Bullpen makes di:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When the 1986 baseball season
mercifully ended for the 71-91 Minnesota Twins, it was
obvious the bullpen needed to be upgraded.

The Twins blew so many leads late “that our confidence

agent and was the Twins’ best pitcher the first two months
of the season.

Reardon and Berenguer showcased their talents in the
playoffs, as each appeared in four of the five games. They
were helped by left-hander Dan Schatzeder, who was
nothing short of terrible after he was acquired from the
Philadelphia Phillies in June. But he allowed only two hits in
4 1-8 innings in the playoffs.

“I didn’t know if I would get this opportunity con-
sidering that I struggled a little during the season,”
Schatzeder said. “I'm giad | did. It was like a dream come
true.”

Reardon won one game, saved two others and suffered
the Twins’ only loss when he gave up Pat Sheridan's two-run
homer in the eighth inning of Game 3.

Reardon came back the following two games in similar
situations and kept the Tigers at bay.

erence for Twins

“Jeff Reardon means so much to this team in terms of
confidence, in terms of toughness, in terms of getting the
job done,” said starter Frank Viola. “He makes it much
easier for a starter to go out there and say, ‘I'm going to go
as hard as I can for as long as I can.’ " .

Berenguer helped the Twins show they wouldn't be
intimidated by the favored Tigers in Game 2, when he struck
out four of the five batters he faced. After each strikeout in
what turned out to be a 6-3 Minnesota victory, he pounded
his glove and pumped his arms, irking Tigers manager
Sparky Anderson.

Berenguer, who was angry with Anderson because the
Detroit manager didn't. allow him to pitch in the 1964
post-season when Berenguer was a member of the Tigers,
may have similar incentive in the World Series. If San

Francisco beats the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 7 of the

tional League offs tonight, Berenguer \would be

Three years ago, when the Tigers won the World
Series, they rode Cy Young reliever Wille Hernandall the
way. This season, Hernandez didn't do the job and,
into the playoffs, the Twins were given the edge in the
bullpen.

When the World Series begins Saturday night at the
Metrodome, Viola will probably start for'the Twins, whose
presence will make it the first Series ever to include games
played in a domed stadium. Games 1 and 2 (and 6 and 7, if

) would be played in the Metrodome, with Games
8, 4 and 5 in the NL ballpark.

Lemieux likes his new wingers | commission

Judging by a 8&8 National
Hockey League victory Tues-
day night over the Buffalo
Sabres, they may have found
them. It was the lone NHL
game scheduled.

“This is definitely the best
line I've been on,” said Lem-

jeux, who teamed with Char-
lie Simmer and Craig Simp-
son. “They're easy to play
with.

“They both have good
hockey sense. We always
know where the others are
on the ice.”

Simpson and Simmer each
scored two goals and Lem-
jeux had four assists in the
rout. The assists gave Lem-
jeux seven for the season.

TO NEW ENGLAND

The Penguins chased Buf-
falo goaltender Jacques
Cloutier with four goals on 10
shots in the first period.
Three of the goals were by
the line of Lemieux, Simpson
and Simmer.

Simpson is a natural centre
who was shifted to the wing
full-time this season. Simmer
was picked up in the waiver
draft from the Boston Bruins

just before the season
started.

“Of the five teams that
could have picked me, Pitts-
burgh was at the top of my
list,” Simmer said. “It was
pretty much a custom-made
situation with Mario here and
a young team on the way up.”

Randy Cunneyworth
scored at 9:21 and Simpson
scored his second and third
goals of the season to offset a

Bears trade Flutie

FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) —
Doug Flutie,
professional success after 2'/:
rough years on the road, re-
turned to his roots and root-
ers Tuesday when the New

the
Heisman Trophy-winning
quarterback at Boston Col-
lege may welcome him back,
but there is no guarantee his
path will be smooth.

Flutie intends to cross the
picket line during the NFL
strike and, despite less than a
week of practice, he was
named Tuesday by coach
Raymond Berry as the start-
er Sunday against the Hou-
ston Oilers.

Once the strike is over,
Flutie will have to squeeze
into a crowded Patriots quar-
terback corps.

None of those potential
problems were enough to
shatter Flutie’s dream of

coming back home. The
Bears traded him for an un-
disclosed draft choice.

“It’s something that Doug
always wanted,” although
the decision was difficult,
said Bob Woolf, his lawyer.

RIGHT OR WRONG

Flutie, a long-time resident

of Natick, Mass., said he was

+ sympathetic with the strike

and would only have ac-
cepted a trade to, and play
for, New England during the
walkout.

