But a jumper by Bird, the unanimous choice as the series’ most valuable player, launched an 18-6 spurt that put the Celties on top 91-78 heading into the final quarter, Boston ended the third quarter by scoring nine con. secutive points. Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge hit jumpers, then Parish sank one of two free throws after being fouled while hustling for an offensive rebound with 59 seconds to go. FREE THROWS HIT He was fouled again 30 seconds later while fighting for another offensive rebound and made both shots. Finally, with two seconds left, McHale was fouled on a fastbreak and hit two free throws. But the Lakers, whose last lead was 32-30, weren't dead yet. A 17-6 rally brought them to within 105-102 with 1:15 remaining in the game. Boston, which had just three field goals in the fourth quarter, finished the seoring with two free throws by Dennis Johnson, who had 22 points, and four by Bird, who scored 20. The Lakers outshot Boston from the field in six of the seven games, but the Celtics, only the third team in 12 years to win the title after get the best regular-season record, had more fou! shots in five of the contests. In the finale, Boston's aggressiveness on the offensive boards, where they enjoyed a 20-9 advantage, led to Los Angeles fouls and the 25-point bulge from the free-throw line. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar led the Lakers with 29 points, James Worthy had 21 and Michael Cooper 16. Boston's victory keeps intact a number of trends.

WATER SAFETY Session, - . Instruction in small craft water safety was given at Brandson pool during water and boat safety week. eld Saturday, was conducted by Dave Tyler, small craft safety consultant for the Southern Interior. CosNews Photo by Ryan Wilson Watson wants revenge MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) — First he got mad. Now, a decade later, a dif- ferent, more mature Tom Watson wants to get even. “There is a revenge factor involved,” Watson said be- fore a practice session for the 84th U.S. Open golf cham- pionship, which begins Thursd: The site is the tough, old Winged Foot Golf Club course, 6,930 yards of rolling hills and subtle terrors, an- cient trees and deep bunkers. It is considered by many of the best players the most de- manding of all the game's tests. “Tve never played a more difficult golf course than Winged Foot was in 1974,” said Hale Irwin, twice a win- ner of the Open. Ten years ago, it was too tough for the then-young Watson. It was the scene of one of his most humbling ex- periences. It is an experience he has not forgotten. Now, he wants his re- venge. In 1974, the last time the Open was at Winged Foot, Watson was 24, a recent graduate of the qualifying ranks. He had not yet won on the Professional Golfers’ As- sociation tour, not yet proven himself. After 54 holes of the U.S. Open, the red-haired, freckle- quantity to most of the golf- ing public — had a one-shot lead. He was 18 holes away from the biggest title of them all, the American national championship. And he couldn't handle it. The young Watson played the last round in a struggling, debilitating 79, including 41 on the back. He won his first tourna- ment, the Western Open, the following year. He won the first of five British Open in 1975. DOESN'T CHOKE But it was not until 1977, when Watson stared down Jack Nicklaus in head-to- ad confrontations in the Masters and British Opens, that the whispered charge of “choke” disappeared. He has gone on to become the premier player in the game. He has won five Brit- ish Opens, a couple of Mas- ters, recorded that memor- able chip-in birdie to win the 1982 U.S. Open and is second only to Nicklaus on the all- time money-winning list. He has won 35 tourna- ments since that dismal per- formance in the 1974 Ameri- can national championship. He has won twice this year and was runner-up in the Masters. Now in his golfing maturity, his is the standard by which other performances are judged. Some of the other leading contenders in the field of 156 include Nicklaus, a recent winner and seeking a record fifth U.S. Open; Irwin, who won his first Open on this course 10 years ago; defend- ing titleholder Larry Nelson; Masters champion Ben Cren- shaw; PGA king Hal Sutton; and two players who have a history of steady, down-the- middle play, Tom Kite and David Graham. Three Canadians are in the field — Dan Halldorson of Brandon, Man., Jim Nelford of Burnaby, and Norm Jarvis of Delta. Sports pool suffering MONTREAL (CP) — The Canadian Sports Pool Corp. is losing more than $750,000 a week and is suffering from steadily declilning ticket sales, says the secretary treasurer of the Interprovin- cial Lottery Corp. Chris French said in a tele- phone interview Tuesday that estimates based on the current prize structure of the