The child's mother told re- porters there have been small signs of progress since the treatments started im February, the Paris news. paper Le Matin said Tues- day. Following a period of no reaction to the treatment, Charles-Alban Simon now sometimes whimpers or cries. The last two weeks, he has been able to be fed with a spoon. But the newspaper said there is no indication the re- actions are a direct response to the treatment, nor what permanent improvement can be expected after such a long period in coma. Last July 31, Charles-Al- ban Simon slipped away from his parents while on vacation at his grandparents’ home in Colombia and fell into a swimming pool. He was res- cued after a few minutes and a doctor got his heart beating again. After consulting French and American experts, the parents learned of a multi- sensory stimulus treatment used by Dr. Glenn Dormann at a hospital in Garden City, N.Y. His mother told reporters the treatment involved spending 10 hours each day trying to stimulate the child’s senses with noise, light, am- monia vapor and gymnastic movements. The gymnastic movements require five people to be pre- sent. The child is held upside down by his arms and legs and one person supports his head. ‘You'll Love The Buys. tn All Departments™ Parpers Pampers Toddler 24s.

Award winner charged TAMPA, FLA. (AP) — Denny McLain, a two-time Cy Young Award recipient and major league baseball's last 30-game winner, pleaded not guilty Tuesday on charg- es of racketerring, extortion, loan-sharking, bookmaking and conspiracy to smuggle drugs. McLain, arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Paul Game, was scheduled for trial in May. The 40-year-old former De- troit Tigers star, who won 31 games in 1968, remained free on $200,000 bond after Game admonished him and lawyer Arnold Levine for arriving nearly 30 minutes late for the arraignment, which had al. ready been postponed twice in the last two weeks. The unexpected delay Tuesday prompted Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn Cole to ask that an arrest warrant be issued. However, before Game could rule on the request, a court clerk arrived with a message that McLain was en route to the federal building. Levine said he was tied up in citeuit court and that Me- Lain had been waiting for him at his law office.

Mets-off to-best: start with 8-1 record By The Associated Press National League baseball teams don’t have New York Mets to kick around any- more. Once the doormats of their division, the Mets are off to the best start in their 23-year history with a 5-1 record. “We're doing what we be- lieved we can do,” New York outfielder Darryl Strawberry said Tuesday night after his third home run of the season helped the Mets gained their fifth straight victory with a 4-2 decision over Atlanta Braves. In other National League action, it was Philadelphia Phillies 3 Houston Astros 1, Cincinnati Reds 8 Montreal Expos 6, San Diego Padres 7 St. Louis Cardinals 3, and San Francisco Giants 4 Pitts. burgh Pirates 3. In the American League, Baltimore Orioles, notorious for their slow ‘starts, par- layed a pair of Cal Ripken home runs into a 6-3 victory over Kansas City Royals, their first of 1984 following four losses. Ripken, the most valuable player last year in the Amer- ican League, said: “We know we have a good ballelub. It’s not like this was a hump ge had to get over.” In other American League gaines, Detroit Tigers trip- ped Texas Rangers 5-1, New York Yankees beat Minne- sota Twins 4-1, Chicago White Sox stopped Cleveland Indians 7-3, Milwaukee Brew ers hammered California An- gels 10-1, Seattle Mariners downed Boston Red Sox 5-1 and Toronto Blue Jays blank- ed Oakland A’s 3-0. Home runs by Strawberry in the second inning and Hubie Brooks in the fifth gave the Mets a 2.0 lead. At- lanta got its first run in the bottom of the ‘fifth on con- secutive singles by Bob Hor- ner, Chris Chambliss and Glenn Hubbard against Ron Darling, then tied it the next inning on Claudell Washing- ton’s homer. The score stayed 2-2 until the Mets scored twice in the eighth, on an RBI single by Keith Hernandez and a sacri- fice fly by George Foster. Craig Swan, 1-0, who re- placed Darling after six inn- ings, picked up the victory. Craig McMurtry, 1-1, ab- sorbed the loss.

