BARRY WERNER Full Gospel Fellowship People everywhere are asking the question, ‘Is divine healing for today?” They wonder, **does God still care for the sick and the suffering?” or ‘has the age of miracles passed away?” In the word of God, it tells us that, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”’ (Hebrews 13:8) We read in the Bible of many healings and miracles. The blind saw, the deaf head, the cripples walked Jesus healed every manner of sickness and every manner of disease. He was ho respector of persons or type of illness Jesus Christ healed all the sick who came to him. Healing is still a part of Christ's ministry today. He has not changed. If he ever was a loving, com passionate, healing Christ, He still is God says, **For I am the Lord that healeth thee’?

But there were few satisfied Blue Jays in the Toronto clubhouse Thur sday night after their 11-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles and a careful in spection of the road trip shows why The Jays started with five con secutive wins, working their way up to the .500 mark and second place, the best news of a frustrating season. But two losses to the Oakland A’s, followed by two more to the Orioles, brought the Jays back toearth A sweep of the first-place Orioles would have left Toronto just three games behind. With their win Thur sday, they are seven back “don't know about this team,” said Ernie Whitt, who looked. glum despite going 3-for-3 Thursday to raise his batting average to .324. “We score a lot of runs one night, then we don’t scofe any another. We still haven't reached that consistent point “We wanted to win two out of three at least (against Baltimore), but we didn't doit Toronto returns to the SkyDome tonight, where they will play four games against the Boston Red Sox.

The Orioles, who lead second-place New York by 6 1-2 games, will host the last-place Detroit Tigers now Tough week for Tu-Dor By GUY BERTRAND Staff Writer Tu-Dor Sports was theomly team to play two Castlegar Comntercial Fastball League games this week and as the scores came in perhaps they wish they could only have played one Last night Tu-Dor’s offense picked up nine hits but their opponents, Banjos Pub, collected 20 hits on their way toa 14-11 win. Tuesday night was more of the same for Tu Dor only the setting was different. At Playmor Field, Labatts connected 15 times as they topped Tu-Dor 10-6 Despite the losses, Tu-Dor remains two points up on idle Hi Arrow. However, Hi Arrow has four games in hand. BANJOS 14 TU-DOR 11 It looked more like a driving range than a ballpark Balls were flying out of the infield faster than they were coming in. Banjoshad 20 hits while Tu-Dor picked up nine as Banjos defeatéd them 14-11 atKinnaird Park last night Rob Gretchen and Gord Walker had the hot sticks for Banjos. Both went 3-for-4 at the plate while lead-off man Lyle Stoushnow scored four times to chalk up the runs. Banjos jumped to a quick lead as Stoushnow homered in his first at bat and spurred his team on to pick up another two runs to spot them an early 3-0 lead. Banjos pitcher Eli Soukeroff held Tu-Dor scoreless for the first three innings while his teammates racked up a6-0 advantage. Soukeroff then gave way to Gretchen just as the Tu: Dor bats came alive. Tu-Dor struck for four runs in the fourth as Eli Chernenkov, Kent Smith, Dave Zarikoff and Bob Marsh crossed the plate and the slugfest was on. Ban- jos struck back with four runs of their own in the fifth as Stoushnow and Terry Taranoff hit back-to-back doubles to highlight the inning. Not to be outdone, Fu-Dor picked up another run in the fifth, three in the sixth and three more in the final inning but.still feli-three runs short. Zarikoff led the way for Tu Dor going 2-for-3 at the plate and scoring two runs in a losing cause. Soukeroff got the win, his seventh, and Cam Sookro suffered the loss LABATTS 10 TU-DOR6 Tu-Dor's rough week started Tuesday at Playmor Field as Pete Evdokimoff picked up his eighth win, tops in the league, in a 10-6 Labatts victory over Tu-Dor Things started well for Tu-Dor as they rebounded from an early 1-0 deficit to score two runs of their own and take a 2-1 first inning lead. Labatts tied the score in the third as Bob Essaunce scored on Don Savinkoff’s single The flood gates opened in the fourth as Labatts scored three runs. Chris Tereposky’s first of three hits was a triple scoring Bill Tarasoff. Tereposky scored on Ken Koor batoff’s single and Wayne Kuzyk finished the rally sending Koorbatoff home on a double. Three more runs in the sixth for Labatts provided them with enough of a margin to hold off a sixth inning rally by Tu-Dor. Runs scored by Cherenkov, Zarikoff and Sookro closed the gap to 8-6 going into the final frame. But Labatts picked up two more runs and held Tu-Dor scoreless in their at bat to end the game 10-6 Tereposky had a great evening going 3-for-3 and scoring three runs. Koorbatoff also crossed the plate three times for the winners and Savinkoff went 2-for-3 to lend a hand. Tu-Dor’s bottom of the batting order kept the offen ce alive. Their numbers six, seven and eight hitters, Zarikoff, Sookro and Marsh, all went 2-for-3 ina losing ef fort Scott great as Astros top Expos The happiest Blue Jay on Thursday was rookie pitcher Steve Cummings; who won his first major league start After a shaky first inning, where the Orioles scored one run on back-to- back doubles, Cummings settled down, giving up just four more hits un til he was removed after the seventh JAYS WIN By that