Fishing rules are invalid VANCOUVER (CP) — There's something fishy about the British Columbia government's fresh-water angling regulations — many of them won't stand up in court. Game time is 6:30 p.m. on the Stanley Humphries field. in Glenmerry, Trail 7336 A.M. FORD “Your Ford Country Hi DELL DENNIS “Save $$$ with the Auto Sellers at A.M.

Lief Sunde, the ministry's fishing co-ordinator, explains that the province does not have .complete control of its fresh-water fisheries, and many regulations must be approved by the federal gov- ernment. However, the fed- out yet,” says Sunde. The only way an angler would be likely to discover he had broken an invalid rule might be if an enforecement officer dropped a charge, knowing it would not stand up in court. The regulations are re- leased before Ottawa ap- proves them “because bet- ween 95 and 98 per cent of fishermen are honest and know the intent of the regu- lations is for conservation,” Sunde said. There also is doubt about the legality of B.C.’s fresh- water angling licence fees, under anti-discrimination eral y takes more than a year to confirm each year’s changes. By the time the authoriza- tion arrives from Ottawa, the next year’s regulations are in circulation. “The batch sent in to be approved for ‘84 are still not pr of the Charter of Rights.

R & B AUTO SUPPLY 1507 Columbia Ave., Castlegor 365-7787 WITH THE AUTO PARTS PROFESSIONALS ECHLIN SPARK By GRANT KERR The Canadian Press Earl Lunsford earned the nickname Earthquake when he dropped his shoulder to brush off would-be tacklers. He rushed for 1,794 yards in 1961 for Calgary Stampeders and was respected by defences for his determination. Lunsford returned to Calgary earlier this year as general manager of the floundering Stampeders and has created more tremors by almost a third of last year's team, which won just six of 16 the Canadian Football League pla; Traded away were three starting offensive linemen — Willie Thomas, Kevin Molle and Jeff Inglis — quarter- back Bernard Quarles, defensive linemen Walter Ballard and Ken Moore, and receivers Mike McTague and Phil Charron. Veteran receiver Tom Scott was released, linebacker James West was allowed to sign with St. Louis Cardinals of the National Football League and an 11th player, veteran corner Ray Odums, may not be back after playing out his option. Lunsford’s broom has swept through the playing ranks almost as quickly as Lunsford ran into secondaries as a player. The former Texas school teacher is intent on lifting the back into in the Western Division of the CFL. REBUILDING JOB “We've got to get this franchise up off its butt,” says Lunsford, who hasn't lost his native Oklahoma mannerisms. “We've got to be competitive this season and start getting some fans back into the seats. “People in Calgary are not happy with what's happened the last few years. They want a winner, a consistent winner. It won't happen overnight and right now we've got alligators up to here, but we're hanging n. The Stampeders have lost about $1.6 million on Lunsford wants action i i icket sales have dropped operations since 1981. Season ticket off to about 10,000. Calgary's credibility has bottomed out and Lunsford was brought out of temporary football retirement to rescue what once was one of the CFL's hi tions. sag oy as 52, has retained Steve Buratto as head coach on the belief that Buratto, 41, deserves another chance after just one year in Calgary after the firing of coach-general manager Jack Gotta after the 1983 season. . ley, i dit for mie a v neoee, was hired as director of player personnel, replacing Ed Alsman. Riley, 58, knows Lunsford well, having been hired and fired as head coach in Winnipeg when Lunsford was general manager of the Blue Bombers. OFFENCE NEEDED “We had a pretty good defence last season, I understand, but we had no consistency on offence, Lunsford says. “Interceptions cost us at least two games, which happens with a young club.” Seeking leadership at the key quarterback position, Lunsford engineered a trade with Toronto Argonauts for Joe Barnes, who had played out his option. Barnes, 33, finally signed with the Stamps after checking out opportunities south of the border. Calgary paid a high price for Barnes, giving up a top pass rusher in Ballard and a starting offensive tackle in Inglis. * “A guy like Barnes doesn't make many mistakes and he'll help bring along our Canadian quarterback, Greg Vavra,” says Lunsford. “And the coach wants to put in and-shoot offence, something which Barnes runs Thomas, Molle and Moore were shipped to Saskatchewan Roughriders for centre Bob Poley, offensive lineman Gerry Hornett and running back Greg Feiger. Carter pu By The Canadian Press Gary Carter's ankle hurt, his knee was sore and he had a cracked rib. Bad news for the opposition. Tuesday night, the ailing New York catcher doled out some punishment of his own, hitting an eighth-inning grand slam home run to give the Mets and right-hander Ron Darling a 5-3 National League win over Atlanta Braves. Carter’s homer, his fifth of the year and eighth career grand slam, broke a 1-1 tie, and the Mets survived a two-run Atlanta ninth against reliever Jesse Orosco. Carter now has four game-winning RBIs this season, all on homers. Carter cracked a rib on April 28, then aggravated an old injury to his left ankle and took a foul ball off his left knee in last Sunday's game against Cincinnati. “The ribs are coming along,” Carter said. “Actually, the ankle hurt a lot more. “Some injuries-come around to haunt you. But sometimes when you hurt in so many places, you just have to concentrate on the ball.” In other NL games Tuesday, it was: Houston Astros 3, Montreal Expos 1; San Diego Padres 12, St. Louis Cardinals 2; San Francisco Giants 5, Pittsburgh Pirates 3; Chicago Cubs 4, Los Angeles Dodgers 2; Cincinnati Reds 2, Philadelphia Phillies 0. Carter said he hit a high split-fingered fastball that didn’t drop the way Atlanta pitcher Bruce Sutter's specialty pitch usually drops. “Td like to have it back,” Sutter said. “Seriously, it was a good pitch. He hung in and did what he was supposed to do.” ‘The Braves scored twice in the ninth on singles by Brad Komminsk and Rafael Ramirez before loading the bases with one out against Orosco. But Orosco struck out home run leader Dale Murphy and got Paul Zuvella to pop out. Solo homers by Claudell Washington of the Braves in the fifth and Howard Johnson in the seventh had forged a 1-1 tie as Darling and Steve Bedrosian locked up in a pitching duel. Bedrosian, a converted reliever, worked six innings, giving up four hits and striking out three without issuing a walk. Darling allowed nine hits in eight innings, walked two and struck out nine. ASTROS 3 EXPOS 1 In Montreal, Bob Knepper combined with Bill Dawley on a five-hitter and three players contributed run-scoring singles to give Houston a rain-delayed win. Knepper, 3-0, allowed only two hits until Hubie Brooks's one-out single in the sixth. With Houston leading 3-0, the game was then delayed for one hour, 46 minutes by rain and when it resumed Dawley relieved. With two out, pinch hitter Terry Francona’s single skipped past left fielder Jose Cruz for an error that allowed Brooks to score. Dawley yielded two hits over the final 3 2-3 innings for his first save. Starter David Palmer, 2-3, took the loss. PADRES 12 CARDINALS 2 In St. Louis, Terry Kennedy hit a pair of two-run singles and Carmelo Martinez doubled and homered to drive in three runs, powering the Padres past the error-plagued Cardinals. Four St. Louis errors, one by each starting infielder, led to seven unearned San Diego runs. The Cards’ Bob Forsch, 2-2, lasted only 2 1 inings. Dave Dravecky,. 1-2, allowed four hits over six innings.

