Goaltending is not the Martin speaks out on Soviets ionship. “I don't know how we're going to psych out the COMMUNITY NEWS national teams. The Canadian Press Seth Martin once was the quintessential amateur goaltender, the small-town puck stopper who psyched out the best of the Soviei Union and other European The unflappable Martin did it in the 1960s when he proudly skated onto the ice wearing the uniform of Canada over his bulky netminding equipment. He was the top Russian defenceman Vyacheslav Fetisov should he play for the New Jersey Devils next season in the National Hockey League as expected. “I think you have to look at what happened to the Swedish players when they first started coming over,” said Martin. “To start with, they didn't like the NHL because it was too rough. They're not used to that. I think maybe the Russians might experience that kind of thing, too — if and when they get here) I'll believe it when I see it. armor the Soviets rarely dented. Today the silver-thatch ed Martin works as diligently as ever, the company man “There could be a rude awakening when they have to hockey world championship tournaments - with the Cominco fire department in Trail Martin is somewhat of an expert on international four times he was named the best goaltender at and feels comfort play the 80-game schedule, play two or three nights in different places, the bumping and grinding, the type of thing that goes on. They're not used to FOLLOWED OLYMPICS able talking about the Soviets and the few Canadians who take time to play for their country. Martin followed closely the play of the Soviets and, problem, he claims, in the continuing effort to beat the Russians — he liked the consistency of Sean Berke and Andy Moog in the Olympics — it's getting the best.young Canadian players to commit their time to playing for@hetr country. Martin did it when he was in his prime and didn't turn professional until he was 34, After 30 games in 1967-68 with the St. Louis Blues (he shared the position with the legendary Jacques Plante after the NHL ex- panded to 12 teams from six) and a brilliant 2.59 goals- against average, Martin returned home to be with his wife and three daughters. The lure of the bright lights in NHL arenas and bigger paycheques didn’t match the security of home — and the closer ties with the 1961 Trail Smoke Eaters, the Russians because they've got a tremendous machine,” Martin says. But, he adds, there hasn't been much change in the calibre of Soviet teams. Things will change with young Canadians like Burke, who played two complete seasons with the national team before turning professional after the Olympics with New Jersey. “Burke has great talent and he'll only improve over the years,” says Martin. “He certainly looks a lot like Ken Dryden and with New Jersey he'll do well. Eventually that jeam will be in the Stanley Cup final and win it.” Martin will relive some of his fondest memories May 25 when he’s honored by the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. He'll be the small-town guy who worked hard, always gave 100 per cent and was “rewarded at the end” with his naturally, the Canadian Olympic team during the Winter last Canadian team to win the world hockey champ- induction. HERNANDEZ BREAKS OUT OF SLUMP The Canadian Press Struggling through what he called “the worst start I've had in 10 years,” Keith Hernandez decided to do things his way and proceeded to have one of the biggest games of his career He drove in seven runs, six with two homers that included a grand slam, as the New York Mets routed the Atlanta Braves 13-4 in National League baseball action Tuesday night Hernandez, who was batting .158 with only four RBI game, said he made “a few adjustments,” going into the during his slow start “But they never worked,” he said. “So I told myself today to go back to my way of hitting and let it go.” The grand slam was the seventh of Hernandez's career, and the seven RBI were a career high He said the game probably would rank as one of his most memorable. DESTROYS BRAVES “It has to, because I got my 1,000th RBI,” Hernandez, who personally destroyed the Braves, giving Davey Johnson his 400th win as a manager. said In other NL games Tuesday night, it was: Cincinnati Reds 5, Montreal Expos 2; Houston Astros 3, Philadel. phia Phillies 1; Chicago Cubs 7, Los Angeles Dodgers 3; San Diego Padres 1, St. Louis Cardinals 0; Pittsburgh Pirates 2, San Francisco Giants 0. Unbeaten Dwight Gooden became the first five-game winner in the National League, allowing 10 hits and striking out five. It was Gooden's third straight complete game. “The way I was pitching tonight, I wanted us to get as many runs as possible,” Gooden said. Hernandez’s seventh career grand slam broke open the game in the eighth. Jim Acker, 0-2, who relieved Atlanta starter Tom Glavine in the sixth, was the loser. Glavine pitched the first five innings, giving up four runs on five hits. Astros 3 Phillies 1 Mike Scott, 4-0, pitched a three-hitter with a season-high 12 strikeouts — he leads league with 43 — through eight innings as Houston beat Philadelphia. Padres 1 Cardinals 0 Carmelo Martinez homered for the first time this year as San Diego collected its fourth straight victory. Cubs 7 Dodgers 3 Greg Maddux, 4-1, pitched an eight-hitter for eight innings and Chicago capitalized on four infield errors by Los Angeles. Pirates 2 Giants 0 Pittsburgh pitcher John Smiley, 1-2, pitched four-hit ball over 8 2-3 innings, and reliever Jim Gott allowed one hit before saving a victory as the Pirates won their fourth straight game.

