Summer Games in Prince George Messier messing with Hawks CHICAGO (CP) — Centre Mark Lamb said Edmonton Oilers captain Mark Messier sent a quiet but un- mistakable message to the rest of the NHL club. “*He walked in to practice and he .was focused,"’ said Lamb. ‘‘When he walks in and he’s got that look in his eye, you know there's no stopping the guy.” Later Tuesday, Messier scored twice and set up two goals in,a 4-2 vic- tory over the Chicago Blackhawks to even the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Campbell Conference final at two games each. Game 5 is Thursday in Edmonton. “They couldn't stop him,” Lamb said of Messier. ‘*That's a big part of why this team has won four Stanley Cups and he wants another one bad. Capitals can't cope LANDOVER, Md. (CP) — frustrated. Capitals are “When you're down and you're not scoring gOals, you get frustrated,”” says Washington coach Terry Murray. ‘‘Then people start making too many individual”™~ plays because they feel they have to take charge and get us “‘With Boston's patience in the neutral zone, they're creating turnovers and getting chances. That's where people are getting frustrated.” It’s all a vicious circle for Washington, down 3-0 in its best-of-seven Wales Conference final against the Bruins. A Boston win in Game 4 tonight would give jt a sweep and a berth in the Stanley Cup final against fi the Chicago Blackhawks or Edmonton Oilers. The Cam- pbell Conference series is tied 2-2 following Edmonton’s 4-2 win Tuesday night over Chicago. The Capitals have a big, physical, defensive team. The Washington They hit the New Jersey Devils in the first round of the playoffs-and the Devils turned-to dust. They hit the New: York Rangers in the second round and they folded. The Capitals hit the Bruins and the Bruins bounce back up and get ready for the power play. Washington, albeit missing top defenceman Kevin Hatcher and scoring ace Dino Ciccarelli, managed only four goals against Andy Moog and the tight Boston defence in the first three games. Murray, whose team finished the regular season below .500 but made the conference final for the first time in team history, won't accept injuries as an excuse. He said he had only “six or eight" players doing as ‘ither well as in the New Jersey and Rangers series, but gave ample credit to the Bruins. “*They’re playing solid team hockey,’’ Murray said. “They can be down a goal going into the third period and come back.

World Cup calibre it isn't, but for those who love to play the game — without the hassles — they couldn't find a better team than the Castlegar Stars. The Stars — the name is probably a misnomer — men’s soccer team play in the West Kootenay Soccer League along with teams from Fruitvate, Grand Forks, Rossland, Trail and two from Nelson. Technically it’s a competitive league, but competitive doesn’t get any more chilled out than this And after four years playing the highly East Amaral coached the Stars for the last four years and that's one big dif- ference between that team and this year’s edition — this year the team doesn’t need a coach "No, we don’t really have a coach, we're just-a bunch of guys together, we just go out there and give it a try,”’ As for the players, Amaral said they're a mixed bag. ‘“*You don't have to be a professional to play in the league. If you can make it, you show up, if you can’t then you don’t have to phone or anything, you just don’t show up,”’ he said Local radio station disc jockey Gary Dee is one of those players and he -said-the Stars area tot tike the i league hockey teams in League, Carlos Amaral figures the players needed a break from that Jays release Flanagan TORONTO (CP) — Former Cy Young winner Mike Flanagan was released Tuesday by the Toronto Blue Jays and replaced by minor league pitcher Steve Cummings. The 38-year-old Flanagan, 2-2, struggled in the early part of the season with a 5.31 earned-run average. The left-hander joined the Blue Jays in 1987 and was 26-27 in regular-season play. The Jays, then in a pennant drive with the Detroit Tigers, traded Oswald Peraza and Jose Mesa, both right- handed pitchers, to the Orioles. Flanagan, 165-136 lifetime, was the Orioles’ seventh pick in the 1973 draft. Hé was 23-9 with a 3.09 ERA with Baltimore in 1979, the year he won the Cy Young award. Cummings, a right-hander, was 2-0 with an ERA of 3.00 in five appearances in 1989 with the Blue Jays. He was expected to make the club this season, but was cut at the end of spring training and repor- ted to Class AAA Syracuse. town during the winter. “It’s a fun league: ye play soccer then get together at the local establishment and talk about our ac- complishments of that game,’’ Dee said. If you think that type of attitude leads to complacency and ultimately life in Loserville, the Stars debunk that with a record of one win and tie so far this season. And just because it’s not a do-or- die situation doesn’t mean anybody wants to make a fool of themselves, especially Amaral, who as the team veteran at 48, knows some of the tricks of the trade. “*T usually play right wing or half back to stay out of trouble,’’ he said. “If I make a mistake or mis, the ball, there’s not too much trouble. Our team might not score but neither wilt theirs."* And make no mistake, these aren’t a bunch of plodders out there, CARLOS AMARAL . . veteran player Amaral said. “We do have some pretty good talented kids out there,”” he said Champs still looking By The Canadian Press Three days after Scott Sanderson and his wife celebrated the birth of their second child, the rebirth of his pitching career continued. Sanderson pitched 6 1-3 scoreless innings in the Oakland Athletics’ 5-0 victory Tuesday over the New York Yankees to improve his record to 4-1 and lower his éarned-run average to 2.50. Sanderson, 33, signed as a free agent with Oakland for $750,000 this Pirates are pi By The Canadian Press The Pittsburgh Pirates are in. first place in baseball’s National League East and manager Jim Leyland says he's never seen his team play better. “This was as aggressive as we've played since I’ve been here,”’ said Leyland, who became manager in 1986, after the Pirates’ 10-2 victory Tuesday night over the San Diego Padres. “‘We were getting the extra base and turning double plays. **That was picture baseball.’’ Mike LaValliere and Van Slyke homered and Walt Terrell earned his season after losing his starting job with the Chicago Cubs last season He'd gone 35-37 during the last five years. expos first victory for Pittsburgh, which won for the 10th time in its last 12 games.

