But B.C. Lions president Joe Kapp believes CFL players will look up to the five-foot-nine quarterback. “Doug can be a Ron Lancaster- type in the CFL,” Kapp said Friday. “What we're missing is someone with -experience and leadership qualities."" Lancaster, also five foot nine, was selected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1982 after 19 CFL seasons. Flutie, 27, arrived in Vancouver late Thursday for a whirlwind tour of the West Coast. He agreed to meet Kapp personally after negotiations broke down between’ player agent Randy Vataha and Kapp. Flutie, the former Boston College star who won the 1984 Heisman Trophy as the top U.S. college player, met with lions owner Murray Pezim on Friday, But he said he would not make a decision on a B.C. offer until he returns home. “I have no problems with the CFL,”* said Flutie. ‘Il would prefer to play in the CFL at this time.’’ He said his main concern is being so far from Nadick, Mass., where he lives with his wife Laurie and two- year-old daughter Alexa. Flutie also expressed concern over disrupting the B.C. camp, where rookie quarterback Major Harris from West Virginia is being groomed by the coaching staff. “I feel sorry for Major busting his tail to be the starting quarterback when all he hears is this hoopla about this other guy coming to town,”’ Flutie said. “‘He doesn’t need that aggravation. Appearing relaxed and dressed casually in colorful shorts and white T-shirt, Flutie repeated Vataha's Statement that it didn’t make sense for Flutie and Harris to play for the same CFL team. But Kapp stressed the Lions want a seasoned quarterback. The Lions traded 1989 starter Matt Dunigan to the Toronto Argos in the off-season. Flutie became a free agent when teleased by the New England Patriots. There are -NFL teams showing interest in him, he said, but the CFL game is suited to his rollout style. “I would prefer to be a starter in the CFL," he said. “I don’t want to sit on the bench in the NFL until I’m 32." The Lions placed Flutie on their negotiation list after head coach Lary Kuharich joined the team in Novem- ber from the Calgary Stampeders. Kuharich tried to bring Flutie to Calgary last year. Pryor's health questioned WINNIPEG (CP) — The match- maker for a proposed comeback fight here by Aaron Pryor, former world junior welterweight champion, says* he'll recommend the local promoter drop the event. Tommy Burns had agreed to put together a July 19 card for Nite Out Entertainment which would have in- cluded Pryor’s second fight in two months. But Burns said Friday night he’s pulling out. “I've done my own investigation and it would seem that the guy is shot,’’ said the Winnipeg match- maker. Pryor ended a 17-month layoff when he dropped journeyman Daryl Jones in the third round in Madison, Wis., (on May 17.

He has been banned from boxing in a number of states as a result and raised controver- sy when the fight in Wisonsin went ahead. “’ve talked to people who had no axe to grind, people in Wisconsin who were involved in his last fight, like the Promoter and the ring doctor, and they tell me the guy is done,’’ said Burns. “He can’t protect himself and he simply can’t fight as a professional any longer. I’m going to tell (Nite ‘Out) to pull out of anything involving Aaron Pryor.”” Holmes coming back Larry Holmes owns $10 million in mortage-free real estate. He has a wife, five children, and one gran- dchild. Another grandchild is on the way. Holmes also has his health. But, more than two years removed from his last professional bout, the former world heavyweight champion still wants to be in the ring, even though he is 40 and his last fight en- ded when Mike Tyson knocked him out, even then drawing loud criticism for attempting to box at too advanced an age Nonetheless, tonight at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, Holmes is scheduled to fight a four- round exhibition bout against Terry Anderson.

