INDUSTRY SPOKESMAN SAYS U.S. lumber limit unfair WASHINGTON (CP) — U. Canadian industry. Mike Apsey, president of the Council of Forest Product Industries of British Columbia, told U.S. traders who should not be penalized. He argued the strong U.S. dollar is the major culprit in reducing demand for U.S. lumber and rejected as inaccurate repeated U.S. contentions that Canadian producers are -S. efforts to limit imports of Canadian lumber should be abandoned because such a move could lead to a “protectionist shootout” and cost jobs on both sides of the border, says a leading spokesman for the lumbermen Tuesday that their Canadian counterparts are free and fair Safeway rumors not confirmed SEATTLE (AP) — Rumors of a takeover attempt, possibly by the First City group of Vancouver, detracts from service to so until ion be reality, shareholders of Safeway Stores Corp. shouldn't store's mission of serving unfairly benefitting from lower timber cutting costs, known as stumpage fees. “It (the U.S. dollar) is the single most important factor influencing Canadian lumber in the U.S. market today,” Apsey told a National Forest Products Association meeting. “Any analysis that fails to mention currency differences isn't selling a straight bill of goods.” Apsey also said U.S. lumbermen are wrong to think Canadians are cashing in on the woes of the American industry. The Canadian industry also suffered the effects of the 1982 recession and lost tens of thousands of jobs in the process. “Nevertheless, I can't help but get the impression that some U.S. producers still think we Canadians are sitting up there in the Great White North sipping champagne while our American counterparts go broke,” Apsey said Representatives of U.S. lumber companies charge that Canadian producers benefit from federal and provincial programs and therefore can export limber to the United States at lower prices than those charged by U.S companies. 'UED WARNING Apsey warned that imposing import restrictions could provoke a bitter round of retaliation and countermeasures. “The effects of such a protectionist shootout would be highly damaging to both our economies,” he said, noting that Canada is the most important trading partner of the United States and one of the largest buyers of U.S. manufactured goods. “Jobs gained or protected in one sector would be at the expense of jobs lost in another.” Apsey's comments were aimed at blunting the current campaign by U.S. lumbermen to either impose penalty duties on imports of Canadian lumber or restrict those imports to only 20 per cent of the U.S. market from the current level of about 30 per cent Several pieces of legislation along those lines have been introduced in the U.S. Congress.

Hawkins stretches record By The Canadian Press San Diego pitcher Andy Hawkins stretched his Na- tional League record to 7-0 Tuesday night and .then stretched imagination by complaining about his per- formance on the mound thi_ season. “T'm not as good as that 7-0 record,” Hawkins said after pitching five innings to de. feat visiting St. Louis Car. dinals 6-2. “I'm not making many good pitches. “T'm very hittable but I've got guys back there who can make the plays.” Hawkins gave up five hits, including bases-empty hom ers to Andy Van Slyke and Darrell Porter, before de- parting in the sixth after Jack Clark's leadoff single.

Whitaker leads Tigers to 4-1 win By The Canadian Press Detroit manager Sparky Anderson says major-league baseball is a big playground for Lou Whitaker. The all-star second base man was 3-for-4 Tuesday night and hit his fifth home run of the season to lead the Tigers to a 4-1 vietory over visiting Texas Rangers. “He's like a kid on the playground,” Anderson said of Whitaker. “He just wants to come and play “He doesn't want you to make all this big fuss about him. He doesn't care about statistics.” Whitaker's American League-leading batting aver: age climbed to .366. He drove in a pair of runs with his homer. Lance Par- rish scored Whitaker with a single and Tom Brookens scored on a sacrifice fly by Alan Trammell to account for the other Tigers runs. Texas manager Doug Ra der refused to discuss rumors that his job is on the line af. ter the Rangers dropped to 9-21 — worst in the league.

