Cleveland starter Ken Schrom, 5-7, who hadn't won since May 24, limited the Yankees to three runs, two of them earned, on six hits and six strikeouts in seven innings. New York starter Tommy John, 10-4, gave up seven runs in 21-3 innings. Reliever Al Holland, making his first start since being called up from Class AAA Columbus on Sunday, allowed six runs in 11-3 innings while Dennis Rasmussen yielded solo homers to Brett Butler, his third, seven-hitter. homer in the sixth inning. Knight hit a three-run homer. umiliated ATHLETICS 9 MARINERS 3 Oakland took a 7-1 lead with five runs in the fifth with the help of two errors, three walks, a wild pitch and two-run singles by Jose Canseco and Terry Steinbach.

Baltimore tied the game in the top of the ninth when Ray and Cory Snyder, his 24th, in three innings of work. Pat Tabler drove in four runs and scored three to lead Cleveland’s 13-hit attack. Butler also scored three times. In other games, it was Boston Red Sox 8 Texas Rangers 6, California Angels 12 Minnesota Twins 3, Oakland Athletics 9 Seattle Mariners 3, and Milwaukee Brewers 9 Baltimore Orioles 8 in 12 innings. ANGELS 12 TWINS 3 Don Sutton pitched four-hit balls over six innings and California rode a 19-hit attack against fellow 300-game winner Steve Carlton and two relievers to beat Minnesota. Sutton, 8-9, earned his 318th career victory at the expense of Carlton, 5-10, whose debut with Minnesota marked only the fourth meeting of 300-game winners this century.

OVER BAN By CasNews Staff The co-director of the Uni- versity Sports Medicine Clin- ic is predicting a worldwide backlash against a recent de- cisidn that bans the use of a majority of oral contracep- tives from the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. Dr. Doug Clement called the International Olympic Committee's decision a major one because of its widespread effect against female ath letes. The banned substance is called norethisterone, one of the more common progresta- tional agents found in three quarters of the birth control pills now on the market. “Those birth control pills produce metabolites identical to those of anabolic steroids, very prohibitive doping sub- stances-which enhance per- formance,” Clement said in a news release. He added that female ath letes who are drug tested for the Olympies could test posi- tive for anabolic steroids when in fact, they are only on the pill. He estimates more than half the women he treats take the pill. Clements said he is delay ing telling his track and field athletes about the ban in the hopes the IOC will reverse its decision. Pitcher pulled over nail file ANAHEIM, CALIF (AP) — Those pesky fingernails can be a real problem for a knuckleball pitcher, Joe Nie- kro says. So he always takes his personal manicure set to the mound. “['ll be honest with you, I always carry two things out there with me — an emergy board and a small piece of sandpaper, Niekro, 42, ex- plained, in case the emergy board gets soggy. “Sometimes I sweat a lot and the emergy board gets wet,” he said. “I use the other as a backup.” .

He was thrown out of the game for defacing the ball. “T've done that ever since I started throwing the knuck leball,” Niekro said. “Being a knuckleball pitcher, I some- times have to file my nails between innings, so I carry an emergy board with me to the mound.” He needs the small piece of Bilenki wins award The Kootenay Internation al Senior Baseball League is very pleased to announce that the winner of the Brian Pipes Award which honors the KISBL’s Most Improved Player is Mike Bilenki of the Trail Concours Orioles.

NEW YORK (AP) — Minnesota left-hander Frank Viola and New York Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly were named Tuesday as American League baseball's pitcher and player of the month of July. Viola was 5-0 with a 1.88 earned run average in July, with 48 innings, two complete games and a shutout. He beat out Bostorl’s Roger Clemens, 5-1, 2.26 ERA; California's DeWayne Buice, 10, five saves; Toronto's Tom Henke, 10 saves 1.86 ERA; and Oakland's Dave Stewart, 4-0, for the award. Mattingly hit .374, hit 10 homers and eight doubles, drove in 24 runs and scored 21 times. He also tied a major-league record with homers in eight consecutive games. QUEBEC (CP) — Goaltenders Scott Gordon and Ron Tugnutt have signed long-term contracts with the Quebec Nordiques, the National Hockey League team announced Tuesday. Gordon, signed by Quebec as a free agent at the start of last season, had a 4.46 goals-against average in 82 games with the Fredericton Express, the Nordiques’ Ameican Hockey League affiliate. Tugnutt was an all-star with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Junior League in 1987, after Quebec chose him on the fourth round of the amateur draft in 1986. NEW YORK (AP) — Adding to the New York Mets’ pitching woes this season, Sid Fernandez was pulled from his start Monday night against the Philadelphia Phillies because of pain in his left shoulder. Fernandez, scheduled to make his 21st start, irritated a tendon in the front part of the shoulder during warmups and never threw a pitch in the baseball game. He was examined by team physician Dr. James Parkes and placed on oral medication and advised not to throw for at least five days. The all-star left-hander, 10-6 with a 3.44 earned run average this year, has suffered from tenderness in the shoulder area during recent starts. ROCHESTER, MICH. (AP) — Veteran Detroit Lions quarterback Eric Hipple underwent successful surgery on his right thum Tuesday but might not be able to play football for nearly two months. The surgery, performed at Ford Hospital in Detroit, was needed to correct damage Hipple sustained during workouts late Monday. Ona passing drill, Hipple's right hand hit another player's helmet, breaking the thumb at the base Hipple will be able to throw again in three to four weeks, said Dr. David Collon, Ford Hospital's director of orthopedic surgery. Collon added Hipple won't be ready to play for six to eight weeks, after the regular season begins. After being the starting quarterback for most of the past four seasons, Hipple was slated to be the Lions’ No. 2 signal-caller behind Chuck Long this year. TORONTO (CP) — The Global Television Network and Carling O'Keefe Breweries announced a new two-year agreement Tuesday for National Hockey League playoff television broadcasts. Coverage will be expanded to include divisional championships in addition to the conference cham pionships and a share of the Stanley Cup finals with the CBC. Global will produce and televise games in Ontario, while Carling O'Keefe will place games on stations in other provinces across Canada BENSHEIM, WEST GERMANY (AP) Irina Kisselna scored a perfect 1,100 points in the horse-riding competition and completed the 650-yard course in the fourth fastest time Tuesday, leading the Soviet Union to a 110-point lead over the United States in the world championship women’s modern pentathlon.

