Umps aren't the
only blind ones
at this ball game

BELMONT, MAN. (CP) —
It’s the bottom of the seventh in-
ning in the heat of a home team
rally, and the announcer is pon-
dering one of baseball’s eternal
questions.

“Who's on first?’’. asks
Maurice Myers, turning to
longtime play-by-play _ partner
Dick Campbell.

No, this is not the classic Ab-
bott and Costello comedy sketch.

Myers, who’s blind, has to ask
what’s happening on the field.

Campbell and Meyers have
been calling games for Riverside
Canucks senior baseball team for
the last 27 years, since the league
first requested teams have public
address announcers in 1964.

Campbell, 66, watches and
scores the game, then whispers
details of the action to Myers,
who relays the information to fans
over the public address system.

“I can only see light,’’ Myers
explains.

“Dick does it all. I sit beside
him and he follows the game.’’

But after 30 years of keeping
score, Campbell said this will be
his last year in the booth. Myers
said it will also be his final season
because he could never work with
another partner.

“It’s been nothing but fun for
us . . . but things don’t go on
forever,” Myers said.

For Campbell, a Minto-area
farmer, it was a chance to con-
tinue an association with the
Canucks that began in 1949.

For Myers, whose sight’ was
fading in the early 1960s, it was an
opportunity to stay in baseball.

“It’s something I always wan-
ted to. do,”’ says Myers, 74, who
lives in nearby Wawanesa.

So the duo began calling the fir-
st of hundreds of games, perched
everywhere from the end of the
players bench to the back of an
old grain truck.

They have followed the
Canucks, perennial powers in the
Manitoba Senior Baseball League,
to almost every diamond in the
province.

After 30 years playing on a ball
field in Riverside, the team moved
to Boissevain in the mid-1970s.
Four years ago, the Canucks
migrated to Belmont, 70
kilometres southeast of Brandon.

The players, the home field and
even the game have changed, but
Campbell and Myers have
remained constant.

After this many years, they do
the job with ease, like two veteran
infielders turning a double play.
In fact, many fans and players
don’t realize the guy calling the
play can’t even see it.

“It was a couple years before I
even knew it,”’ said Bob William-
son, a veteran Canuck.

The pair, who constantly chat
about the game while in the
booth, claim never to have been in
an argument.

Campbell has a theory about
their compatibility.

“*Two people who can both see
might be arguing over whether
this is an error, or that is a hit,’’
he said with a smile. ‘‘But since
Maurice can’t see he has to take
my word for it.””

teams used most of the 75 players,
mostly rookies and substitutes, on
their ample benches.

“*The people seemed to enjoy them-
selves,’’ said businessman Gerry
Snyder; who has been trying to land
an NFL franchise for 20 years. ‘‘We
were pleased with the turnout with

conditions in Montreal these days.

“With Meech Lake, the Indians (in
a month-long standoff with police at
Oka) and with the Expos up for sale,
everyone’s on a down right now. It’s
not an example of what will show up
if we do get an NFL franchise here.””

One NFL official was disappointed
with the turnout but refused to go on
record. Others looked for a silver

“It was a very positive experience
for_us,"’ said Steelers president Dan
Rooney. ‘‘The. players enjoyed
coming. here and it seemed the crowd
supported the Steelers."’

“*I don’t see any reason Montreal
4houldn’t be a good NFL city,” said
Patriots head coach Ron Rust, who

was defensive co-ordinator for the
defunct Montreal Alouettes from
1973 top 1975.

The game was called the American
Bowl, one of four pre-season games
to be held outside the United States as
part of the NFL's bid to expand
television and souvenir markets. The
other’ games were in Tokyo, Berlin
and London.

Montreal is to have a team in the
proposed World League of American
Football next year, a minor league
run by the NFL. It lost the Canadian
Football League Alouettes in 1987.

The fans were noisy and en-
thusiastic — mostly for the Steelers,
who built a 16-0 halftime lead.

Soviets
agree
to play

TORONTO (CP) — Al Eagleson
has dealt with Soviet hockey officials
for more than 20 years, but the latest
round of negotiations has left him
dumbfounded. :

“This is an incredible turn of even-
ts,"" he said Thursday after learning
the Soviets had backed down on a
threat to pull out of a series of
exhibitions with NHL clubs next
season.

“We called their bluff and I guess it
worked.””

Last Sunday, Soviet officials said
they would refuse to honor an
agreement that would see three of
their club teams tour the 21 NHL
cities. It was a protest over the Detroit
Red Wings signing of 20-year-old star
Sergei Fedorov, who left the Soviet
national team after an exhibition
game against the United States in
Oregon last month.

Eagleson, Canada’s chief inter-
national hockey negotiator and the
executive director of the NHL Players
Association, and NHL president John
Ziegler held a news conference Wed-
nesday to say the threat had to be
withdrawn or the 21 games, plus eight
in the Soviet Union involving club
teams and the NHL’s Montreal
Canadiens and Minnesota North
Stars, would be considered cancelled.

Soviet officials huddled in Moscow
on Thursday and the Tass news agen-
cy reported that the Soviet hockey

The decision was made because the

«eyat sa
trial by j

VANCOUVER (CP) — The fate of
accused airline bomber Inderjit Singh
Reyat will be decided by a judge in-
stead of a jury when his trial begins
next month.

Reyat, who faces several charges in
connection with a 1985 Tokyo airport
bomb blast, requested the change
Thursday in B.C. Supreme Court.

Bout Crown and defence agreed to
the request, granted by Justice Howard
Callaghan, and sheriffs began contac-
ting dozens of people who have
already been summoned as potential
jurors.

Because Reyat was charged under a
direct indictment, the trial would have
proceeded by jury had the Crown not
agreed to the change, said Reyat's

ys not to
ury

lawyer, Mark Hilford.
Reyat, 37, faces two counts of
and five exp

charges.

The crimes relate to the Narita Air-
port explosion of June 23, 1985 which
killed two baggage handlers.

Investigators say the bomb was
concealed in a Sanyo tuner carried in
a suitcase on a CP Air flight from
Vancouver to Tokyo. The. package
exploded as baggage was being tran-
sferred in Tokyo to an Air India
flight.

Reyat, a former Duncan, B.C. auto
mechanic, was extradited from
England following lengthy
proceedings in British courts.

housing
protected

‘VANCOUVER (CP) — Adiilis-
only apartment buildings will be
illegal next month when provincial
tenancy law amendments take effect,
Norm Jacobsen, the B.C. labor and
consumer services minister, announ-
ced.

The amendments, which take effect
Sept. 1, prohibit landlords from
discriminating against tenants with
children unless the rental building is
designed for senior citizens or
disabled people.

The amendments also require lan-
dlords to give new parenjs 24 months
notice if the are to be @icted because
the birth of a child makes the number
of occupants greater than specified in
their tenancy agreement.

Tenants Rights _— Coalition
spokesman Laura Stannard said the
amendments will do little to solve
Vancouver rental housing problems,
such as rent control, demolition con-
trol of rental housing protection.

“Even was good legislation, it
still won't make affordable housing
available to families,’ Stannard said.

She said the coalition wrote twice to
Jacobsen asking for a meeting to
discuss the amendments before they
became law, but the minister didn’t
respond.

Jacobsen said cases of alleged
discrimination against families with
children will be handled by the human
rights council.