The Rangers outplayed their local rivals for most of the best-of-five Patrick Division semifinal. They had the Islanders on the ropes more often than anyone has managed since the Rangers eliminated them from the Stanley Cup chase in 1979 — a record 17 successful series “Both teams played a great series,” “Experience pulled us through it when others might have folded. It’s really too bad two teams like this have to meet New York Islanders, Still, as they always seem to, the Islanders found a on Ken Morrow's slapshot through goalie Glen Hanlon’s legs at 8:56 of overtime. It was the fifth straight overtime triumph for the Islanders against the Rangers, whom they've knocked out of the playoffs four consecutive years. The Islanders are 20-5 in playoff over “Looking back on the series, it was a fitting way to said Morrow, a defenceman who has scored three overtime goals in his NHL career, which began after he helped the 1980 United States Olympic hockey team to a Morrow said.

Smith blocked 42. shots, skate save on rookie Bob Brooke just before Morrow won it. But Smith couldn't stop Maloney’s tying goal while goalie Glen Hanlon was lifted for an extra attacker. And he was beaten in the first period by Ron Greschner's superb solo effort. Greschner skated circles around defenceman Denis Potvin before faking Smith and poking ina backhander to make it 1-0, the fifth time the Rangers had scored first. The Islanders got their first first-period goal of the series to tie it with only 11 seconds left. Mike Bossy pounced on a puck which defenceman Tom Laidlaw mis- played in his skates and put a backhander through Hanlon's legs. At 7:56 of the third period, defenceman Tomas Johnsson put the Islanders ahead with a 35-foot blast that bounced in off Hanlon. Then Maloney tied it. NORTH STARS 4 BLACK HAWKS 1 Minnesota had been eliminated the last two seasons by the Black Hawks, but Chicago was no match in the deciding game. Dennis Maruk got the host North Stars started with a short-handed goal and added an empty-net goal later on, while George Ferguson and Dino Ciccarelli also connected. Bob Murray scored for Chicago. “I was trying to score on that goalie (Chicago's Murray Bannerman) for four games, but he stoned us,” Maruk said. “So I practised on getting my shot low, both backhanded and forehand Minnesota's Brad Maxwell said: taken a lot of money out of our pockets the last two years, so I'm happy to get rid of them.” “It doesn't including a magnificent “This team has + EDMONTON {GP} — Wayne Gretzky bristles at the suggestion that new linemate Raimo Summanen has struggled in his last two National Hockey League out- ings with Edmonton Oilers. “How can you say that?” Gretzky asked Tuesday. “He's played five games (all of them victories), and he's played very well. Are you going to judge him on the basis of two games?” Summanen, a 22-year-old Finnish rookie who joined the Oilers during the last week of the regular season, has four points in three NHL playoff games and has shown flashes of brilliance playing left’ wing on a line with Gretzky and fellow Finn Jari Kurri. But when Winnipeg Jets clamped down in the last two games of the preliminary round Oilers sweep, Sum- manen, who replaced Jaros- lav Pouzar, began having trouble-in the offensive zone. Summanen made his pro- fessional debut with two as- sists March 27 against Cal- gary and he will be in the lineup Thursday when the Flames and Oilers open a best-of-seven quarter-final series. “Sure, he plays a different style,” said Gretzky. “Jar- oslav never crossed the blue line, he always hung back, and there were a lot of situ- ations we'd get in where Paul Coffey would move up and become kind of the third for- ward on the line.” Summanen can_ hardly speak in his own defence. “I'm a little nervous, I think, but I can play better,” he said Tuesday, without Kurri acting as translator. “i must play better.” FACES DECISION In Calgary, meanwhile, Flames coach Bob Johnson has a decision to make re- garding defenceman Paul Reinhart, who centred Jim Peplinski and Steve Tambel- lini on Sunday when Calgary d V Can- sparked Calgary with three goals in Sunday's 5-1 win. With Reinhart at centre, the Flames lose their top de- fenceman. In the event that Reinhart played defence, he would