Argonauts win
battle of defences

By BRUCE CHEADLE
Canadian Press

TORONTO — To be kind, it was a clinic in
defensive football.

The Toronto Argonauts downed the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats 19-5 Tuesday night in a CFL game that
might be described as a battle of superior defences.
Neither head coach viewed it that way.

“Our football team’s No. 1 thing is just better
execution,’’ said Argo coach Bob O'Billovich, who
saw his team win despite the absence of an offensive
touchdown.

Lance Chomyc kicked four field goals and
Pernell Moore ran back a 95-yard punt return for the
only touchdown of the game as the Argonauts
doubled their first-place margin over Hamilton to
four points in the East.

Toronto, 5-1, won its fifth straight game before a
season-high crowd of 25,103 at Exhibition Stadium,
but was unable to shake the offensive lethargy that
has dogged the team in 1988.

“I don’t think we need any players,’’ O'’Billovich
said. ‘‘We just need better play at the quarterback
position.

“I'm satisfied in two-thirds of the team, maybe
80 per cent. It’s just the one position where we have
to get better.”’

Gilbert Renfroe, 25, started the game for
Toronto but two Lance Shields interceptions chased
the sophomore quarterback before the first quarter
ended.

John Congemi in relief was no better. The
23-year-old completed 12 of 19 passes for 155 yards
but threw three interceptions and lost a touchdown
opportunity when he fumbled a snap on the Hamilton
2 in the second quarter.

O'Billovich hasn't given up on his quarter-
backing tandem. He defended their inconsistent
performance.

“What no one remembers is that our quarter-
backs are the youngest in the league,"’ he said. ‘*Not

one of these guys has played a whole season as
starting quarterback.

“They're still learning and there's a lot of good ,
defences in the league.”’

For the Tiger-Cats, who managed only five
points on a first-quartér Paul Osbaldiston field goal
and two singles in the second half, the offence was
equally dismal.

“Our offence stunk,"’ said Hamilton head coach
Al Bruno. ‘‘We had no offence.

“‘It's the worst offensive game we've played this
year, or in the four years I've been here. We just
didn't do anything.’’

The Ticat offence, in front of Mike Kerrigan and
Tom Porras, failed to score a touchdown for the
second consecutive game. The Tiger-Cats defeated
the Edmonton Eskimos 22-14 in a mistake-laden
sleeper last Friday in Hamilton.

Osbaldiston, who booted five field goals against
the Eskimos, missed on chances from 48 and 51
yards Tuesday. Only the Ticat defence, and Tor-
onto’s quarterback deficiencies, kept the game close.

Bruno has alternated quarterbacks the last three
games, looking for some offensive punch. Kerrigan,
a second-year Ticat, opened Tuesday's contest and
third-year pivot Porras came on in the second half.
The two managed only 14 first downs and 302 yards
offence.

Bruno wasn’t ready to blame the lack of
point-scoring on either player.

“It’s a team game and I'm not putting this on
anyone,"’ he said. ‘I swung them back and forth like
I said I would

“The offence stunk the place out. I'm talking
about everyone.”’

Hamilton, having placed twice in four days, has
an 11-day layoff before facing the Ottawa Rough
Riders at Ivor Wynne Stadium. The Argonauts don’t
play again until Aug. 26 when they travel to Regina
to play the Roughriders.

Wylie

no factor

By BRIAN KENNEDY
KELOWNA, B.C. (CP) — Bob
Wylie and Stu Hamilton each has
to prove when the Can-

adian men’s amateur golf champion-
ship gets underway today.

Wylie, a reformed alcoholic from
Calgary, turns S9 next month but

wants\to show age is not a factor in
wining a golf tournament.

Hamilton, a four-time runner-up in
the event, is determined not to be a
bridesmaid once again.

“These young kids hit the ball so
far it’s scary,’’ said Wylie, who has
won the Canadian seniors title the
last three years.

But Wylie believes his putting will

Top AL teams lose

By The Associated Press

The beat goes on in baseball’s American League
East.

The Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox and New York
Yankees each lost a game and a chance to improve their
position atop the division.

“I can’t explain why we're suddenly beating De-
troit,’’ Kirby Puckett said after the Minnesota Twins
again tripped the Tigers 4-1 Tuesday night.

The Twins, who defeated the Tigers in five games
in last year’s playoffs, are 7-1 against them this season.

Detroit managed to hold its three-game lead over
Boston and 3'%2-game edge over New York as both
contenders were routed. The Seattle Mariners trounced
the Red Sox 7-0 and California Angels crushed the
Yankees 15-6,

In other AL games Tuesday, it was: Chicago White
Sox 5, Toronto Blue Jays 4; Oakland Athletics 6,
Baltimore Orioles 3; Texas Rangers 5S, Kansas City
Royals 4; and Cleveland Indians 6, Milwaukee Brewers
S in 10 innings.

Bert Blyleven pitched six shutout innings at Tiger
Stadium and ended his five-game losing streak. He gave
up four hits in his first start since July 29, when he
sprained his right thumb and went on the disabled list.

Jack Morris, 10-12, saw his three-game winning
streak stopped. He has lost four consecutive decisions to
Minnesota starting with Game 2 of the playoffs.

Ken Hrbek hit his 22nd home run, all of them
against AL East opponents, to lead off the second
inning. A wild pitch by Morris enabled another run to
score in the third

Puckett, who earlier threw out Lou Whitaker at the
plate from centre field, hit a two-run single in the fifth.
Whitaker homered in the ninth and Jeff Reardon
relieved for his 31st save.

Mariners 7 Red Sox 0

The Red Sox lost their second straight game at
Fenway Park since setting an AL record with 24 con-
secutive victories at home.

Angels 15 Yankees 6

Wally Joyner homered and drove in five runs and
California took an 11-0 lead in the third inning. The
Angels scored their most runs ever against New York
and tied a season high with 19 hits. Brian Downing hit a
two-run homer, Chili Davis singled twice during a
seven-run third and Mark McLemore doubled twice and
drove in two runs.

Athletics 6 Orioles 3

Storm Davis, starting for the first time against his
former team, won his seventh straight decision. Davis,
12-4, helped the Athletics win for the sixth time in
seven games. Dennis Eckersley got his 34th save.

Indians 6 Brewers 5

Andy Allanson singled home the winning run in the
bottom of the 10th. Willie Upshaw opened the 10th with
a single off Chuck Crim, 5-6, and stole second. After a
walk, Allanson singled to centre.

Rangers 5 Royals 4

Curtis Wilkerson and Scott Fletcher hit RBI triples
during a three-run Texas rally in the seventh. Trailing
4-2, Cecil Espy hit a leadoff single against Mark
Gubicza, 147. With two outs, Wilkerson tripled, Oddibe
McDowell hit a run-scoring double and Fletcher tripled.
