Now, swimming is the weakest of my three events.” Allen was in Vancouver this week to announce his in the 1987 International Triathlon parti on Aug. 9. The 29-year-old Californian is anything but a household name but in the triathlon world the name is synonymous with one label — the best.

Now he trains three to eight hours a day, seven days a week. “When I got into it, it wasn't my goal to be a pro triathelete,” Allen said. “I never associated myself with athletics and business, but it has become that. “You have to train full time to remain competitive at the level the sport is at now.” Expos’ Raines is back ATLANTA (AP) — Tim Raines is back with some Ma: added punch and even his manager is amazed. “You can't explain it,” said Montreal Expos manager Buck Rodgers. “I've seen him hit line drives all over the ballpark in my three years with Montreal, but never anything like this.” Raines re-signed with Mon- treal last Friday after miss- ing all of spring training and the first month of the regular season. He opened the sev- enth inning Tuesday night with a home run —his third in four games and all game- winners — to break a 4-4 tie and pace the Expos to a 6-4 vietory over the Atlanta Braves. “I didn't expect him to contribute this quickly, es- pecially the long ball,” said Rodgers of the 1986 National League batting champion who has never hit more than 11 home runs during any of his six seasons in the major leagues. “I don't like to say I'm a home-run hitter, but I've al- ways felt I had home-run power, but not at this pace,” Raines said. “I'm seeing the ball good, making good con- tact and getting it up in the air. “This is my best start ever. Usually I'm terrible in April and I start picking up in Baines sat out all of April because of his free-agency status after failing to come to terms wit» any club before Jan. 8. He could not rene- gotiate with the Expos until May 1, when he signed only hours after the deadline for a $5 million over three years. He originally had turned down Montreal's $4.8 million, three-year offer. “I just feel this comes from doing a lot of hard work while I was out and not just sitting at home drinking beer and watching television,” said Raines, who is hitting .438 with seven runs batted in for the four games. “We didn't play well,” said Atlanta manager Chuck Tan- ner, whose ¢ ab had its three-game winning streak broken. “I hate to see one like this, but it was not because of a lack of effort.” The Braves made three er- rors, had two runners — Graig Nettles and Dion James — thrown out trying to go from first to third on singles and another — Dale Murphy — called out when he overslid second base. gal run in 20 innings, pitched the final three innings for his fifth save while Jay Tibb, 2-4, recorded the win. Rick Mah- ler, 2-4, took the loss Tr the Braves, his fourth straight. “Poor Mahler, they didn’t hit the ball hard in the first inning, but got five hits and three runs,” Tanner said. “I really feel sorry for him, but I told him I thought he pitched a good game.” 2.5 million applicants to carry Olympic flame CALGARY (CP) — Using canoe paddles to stir bins containing 2.5 million appli- cations, organizers of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games began Tuesday _ selecting torch-bearers from Western Canada.

VANCOUVER (CP) — It's the 17th professional soccer training camp for the d Bob L duzzi, “We're barely breaking 20 in average age, and, from what I've seen of the other teams, they'll be young too. But, the number of good young players in the country now is incredible.” Lenarduzzi will be a playing coach with the 86ers — “TD probably line up in the middle of the back four” — and is among the handful of household names fans will relate to in the CSL’s inaugural season. Carl Valentine will be loaned to the 86ers from Cleveland Force when the Major Indoor Soccer League club's season is finished. Shaun Lowther, another former Vancouver Whitecap, is expected to be the 86ers’ starting right fullback. Vi but one with a distinct difference. Lenarduzzi isn't taking orders from anyone because the Canadian World Cup player is running his own show as coach of the Vancouver 86ers in the new Canadian “It is different, but in some ways it’s like my own very first training camp,” Lenarduzzi, 32, said this week. “I can still remember the butterflies I had in my stomach when I first joined Reading in the early "70s."

Perhaps the best known of the 86ers’ youngsters is Dominic Mobilio, an 18-year-old, centre forward who's beginning to blossom into one of the country’s best national youth team players. native Ivano Belfiore, a veteran of four North American Soccer League teams, will line up in midfield with Victoria's Jamie Lowery, a Canadian international at the 1986 World Cup along with “I can see Dominic and Carl (Valentine) forming a pretty good partnership and I think we'll be pretty solid defensively,” said Lenarduzzi. “What we're lacking is an out-and-out goal scorer, someone who's proven he can do the business consistently. “That seems to be the major weakness of Canadian soccer in general. But, we're working on it.” Two imports are in the 86ers’ camp: Raymond Xian, a member of the Chinese national team that played the Whitecaps in an exhibition game in 1983, and Fijian Ivor Evans. KC blasts Jays' Johnson KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals were fortunate Joe Johnson, not John Cerutti or Mark Eichorn, was Toronto's start- ing pitcher. The Royals blasted John- son for six runs and drove him from the mound in the second inning Tuesday night. Then they managed just three hits the rest of the way off relievers Cerutti and Eichorn before putting away a 6-4 victory. It was enough to make Royals Manager Billy Gar- dner pace in the dugout. “Although we had the lead early, I wasn't relaxed,” Gardner said. “Any time you jump out to a big lead and then someone comes in and shuts you down, it bothers you.” Cerutti held the Royals to two hits in four and one-third Stanley innings and Eichorn gave up only one hit in his two innings of work. The victory went to Char- lie Leibrandt, 4-1, who got cuffed around for nine hits and four runs in six and two- third innings. “It was Johnson's loca- tion,” said Toronto manager Jimy Williams, who saw his team’s winning streak stop- ped at six. “His stuff was pretty good but he got some pitches in some bad spots. He had pitched well in his last four games.” TOUGH SECOND Frank White's double ig- nited a five-run uprising against Johnson in the second inning and Danny Tartabull drove in three runs as the Royals won three straight for only the second time this season and inched over the .500 mark at 12-11. Cup TV coverage finalized TORONTO (CP) — TV coverage of the National Hockey League playoffs con- tinues tonight with the Mon- treal-Philadelphia series being shown on the full CBC-TV networks in English called minor Jerry Don Gleaton, up Monday from the leagues, pitched the ninth inning for his first save. Gleaton came into the game after Steve Farr walked to the leadoff batter in the ninth and immediately got Ernie Whitt to ground into a doubleplay. The Royals got a run in the first when Willie Wilson singled, DeWillis and came in on Tartabull’s ground ball. White's leadoff double in the second was followed by Bo Jackson's single and Steve Balboni’s RBI single scoring White and putting Jackson at second. Balboni was forced at sec- ond and Jackson took third on Jamie Quirk’s fielders choice. Then Angel Salazar’s single brought in Jackson and sent Quirk to second. Wilson followed with a single into left to load the bases and Kevin Seitzer scored Quirk with a fielders choice grounder. Salazar scored from third and Seitzer came all the way around from first on Tarta bull's single. Cecil Fielder led off the Troonto third with his second home run. The Blue Jays got to Leibrandt for three runs in the seventh. George Bell sin. gled leading off and went to second on a single by Jesse Barfield. One out later, Fiel der unloaded a double into centre to score Bell and put Barfield at third.
