Quinn now in control VANCOUVER (CP) — Pat Quinn officially became the general manager of the Vancouver Canucks Tuesday He had been under NHL president John Ziegler's league-imposed suspen sion and was forbidden from perform ing the duties of an NHL general manager — making trades, re-signing players, signing free agents. The suspension expired at the conclusion of the 1987 annual meeting of the NHL Board of Governors in Detroit. The three-day meetings ended abruptly Tuesday morning when the governors cancelled their session after the tampering charges brought by the St. Louis Blues against the Detroit Red Wings for signing coach Jacques De mers were settled by the two teams. Quinn, who is now free to wheel and deal, is scheduled to begin his first full day on the job as the team's general manager today at the Pacific Coliseum. Brian Burke, Canucks’ vice-president and director of hockey operations, has been in charge of transacting business with other teams since June 1. Jack Gordon, the retiring general manager, was in charge before June. Ziegler, who originally expelled Quinn from the NHL, handed down the suspension and fined the team $310,000 Jan. 30 after Quinn signed a contract to became the Canucks president and general manager next season while still coaching the Los Angeles Kings. Quinn, who began working as team president May 1, has said his suspen. sion hindered the Canucks’ off-season progress. “There's been delays dealing with the order of the president,” said Quinn, who remains suspended from per. forming any coaching duties for Van couver at any time prior to the start of training camp for the 1990-91 season. Ziegler’s order, including the coach ing ban, will be challenged in the Can. ucks’ B.C. Supreme Court suit against the NHL, scheduled to start in Sep tember. Meanwhile, Quinn likely has a good idea who he wants to coach the team next season. He's met with Rick Ley, Bob McCammon, Vino Gasparini, Reg Higgs and Pierre Page as well as incumbent Tom Watt. “I think that’s the end of his list,” Burke said Tuesday SMOOTH SWIMMER . . siiaeieia WHY FLY SOUTH WHEN YOU CAN NEST IN OUR BRANCHES?

CasNewsPhoto by Kathy Verigin Mets down Montreal MONTREAL (CP) — The Expos batting lineup was made to order for the Mets side-arming starter Terry Leach. “The big guys in their lineup are all righties and he usually handles them pretty well,” said New York manager Dave Johnson after Leach pitched the Mets to a 7-3 National League baseball victory over Montreal on Tuesday night. “The lefties were at the top of their order and he kept them off base. That was the key.” Leach went eight innings, allowing seven hits to raise his record to 5-0. “Those side-armers always give us trouble,” said Expos manager Buck Rodgers. “I call them crap-ball pitchers because they come at you low and beat you into the ground.” Leach, though, credited his success more to substance than style. “It's not the way you pitch, it's where you put the ball,” he said. “I was moving the ball around and changing speeds and just keeping them off-bal- ance.” Kevin McReynolds, witb a three-run homer, and Darryl Strawberry, with a two-run shot, were the big offensive guns for the Mets, who defeated Bob Sebra, 3-7. Sebra struck out nine batters in five innings, but also gave up eight hits and five New York runs. “I may be the only guy in the park that thinks so, but I felt that Sebra pitched a good game,” said Rodgers “He made a couple of bad pitches, but I saw a ray of light in the way he threw.” MIXED PITCHES “He mixed his pitches well and he even got in a few off the cut fastballs he’s been working on. He's earned another start.” The Mets took the lead in the second Aquanauts take second place in Nelson meet Castlegar Aquanauts placed second at the first swim meet of the year held in Nelson over the weekend. Castlegar had a total of 589" points surpassed only by Nelson with 640'/.