Greg Hibbard (3-2) scattered seven hits through seven innings. John Cerutti (1-5) took the loss. Among them are three of Amaral’s own: Fernando, Alberto and Ivo. ow With me, that’s half a team right there,”’ he said. And hey, if you're the type who likes his soccer on the cool side, or if you want to be an all-star, the team has room, Amaral said. “If you feel like coming out and giving it a try, you feel welcome. We can sign as many people as we have, the more the better as far as I'm con- cerned.”” The team practises Tuesday nights at the Community Complex field and plays games every Wednesday and Sunday afternoons at the same field. There will also be international soc- cer at the Complex Saturday as two college teams from Spokane come to Castlegar to take on local squads. Game times are noon for the women’s game with the men to follow. good BREWERS 7 TIGERS 5 In Milwaukee, Rob Deer and Paul Molitor homered and reliever Paul Mirabella (1-0) pitched five scoreless innings for his first victory since Sept. 3, 1988.

METS 4GIANTS 1 Kevin McReynolds drew a bases- loaded walk from Rick Reuschel with two outs in the seventh to snap a 1-1 tie. The Mets added two runs in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Gregg Jef- feries and an RBI single by Dave Magadan.

The new Global league, which has 11 fran- chises in North America and Europe, plans to begin play Nov. 1 Barry Alter, owner of the Hamilton franchise in the Global league, said Tuesday he’s prepared to offer Lin- dros a one-year contract. **We know he wants to play in the NHL,” Alter said. ‘We're talking about paying him a respectable amount of money for one year with us. “*He’d make a helluva lot more than he'd make in junior hockey, he’d prepare himself better for the NHL, and there's really no downside to it “In a way, we'd be using him and he’d be using us and we'd both get something out of it."" Rick Curran, who represents Lin- dros, said he did not want to discuss next season while the Generals are in Memorial Cup play “This is the busiest week of the year,” Curran said. ‘‘Going into anything like this right now can only be disruptive. “We've not about to entertain of- fers of any kind at this time.’’ Alter said Lindros could do the same thing as did Wayne Gretzky Gretzky, a Brantford, Ont began his pro career in Indianapolis in the now-defunct World Hockey Association at age 17. Meanwhile, Alter, a Toronto businessman, said he’s been unable to work out a lease agreement with Cop- ps Coliseum in Hamilton and is con- templating moving the franchise to Toronto. He'd have his team play in either Varsity Arena or the CNE Coliseum. “We have about a month to work it all out,”” he said in a month, we have to know where we’re going to play.”’ The Global league holds its first player draft in June.
