Hardware Controversial Games close By GEOFF FRASER Canadian Press EDINBURGH — The Sesttish weather brought rain and mist Saturday to close the controversy-ridden 13th Commonwealth Games. But the precipitation at Meadowbank Stadium didn't dampen the spirits of the athletes and 22,000 founded more than 300 years ago — began the closing ceremonies, with the crowd clapping in time to pipes and including the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Edward. England finished at the top of the overall and gold medal standings, winning the final race of the Games to collect 52 gold medals to Canada's 51. England's 4x400-metre men's relay team battled 60-kilometre-an-hour wind to win the final race of the Games. The Queen presented the 4x400 relay medals, including bronze medals to the Canadian team of Atlee Mahorn and Anton Skerritt, both of Toronto, Andre Smith of Winnipeg and John Graham of Calgary. The presentation of the Guard of Honor by the Ist Battalion, The Black Watch — the Scottish regiment (Seottish) Air Defence Regiment, Royal Artillery, fired « 21-gun salute at Hollyrood Park. The 26 teams that competed in the Games — 82 boycotted to protest Britain's refusal to impose economic sanctions on South Africa — marched into the stadium. Each was represented by a flag-bearer and a trio of athletes. Carrying the flag for Canada was Sharon Bowes, 19, of Pointe-Claire, Que., who won the first gold medal of the Games on July 25. She was the first women to qualify for the Games shooting team at the Games. The other three athletes marching for Canada were sprinter Angela Taylor Issajenko, 27, of Toronto, boxer Seott Olson, 18, and cyclist Alex Ongaro, 22, both of crow 1.44 1.44 von 1.44 Se = 1.44 1.44 1.44 1.44 1.44 1.44 1.44 | sree 1.44 | sseces. 1.44 | eirss. 1.44 1.44] 1.44 14 o7. 8-10.

Al's Galat new Lions GM MONTREAL (CP) — Joe Galat must have read the writing on the wall when Norm Kimball moved to Montreal earlier this year to run the Montreal Alouettes, the CFL team Galat served as general manager since 1984. Galat, however, wrote the final chapter of his football history in this city by joining the British Columbia Lions as GM of the Canadian Football conference to announce his hiring. “It's an excellent job and has so many good things going for it.” Kimball's hands-on policy for the team seemed to make Galat’s job redundant. While the Als were on a recent two-week road trip, for example, Galat remained be- hind in Montreal and seemed more like a man on vacation than a football executive at work. Galat denied there was friction between himself and Kimball. “People said myself and Norm wouldn't get along but I though we got along well,” said Galat, who was one of Kimball's critics when he was with the Edmonton Eskimos. “I was content and felt I could work under him.” Galat was in his fourth season with the Montreal team. He resigned as coach last year, a position he had held since 1981, but he stayed on as general manager. With Kimball holding the Als’ reins, Galat made no secret he was looking for em. ployment elsewhere and he had applied for several jobs with football teams at Ameri- can universities and colleges. When Bob Ackles quit as the Lions’ GM to become the personnel director of the Dal- las Cowboys of the NFL, Galat applied for the B.C. job in June with the blessing of Kimball and he made the short list of two or three unnamed candidates. The deal bringing him to the defending Grey Cup champions was struck Thurs- day when Galat and Lions team president Grant (Woody) McLaren met in Seattle. “We finally selected the man who we believe can do the job for us in Joe Galat,” McLaren told a news con- ference in Vancouver. “We believe we've negotiated a good contract with Joe and he will be a credit to the organization.” McLaren said one of the reasons Galat was hired was his ability to sell tickets. That trait, however, didn't ma terialize in Montreal, where the Alouettes suffer from poor attendance. Montreal lost 37-10 to Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. TAKE THAT! , . Edmonton. Issajenko and Olson won gold medals, Ongaro a silver, among Canada's 115 medals. Bowes struggled with the flag against the strong wind. The Scottish flag ripped from the pole carried by its stan- dard-bearer. As the march finished, hundreds of the athletes left the stands and poured onto the field, carrying flags and trailing streamers. ‘The Commonwealth Games’ flag — a gold symbol on a dark blue background — was lowered. It is to be raised next eagerness, courage and honor, for the good of humanity and the peace of the world.” With the pressure and tension for the 10 days of competition over, many among the 1,685 athletes who participated marched around the stadium track, saluting the crowd. GOLD MEDAL RACE England takes final event tobeat Canada By KOROBANIK