Miracle on 42nd Street VENICE GARDENS, FLA. (AP) — Edward and Cynthia Crowe say it was a regular miracle on 42nd Street. The couple deplaned in Newark,-N.J., and got on a . bus to Manhattan when Crowe, a 47-year-old mer- chant seaman, put on his coat to brave the snow. His wallet, containing $1,140 in cash, credit cards and identification accidental- ly fell out and was left on the bus when they got off at the Port Authority Bus Terminal on 42nd Street. They didn't notice the wallet was missing until they tried to take the subway, his wife said. “That left them penniless except for some small change in Mrs. Crowe's purse and their return airplane tickets. ‘The couple cancelled their credit cards and returned home to Florida the same night. ° Aman identifying himself as William Karp of Louisville, Ky., called saying he had found the wallet and would return it by. mail. “We held our breath be- cause we thought the call was a ploy,” Mrs. Crowe said, but added that the letter arrived. Inside was Karp's cheque for the full cash amount — and a letter.

However, KIJHL presi- dent Jim Markle . did: not reverse the decision made by referee Dave Will to‘disallow an overtime goal scored by Rebel Perry’ Horning 14 sec- onds into: double ‘overtime. The goal would have seen the Rebels advance to game six of the playoff series. The puck was shot off the goal judges wire,’ bounced back onto the ice, and was’ picked up by Horning and backhanded into the Nelson net. ‘The goa]. was disallowed after Nelson protested and . after the'two linesmen were consulted. Terry Heddle then . seored the winning goal for Nelson at 6:62 to see’ the team advance to the West division finals. + “It was‘a hard decision,” said Markle.’ * “After receiving the pro- test, I consulted: the rule book and’a number of people who I have confidence in, in the league in the ‘area.” Markle said he also con- tacted” the B.C. Amateur Hockey Association referee- in-chief,; Ken - Wishart: of Prince George, who sugges- he contact Canadian Amateur Hockey Association referee-in-chief Bob Nadin of. Weston, Ont. Markle said both officials were strong in saying the ° referee Wills acted correctly. After reviewing the facts and the Rebels’ appeal, Mar- kle concluded that Will made. a judgment call and did not the puck was atill in play. The referee didn’t disallow the goal until the Rebels were headed for the dressing toom,: Nelson protested and linesmen, .. Brent ‘ Baulkham and Len Follkman of Creston, were consulted. ‘Normally the referee — who Markle said was stand- ing beside the goal — would have a better view of the ac- tion, but Will said he didn't see the puck go. out of play. But the linesmen, — Baulk- ham situated at the blue line on the red line — both saw the puck go out of bounds. Markle, who was manager of the Rossland Warriors for. eight years and has been KIJHL. president for one year, notes that it took him about five hours to come to his decision, “I-feel I made the right decision or I wouldn't have made it,” he said. “It would have been easier to .give’ the decision to Castlegar, but I had to make the right decision. “That didn't put Castlegar ° out of the series because they played. after that and each ‘team had: just as much oe a chance to score « goal" SYSON DIAGRERS But Rebels president Gary Hyson said he couldn't agree with Markle's decision. “For playoff hockey it’s not good enough,” said Hyson, who was a referee for about 20 yeara. : : “From what I have heard, I think the goal should have been allowed.” (Hyson did: not attend the game), : Hyson said he thought the puck should ‘still be in play, — because if it was out of play, the linesmen’ should. have blown the whistle immediate- ly. Hyson said the protest was the second turned down in two games. oe A protest was also made in the Feb. 19 game against the Leafs, which saw the Rebels lose 5-3." The ‘protest ‘was made under the same situation—a misinterpretation of the rules, * : It is unfortunate that both disputed games were dis- puted because: of.-decisions made by linesmen lacking playoff. experience, Hyson said. Hyson said the Rebels could appeal the decision to the BCAHA, ‘but. this in- volves -putting up another protest fee. ~ “We don’t feel it would be in our favor,” Hyson said, ,“But_ it does mean a lot to us to lose a game. We've lost all our fans for the rest of the season.” Hyson says the club feels short-changed on the ‘fact that there weren't more ex- perienced linesmen.on the linesman on the ice. “For playoff hockey you's ve got to pve’ ‘the best you've got,” he sai Folkman y in his sixth year as a linesman, while Baulkman is ‘seeing his sec- ond year of action, Hyson notes that the only way for an official to become better is to keep working games. “I-made lots.of mistakes - when I was a iinesman and a referee, but I was a better linesman as a result of mis- takes made,” he said. Even though the decision went . against the Rebels, Hyson said he felt resulting discussions would be of bene- fit to the officiating staff. The 24-year-old glider won the eighth World Cup down- hill of the season by covering the 3,795-metre course in two minutes, 14.88 