as Castlégar News July 20, 1988 MANDELA'S RELEASE Party hit for weakening CAPE TOWN (REUTER) The far-right Conservative party accused the South African government of backing down on conditions for re leasing 70-year-old black nationalist leader Nelson Mandela from prison. Clive Derby-Lewis, spokesman for the party, condemned Information Minister Stoffel van der Merwe for saying Monday, Mandela's 70th birthday, that renouncing violence is no longer a precondition for his releas “They (the white-minority govern ment) are dodging their original standpoint,” Derby-Lewis said. “At one stage, they were adamant that under no circumstances would any one be, released they re nounced violence. Now they are weakening in their position.” Dozens of countries, including Canada, the United States, the Soviet Union, China, West Germany unless and Britain, have appealed to Pres. ident P.W. Botha to free Mandela, the African National Congress leader who has been in jail since 1962 and was jailed for life in 1964 for plotting revelution. Today, Israel, which has close links with South Africa, joined the clamor for Mandela's release Interviewed by state-run tele vision, van der Merwe said it would not be to South Africa's advantage to release Mandela now. But he said Mandela's case is constantly under review DROP CONDITION Asked whether the government might drop the condition that Man. dela renounce violence, van der Merwe said: “There is a complex set of circumstances that should be con sidered and express set of circum stances that should be considered and an express renunciation of vio lence is not the deciding factor,” Mandela rejected Botha's 1985 offer of freedom if he renounced violence. Derby-Lewis, whose Conservative party is rapidly gaining support, from whites unhappy about the govern ment's tentative reforms of . the official apartheid racial separation system which denies blacks the vote, said Mandela should be grateful that he could celebrate his 70th birthday at all. “For high treason, most countries normally sentence people to death . . The man is a criminal. Had he succeeded in what he planned to do he would have murdered hundreds, possibly thousands, of citizens of South Africa.” The ANC, now based in Zambia, is the biggest black guerrilla group in the struggle against Pretoria rule.

They ran the car's serial number through the computer to see if it was stolen and it turned up negative. Hannah said the vehicle wasn't registered as stolen because police at Portage La Prairie made a mistake when entering the car on the national police computer system. “There appears to have been a glitch in the system,” he. said. “Someone entered a wrong number when registering the vehicle as stolen.” Regina police eventually bought the car from the Club Towing com pound for training purposes. “Our guys checked out the list of vehicles Club Towing had for sale and jus tpicked out this old clunker,” one officer said Two years later they resold it and, after a number of different owners, it ended up in Letourneau's driveway.

But he was vic- timized by a strong performance from Houston starter Mike Scott, 9-2, and a couple of his own mistakes. The first miscue was in the sixth inning when Perez threw Glenn Davis one of his “pascualball” blooper pitches, a pitch that's embarrassed a number of NL hitters this season. This time it was Perez who was embarrassed as Davis timed it and after double striding, blasted it into the left-field seats for his 21st homer. “I guess you could say he went to the well once too often because the guy hit it out,” said Expos manager Buck Rodgers. “But those are just the breaks.” The second Perez mistake, set up by Expos shortstop Luis Rivera's throwing error, resulted in what proved to be the deciding run for Houston in the seventh. Rivera had plenty of time on a routine bouncer by Rafael Ramirez, but fired wildly for a two-base error. Ramirez went to third on an infield out and scored when Perez threw a wild pitch with two outs and Scott batting. The Astros jumped on Perez quickly in the first inning when Gerald Young hit his first pitch for a triple and scored on Terry Puhl's one-out single. Montreal tied it when Nelson San tovenia doubled home Hubie Brooks in the second, but the Astros re- gained the lead when Davis doubled home Puhl in the fourth. Davis upped the lead to 3-1 with his homer on the “pitch” in the sixth inning. “It's not the kind of pitch I'd throw in that situation, but then again, I'm not Perez,” said Scott, who yielded six hits and struck out 11 batters in 8 2-3 innings to win for the first time since June 16. The Expos did get one back in the seventh when Tim Wallach scored from third on Santovenia's infield out, and engineered a last-gasp rally that just fell short with two down in the ninth. Scott quickly retired Brooks and Wallach, but Tom Foley doubled and went to third on Santovenia’s infield single. That brought on Dave Smith, who balked home Foley before inducing Wallace Johnson to bounce out to first to end the game and pick up his 16th save. EXPOS NOTES: The Expos have failed to sign a highly touted pros- pect from Quebec for the second straight year. After watching left- handed pitcher Denis Boucher sign with Toronto last season, Montreal saw Mark Griffin, a slugging first baseman from Ste-Foy sign for about $100,000 US with Los Angeles on Tuesday. “We were outbid,” said Expos president Claude Brochu. “$100,000 is too expensive for a pub- lie relations move.” Bantams are second in province The Castlegar Petro Can bantam girl's softball team placed second at the B.C. bantam girl's softball cham- pionships in Nanaimo over the week. end. The team lost the final game 3-2 to Burnaby on Sunday after losing just one other game earlier in the tour- nament. The team is expected back in Castlegar this week. € D) Kootenay Savings FAST START . . . David Shingler (lane 1) of the Robson River Otters dives into the pool to get underway in