The victory was the Giants’ second in a row in Pittsburgh but was only their sixth in the last 28 road games, dating back to the 1984 season. Jim Gott, 2-0 since being acquired by the Giants from Toronto Blue Jays in an offseason trade, allowed five hits, truck out three and walked one in seven innings. CUBS 4 DODGERS 2 Davey Lopes had two singles and a sacrifice fly and drove in two runs to lead Chicago to the home win. Lopes, who struck out four times in Monday's loss to his former teammates, drove in one run with a third-inning sacrifice fly and singled in another in the sixth. Dick Ruthven, 1-1, allowed eight hits and two runs before departing for a pinch hitter in the sixth, then Lee Smith pitched out of two jams to post his seventh save. REDS 2 PHILLIES 0 Mario Soto and two relievers combined on a five-hitter as Cincinnati won at Philadelphia. Soto, 5-2, gave up four its, struck out six and walked five in seven innings. John Franco allowed a walk to Ozzie Virgil and a single to Garry Maddox in the ninth before Ted Power came on to strike out Juan Samuel to end the game and record his fourth save. Kevin Gross, who worked five innings and allowed five hits and both Cincinnati runs, dropped to 2-3. 4 Mid-Week Wrap-up BASEBALL sing onder cher tenetey ema n Srotehy, tam 110 2 : =.
