Kooter lay Savings Where You Belong ONE WEEK LEFT Labatts hold | despite cool bats By GUY BERTRAND Staff Writer Eight hits over the course of two games is hardly a sign of a team dominating its league. But despite the meagre output Labatts made the most of their opportunities to gain a split in their two games this week in Castlegar Commercial Fastball League play Going into the last week of scheduled games,Labatts tops the CCFL standings with a récord‘of 15 wins and three losses for 30 points, 10 points ahead of Banjos Pub, who closed the gap with a 7-0 win Wednesday night.

The league's leading hitter, Lyle Stoushnow, continued his excellent hitting as he started things off for Banjos getting their first hit and scoring the first run. Jim Nazaroff reached first on an error and Clay Liber, who moved into fourth in the batting race with a2 for 3 night, stroked a single as both batters went on to score and give Banjos the lead. \ While Soukeroff was holding off the Labatts offence, Banjos hitters cashed in again in fourth inning as they chalked up another three runs and up the score to 6-0. Mark Sherstobitoff, making his playing debut for Banjos, scored after reaching first on an error. A triple by Nazaroff and a single by Liber cappéd another three-run rally ® Tom Adkins ended-off the scoring picking up the seventh run in the fifth as Banjos cruised to victory. Labatts pitcher Joe Tarasoff was charged with the loss. LABATTS4 TU-DORSPORTS3 Hits were also scarce for Labatts Tuesday night out at Playmor Field.

Tu-Dor responded with one of their own in the bottom of the first as Walt Sheloff scored on Bob Marsh's sacrifice fly. Things stayed quiet until the fourth when Labatts ex- ploded for three runs. Don Savinkoff drew a walk to set the stage for hits by Bruce McMillan, Rod Gretchen and Chris Tereposky and give their team a4-| advantage. Peter Evdokimoff cruised along on the mound for Labatts as he struck out five Tu-Dor batters. Evdokimoff, the league’s top hurler with a 9-0 record, almost saw his un beaten streak broke as Tu-Dor rallied in the bottom of the seventh.

Ottawa, with just two wins last season and a total of five victories over two years, gave the Bomers as much as they could handle in the season-opener for the two Eastern Division clubs Winnipeg slotback Buster Rhymes caught a 16-yeard) touchdown pass with 3:14 remaining to vault Winnipeg into the lead. With 22,332 fans looking on, the Bombers then allowed Ottawa to encroach within 33 yards of their endzone before running out the clock and scampering to the locker room with two points don’t know if ‘fortunate to win is the way you want to put it, but they came to play,” said Riley Winnipeg's other scoting came on TDs by Tim Jessie and James Murphy, Quick exit for Stars By GUY BERTRAND The Castlegar Stars) ended their season on a dim note at last weekend's Kootenay Soccer League playoffs in Creston. The Stars were knocked out of the playdowns in a first-round loss to Creston by a score of 4-2. Tony Braga, Stars manager, had lit tle trouble finding a word to sum up the loss. ‘‘We did poorly, that’s a real good word for it.’ Decimated by injuries late in the season, the Stars fel{ a first-round win would have put them in a position to upset the top teams in te league However, the KSL /crown went to the season champs, /the Cranbrook Rovers as they defeated Kimberley 2-0 in the final game For the members/of the Stars, the soccer year may not’be over yet. A fall league is in the planning stages with five or six teams ranging from Castlegar to. Sandpoint, Idaho, ex pressing interest Alex Neilsen, secretary of the KS, said the league would-be on a less organized scale “1 would like to see it in a tour nament format with three or four games played on a Suriday in one location,”’ said Nielsen Trail, Kimberley and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, are all mentioned as possible entries into the fall league. with Trevor Kennerd adding three converts and two field goals and pun- ter Bob Cameron booting two singles. Ottawa quarterback Damon Allen, making his debut for the Rough Riders after defecting from the Edmonton Eskimos as a free agent in the off season, refused to see the game as anything but positive ‘This game was a confidence builder for us — we were so much a part of this ball game,"’ said Allen, who passed for 327 years and two touchdowns and added 33 yards rushing. Allen used various receivers to keep the Bomber defence off balance Wideout Gerald Alphin scored one touchdown’and picked up 119 yards in receptions, ken Evraire added another 44 yards receiving and a TD and Byron Williams had three receptions for 49 yards. As expected, the