federal pool show it just “isn’t working. “We have been able to figure out the pool's ticket sales based on the prize structure and sales are de- clining,” French said. “The first week's sales we esti- mate were just over 500,000 and now they are down below 400,000.” The $2 tickets went on sale May 1 and are based on the outcomes of professional ~ baseball games. The fool prize is now $1 million. French said once the money for the prizes and commis- sions are taken into consid- eration, the pool should be losing about $765,000 a week. “If we knew the bonus structure of the pool, we would be more exact,” he said. “As it is, we believe our figures are accurate to within 10 per cent.” French said pools in Que- bee and Alberta suffered similar fates, even when the provincial lotteries distri- buted them through compu- terized systems. “The experience has been that government pools don't work,” he said. “The federal government has spent mil- lions so far and they haven't made a penny.” IS NO GUARANTEE Officials at the Canadian Sports Pool Corp. deny the corporation is preparing a request for a federal gov- ernment loan guarantee. “Sometime down the road, we may make a request for more funding, but not right now,” said Nancy Velosky, an official with the pool. There is some speculation, however, that the corporation is pre- paring a loan request of $20 million. To stimulate sales, the corporation is offering five free tickets to retailers for every 20 tickets bought from the pool. Since the pool was launch- ed, more than 7,000 retailers have cancelled contracts with the pool because of threats from provincial lotteries to withdraw computers used to: validate provincial lottery tickets. Two retailers who lost the right to sell provincial tic- kets because they also car- ried federal sports pool tic- kets lost their bids to have the decision overturned by a court. Canadian team has new coach OTTAWA (CP) — Aus- trian Heinz Stohl, who has spent the last three years as men’s downhill coach with the Austrian ski team, as- sumes similar duties with the Canadian team effective Fri- day, the Canadian Ski Asso- ciation announced Tuesday. Stohl, 37, succeeds Joey Lavigne, who resigned last month, citing “personal and philosophical differences.” Lavigne said he felt the Al- pine discipline needed an overall coach to co-ordinate the efforts of the downhill, slalom and giant slalom pro- Blue Jays get revenge over Detroit Tigers By The Canadian Press Toronto Blue Jays got a measure of revenge Tuesday night at the expense of De- troit Tigers’ ace Jack Morris. The right-hander, bidding for his 100th career win, was shelled for six runs over three innings, and the Jays, 5-4 losers to Detroit Monday night, defeated the Tigers 123 in American League baseball play. The loss was Morris's first on the road in six decisions this season and dropped his -record to 11-8, still the best in the major leagues. Detroit has an eight-game lead over the Jays in the East Division. Toronto second baseman Damaso Garcia inflicted much of the damage, going 4-for-5 and scoring a pair of runs, and catcher Ernie Whitt hit a three-run homer before 40,037 fans at Exhi- bition Stadium. ADD SIX RUNS The Blue Jays brought 10 batters to the plate in the fourth and added six runs to their 3-0 lead with four sin- gles, one double, an error, a sacrifice fly and two batters hit by pitches. Morris was relieved by Sid Monge after giving up three hits in the Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — Jody Davis isn't showing any signs of wear and tear and insists he’s going to play baseball as long and as hard as he can. “(Montreal Expos catcher) Gary Carter tells me it’s going to catch up to me,” said Davis. “But I'm feeling good, and as long as I'm feeling good, I'm going out there.” Davis was out there for the 65th time Tuesday out of the 68 games Chicago Cubs have played this seson and drove in four runs in an 11-4 Na- tional League victory over the Expos. His two home runs and a The Jays put the finishing touches on their 16-hit bar- rage when Whitt hit his fourth homer of the season in the eighth.

A 33-kilometre-an-hour wind helped Davis and others hit their homers. Mel Hall and Gary Matthews each cracked two-run home runs for the Cubs, and Carter hit a solo shot for the Expos be- fore leaving the game in the eighth inning. The Cubs launched their 16-hit attack early against Charlie Lea, an old nemesis who came into the contest with a 7-1 lifetime record against the team. Lea was looking to become the Na tional League's first 11-game winner. Instead, he left with a 10-3 mark. Hall hit his homer in a three-run first and Matthews and Davis hit tworun ho mers in the fourth when the Cubs knocked Lea out of the game. Davis led off the sixth with his 10th homer and he dou- bled in a run in the eighth.
