(AP) — Un- happy running back Rueben Mayes wants to be traded by the New Orleans Saints rather than play for the NFL team under his existing con- tract. The North Battleford, Sask. native said he is making a list of six teams for which he would like to play and that the Seattle Seahawks were ‘‘a pos: ry. Mayes, 2S, has been named to the Pro Bowl in his two seasons with the Saints. The former Washington State star was a third-round draft choice by New Orleans in 1986. He underwent extensive knee sur- gery after helping the Saints post a 12-4 regular-season record last sea- son to get into the playoffs for the first time. Mayes, whose off-season home is in Seattle, said Saints president and general manager Jim Finks “‘misled”’ him into thinking he would get a salary increase in 1988 to compensate for his successful first two years. He is currently ‘in the third year of a three-year contract he signed as a rookie. Mayes walked out of the Saints’ training camp in LaCrosse, Wis., Monday after Finks told him he has a principal of not renegotiating con- tracts. Mayes immediately came to Sea- ttle where he and his agents have been working ‘‘behind the scenes’’ to change Fink’s mind. But they have been unsuccessful “I’m the fourth-highest paid run- ning back on the team and the 66th- highest paid in the league,” said Mayes, whose base salary is $175,000 US a year. ‘‘But I've been to the Pro Bowl two years. I just want to be compensated fairly.”’ In return for a pay raise in 1988, Mayes said he was offering to extend his current contract for another year or more He declined to reveal how much he wanted. Finks has made it clear that part of the problem is Mayes’s history of in- juries in the last two seasons. BOQY BUILDING . . .

Johnson looking to improve form COLOGNE, West Germany (CP) — Ben Johnson's first loss to Carl Lewis in almost three years hasn't dimmed his confidence, but it has altered his plans In what was his biggest test since a serious hamstring injury, the Toronto sprinter showed he still has some homework to do before the Seoul Olympics.

Lewis has established his creden- tials as No. 1 so far this season. His winning time of 9.93 seconds in the Zurich showdown is the fastest this year, and he has run three other legal races faster than 10 seconds Johnson, who has been carrying the weight of Canada’s Olympic hopes on his brawny shoulders since Rome, said his new status could be beneficial “It's good to take some pressure off me, because I was carrying a lot of pressure for almost a year,”’ said the world record holder at 9.83 seconds. “I know he's in very good shape, and I've got something to shoot for.”’ POOR TECHNIQUE Francis, who has analysed the videotape of the race, said he was amazed that Johnson ran 10-flat with the technique he had. “He's certainly got a helluva lot left," said the coach. ‘‘I watched the race last night, and it was quite a mess. “He never got in his stride: it was really ragged. W fot some things to work on, not’any major changes, but he has to clean up his tech- nique."* Francis said his prize sprinter was distracted by the false start charged against him, which apparently was triggered by a camera flash before the starter fired the pistol Matthews hopes to coach again OTTAWA (CP) — Don Matthews wants to coach football again, and the sooner the better. It has been almost nine months since Mi This club doesn’t play on the edge any more,"’ he think we used to make things happen more."’ was fired by the B.C. Lions and his enthusiasm to get back was never greater than Thursday at Ottawa's Lansdowne Park when he saw his old team beat the Rough Riders 27-20. “‘In one way it has been great," he said. ‘‘Being a football coach eats up a lot of your family time. My wife and I have learned a lot about ourselves, but I want to coach agaiu. I really miss it, more than you can imagine.” It was a nostalgic 24 hours for Matthews, now 49 years old and a special assignment’ scout for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League. On the eve of Riders game he went out for dinner with his former assistants Adam Rita, Steve Buratto, Ron Smeltzer and Bob Vespaziani, who remain with the Lions. ‘*We didn’t talk too much