It was O’Sullivan’s first loss since he resumed pro fight- ing in March. BASEBALL —_—— One pitch was all Jeff Harris needed in the final inning Thursday to send his Stoney Creek, Ont., team to the final of the Canadian Little League baseball championship. Harris hit Blair Crockett’s pitch over the centrefield fence for a grand-slam home run and a 5-3 victory over Whalley, B.C., in a tiebreaker game.

NOTES Kid makes it at nationals Castlegar golfer still in hunt By ED MILLS Staff Writer Where more than half of Canada’s best junior golfers failed, Castlegar’s Todd Archam- bault has succeeded. It took the best round of his life, and he didn’t do it by much, but he did it nevertheless. Archambault shot a third- round 76 Thursday at the par 71 Carleton Golf and Yacht Club in Ottawa to make the cut at the under-19 National Junior golf championships. It was Archambault’s best round of the tourney and it came at exactly the right time. “The cut was 234 and that’s what I was,” Archambault said golfers in the country. “I try to as best as I can at the time.-I don’t really think about it too much out there. I just try to hit each shot as it comes.” Hitting decent shots has been the challenge over the three days on what Archambault called "a tough little course.” “You hit a bad shot here and you're in the woods. It’s short but it’s really narrow, really nar- row. The rough is really deep and there's lot of water.” The course has already claimed its share of tourney hopefuls including last year’s junior champion Greg Trammel of Vancouver, who didn’t make the cut. But it’s not all serious and tense for Archambault. "It’s a good opportunity, and I want to make it every year. It’s really good golf. It’s fun.” Mississauga, Ont, native Bri- an McCann — who, like Archambault, is a 16-and-under Thursday night from his his motel room in Ottawa where he’s staying with his dad. Archambault had a first round 81 Tuesday and followed that with a 77 to put him within striking distance. Still, he was counting his blessings after coming through with a one under on the back nine, just when he needed it. “I could have been out just as easily as I was in, but I played the best golf I ever played in my life on the back nine probably. I was three under par at one point,” he said. The 15-year-old, who spends virtually his entire summer at the Castlegar Golf Course and plays for the high school team in the spring, said his goal was to make the cut, now everything else is gravy. He said he tries not to think about where he is and that he’s playing among the best young Big prize money attracts Rossland-Trail Open on tap By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Golf Club’s three professionals and several of the city’s best golfers will be going for the money this week- end in the Rossland-Trail Open at the Birchbank Golf Course. Head pro Denny McArthur and his assistants Kevin Biln and Steve Johnston are among a field of 190 golfers vying for a piece of the tourney’s $4,500 in prize money. The winner will get a cheque for $1,200 while second place gets $700 and third gets $500. It’s the largest field at the pro-am event in several years, said Birchbank ‘professional The defending World Series champion Cincinnati Reds have been fighting frustration for weeks and now they’re fighting them- selves. “It’s embarrassing, and shouldn’t happen,” said Reds manager Lou Piniella after the Cincinnati dugout almost erupted into a full- scale brawl! in the fourth inning of the Reds’ 25th loss in 35 National League base- ball games Thursday night.

And by all accounts the all- time leading money winner in the national long drive contest was right on the mark with his performance Wednesday at the Castlegar Golf Course. About 40 people paid $8 each to watch Wilson demon strate his particular brand of ability and showmanship in an hour-long show. “He put on one hell of a good clinic,” said Castlegar professional Denny McArthur who, along with Birchbank Golf Course pro Wayne Gam- borski, brought Wilson in for the event. “He did a lot of trick shots, using everything from stuffed animals, eye glasses and a banana,” said McArthur. “And he was actually very, very good at instructing people and answering any questions they wanted.” Wilson, who regularly wowed the audience hitting the ball 360 yards and more, is a golf teacher in the United States and travels with the professional tour as a repre- sentative for a golf equipment manufacturer and wowed the crowd at the Castlegar Golf Course On Thursday he put on the same show at the Birch- hit the ball from this volunteer's mouth.

The three-time national champion fell on the last lap of a 1,500-metre qualify- ing race, ripping his shorts and baring his buttocks. “I took the turn very tight and started to slip,” said Corfe, 28, after donning a second pair of short. “My feet came out ive: Gents dere | comp own ey itt. “I looked back and saw a stream of red (cloth) because I ripped my uniform.

Corfe, his 18-year-old brother, Lee, and Charlotte Freeman of Abbotsford, BC., failed to make the finals in the men's and women's 1,500-metre races Thursday at the jitan Park oval.