Braves to hold tryouts Big-league baseball is coming to,British Columbia — Trail to be The Atlanta Braves of the National Baseball League are holding a ly 11. tryout camp from 9 a.m .to4 p.m. at Butler Park Jul ‘The Braves’ midwest scouting supervisor, Bill Clark of Columbia, Mo., and Canadian scouting coordinator Lou Derosa of Trail will be Expos continued from page B1 the Expos had a 32-22 record. They won only twice in the seven games he sat out. Asked where DeShields, who was also playing a more-than-adequate second base, would rank among players that he could least afford to lose, Expos manager Buck Rodgers replied: ‘‘Probably the top three, cer- tainy the top four. “The main thing we lose is his on- base percentage — a guy who can rat- tle the pitcher a bit and who can do things other than the obvious, which means getting a pitcher to quick step stealing a base. “The only other guys with his speed are either (Marquis) Grissom or (Tim) Raines. And in recent years, Raines hasn’t done that much to rattle pit- chers, although: he’s running more this year than he has."” With DeShields sidelined, the lead- off job will likely go, for the most part, to Dave Martinez, the team’s hottest hitter in the last 18 games. But that means moving Martinez out of the No. 2 slot and finding someone else — probably Spike Owen, curren- tly the eighth-place hitter — to replace Martinez. “Spike's had a good on-base per- centage in the eighth spot,’’ said Rodgers. ‘‘Whether he'll maintain that in the second spot, I don’t know. Blue Jays continued from page B1 example, they won the pennant on a 53-28 record at Fenway. The Red Sox figured they had the streak snapped They led 10-0 after six innings and Morgan took Mike Greenwell and Dwight Evans out of June 4 last year. the game to rest them Toronto came back with two in the seventh, four in the eighth and five in the ninth — capped by Ernie Whitt’s go-ahead grand slam off Lee Smith. Boston tied it with a run in the bottom of the ninth, then Junior Felix hit a two-run homer off ex-Blue Jay Dennis Lamp in extra innings for a 13-11 victory and win No. 12. “Far and away, that was the worst defeat of my managerial career — any league, any city, hands down,”’ Morgan said. ‘*What a nightmare that was.’” There have been some mighty strange happenings during the streak. Felix had 11 RBIs in that three-game June set. In win No. 10, the rookie hit the first inside-the-park grand slam in Fenway history to cap a 7-2 win. “*He’s been able to draw a lot of walks in the No. 8 spot.’” DeShields, meanwhile, glumly examined his finger, immobilized by a splint, as he dressed for a night of inactivity recently Favoring the Expos is a schedule which has them playing the next 15 of 19 games prior to the all-star break at home, But without one of their main catalysts, it’s a stiff test in crisis management “Tran like crazy,”’ “*At Fenway, and in California, I just see the ball better.’” the Dominican recalled this week Baseball players are a superstitious lot and Boston’s broached “It’s gone, claims Boggs way Aug. 16. Wade Boggs counts himself among them. But he admits to no hex when the subject of Toronto's streak is forgotten, water under the bridge,”’ “It’s in the past. “It’s frustrating, but all we can do is go out and play our best. If the cards fall for them, they fall.’’ Boston made-a habit of leaving runners stranded during the streak. Last August they left 32 on base during a three-game series at Fenway. Still it looked like victory was imminent in the series — and season — finale at Fen. Clemens took a four-hitter and 3-2 lead into the eighth inning, but was lifted by Morgan after Mookie Wilson's lead-off single. Tony Fernandez greeted reliever us to Monday. Rob Murphy with a run-scoring double to tie it.

CosNews photo by John Charters Heritage Society wraps up year By JOHN CHARTERS “It has been an interesting, if sometimes exhausting and frustrating year, and what we have accomplished is a credit to all of you.”’ Sherrel Koreen, president of the Castlegar and District Heritage Society, made that comment when she gave her report at the society’s second annual general meeting held June 7 at the Castlegar Rail Station. “We have seen a great deal of progress this year,’ she said, and noted that the restoration work on the baggage room and the waiting room of the station, as well as the kitchen and one bedroom, was almost com- plete arrd attractive to visitors. Extensive fire proofing has been carried out and fire and security alar- ms installed. This had been accom- plished, Koreen said, with the con- siderable assistance of the Canadian Legion, the Selkirk Lions, Kalesnikoff Lumber, B.C. Telephone, Spartan Security, business and private donors and many hours of work by volunteer craftsmen and helpers. Extensive landscaping has also been done with the help of more volunteer. labor and Grassroots Gar- dening. Because both the station and the Chapel House were kept open during the winter months, it was possible to carry through many renovations which would have been impossible in the busier spring and summer mon- the Job Development ran out in March, the station was closed to visitors and the Chapel House kept open only on weekends with the help of Friends of the Island volunteers and prospects for a hoped summer visitor record faded. Cuts in federal and provincial grant programs made tourism Prospects even poorer. The situation turned around abrup- tly, however, when four guide- restorers were obtained from the Job Development Program and a large crew from the Castlegar and District Development Board moved in to clean up at the station and build rock walls. and trenches for the long- awaited fire line on the island. It was essential, Koreen said, to in- crease the membership and number of working members of the society, in- crease public awareness, particularly in the schools, and give greater con- centration to grant applications. Total cooperation in this was a com- munity activity and the project had outgrown the capabilities of a handful of tiring volunteers. Koreen thanked the Friends of the Island, society executive members Verna Keraiff, Doris Sweeney, Dick and Diana McLeod, Karl Koreen, John and Bunny Charters, Connie Schmidt, Gordie Hill, her board and all the other ‘‘faithfuls’’ who had made the job possible. “The coming year will have its high and low points but I know that all of you working together will ensure that it will be successful and memorable,"’ she said. In the course of the meeting, John Charters reported on the B.C Heritage Society conference in Surrey and of the Community Pride workshop which preceded it. It was, he suggested, an essential program en- terprise for this community. Dave Gairns and Roy Ward will prepare further studies on its implementation.