replace Charlie Bour- geois. Johnson, whose team lost seven games and tied one against the Oilers this sea- son, has yet to decide whe- ther Rejean Lemelin or Don Edwards will be in goal Thursday night in Edmonton. “It will be whoever is ready physically and mental- ly,” Johnson said. “Against the Oilers, it doesn't make all Linematenot struggling? that much difference. They're tough on any goalie.” Lemelin had the better goals-against average during the regular season — 3.50 compared with 4.09 for Ed wards. However, against the Oil ers, Lemelin’s average was 7.50 while Edwards was 5.72. Both agree they'll have to be sharp to beat the Oilers. “They can burn you on two-on-ones,” said Edwards. “But I've never had any nightmares about the Oilers. I'll sleep well tonight.” “I hope the heck I get hot, that’s all,” said Lemelin. McEnroe .defeats Borg at B.C. Place VANCOUVER (CP) — ucks. “I certainly enjoyed play- ing on that line but I'll do whatever he (Johnson) wants me to,” said Reinhart, who Barfield says slump is over OAKLAND (AP) — Jesse Barfield says the slump is over. The Toronto outfielder, who belted a game-winning home run against Oakland A's, says he has secured a full-time job in the Blue Jays’ lineup. “Tve been told that Tm pretty much going to play every day,” said Barfield, whose first homer and RBI of the season Tuesday night ig- nited the Blue Jays to a 3.0 American League baseball victory over the A's. Toronto pitchers Luis Leal and Roy Lee Jackson held Oakland to three hits. “Platooning is out of the question — I couldn't accept that,” said Barfield, who brought only a .182 average into the game. “It's not that I'm selfish, but (Toronto manager Bobby Cox) sat down and told everybody at the beginning of the season that I'd be out there everyday in right field.” Barfield had been slated to sit on the bench for the game Tuesday night, but he was put into the lineup at the last minute. Barfield, who had never faced Oakland starter Larry Sorensen, didn't know what to expect when he stepped to the plate in the second inning. It didn't matter. Barfield stepped into an 0-2 pitch and sent it deep into the left- centre field bleachers to give the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead. John McE: used his big serve and convincing ground strokes to pound out a 6-3 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 exhibition tennis vie- tory Tuesday night over the semi-retired Bjorn Borg be- fore 11,560 fans at B.C. Place Stadium. McEnroe never appeared seriously pressed by Borg, who committed a series of unforced errors and had con- siderable difficulty with his overhead Borg’s troubles continued after the match when he slipped and fell in the show er, cutting his arm, but the injury was not serious. The exhibition gave Mc Enroe an announced purse of $50,000 and Borg $25,000. It was the first time they have met in two years with their career tournament records standing at seven wins each in the 14 meetings. McEnroe broke in the eighth game of the first set and in the seventh game of the second set while holding his serve. He dominated the second set as Borg mustered only three points against Mc- Enroe's service. Stunningly, Borg then broke McEnroe at love in the second game of the third set with two huge forehand win- ners and he parlayed the break into the set. McEnroe seemed to take the fourth set far more seriously as he again dominated the 27-year- old Swede. COMING BACK “I'm just coming back from a bit of a layoff so I didn’t really play that well,” said McEnroe. “I enjoyed playing Bjorn again, and I hope the people enjoyed watching as much as we did playing. “He was actually a little better than I thought he would be. But when you don’t play tournaments it's hard to get involved in the big points and I think that was his trouble. “My concentration level is a lot higher because I've been playing. We play once more and I hope we can work it out to schedule a couple more.” Borg said he had fun play- ing McEnroe. “John is a tough one to be playing because he's on top of his game and he's had a fan- tastic start this season. He's going to be the man to beat this year. “T'm sure he'll win at rolananer two of the major tourna: ments this year. He's playing with such confidence.