EDINBURGH (CP) — Vietories by Canadian men's and women’s relay teams failed to keep pace with an onrushing English team which won the final event of the 13th Commonwealth Games Saturday to edge Canada for the gold , medal crown. With the Queen watching from the Royal box at Meadowbank Stadium, 's men's 4x400 relay squad won the seventh gold medal of the day for the English team which ended the boycott-marred Games with 52 gold medals. Canada finished with 51 gold, its best performance ever. After winning 16 gold medals on Friday, Canada began the final day of competition in the 10-day Games with 49 gold medals to 45 for England. ‘The Canadian men's 4x100-metre relay team, comprised of four Toronto ters — Ben Johnson, 24, gold medallist in the 100-metre dash; Atlee Mahorn, 20, winner of the 200; Mark McKoy, 24, who won the 110-metre hurdles, and Desai Williams, 27 — added to the haul by sprinting to a Games record 39.16 seconds. England was second, host Scotland third. The Canadian women’s 4x400-metre relay squad — Charmaine Crooks, 23, and Molly Killingbeck, 27, both of Toronto, Jillian Richardson, 21, of Calgary, and Marita Payne, 25, of Concord, Ont. — then led from the start to finish in three minutes 28.92 seconds to beat England and Australia. But England won seven of Saturday's 10 events — nine in track and field and one in cycling — to finish atop the medal standings. FINAL STANDINGS Final standings showed England with 142 medals, Australia with 120, including 40 gold, and Canads with 115. New Zealand was a distant fourth with $8 total medals. The English cause was aided by Steven Cram adding a gold medal in the 1,500 metres — in three minutes 50.87 seconds — to the 800-metre title he won Thursday. He became the first man since New Zealand's Peter Snell, in 1962, to complete the Games’ middle-distance double. Dave Campbell, 25, of Victoria, took the bronze. England's John Gladwin “the ‘ailver. Earlier, the Canadian women's 4x100 relay team ran to a silver medal. England took the gold, Wales the bronze. British Columbians Debbie Scott Bowker and Lynn Williams ran to a silver and bronze in the 1,500-metre race behind Kirsty Wade of Wales. Bowker, 27, of Victoria, won a second silver to go with the one she earned last Sunday when Williams, 26, of Burnaby, took gold in the 3,000-metre. NO PENSIONS FOR EX-MAJOR sioner’s office. Equitable pledged baseball $260,000 — $10,000 for each of 26 old-timers games — to be used to assist former players. It also pays participating players $1,000 for games.

Sprinter Johnson, anchor ing the 4x100-metre relay team, beat back a fierce run by English reserve Clarence Callender to help Canada claim the gold by just four one-hundredths of a second in 39.15 seconds. Cram, the world, European and Commonwealth cham- pion over 1,500 metres, needed a late surge to catch countryman John Gladwin and retain the title he won at the 1982 Games in Brisbane, Australia. Cram's winning time was 3:50.87. Gladwin took the silver in 3:54.01, while Dave Campbell, 25, of Victoria won the bronze in 3:54.06. When the last medal had been presented in a damp, chilly and windy Meadow bank Stadium, Canadian track and field athletes had collected formance at the Games — and attained goals set by officials prior to the opening July 24. ENGLAND WINS England won the athletics competition with 18 gold, 18 silver and 12 bronze. Aus- tralia finished with nine gold, five silver and 12 bronze. Canada’s other gold medal on the final day was captured by the women’s 4x400-metre relay team: Charmaine Crooks, 23, and Molly Killing. beck, 27, both of Toronto, Jillian Richardson, 21, of Cal- gary and Marita Payne, 25, of Concord, Ont. They won easily in 3:28.92, ahead of England in 3:32.82 and Australia in 3:32.86. The silver medals were won by the women’s 4x100 relay squad and Debbie Scott Bowker, 27, of Victoria in the women’s 1,500. Bronzes came from Campbell, Lynn Williams, 26, of Burnaby, B.C., in the women’s 1,500 and the men's 4x400 relay team. Johnson's medal was his third of the Games, coming after a gold in the 100 metre sprint and a bronze in the 200. The 24-year-old Jamaican- born sprinter from Toronto, who dashed to the second fastest 100 metres ever — 9.95 seconds — on July 9 at the Goodwill Games in Mos- cow, was happy with his overall performance. “[m very pleased in this type of weather,” he said. “It was nice to experience Edin- burgh, but I'm not coming back because it's too cold.” CATCHES UP Johnson needed ounce of energy. Teammates Mark McKoy, 24, Atlee Mahorn, 20, and Desai Williams, 27, all of Toronto, flubbed all three baton handoffs. Johnson said he started 10 metres back. Williams said it was four metres. Callender said he was behind when he took the baton The men’s 1,500 was run at a sluggish pace, with Cram in his customary position at the