Puhl hangs on in maj

By KEVIN McGRAN ‘

TORONTO (CP) — Terry Puhl
has learned a lot about markets
lately — the stock market, where
he'll spend his retirement, and the
‘one that will ultimately force him out
of baseball

Puhl, a career outfielder with the
Houston Astros, finds himself in a
Kansas City uniform these days, the
result of a dwindling market for
aging, left-handed pinch hitters.

But the pride of Melville, Sask.,
isn’t worried about his future. He's
been a licensed stock broker for eight
years and has a partnership with
former Astros teammate Craig
Reynolds in a Houston stock broking
firm.

Puhl says he has no idea when
he'll join Reynolds fulltime. He’s in
no hurry be fi ed = with
baseball.

But 15 year career is
winding down

“Maybe tomorrow, maybe three
years from now,” said Publ in the
visitor's clubhouse before set ing
down to read the Toronto Globe and
Mail’s Report on Business.

“The market always tells you
when you're finished. No individual
can tell a player he's done, The
whole market tells you. If there’s no
job for you, then go find something
else to do.”

There was almost no job in
baseball this season for Puhl, a
Strong-jawed, sandy-haired 34-year-
old. Organizational changes at
Houston saw Puhl leave the only
major league team he ever played

for. After 14 years 87 days and a
career batting average of .281, Puhl
left as a free agent.

The New York Mets invited him to
spring training with outfielder Mark
Carreone on the disabled list and
catcher Mickey Sasser encoyntering
throwing probléms. The Mets needed
backup.

But they traded for Hubie Brooks,
Carreone came off the DL earlier
than expected and Sasser overcame
his problems. Puhl — and his .214
average in 19 exhibition games —
was released. “

Puhl returned to Houston. He
worked out and helped Reynolds

ors

while waiting for that phone call. It
came.

George Brett’s knee got banged up
and he went on the DL. Kansas City
needed help.

The veteran Canadian signed a
one-year deal April 26,

Signed as a free agent in 1973 out
of Melville Comprehensive School,
Puhl made it to the majors in 1977
— three days after his 21st birthday.
He played 60 games, hitting .301 in
229 at-bats,

At six-foot-two and 200 pounds,
Puhl_was nevera power-hitter in
Houston’s vast dome (13 was a
career best, in 1980; 62 in all).

He hits for average, uses his speed
and plays exemplary defence,
holding the major-league record for
fielding percentage for outfielders
who've played more than 1,000
games (.993).

Hunter slipped up in his in-

‘Welcome to the WHA.”

Hunter said Europe is part of

a Soviet franchise already on the

“The CHA has signed a letter
of understanding and agreement
for a Moscow franchise,’’ Hunter
said, adding, ‘‘The team will be
known as the Moscow Kremlins
and it will be made up of all-stars
selected from the four major
Soviet teams, including the Red

Hunter said the draft for the
North American-based teams will

“Draft order will be decided

It's Casey at the bat
for Stanley Cup Stars

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) —
Jon Casey’s off-ice persona is
boring. The Minnesota Notth Stars’
goalie speaks at public engagements
only when he must and keeps to
himself in the dressing room.

On the ice, it’s a different story.
He ranges far out of the net, handles.
the puck and isn’t afraid to mix it up
with opposing players.

“He used to make me nervous
early in the year, but you've got to
learn to trust the judgment of the
players who play for you,”’ said Bob
Clarke, the North Stars general
manager.

“Hey, his job is to stop the puck.
How he does it is his own business.’’

The last six weeks, Casey has been
stopping the puck better than any
other NHL goalie.

Take all the reasons for the North

Stars’ improvement — balanced
scoring, solid defence, an outstan-
ding power play — and the team still
wouldn’t have come close to the
Stanley Cup finals without Casey’s
sensational goaltending.

“*He’s incredible in games, but one
thing I’ve noticed is that he’s one of
the few goalies I’ve seen who ac-
tually enjoys practising hard,” Min-.
nesota defenceman Chris Dahlquist
said. ‘tHe is very focused.”

After every start, Casey will work
out for at least 30 minutes. He lifts
weights, jumps rope, rides the
Stationary bike.

“I'm still warm and I still feel like
doing it,’ he said. ‘I find it
relaxing. It lets me get my thoughts
together.’’