about the current team, but we recalled all the good things that happened and all the funny stories came up,’’ Matthews said. Matthews spent almost five seasons as Lions head coach, winning 60 of 87 games for the third-highest winning percentage in CFL coaching history. CUP In that span he led the Lions to two Grey Cup games, winning one. In 10 full CFL séasons — six as an assistant in Edmonton — he was involved in 10 Grey Cups. He was on the winning side six times. He arrived at Lansdowne Park with a certain antici- pation. “l in’t know how I was going to feel or react,’’ he said. ‘Living in San Diego we rarely get CFL scores. But this B.C. team is so different from the team I left last year."” The Lions have 13 new starters and no longer play the aggressive pressure football that was a Matthews trademark. was always as an ij and a players’ coach, When veteran defensive back Larry Crawford saw Matthews along the sidelines before the game, he jogged over and warmly greeted his old coach. “I feel fortunate I saw him,’’ Crawford said. ‘‘He was more than justsa coach to me. He was a close friend.”” The close relationship with his players is one reason why Matthews was fired, even though the club had an 8-6 record and was in the thick of the Western Division race. VIEWS DIFFER Joe Galat, Lions general manager, felt the club was and Galat never had a better opportunity to . It’s no secret that Galat and Matthews had different views on the direction of the club. The hurt of the firing still stings, but Matthews remains reluctant to discuss it. He had this year remaining on his contract with the Lions, but he has been the victim of financial woes. He says he has lost $103,000 in wages. He tried to reclaim it recently in bankruptcy court but lost. He has honed his golf and tennis games and says he never has had so much idle time. Matthews said he wasn't contacted when the Riders fired head coach Fred Glick last month. Now he regularly attends training-camp workouts of the Chargers. He tried to get a job as an assistant in the NFL but there were no openings. “Due to the players’ strike there few coaching changes,"’ he said. ‘‘But the Chargers seem to be interested in me. The Colts and Lions also have talked to me about assistant jobs for next year. “If anyone ever offered me a head coaching in Canada I'd be very interested. I like Canada and I like Canadian football. It was good to me.’ Montreal By BARRY WILNER Associated MONTREAL — It was called the Molson Chal- lenge. It was, the citizens of Montreal hope, the first step in the biggest football challenge ts city has undertaken. The NFL exhibition game Thursday night be- tween the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns meant a lot more to the organizers than to the participants. To the Jets and Browns, it was just another pre-season game. For Molson Breweries, which sponsored the first NFL contest in Canada since 1969, it was an opportunity to show Montreal would be a viable place for an expansion team. “*We believe that Montreal would ibe @ success- ful professional football city again,” said Andre Tr of sales for Mol- son Breweries. ‘‘At this point, however, this game is woos NFL a one-shot thing. “It has the blessing of the league and, depending on the results and the interest of NFL teams, we will consider more pré-season games."’ Commissioner Pete Rozelle has said the NFL will expand by two teams “approximately two years after a collective bargaining agreement is in place.’ Montreal, which has not had a pro football team since the Alouettes folded just prior to the 1987 season, will not be one of the expansion sites. “Commissioner Rozelle feels there are enough viable candidates in the United States.” league | spokesman Joe Browne said. ‘‘Canada is not in the picture. “The commissioner is very aware and sensitive of the CFL and its problems. The league has been around for so many years and I think there would be serious reservations by a number of clubs about going into Canada.” Weekend Wrap-up BASEBALL NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division w eee Bes Ationte: ite — Gelorrogo, Montreal, 147: Sex, Los Angeles v8 Doubles New York ot Sen Drogo wool, 34 Lovie, 10.