time, the Jays were leading 10-1 and Cummings said the offence was much appreciated “There was the pressure of the first start,’’ said Cummings, wearing a T shirt with his name hand-written on the back so reporters could find him. “1 have put the Jays nine games back “Every game's a big game, but you don’t want to put that kind of pressure on the players,"’ he said The Jays ran away with the game in the fourth inning. With the score tied 1-1, Toronto rapped out five singles - most of them just clip shots beyond the infield — and a double to score five runs. Tony Fernandez knocked in three runs in the game and Kelly Gruber hit his ninth homer of the year, a two-run shot in the fifth. In total, Toronto had season-high 19 hits, 12 of which came off loser Dave Schmidt, 7-7 Jays regain winning ways manager Frank Robinson said of the one-sided gamé, the worst defeat his team has suffered this year, “But when it happens, you don’t get upset about it. You just take it and go on Jays notes: Lloyd Moseby was the only Toronto player not to get a hit, but he made several nice plays in the outfield . .. While the Orioles fans love their many in the crowd of 39,528 booed Robinson for not taking Schmidt out earlier... The Jays have signed Eddie Zosky, a shortstop from Fresno State who was Toronto's first team, round pick (19th overall) in this mon this free agent draft. He'll report to just knew I had to throw my game and hope we could score some runs. And that’ sjust what happened.” Cummings, the top pitcher at Toronto's Class AAA farm club witha 7-3 record, was called up last Friday to bolster the Jays’ bullpen. He was given the start because Dave Stieb has a sore right’ shoulder, although he’s Scheduled to pitch next Tuesday The Jays will have another shot at the Orioles next week, when they travel to Toronto for three games.

(AP) — Major League Baseball should expand by six teams if it hopes to keep legislators from examining its*antftrasr- exemption, a U.S. senator said. “Everybody knows they're going to at least expand (by) two teams,"’ Connie Mack, R-Florida, said. “If that’s what they come back with, I don’t think there is going to bea great deal of excitement among senators.”” Mack and Senator Bob Graham, D-Florida, are ac- tive in a baseball task force made up of senators from expansion markets. “The Tampa-St. Pete area is clearly a great market,"’ Mack said, adding, ‘The Orlando market and the whole east, southeast coast, basically the Miami area — all three of those would be a major baseball fran- chise.” Denver, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Buffalo, N.Y., Columbus, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., are among other markets often mentioned as potential expansion sites, ““Baseball has been slow in bringing the game to places in America that don’t have teams,” said Ken Klein, spokesman for Graham. **The good news is that market forces are so compelling for baseball in Florida that major league baseball will come to Florida whether some owners like it or not."" “League expansion urged Mack, who met with baseball Commissioner A Bartlett Giamatti earlier this year on the expansion question, has been miffed at Major League Baseball sin- ce a Chicago White Sox flirtation with the city of St Petersburg last year. COMPETE FOR TEAM After the Florida Legislature approved a $30 million contingency to speed up construction on a domed stadium in St. Petersburg for the White Sox, the Illinois General Assembly approved a new stadium financing package to keep the American League team in Chicago **With the way Chicago played on Florida and St Pete, you can’t help but get a little angry at that,” Mack said. ‘*St. Petersburg and Chicago are not the first two cities that got into that kind of situation, and I told Giamatti that I thought that major league baseball was taking advantage of their situtation “If (not) for the anti-trust provisipns, I don't believe that St. Petersburg would have been treated as they were during this last series of negotiations,”” he said, adding he would meet again with Giammati, probably in July Mack, whose late grandfather helped form the American League in 1901, believes the National League will initially expand into Florida with one team Lions stampede Calgary CALGARY (CP) — Matt Dunigan threw Dave Williams and Johnny Holloway ran 80 yards to score on a blocked Calgary field goal attempt as the B.C defeated the- Stampeders 25-7 in a Canadian Football League exhibition game Thursday Highly touted rooked pivot Terren. ce Jones from two touchdowns to Foggie Lions terback Tulane University, in New Orleans, made a solid debut in his first CFL game for Calgary, pleting 14 of 22 passes for 138 yards, ‘one touchdown and an interception But his quick feet — he carried the ball himself eight times for 49 yards weren't enough against the Dunigan’s experience and compliments of com. set B.C yardage plays veteran strong Dunigan played most of the first half to set the Lions on the winning road before being replaced by Rickey Jones came into the game in the second quarter after a non-descript performance by another import quar David DenBraber, returned in the second half After a scoreless first quarter, B.C got on the board at 1:11 of the second the Stampeders face-masking penalty against Calgary up for Dunigan's 29-yard pass to Williams after a handful of short Dunigan threw another 29-yarder to Williams exactly two minutes later af ter Anthony Parker's S1-yard romp were Jones got into the game.