his 50-metre fly event at a swim meet in Colville over the weekend NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson and his estranged manager, Bill Cayton, said Tuesday they are hopeful they can agree this week to allow Tyson to face Frank Bruno on Sept. 3 in London. The agreement, if reached, would also postpone until a fall trial, the issue of whether Cayton will manage Tyson until 1992, when the contract which Cayton claims to have. will expire. During six hours of conferences and negotiations in New York State Supreme Court, the lawyers met twice with Justice David Edwards Jr. The judge announced late in the day that the proceeding would recess until Thursday. “Let the record show that the at torneys for the parties have been in conference with the court this after. noon in an attempt to resolve some of the differences,” Edwards said from the bench. Court was in session for less than 30 minutes in the six hours. FIGURES RELEASED Meanwhile, documents released in connection with the court battle with Cayton showed that Tyson had net worth of $5 million US when 1988 began and earned $7 million last year. Tyson spent $1.4 million last year, including $228,627 on apartments, $219,819 on jewelry, $178,314 on clothes and $71,708 on limousine and car rental. He spent $1,334 on Christmas expenses, $22,222 on air- fares, and $864 on his dog. Reds bounce Mets The Canadian Press Ron Darling felt like the victim of a quick heavyweight knockout. He gave up homers to Chris Sabo and Eric Davis to launch a 10-run first inning Tuesday night that carried the Cincinnati Reds to an 11-2 National League baseball victory over the New York Mets. Darling, 10-6, lasted just two-thirds of an inning, giving up six runs before he got anybody out. It was the shortest outing of his six-year major-league career. “Now I know how Michael Spinks feels,” Darling said. “It wasn’t fun out there.” The Reds sent 15 batters to the plate in the first against Darling and reliever Terry Leach. The Reds benefitted from two Mets errors in the inning including Darryl Strawberry’s misplay of a routine fly ball with the bases loaded and two out that let three runs score, turning a rally into a rout. Darling accepted all the blame. “If ever there was a loss where the pitcher counted for the entire loss, it was this one by me,” he said. “Thank God it only counts for one loss, not two.” The magnitude of the first-inning rally sent scorekeepers scurrying for comparisons. Cincinnati's first-inning outburst was five runs shy of the modern-day league record for first-inning scoring. The Brooklyn Dodgers scored 15 runs against the Reds in the first inning on May 21, 1952. ALLOWS RUNS "The Reds’ last 10-run inning was May 4, 1985 in a game against the Mets. The Mets’ record for most runs allowed in an inning is 11, scored by the Houston Astros during a 16-3 victory at Shea Stadium on July 30, 1969. It got so nasty for Darling that he couldn't even get out Reds starter Jose Rijo, 11-4, who had never gotten a major-league hit. Rijo singled as part of the first-inning rally, then extended the Mets’ em barrassment into the second inning, when he hit his first homer off Leach. In other NL games Tuesday night, it was: Houston 4, Montreal Expos 3; San Francisco Giants 8, Chicago Cubs 1; Philadelphia Phillies 6, Atlanta Braves 4; St. Louis Cardinals 3, Los Angeles Dodgers 2; and San Diego Padres split their doubie header with Pittsburgh beating the Pirates 6-2 in the first before losing 9-5 in the second. Darling was charged with nine runs — five earned — five hits and three walks. He also threw a wild pitch. His previous shortest outing was Sept. 19, 1984 in Philadelphia, when he lasted just 1 1-3 innings in a 13-5 loss. The right-hander gave up five hits and six runs, five of them earned, in that game. -He went at least-seven innings in 15 of his 19 previous starts this season, with four complete games and three shutouts. GIANTS 3 CUBS 1 Rick Reuschel pitched a no-hitter for six innings and doubled to start a two-run fifth inning as San Francisco broke a five game losing streak PHILLIES 6 BRAVES 4 Chris James and Juan Samuel hit two-run homers and Kevin Gross won his first game since June 17 as Philadelphia defeated Atlanta. Gross, 9-6, who had lost four straight, allowed three runs on three hits in 6 1-3 innings. PADRES 6 PIRATES 2 Junior Ortiz drove in three runs, includ two-run single in Pittsburgh's five-run third inning, and Brian Fisher, 6-6, won as a starter for the first time since May 21 as the Pirates defeated San Diego to split its doubleheader Pittsburgh won for the 10th time in 11 games to close within 11/2 games of East Division-leading New York. Jimmy Jones pitched a six-hitter and Tony Gwynn had three hits and the-tiebraking RBlas the Padres ended Pittsburgh's nine-game winning streak — the longest in the NL this season — in the opening game. CARDINALS 3 DODGERS 2 Jose DeLeon, 6-7, scattered six hits for seven innings as St. Louis gained only its second victory in 12 games. Mike Laga, Ozzie Smith and Terry Pendleton each drove in a run for St. Louis, which snapped the Dodgers’ six-game winning streak despite scoring three runs or less for the 12th consecutive game, According to an 's re- port by Kaufman Greenhut Lebowitz and Forman, Tyson had $265,886 in cash on Dec. 31. He had an additional $1,213,552 in a cash management ac. count with Merrill Lynch and $1,466,652 in tax exempt securities. Tyson owned automobiles worth $241,007 and invested ‘in sinigle pre- mium life insurance policies worth $2 million. His net worth was $5,187,097. Tyson . made $6,737,686 from fights last year and additional in. come of $191,015 from Reel Sports, presumably from promotional work. He made $127,381 in interest and dividend income. A lack of financial disclosure has been cited by Tyson’s new advisers as a reason for severing ties with Cayton, who co-managed Tyson with Jimmy Jacobs’ until Jacobs’ death on March 23.