return of veteran placekicker Dean Dorsey after a year in the National Football League bolstered the Ottawa offence, with the Toronto native kicking three field goals, two converts and a single LED FOUR TIMES The Riders held the lead four times, including a six-point spread entering the final quarter The good news for Winnipeg was the work of running back Jessie. The Bombers had the worst ground attack in the CFL last season but Jessie, Winnipeg’s lone threat in the backfield, rushed for 99 yards. Ot tawa’s Orville Lee who collected just 27 yards on eight carries. Bell chimes as Blue Jays top.Athletics TORONTO (CP) George Bell used his bat, glove.and vocabulary to endear himself once again to Blue Jay diehards Friday night during a 4-1 Toronto victory over the Oakland Athletics. Bell drove in the winning run, rob: bed Dave Parker of an extra-base hit witha great catch, and almost ignited a brawl with Parker The unpredictable left fielder, a favorite target of the boobirds in recent weeks, had most of the 48,325 paying customers on his side Friday He crashed against the wall in left field to snare Parker’s fly ball leading off the second inning, then doubled home Kelly Gruber to give Toronto a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Bell later scored on Ernie Whitt’s one-out bloop single. But he left his largest impression in the sixth after he was hit by a pitch from A’s starter Bob Welch Walking to first base, Bell glared at the Oakland dugout. With Whitt up and one out, Welch objected to a call by home-plate umpire Vic Voltagion, prompting Bell to tell the pitcher **just throw the ball across the plate,"” said first-base coach Mike Squires Out came the designated hitter Parker, six-foot-five, 250 pounds. Both benches and bullpens followed Parker and Bell had to be restrained from staging the first punch-up at SkyDome. My intent was to go out there as a peacemaker, but he challenged _me."’ said Parker. “I've heard about Latin tempers but there’s temper in the ghet to, too. I come from an environment where you accept all challenges.” Peace was restored, with a warning from Voltagio that another hit bat sman could result in a pitcher beihg ejected After the game Bell told reporters to “go talk to Parker.”” Oakland manager Tony LaRussa also wasn’t eager to discuss the im promptu gathering. “That's the problem with this stuff, you forget about the other 8 1-2 in nings,’’ he complained. ** You ought to be talking about (Toronto reliever Duane) Ward coming in and doing a job or (Jays starter Dave) Stieb."’ Stieb, 9-5, tossed a three-hitter over 6 1-3 innings before giving way to Ward with one out and two on the seventh. Ward immediately got Ron Hassey to line into a double play, and whiffed Carney Lansford, Jose Can- seco and Parker in the ninth to com. plete his ninth save. Dave Henderson _ provided Oakland’ sonly run in the fifth with his eighth home run of the season. “1 was forced into a situation where I had to throw a strike,”* Stieb said of a 2-1 fastball that Henderson took. *‘It was 3-O at that time, and I could afford it Kelly. Gruber extended his hitting streak to nine games with a double, single, and his 11th homer to lead off the bottom of the seventh. Gruber also hit a sacrifice fly to score Tony Fer nandez, who tripled with one out in the first Welch, 10-5, lasted seven Innings, allowing eight hits before giving way to Rick Honeycutt. Expos shutout Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Bryn Smith took nothing for granted and the Cin cinnati Reds got nothing in return Smith pitched 8 1-3 shutout innings against the Reds’ injury-depleted lineup Friday night, leading the Mon treal Expos toa 1-0 victory “You can’t let up,” said Smith, 9-3 “*You can’t go into a series and say we'll just throw our gloves out there and win. You’ ve got to play every game like it’s the last game of theseason."* The Expos have been doing just that. Asa result, they’re making a bid to keep playing after the last regular season game Montreal's victory Friday was its 13th in its last 17 games, moving the Expos 13 games above .500 for the first time this season. Montreal leads the National League East with a 51-38 record. “If we keep winning like that, it seems you grow as a team, the con fidence factor,’’ Smith said. The Expos took advantage of a team whose confidence has hit bottom The Reds have lost their last five games — their longest losing streak of the season — to fall below .500 for the first time. They've lost 21 of their last 30 to plummet to third place in the NL West, and a streak of injuries that has landed five players on the disabled list gives the Reds little hope of a surge in the