(AP) — The editors at Mer. riam Webster dictionaries are keeping a close eye on the idential ign, but “I can’t think of any new words Ronald Reagan has contributed to the language. In fact, his whole admin- Pp they haven't spotted any sure winners yet. What they are searching for are not new faces or new ideas, but new words. “American politics has, from its earliest time, been a great contributor to the voc abulary of English,” said Dr Frederick Mish, editor-in chief of Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary. “From the days of caucus, miagwump and gerrymander through those of suffragette, New Deal and whistlestop right down to dirty tricks, powerbroker and limousine liberal, politics has been changing continually and pro- ducing new terms to reflect those changes,” Mish said. But the linguistic pickings have been slim since the live- ly. 1970s, when presidential seandal contributed Water. gate, smoking gun and dirty tricks to the 1983 edition of the dictionary NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT THE MAT been rather dull,” James Lowe, senior editor, said at the dictionary company’s Springfield head quarters. “But we still have 2'2 months of the campaign to go,” he said. Despite the attempts of some politicians to keep news organizations from broad- casting the results of inter- views with voters leaving the polls, exit poll may be one of the few new terms with enough staying power to be accepted into the dictionary, Lowe said. According to Merriam’s files, which track the use of new terms in newspapers, magazines and other contem- porary writing, exit poll first came into popular use in 1960 after West Coast television viewers learned before their polls closed that Reagan was a vietor over Jimmy Carter. It hadn't built up enough citations to make the 9,000 New Words addendum to Merriam’s unabridged dic- tionary in 1981, but “it has a good chance of making the next addendum” to be pub- lished in 1986, Lowe said. “Unless the practice is ban- ned and it drops out of use.” School District No. 9 (Castlegar) CHOOL OPENING A.

In Sunday's final, Castle- gar Vikings were without three regular starters through injuries the semifinal — fullback John Willshear and forwards Ray Selee. and Joe Antignani Nelson suffered minor bruis- es against the Rovers but all’ 14 players were available for action. Castlegar opened the scor- ing at the nine-minute mark as winger George Da Costa ran into a loose ballin the penalty area and beat Bruce Underwood with a hard shot from 10 yards out. Nelson tied the score at the 37-minute mark from an in- direct free kick 20 yards out. Paul Kelly passed the ball off to Ian McAdams, whose ini- tial shot rebounded to him.

Caatews Photo Lloyd breezes by Walsh NEW YORK (AP) — If she gets to the final of the U.S. Open tennis championships, Chris Evert Lloyd would love to face Martina Navratilova. “I think a victory here would be sweeter if I beat Martina, obviously,” Lloyd, the No. 2 women’s seed said Tuesday night after breezing past fellow American Sharon Walsh 6-0, 6-0 in a 41-minute opening-round match. Navratilova, the defending champion and No. 1 seed, re- sumed her pursuit of Lloyd's streak of 56 consecutive match victories today with an opening-round match against Lea Antonopolis. Navratil ova, who came within two of the streak before losing early this year to Hana Mandlikova of Ci akia, took a streak of 48 match victories into this tournament. The two top men's seeds, John McEnroe and Ivan Len- dl of Czechoslovakia, also play their opening-round matches today, McEnroe fa cing Colin Dowdeswell of South Africa and Lend! play ing Brihn Teacher. Defending champion Jimmy Connors, the No. 3 seed, plays tonight against Matt Mitchell “As mueh as I would love to win the U.S. Open, and I'd have a better shot if Martina was out of the tournament, I think it'd be a great thing for my career right now if I did beat Martina,” said Licyd. “I probably would want to meet her in the finals because at that point, if I reached it and she did, we'd both be playing well.” Lloyd has lost 12 conse- cutive matches to Navratil ova, including last year’s final here and this year’s final at Wimbledon. UNDERDOG ROLE “I think it's a matter of confidence,” said Lloyd. “I'm an underdog now. “I haven't been that many times in my career. I've al ways been favored. I've al- ways had confidence. Now, when I'm down against Mar. tina, I have to watch that I don’t get too discouraged, and when I get ahead, I can't get too nervous about it.” The first seeds to bow out were two women — No. 6 Manuela Maleeva of Bulgar ia, beaten 61, 7-7, 7-8 by Petra Delhees of Switzer. land; and No. 10 Jo Durie of Britain, a 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 loser to Australian Anne Minter Mandlikova, the No. 3 seed, was a 61, 46, 62 winner over Pat Medrado of Brazil; No. 7 Zina Garrison easily beat Sabrina Goles of Yugoslavia 6-2, 64; No. 14 Carling Bassett of Toronto swept Elizabeth Sayers of Australia 6-4, 6-2; and 16th seed Andrea Temesvari of Hungary beat South African Rosalyn Fairbank 7-46, 246, 63.