(CP) — The recent sale of tickets to Canada Cup games indicate Alan Eagleson's scare tactics are working in Hamilton. Since July 22, when the tournament organizer threatened to pull more games out of Copps Coliseum, the sale of ticket packages has jumped to 3,300 from 1,600 as of Tuesday. When sales sagged, Eagleson removed two pre-tourn: games, both Iving the Canadian Olympic team, pushed back the Aug. 1 date for individual seat sales for the remaining 10 contests and warned of further cancellations. But he also reduced the six-game package to five, and dropped the price range to $77-$150 from $90-180. TORONTO (CP) — Toronto welterweight Shawn O'Sullivan will make his New York debut as a professional Aug. 20 against Pedro Vilella, a former North American Boxing Federation champion The bout will take place at Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum, said O'Sullivan trainer Peter Wylie.

I knew there had to be something else because I saw the way she responded to things.” By SHERYL UBELACKER Canadian Press TORONTO — Stephanie comes home from school, throws herself, down on the jiving room rug and says, “Oh Mom, I feel sick.” At school that day, she had been hit in the head by a misdirected soccer ball. She didn’t feel any pain, but later her head started throbbing and her stomach churning. The soccer ball did hurt, but Stephanie didn't know it issue she can't feel pain. And vomiting is a way of life for er. Stephanie Burns has dysautonomia, a rare congenital disease believed to afflict only Jewish children. In her 18 years, Stephanie has spent more time sick than well, more time out of school than in, and more time with doctors and hospitals than most people four times her age. FED WITH TUBE The baby spent the first three months of life in the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, nourished through a nose tube. Then Burns took her home rigged with a gastro- intestinal feeding tube. “She was fed every three hours around the clock (through the tube) for 3'/ years,” says Burns. “Each feeding took an hour and at the end of it she would vomit almost everything. “T took care of her with no help — nobody would come,” she says, explaining that she couldn't leave the house because even family members felt unprepared to look after 80 sick a child. It wasn’t until Stephanie was 10 months old — after she ended up in hospital following a bout of illness that lasted 10 days and nights — that she was diagnosed. A resident at Sick Children’s had seen the condition at a clinic in New York. Burns flew Stephanie there and the tests were positive. SHE IS SMALL At four feet eight inches tall and 80 pounds, she looks more like a 13-year-old. Her face is tiny and heart-shaped. Her back is bent at the shoulders from the scoliosis that curves her spine, and when she walks she can be mistaken for a drunkard because her weak leg muscles and lack of co-ordination cause her to reel and bump into things. “What I hate most is being sick all the time,” she says in here throaty voice. “There's always something, always something.” “Even if she wanted to cry at the injustice of her life, she could not. Stephanie has no tears. She must constantly keep her eyes moist with special drops to prevent blindness. She can tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke through a keen sense of smell, but she had no taste buds. Drinking and eating are aways risky anyway, because Stephanie cannot swallow properly and often she will breathe food or fluid into her lungs. Now she can cough it out most of the time. When she was younger, she ended up in hospital with pneumonia more than 20 times. SUFFERS FEVERS Her built-in thermometer doesn’t work properly so she can't regulate her temperature.