rear, until Gladwin made a break-on the bell lap. Cram, slow to react, found himself trailing the leader by 25 meters but ran Gladwin down on the final turn. Like Cram, Kirsty Wade of Wales won her 1,500 final to complete a rare double after winning the 800 metres earlier in the week. Wade was the first woman ever to post the middle-dis- tanee double at the Games. every LEAGUE STARS By HAL BOCK NEW YORK (AP) — Hall of Fame second baseman Charlie Gehringer served as honorary captain for the American League at the All-Star Game on July 15. The trip from his home in Michigan to Houston was paid for, just like the one he makes to Tampa each spring to serve on the old-timers committee of the Hall of Fame. That, however, is the only money Gehringer receives from baseball. His pension after 19 years of major-league service is zero. At age 83, he and his wife live on Social Security and income derived from his post-baseball career. “We get along.” Mrs. Gehringer said. Baseball is fond of trotting out old heroes and show- casing them at appropriate events. Nostalgia sells, but the revenue doesn't always reach those who generate it. The Gehringer story is repeated over and over. Every player, Hall of Famer or fringe performer, who left the game before 1947, when baseball instituted its first pension plan, is out of “We deal with several cases,” said Chuck Stevens, secretary-treasurer of the Association of Professional Base- ball Players of America, an organization that has aided indigent players for more than 60 years. OUTLIVED SAVINGS “One fellow, an all-star player from the ‘30s, a very familiar name, flat outlived his savings,” he said “He was not eligible fot any pension other than a small Social Security allowance. “It was minimal so we supplement it and let him live with some dignity.” Stevens's organization helps between 40 and 50 players every month. It is funded by a $30,000 grant from commis sioner Peter Ueberroth's office, public contributions and pledges from major and minor league players, matched dollar for dollar by owners. “It’s purely voluntary and we have 100-per-cent player participation,” Stevens said. The average contribution is $25 a year for major trague p players, who average well over $360,000 in annual salaries. There has been no income to Stevens's organization, however, from the Equitable Old-timers Series, a highly publicized program run in conjunction with the commis F DETAILS PENDING “We have a board and we have held two meetings with the third scheduled for Aug. 12,” said Joel Rubenstein, baseball's executive vice-president for corporate marketing. “We are trying to get a handle on what is going on with former players.” He said details still need to be worked out before players can get some of the Equitable money. Whatever is done with the money will not change the pension picture. “Pensions are not part of our program,” Rubenstein said. “This is all very heartwarming and overwhelming.” Hall of Famer Early Wynn said sarcastically. “I've been to meetings and i still don't understand what is happening.” Wynn, 66, serves as executive director of the Ex-Major Leaguer’s Pension Committee. He does not think the 30-per- cent increases that came with last year's collective bar- gaining agreement are sufficient for a booming industry like baseball MONEY INSUFFICIENT “When you're drawing $250 a month, 30 per cent doesn't amount to very much,” he said. “Their side is always sweet. “They say they have no obligation legally. When do you stop -having a moral obligation to widows of friends, of people you worked with?” The collective bargaining agreement which ended last season's brief strike provided an average of $33 million a year for the benefit package, which includes pensions. Legally. the union negotiates for its dues-paying members and has no obligation to former players. “Both sides agreed that at least a fair share of the settlement should be allocated to improve the old-timers’ pensions,” said Barry Rona, longtime counsel and now executive director of the owners’ Player Relations Committee TAKE THE RISK “You must remember, they (union members) are the ones paying the dues, the ones who are negotiating, the ones who are risking a strike. It is correct for them to receive a larger share. In normal pension circles, 30 per cent for old-timers would be considered fair and generous.” These, however, are not normal pensions. The settle ment, subject to Internal Revenue Service approval, pro vides a maximum total benefit of $90,000 for 10-year players who retired after 1970 and wait until age 62 to begin drawing on the plan. The lowest benefit available goes to 10-year players who retired between 1947 and 1959 and begin drawing at age 50. They would get $650, an increase of $150 per month. “Could they have been more generous 7° Rona asked. “The answer is yes.”