Volto WANETA PLAZA TRAIL, B.C. NELSON, B.C. STORE HOURS: Closed Canada Day CHAHKO-MIKA MALL Sat., July 1 Monday & Tuesday 9:30 @.m.-5:30 p.m MONTREAL (CP) — The con clusion, Montreal Expos manager Buck Rodgers said Thursday night, was that Mike Scott ‘beat us fair and square."" Rodgers had challenged the fairness of it all in the fourth inning when he had home-plate umpire Joe West check the glove of Scott, the Houston Astros right-hander who routinely suspected ‘of scuffing the baseball The Expos came up empty on the search and in.the game, Scott won 8-3, earning his major-league-leading 13th victory by scattering eight hits over eight innings. The victory, Scott’s eighth in nine career decisions at Olympic Stadium, ended Montreal's six-game winning streak and shaved the Expos’ lead atop the East Division of the National League to two games over the idle New York Mets. The Astros have won II straight games on the road against East Division op. ponents. “(Expos pitcher) Kevin picked up a couple of balls that had marks on them," Rodgers said of his request to have Scott checked. Last year, Scott had to remove a piece of is almost Gross tape from his finger that he wore while pitching against the Expos “You never find out something unless you check, but the umpire didn’t find anything tonight.” Scott was as baffling as the perfor mance of Gross in games that he has lost this season. He has a 7-7 record, but his earned-run average in the vic tories is 1.40, while it is 9.73 in the losses. Billy Hatcher's third home run — a three-run shot in the fifth inning, star ted Gross’s decline. A four-run sixth inning, during which Gross was charged with three more earned runs before being removed for Andy McGaffigan, sealed Gross’s fate. Melville, Sask., native Terry Puhl’s RBI triple and RBI doubles by Ken Caminiti and Hatcher — the latter off McGaffigan — provided the Astros with a 7-1 lead. Bill Doran's solo homer — his eighth — off Steve Frey added arun inthe seventh “1 wish I did know why his losses are so much different than the wins,"’ Rodgers said, referring to Gross. ‘‘He goes out there some nights and takes charge and is almost unbeatable ““Othér nights, he looks like he’s waiting — not so much waiting to get beat, but he’s just more defensive."* Gross could offer no clue to help ex- plain the phenomenon. *‘Some of the games I was getting beat because | was dropping down and it was keeping the ball up,"” he said. **But tonight, | was challenging guys inside and throwing my breaking bill for strikes a lot “My mistake tonight, I guess, was in never taking the time to get into a sequence where | was going to throw the change up alot.”* Scott, 13-4, who yielded an RBI double to Hubie Brooks in the first, was unscored on until Brook's RBI single in the eighth. Reliever Dave Smith was touched for Dave Mar tinez’s RBI single in the ninth Expos Notes: Wallace Johnson got a Fare start atafirst base, replacing An- dres Galarraga. A .118 career average by Galarraga against Astros starter Mike Scott weighed heavily in the decision by Rodgers Besides lauding the work of the pitching staff, Rodgers cites the Expos’ solid defen sive play as a big factor in their recent surge. With a .980 fielding percentage, the team is third-best in the NHL, behind the Phillies and the Dodgers. Navratilova on track for ninth Wimbledon title LONDON (AP) — Martina Navratilova, aiming fora record ninth Wimbledon women’s singles title, completed a comeback she began the previous afternoon with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory today over Australian qualifier Kristine Rad ford Also winning in an early match on the tennis tour nament’s fifth day were No. 13 Aaron Krickstein of the United States in men’s play and 15-year-old Yugoslav Monica Seles, seeded | 1th among the women, Navratilova, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit to take the second set and even the match before night fell Thursday, completed the comeback in sunshine with an overpowering net and service-return game. Radford, who lost in straight sets to Navratilova two weeks ago in their only previous meeting, had a break point in the eighth game but lost the chance when Navratilova put away a forehand volley WINNING BACKHANDERS She forced Navratilova to two deuces, but Navratilova took a 5-3 lead on an ace and broke Radford for the match, getting the final two points on backhand service return winners, first crosscourt, then down the line. Krickstein, eliminated in the first round in his only previous Wimbledon appearance in 1984, advanced to the third round with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Patrick Kuhnen of West Germany In the women’s draw, Seles, who lives in Florida, whipped Eva Sviglerova of Czechoslovakia 6-4, 6-3 The first four days of this Grand Slam tournament have seen the usual upsets and expected victories, but no true pattern has emerged Take Thursday, for example One day after Jimmy Connors bowed out in the second round, only the third time he had exitéd so early in 18 years, McEnroe. McEnroe, a three-time champion, second successive time before booking a berth in the last 32 of the men’s singles. The 30-year-old New Yorker, who needed five sets to oust Australia’s Darren Cahill in the tirst round, had to bat tle for another four to dispatch Richey Reneberg, an American ranked 106th in the world, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.