Bradford chairman Staf. ford Heginbotham said the club had been advised by league officials that it would be inappropriate to replay the game Sunday as planned because that date was too soon after the inferno that claimed 52 lives and des troyed the main stand of the Valley Parade stadium. The scoreless match, hal ted after 40 minutes, had been rescheduled by the two Third Division clubs for the nearby Rugby League ground of Bradford North ern. All proceeds were to go to a relief fund for relatives of the fire victims. Graham Kelly, secretary of the English League, ruled that Saturday's 08 score would stand. He also said plans were being discussed to form a team to play in a spec ial charity match for the ap peal fund. It was not yet known who would provide the opposition, he said. \ By JOHN KOROBANIK EDMONTON.(CP) -» Pitul Coffey, Jari Kurri ahd Wayne Gretzky, the heart and offence of the Edmonton Oilers, ded to their biggest of the seasor Tuesday with a record-shattering performance. The trio combined for six goals and 15 points to spark the Oilers to a 10-5 whipping of Chicago Black Hawks. That put Edmonton within a vietory of finally subduing the stubborn Hawks in their best-of-seven National Hockey League Stanley Cup semifinal. The Oilers knew they needed an explosive showing from the trio after they were kept well in check in two Hawk victories in “Everyone just did our own job,” said Kurri, who had three goals and two assists after failing to score in Chicago. “We were a little nervous before the game. But after the first period we felt happy, comfortable.” They weren't in a comfortable position, however, tied 3-3. Edmonton needed two goals by Kurri and one by Mike Krushelnyski to offset the first three of five Chicago power-play goals. What was evident after the period, however, was that the Oilers were getting the skating room they needed. They fired 17 shots at goaltender Murray Bannerman, their offence was flowing better and Coffey, a prime candidate for the Conn Smythe Trophy, was having little trouble moving the puck up ice. “There's a little more rink here, you have a chance to wind up,” said Coffey. He wound up with a goal and five assists, the most points in a playoff game by a defencemen. His ninth goal and 25th point tied playoff records for defencemen. ASSUME CONTROL Coffee drew assists on three of the four second-period goals the Oilers scored to assume control of the game after the Hawks had scored early to take a 4-3 lead. Mark Messier scored 21 seconds after Denis Savard scored Chicago's fourth power-play goal and then the Oilers pulled away with two goals by Wayne Gretzky and Kurri’s third. “We looked tired tonight,” said Chicago coach Bob Pulford, who got into a heated discussion with NHL security officials outside the referee's room after the WALES FINAL QUEBEC (CP) — The Detroit Connection struck again for Philadelphia on Tuesday night, driving Quebec to the brink of elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Murray Craven and Joe Paterson, acquired from the Red Wings last fall, each scored for the Flyers in a 2-1 vietory over the Nordiques, giving Philadelphia a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Wales Conference final. A victory at home Thursday night would send the Flyers to the NHL final for the first time since 1980. Both goals — the third of the playoffs for each player — came in the third period, the only one in which the Flyers mounted any real attack. Paterson scored on the power play one minute into the period; Craven scored the winner at 15:01. Mark Howe set up the first with a pass from the right corner and contributed to the second by clearing the puck from the Flyers’ zone, sending Brian Propp and Craven on a two-on-two. “It wasn't a pretty game and we played poorly in the first and second periods, but we did come back in the third and did what we had to do to win,” Howe said. SAUVE SCORES Jean-Francois Sauve had staked the Nordiques to a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 7:02 of the second period. For a time, that looked like all Quebec would need. The Flyers squandered six minutes of power play in the first period, including a four-minute advantage while Dale Hunter sat out a double minor. They managed a single shot during the six minutes and didn’t have possession of the puck in the Quebec zone during the four-minute stretch. “I thought we had a good first four minutes (of the game), then they took the play completely away from us,” said Flyers’ captain Dave Poulin. “We were very fortunate to win.” Goalie Pelle Lindbergh, who had been suspect in Quebec's 5-3 victory in