Glaciers have since removed those sediments from Nova Scotia. The sediments and the fossil record may show there was mass extinction at that time. Jansa will ask a scientific deepsea drilling program to excavate further rocks from the crater, but that could take five years to begin. Survey finds NO CURE But the diagnosis changed nothing. There is no cure for dysautonomia, also known as Riley-Day syndrome, and symptoms can be treated only as they occur. Dr. Sheldon Wise, a pediatrician who treats Stepnanie and two other children in Toronto with dysautonomia, says the extremely rare disease — there are estimated to be caused by a genetic defect that affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls such involuntary functions as breathing, digestion and blood pressure. Dr. Felicia Axelréd, who treats dysautonomia sufferers at a clinic in New York, says the condition only develops in the offspring of Ashkenazi Jews (of eastern European ancestry). Both parents must carry the recessive gene. About one in 50 such Jews carries the gene and statistically, such parents have a one-in-four chance of producing a dysautonomic child, says Axelrod. Although there is research under way, primarily in New Nova Scotia DARTMOUTH, N.S. (CP) —-Some 50 million years ago, a meteorite three kilometres in diameter hurtled through space at 72,000 kilometres per hour and plunged into the Atlantic ocean off Nova Scotia. The impact of this gigantic intruder had the explosive effect of 200,000 megatonnes of TNT — 12 times the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons. When the dust and steam had settled, there was a crater near the Scotian shelf, 200 kilometres southwest of Halifax. It measures 45 kilometres wide, is three kilometres deep, with an uplifted centre that stands 1.5 kilometres high and 11 kilometres in diameter. “It's awesome,” says scientist Lubomir Jansa, 50, in a thick Slavic accent. “It's the only time when Nova Scotia was able to shake the whole planet.” about 500 sufferers around the world — is believed to be‘ Awesome is scientific understatement for what could be science fiction, but isn’t. These are the findings of painstaking studies by a team of four scientists, led by Jansa ‘at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, and Georgia Pe-Piper, a geology professor at St. Mary's University in Halifax FIND CRATER Published in the British journal Nature, the results are the first documented finding of an undersea meteorite crater. Further study of the crater could support the theory that the mass extinction of species, such as dinosaurs, was caused by meteorites. Jansa, who immigrated to Canada from Czechoslovakia in 1968, has always been motivated by the unexplored. “On my last birthday, I went to the base of Mount Everest but I didn’t go to the top because others ha already been there,” he said. “Now, we have a first at the bottom of the sea Jansa says the collision probably created a tidal wave over 100 metres high and a cloud covering half of the North American continent for about two years. On the ground, species coped with a heavy rain of dirt and ash Jansa believes the meteorite was only one-fifth the size needed to create the mass extinction postulated by some scientists. It crashed 16 million years after the last dinosaur radon gas WASHINGTON (AP) — More than one house in five surveyed for the U.S. envir- onmental Protection Agency has too much radioactive radon gas in the air, the agency said Tuesday in warn- ing the deadly substance could be a problem for home- owners in every state. Results of the largest survey of homes yet, done in co-operation with 10 states, cannot be extrapolated to the country as a whole because it was not planned as a statis- tically sound sample. But EPA deputy admin istrator James Barnes said he considers the findings “roughly in the ballpark” with earlier projections as heating season last winer, when ventilation is slowed, on 9,690 homes would yield slightly lower measurements when followed up with a recommended, and more acc- urate, confirmatory measure- ment that can take months or even a year, Barnes said.

(CP) — “Ohhhhh, you little lamb,” croons Mary Ellen Foley, lifting a terrified ball of fluff and feathers out of an airline packing crate. Suddenly, the endear ments turn to a cry as the terrified and angry falcon hooks a talon into her fingers, gripping tighter and tighter in the struggle to get free. Other hands reach down to sooth the falcon and untangle its claws from the St. Cath arines woman who is working night and day to save Can- ada’s peregrine falcons. Last year the Peninsula Field Naturalists released four birds from the roof of nearby Brock University. This year, 15 fledgling fal- cons are being reieased from three other Ontario locations. As a result, Foley will be spending a lot of time on the road this summer, keeping an eye on her “babies”. ‘These days she is up at 3 a.m. to be on site with the birds by the time the sun rises, and she drops wearily into bed each evening around 10 p.m, once the birds have settled for the night. Binoculars hang from a cord around her neck, and there is almost always a walkie-talkie in her hand. Despite the constant ten sion and the fatigue, Foley, 46, is in her element.

It was an angry and shrieking Nellie who clawed Foley until her fingers bled.

Both treated and untreat- ed woodwaste will be burned at high temperatures in the test, which will cost $250,000. The test is being sponsored jointly by the federal and provincial governments in cooperation with Northwood Pulp and Timber Ltd. and the Canadian Paper workers Union. “This study is unique in Canada, and will be invalu- able in setting criteria for the use of hogfuel power boilers,” Strachan said. “It reflects our concern for protection of public health and the environment while also recognizing that we export a great deal of lumber to overseas markets which demand anti-sapstain treat- ment.” Residues from lumber which has been treated with chloraphenol can be safely burned at high temperature, under controlled conditions, Strachan said. “A permit issued to the company under the Waste Management Act will clearly set out the conditions for the test burn to ensure that it is conducted safely,” Strachan said. A team of 15 government engineers and sciéntists will take part in organizing the project during August and in three weeks of testing and monitoring in September.
