Calling themselves the Unknowns, their roster included some familiar local names, in- cluding a pair of award winning fastball players and a collection of the city’s top ball players and all- round athletes. After losing the first game of the tourney the team went on to win seven straight, including the championship game over Nelson’s Savoy Pub, to bring home the $1,000 in prize money. Unknowns co-coach and player Mike Roloff said sure his team was stacked, but with 28 teams in the tourney — from as far away as the Lower Mainland, Calgary and Spokane — he doesn’t feel the least bit guilty about it. “*It’s a serious tournament and it wasn’t easy I'll tell ya’,”’ said Roloff. ‘‘I knew we had some really good talent on the team but we'd never played together so we weren’t really sure how we were going to do.”’ It didn’t take long for the Unknowns to make a name for themselves in Nakusp,: and after that first game ‘‘we had no problems . . .,’’ said Roloff. “The first game we were just feeling each other out basically. 1 think it (the loss) was good for us because it might have brought us down to earth a bit.’’ With Castlegar Men’s Fastball League batting champion Adrian Markin and playoff all-star Deane Horning leading the charge the Unknowns never tom the rest of the way. Horning was named the tour- nament MVP but the award could have easily went to Markin or Clay Martini, said Roloff. “Don’t get me wrong, Deane deserves it, he played excellen but it was so close. Clay Marti hit over .800 for the weekend and Adrian Markin was in the run- ning. I didn’t envy the selection guys,”’ he said. The Unknowns split the prize money between them with each pocketing about $86 said Roloff. The other members of the team were : Tom Campbell, Wendy Zino, Patty Apenmaier, Adrian Strelaeff, Kim Southwell and Duane Weir. Pressure’'s on but Faldo's cool BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Nick Faldo says he feels no pressure in his quest to become only the second professional to win three of golf's four major i ips in one accomplishment 37 years ago when he won the Masters and the U.S. and British open events. - Hogan missed a chance at the i Grand Slam when he was season. “It’s no real pressure on it because unable to return from Britain in time for the PGA, which was played the PGA CHAMPIONSHIP it’s not as though you're expected to do it,"’ Faldo said Wednesday. ‘‘It’s something that would be great to ac- hieve. Faldo needs a victory in the 72nd PGA Championship ‘which began Thursday on the 7,145-yard Shoal Creek course to match Ben Hogan’s following week in 1953. Faldo has already claimed the 1990 titles im the Masters and the British Open. He narrowly missed becoming involved in the U.S. Open playoff when his 12-foot putt lipped out on the 72nd hole. “Sure, I wonder what might have been,”’ the British golfer said. ‘‘It's as simple as that. I gave it a go; it just didn’t come off."” The only player in history to win a Grand Slam was amateur Bobby Jones in 1930 — when the four majors were the U.S. and British opens and amateurs. Faldo’s quest moves into the spotlight as golf, not the controversy of the last six weeks, takes centre Stage at Shoal Creek. The site became a controversial issue in June when it was learned Shoal Creek had no black members. The Southern Christian leadership Conference threatened to picket the tournament until Shoal Creek gave an honorary membership to a black businessman last week. The PGA of America announced Wednesday its site selection for future PGA Champsionships will require clubs acting as hosts to have minority group members. “Those courses selected for the PGA Championship beginning in 1995 will have minori » including women and blacks, as members,”’ said Jim Awtrey, executive director of the PGA of America. Challenging Faldo are U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin and Payne Stewart, trying to become the first PGA repeat champion since Denny Shute won it 1936-37 when the format was match play. The PGA went to stroke play in 1958. All three players aré considered among the favorites on this course, which demands accurate tee shots to avoid the deep rough that has had many players grumbling during the Practice rounds. Other straight shooters who could figure in the title chase include Tom Kite, Mike Reid and Paul Azinger, who has made the open cut only once in five tries when he finished second two years ago. Others in the field include Australian Greg Norman, lan Woosnam of