Bryn Smith, who gave up three hits and one run in five innings, was the winning pit- and with three hits, opening the game with a double and reaching third on an in-field out. Andre Dawson followed with a soft bouncer and Rai- nes appeared to be trapped off third base, but Davis threw to first, allowing the run to score. An inning later, Vance Law. singled with one out, stole second, went to third on @ ground out and scored on a wild pitch. The Expos got their final run in the fourth when Hubie Brooks scored on a squeeze bunt by Law. Brooks and Law both had two hits. JAYS 6 PHILLIES 4 DUNEDIN, FLA. (CP) — Non-roster outfielder Rick Leach hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to break a 44 tie and give Toronto Blue Jays a 64 exhibition baseball win Saturday over Philadelphia Phillies. Leach, who is trying to make the Blue Jays after being the final cut last year, had his third game-winning RBI this spring. The win improved Toron- to’s Grapefruit League rec- ord to 12-8 while visiting Philade|phia slipped to 10-9. The Phillies went up 1-0 in the top of the third ona triple by John Russell and a groundout by Steve Jeltz. They added their second run im the fourth on a triple by Glenn Wilson and an RBI single by Von Hayes. The Jays came back with a single run in the fourth on singles by Rance Mulliniks and Ernie Whitt. Mulliniks scored when Garth lorg grounded into a double play. Toronto tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning with x solo run on singles by Jesse Barfield, Cecil Fielder and an RBI single by Whitt. REDS 5 CARDINALS 1 TAMPA, FLA. (AP) — Eric Davis and Ron Oester had two hits apiece and each drove in a run Saturday to lead Cincinnati Reds to a 5-2 vietory over St. Louis.Car. dinals. Reds starter Mario Soto, 2-2, overcame wildness in his six innings, allowing six hits and the Cardinals’ only run. Soto walked five and fanned four, permitting a Cardinal runner to reach second base in five of his six innings. Frank Pastore and Ted Power retired the last nine Cardinals in order to improve Cincinnati's spring record to 12-10. The Cardinals are 9-10. Davis led off the Reds’ first inning with a solo homer off Kurt Kepshire, 1-2, who al- lowed six hits and one earned run in five innings. It was Davis's team-high fifth spring homer. Mize streaks to lead PONTE VEDRA, FLA. (AP) — Larry Mize stalked away from the field with a six-under-par 66 and, with a record-setting pace, estab- lished a four-stroke lead Sat- urday in the third round of golfs Tournament Players Championship.

FEE: Club in 200, 16 strokes under par. That's one stroke better than the old 54-hole record for this event, and two better than the record on this course, now the permanent site for the annual champion- ship of golf's touring pros. And it puts him within range of the 72-hole course record, 14-under-par 274, set last year by Calvin Peete. Mize is 16-under after three rounds. Only John Mahaffey could keep him in sight — and it took another record to do that. Mahaffey, a former PGA titleholder, coaxed a seven- under-par 65 from the gusty, shifting winds and completed three rounds at 204. “This is about as good a round as I've ever played,” said Mahaffey, 37, now in his 16th season on the tour. ONE OFF RECORD It also was the best third- round score in the tour- SPRING AUTO CLEAN-UP TIM * Polishes nament's history and only one off the 18-hole record. Even with that superlative effort, however, Mahaffey made up only one shot on Mize, who presented the threat of making this a run. away. Mahaffey, unconcerned lead, “It's much too early in the game to be scoreboard-wat. ching,” he said. “You don't start looking at the score- board until about the 16th hole tomorrow.” No one else was within eight strokes of the runaway leader going into today’s final round of the chase for a $162,000 first prize. Tim Simpson, who played well before the winds reach- ed peak strength, had a 66 that put him in third at 208. however, was about Mize's lead with Mize after two rounds then slipped to a 74. Tom Kite and Brett Upper were next at 209. Kite had a 72 and Upper shot 73. Dick Mast and Doug Tewell fol- lowed at 210. Mast shot 68, also before the winds reached full strength, and Tewell shot 74. Lee Trevino, a former winner of this title, had a 70 and was well back at 211. Dave Barr of Richmond, carded a 73 and was at 214. Dan Halldorson of Brandon, Man., and Richard Zokol of Vancouver both missed the cut Friday. Tom Watson could do no better than 74 and was at 218. Mize, who has led or shared the lead all the way, both opened and closed with a rush. He birdied two of his “I wanted to get my feet wet for next year and as far as I'm concerned, I've accomplished that,” Douris said. “I'm comfortable with all the guys. “I haven't played much, but at least I know what to expect out there so next year I'll be that much more at ease.” Douris, who doesn't travel with the team on road trips, is adamant that it would be wrong to say his time with Winnipeg has been a waste. Olympic team general manager and coach Dave King, although politely discreet, would argue otherwise. “The things kids have to realize is that there is a risk in leaving any program,” King said. “When they're leaving our program to go to the NHL they're leaving a good opportunity.” MOVED TOO QUICKLY King, who has watched talent-thin NHL squads siphon off many of his prized players, said Douris would have done well to stay with the Olympic team and work on expanding his puck handling and skating skills. “They have to learn there's an investment to their careers and that time of investment is very, very from he admits that it is hard to maintain a competitive edge without regular play. Jets’ assistant coach Rick Bowness said he does not envy, Doyris’s, plight. “It's a tough situation for him,” Bowness said. “He's a victim of our situation. “We have no complaints about Peter Douris, but now is not the time to try new things out.” Perhaps King has the best perspective on Douris's failure to make it in the NHL. “It's just get there as fast as you can and hope like hell you survive. A lot of kids have to learn they have to invest more time because getting there is not as tough as staying there.” Weekend Wrap-Up jwouraupue=se % S8aes- 2 exuass szzee~ bert £32 98358 ESBEIE ESSER eocee sessse 8338s- i 88 aE | oh abage? eesei sezss Tye 3 uesss sssezy ii f i posses SLoLISESSE> Teveues 7 6 oT New Jersey 118 07 Vis Houston 100 indians 92 COMMUNITY