Moseby tired of losing

By MARK HARDING

DUNEDIN, Fla. (CP) —
Lloyd Moseby is a msn who's
tired with a capital T.

The Toronto Blue Jays’
outfielder is gifted with
splendid talent, but has yet
to put it on display in base-
ball's American League. He's
been a winner all his baseball
life and is tired of losing.

He's also tired of people
asking him when he'll blos-
som into the superstar he's
been touted as since joining
the Jays in 1980. He's tired of
being razzed by friends about

club.

If he could, he's single-
handedly raise Toronto out of
the AL East cellar it's
occupied for five years and
give it a World Series title.
. “If anybody wants a win-
ner for Toronto it’s me,” said
Moseby, a 22-year-old native
of Portland, Ak., who aver-
aged .819 in three minor-
league seasons. In his two
years with Toronto, he has
batted at a .231 clip.

“I want to bring home.a
winner as much as anybody
else,” he added, “You know,
Tm tired of losing too, just
like the fans,

“The last two years I
haven't done the things I
know I can do.”

It’s not for lack of confi-

years with the Blue Jays, his

Crawford has been officiating for 44 years and

. Prowlx for 95. The two — who have know each other for

42 years — have been officiating together for the last six
years.

Through the years, the two have survived the
changes in officiating.

One of the major changes has been the switch to a
three-man refree system from a two-man system.

“It's hard to get used to,” says Prowlx. “My belief

was that two men could see more > than one — two men: :

called the penalties.”

He still believes in the old two-man system for
commion penalties.

Prowlx also notes that the game is a lot faster today
because of another rule change.

‘When he first began officiating, if a player was on the

offensive, he had to come out to the blueline to pass the

puck toone of his players at the other blueline.-But today
a player can pass the puck from behind the net to the
centre red line, making the game faster.

He says the three-man system is good but the :
linesmen should have authority to call - penalties,
especially penalties the referee missed.

“We are not condemning the three-man system,” he
says. “We are from the old family. It’s hard to get used to
the new.” : 5

SCHOOL BELL

“Them days we used a bell instead of a whistle,” adds
Crawford. “A school bell.”

He also notes that sticks are carried higher now.

Prowlx mentions that ice officials are more protected
today.

“In my day if a referee or linesman was pushed
around the player got a misconduct.”

Today, a player can get up to a year’s suspension for
just touching an official.

“People used to throw things at the referee. Many
times I got eggs and tomatoes thrown at me. Today they
can get sued for doing that.”

Both Crawford and Prowlx have been skating since
the age of four or five.

Prowlx was raised in the Edmonton minor hockey |
system while Crawford began skating in Saskatoon.

Prowlx began playing hockey “because Edmonton is
acold place and you play hockey eight months of the year
there.”

His father used to play hockey and also his brother,
whom they called Bob Pussy, nicknamed after National
Hockey League's Bob Puzzi. At the age of 15, Pussy was
one of the best junior hockey players in Edmonton.

’,, Prowlx, went as far as juvenile hockey: in: :Edmontony;.
then he was invited to Trail in 1940 to play for the Junior
Smoke.Eaters, playing with the team for two years.

*'ART CRAWFORD
.. used a school bell

MARCEL PROWLX
... likes two-man system

He spent four years in the armed forces before -
coming back to Trail in 1945, where he played in.the
intermediate and commercial league until 1950,

He has coached pee wees to juveniles — including the |
Trail Pee Wee Reps for seven years leading them to the
provincial championship title in 1970. He has also coached
senior girls hockey for three years.

For Crawford, the first pair of skates he put‘ ‘on were
a pair of bob skates, at the age of four or five.-

He played on school teams until moving to
Vanscoy, Sask. where he played in the minor hockey
system.

He also played intermediate hockey in Delisle, Sask,
along with ofur of the famous Bentley brothers.

“A true hockey town,” he recalls of Delisle. “Even
grandma played hockey there.”

He played hockey until 1988, when he first began a

refereeing.
“My dad refereed hockey until he was over 60,"
Crawford says.
Crawford was referee-in-chief of the Trail City
Commercial League for a few years.
ANY YEAR

How much longer will they continue to officiate?

“It could be any year,” says Prowlx. “It-depends on
your health and who wants you.” But es adds, "Minor. :
hockey will,always. want, you.”