Wales, Spain’s Seve Ballesteros, Curtis Strange. Small piece could mean big things for pool By CasNews Staff Verona Walker is hoping Castlegar’s little piece of the Provin- cial Aquatic Championships will turn into something big. “Probably a lot of people in Castlegar haven’t seen water polo before, except on TV, so maybe if we get enough people out to watch, we might create some interest and we can get a water polo activity or program going here,’’ said Walker, the city’s parks and recreation co-ordinator. What Walker would most like is for the 200 seats set up at the Castlegar Aquatic Centre to be filled when the provincial championships get going with water polo games beginning here Wednesday. . ‘Water polo, which wraps ‘up with the championship games Thursday, is the only event of the four day provin- cial’s being held at the Aquatic Cen- tre. . The rest of the events are being held at the Wright Pool in Trail- with diving also beginning Wednesday, synchronized swimming on Thursday and speed swimming Friday and Saturday. . While ‘no ‘locals will be involved in water polo, Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Club has over 30 miembers competing in Trail while the Robson Johnson win gold TORONTO (CP) — Ben Johnson, given a second chance by the federal Rose begins sentence MARION, Ill. (AP) — Pete Rose is signing autographs and posing for pictures — not for fans, but for federal prison officials. Baseball’s all-time hits leader surrendered Wednesday for his five- month prison term at the Federal Work Camp and .was promptly fingerprinted, photographed and signed in until his release Jan. 7. Rose’s wife, Carol, droye him into downtown Marion and a prison van please see ROSE, page 82 P Thursday he'll win the 100-metre gold medal for Canada at the 1992 Barcelona Olym- Pics. “I'll win the gold medal for sure,’’ the sprinter said at a makeshift news conference held on the driveway of his suburban Scarborough home. ‘‘I have to prove to myself all over again that I can do it without drugs.’” Sports Minister Marcel Danis an- nounced earlier in the day Johnson’s lifetime ban from federal funding would remain, but the government would leave the question of com- petitive eligibility for Johnson and other athletes under similar suspen- sion up to the respective national sports federations. That means they cannot claim the $650 a month currently paid by the government to the country’s top River Otters club has three making the trip. Walker says since Castlegar’s new Aquatic Centre — completed in January — doesn’t have the capability to stage all the provincial events, it’s nice to just get a piece of the action. “We don’t have a diving tank and we don’t have an eight lane pool (which is required for speed swim- ming events) so there’s not much more we can do. (But) it should be a really good experience and exposure for Castlegar and the Aquatic Cen- tre.”” Castlegar isn’t entirely left out of the glamour events as there will be a synchronized swimming demon- ‘stration here Saturday night. Walker says the shdw fits in nicely with a week long ‘synchronized swimming Program being offered at the Aquatic Centre beginning two days after the provincials end. “And in September we're hoping to put in a synchro. program,”’ she said. The same could be done for water polo if enough interest is shown, she added. ‘‘If we can create interest in two separate activities that we don’t have programs in, that’s good.”’ vows to again athletes. Minutes after the Danis announ- cement, Athletics Canada president Paul Dupre said his organization was prepared to welcome Johnson back after his two-year suspension expires Sept. 24, provided he can meet team standards. “This is one of the happiest days of my life, so far,’’ said Johnson, dressed in a white track suit and run- ning shoes. ‘‘I’m just very happy that the government gave me the OK to run for this country again.”” Johnson isn’t sure what kind of reception he'll get from his team- mates. At the national track and field championships in Montreal last week, Johnson was a guest of Athletics Cana seated in the VIP section. That didn’t sit too well with some of the athletes, who felt the spotlights should have been on them and not Johnson. pe like they were doing Thursday. every morning you can find a bunch of A SWISH AND A SPLASH Oo il il You don't have to be seven feet tall or know much about dribbling to play water basketball, which is one of the main reasons it's such a big hit with the kids.