Kelowna gets scalped by Mohawk Canadians By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer The Mohawk Canadians of the Koot enay International Senior Baseball League blew Kelowna right out of the ball park in league action Sunday, but then ended up dropping a game to Vernon later in the day The game against Kelowna, played in Nelson, was called after only five innings with the Canadians ahead 18-4. Geoff DeRosa pitched four innings for the Canadians while Adrian Strel ioff pitched the remaining one Coach Ken Ferch said his squad “had a good batting game.” In the next game the Canadians suf fered a 5-3 defeat to Vernon. While Ferch said he wasn't making excuses for the loss, he noted he was not happy with the officiating “There was extremely poor umping.” Ferch told the Castlegar News. “It (officiating) did rattle our players.” Rod Gretchin was on the mound most of the game for the Canadians while Duane Weir stepped in for the last three innings. Robbie Johnston stole five bases to score three times for the Canadians. “There was some excellent defensive play. We even turned a double-play There is some very nice defensive shine on this team,” said Ferch. On Saturday the Canadians take to the diamond in an exhibition game against the A and W Bears in Nelson. inning when McReynolds hit a one out single and Dave Magadan followed with an RBI-double. New York came back with three more runs in the third. Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter hit back-to-back singles before McReynolds rocketed a 1-1 pitch from Sebra over the left-field fence. It was McReynolds’ 11th homer of the year. The Mets added a run in the fifth when Keith Miller, making his major- league debut, led off with the first hit of his career. Miller stole second, took third on a long fly to left by Hernandez and scored on Carter's sacrifice fly to right. Carter drew a one-out walk from reliever Bob McClure in the eighth and then Strawberry followed with his 18th homer to give the Mets their final two runs. Dave Engle’s two-run pinch-hit dou: ble and Mitch Webster's RBl-single gave the Expos their three runs in the ninth. YOU'RE OUTTA HERE! .. . Umpire ejects Camrose Merchants manager during game in the Trail Tire Sot DEWALT HELPS LIONS ROAR BY EDMONTON By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER (CP) — It did'nt take incumbent quarterback Roy Dewalt long to get over a poke in the eye after Canadian-born quarterback Greg Vav ra opened some eyes with a sparkling relief performance Tuesday night for the British Columbia Lions. Vavra came off the bench late in the first quarter when Dewalt suffered blurred vision and the Calgary native threw two touchdown passes inthe second quarter to spark the Lions to a 31-15 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in the last exhibition game before the Canadian Football League regular season begins next week. In the other CFL game in Hamilton, Toronto rookie quarterback John Con- gemi marched the Argonauts 60 yards in seven plays early in the third quarter, capping the drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Smith. It gave the Argonauts a 17 point lead that withstood Tiger-Cat field goals as the Argonauts won 17-15. The result left both teams with 1-1 pre-season records. ‘Dewalt finished with 11 completions for 175 yards’ Veteran Danny Barrett, who played the first half for the Argos, completed nine of 18 passes for 102 yards. Congemi was good on eight of 13 passes for 89 yards. Hamilton used four quarterbacks, who between them completed passes to 11 different receivers. Barrett and Congemi completed passes to eight different receivers. Lance Chomyc kicked field goals from 10, 23 and 39 yards for the Argos. He also booted a single and a convert. DIRECTS MARCHES, For Hamilton, Paul Osbaldiston kicked field goals of 47, 40 and 12 yards while veteran Bernie Ruoff was good from 34 and 12 yards. In Vancouver Dewalt returned in the third quarter to direct two scoring marches, one of 108 yards. He threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Parker and the bruising 220-pound running back also had 20 yards on a draw play for another major. Vavra completed nine of 14 passes for 92 yards. His scoring passes were nine yards to rookie fullback Jamie Taras from Western Ontario and 12 yards to wide receiver Ned Armour. “Hopefully, I took advantage of the situation,” said Vavra, previously teleased by the Eskimos and his hometown Calgary Stampeders. Vavra hopes to beat out 12-year CF Lveteran Condredge Holloway, who failed to complete any of his four passes against Edmonton, and Karlton Wat- son. ROY DEWALT . . poked in eye Dewalt matched Vavra's 14-point second quarter with 14 more in the third. Dewalt finished with 11 comple- tionsf or 175 yards. GIVES CONFIDENCE It was a confidence-building win for the Lions, 1-1 in exhibition play, after losing four times to Edmonton last season, including 44-5 in the Western Division ‘playoitfinal. The Eskimos, also 1-1, left eight starters at home to rest up for the start of league play. There were nine turnovers in the game — six by Edmonton — as seven quarterbacks combined to throw 73 passes. The Edmonton majors came on a one-yard run by Chris Johnstone in the first quarter, with Damon Allen at quarterback, and a 23-yard pass to Steve Howlett in the third from Matt Dunigan. Dunigan played the entire second half and completed 10 of 23 passes for 227 yards. Allen hit on seven of 13 for 85 yards. Edmonton rookie Tony Burris played briefly in the second quarter at quarterback, fumbling once and throw- ing an interception which led to 14 B.C. points. Anthony Parker of the Lions was the most productive ball carrier with 94 yards rushing on 15 carriers. tball Tournament Sunday.