Says Crawford, “My wife said ‘this u the ‘nat year;
but as long as they (the players) treat me the way they
have been treating me and I feel well enough to get out
and do it, I'll do it.”

But both have noticed that they are slowing down
and are a little slower in picking up the puck,

“Mentally it bothers.me a bit,” says Prowlx. If Sta

n't keep up, you're on your way out.”

They say there haven't been many complaints about
their officiating because of their age — in fact there may
even be fewer complaints. ,

+ “I got my share (of complaints) the same as the rest,”.
says Crawford. “One thing I believe is that if I make a
mistake, I am the firstone to tell them I made a mistake.”

When hockey season ends so does sports involve-
ment for the two former Cominco employees.

Prowlx used to be involved with the Trail swimming
club, track and field, and baseball, but since his seven
children have grown up, he has lost interest.

Crawford feels he has done enough when winter
ends, and doesn't want to get involved in softball or other
summer sports. But hockey?

“It keeps me in shape and I feel like about 85 and I
can skate good enough to satisfy myself when I'm out on
the ice,” says Crawford.

Prowlx does it because he enjoys it. He likes to get
involved with the players and it keeps him in shape.

But the two aren't giving up refereeing — - Just yet
anyway. —

“They'v 've (minor hockey) already asked us back for
next year,” they say.

And the two level 2 officials are willing to go-a \ step

further before retiring.

“If the NHL wants us to do'a game we'd certainly
come along,” they ay ‘

Martina hungry for Evert's blood

By WILL GRIMSELY
The Press

“The trouble with me I
haven't been mean. enough,”
says Martina Navratilova.
“It's different now “— I'm
using a black racket instead
of a white one.”

She is hungry. Hungry for

| Chris Evert Lloyd's blood.

Tracy Austin's ‘blood. The
blood of anybody who tries to
block her march to the posi-
tion of undisputed: No. 1 in
women's tennis. °

“When I first came here, I
didn't think anybody in the
world could beat me," Mar-
tina said, referring to 1975
when as an 18-year-old she
defected from her’ native
Czechoslovakia ‘and applied
for U.S. citizenship.

“I think that’s still so, but
somewhere in the seven
years between I got side-

. tracked.

“I didn't make the most of
my potential. It was all my
fault — mostly mental. I was
too sure of myself. If I got
down in a match, I got down
on myself and let matches
slip away.:

“It's different now. I am a
better player than I ever
was, physically and mentally,
more confident and more de-
termined. My goals are to be
the most consistent winner in
tennis, win the U.S. Open
and’ take over: No. 1 from.
Chrissy.”

The first of the three goals
already has been reached.
With Lloyd passing up most
of the winter tour because of
‘a muscle sprain, Martina has
won five tournaments, 21
matches in a row, and needs
only to win the $100,000 first
prize in the Avon Champion-
ships at Madison Square
Garden this week to pass

Lloyd as the game's all-time
leading money winner among
women.

Chris has career earnings
of $3,691,352. Martina. is
breathing down her neck
with $8,626,704, of which
$167,000 was won the first
three months of this year.

Martina regrets that both
Lloyd and Austin, the latter
sidelined by a chronic back
ailment, are absent from the
field. She is eager to prove
the mettel of the new Mar-
tina Navratilova against the
world's best.

“I think Tracy is mentally
tougher,” she says of Austin. .
“If Tracy gets Chrissy down
3-1, Chrissy starts shaking
her head.

“She knows she can't win.
If racy gets down 3-1, she
fights that much harder.”

Martina has had a roller
coaster career, alternating

highs with depths of frus-
tration. At first she was a
typical American teenager,
into jeans, rock music and a
fanatical interest in the Dal-
las Cowboys football team.

Her tennis flourished. She
won two Wimbledons and
became the world’s best n
197-79, Then her magnificent
game began to deteriorate as
she seemed to grope for a
lifestyle. She had a romantic
involvement with another
woman,

She brought her family
over from Czechoslovakia
and had a home built for
them, But it didn’t work out.
The family returned home.
Martina’s tennis reflected
edginess and uncertainty.

A year ago, Martina struck
up a friendship with Nancy

at Old Dominion and later in
