Casttews Photo Mariners’ Alvin Davis chosen rookie of year SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners, losers on the field and at the gate since the in. ception of the American League baseball franchise in 1977, have a couple of win- ners in first baseman Alvin Davis and pitcher Mark Langston. Davis, 24, was named American League rookie of the year Tuesday by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Langston, a left handed pitcher, was runner up. Davis received 25 of the 28 first-place votes and 134 points to beat Langston, who had the other three first-place votes and 8&2 points. Davis and Langston were the only players named on all 28 ballots. “It's a dream come true,” Davis said Tuesday in a tele- phone interview from his home in Riverside, Calif. “This is really an exclamation mark to a fantastic exper. ience and a fantastic season.” Davis, who started the 1984 season with Salt Lake City of the Pacific Coaast League, set a Mariners’ rec ord with 116 runs batted in while batting .284 with a club-high 27 home runs. Langston, 24, set a club record with 17 victories and led the AL in strikeouts with 204. He: had a 17-10 record and a 3.40 earned-run aver. age.

Rebel Fever Cateh Rebel Fever! Come and see the Rebels in action on Thursday when they take on the Nelson Maple Leafs. Game time is 8 p.m. Davis and Langston helped the Mariners to a 74-88 ree. ord for a tie for fifth place in the West Division, second best record in the club's dismal history. Despite their presence, the Mariners failed to draw a million fans in the Kingdome for the sixth time in their eight AL seasons. PUCKETT WAS THIRD Outfielder Kirby Puckett of Minnesota Twins finished third with 23 points and sec ond baseman Tim Teufel of the Twins was fourth with five. Also-receiving votes were Baltimore outfielder Mike Young, 3 Boston pitcher Roger Clemens, 2; Kansas City pitcher Mark Gubieza, 1; Boston pitcher Al Nipper, 1; and California pitcher Ron Romanick, 1 Davis was called up in the season's first week when Ken Phelps suffered a broken finger. By the time Phelps came off the disabled list, Davis was firmly entrenched at first base. Phelps spent the season as Seattle's des. ignated hitter Davis and Langston be came the first teammates to finish 1-2 in the rookie vote since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice of Boston did it in 1975. The rookie honor complet. ed the association's post season awards. Pitcher Dwight Gooden of New York Mets was named National rookie of the year Monday. Earlier, Detroit pit cher Willie Hernandez swept the American League most valuable player and Cy Young awards. Chicago Cubs’ Rick Sutcliffe and Ry ndberg swept the National League Cy Young and MVP awards. Sparky Anderson of Detroit and Jim Frey of the Cubs were named AL and NL managers of the year, respectively Juveniles down Nelson Castlegar juvenile hockey team downed Nelson 5-2 with five players figuring in the goal scoring. Niki Hyson, Richard Paul son, Sean Coulson, Cliff Tom lin and Colin Obetkoff each notehed goals. Hyson and Paulson also had one assist each, as did Wayne Popoff and Jason Chernoff. The Juveniles have a full slate of games this weekend, beginning Friday at 7:15 p.m. in the old arena when they meet Trail. That will be followed by two games against Nakusp, one at 5 p.m. Saturday and the other at 9:45 am. Sun day, both in the Community Complex Tuesday night, the home team lost 86 to Nelson Jr. Maple Leafs. In Cranbrook Saturday night, the Rebels tried to put a win back to back. The trip back was quiet as the locals got beat 85 by the Colts. The Rebels’ “Triple H”line of Huron (Kelly), Hoodi- coff (Ken) and Horcoff (Rod) again led the play in the points, department. Hoedieoif was picked second star of the game. Not to take away from his effort, but Horcoff could have been right next to him. Colts fired their first goal through the legs of Rebels goalie Mitch Peacock. Their second on a breakaway was a shot so weak that Peacock should have stopped it. Goaltending is a pressure job and stopping goals from being scored is not easy when you sit back on the goal lime and don't challenge the attacking forward. Rebels first goal by Reese Eyre from Randy Salekin and Dan Tayler was a result of Salekin's hard corner wétk to get the puck to Eyre in the slot. He first timed it — right in. Colts forward Darcy Allison scored three times but his efforts were made easy by the non-existent checking. Dave Perehudoff, one of the better Rebels of last season has yet to regain his form and his sluggish efforts are starting to be noticed. Talking to the players after the game, they say they have no powerplay. Though they may not have a power play, most have had a few years of rep-type play, and they should be able to execute the skills necessary to score goals when playing with a man advantage. Their anemic play when they have a man advantage was the primary reason for losing to Cranbrook. The Rebels have the horses but the efforts on the ice as of yet don't reflect that of the coach To give credit where credit is due the Rebels played betjer than the Colts and should have won this game. Rebels’ Ken Valentine is looking stronger every game and his breakaway goal flipped high to the glove side, got his teammates spirits lifted in the second period. Colts tied the game 4-4 at_9:37 of the second period and they went ahead at 12:07 on Fisher's goal from the circle. Colts breakout pattern seemed to rely on fast legs as they continually shot the puck up the boards, then tried to catch it before it went for icing. This put considerable the locals will have to overcome as still — far too often — the forwards do their job when they have the puck — but quit when they lose it. Friday night action at home saw the Rebels take two points off Hy well i ar team. A goaltending change early in the game for the Rebels plus the “Triple H” line lighting the lamp four times was more than the slumping Warriors could handle. Both teams traded goals in the first period with the Rebels coming out ahead 6-4 after 20 minutes. Hoodicoff scored both Rebel goals in the second frame with Warriors’ Deibert scoring Rossland’s one goal With the game tightened up considerably in the scrambly third period, tempers got a little flared. Horeoff and Deibert squared but no punches were thrown. Rebels’ Horcoff ended up on the short end with a four-minute penalty for roughing, while Deibert picked up two minutes. Rebels’ Valentine, who has shown short bursts of enthusiasm, took a foolish roughing penalty with the Rebels already one man short. Rossland’s persistence on this power play did not result in a goal being scored but only the efforts of Rebels goalie Steve Voykin and Dan Taylor helped foil their attempts. Rebels defence really jelled for this outing and it looked like this part of the game is starting to stabilize. Kevin Biln, up from the Midget Hockey Club scored a goal in his first game and his efforts showed he has a chance at earning a spot with the Rebels. Dave Terhune on a two-on-one solo scored the prettiest goal of the game by skating in close and squeezing the puck past the Warrior goaltender. Referee Mas Fusibayshi was called on in third period to keep things in perspective. Talking to players after the game they agreed that his efforts in the third period were appreciated. Nelson Jr. Leafs found the net early Tuesday night in the first period and after building a 6-0 lead slacked off and let the Rebels make a game of it. Final score after 60 minutes of spirited play was 86 in favor of Nelson. Rebels held the play for most of the third period but were unable to make the most of their seoring chances. Referee Bob Mitchell had his hands full and with the exception of a few skirmishes after scrambles, he kept the flow going. Rebels’ Valentine was lucky to get away with a 10-minute misconduct after his run-in with the referee. Jr. Leafs forward Doug Jay scored four times for his teammates. chenia School hosts a cross country run for elementary students in School District No. 9. This year was no ex ception.