Unfortunatley, one of the bricks aimed at the Inn overloud background music got the Princess. The latter half of our coastal odyssey centred around Victoria and Vancouver and produced another shower of bouquets and bricks. While staying with my sister and husband in Victoria, we decided to try our luck on an anniversary dinner, with our hosts making the choice. They had heard of an establish- ment called Al's House of Ribs on Douglas Street. We made a reservation, we went, and we hit the jackpot. John Charters Reflections and recollections From the outside Al’s is an unobtrusive, modest-looking place as good restaurants should be. On the inside it is well-appointed, comfortable and the warmth with which we were received by host Al and his wife Vi gave it a distinctly family atmosphere. The menu offered a wide selection but, since the house had established a reputation on its barbecued spareribs, we all, in consultation with Vi, chose them for the entree. They were preceded by the usual but very good salad and accompanied by garlic bread, baked potato and vegetables. But that was where ‘‘usual’’ ended. Moist, tender and subtly delicious, those ribs were some of the best that I have ever eaten. The regular portion at $11.50 was all that any of us could handle, though there was a ‘‘large’’ helping offered (heaven forbid) at a slightly higher price. However, it was the several ‘‘extras’’ which elevated a ‘‘very good’’ meal into an outstanding one. The first of these was the extra large napkins which I had, on coming in from the sunlight, mistaken for white tapers stuck into the tall wine glasses. They are an essential in the hand-to-hand conflict between customer and choice ribs. Then, there were the finger bowls with lemon of course to keep the pinkies working, but (and a more important but) they were followed at the end of the engagement with hot moist towels to finish the job — an ancient and civilized custom borrowed from the Chinese. And what a difference it makes. Throughout the meal, Gillian, a professional pianist, played a soft, seductive and entirely delightly arrangement of movie theme songs and old and new favorites in a manner which won her repeated rounds of deserved applause. During the entire time, she paused only twice, first when Al took the microphone to announce that a couple (us — someone had tattled) was celebrating a 22nd wedding anniversary, whereupon Gillian played an anniversary song; then to the accompaniment of patron applause Vi presented each of us with a dish of French ice cream surmounted with a glowing sparkler. She paused a second time when Al again picked up the microphone and announced that a “young lady,”’ a regular patron, was celebrating her 94th birthday. As Gillian played Happy Birthday for the patron Vi delivered a large, lighted birthday cake. In the small dining room it was just right (i.e. non-plastic). Finally, when the coffee was served it was accompanied by cream — in a proper cream pitcher! A splendid evening and an establishment in which the Victoria Tourist Bureau can take much pride. What Victoria can be less proud of, including the fat $5 entry fee into our provincial museum and the almost obsessive commercialism of a once unqiue city, is the ‘‘burial’’ of an essential part of British Columbia’s history. I refer to the total obscuring of the historic Helmcken House. For the benefit of those whose concept of history has been HISTORIC HOME . . . Helmcken House in Vic- toria was built in 1852 as home for John Sebastian Helmcken, first doctor on the west: coast. Ottawa to negotiate terms for British Columbia's entry into Confederation. The first part of Helmcken House was built of logs in 1852 with other parts being added until the 1880s. Dr. Helmcken. married the daughter of Governor James Douglas and lived in the house until his death in 1920. It is full of memorabelia and was a landmark and the place to visit for many years. Today it is a well preserved but forgotten non-entity carefully hidden behind that Provincial Museum and Totem Park, whose valuable { Ac HELPING HAND... .

I then inquired of the several pleasant young guides ranged along the front of the Empress Hotel. They somewhat blushingly admitted that they had never heard of it. I finally found it with the assistance of a museum guide and thoroughly enjoyed the tour and dramatization of the private life of Dr. Helmcken that the Helmcken House guides put on. It was delight- ful. It struck me that they were not inundated by visitors, and with good reason. Citizens and visitors are being short changed and I for one am alarmed and angry. Shades of Orwell's 1984! Our last two days were spent in Steveston at the mouth of the Fraser River with Bunny’s sister Joan and her husband Wally. Steveston was a Japanese-Canadian fishing village before the ill-advised, forced evacuation of the people in 1942. In spite of present mushroom housebuilding it manages to retain its old fashioned village without self. i and it is still an important coastal fishing village, complete with docks, boats and a fish processing plant. “Since the Clifford home is just one block from the water we can watch the steady stream of masts and trolling booms gliding swiftly behind the sea dikes like ducks in a shooting gallery as they move in and out of the grounds. On closer inspection one finds the wharfs behind the dikes are lined with people fishermen of every age and description all eagerly angling for the little tommy cod — which seem to be in season. Tied to the docks are an equally varied fishing vessels getting ready for the next brief run of the brief season... Finally there is Pajo’s, a large low dock with a fish and chip restaurant doing a roaring trade. Fresh caught fish, cod or halibut, lightly battered, melts in the mouth like a caress, while robust, full-flavored chips, suitably anointed are served in wax-paper lined newspaper cones and devoured, with suitably appreciative sounds on the benches which line the dock. Highly recommended for summer time fish and chips affi There is a second fish and chip obscured in the mists in the bject of Social Studies borrowed so many years ago from the American educational system, Helmcken House was once the home of Dr. John Sebastian Helmcken, the first doctor on the Pacific West Coast, founder of the British Columbis Medical Society, pioneer | in the village which operates all the year and can also be recommended.
