The boat drivers are members of the Fraser Valley Drag Boat Association, but the racers will be coming from all over B.C., Alberta and Washington state to try and determine who has the fastest boat. The boats race side-by-side two at a time and cover a quarter-mile long straight stretch of water in any- where from 15 to seven seconds. “The speed is there, the noise is seven seconds. there, it's all action,” said Fraser Valley Drag Boat Association spokesman Gary Bergeron. “This particular event is going to be a racer’s race because the water up there (Castlegar) is smoo0th. Th drivers are really looking forward to the Castlegar event.” The Sunfest "races aré scheduled to run for about six hours on June 4 on the Columbia River and the best viewing area will be on the east side of the river in the Robson area. The boats race in brackets according to the times recorded in heats. There are brackets ranging from 15 seconds down to the Blown Class or Heads Up Unlimited Class where the fastest boat on race day wins.

The unlimiteds develop about 1,600 horsepower and gulp seven gallons of enthanol fuel in a six-second quarter-mile pass.

SERIES OVER Devils beat Capitals LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — John MacLean scored on a @eflection to snap a 2-2 tie with 6:11 rei ‘ing Saturday night, lifting the New Jersey Devils to a 82 victory over the Washington Capitals in the seventh game of the Patrick Division final. The Devils, in the National Hockey League playoffs for the first time since moving from Colorado to New, Jersey in 1982, advanced to the Wales Conference final, where they will meet the Boston Bruins in a best-of-seven series beginning Monday night at the Boston Garden. The game-winner came after New Jersey defenceman Craig Wolanin intercepted a clearing pass at the right point, turned and golfed a low shot. MacLean got his stick on the puck and tipped it past Washington goalie Pete Peeters, just inside the left post. Rookie goaltender Sean Burke stopped 30 shots for New Jersey and made several key ‘stops in the final period. The loss marked the sixth consecu tive year the Capitals have failed to advance past the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It was also the fourth consecutive game and fifth overall in the seven-game series won by the visiting team. After falling behind 20 in the game's first 12 minutes, Washington pulled even with a pair of goals in the final five minutes of the second period. After pressuring Burke for most of the period, Washingtan scored with 4:39 left when defenceman Grant Ledyard beat Burke on a screened slapshot from the left point. Garry Galley tied the game with six seconds left in the period. His soft shot from the high slot got past a diving Aaron Broten and went in off the right shoulder of the six-foot-three Burke. The Devils took a 1-0 lead 14 seconds into the game. Kirk. Muller, set up alone in front, took a centering feed from the left corner by Broten and flipped a forehand shot over Peeters. New Jersey opened a 20 lead at 12:01 of the first when Claude Loiselle deflected Bruce Driver's slapshot past a screened Peeters. Yzerman may skate in playoffs against Oilers DETROIT (AP) — Detroit centre Steve Yzerman went through a full Jamieson said: “He would have to have a total absence of swelling, soreness or ‘workout y with his to test his injured knee, but a club spokesman wouldn't speculate whether the 50-goal scorer would return for the Campbell Conference finals against Edmonton. Yzerman was examined Friday at the University of Wisconsin by Dr. William Clancy, who concurred with an earlier diagnosis by the Red Wings’ team physician that Yzerman could practice full-tilt. But Red Wings spokesman Bill iff to play (against Edmonton) and at yhe moment that isn’t the case.” Yzi an had 50 goals and 52 assists in 64 games before crashing into the goal post in a game against the Buffalo Sabres on March 1, tearing the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. But the Red Wings continued winning without him, capturing the regular-season Norris Division title and disposing of Toronto and St. Louis in the playoffs On Friday, Detroit coach Jacques Demers was optimistic about Yzer- man’s chances of returning. “I've said it’s going to take a miracle for him to play,” Demers said. “But I guess I believe in miracles. “My biggest hope is having Steve in the lineup against Edmonton on Tuesday. That could be possible.” Early last week, Dr. Robert Teitge, the club's physician, deter- mined it was possible that Yzerman would be able to play as soon as 10 days to two weeks, meaning a possible return for Game 3 of the series- Orioles drop decision CHICAGO (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles, who set_an American League baseball record 21-game losing streak before winning a game, reverted to their losing ways Saturday night, bowing to the Chicago White Sox 4-1 as Ivan Calderon homered and Rick Horton allowed four hits in seven innings. The Orioles, who snapped their record-breaking skid by defeating the White Sox 9-0 Friday night, established another dubious record. Their 1-22 mark for April left them with an .043 pereentage, the lowest mark for April left them modern baseball history. The previous low of .067 was set by the Philadelphia Athletics, who went 2-28 in July 1916. Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Tito Landrum tripled and scored on Car! Nichols’s sacrifice fly. The White Sox came right back with two runs in the bottom of the second off Mark Thurmond, 0-5. Calderon led off with his sixth home run, a drive into the upper deck in left field. Greg Walker blooped a double to right-centre and scored on a single by Carlton Fisk. Angels 6 Jays 1 TORONTO (CP) — Mark McLemore singled home a run in the eighth inning to break a 1-1 tie, and California batted around in 4 four-run ninth to back Chuck Finley's five-hitter Saturday as the Angels handed Toronto a 6-1 loss, the Blue Jays sixth consecutive defeat. Finley, 2-3, struck out four in his first complete game in the majors. He retired 11 in a row from the third inning through the sixth. Devon White hit a solo home run, his second, to tie the score 1-1 in the California fourth. Bob Boone started the Angels eighth with a one-out single off John Cerutti, 1-1, and Junior Noboa ran for him. Pinch-hitter George Hendrick hit a comebacker to Cerutti, but Cerutti’s throw to second was too late to get Noboa, who moved into scoring position for McLemore. Athletics 11 Indians 3 CLEVELAND (AP) — Jose Canseco hit a three-run homer, and Carney Lansford had three hits as the Oakland Athletics extended their American League winning streak to six with an 113 rout of the Cleveland Indians on The trade rumors are rampant in the Canadian’ Football League camps in Vancouver and Edmonton. Will Matt Dunigan go to B.C.? Will Greg Stumon go to Edmonton? Dunigan, who says he is unhappy with the Edmonton Eskimo man agement because they haven't ac- corded him the respect and money he feels he deserved for his per. formance over the past few seasons, hinted at wanting to go the Lions. The Lions, who are carrying quarterbacks Ricky Foggy, Con redge Holloway and veteran Roy Dewalt, are taking an interest in Dunigan in what could be a starting role-for the Grey Cup champion QB. Dunigan recently returned to the Eskimo camp after an unsuccessful try out with a Montreal Expos farm team in Florida. He is also being eyed by the Saskatchewan Rough riders, but the Lions appear to be Edmonton's choice for a trade. The Saskatchewan brass say they're getting stonewalled with every attempt to talk to Edmonton about Dunigan. Winnipeg might be another player in the Dunigan sweeps if rumors of Tom Clements impending retirement prove to be true. Despite the apparent interest ~ by other CFL teams in his talents, Dunigan may find his quest for more money hinderéd by the CFL's new $3-million-per-team salary cap. In trying to keep the ailing league afloat, the league officials have imposed the salary cap on all teams Sporting Views By Brendan Nagle to keep the operating costs down in an attempt to balance the books. It’s a proposition that has B.C. Lions manager Joe Galat juggling contract requirements and re quests. “It becomes a long process,” Galat sakys in a telephone interview from his Vancouver office. He also admitted he is talking with Eskimo general manager Hugh Campbell to try to work out a deal for the Edmonton pivot. “You play a little bit, of wait-and. see,” Galat says. He says the Eskimos are inter. “ested in “a couple” of defensive players currently on the B.C. roster, but wouldn't say who Edmonton is seeking. “The ball’s in their court,” he says. “They could probably get a couple of good players from us. They're supposedly trying to im prove on the defensive side of the field.” When Dewalt’s name comes up Galat says the court case is ongoing but the B.C. veteran quarterback is still listed to play. Dewalt has taken the organization to court over salary cuts handed to him at the end of last season. If the Lions actually sign Dunigan the team will have four pivots in camp and Galat says he's not sure who will end up on the active roster. “It depends on the Dewalt sit- uation,” he says. Galat says even though the club is thick with quarterbacks “you can't pass up a chance at getting a shot at a quarterback with Dunigan's skills.” Should the Lions manage to se cure Dunigan’s services he would be used in a leadership role. “It would give us an opportunity to have a veteran like Dunigan break in a young guy like Foggy,” he says. Galat is quick to-say the talks are just talks and nothing is final at the moment. He remains cautiously, optimistic that the Lions can secure Dunigan without parting with “the entire defence.” “Absolutely nothing has been de cided,” he says. But “we'll continue the talks.” Galat adds that Dunigan’s skills would make him a good choice for a' starting role. “He'd be the guy who would more than likely be the first one in there,” he says. So Galat and Campbell hur! offers and figures at each other over the Phone while the careers of certain players hang in the balance. In the money crunch currently facing the Bod success of this deal may iffgé on the price of the players more than their skills, but Galat says you just keep the fire burning. It's like poker; you raise the ante,” he says. “ a question of who wants who the worst.” Oakland, first in the AL West, has won 10 of its last 11 and is nine games over .500 for the first time since Aug. 11, 1985. Cleveland, first in the East, has lost two straight games for the first time this season. Bob Welch, 3-2, gave up three runs on seven hits in six innings for the victory before Gene Nelson earned his first save with three innings of two-hit relief. Rich Yett, 2-1, took the loss as he yielded five runs on six hits in three innings. Oakland trailed 1-0 in the third when Lansford and Stan Javier hit one-out singles. Canseco then drove his eighth home run over the left-field fence to put the Athletics ahead 3-1. Canseco, who has 24 RBIs, had only one homer and 