The ear-splitting cheers of ashamed of anything. The Flames left this self. proclaimed City of Champ. ions in the wee hours Tues. day, holding their heads high despite losing the NHL's Smythe Division final in four straight games to the Ed monton Oilers “We have nothing to be ashamed of,” coach Terry Crisp reminded his players after their 6-4 loss Monday night. “It was a four-game sweep, but we were in every game. “All I know is we tried t« win it and we didn't, but we're certainly not ashamed of what we did and we're excitement before the series, when Flames signs and ban ners were splashed all over the city But the high hopes came to naught after their northern rivals won the much-bally hooed Battle of Alberta. It was a bitter defeat for a team that led the league this season with 48 victories, 105 points and 397 goals “Everything will be hol low. The year is hollow when you lose in the playoffs,” said a dejected Crisp, who in his first season as coach took the Flames from third-place overall to No. 1 SCORERS SLUMPED There will be a lot of analysing why the league's certainly not going to hide our heads.” top regular-season team came to such a sour end just nine games into the playoffs.

Because of the Olympics, the Flames en dured a month-long, 11-game road trip, yet they still es. tablished numerous team records. Masters nearly 20,000 rabid, red-clad fans only added to the pres. sure the Flames already faced as early favorites. “They had a great year and they were the No. 1 team in hockey this year,” said a re. lieved Wayne Gretzky. “They have nothing to be ashamed of, but the bottom line is they played a team that knows what it's like to win a championship.” The Flames upset Edmon ton in 1986 in a seven-game division final, with a team buiit solely to beat Edmon. ton. But it lost the Stanley Cup final to Montreal. This year, Crisp and gen eral manager Cliff Fletcher converted the Flames into a team capable of beating any one in the league.

Sunday 7:00 p.m. ret dR Complex EXECUTIVE MEMBERS NEEDED CASTLEGAR JUNIOR REBELS May 8 White Sox's LaRussa outfoxes Blue Jays By TOM MALONEY Press TORONTO — When Tor- onto manager Jimy Williams dealt the cards Tuesday night, he played right into Oakland manager Tony La- Russa's hand. With the game tied 1-1 and two runners on in the eighth inning, Williams yanked starting pitcher Dave Stieb and replaced him with David Wells. Williams was going strictly by the book, taking out a righthander and putting in a lefthander because Ron Has- sey, a left-handed hitter, was due up next. However, Has- sey came into the game hit. ting .171 — he'd hit 54 homers during his nine-year career. With Wells in, LaRussa countered with pinch hitter Mark McGwire, who hit 49 homers in his rookie season last year to lead the majors. McGwire slammed a three- run homer, his fifth of the season, and the A's went on to a 6-1 American League baseball win. “(Williams) knew who was on the bench,” LaRussa said. “He knew the matchup.” Storm Davis, 2-1, gave up only four hits in seven inn- ings and Dennis Eckersley picked up his ninth save in nine opportunities. Oakland, the West Division leader, improved its record to 13-7 and Toronto fell to 9-9. “I was told (by LaRussa) { be ready,” McGwire said. “From the sixth inning on- wards, I.was swinging and getting ready.” LaRussa said he would have allowed Hassey to hit if Stieb stayed in the game. Williams knew that would be LaRussa's strategy. “Then, they wouldn't have pinch hit,” Williams said; Mark Eichhorn, a right: hander, warmed up with Wells and was ready. Tom Henke, who leads the league in seven saves last year, was still on the bench. Stieb took a long shower after the game but it didn’t cool him off. “It's my game,” he said. “It was my game. I don’t want to talk. Sorry.” Davis, meanwhile, had sharp control on his breaking ball and struck out seven Blue Jays. McGwire first hit a pitch long enough for a homer, but it curved foul around the left- field pole. He hit the three- run shot on the next pitch. McGwire said he wasn’t looking for a particular pitch. “You just have to be ag- gresive and get your hacks in. I was battling up there.” Hassey doubled down the left-field line, walked and grounded out against Stieb. Stieb, who gave up six hits and walked five, was working on a string of 12 and two thirds scoreless innings when Walt Weiss hit a run-scoring grounder with the bases loaded in the second as Oak- land took a 1-0 lead. Toronto tied the game in the fifth when Manny Lee singled with the bases loaded and two out. Right fielder Jose Canseco threw out Fred McGriff trying to score from second on the play. McGwire and Parker drove in ninth-inning runs for a cushion. Tony Fernandez hurt his left knee trying to scramble back to first on a fly ball in the fourth inning. The club announced that the knee, which was operated on in the winter, suffered a bruise. Fernandez had been thrown out on the play. NOTES: George Bell has not hit a home run in the last 13 games . . . Ernie Whitt, without a home run this season, has seven RBIs. . . Whitt, who played his 1,000th career game last Sat- urday in New York, has struck out 17 times in 61 at-bats .. . Tom Henke had one question while travelling to New Brunswick for an ex- hibition game last Monday that ended up being can- celled: “Do we get to tour the bowling ball factory?” Dunigan hoping for trade EDMONTON (CP) — The Saskatchewan Roughriders are hoping a trade is in the making now that quarter- back Matt Dunnigan has said he wants to leave the Ed- monton Eskimos. But Saskatch general Eskimos to put him on its active list so he can be traded. He expects to be picked up by either Saskatchewan or the British Columbia Lions. He hopes it comes soon because his wife, Kathy, is manager Bill Baker says he runs into a brick every time he approaches the Eskimos. He said the two teams have talked about a number of combinations for a trade for several months but noth- ing has been decided. Dunigan, who doesn’t think he is making enough money or getting enough recognition, has asked the the couple's first child. “I think it's time to move on,” said the 27-year-old Dunigan, whose dreams of being a baseball player were shattered about three weeks ago. He said he doesn't believe the Eskimos management has accorded him the respect and pay he deserved in the past few seasons in the Can- Canadians beat Firebirds 3-0 VANCOUVER (CP) — Jeff Bittiger patiently waits for the phone call that lingers in the dreams of minor league baseball players. Rourke, Meeres advance By CasNews Staff Earl Rourke and Carrie Meeres have advanced to the B.C. Seniors Games in Ver- non in the horseshoe event. The two won their respective divisions earlier this month in Zone playdowns. Nelson's E. Erickson ad- vanced: to the games in the darts competition by beating out Ed Botterill, Mocko Mc- Donald, Roy Olson, and G. Watson. Erickson will repre- sent the Kootenay Zone at the Games in the singles darts competition with Bot- terill as alternates. Roy Olson and Jocko Mc- Donald of Castlegar took the doubles darts honors and will go to the Games as a team. The darts playdowns were held in the Castlegar Legion yesterday. It’s the summons to the big leagues and, in Bittiger's protracted case, he hopes it's from the Chicago White Sox. Brittiger threw a brilliant one-hit shutout Tuesday, in- cluding 14 strikeouts, when the Vancouver Canadians defeated the Phoenix Fire- birds 3-0 in the Pacific Coast League.

Dunigan said he was den- ied a chance to pursue a baseball career because of his age, not his ability. “I'm ready to go some- where where I can be re- warded financially . . . what I deserve now and what I de- served in the past. I want to be paid and maximize my dollars while I can still play the game at an excellent level.” Dunigan was disappointed with the Eskimos’ initial offer this winter, which cut a five- per-cent raise due him in the option year of his contract and deleted the $50,000 bon- us he received last year. He noted that in his 1985 all-star season he was the league's 13th-highest paid quarterback. “Backups were making more than me,” he said.