“I don't know whether
what I'm doing is right or
wrong,” Flutie said. “I just
know the best thing for Doug
Flutie is to come here and
play.”

The Patriots, who passed
up a chance to pick Flutie in
the 1985 NFL draft, were
eager to find a quarterback
who could produce better
than Bob Bleier, their starter
in the two replacement
games.

Former NHLer

WEST PALM BEACH,
Fla. (AP) — The former girl-
friend of one-time NHL play-
er Brian Spencer testified
Tuesday at his murder trial
she didn't see Spencer kill
the man he is accused of
shooting in 1962.

She said she drove Spencer
and West Palm Beach res-
taurateur Michael Dalfo
down a dirt road and later
picked up Spencer alone.

Spencer, a left winger
known as Spinner while in
the National Hockey League
from 1969 through 1979, was
arrested Jan. 18 and charged
with first-degree murder.

Dalfo, 29, was found near
death Feb. 4 by a truck
driver who saw vultures cir-
cling in a swampy area. The

man had been shot in the
head at close range and he
died shortly afterward.

Spencer, 38, is a native of
Fort St. James, B.C.

Star prosecution witness
Diane Fialco tearfully told
jurors that Dalfo had called
the escort service that em-
ployed her, and she visited
him for several hours on Feb.
2, 1982.

GOT IN CAR

Fialco said when she and
Spencer went to Dalfo’s West
Palm Beach home hours
later, on Feb. 3, Spencer
made Dalfo get into a car
with them.

“He (Spencer) just told me
to shut up and drive,” Fialco
said during her first day on
the witness stand. “Michael

Amid indications that post-
strike rosters will be in-
creased from 45 to 49 play-
ers, Berry said the Patriots
intend to keep four quar-
terbacks. They already have
Tony Eason, Steve Grogan
and Tom Ramsey.

The success of quarter-
back Mike Hohensee in Chic-
ago’s non-union games ap-
parently hurt Flutie’s pre-
carious position there. Bears
coach Mike Ditka has said he
intends to keep Hohensee.

Other than a hefty salary,
Flutie hasn't had many
breaks since the 1984 season,
when at Boston College he
set numerous school passing
records and dazzled crowds
with his scrambling ability.

Flutie led the Eagles to a
45-28 Cotton Bowl victory
over Houston on Jan. 1, 1985,
then was rushed into the
United States Football
League was the quarterback
for the New Jersey Generals

and as a hope of reviving that
troubled league. He broke his
collarbone in the ninth game
and missed the rest of the
season.

The Los Angeles Ranis
took him in the 11th round of
the 1985 NFL draft but he
never played for them. They
traded him on Oct. 14, 1986 to
Chicago, where he received a
lukewarm welcome from his
new teammates.

He played in four reg-
ular-season games last year,
starting only the finale when
he threw two TD passes in a
victory over Dallas. But he
completed just 11 of 31
passes in a first-round playoff
loss to Washington.

In the Bears’ training camp
last summer, he was one of
five quarterbacks. Appar-
ently only injuries to Jim
McMahon and Steve Fuller
saved his spot, but he didn’t
play in Chicago's two pre-
strike games.

up for murder

Dalfo said if we didn't take
him back, he was going to call
his lawyer. He was nervous.”

Fialco, 27, said the trio
drove down a dirt road. Then
she said she became nervous
and ran away.

She said she saw no gun
and heard no gun shots.
Spencer picked her up sev-
eral minutes later without
Dalfo, she testified.

“I asked him what hap-
pened,” she testified, “and he
said (Dalfo) wouldn't be able
to call his lawyer now. I was
scared.”

When the couple returned
home, Fialco said, Spencer
asked her for all her clothes
so he coyld get rid of them.
And when police questioned
her two days later about the

shooting, Spencer had told
her to tell police that she had
been with another client
most of the evening in ques-
tion, she said.

Fialeo, now married and
the mother of two children,
also testified she had disliked
the escort service job she had
taken in November 1981 and
wanted to quit. But Spencer
told her that quitting “would
make me look guilty,” she
testified.

On one side of the court-
room sat Spencer's former
teammates Rick Martin of
the Buffalo Sabres and Gerry
Hart of the New York Is-
landers. Dalfo's family mem-
bers were on the other side of
the courtroom.

Ruuttu. Simmer’ scored his
second goal of the season at
18:05 to make it 4-1.

