VANCOUVER (CP) — The beleaguered B.C. Lions, suffering on and off the field, found some peace of mind Tuesday night after five weeks of nightmarish losses in the Canadian Football League. A revised set of running backs and a sudden maturing of the linebacking corps allowed the Lions to end their most frustrating start toa season in 20 years Darrell Wallace returned the opening kickoff 91 yards for a sensational touchdown while rookie linebackers Alondra Johnson and Jerry Beasley keyed a charged-up defence during a 16-11 upset of the astonished Toronto Argos “The feeling is incredible,” about his TD romp. ** You dream about things like that Wallace made his first CFL starting assignment a memorable occasion by rushing for 58 years while adding 119 yards on kickoffs and 32 more on punt returns. STREAKENDS The Lions had lost five straight and were also faced with an off-field crisis as team finances dwindled when crowds dropped off But the 27,436 fans liked what they saw against Toron- to. li was Joe Galat’s first win as B.C. coach. B.C. quarterback Matt Dunigan, who led a conser vative offence, had 17 pass completions in 33 attempts for a jubilant Wallace said Although the Lions didn’t score a touchdown on of- fence, Lui Passaglia did kick three field goals. “Thad to improve on last week after a pitiful display,"’ an emotional Passaglia said. **At 0-8; who knows, it could have been my time to go down the road."* Johnson and Beasley — the latter also had an intercep- tion — helped hold Toronto running back Gill Fenerty to 34 yards in 11 carries. ARGOS CONTAINED Toronto had a net offence of 364 years, but managed only one touchdown when Gilbert Renfroe threw 48 yards to Jeff Boyd in the first quarter to tie the score. Argo receivers dropped several passes as Renfroe completed 21 of 40 attempts for 299 yards. It was Toronto's third loss in six games. “They wanted the game worse than we did,” said Ren froe. “I think the second downs hurt us when we didn’t that was the key.”” “T hate to see us make the kind of mistakes that cost us the game,”’ said angry Argo coach Bob O'Billovich, ‘We made some mistakes at the wrong time."

But he leaves his San Francisco Giants’ teammates with a wealth of inspiration Dravecky, making his second start in a stirring comeback from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on his left arm, helped the Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Expos on Tuesday night. But as he delivered his first pitch to Tim Raines, the third batter of the sixth inning, he fell face forward in front of the mound Several minutes later, he was wheeled from Olympic Stadium on a stretcher and he later learned at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital that the bone had snapped when he delivered the pitch, which dribbled about 20 feet wide of home plate “He won't need an operation, but it will be six to eight weeks before the heals,’ explained spokesman Robin Carr “His arm will be placed in a mobilizing sling and he will be evaluated in Palo Alto by the team physician.”” The injury is in the same area that was frozen by doctors last Sept. 20, when they performed the surgery to remove a malignant cyst, two-by-three centimetres in diameter, from his left arm bone Giants FEARED INJURY Several of the Giants said they had worried for some time that this part of Dravecky’s arm was especially vulnerable when he went through the rigors of pitching “Maybe that (the removal of so much muscle) is what made the arm By CasNews Staff Last year’s 130 participants was ‘the bes} turnout ever’’ for the Terry Fox Run in Castlegar and organizers are hoping to top that mark again this year The run, in memory of Terry Fox, is entering its ninth year of fundraising for cancer research and is set for Sept. 17 Verona Walker, co-ordinator of this year’s run, said she hopes to improve on the amount raised in the last few years “Last year was the best tur nout,”’ said Walker.

STIFLES EXPOS Dravecky had stifled the Expos on three hits and, helped by Matt Williams's two-run home run off Bryn Smith, 9-7, he carried a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth But Damaso Garcia opened the in ning with his third home run and Dravecky then hit Andres Galarraga with a pitch. It was his first pitch to Raines that caused him to injure his arm. Galarraga went to third base on the wild pitch and he scored on a sacrifice fly by Raines. But the Expos mustered no more runs off relievers Jeff Brantley and Steve Bedrosian, who notched his 16th save by working the ninth and getting the final two outs with the tying run at third base. It was the 10th loss in 12 games for the struggling Expos, who fell into third place, four games behind the East Division-leading Chicago Cubs and a half-game behind the second-place New York Mets.

