Canadian curlers scout other competing squads By IAN MacLAINE Canadian Press LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Winning doesn’t come naturally for n curling champ- “We read the stats and scout the next team we're going to play,” Ryan said Tuesday night after logging his fourth straight win at the men's world curling championship, 6-2 over David Smith of Scotland. Germany, 8-4; and Christophe Boan of France downed Gert Larsen of Den mark, 9-3. Earlier, Denmark tested Canada before falling 8-4 when the Canadians scored four in the eighth end. In other afternoon matches, Norway downed Finland 6-3, Scotland took Switzerland 7-2, France beat the U.S. 7-2, and Sweden romped 8-2 over West Ger- many. The win for Ryan was his 20th Ryan has impressed the with his ability to switch styles, depending on situations that develop through the game. Against the Scots, he won the toss and kept them in check until he cracked a deuce in the fifth for a 3-1 lead, surrendered a single in the sixth and then put up another pair in the eighth. “It’s only going to work to your benefit,” Ryan said of the merit of statisties and winning the toss to gain last-rock advantage. “It always has. “At the Brier (the Canadian championship) the statistics are very specific and you can pinpoint weak nesses in the other players. We take advantage of anything we can.” Pre-tournament favorite Eigil Ramsfjell of Norway, the Olympic gold medallist and two-time world champ- ion, kept pace with the Canadians, scrambling to a 6-5 win over Soren Grahn of Sweden. LOSES GROUND The results saw Scotland slip to 3-1 along with Switzerland followed by France, 2-2. Four teams — Denmark, Finland, Sweden and West Germany — were at 1-3 while the United States trailed at 0-4. In other fourth-round play Tues- day night in the 10-team competition, Finland won its first ever game at the men's championship when Jussi Uusi- paavalniemi outstripped American Doug Jones, 8-4; David Model of Swit- zerland beat Rainer Schopp of West straight in pi ial, Canadian and world playoff games. He confessed that with his limited international experience “it was like I was playing four strangers out there.” Ryan, trying to defend the title Canadian teams have won the last three years, will face Norway, his keenest opposition, in the sixth draw tonight. The Edmonton accountant, whose string of successes over the years has been marked by a mixture of deft come-around play and hitting, said he expected a much stronger hitting game this week from the Scots. “I had heard they were a good hitting team, but I also heard that so far this week they hadn't really been rifling them down there,” he said “Against us they tended to be more of a hitting team than anything else. “But they did try to come after us, try to go around guards. The ice is nice for those comearounds. You have to do it, especially when you lose the toss and you're two down.” Canadian third Randy Ferby set up a key deuce in the fifth end when he buried around a short centre guard that the Scots were never able to manoeuvre around. Castlegar hockey players make grade By CasNews Staff Three Castlegar minor hockey league players have been selected to play on the Kootenay zone team in the B.C.

The Canadian Press It's often been said that all good things come to those who wait. But the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and St Louis Blues have discovered that a lot of waiting comes to those who do good. These three teams earned a week's rest after wrapping up their seven National Hockey League first-round series 4-1 Tuesday night. “We deserved to win the game, and we deserved to win the series,” said rookie St. Louis sniper Brett Hull, who scored two goals — including his third winner of the playoffs — as the Blues def d the Chicago Blackh 5-3 in a Norris Division semifinal. M . the def Stanley Cup Oilers will once again meet the Flames in the Smythe Division final, which begins next Tuesday, Edmonton beat Winnipeg Jets 6-2 and Calgary took Los Angeles Kings 6-4. “We're (Flames) not even thinking about the Oilers, (but) give me a couple of days off and I'll be ready,” said Calgary star centre Hakan Loob, who scored twice.

