While the federal Conservatives have yet to make their move toward privatization official, as a business Crown oil giant ‘‘is get ting there quickly,’’ Petro-Canada chairman Bill Hopper said “I would say 1990 will be a bench mark year for us,"* Hopper said in an interview with the Calgary Herald during an energy conference in Mon- treal “We're trying to turn ourselves around in terms of profitability.”” Hopper said “1989 is a turnaround year,” with Petro-Canada hauling it- self into the industry mainstream by trimming staff, selling: unprofitable assets, adopting a business-standard corporate accounting system and ex- panding in natural gas. “In 1990 we should start fresh.” But Hopper said Petro-Canada has yet to receive its marching drders to take the last step toward privatization by getting a share issue ready to put up for sale on the stock exchanges. When asked whether securities analysts are right in speculating that a sales plan is in preparation, Hopper said ‘‘not that I’m aware of.”” He acknowledged “there's been a lot of speculation” that the long. promised privatization is just around the corner, but stressed “‘it is strictly a shareholder decision’? — in other wor- ds, it is up to the federal cabinet, which owns all of Petro-Canada’s “‘stock.”” Spokane.

But they are within one game of controlling their own destiny, since they end the season with a three-gante series at home against the Cubs. That wasn’t the reason for the bottle of champaghe that St. Louis reliever Dan, Quisenberry delivered to Brunansky’s locker. His gift was in recognition of the fact Brunansky’s solo home run off Montreal reliever Joe Hesketh, which made it 5-0 in the eighth, marked the eighth Straight season in which Brunansky has hit at’ least 20 homers. But it was Tewksbury who was the talk of the St. Louis clubhouse. A year ago in July, the 28-year-old right hander, who has an 11-13 career record in the majors, nine of which came with the New York Yankees in 1986, had ar throscopid surgery on his right arm.

He got Expos pitcher Mark Gardner to ground out with two out and the bases loaded in the second inning and coaxed Tim Wallach to rap into an inning-ending double play with runners at first and second in the sixth The Cardinals did some swinging against Gardner, 0- 2, in his second big-league start, but his first since a recall from Class AAA-Indianapolis earlier this month. They were especially proficient in the fourth inning, as Pedro Guerrero hammered his 17th homer and Brunansky and Todd Zeile added run-scoring singles Andy McGaffigan, who relieved Gardner in the sixth, yielded an RBI single to Tewksbury before Hesketh was victimized by Brunansky for his 20th homer in the eighth Expos notes: The Expos ended their season series against St. Louis with a $-13 record Hubie Brooks is hitless in his last 20 at-bats . . . the Expos left fora five-game road trip in Pittsburgh and New York following the game They have only one homestand left against Chicago starting next Monday a three-game series time,"" he said.