Jays slug BOSTON (AP) — It'll be up to Roger Clemens, the last pitcher to beat the Blue Jays at Fenway Park, to see if he can halt Toronto's 14-game winning streak at Boston tonight ““If we played every game here, we might be 100-19 right now,”’ Toronto reliever Duane Ward said with a grin Tuesday night after earning his 12th save in the Blue Jays” 7-2 victory over the Red Sox. “*Don’t say it too loudly,"” Ward said when asked about one game over .500, good for a second-place tie with Milwaukee, 2 1-2 games behind Baltimore in the AL East The Red Sox, who set an AL record by winning’24 home games in a row last year, were stunned after another loss despite 11 hits. They hit into four double plays and still left 13 runners on base “*You can’t beat anyone playing like that,’” Boston manager Joe Morgan said. ‘And how many times are we going to load the bases and not get anything?” The Blue Jays, who have turned little Fenway Park in- to their home away from the dome since a 9-1 loss to Clemens on Aug. 10, 1987, exploded for 15 hits, including solo homers by Lloyd Moseby, Manny Lee and Rance Mulliniks and a double and three singles by Mookie Wilson For the third time this season, the Blue Jays are one game over .500 with a 60-59 record And they can thank a \4-game winning streak in Boston, including five victories this season Sox again “There's just no way of explaining our streak here,”” said Ward. ‘‘Why, when Boston comes into our place, they beat us up there.”* HAS TOEND Since Fenway Park was built in 1912, no visiting club ever has won so many consecutive games. According to Red Sox records, the previous high was 11 by.the Cleveland In dians in the 1950s. “Things like this come to an end eventually, but you can’t say we have a mental edge over them,” said Dave Stieb, 12-7, who allowed five hits and one run in five in nings for the victory with relief help. “Well, tomorrow we have one more chance with the behemoths,"’ Morgan said as ie named Clemens, 12-8, to pitch in Toronto's final 1989 appearance tonight Clemens is scheduled to be opposed by Todd Stot tlemyre, 4-5, “*Our goal is to beat Roger Clemens, not worry about streaks, "* Moseby said. Stieb staked to a 4-0 lead as the Blue Jays pounded Boston starter Mike Smithson, 6-11, for eight hits in less than three innings, said he took the advice of teammates “to goat them like a bulldog.”” ““We're tough to figure, aren’t we,’ Smithson said af- ter the Red Sox fell 4/2 games behind Baltimore with their third loss ina row and sixth in nine games. “I think we're a better ballclub than we've shown, but we just can’t seem to get anything going.”” VANCOUVER (CP) The troubled CFL moved to control one economic forest fire Tuesday, only to have another financial blaze break out League ding the Ottawa-Carleton regional council's loan of $500,000 to the Ottawa Rough Riders, then discovered the B.C. Lions are facing a payroll crisis The B.C said CFL president Bill Baker, but the debt-ridden team needs $1 million in new capital to meet remaining 1989 governors approved conditions surroun players will be paid on schedule today, commitments. “They need a sizable amount of money to complete the season,” said a sombre Baker after a nine-hour meeting. “We have to deal with the Lions in a serious matter over the next couple of weeks.”* The proposed sale of the Lions to. Vancouver businessmen Funk and Bruce Allen was discussed by the CFL executive council said Baker, but Steven no details were released The community-owned team, which lost $3.1 million last season, began the season with debts of $8.9 million and the franchise was put up for sale in the spring The Funk-Allen group, which includes the enter tainment-based CPI Inc. of Toronto, was declared the| preferred bidder by the B.C. board of directors MONEY USED The Lions are having cash-flow problems because they have used 1989 operational income to pay some of last year’s debts, Baker said Baker insisted the Lions would not cease operation and that all payrolls would be met mitted to operate the team should the Lions fold The bid to buy the Lions apparently was stalled by a need for a tax ruling on the handling of repayment to creditors. The Lions’ largest creditor ($4 million) is the B.C. Pavilion Corp., the Crown corporation that manages B.C.

The Riders also are a community based team, with 27 limited partners. The Lions, founded in 1953, are incorporated as a non-profit society and managed by a volunteer board of directors elected from community membership. Team president Norm Fieldgate, an original Lion player in 1954, was dismayed by the cash-shortage Fieldgate praised the efforts of executive vice- president Stu Kehoe, appointed in late March, for keeping expenses in line with budget figures. “Stu's kept the expenses in line, but we're below the revenue budget,” said Kehoe. ‘*The little guy’s done everything he can to get the fans back in the stands. A losing record really doesn’t pertain to fan sup port. We need fans back in the seats."" The winless Lions had lost five straight before Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Argonauts “This is not an overnight surprise that the Lions are fighting,” Fieldgate added. ‘Our ‘89 operation is break-even right now, but we had a 1988 debt load that had to be serviced. “Our crowd support has been good, bit we need even more. even more ~