NEWS Editor's note: The following is a letter from Teresa Lamb of Castlegar, a Rotary exchange student in Tokyo, Japan. Dear Rotary: Hello! How are you all doing? I'm really enjoying myself here. I suppose this will seem like past news (at least it does to me), but I'll start where I left off last letter. I must apologize for not writing sooner, but as you'll soon be able to tell, I've been very busy! On Dee. 15, I went to Mr.Harada’s house. He is one of my elub’s Rotarians. When | arrived | was surprised to see everyone at work, making “o-mochi” — a paste of rice — in an outdoor, oven contraption (the best word to describe it.) When it was done, it was taken out and put into put into a hollowed out log. Next a large hammer made of wood was used to pound the living daylights out of it. (It’s a\/ heavy hammer.) I also had my chance at it and boy, was it pathetic. If it hadn't been for everyone else being there, I would have taken all day to get it to the desired texture. After it was pounded, it was eaten with Japanese radish or with oneb (very sweet). The radish was a main course and the anco was a dessert. It was delicious, but very fattening! In order to lose some weight we visited the natural museum of Kiyose. Then since there was a kitchen at the museum, where they had just finished making o-mochi and which we just had to sample, so we went bowling and to pachinko to lose weight again. Pachinko is almost like a vertical pinball machine without the bumpers. The idea is to get one or more of the little balls into one of two ridiculously small holes , which have tiny nails about them to make it more difficult. When we were finished, (I had gone through two trays of my own money plus one tray of my host sister's winnings), we went bowling. By this time we were getting tired, so we returned home where I found a surprise waiting for me. Mr. Harada's oldest daughter (university) plays the Koto. It looks like a very long guitar, or at least a board with a lot of guitar strings on it. Anyway she taught me how to play jingle bells, and then they dressed me up in a kimono (my first time) and took pictures of me playing it. It was an interesting day, to say the least. On Dec. 17, the Tokyo Rotary Christmas party was held. I had expected mostly exchange students and their between the 12th and 16th. My English was good, but after that, well .. . I did as well as many of them did, but, not as well as I would have had I understood what half of the questions were about! After we were finished on the 19th, I attended a small party given by the English club. We spent most of our time eating, listening to music and mes. On the 21, my host family (the Orimoto's) took me and two friends to a French restaurant. Luckily I ordered for myself because they were all set to give me the most expensive item on the menu — steak — which was about $50. I ordered pigeon and caviar — a very delicious meal. On the 22nd1 moved to the Hayashi's. That evening was the Rotary Christmas party for my club. We ate, played games, and sang the Rotary song — an experience in itself. Whenever Rotarians get together in Japan they must sing the Rotary song, which means everyone has to get in a big circle and hold hands while they sing. I think this letter is getting longwinded, so I'll try and use less detail. be John Charters... Reflections POUNDING DINNER .. .

We went out for lunch and then did some shopping. Then when I arrived home, received some Christmas presents from the Hayashi's. On the 26th of December, all’ of the exchange students and I went to Akakura, a ski resort in the On the 23th I went to my y club's Chris party. It was like the English clubs, with lots of food, singing and games. On the 24th all (or almost all) of the exchange students went to Dean Capstick's (Hope, B.C.) host family’s house for a party. There we ate, sang and played games. We also did a lot of talking. Then we all trooped , off to church. (Dean's host mother’s). We were surprised to find it to be a Russian Orthodox church, with stained glass windows, Russian and Japanese and with a Japanese bishop. It was a different Christmas Eve. On Christmas I woke up early. No, not to dash to the Christmas tree, but to school. We didn’t do much just sang the school song, and cleaned up before holidays. When I was finished, I went to Ikebukuro and met Mrs. Alps. I couldn't ski because of my leg, but I went along for the snow (there is still no snow in Tokyo). It was there that I first experienced the “o-furo,” or the public bath. It's segregated into male and female areas, of course, but I'll never understand why in school, they go through such contortions to get into P.E. clothes, so that no onesees them with less than a T-shirt and track pants; yet they'll go stark naked in front of complete strangers to take a bath. Oh well. On the 29th I left for yet another ski trip, to Bandai mountain. Here we ran into one small problem — lack of snow. We ended up touring more samurai houses and temples than skiing hills! But I returned home on New Year's day with a lot of nice souvenirs. All during New Years, which lasts until the 7th or was a lot of food and talking. On the 12th I had a volleyball game, and I'm happy understand all of the tricks). For the next while, we're doing “marathon’ class. This consists of running for half an hour, kilometres, whichever comes first. On February we do a seven-kilometre run so I won't. be at four kilos for During my time at Morihara’s, I haven't done much on weekdays, but boy, have my weekends been full. On the 23rd I attended a magic show. It was the university competition finals, and the skill level was very high to say the least. On the 26th I went to tea they're like cities. In old Japan, Kamakura was a summer resort; therefore in winter the priests had to be self-sufficient, so the temple grounds were like small cities. There is a bridge in the middle of Kamakura that is so steep that only people with very good grips can climb it without holding on to the edge. Children slide down from the top. Last weekend was my monthly Rotary meeting, and a party with my host sister's friends. Like all parties, as I'm sure you're beginning to realize, there was food, music, games, more food and more games. It was a lot of fun. Yesterday was what my host mother called “Japanese Halloween.” The children came with ogre masks and people threw peanuts at them. It's meant to signify the cleansing of your heart and house of monsters.
