Suteliffe, 15-8, gave up a one-out single to Andy Van Slyke in the eighth. After walking Bobby Bonilla, Sutcliffe was relieved by Frank DiPino. Pinch-hitter Mike Diaz singled to left to score the tie-breaking run, and R.J. Reynolds followed with another RBI single off DiPino. “I told him (Lucchesi) that I honestly felt I could get (Sid) Bream (the next batter) on a groundball out and’do the same against Reynolds, but he told me I was through,” Suteliffe said.

The Lions have searched all season for a replacement for Mervyn Fernandez, who played out his option in 1986 Angeles Raiders of the - tional Football League. Williams, who claims to have run 100 metres in 10.1 seconds, becomes the fourth wide receiver’to play this year opposite Jim Sandusky, who leads the 6-3 Lions with 49 receptions for 874 yards and four touchdowns. B.C. also has released Ned Armour and Kevin Bowman since the CFL season began in late June. Williams, 26, has three years of NFL experience and caught 24 passes for 471 yards and two touchdowns three years ago with the New released by the NFL In- dianapolis Colts. Head coach Don Matthews of the Lions said Tuesday the new receiver “offers us world-class speed. He may be the fastest receiver we've ever had. “We need to establish an offence away from Sandusky to widen out the field,” said Matthews. “Williams has looked like a polished re- ceiver in practice and seems to understand defences.” Williams was recom mended to the Lions by agent Steve Endicott of Dallas, Tex., a former coaching Players Association sets strike date WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Football not wanting to bargain face- to-face.

Asked if the strike dead- line was etched in stone, Up- shaw said, “At this point the date is there, but everything is negotiable.” The players struck after the second week of the 1982 season and stayed out 57 days, costing seven games in the 16-game regular season. The walkout deadline was set Aug. 31 following a meet- ing of the NFLPA executive board, but union officials de- cided to delay making the date public until it could meet After reading the outline Monday, Upshaw called it “garbage” and predicted it would do little to deter the union from proceeding with its plan to set a strike dead- line. The league's owners are scheduled to meet Thursday in the Chicago area to discuss the progress of the talks with jack Donlan, executive di- rector of the Management Council.

Leafs get Semenko TORONTO (CP) — The Toronto Maple Leafs have obtained rugged left winger Dave Semenko from the Hartford Whalers in an RED SOX THUMP YANKEES By The Canadian Press Todd Benzinger's three-run homer gave Boston the lead for good. A homer Mike Easler didn’t get on a disputed call may have kept New York from taking the lead away. Benzinger’s fourth-inning homer put the Red Sox ahead 4-1, and they went on to an 86 victory over the Yankees in an American League baseball game that was delayed twice by rain for a total of nearly three hours and ended early today. With two runners on and New York trailing 8-1 in the top of the eighth inning, Easler hit a drive down the right-field line into the stands, First-base umpire Larry McCoy ruled the ball was foul. New York manager Lou Piniella was ejected for arguing. “First, they wait two hours to decide to play on an unplayable field in a pennant race,” Piniella said of the officials. “Then they miss a home run call which I clearly saw from the dugout was fair.” ADDS FOUR RUNS Easler eventually singled and the inning ended with Boston leading 8-2. The Yankees added four runs in the ninth, which would have tied the game had Easler's shot been called fair. New York remained in third place in the East Division, five games behind the leading Toronto Blue Jays, who lost 6-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Detroit Tigers, whose game at Baltimore against the Orioles was rained out. In other AL games, it was Seattle Mariners 7 Cleveland Indians 0, Chicago White Sox 4 Minnesota Twins 3, Texas Rangers 12 Oakland Athletics 1, and Kansas City Royals 4 California Angels 2. White Sox 4 Twins 3 Gary, Redus broke out of a three-game slump with. three hits, including a two-run homer, for Chicago as West Division-leading Minnesota lost its 23rd game in 71 home appearances. Mariners 7 Indians 0 Domingo Ramos and Jim Presley homered for Seattle. Ramos had four of Seattle's 15 hits, including a two-run homer, to help Mike Morgan lift his record to 11-15. Morgan allowed seven hits, struck out two and walked three while tossing his seventh complete game and second shutout of the season. Royals 4 Angels 2 George Brett hit a two-run homer and singled home a tiebreaking run for Kansas City. Mark Gubicza, 10-16, pitched four-hit ball for 62-3 innings and overcame seven walks to post his first victory since Aug. 2, snapping a six-game losing streak. 12 Athletics 1 Larry parrish hit two homers and drove in five runs for Texas to back a three-hitter by Charlie Hough, 15-11. Geno Petralli was charged with four passed balls, giving the Texas catcher 81 for the season. The Rangers increased their major league record for passed balls to 66 — with 58 coming while Hough was pitching. Petralli's total is two short of the modern major league record set by J.C.

Picking their way along the dimly lit tunnel, the p of a dozen or so tourists are careful not to stumble over the half-buried tracks once used by mining carts hauling gold ore to the surface. About 45 minutes later they return to the surface, looking relieved to doff borrowed hard hats and shed coats in the warm summer air. It’s probably as close as the visitors will come to experiencing what miners felt decades ago when they spent up to 10 hours a day in the rich LeRoi gold mine. ICH TODO The mine tour is one of the little nuggets in an area of the British Columbia Interior often overlooked by tourists. The West Kootenay region — which takes in Rossland, nearby Trail and a number of other small communities — also has its share of mountain vistas, with plenty of opportunities for hiking and fishing as well as golf and, in winter, skiing. The LeRoi gold mine is about four kilometres south of Rossland on the way to the U.S. border. The guided tour is a bargain at $3 for adults, and includes a visit to the adjacent museum which chronicles the history of Rossland. The mountain town sprang up almost overnight after the discovery of gold on Red Mountain in the 1890s. It quickly grew to more than 7,000 people and had its own stock exchange, five banks, three breweries and 42 saloons. The five mines, of which LeRoi was the richest, pro- duced more than $1 billion worth of gold. Mining petered out in the 1930s, but not before Red Mountain was honeycombed with more than 100 kilometres of tunnels reaching more than 400 metres underground. LeRoi is the only genuine hard rock mine in Canada that is open to tourists. DOWN 100 METRES Groups are esccz
