Team workouts foggy

MONTREAL L(CP) -
Team Canada almost became
a foggy memory on its first
day of formal workouts Tues-
day.

Relegated to an arena in
nearby Verdun because of a
rock concert at the Forum,
players were forced to skate
through fog as warm temp-
eratures combined with the
cold ice surface to form a
thick condensation.

But the . fog eventually
lifted and brought some
bright developments for the
team which will represent
Canada in the Canada Cup, a
six-country international
hockey tournament that
begins Sept. 1.

“I'm really satisfied with
what I've seen this after-

Fletcher took Bowman's en-
thusiasm a step further.

By Will Grimsley

NEW YORK (AP) — Dave
Winfield doesn’t care about
being the ‘richest baseball
player in the world — he just
wants to be the best. The best
possible, that is, with the
skills at hand.

“I’m not one to think about
the first and 15th (paydays,)””
says the New York Yankees’
$24 million outfielder.
“That’s not why I go out
there. I go out there always to
do my best. ‘‘Take the All-
Star Game in Cleveland Sun-
day. I didn’t look at it as
entertainment. I wanted to
win. I was very unhappy when
we didn’t.””

Highest paid performer in
the majors, the 6-foot-6, 220
pound athlete is an enigma to
the skeptics who watch and
report the game. Why is he
always so charged up? Why
does he continually knock
himself out as would some
raw rookie struggling to make
the squad.?

Why is he so nice to kids
and fans? Why is he always so
readily available and amen-
able to reporters? Where are
the prima donna qualities,
arrogance and don’t-bother-

e often
with highly paid super stars?

“After the game the other
night, one of the newspaper
fellows around the locker told
me I was destroying the super
star image.’ Winfield said.
“1 didn’t know what he
meant. He said people who
get paid a lot of money and
publicity are usually targets
of critics.

“It never occurred to me. I
don’t do anything for image’s
sake. My aim only is to
represent myself, the team
and organization the best I
know how. If I do that, I don’t
need to make any apologies. I
can sleep at night.”’

CHASED HOMERS

In the seventh inning of the
All-Star Game, won by the
National League 5-4, Winfield
raced to the wall, leaped and
threw himself against the
barrier in an effort to snare
Gary Carter’s second home

An inning later, he made a
similar racing, wall-banging
effort to intercept Mike
Schmidt's blast that proved
the winning shot of the game.
These were the kind of hits
that most outfielders would

There was good news, too,
in that New York Islanders
centre Bryan Trottier, a
questionable performer
because of a shoulder injury
he suffered in the Stanley
Cup playoffs last May,
appeared ready to absorb the
hard knocks,

Denis Potvin, Trottier's
team-mate on the Islanders,
was the only member of the
365-man squad who did not
participate in the
scrimmages.

Unlike Pete Rose, who got
the one hit he needed to
break the all-time National
League hit record on the first
day after the baseball players
strike, Gaylord Perry still
needs five more victories to
reach the milestone he dearly
wants - 800 career pitching
victories.

His 6-1 decision over San
Diego Padres was probably
one of his easiest since he had
to go only the required five
innings, allowing five hits
and one run before leaving
the game with a 4-1 lead,

As if this weren't sufficient

Rangers.

In the second inning, the
Ranger’s Leon Roberts slash-
ed a hooking line drive that
could have gone for a double
or triple. Winfield made a
leaping backhand stab and
took a tumble, the ball
stashed away in his glove. In
the seventh, Buddy Bell
banged one of Tommy John’s
pitches to deep left. With
speed and perfect timing,
Winfield made a catch that
kept the ball out of the stands.