Unlike many goalies, Casey is
neither superstitious nor jittery.

During games, he burns excess
energy by getting into the play. He
commonly chases the puck into the
corner and whips it to a teammate.

Early in Game 5 of the semifinals
against Edmonton, the Oilers’ Glenn
Anderson crashed into Casey at the
end of a play. Casey took exception
and threw a few punches before the
two were separated.

“It’s a part of the game, in the
playoffs especially,’ Casey said.
“When a guy lands on top of you
and pushes your head into the ice,
you've got no choice but to get him
off of you."”

A Minnesota native, Casey seemed
a perfect fit when he signed with the
North Stars as a free agent April 1,
1984. He played well as a rookie in
1985-86, but spent most of the next
two years in the minors.

By Rev. GLEN BACKUS
St. Peter Lutheran Church

Hey, anyone! Do you know what
this Sunday, May 19 is? I’ll give
you a hint. It’s a Christian holy day
just as important as Christmas and
Easter. Give up? It’s Pentecost!

Nobody ever sends a. Pentecost
card or says “Happy Pentecost.”’
But that still doesn’t make it any less
Significant. Because this Christian
festival focuses on the person and
work of God, the Holy Spirit.

Actually, Pentecost for Christians
has to do with a historical event fully
as dramatic as Christmas or Easter.
The Book of Acts, Chapter 2,
describes the miraculous outpouring
of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles
plus additional disciples.

And what a spiritual explosion
that turned out to be! Peter, who
had disowned his Lord three times
during those dark hours of Jesus’
trial, was given strength to proclaim
divine truth with incredible boldness.
Thousands of people were mioved to
repentance and to request Baptism.

Talk about a dramatic difference
between before and after! That's
what it was not only for the
Christian church in general but also
for each of those individuals who
became believers. All because of the
Holy Spirit.

However, how much of a differen-
ce do we notice on the part of those
who claim to be Christian believers
today? I suppose we might ask: how
converted are the converted?

Perhaps too many of us are like
Zeke, the mountaineer, who went to
a tent meeting and was ‘‘converted.”’
When someone asked his wife if she
noticed any difference in Zeke since
he supposedly got religion, she could
only think of one thing.

“Well, before he carried his jug of
whiskey on his shoulder when he
walked downtown, but now he

Japanese
visit
brief

By JOHN CHARTERS

The six-man Rotary Group Study
Team from Tochigi, Japan, met
recently for an all-too-brief hour
with representatives from )Selkirk
College, the Castlegar Rotary Club
and the City of Castlegar for an ex-
change of ideas and objectives.

Acting Mayor Marilyn Mathieson,
representing the city, welcomed the
team and explained the relationship
between Castlegar and its Japanese
twin city of Embetsu.

Leo Perra, principal of Selkirk
College, discussed the increasing
ducati and cultural i i
between Canada and Japan, the im-
pact of student exchange on inter-
national understanding and relations,
citing the Japanese student centre to
be built in Castlegar as one of many

examples.

Elizabeth Fleet, chairman of the
Selkirk College board, recalled her
visit to Japan last year.

Don McDowell, president of the
Castlegar Rotary Club and official
host, made the Japanese visitors
welcome and outlined their agenda
for the afternoon and évening — a
fairly rigorous one in a rigorous six-
week tour of B.C.’s southern In-
terior and the United States.

Group leader, Rotarian Shyoichi
(Sho) Nemoto, spoke of the wonder-
ful hospitalicy that his team had
received in its nine-day visit to the
East and West Kootenays while his
team members asked searching
questions of the host team.

carries it under his coat.’’

Unless we thumb our spiritual
noses at Him, God, the Holy Spirit,
can indeed make a real difference in
our lives. To be sure, we remain sin-
ners while on this side of the grave,
but something new can begin with
faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior.

Can anyone dispute the fact that
the critical need in human society has
always been for changed hearts. For
hearts genuinely turned from hatred,
greed, selfishness and such.

As St. Paul who certainly realized
the impact of the Holy Spirit upon
his life wrote: ‘‘No one can say,
‘Jesus is Lord,’ éxcept by the Holy
Spirit."’ (1 Cor. 12:3).

A Blessed Pentecost to all!