next few weeks. ““We're on a path straight down,” said Tom Browning, 7-8, who allowed just the onerun in eight innings Friday ““We'd better turn the corner, or we'll be on the bottom of the division looking up.”” Smith kept them in their nosedive Firday. The right-hander gave up three singles in the first two innings, then retired 15 in a row. He struck out nine, matching his season high, and didn’t allow a baserunner to third until Lenny Harris got there with two out in the eighth. Smith forced Eric Davis to fly out toend the threat “Hooked at Eric and it’s you and me and the best guy is going to win it right here,” Smith said. “I tied him up enough to keep it in the ballpark. If it’s cover the middle of the plate, it’s a 2-1 game.’ Kal Daniels hit a one-out single to centre in the ninth to end Smith's at- tempt at his second shutout. Left- hander Joe Hesketh came on and for- ced pinch-hitter Joel Youngblood to hit into.a game-ending double play HANGS CURVE “He (Smith) hung a curve over the plate 0-2 to Daniels,”” Manager buck Rodgers said. ‘‘I figured he'd had enough. He hadn’t done that all night “When Daniels got the base hit, he was not going to steal off Hesketh They'd need two base hits totieus.”” The Reds managed just six — all singles — as they were shut out for the 12th time this season, the most in the major leagues. Cinciniati was blanked 13 times last season. Browning, who struck out a season- high eight, has been the starter in five of the Reds’ shutouts. “‘It's frustrating from a team stan- dpoint,”” he said. “We're struggling and we can’t seem to get it going.” Staff Writer interpreter eases Larionov's arrival By GUY BERTRAND relax the arriving celebrity. ‘*He had been travelling for 18 hours and Beth really put him at ease. She did a fine What started off as a simple queerie letter turned intoa whirlwind weekend for Beth Nevokshonoft The 32-year-old Grand Forks native answered the phone one evening and the Vancouver Canucks were asking for her interpretive services for the impending arrival of the newest Canuck and Soviet hockey star Igor Larionov “had to be peeled off the ceiling,’’ Nevokshonoff told the Castlegar News in a telephone interview from Vancouver My sister and I were talking and I said ‘Geez, | don’t use my Russian very much anymore’ so I shot offa letter to Pat Quinn (Canucks president) ‘1 thought | could help with the settling in of a Soviet player,"’ she said The letter arrived at the right place at the right time. The Vancouver hockey team had finally secured the playing rights to the Soviet center after drafting him four years ago. “He's really excited to be playing in the National Hockey League,”” says Nevokshonoff. ‘‘He’s been working on this for many years."’ With the addition of the star forward, the Canucks needed to enlist someone to break the language barrier Larionov would face once he was approached by the predictable media blitz Darcy Rota, director of media relations for the Canucks, said when Nevokshonoff came out, ‘I don't think she really knew what to expect.” She admitted she was a little nervous as well as ex cited about her assignment. “At the meeting (with Larionov) at customs, | greeted him and said ‘Zdravstvoyte’ (Russian greeting) and gave him some flowers.”” RO Says the addition of Nevokshonoff helped job for us. Before moving into the media's spotlight, Larionov met with the Griffiths (Canucks’ majority owners) and some of the coaching staff “It was a chance for him to relax,’ said Nevokshonoff *He talked and joked even though he was very, very tired.” Although Larionov was taken.back a bit by the media, Nevokshonoff said he acted very professionally and had a good sense of humor for all the hoopla surrounding him **1 felt like | had known him for years. In fact | was asked if | was his sister Qecente people thought we looked alike.”* Although she isn’t related to Larionov, Nevokshonoff may become an integral part of the Larionov family when they arrive in mid-August Rota said while Larionov will be working out and practicing with his new teammates, it may be his wife and young daughter who may haye the most difficulty adapting toa new culture. “His wife will be at home and maybe Beth can help her out making the transition,"’ said Rota, adding **Igor and Beth hit it off just fine.” While the prospect of landing a season-long job with the Canucks is still very unclear, Nevokshonoff is still caught in the euphoria of her weekend “It’s the same as winning a million dollars,’’ she confessed. “In fact, | bought a Scratch and Win ticket the other day and won $100 and had to be peeled off the ceiling again.” ‘Amazing what can come from a simple queerie let- er:
