Baron said veterinarian Danielle Sands looked at the horse three hours before the race at Aqueduct and de clared he had “a hot leg.” which indicated some type of leg injury. “When trainer Pedro Peters found out he went wild . . . and attempted to ice the horse's leg to try and hide it (the injury),” Baron char- ged. He said the trainer then called in a private vet, William O. Reed, to take an X-ray, followed by another association vet, Fred Rey nolds. BROKE LEG Reynolds overruled Sand's initial disqualification and allowed the horse to run, the suit said. During the race, Fleet Halo stumbled and fell, throwing MacBeth, Baron said. The horse broke his leg and had to be destroyed. “None of this information was ever given to MacBeth or anyone else, particularly the racing public,” the lawyer said. If told about Sands’ ruling, Baron said, “my client might have refused to ride the horse. A total of nearly $806,000 was bet on the race, a substantial amount of it on Fleet Halo, who was the 2-1 second choice. The suit was filed against NYRA Ine., ‘which operates the state's racetracks; the owner’s of Fleet Halo, John Balyis and Theodore Kruc- kel; Peters, the trainer; and Reed. Reed denied he ever examined the horse or of- fered an opinion on its condition. “The trainer asked me for an X-ray, which I delivered; he said. + Racing association spokes- man Kennenth Beh said he had no comment on the suit.

Fell top Canadian STOCKHOLM (CP) — Graeme Fell of Vancouver was the top Canadian at the third Mobil Grand Prix event of the season, running to a second-place finish Tuesday in a strong 3,000-metre steep- lechase field. Julius Korir of Kenya won in eight miputes, 18.90 se- conds, followed by Fell in 8:19.54. Topranked Henry Marsh of the United States was third in 8:20.07. “Just about all the top steeplechasers were here so it was basically an Olympic final,” said Fell, Canada's highest ranked male distance runner. Fell, who holds the Cana- dian record in the steeple- chase at 8:12.58, said he needs to improve his time if he hopes to win a gold medal and outrun Korir later this month at the C “T've got to be a lot sharper if I want to beat him, but I think I can do that,” Fell said. In one of the most compet itive high jump contests since the 1984 Olympics, Milt Ottey of Toronto placed fifth with a jump of 2.25 metres. Igor Paklin of the Soviet Union won with a leap of 2.34 and failed in three attempts to increase his world record of 241 metres set last summer at the World Univer- sity Games in Japan. HURTS KNEE “I really thought I could place in the top three here, but I hurt my knee on my second attempt at 229 metres,” said Ottey, who set a new Canadian and Com- monwealth record of 2.33 at the Canadian track and field championships in Ottawa 10 days ago. the U.S. won with a time of 10.42.

UNDAI SALES ; JIM MORRIS WINNIPEG (CP) — The friendly, warm grin remains and the famous bald head still glistens, but even though he denies it, a hint of bitterness seeps into Curly Neal's voice when he talks about basketball's Harlem Globe- trotters. Neal displayed his ball-handling wizardry for 22 years with the Globetrotters, playing in 6,500 games. He toured the world three times and made 18 trips to rope. It all came to an.end last year when the team, under new management, asked Neal to take a 50-per-cent cut in salary. Neal, who now plays on ex-Trotter Meadowlark Lemon's Shooting Stars basketball team, laughs when asked about his $135,000-a-year U.S. salary with the Globetrotters. “It was a pretty average living but it kept you away from home so much,’ he said in a recent interview. PURGES STARS Included in the Globetrotter purge were Lemon, who also played 22 years, Gator Rivers, who played 12 years and Larry Venable, a 10-year veteran. Hubert (Geese) Ausbie, a 24-year Trotter tradition, went to court to resolve di with The Globetrotters wanted to slim their budget, but have ended up stripping the team of its identity and charm, Neal said. “We have personality,” he said, referring to the Shooting Star lineup which includes Lemon, Rivers, Venable and former National Basketball Association EX-GLOBETROTTER SAYS : Team lacks identity gold medal U. S. women's Olympic basketball team, last year. - ‘The face-splitting grin reappears when Neal is asked if he holds any animosity toward the Globetrotters. “No way.” he said. “| try not to have no bitterness in my heart towards anyone. The Globetrotters gave me a chance to show my basketball talents over the years and entertain fans. “There's no animosity in our hearts. We still love the Trotters. I guess business happens that way sometimes. HELPS Neal, who wants to play basketball another three years, is now involved in a health food and nutrition business. He is also organizing & celebrity golf tournament to raise money for homeless and hungry children. Children are important to Neal, a father of five. “I love them. They're the ones that make the world give something back.” he Globetrotters was a relief for Neal. During his two decades with the team he spent only about two months a year with his family. - Like Lemon, who has become a born-again Christian, Neal and his wife of 13 years are returning to the church. “[m_ working on it,” Neal said. “We've come to church and pray a little at home, my wife and family. It's made me better.” Neal stopped talking for a minute, then his booming laugh echoed through the empty auditorium. “It's great to be living,” he