Wolf
hunting
closed

The Ministry of Environ-
ment and Parks has closed
the wolf hunting and trap-
ping seasons in the Flathead
Valley and Wigwam River
watershed in the Kootenay
Region.

The seasons have been
closed after determining that
no more wolves could safely
be removed from wolf packs
in the two areas, covered by
Management Units 4-1 and
4-2, without endangering
wolf recovery efforts south of
the border.

No wolves were taken
from the international pack,
known locally as the Camas
pack, which moves freely be-
tween B.C. and Glacier Na-
tional Park, Montana.

Hunting and trapping of
wolves in these areas had
been permitted to ensure a

Stock marke

wipes out surplus.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, (AP) —
Picking up the pieces from the 24-day
players’ strike, National Football
League owners hope they can restart
negotiations with the union to forestall
new repercussions such as the possi-
bility of postponing the two-team ex-
pansion scheduled for 1989.

But the union isn't interested and
the stock market problems of the last
two weeks, which the Management
Council says has wiped out $39 million
‘of the $40-million pension fund surplus,
may add a new snag to the league's
labor problems.

At their annual fall meeting
Tuesday, the owners did little to
recoup from the strike, voting only to
maintain a 50-man roster for the rest of
the regular season — with 45 allowed
to dress for any game.

They also gave teams all eight free
moves off injured reserve they were
supposed to have from the start of the
season, meaning that in effect, they
have 18 extra players.

But a much ballyhooed proposal to
split the season or add teams to the

playoffs never came up — it barely had
more than one vote let alone the 21 it
needed to be .

‘The owners approved two exhibi-

Goteborg, Sweden, on Aug. 12 or 13,
‘The other will be the Cleveland Browns
vs. New York Jets in Montreal the next

Bears and the Dallas Cowboys played
two years ago and the Los Angeles
Rams and the Denver Broncos played
last year.

And there was talk of trying to
resume negotiations on a new contract
with the NFL Players Association,
which filed an antitrust suit seeking
free agency and an end to the draft at
the same time it sent its players back
to work Oct. 15.

Jack Donlan, the executive di-
rector of the Management Council and
the owners’ chief negotiator, said he

hopes to be back in touch next week
with union head Gene Upshaw.
Commissioner Pete Rozelle hisited

in 1989.

However, the union said it isn’t
interested in resuming talks unless the
owners changed their position on major
issues. And the pension problems may
have compounded the problem.

Donlan said “the last time I
checked” what had once been a $40-mil-
lion surplus in the pension fund was
reduced to $1 million by losses from the
fund's stock market investments.

The owners have been offering to
add $37 million to the fund, but $18
million of that is money the owners
never put in and is in contention in a
lawsuit.

The Dow Jones average of 30 in-
dustrials, used as the main indicator of
the U.S. stock market's health, has 30
per cent of its value this month.

to lose

WINNIPEG (CP) — Des-
pite rock concerts, a lottery
and a winning record, the
CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bomb-
ers will still lose money this
year, but general manager
Cal Murphy refuses to spec-
ulate on how much.

“I don’t know what we're
going to lose,” Murphy said
Tuesday. “I don't even want
to talk about we're going to
lose.”

Some observers estimate
the loss will be at least
$200,000.

The Bombers, who lead the
East Division with a 11-5
record, were staggered by a
$155,000 loss last year, bring-
ing their accumulated debt to
$189,000.

money

cocted several promotions to
raise money and attract fans
this season.

There were three pre-
game concerts, including one
by the pop group Miami
Sound Machine, that helped
attract 31,655 fans to the
92,946-seat Winnipeg Stad-
ium for a game Oct. 4 against
the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

A lottery, offering more
than $150,000 in prizes, was
announced in early Septem-
ber in hopes of adding
$200,000 to team coffers. But
ticket sales have been poor.

Marketing and off-field
promotions are important for
the survival of all football
teams, whether in the United
States or Canada, said Mur-
phy.

Murphy expects the team
to make between $300,000
and $400,000 in television
revenues this year, largely
from the newly formed Can-
adian Football Network.
That's a far cry from the $1.3
million the team received in
1986.

An aggressive selling pro-
gram over the winter re-
sulted in a season-ticket base
of just over 17,300.

Rodgers credits Expos

MONTREAL (CP) — Buck Rodgers says it was an
organizational effort by the Montreal Expos that resulted in
his selection as National League manager of the year.

‘The Expos stayed in the NL East race until the final
week of the season, finally finishing four games behind the
division-champion St. Louis Cardinals and one game back of
the second-place New York Mets.

In his third season as Expos manager, Rodgers received
92 points from a 24-man committee of the Baseball Writers
Association of America, easily defeating runner-up Roger
Craig of San Francisco, who had 65 points.

Whitey Herzog of the St. Louis Cardinals finished third
in the balloting with 54 points. Others receiving votes were
Davey Johnson of the Mets and Jim Leyland of the Pitts-

burgh Pirates.

a bodgers was the only manager named on all ballots. He
col 18 first-place votes, eight for second and three for
third. Points were awarded on a 5-3-1 basis.

“T'm getting the credit, but really it was a complete
effort by the entire organization,” said Rodgers, who was
ible for moulding and motivating the Expos into a

con! team.
“We had a great chemistry that allowed us to get
through a lot of adversity,” he said.
LOST STARS

Between seasons, Montreal lost slugging outfielder
Andre Dawson to the Chicago Cubs via free agency and
traded relief ace Jeff Reardon to the Minnesota Twins.
Outfielder Tim Raines also became a free agent and did not
re-sign with the team until the season was almost a month
old.

“It’s been very satisfying,” Rodgers said in a telephone
interview from California. “Especially the one from The
Sporting News because that's the one your peers vote on.

Rodgers joined Gene Mauch in 1978 and Dick Williams
in 1979 as Expos pilots who have won the award. It also
came at a time when he is negotiating a new contract with
Montreal.

But Rodgers said the award shouldn't play much of a
role in the negotiations, which he says are virtually
complete.

“We're pretty well agreed on most things, there are just
a few things dangling,” Rodgers said. “We should finish
thigs up within the next week or 10 days.” .

WAS CATCHER ‘

A catcher for nine seasons with the California Angels,
Rodgers became the seventh manager of the Expos on Nov.
14, 1984, when he took over a fifth-place club that had
finished five games under .500 and 18 games out of first
place in the previous season.

He began his managerial career with Salinas of the
California League in 1975. He managed El Paso to the Texas
League title in 1977, then got Kis first shot at a major-league'\\*
managerial job in 1980, replacing‘ the ailing George Bam:
berger with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Mid-Week Wrap-up

Still the Expos’ record of 91-71 was a vast imp
over 1986, when Montreal finished fourth with a 78-83 mark.
It was the fourth manager-of-the-year award given
Rodgers in recent weeks.
