When a director asked, “Is the product safe?” the answer after a long silence was, “I can't tell you.” “We know it isn’t safe,” said Duck, “and we have tried the appeal process before, and it hasn't worked, so let’s go for the big one once and for all. We are not going to back down, regardless.” Solicitors have informed Cady that seeking an injunction could cost $12,000 to $15,000. “If we find we can't do it, we will give grant-in-aid support to working groups,” he said. According to Pommier, since 1982 there have been 96 appeals, two of which resulted in cancelled permits and 15 modifications. Recent legislation has made the process even harder, including a $25 fee per appeal. “Appeals just made people feel better” because they could voice their objections, said Evans. “But they were a way to suck your energy to no avail.

Stumon has lined up at the wide end position in scrim- mages this week at the Can- adian Football League camp, possibly as a replacement for the injured James Parker. Parker, the CFL's top de- fensive player in 1986, will be sidelined until at least Sep- tember following knee sur. gery for an offseason injury. The Lions have veteran Tyrone Crews at middle line- backer and he's being chal- lenged by two impressive rookie imports, Eugene Seale of Lamar University in Texas and Jeff Braswell of Iowa State. Stumon, who replaced the injured Crews in the playoffs last year, has been learning the pass rushing training camp with a huge brace on his injured knee. Seale is a stocky linebacker at five-foot-10 and 250 pounds, but is blessed with exceptional quickness and surprising strength, said the B.C. coaching staff. During a scrimmage ses- son, Seale took on the lead blocker on a sweep play and put 300-pound guard Frank Frazier on the seat of his pants. Another area being wat- ched closely by the coaches is the defensive line, where several imports compete for the starting position occupied last season by Mike Gray. The import tackle went to the Ottawa Rough Riders in the offseason in the equali- zation draft. Sandy Armstrong, obtain- ed from the Montreal Alou- ettes, is competing against holdover Bennie Jones and Mike, (Turbo) Pailiferro _for the starting tackle of a defensive lineman from Parker, who hobbles around veteran Canadian lineman Rick Klassen. fornia reliever Gary Lucas walked Rob Ducey with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 4-3 victory Sat- urday over the Califor- nia Angels. Ernie Whitt had started the rally by snapping an 0-for-10° slump with a double into the right field corner to lead off the 10th inning. Kelly Gruber follow- ed with a single to left and went to second on a play to the infield. Pinch-hitter Cecil Fielder was walked i and the left fence to break up the no-hitter and shutout. Doug DeCinces then fol- lowed by sending a 1-1 pitch over the fence in left centre for his fourth homer of the year, tying the game 3-3. The only batter who had reached base through the first six innings was Down- ing, who drew a two-out walk in the first on four pitches.

Irish beat Canada SYDNEY (AFP) — Eng. land, Scotland and Ireland racked up 166 points between them in rugby's World Cup tournament Saturday as the quarter-final lineup began to take shape. England ran over Japan 60-7 — the most points it has ever scored in an_ inter- national, Scotland swept aside Zimbabwe 60-21 and Ireland beat Canada 46-19. Only the Ireland-Canada score was misleading. The Canadians were holding the much more experienced Irish to a 1919 draw for two- thirds of the mateh. But in the last 15 minutes the Irish cashed in on the tiring Can- adians and scored 27 points. Canada retains a slim chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals but to achieve that it will have to recharge its batteries and defeat Wales on Wednesday. The top two teams in each of four pools advance to the next round following the opening round-robin segment of the tournament. Key pitched a three-hitt through eight innings before giving way to Eichhorn start- ing the ninth. Key had a no- hitter until the seventh when he hit Wally Joyner, on the elbow, leading off the inning and Brian Downing followed y TV Paes ny at Bat Savings Account You'll save time, avoid yt! KS.