The major reason is that doctors are ignorant of key legal decisions, says the study published in the latest issue of the Osgoode Hall Law Journal. And of those doctors sur- veyed who were aware of the Supreme Court of Canada decision, most appeared not to appreciate its importance, the study says. The court ruled in 1980 that physicians must disclose to patients what they know, or ought to know, a patient would want to be told when they are disclosing the risks in a treatment. Gerald Robertson of the University of Alberta's law faculty said in an interview that doctors should be offer. ing more information to their patients without having to be asked for it, and that patients should be brought into the decision-making process to a greater extent. Patients need to know more about potential side. effects of a treatment, about velopments than in legal ones,” said Lee, whose asso- ciation provides malpractice protection for more than 80 per cent of the country's 44,000 physicians. “It's taking a long time for stuff to filter down.” Lee said the informed consent prob- lem is not very often the basic issue in a malpractice allegation but, rather, the issue is added to an alle. gation. Robertson, who specializes in medical-legal issues, said he couldn't predict whether patients would try to sue their doctors more often if they knew about the level of information the patient should be given. He noted that an aspect of the ruling has made it more difficult for patients to sue doctors successfully Lette CAMBRIDGE, ENG LAND (AP) What was on the minds of Jews who lived 800-900 years ago in Cairo, Egypt?

They are in the library of Cambridge University among 140,000 pieces of pap yrus, vellum and paper with writing on them, recovered from a dusty room in a Cairo synagogue. The oldest date back more than 1,000 years “They took eight weeks to collect and 80 years since to preserve, classify and house, and studying them will last forever,” said the man who looks after them, Stephan Reif, a British scholar of Hebrew and Aramaic Reif, 40, calls the treasure the world’s most important collection of Semitic manu scripts. “The fragments cover al most every aspect of Jewish life, trade and language and by studying them we can dis cover a lot about who the Jews are and where they came from,” he said in an interview Among the scraps is a let ter by Moses Maimonides, the 12th century, Spanish Reif pulled out a box. “This is a letter, from the time of the First Crusade in 1098,” he said. “The writer tells his friend, who is the head of a village near Aske lon, that he is terrified by news of the advancing armies and says: ‘Ask your Moslem friends to allow me to move to Askelon which is better fortified.” “If he got to Askelon, he would have survived as it held out against the Christ. ians for 40 years.” Jews traditionally never destroyed any writing which contained a sacred reference, or was in Hebrew, their holy tongue, Reif said. Instead they were stored and later buried, as discoveries at the Ben Ezra synagogue in Old Cairo proved. “The papers were poked through a hole in a wall of the synagogue and fell into a space called the genizah, which means depository or storeroom. The climate was dry so nothing moldered away, but the manuscripts did disintegrate in the pas sage of time and from the weight of paper piled up,” Reif said The collection is named after the late Charles Taylor and Solomon Schechter. Tay lor, then master of St. John's College at Cambridge, pro- vided the funds for Sche- chter, a Romanian scholar of Talmudic literature at the university, to go to Cairo. Schechter was the first to realize that the scattered material had a single source. He was inspired to seek it out in 1896, when two wealthy Scottish widowed _ sisters, Agnes Lewis and Margaret Gibson, showed him manus cripts they had bought in Cairo. One leaf was from a long-lost Hebrew version of Ben Sira, the Book of Ec clesiastes in the Christian Apocrypha Scholars had known about the Cairo genizah for some time, but there were legends of a snake guarding the en. nd in Cairo trance and misfortune befall ing those who tampered with it, said Reif. “However, synagogue offi cials had sold items to tour ists. There were 60,000 pieces in the St. Petersburg (now Leningrad, USSR) Im perial Library alone, and others in London, Philad elphia, Budapest, Paris, Ox ford and Cambridge.” Amed with letters of rec ommendation from the uni. versity and England's chief rabbi, Schechter set off for Cairo, where he managed to convince the Jewish com- munity to let Cambridge look after the fragments. Schechter sorted 30,000 pieces by 1902, when he left to become president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York. He died in 1915.