said. “It (the new team) gives me more time to be with my amily and still share great Pete Maravich. “The Globetrotters have no identity. Tell me who's on the Globetrotters. You might only say a girl.” Ina bid to bolster their popularity, the Globetrotters recruited Lynette Woodard, former captain of the 1964 special moments with children and people as a whole. “Any time I can take a few minutes out to meet some kids or some fans, and make them happy, it makes me happy. A couple warm embraces, & kiss on the head, that makes me happy.” Seattle yacht leads race VICTORIA (CP) — Fleet leaders have covered more than 500 of the 2,300 nautical miles in the biennial Victoria- Maui yacht race enroute to the finishing point in La- haina, Maui. At the noon positions Tues- day, winds were reported as averaging 10 to 15 knots. Despite slow daily pro gress the race has already had a couple of misfortunes. A crewmember on the yacht Climax suffered a severe cut on one finger and the boat was forced to detour to a port on the Washington state coast. The boat has since re- turned to the race, but the crewmember was taken to hospital in Seattle, a race spokesman said. The crew- member was not identified. Foxfire of Seattle dropped out Tuesday due to steering gear failure. The yacht is enroute to a port on Wash- ington coast and would not re-enter the race. Leaders have remained the same since noon Monday. Citius of Seattle holds the lead with Sorcery of Lahaina close on her transom. The rest of the fleet is grouped closely together, with the leaders of this bunch about 175 nautical miles astern of Citius and Sorcery. Carissa of Everett, Wash. and Sanfire of Vancouver, both Division II Yachts, are in third place. bases on distance sailed. The Division III scratch boat, Kelea of Vancouver, is near Sanfire and Carissa. Agreement to sell Indians announced CLEVELAND (AP) — An agreement to sell the Cleve- land Indians — once one of the proudest franchises in baseball — to two Cleveland- area brothers in the real- estate business was announced Wednesday by the American League team. The new buyers, shopping centre magnates Richard and David Jacobs, said they are committed to keeping the Indians in Cleveland. The sale was confirmed by Patrick O'Neill, who had been trying to sell the team since the death Aug. 29, 1983, of his uncle, Steve O'Neill, the former majority owner. “For three years, I have been looking for the right buyer,” O'Neill said in an interview in today’s Akron Beacon Journal. “I had to put up with a lot of crap the last three years while I was working, yes, working, to sell this team. In the Jacobs family, I've not only found the right buyer but the right family to keep the Indians in Cleveland.” Terms were not immedi. ately disclosed, but the announcement said The Jacobs brothers have the exclusive right to purchase controlling interest in the team. The statement said the Jacobs hope to complete the transaction shortly after the current season. The sale must be approved by the American League, the National League and baseball commissioner — Peter Ueberoth's office. SIXTH LARGEST The brothers founded Jacobs, Visconsi and Jacobs Co., believed to be the Detectives probe Roger’s death SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Detectives investi- gating the cocaine-induced death of Cleveland Browns defensive back Don Roger say they have “multiple suspects, and some are bet- ter than others” in the search for who supplied Rogers the drug. “We have had a number of people calling about a num- ber of possible suspects,” Det.Capt. Michael O'Kane said Tuesday. Rogers, 23, died Friday in hospital after suffering vio- lent seizures at his parents’ home. Rogers, the 1984 defensive rookie in the American Foot- ball Conference and the Brown's No. 1 draft pick, died a day before he was to marry. He had attended a bachelor party the night before at a $375-a-day hotel suite. O'Kane said detectives have talked to about 15 people and will talk to Rogers’ friends and teamates over the next few days. A police spokesman said the investigation was slowed by the inability to interview Rogers's mother, Loretha Rogers, 43, who had a heart attack after her son's death. She remains in serious but stable condition. News reports say two anonymous sources told po lice a friend of Rogers supplied the drug. Rogers’ death came eight days after basketball star Len Bias, the No. 2 pick in the National Basketball sixth-largest owner and man- ager of regional shopping centres in the United States. “These guys have the bucks to be great owners,” O'Neill told the Beacon Jour- nal. “Considering their wealth and holdings, they almost can run the team out of petty cash.” After his uncle's death, O'Neill's shares in the fran- chise were put in a private trust containing several other holdings and report- edly worth about $80 million (U.S.). Catholic charities re- ceives most of the benefits. O'Neill said that no Ameri. can League meeting has yet been set to discuss the Indians’ sale. In order for the sale to be completed, three- fourths of the American League owners must approve the deal. The Indians are 39-35, in fourth place in the American League and have won four of their last five games. The club has drawn 610,020 fans this year, nearly double last year’s attendance after 37 home dates. The Indians need 1.3 mil- lion fans to break even, and they are drawing at a rate that would enable them to come close to that goal.

