By BERT 1 — Where does the Boston Marathon go Does it remain a bastion of amateurism, as it has for the last 88 years? Or does it go with the current trend, of offering prize money, giving it the tint of professionalism? There are strong opinions on both sides. The decision could rest with the Boston Athletic Association, which currently organizes the tradition-steep- ed, annual Patriot's Day race from suburban Hopkinton to the centre of Andre Viger, 31, of Sherbrooke, Que., won the men's pays prize, appearance and table — and has been televised natiot wheelchair division in 2:06:20. The athletic association is scheduled to meet later this month and elect & new board of governors. At' that time, it diy will discuss the future of the race. Boston. Or it could rest with the h pI Court, scheduled to decide shortly the legality of a contract former race director Will Cloney signed with Boston lawyer Marshall Medoff in 1982. That contract, if found to be legal, would give control of the race to Medoff, who is in favor of commercialization. The athletic association is strongly opposed to such a move. Whichever direction it goes, this year's Boston Marathon probably will be best remembered for the over- whelming victories by Geoff Smith of Britain and Lorraine Moller of New Zealand. Smith was the overall winner Monday in two hours 10 minutes 34 seconds — more than four minutes ahead of runner-up Gerry Vanasse of New Milford, Conn. AIR CANADA CUP MIGHT RESIGN At present, there is speculation Tim Kilduff, a member of the board and the race director, will resign. Asked before Monday’s race whether that was true, Kilduff said: “Let's see what happens at this race. Then we'll take a good, hard look at it (the situation) next week.” “The race was on its knees two years ago,” he added, referring to the controversy surrounding the contract with Medoff. “Now, it's erect.” Tt might be erect, but how much longer it will remain in that position is debatable. It has been struggling somewhat in recent years, attracting elite runners more on its prestige, ‘tionally. The Boston race did not attract many of the top runners Monday, and the field would have been ever’ more depleted if some foreign runners, such 98 Smith-and Moller, had not needed to compete to impress their Olympie selectors.

Yet, Hawkins said, all four of those players are eligible to return to action next month while Howe, the Dod- gers’ relief ace, has never been arrested and yet isn't eligible to play until next season, at the earliest. CRIED FOR HELP “Steve Howe has cried out for help consistently and ig- nored the hunfiliation heaped upon him because his desire to get well is so intense,” Hawkins said. “Few people would ever subject them- selves voluntarily as Steve has.” Hawkins said he was in- formed Tuesday that Howe's arbitration hearing, which had been scheduled next week, has been postponed until May 15. “We don’t understand why, when Steve's grievance was the earliest filed, that it's the latest to be heard,” Haw- kins said. “And why now it has been deferred again when we have been pressing for an early review of Steve's suspension, which amounts to an indef- inite suspension with vague and ambiguous terms for reinstatement.” Howe, 26,-was suspended for the 1984 season by Kuhn last December after contin- ued drug use during and af- ter the 1983 campaign. How- ever, said Hawkins, the pit- cher has been successful in recent months in rehabilitat- ing himself. “I know what I'm doing,” Johnson said in defence of the move. “We don't have a lot of goal scorers. We've got four 80-goal scorers. One (Kent Nilsson) is upstairs watching. One (Hakan Loob) is a rookie. The other two (Lanny McDonald and Eddy Beers) haven't been scoring. I needed Reinhart up front to get those two going.” NILSSON MISSED The loss of Nilsson — he broke his ankle the last week of the regular season — has hurt. Although Calgarians say Nilsson is a Magic Man during the season who does a disap- pearing act in the playoffs, his absence has defused the Flames power play. Calgary has scored only two power-play goals and are / 0-10 in the last two games. They failed to get a shot on net on three power plays Monday. “The power play, obviously, is the key,” said Beers. “We're not: scoring on it. The way it’s been going, we're going to redefine the word anemic.” The power play has been one of the keys to the ) Edmonton victories. Monday, the Oilers scored one goal short-handed and two on the power play. At even strength the Flames have also suffered from a lack of scoring although they have created more good chances than the Oilers. About half those chances have been negated by the play of Edmonton goalie Grant Fuhr. The others have been squandered by Calgary's erratic shooting. PLAN BACKFIRED In his efforts to produce more goals Johnson has con- stantly shuffled his lineup. It worked in Game 2, giving Calgary a victory. It backfired in Game 4. Edmonton coach Glen Sather has made more subtle changes but two of his more visible ones have been successful. He played rookie Raimo Summanen early in the playoffs and it worked. He went back to veteran Jozoslav Pouzar in Game 8 and he scored the winning goal. Monday, he moved Willy Lindstrom to the line with Makk Messier and Glenn Anderson who had been struggling. The line skated with renewed vigor and produced two goals and six points. Neither Johnson nor Sather gave any clues as to what they plan for tonight.

Why? Because even then the current energy minister and Liberal leadership hopeful realized the importance of image. His slightly dishevelled appearance, which would have raised eyebrows in an urban setting, endeared him to the voters in rural Quebec who have been sending him to Ottawa ever since. Chretien ruled out having the jacket repaired because it looked “just right,” says Andre Grenier, who managed Chretien in the last two federal elections. The offending button wasn't replaced until after the election. That image of just being “one of the boys” is Chretien’s greatest strength, says Montreal public relations consultant Jack Mitchell. “He's the kind of guy who would appear in a Molson’s ad with three or four other fellows who are always doing things together,” says the presi of Mitchell A i “He's one of us. He's natural. He has sincerity. That's really & great strength as far as relating to people is concerned.” Of the six men vying for the Liberal leadership, Chretien comes closest to projecting an image that suits him, says Barry McLoughlin, an independent Ottawa media consultant. “He projects sincerity, honesty, passion and courage,” McLoughlin said in an interview. “I think the passion thing for Jean Chretien is his biggest plus and it’s the one single factor that is missing among all the other candidates with the exception of (Indian Affairs Minister) John Munro.” McLoughlin says the inability or unwillingness to show passion is the greatest problem among politicians in general. “People want to feel that you care strongly for something, that you feel something. “Most of the other candidates are not projecting any kind of feelings. It's like a group of accountants up there.” Toronto lawyer John Turner, currently lauded as the front runner, is the best example of this, McLoughlin says. “His whole background, certainly his experience in the boardrooms, has taught him not to show his feelings.” McLoughlin says Turner, like many lawyers, has been trained not to reveal his weaknesses by giving in to passion. Pat Adams, president of the Toronto media consulting firm Tricom Ltd., says Turner has a “movie-star quality” but his media presence is cold because of his steely eyes and tight body language. “He doesn’t have the flair or ease with his body that Jean Chretien has.” ~ MOSCOW (REUTER) — | President Reagan is a stooge of the U.S. arms industry and ‘was put into the White House to increase its profits, the of. ficial Soviet news agency said Tuesday.