Game 4 in Philadelphia on Sunday night, prevented the Nordiques from cashing most of their good scoring chances. He stopped Anton Stastny, set up in front by brother Oilers trio sparks | team to 10-5 win ~ "We stayed in the game for almost, two periods but Reco sé :tads eck ecbtatvenses cad they Mohan Oat The Hawks had defencemen Keith Brown and Doug Wilson back but they didn't get the performance from their muckers that they did in Chicago. Instead, it was the Oilers who did. While Gretzky, Coffey and Kurri sparked the offence, checkers like Dave Hunter and Kevin McClelland and Willy Lindstrom kept the Hawk shooters under control. “A lot of times guys on our team try to do something they aren't paid to do,” said Gretzky, who had two goals _and four péints. “Tonight everybody did what they are paid to do.” Once Edmonton shook loose of the Hawks near the midway point in the game, they turned it into a rout similar to the 11-2 decision in Game 1. They scored seven consecutive times before Darryl! Sutter's second goal of the night ended the scoring with less than 90 seconds remaining. HAWES DID BETTER Although they didn’t take advantage of some questionable officiating by referee Bob Myers as well as Chicago did, the Oilers did score two power-play goals. Myers handed out 132 penalty minutes, including seven misconducts. “I really don't think he had any idea what was going on out there,” Pulford said of Myers. Pulford’s assessment of Myers was echoed by Edmonton coach Glen Sather. “If I was the supervisor of officials I would be very upset,” Sather said. “What happened out there is a reflection on the supervisor because they chose these guys.” Troy Murray and Steve Larmer scored the other Chicago goals. Hunter and Lee Fogolin also scored for Edmonton. Kurri tied the playoff record for most three-goal games in one playoff year with his third. The Oilers’ 10 goals gave them 36 in the five games, breaking the record for most goals in one series, and the seven power-play goals equalled the record for most in a e. me. Game 6 will be played Thursday in Chicago. Flyers take 3-2 lead Peter and Michel Goulet in the seventh minute of the opening period; and Paul Gillis, who came in on a two-on-one with Wilf Paiement in the 12th minute. Lindbergh turned back 30 of 31 shots he faced. “We had full confidence that Pelle would bounce back with a big game and that’s exactly what he did,” said Flyers coach Mike Keenan. MICHEL SEETHING Quebee coach Michel Bergeron was seething after the game. He showed reporters videotaped replays of some calls and non-calls by referee Kerry Fraser. “Look at that spearing, they have to call that, but they never called it,” shouted Bergeron, referring to a pla; ing Flyers Ed on Peter Stastny in the first period. Hospodar broke his stick on the play. Stastny cross checked Hospodar in the back of the head early in the third in retaliation. “Look at that,” Bergeron demanded, viewing Flyers defenceman Doug Crossman holding a Quebec player's stick. “Now you know why we have to score goals with our feet, because they won't let us use our sticks.” An apparent tying goal by Michel Goulet at 17:50 of the third period that was disallowed by Fraser who ruled Goulet kicked the puck past Lindbergh. That call enraged Stastny. “It’s almost impossible to wait for a hard-driven pass and kick it into the net,” Stastny said. “No way. “The guy was holding his stick and he got a hard-driven pass from behind the net that bounced in off his leg — that’s a goal.” Stastny was asked whether league officials were trying to prevent an all-Canadian final. “T've got a strong feeling about it, I'm sorry to say so,” he said Bergeron said referees have lost control of playoff games his teams have been involved in. “It's the fifth game in a row we've been asking for discipline,” he said. “Some of our players are frustrated “Something bad will happen in the next game if they don't do something.” CFL players receive awards TORONTO (CP) — Win nipeg speedster Willard the season second in pass re Reaves and Hamilton all purpose back Rufus Craw ford were named the Cana. 1,486 yards, was named out standing receiver vyn Fernandez, who finished ceiving with 89 catches for while of Saskatchewan was named recipient of the Tom Pate Memorial Trophy for sports manship and contribution to his peers, community and Passing — Tom Clements; Winnipeg Montreal; Joe Barnes, Toronto (now with Calgary); Rushing — Dwaine Wilson, Willard Reaves, dian Football League's out- standing offensive back and special teams player respec tively by their peers Tuesday night at the CFL Players’ Association annual dinner.
