CASTLEGAR 601-18th St., 365-7232 Insurance 365-3368 team last at d er WLAF has been big hit in Europe By DAVE GOLDBERG The Associated Press Now that the World League of American football has wowed them in Europe ard bored them in the United States, the scenario for next year is clear: Fommy Kramer. of the -Chicago Crickets throws downfield and . . . it’s pickéd off by Ronnie’ Lott of the Paris Poddles. ” In other words, expand the WLAF into more major European markets and add aging stars to spice up television ratings. “They should let some of the retiring veterans come over here,”” says the still-active Lott, one of the broadcasters for Saturday night’s Sacramento-Frankfurt game. ‘‘They could lend their names and reputations to the teams. “Us old guys who retire now don’t have a place to go.”” The game in Frankfurt is a perfect example of one side of the WLAF. A total of 51,653 fans turned out in a 37,000-seat stadium and another 1,000 were turned away as Sacramen- to eliminated Frankfurt from post- season play. In the U.S.,. the only people turning away from WLAF games were the fans the league hoped would watch on TV. As London prepares to. play New York-New Jersey and Barcelona gets ready for Birmingham in this weekend’s playoffs, league officials have mixed feelings. If the WLAF was an unexpected smash in Europe, it was a LAF in the United States, where TV ratings were awful and fans viewed it as football’s version of the Triple-A Alliance or the Continental Basket- ball Association. Financed and sanctioned by the NFL, the WLAF hoped to get about 25,000 a game in the U.S. and 15,000 in Europe. Instead, it averaged more than 30,000 in Europe, a little more than the average for top-grade soc- cer, and about 25,000 overall, with U.S. crowds inflated by freebies. By ED MILLS Staff Writer In case anybody had forgotten, a team from Missoula, Mont., remin- ded fastball fans and players at Kin- naird Park last weekend that ball is indeed its game. Canadians at the park were probably glad we're still the best at hockey after Missoula went un- defeated in five games to win the $1,000 first-place prize money in the Paul (P.K.) Kinakin Memorial fast- ball tournament. Banjo’s Pub of the Castlegar Men’s Fastball League, which hosted the Il-team tourney, was treated to Missoula’s special brand of cross- border friendliness twice, losing to the Americans in the final and ning was all Missoula needed to come up with a five-run rally and a berth in the championship. In the final, Missoula cranked three first-inning homers off Eli Soukeroff, who started all five games for Banjo’s, to build a 5-0 lead and Missoula pitcher Al Powell shut the door the rest of the way to get the shutout win. The Nelson Athletics, who also play in the Castlegar league, placed third and won $400 after being knocked out by Banjo’s in another semifinal. The Trail Times team finished fourth, collecting $200. Banjo’s and Missoula shared all the individual honors at the tourney. Powell, who won all five games’ for Mi: la, was named the best in the doubl event. Banjo’s cashed a second-place cheque for $600, but the money couldn’t take the sting out of Sun- day’s 7-0 loss in the championship Banjo’s player-coach Terry Taranoff summed it up in three wor- ds. “Can they hit,”’ he said, referring to the barrage of home run-blasts Missoula players hit throughout the tourney. “They're a super team, defensively and offensively. They had very few flaws in their lineup.”” The final-game loss was especially biting after Banjo’s came so close to beating the U.S. team in the tour- nament’s semifinal, taking Missoula to extra innings before losing 11-7. Taranoff’s catching error on first base with two out in the eighth in- pitcher while second baseman Steven Anderson was named most valuable player. Scott And was named the tourney’s best in- fielder and teammate Ray Lynn was top batter with a .625 average. Jim Nazaroff of Banjo’s was named the tourney’s best catcher and the team’s centre fielder, Lyle Stoushnow, won best outfielder honors. The Castlegar league had all five of its teams represented in the tour- ney as the Castlegar Merchants played, along with a combination team made up of players from Labatt’s and Salmo Hotel. Kalesnikoffs, the Valley Royals and Slocan Braves of the Valley league also entered the tourney while Grand Forks and Cranbrook roun- ded out the 11-team slate. By CasNews Staff It looks like the Castlegar X-Men have finally found their way through the fog this minor soccer season. : The. X-Men, who began the season a dismal 1-9 in the under- 14 age division of an interlocking league with Trail and area teams, played their third straight game without a defeat Monday in a 1-1 tie with the Hustlers in Beaver Valley. Shawn Horcoff has found his scoring touch for the X-Men with his second goal is as many games. David Pucci, who got a shutout for the X-Men in a 1-0 win over Warfield Lions last week, proved he’s not just a good goalie but also an offensive threat with his play against the Hustlers, according to coach Gerry Rogers. The X-Men’s overall record goes to 2-9-1. They put their X-Men's losing days may indeed be gone three-game undefeated streak on the line today in Glenmerry against the Sting. In other games Monday, in the under-12 division of the in- terlocking league, the Castlegar Tornado, behind the goaltending of Derek LePage, battled to a scoreless tie with the Beaver Valley Dragons at the Kiwanis field in Castlegar. The Tornado takes its 3-5-2 record into Trail today to take on the league-leading East Trail Raiders. Meanwhile, the Castlegar Kickers lost their eighth game in a row 7-2 to the Warfield Lions in Warfield. Ryan Wenger and Ryan Fontes scored for the Kickers in the loss, which drops their record to 1-9-1. The .Kickers don’t play again until Monday when they travel to Beaver Valley to play the Dragons.

Society president Shirley Kwasney visited Selkirk College’s Castlegar campus May 9 to present a $2,000 endowment to establish a scholarship . in memory of Mary Reeves, a past- president of the Trail Society for the Performing Arts and a tireless worker for the past 11 years for the Promotion of the performing arts in Trail until her death in the fall of 1990. “Our aim is to promote the per- forming arts,’’ Kwasney said in a news release. She said she is pleased the society’s support could stay in the region and be used to assist local students in their quest for careers in performing arts. The endowment to the Selkirk College Foundation is eligible for matching funds from the province which will yield an annual student award of $4,000. The Trail Society for the Perfor- ming Arts sponsors, organizes and Promotes a series of performing arts events each year which have become popular with Trail and district sub- scribers. The Mary Reeves , Memorial Scholarship will be presented to a student of high academic standing, from the Trail Performing Arts District, enroled in the professional music program at Selkirk College who is continuing into second year studies. The first award of this memorial scholarship will be made June 8 at the Selkirk graduation and awards ceremonies in Castlegar. Women's group meet The May meeting of the Kinnaird Women’s Institute was held at the home of Elsie Hiebert with eight members and one guest present. The guest, Rose Soberlak, provided the highlight of the meeting by giving a talk on the Pythian Sisters Lodge. Members got an in- sight into the workings of that group and found Soberlak's presentation interesting. Helen Leduc presented the speaker with a small gift of ap- preciation. Helen Kriel gave a report of the Women’s Institute’s West Kootenay 4 in Fruitvale which was well atten- ded and declared a success. The draw for the huge grocery hamper which was donated to by all branches waas won by one of the American visitors. The win provided a bit of amusement to think about a trunkful of Canadian groceries crossing the border into the U.S. instead of the other way around. Members are looking forward to a garden meeting with a pot luck lunch June 13 at Kriel’s home and to the Hands-Across-The-Border-Picnic in Nelson on June 19 at Lakeside Park. Following those two activities there will be no further meetings un- til September.