In 19 mounts. she chalked up four wins, five seconds and a third. Ironically, she won ber first race Aug. 11 on the same horse, Modern Scene, that threw here off Monday night. The B.C. Racing Commis sion, was to review video tapes of the race today to find Chicago Cubs widen margin in East By The Associated Press The National League, with a long history of thrilling pennant races, doesn't have much to offer these days with San Diego Padres holding a huge lead in the West and Chicago Cubs widening their margin in the East. The Padres lead second-place Houston by nine games, and the Cubs, who swept a double-header Tuesday from Cincinnati, lead New York Mets by 5*4 and Philadelphia Phillies by six. Boring, you say? Perhaps. But Chicago's Gary Matthews is revelling in the turnabout that hit the Windy City, where playing score- board has seldom been necessary considering the team’s 39-year pennant drought. It still isn't, but for an alto, gether different reason. “We don’t have to check the standings every day,” Matthews said after the Cubs swept Cincinnati by identical 5-2 scores. “We just have to go out and win. “The sweep makes the Phillies and the Mets play that much harder.” And both did just that. Philadelphia whipped San Diego 11-8 and New York took Los Angeles 5-1. ROSE A BELIEVER Among those who believe the Cubs are the class of the East is a man who knows, Cincinnati player-manager Pete Rose, “T've said all season that the NL East is the best division in baseball,” said Rose. “The Cubs are in front, and that tells you something about their team.” Chicago won for the eighth time in 10 games with a well-rested Keith Moreland leading the way with a 5-for-8 performance. Elsewhere, it was: San Francisco 3, Montreal 2; St. Louis 5, AtjJanta 3 in 10 innings; and Houston 3, Pitts- burgh 2 In the American League, New York’s Dale Murray came on with a runner on second, two out and a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 12th inning Tuesday night. Four Oakland batters then hit a collective 1.000 against the Yankee reliever, and the A's were suddenly 4-3 winners. Rickey Henderson doubled and it was 32. Carney Lansford singled and it was 3-3. Bruce Bochte singled and it was first and second. Then Dave Kingman singled and it was over. "Kingman gilned his American League-leading 108th RBI as the A's snapped a nine-game losing streak. In other AL games, Cleveland eliminated Milwau kee, 85, Detroit edged Seattle 5-4, California topped Baltimore 4-2, Texas blanked Kansas City 6-0 and Toronto beat Chicago 7-6. ‘The Cubs wasted no time in either same against the Reds, scoring four runs in the first inning of the opener and three to start the nightcap. Moreland's three-run homer capped the first inning of the opener. Ryne Sandberg hit his 17th homer with Thad Bosley, Moreland and Ron Cey hitting consecutive doubles. Ron Qester hit a solo homer for the Reds in the nightcap. Dennis Eckersley, 8-7, and Dick Ruthven, 4-9, were the winning pitchers GIANTS 3 EXPOS 2 San Franciso's Bob Brenly belted his 18th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the first inning, to lead the Giants past Montreal. Chili Davis started the rally with a single and scored on a double by Jeff Leonard. Brenly, hitting .419 in his previous 31 at-bats, hit a 2-0 pitch from Smith, 9-11, into the left-field seats. METS 5 DODGERS 1 Mookie Wilson hit a tworun homer and Hubie Brooks added a two-run triple to lead New York over Los Angeles. In his last 19 games, Wilson, who connected off Rick Honeycutt, 10-8, is batting 811 and bas scored 15 runs. Dave Anderson homered off Walt Terrell, 10-10, for the only Dodger run. PHILLIES 11 PADRES 8 Sixto Lezcano and Al Oliver had two hits apiece and Lezcano drove in two runs in a seven-run second inning to lead Philadelphia over San Diego. The Phillies sent 12 batters to the plate in the inning against Andry Hawkins, 7-7. Shane Rawley, 7-3, worked six innings to get the victory. Al Holland ¢ollected his 28th save. ASTROS 3 PIRATES 2 Terry Puhl's squeeze bunt, following a two-run single by Jerry Mumphrey in the bottom of the eighth inning, scored Jose Cruz with the winning run as Houston edged Pittsburgh. John Tudor, 8-9, took a 2-0 lead into the eighth, but singles by Bill Doran and Phil Garner and a walk to Cruz loaded the based for Mumphrey, who lined his game-tying hit to centre. Puhl followed with his bunt against reliever Rod Scurry. CARDINALS 5 BRAVES 3 A bases-loaded triple by Darrell Porter in the 10th inning broke a 2-2 tie and gave St. Lauia and Bruce Sutter, 5-4, a victory over Atlanta. 7 George Hendrick started the winning rally with a single. Pinch hitter Steve Braun reached reliever Gene Garber, 2-3, for a single before David Green beat out an infield hit against Donnie Moore to load the bases. Porter cleared them with his shot to left-centre. CHICAGO WHITE SOX Pennant hopes dwindle TORONTO (CP) — There's still a faint light at the end of the tunnel for Chicago White Sox, but it might only be the glare of a long and snowy winter without the warmth of a pennant. Unlike Toronto Blue Jays, who have at least been win ning most of their games while trying to catch Detroit Tigers, the White Sox appear incapable of putting together winning streak that would catapult them to the top of baseball's American League West. Their’ 11-inming, 76 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday night was a typical example, said eateher Cariton Fisk, of the White Sox’ inability to land a knockout punch after staggering their opponent. - materialize Twesday night The Key out that didn't his 12th home run of the sea- son and a 66 game.

(Cruz's two-run, fourth-inn , his fifth of the George Bell had just de- livered a run-scoring infield hit, deep in the hole behind second base, that had scored Lloyd Moseby and clipped Chicago's lead te two runs. Toronto manager Bobby Cox then called on right handed hitting Jesse Barfield to pinch hit and Chicago manager Tony LaRussa coun- tered with right-hander Bert Roberge — the third of four Chicago pitchers used in the me. Barfield, hitting at a 222 clip in his last 10 games, greeted Roberge with a towering drive that barely cleared the left-field fence for 11th, when Tony Fernandes swatted a one-out single off Ron Reed, 0-5, to right and Damaso Garcia followed with a double off the left-field wall that brought the winning run Outfielder Ron Kittle, shaded towards the foul line to prevent an extra-base hit into the corner, seemed to hegitate when Garcia made contact and his last-ditch leap fruitless. The Jays took a 1-0 lead in the first on Bell's run-scoring single to left, but the White Sox retaliated with three runs in the second on RBI singles by Roy Smalley and Golfers tied for lead MONCTON, NB.