seconds. ' Mueller's ‘success ‘was. al- * most ‘overshadowed by” the strong showing of the Can- * adian team. Steve Podborski of Toronto was second in 2:16.58 and Dave Irwin of Vernon, was third in 2:16.78. Canada had five racers in the top 18, Todd Brooker of Paris, Ont., was fifth in 2:16.87, Ken Read of Calgary was seyenth in 2:16.61 and Bob’ Styan of North Van- couver was 18th in 2:17.85. Felix Belezyk of Gaatooad was 37th in 2:20.04. Mueller, the 1979 and 1980 World Cup downhill points. is Whistler course all mek, was well back of the leaders, in -165h Place, ‘leaving . Pod- boreki seth 7118p points and as one of the best gliders among the downhill racers and at Whistler he put his edge to work. It also was his’ first win of the'season after he broke. his leg in Septem- ber while riding a bicycle. “Yesterday I spent one hour on the lower parts, the flats,” said Mueller. “I went up and down for one hour and today when I come down I know the course exactly.” Mueller said he also skied , Well on the tougher top part of the course and had the best interval time of 1:32.86. Podborski, also 24, moved closer to clinching the 1981-" _82 World Cup downhill over- all championship. He now has three wins and two seconds in eight races, with just two downhills left, March 6-6 at Aspen, COlo. Harti Weirather of Austr- ‘ia, who was critical of the th Weirather:,can: ‘win the . title, « however, if he wins both the Aspen races, leaving him with 116 points, but one more victory than Podborski. Podborski' seemed nearly as happy. with the overall Canadian team result ‘than his own placing. SETTING HELPED “It's fantastic what we've ‘done here. today,” he said. “We've been saying for along time that, when you come to any country, it’s good for that nation. “It’s just worked, worked out well. I'm really pleased for everyone. It just helps to be here.”: Overnight clearing condi- tions left the course, with a vertical drop of 942 metres, much faster than in training runs, with Mueller's winning time almost four seconds fas- ter than his best training run. Podborski was extremely pleased with his own run. He started 14th, a seeding he had hoped for the previous day. “I Teally can’t lose the World Cup now,” he added. “All Harti can do is win it — by winning twice at Aspen.” Podborski said that Read, who started third, radioed encouragement to other Can- adians at the top of the hill, OT IN GROOVE “Ken told us to stay in the groove: from the earlier ra- cers and really go for it,” said Podborski. “There was a groove down there and you just had to stay really on top of it.” Read said he was satisfied with his finish because there “wasn’t much of a groove for us to work with at the start.” Irwin, 27, said he skied the course “just like in training” and had his only problems near the top of the course. “I skied those last sections pretty well,” Irwin said. “I carried a lot of speed on the lower flats and that’s where I might have made up some time.” Irwin added that the en- thusiasm of the home crowd gave all the Canadians a boost because “you don't hear that anywhere, not even Kitzbuehel.” Chris Kent of Calgary was the next best Canadian, 28rd in 2:19.09, Doug Kerr of Cranbrook, was in 2:19.52, Robin McLeish‘ of Kanata, Ont, 84th in 2:19.88, Dave Murray of Whistler 36th in 2:19.99, Felix Belezyk of Castlegar, 37th in 2:20.04, Paul Boivin of Montreal 49rd in 2:20.66, Jeff MacInnis of Toronto 44th in 2:20.68, Gary Athans of Kelowna, 47th in 2:21.52.

(CP) — Todd Gray of British Columbia was heavy with’ his final rock, sliding through the house and letting John Base of Ontario steal a single and take a 4-8 victory in the final of .the Pepsi Junior Canadian men's curl- ing championship Saturday. Gray and his Vancouver rink ‘appeared to have taken ‘control of the game in the eighth end when Gray had an" open draw to the eight foot to scoré two for a 3-1 lead: * But Gray, who made two excellent shots to set up the B.C. two in the eighth, came up narrow with his last rock in the ninth to give Ontario the chance to get back in the game. Base _ didn't ‘waste the chance, drawing through a port for two to tie the game. In the 10th, Base and Gray exchanged difficult takeout and stick shots in the four foot. Base drew the four foot behitid ‘cover with his last rock and Gray's attempt to basically duplicate that shot was heavy and narrow. “That last rock was prob- ably the only shot he missed in the ganie,” said the jubil- iant Base of Gray’s crucial miss. “He and his team didn't miss much all game. . “We were hoping to make him throw.a hit and then a draw with his final two rocks to-make it as difficult as possible.-I thought his shot was'heayy but it wass such ‘: an important shot. all we could do.was hope,”* Base — with third Bruce “Webster, secqnd Daye Me- + Anerney and lead Jim Don- . ahoe — were in trouble after the eighth end, but they were the most: consistent rink all week and in the end their ability to make the shots un- 2 der pressure paid off. © -Gray, third Mike Slattery, second Greg Kastes and lead Kelly Fortman of Swift Cur- rent were also consistent. ‘West German wins women's Cup ASPEN, COLO.