Winfield came to the Yan-

Savard retires

MONTREAL (CP)
Defenceman Serge Savard,
who trice overcame a broken
leg to help lead Montreal
Canadiens to eight Stanley
Cup triumphs in his 15-year
career, announced his retire-
ment from the National
Hockey League Club today.
Savard, 35, was named to
theNHL all-star team only
once, despite his consistently
fine play behind the Montreal
blueline.
He was the frequent victim of
fan displeasure as the Can-
adiens bowed in three
straight preliminary-round
playoff games against
Edmonton Oilers last April.
The public reaction hurt the
veteran and that, combined
with the realization that he
could no longer maintain his

Canadiens at the start of the
1979-80 season, collected 100
goals and°212 assists in a
career that was almost ended
in 1970 when he broke his leg
in two places in a game
against New York Rangers.
He fractured the same leg
next season.

Perhaps his career high-
light came in the 1969 Stanley
Cup playoffs when he won the
Conn Smythe Trophy,
awarded to the outstan ding
playoff performer. He also
won the Bill Masterton

1976.

MONTREAL (CP) - Mon-

behind his two-home-run per-

baseball all-star game
Sunday night.

“In both instances when I
hit the home runs, Warren

the first homer I stuck the

Spahn, the former Mil-

great, was an honorary cap-
tain of the National League
all-stars, who defeated their
American League counter-
parts 6-4.

And besides directing tra-
ffic from the coaching box for
a spell, Spahn provided
Carter with a lot of inspir-

Carter and outfielder
Andre Dawson were the first

all-star squad in fan balloting.
Carter has gained a few
admirers of his own since the
all-star performance.

“I took the phone off the
hook when I got home after
the all-star, game, but no
sooner had I put it back on
the hook then there must
have been 20 calls,” he said.

One of the calls Carter
received was from officials at
baseball's Hall' of Fame in

ing the bat that did the
damage.

“I can’t give it up because
that bat still has 2 lot of hits
in it,” said Carter jokingly.
The 27-year-old California
native plans to send the bat
to the baseball shrine but for
old times’ sake he used it
Monday night to deliver a
run-scoring double that
helped to sink Pittsburgh

Evacuate

By Ian Stewart

SWAN HILLS, ALTA. (CP)
— The almost-empty town of
Swan Hills, Alta. is still out of
immingnt danger from a
12,000-hectare (30,000 acres)
forest fire about 12 kilometres
to the northwest, Alberta
Forest Service spokesman
Howard Pratley said today.

The size of the fire grew
more than 10,000 acres after a
mapping crew found a new
edge of the. blaze Tuesday
night, Pratley said. .

Firefighters got a break
Tuesday when the wind shift-
ed to the southeast blowing)
the fire away from the town.
But a new weather system
which moved in overnight,
accompanied by lightning and
some rain, has caused the
wind, gusting to 25 to 30 kilo-
metres an hour, to change
direction again to the north,

The fire was still north of

the Swan River.

Pratley said that should the
fire cross the river, officials
would have half a day to cva-
cuate the S00 persons re-
maining in the town of 2,500.

“'We don’t know that the
fire will come into the town,’’
he said.

‘*As a matter of fact. in all
likelihood, it won't. There’s
no timber in town that it’s
going to burn.

The north end of Swan
Hills, 180 kilometres north-
west of Edmonton, is mostly
residential and there is not
imber in the area.

Between Swan River and
the town there are a number
of roads the fire would have to
cross, as well as a fire guard

around the northern edge of
the town.

“PCBs leaching out”

RICHMOND B.C. (CP) -
High levels of dangerous
‘poly- chlorinated biphenyls
measured in a canal system
in Richmond indicate that
highly-toxic substances are
leaching out of. a landfill
garbage dump, a federal bio-
logist warned Tuesday.

The dump is run by
Richmond Landfill Ltd. on a
profit-sharing basis for the
Fraser River Harbor
Commission, on land owned
by the commission and
bordered by farms, private

homes, and plant nurseries.

Six samples of dirt from
leachate streams from the
dump into irrigation ditches,

as well as a few fish, were _

collected May 10 and teste
PCB'S levels are high
enough to provoke concerns
about the levels found in fish,
said Otto Langer, senior bio-
logist' with the federal En-
vironment Protection
Service, which paid for five of
the tests.
PCBs are linked to cancer
and birth defects.