Phil Housely scored for

Buffalo at 1:55 of the second
period but Doug Bodger
slapped in a pass from Lem-
jeux on a power play at 8:11
to give the Penguins a 6-2
lead against goalie Tom Bar-
rasso.
With Lemieux in the pen-
alty box late in the second
period, Mike Foligno scored a
power-play goal for the
Sabres but Pittsburgh an-
swered with Dave Hannan's
short-handed goal off a pass
from Dan Quinn.

Simmer scored a freak goal _

at 6:35 of the third period.
His attempt at a pass from
behind the net hit the skate
of a Sabre defenceman and

deflected past Barrasso.
Brad Aitken scored his
first NHL goal with 1:16 left

Card fans ride
Giants’ Leonard

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The
chanting started early Tues-
day night with 55,000 Busch
Stadium fans jeering San
Francisco Giants’ left fielder
Jeffrey Leonard, who has
become the villain of the Na-
tional League playoffs as far
as St. Cardinals fans
are concerned.

“Jeff-rey, Jeff-rey,” they
chanted in unison, sounding
like a British soccer crowd.

That didn’t really bother
Leonard, whose four home
runs have helped the Giants
move to the brink of the Na-
tional League pennant.

“I got suspended one time
in grade school for raising
hell,” he said. “I came home
and my mother and father
yelled louder and longer than
they (the crowd) did.”

Then came the debris —
packets of sugar and salt, a
couple of cowbells, and, in the
sixth inning, a shower of beer
as Leonard chased a foul fly
ball hit by Terry Pendleton.

“T'm all right,” he said. “It
was a reception I expected.

“I'm sure they think it
affected me when I struck
out. But nothing happened
tonight that I didn't expect.”

Leonard struck out in his
first two at-bats against
Cardinal left-hander John

Tudor. He singled in the {yo

sixth and when Tudor walked

him in the eighth, Todd Wowipss

Worrell relieved for St.
Louis.

Leonard caused the game to
be stopped twice as the um-
pires and Busch Stadium
ushers attempted to restore

money out there, I mean a
lot.

“They must have thought I
was going to do a tap-
dance.”

Leonard said he ignored
the change, except for one
quarter which he picked up
and flipped ¢asually while
running off the field.

When he was hit by the
beer, the umpires went to
left field to warn the fans.

Leonard waved off an
usher who came out offering
a towel.

“By then,” he said, “I had
wiped it all off.”

SCRAPS DIRTY
WRESTLING

By JIM MORRIS
‘The Canadian Press

A Winnipeg promoter recently had his plan of a
“down-and-dirty” wrestling card thrown out of the ring
by the Manitoba Boxing and Wrestling Commission.

‘The commission frowned on the card bécause, among
other dubious participants, it featured a convicted killer
who spent 15 years in jail.

Another fighter, said to have a metal plate in his
head, was simply billed as “crazy.”

Promoter Walter Shefchyk called the matches a
“backyard scrap” featuring fighters weighing an average
400 pounds. A problem cropped up when his star
attraction was thrown in jail — allegedly for punching out
someone in a bar.

Once the guffaws stopped, reason set it.

Wrestling commission chairman Herb Embuldeniya

“He (Shefchyk) was utilizing the fact one person has
served a term in prison and was using that as an
attraction for his card,” Embuldeniya said.

ORDERS

ENFORCE
The commission, which can ask police to enforce its
orders, refused to sanction the event, the
promoter to cancel his original date. Shefchyk plans to go
ahead with the card, if he can find a venue.

What apparently frightened officials about this
so-called sporting event is that someone could have been
seriously hurt or even killed.

Perhaps even scarier is that people were prepared to
watch it.

“It has that sort of sense of excitement that,
vicariously, they can watch danger and see things from
the safety of being a spectator,” said Dr. Mike Thomas, a
U of

“Some people just want to come to see a murderer,”
Thomas chuckled. “They haven't ever see a real, live
murderer.”

MOBS CROWD

No matter how far society advances in terms of
technology, these events suggest we're only a bodyslam
away from the days when mobs crowded into the
Coliseum in Rome to watch lions killing Christians.

‘There's no arguing the overwhelming popularity of
“professional” wrestling today, led by the U.S.-based
World Wrestling Federation and its many imitators.

The last Wrestlemania extravaganza drew over
98,000 fans to the Pontiac Silverdome near Detroit, with
an éstimated 2.2 million watching on closed-circuit broad-
casts around the world.

All too often in pro wrestling, the thin line between
fiction and reality becomes blurred.