BUSINESS MOLSON "RECOGNIZED A NEED' By DENNIS BUECKERT The Canadian It may be difficult to imagine, but when John Molson arrived in Montreal 204 years ago, there wasn't a beer in the place even though it was a boom town with some 6,000 inhabitants. Today, as they celeb the "sbi ial, Molson’s heirs and successors brew enough beer to fill about two billion bottles annually. Molson, who was 18 when he arrived from his native Lincolnshire, “recognized a need in. the marketplace,” said John Rogers, president and chief executive officer of the Molson Companies Ltd., in an interview. That might seem an understatement considering the $2.01 billion in sales, and $35.9-million profit, reported by the Molson Companies Ltd. in fiseal 1986. More than half of the revenue came from brewing operations. Curiously, the company founder — referred to in an official Molson history book as John the First of Canada — had no training as a brewer. ATTEMPTS FAILED Nor was he the first to notice the crying lack of beer in New France. Government authorities, concerned about abuse of hard liquor in the colony, had made several unsuccessful attempts to correct the situation. “As for drinks, we shall have to make some beer, but we must wait until a brewery is erected,” wrote one priest in 1634. Even the great intendant Jean Talon, known as an administrative genius, could not produce a palatable brew. Historians have neglected to explain why the early brewers failed. Rogers suggests it might have been “because they were started by governments.” John Molson was single-minded in pursuit of his goal. He returned to England for top-quality barley seed and obtained a publication titled Theoretical Hints On An Improved Practice of Brewing Malt-Liquors, by John Richardson, one of the first applications of scientifie method to the art of brewing. “Molson build his brewery a little way from the town, close beside the river,” wrote Stephen Leacock in 1942. “Archaeologists can easily locate the site as the brewery is still there.” BUILDING EXPANDED That building, many times expanded. is the oldest brewery in North America. The sailing ship which decorates the Molson's label today recalls an important step in the perfecting of company's product. In the 1700s, the best yeast cultures were grown in Europe but they could not survive the month-long voyage to North America. It took the advent of the speedy clipper ship to bring old world yeast to Montreal The company’s link with the sea was reinforced when it built Canada's first commercial steamship, which gradually grew into a profitable fleet plying the St. Lawrence. One of the finest souvenirs of the Molson’s glory days is the red sandstone headquarters of the former Molson Bank in Old Montreal. It financed such renowned entrepreneurs as Lord Beaverbrook and the Price brothers who founded what is today Abitibi Price Inc Despite his far-flung empire, John Molson remained preoccupied with his first calling FOCUS ON QUALITY “My principal objective is to bring the quality of my brew to perfection,” he once wrote. That attitude is echoed by the patriarch’s great-great great-grandson, Eric Molson, currently deputy chairman of the board. “| was trained as a brewer and I worked my way up the line in production,” said Molson in an interview. “When you work at something all your life you get more and more interested in it as the years go by.” Molson recalled that he recently brewed up a small batch of beer using a recipe from 1900, just out of curiosity “It was delicious,” he said. Today, the Molson Companies employ 11,000 people in 35 countries, 4,000 of them in Canada. Its main jiaries OPEN FOR BUSINESS .

Rental vacancies have dropped to 0.9 per cent from 2.2 per cent in October, according to the latest semi annual survey released by Canada Mortgage and Hou sing Corporation. But there's no rental crisis on the way. “In terms of total vacant units, this represents a de cline from 2,816 units in October to 1,069 in April,” the survey said. Despite the tightening of the market, rent levels gen erally have experienced mod est increases more or less consistent with the inflation rate of around four per cent, the corporation said. “Indeed, there have been isolated instances involving are Diversey Corp., which manufactures over 3,000 specialty chemical products, and Beaver Lumber Co. Ltd., with 162 stores across Canada. Probably the most admired Molson subsidiary this year is the Montreal Canadiens hockey club, which won its 23rd Stanley Cup a few months ago. Legend has it that Molson's beer sales go up when the Canadiens are winning, but Rogers says that correlation is hard to measure. “Obviously we wouldn't be proprietors of a hockey club unless we thought it had a bearing on corporate success,” he said. “But we're not in hockey just to enhance beer sales.” A sensitive point for the Molson Companies in Quebec is the company's decision to move its executive offices to Toronto. Rogers says that when the company acquired Anthest Imperial Ltd. of St. Catharines, Ont. in 1968, it very . but this is not a broad base trend,” the report said. “Clearly a major factor in the current decline is the impact of Expo both directly and indirectly. The direct effect is the short-term de mand created by employees of international or corporate exffbitors,” the corporation said. The.corporation estimated there could be 1,000 to 1,500 such short-term tenants, which would reduce the vacancy rate by one per cent. didn't make sense to move that company’s h Montreal. Quebec nationalists may see the hand of an avenging fate in the fact that the $80-million Anthest Imperial purchase turned out to be a disaster and most of its divisions were sold, usually at a loss. A major concern for Molson Breweries is Canadians’ declining consumption of beer over the past 10 years. Rogers said that in the last two years consumption has declined to 106 litres per Canadian adult from 115 litres. ters to OFFICE AID Professional Services * Bookkeeping/ Accounting * Public Stenography * Computer Services * Consulting 218 - 11th Avenue 365-6658 24 hour call AMC names new car SOUTHFIELD, Mich (AP) — American Motors Corp. has given the name Renault Premier to the mid. size car it considers essential to its return to profitability The four-door sedan, de signed by AMC's French partner Renault, should be. gin rolling off the assembly line of a new $675 million plant in Brampton, Ont., in the fall of 1987 as a 1988 model Up until its christening Tuesday it was known as x-58.
