UMPIRE EJECTED FOR LIFE

MATHER, MAN. (CP) — A
second base umpire in this small
Manitoba community has been
called out for life after admitting
to helping his hometown favor-
ites.

Terry Edkins has been handed
a lifetime suspension from the
Border League for flashing the
catchers’ signals used by the
Mather Mudhens to the team
from Clearwater, Man., where
he lives.

The incident occurred during
a May 20 match between the two
towns which are about 20 kilom-

etres north of the Canada-
United States border.

“It's the biggest scandal prob-
ably in the history of our
league,” said’ Wilf Clayton, presi-
dent of the league.

“It's an incident that will be
brought up 10, 15, 20 years
from now.”

Bruce Potter, homeplate um.
pire during the game, said he
believed Edkins was cheating by
putting his hand in his pocket
when the Mather catcher called
for a curve ball.

Clayton said the
was uncovered as a result of
comments made later by Edkins
at @ party.

The intermediate-level league
has also suspended the batter
for a year. Clearwater iter manager
Harold Orr and three of his
players face a five-game suspen-
sion.

The suspended umpire, now
on a fishing trip, could not be
reached for comment.

Clearwater won the game 8-2

rarded

but the league
to Mudhens.

SECRETARIAT'S SON

Star takes Belmont

NEW YORK (AP) — Risen Star, a
son of Secretariat, ran away with the
$506,200 Belmont Stakes Saturday,
15 years after his sire won the race to
become a Triple Crown champion.

Winning Colors, the filly who won
the Kentucky Derby, finished last in
a field of six three-year-olds and was
struggling as she came under the
wire.

The 14%-length victory by Risen
Star over Kingpost made him
the 14th horse to complete a Preak
ness-Belmont double. He finished
third in the Derby.

Brian's Time finished third, two
lengths behind Kingpost and 11%
lengths in front of Cefis. Granacus
finished fifth and the filly was last.

Risen Star suffered a minor foot
injury May 28 and trainer Louie
Roussel said there was a slight
swelling above his right front ankle
Saturday morning. But he certainly
was magnificent Saturday afternoon.

His winning margin was the
fourth-largest in the 120 years of the
Belmont. Secretariat won the 1973
Belmont by 31 lengths, Count Fleet
by 25 in 1943 and Man 0’ War by 20
in 1920.

FAST TIME

Riddén by. Eddie Delahoussaye,
Risen Star completed the 1‘ miles in
2:26 2-5. It was the second-fastest
Belmont ever, topped only by the
American-record 2:24 raced by Sec-
retariat.

It had to be a bitterly disap-
pointing end to the Triple Crown for
D. Wayne Lukas, who trains Win-
ning Colors. She scored a front-run-
ning victory in the Derby and then
after dueling for the lead with Forty
Niner, finished third in the Preak-
ness.

Winning Colors went off the
second choice in the Belmont and she
was in the lead for three-quarters of
a mile before fading from contention.

races

“It's a great feeling,” said Del-
ahoussaye after picking up his first
Belmont victory to go with his two
Derby victories. “It’s great to win
the Belmont. Louie Roussel did a hell
of a job.”

Said Gary Stevens, who rode the
filly: “She just didn't run her race.
She just didn't fire. I have no
excuses, She's still a tremendous filly
in my book.”

Winning Colors, who carried 121
pounds to 126 for each of her male
rivals, broke on top as expected.
Risen Star went right after her, as
expected. The filly led Risen Star and
Kingpost around the clubhouse turn
and into \the backstretch, where
there was lone mile remaining.

TORONTO — Silvestre Cam-

the 10th inning Saturday to give the
Toronto Blue Jays a 4-3 come-from
behind win, their sixth straight over

the Boston Red Sox this season.
Fred McGriff led off the 10th with
a single but was forced at second on

Molson
inks new
NHL deal

MONTREAL (CP) — Molson
Breweries of Canada Ltd., which ob-
tained exclusive rights for national
'TV- broadcasting of National Hockey
League games for the next six years,
hopes to announce within two weeks
which networks will carry the games
next season.

At a news conference Friday,
Roger Samson, the vice-president of
sports and entertainment marketing
for Molson, confirmed an earlier an-
nouncement that the brewery had
reached an agreement with the NHL
on a package covering hockey tele-
casting in Canada, including cable.
Financial terms of the deal were not

because Molson said it

447 average. Gary Fleming of
Checkers has to second in
league hitting-with 16 hits in 36 tries
for a .444 average. Teammates Clay
Liber and Terry Taranoff are in third
and fourth place in the hitting stand-
ings with Kent Smith of Tudor
Sports rounding out the top five.

Eli Soukeroff of Checkers is still
the league's leading pitcher with 11
wins and one loss. Pete Evdokimoff
of Labatt’s is second in the pitching
standings with seven wins and two
losses.