10 RBIs last April. Red Sox 8 Twins 3 BOSTON (AP) — Rick Cerone had three hits, including his first homer-since Sept_7, and scored three runs, helping the Boston Red Sox post their eighth victory in nine games with an 8-3 decision over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Unbeaten Bruce Hurst was staked to a 7-1 lead, then picked up his fourth victory with help from Wes Gardner, who earned his first save with three hitless innings, retiring all nine batters he faced. Off to their best start since 1952 with a 14-6 record, the Red Sox completed their best month of April in the cluh’s 88-year history. The 14 victories were one more than the 1979 and 1982 teams had in April. Cerone, released by the New York Yankees at the end of spring training and signed by the Red Sox April 14 as a replacement for injured Rich Gedman, capped a three-run second inning with a two-run homer into the left-field screen. It was his first homer since he hit one for the Yankees in a victory over Boston in Fenway Park nearly nine months ago. Brewers 4 Reyals 1 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Paul. Molitor singled three times, stole two bases and scored two runs, and Bill Wegman scattered 10 hits over 8 1-3 innings, leading the Milwaukee Brewers scattered 10 hits over Royals 4-1 in an American League baseball game Saturday. Molitor helped the Brewers to a 1-0-4ead in the first inning with a leadoff walk and a stolen base. Royals starter Charlie Liebrandt, 1-5, then walked Rob Deer and Greg Brock to load the bases. Liebrandt hit Glenn Braggs with a pitch forcing in Molitor. NATIONAL LEAGUE Phillies 7 Braves 5 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mike Schmidt had two singles and a triple, driving in two runs, and Juan Samuel had three RBIs with a two-run triple and a sacrifice fly as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Atlanta Braves 7-5 on Saturday, snapping a three game National League losing streak. Don Carman, 3-2, who allowed three runs in 5 1-3 innings, was the winner with relief help from Greg Harris and Kent Tekulve. Tekulve got the Phillies first save of the season. The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the first when Milt Thompson beat out a bunt, stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Schmidt's single. Atlanta took a 2-1 lead in the second. Gary Roenicke doubled, moved to third on a single by Gerald Perry and scored on Ozzie Virgil's sacrifice fly as Perry moved to second. Perry then stole third and scored on a single by Andres Thomas. Cubs 2 Giants 1 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Vance Law hit a run-scoring single with two out in the 13th inning, lifting the Chieago Cubs to a 2-1 National League baseball victory Saturday over the San Francisco Giants. After Ryne Sandberg led off the 13th with a walk and was caught stealing, Manny Trillo followed with a double to left off Joe Price, 0-2. Oilers could have hands full with improved Wings EDMONTON (CP) — The octopus has long been a symbol associated with the Detroit Red Wings and the National Hockey League playoffs. Back in the days of the six-team NHL, Detroit fans used to toss the slimy creatures on to the ice at the old Olympia Stadium. Legend has it the eight arms on an octopus represented the number of playoff victories needed to win the Stanley Cup back then. The Red Wings haven't won the Cup for 33 years, but when they stormed to the NHL semifinals last season against the Edmonton Oilers, the octopus tradition re- appeared as well. Only this time, it became a symbol of something else: the Red Wings’ tendency to clutch, grab and otherwise wrap their arms around their more skillful opponents. Will it happen again when Detroit meets the Oilers in a rematch of last year's semifinal series, beginning Tuesday night in Edmonton? The Oilers say yes. The Red Wings say no. “I think that’s the only way they can play against us if they want any results,” said Oiler winger Normand Lacombe. “We have a lot more speed than they have. “I watched the series last year and it seemed to work.” It did and it didn’t. Slowing the series to a snail's pace, the Wings won the first game but lost the next four, albeit by one goal each time. Edmonton went on to win the Stanley Cup for the third time in four years. “I don't think they'll try to be fancy,” said Marty McSorley, the Oilers’ defenceman who will sit out the first three games with a suspension he incurred for 3 spearing Calgary's Mike Bullard in the Smythe Division = final. = “They'll try to win a sleeper, maybe.a four-hour s game with a lot of slowdowns, a lot of extra-long line 3 changes. = “They'll line up at their blueline, dump it in and not 2 give you a chance to wind up.” H But that’s not quite the way Detroit coach Jacques Demers sees it. He points out that his team is vastly improved over last season, when it finished two games below .500 and had the fewest goals in the NHL. TEAM IMPROVES This year the Red Wings were fifth overall, 13 games over .500 and third — behind the Calgary Flames and the Oilers — in scoring. . “I really believe when we step into Edmonton, we're going to get a heck of a lot more respect than we did last year, from the players, from everybody,” said Demers. “Last year, were were over achievers. Maybe we still are, I don't know. But Edmonton is going to have to take us serious this time.” “Detroit is a vastly improved hockey club,” McSorley agreed. “We had a heck of a hockey team last year and we had to really fight and sweat and work our butts off.”