Pay cut for Konar By GRANT KERR Canadian Press VANCOUVER — Veteran line backer Kevin Konar agreed to a reduced contract Tuesday with the B.C. Lions and immediately challenged teammates to follow suit in the wake of team salary caps in the Canadian Foot ball League. Konar said he, like most CFL players, had no hope of playing in the Natjonal Football League and it was time to make a commitment to the Lions. “T realize the situation — the Lions don't have a lot of money to throw around,” Konar said after a news con ference. “I want to play football and it was just a question of seeing how I'd fit into their plans. “I'm still making a good income and I'm happy with that.” CFL teams will operate with a $3 million cap in 1988 which includes player salaries, coaching costs and training camp expenses. Many players one-year agreement with the standard option clause. Konar, 29, has played eight seasons with the Lions since gradu ating with a degree in business management from the University of B.C. He hopes teammates will not hold out during training camp while at tempting to negotiate new deals. The Lions also announced the signing of holdover running backs Anthony Parker of Memphis State and Freddie Sims of Oklahoma, both imports, along with several prospects. CHANGES SITE The newcomers are import defen sive tackle Fletcher Jenkins of the University of Washington, import line backer Jeff Braswell of Iowa State, Canadian linebacker Ken Ciancone of Utah State, Canadian offensive offen sive lineman Blake Nill of the Uni versity of Calgary, Canadian defensive tackle Warren Robinson of York Uni versity and Canadian wide receiver Andrew Murray of Carleton. several years in the southern B.C Interior at Kelowna Konar, an all-Canadian selection in 1987, indicated his choice was being a B.C. player again or moving into another profession “In good times you want to share {in profits) and in bad times you've got to bite the bullet,” Konar said. “I hope our guys see it this way.” Konar said he would like to assume some of the leadership duties on the B.C. defence after the retire. ment of veteran defensive backs Nelson Martin and Mel Byrd The Lions finished first in the West last year, but lost in the divisional final to the Edmonton Eskimos. Defensive back Larry Crawford the Lions’ all-time interception leader and punt return yardage leader, is one player having difficulty coming to grips with the salary cuts. Crawford has asked to be traded, have been asked to take salary cuts of about 30 per cent, although Konar would not disclose the terms of his new The Lions said they will train this year at the University of B.C. in Vancouver, beginning June 16, after although he admitted “the money they're offering isn’t bad for six months work.” Cincinnati edges Giants The Canadian Press When Cincinnati Reds rookie Chris Sabo went into the game as a pinch-runner, everyone knew he was going to run. He did just that, scoring the Reds’ winning run as Cin. cinnati edged the San Francisco Giants 4-3 in National League baseball action Tuesday night Sabo ran for Buddy Bell, who led off the ninth inning with @ single off loser Scott Garrelts, 0-1. “When he went out there, I told him, ‘If they give you third, don’t be afraid to take it; you're on your own,” Cincinnati manager Pete Rose said. “He's not shy.” Sabo stole second after Bo Diaz tried to sacrifice and struck out. Then Sabo stole third. “That pitcher looked pretty good, and it's a lot easier to score from third than from second,” Sabo said. After Dave Collins, pinch-hitting for winning pitcher Danny Jackson, 2-0, walked, Dave Larkin flied to right and Sabo easily beat Candy Maldonado's throw to the plate. “Speed is great to have when you play a lot of one-run games,” Rose said. “I hope we don't have too many games like this. “When we're leading 3-0 in the eighth, our bullpen should hold it for us.” Cincinnati led 3-0 and Jackson had limited the Giants to just four singles before the eighth inning. But with one out Jose Uribe walked. Chris Speier scored him with a double to right-centre and Kevin Mitchell hit his third homer of the season one out later. The three-run rally broke a 20-inning scoreless stretch for the Giants, who were shut out on four hits by the Reds’ Mario Soto on Monday night Elsewhere in the National League on Tuesday, it was New York Mets 3, Montreal Expos 0; Houston Astros 8, Atlanta Braves 3; St. Louis Cardinals 7, Chicago Cubs 5; and San Diego Padres 5, Los Angeles Dodgers 3.