Jim Nazaroff laid down a suicide
squeeze bunt in the top of the eighth
inning to bring home the winning run
for Checkers in a close 5-4 decision
over Hi Arrow earlier this week. The
play, in the first extra-inning,
brought home Terry Taranoff who
tripled just before Nazaroff.

Eli Soukeroff took the win for
Checkers on the mound and Phil

a ninth-inning d
pare ore grounded a single up the
middle.

Duane Ward, 3-0, the third Tor-
onto pitcher, gave up one hit over
three innings for the win.

Boston reliever Lee Smith, bat-
tered for six runs by the Blue Jays at
Fenway Park last Saturday, replaced
starter Bruce Hurst to start the
eighth and gave up the tying run.
Kelly Gruber hit a two-out single and
scored on a pinch-hit double by Rance
Mulliniks.

Spike Owen, who hit a solo homer
off Toronto starter Mike Flanagan in
the second for a 3-1 Boston lead,
saved the go-ahead run in the eighth.
Pinch hitter Ernie Whitt hit a
blooper into short left and Owen
made an over-the-shoulder catch.

Boston jumped out 2-0 with four
singles in the first inning. Rick
Cerone, batting fifth for the first
time in his career, and Mike Green-
well drove in the runs.

With one out in the Toronto first,
George Bell hit an apparent double
play ball but Owen threw the relay
from second into the dirt at first and
it skipped into the dugout. Tony Fer-
nandez, who singled to start the
inning, scored from third on the play.

Manny Lee, like Owen the No. 9
hitter, hit a solo homer in the second

Angrignon, Soukeroff, Bob Larsh
and Taranoff contributed the othe
RBIs. Plotnikoff took the loss on the
mound for Hi Arrow.

In other fastpitch action, Tudor
Sports crushed K and A Tire 10-2.
Colin Sookro went four for four at the
plate and singled in one run for
Tudor. Ed Strielieff contributed two
RBIs as did teammate Kent Smith in
the Tudor victory. Cam Sookro took
the win on the mound for Tudor with
K and A's Ben Legebokoff taking the
loss,

Eli Soukeroff pitched a two-hit
shut out as Labatt’s lost 5-0 to
Checkers earlier this week. Souker-
off was also swinging a hot bat and
went two for three at the plate and
batted in a run. Phil Angrignon
contributed two RBIs in his only
appearance at the plate. Pete Evdok-
imoff took the loss for Labatt’s.

to make the score 3-2. It was his first
homer this year.

Flanagan, who last lost to the Red
Sox on Aug. 13, 1982, wobbled
through 6 23 innings. He gave up
seven hits and six walks but stranded
seven runners.

Todd Stottlemyre picked up from
Flanagan in the Boston sixth with
two runners on and got Marty
Barrett to hit an inning-ending fly.

Hurst allowed two runs on eight
hits and two walks.

NOTES — Tony Fernandez, who
came into the game hitless in his last
18 at-bats, went 3-for-4 and drew a
lead-off walk in the ninth off Lee
Smith; he was on second when
George Bell ended the winning with a
grounder . . . Bell went 0-for-5 and
has three hits in his last 33 at-bats;
when he struck out in the eighth, the
crowd jeered and Bell raised his arms
in mock triumph . . . Jesse Barfield
has five singles in 40 at-bats since
coming off the disabled_list; he has
three homes in his 67 games . . .
Lloyd Moseby, with one hit in his last
19 at-bats, popped up on a sacrifice
attempt in the ninth . . . Toronto
against the AL East teams this
month, is 8-3. . . Gruber’s 40 RBIs
this season are a career-high... Both
Flangagan and Hurst picked a runner
off first.

Weekend Wrap-up

might prejudi i with
the networks.

“This will eliminate the guessing
game for hockey fans, especially in
the playoffs, as to what game is bein,
televised by whom and in what area,
said Samson.

In the past, Molson shared national
television rights. with rival O'Keefe
Breweries. But O'Keefe, which still
had another year on its five-year
contract with the league, decided
instead to focus its attention on the
telecasting of games involving the
Quebec Nordiques, which the brew-
ery owns.

GAMES SHOWN

Nordiques’ games will continue to
be shown on a network in the
province, but if, for example, they
have a game at the Colisee against
the Toronto Maple Leafs, the game
will be telecast throughout the rest
of Canada under Molson sponsorship.

Asked whether Molson would
allow a telecast with O'Keefe ad-
vertising on the rink boards at the
Colisee, Samson replied, “We have
alrady come to an agreement that the
O'Keefe signs will be removed for
that game.”

There have been recent reports
that Molson’s new deal and the
ensuing negotiations to package the
product to networks, might mean the
end of the traditional Hockey Night
in Canada presentation on the CBC
each Saturday. The CTV network is
among those with which Molson has
had discussions.

“Since Molson has the right to pick
the networks they want, it would be
unfair for me or the league to
comment,” said Ziegler.
