MONTREAL (CP) — Shayne Corson has been doing
what the Montreal Canadiens expected for the last two
National Hockey League seasons.

Now he wants to start living up to his own expectations.

“You're going to see more offence from me for the rest
of the season and in the playoffs,” said Corson, who returns
to action tonight against the St. Louis Blues after battling
the flu since last weekend.

“I played well offensively in junior hockey and I can do
it in this league.”

Corson, 21, has seven goals and 19 assists in 46 games so
far this season, and feels his numbers should be higher.

“What it comes down to is that when I get the
opportunities, I've got to bury the puck.”

When Corson was drafted eighth overall in 1984,
Montreal general manager Serge Savard described him as a
“Bob Gainey who can score goals.”

Corson didn’t get a chance to immediately prove it
because Montreal returned him to the junior ranks for the
next two years. Last season he was called up to stay and
showed signs of strong defensive abilities but only scored 12
goals and 11 assists in 55 games.

“Last year, all I wanted to do was make the club,”

line: Tdon't mind playing defensively . . .

a lot more offensively.”

but I know I can do

There have been suggestions Corson should capitalize
more often around the net, particularly since he plays on a
line with high-scoring wingers Mats Naslund and Stephane

Richer.

However, Corson understands with those snipers as his
flankers, his role takes a different dimension.

“They (the Canadiens) asked me to play defensively to
get the puck to the other guys,” Corson said. “I think I'm

doing it.”

Corson knows all about the concept of team success and
how it can affect the individual player's career.

“If the team does well, I'll do well,” said Corson, who is
the final year of a four-year, plus one-year-option contract he

signed after he was drafted.

“I realize that a bunch of goalg.and assists don't hurt

when you're talking contract,”

said Corson. “But I'll simply

remind them they asked me to perform in a defensive role.
“I'd be happier with more offence, but I think I've done

what I was asked to do.”

Federation president Ron

Should he make that op-

If he misses the deadline,
the federation would impose
a directive that the champion

By opting for Morrison, a
light-heavyweight who has
also fought in the higher
weight class, de Wit had to
receive special sanctioning
from the federation’s execu

TORONTO (CP) ~ George Bell, named’ the
American League's most valuable player last season, is
seeking a salary of just over $2.1 million US from the
Toronto Blue Jays for the 1988 baseball season.

Those major-league players who have chosen arbi-
tration presented their salary demands Tuesday, with
the clubs releasing their counter-offers. Hearings are
scheduled Feb. 1-20.

The arbitrator is empowered only to accept one
figure or the other, with no compromise.

Bell presented a figure of $2,105,000 — a raise of
$930,000 over his 1987 salary. The Blue Jays countered
with $1,725,000.

Bell earned $1.175 million in 1987, when he batted
-308, clubbed 47 homers and drove in 134 runs.

Three other Toronto Blue Jays also presented
their salary demands.

Tony Fernandez, the Gold Glove award-winning
shortstop who hit .322 before suffering a broken elbow in
September, has requested a salary of $940,000. The Blue
Jays offered $737,000.

Tom Henke, the relief pitcher who compiled 34 saves
and a 2.49 earned-run average last season, requested a
salary of $1.025 million. The Jays offered $725,000.

Pinch-hitter Juan Beniquez asked for $450,000 —
Toronto countered with $344,000. Beniquez has the
option of turning down an arbitration hearing and de-
claring himself a free agent.

The Blue Jays last went to arbitration in 1983, when
second baseman Damaso Garcia was awarded $400,000
against the Jays’ offer of $300,000. In the same year,
pitcher Dave Stieb lost his request for $225,000 and got
$155,000. (Stieb signed a multi-year contract the
following season and was paid $1.05 million last year.)

Between 1984 and 1987, the Jays settled 12 cases by
signing players to a contract before the hearings, often in
the’ 11th hour.

Bell and right fielder Jesse Barfield both filed for
arbitration in 1986 and 1987 before settling on contracts.
Last year, Bell requested $1.325 million and Toronto
offered $1 million.

Barfield, who led the major leagues in homers with
40 in 1986, asked for $1.35 million against the Jays’ offer
of $1.125 million.

Blue Jays’ Bell
seeks big raise

Among others asking for large increases are:

— Andre Dawson, the National League MVP, asked
for $2 million, four times his 1987 base salary. Chicago,
which has offered Dawson a two-year contract for about
$3 million but has refused his request for a three- or
four-year contract, submitted a figure of $1.85 million.

If either Bell or Dawson win their cases, they would
break the record for highest salary awarded by an arbi-
trator, topping the $1.975 million given to Don Mattingly
of the New York Yankees last winter.

— Kirby Puckett, who batted .332 last season with 28
homers and 99 runs batted in, asked for $1.35 million. He
made $365,000 in salary in 1987 and earned another
$60,000 in bonuses. Minnesota submitted a figure of

$930,000.

_ New York pitcher Dwight Gooden, who made $1.5
million last year, put in a request of $1.65 million. The
Mets submitted a salary of $1.4 million, $50,000 more
than they offered Gooden in December.

— Another Met who filed for arbitration, third
baseman Howard Johnson, asked for a salary of $775,000,
a 161-per-cent increase from his 1987 salary of $297,500.

The Mets offered $625,000.

— Pitcher Ted Higuera of the Milwaukee Brewers
asked for $1.25 million, an $890,000 raise. Milwaukee

offered $900,000.

— Infielder Juan Samuel of the Phillies asked for
$1.175 million, a $515,000 increase from his 1987 salary.
Samuel, who batted .272 with 28 homers and 100 RBIs, is
being offered $900,000 by the Phillies.

— Orel Hershiser of the Los Angeles Dodgers, whose
salary was cut $200,000 last year to $800,000 when he lost
in arbitration, submitted a request of $1.25 million. The
Dodgers submitted $950,000.

—‘Outfielder Eric Davis of the Cincinnati Reds, who
made $300,000 last year in salary and $30,000 in bonuses,
filed for $1.05 million, $300,000 more than the Reds offer.

— Right-hander Bret Saberhagen of the Kansas City
Royals, whose salary was cut from $925,000 in 1986 to
$740,000 last year after a 7-12 season,

request of $1.2 million.

— Catcher Lance Parrish, who signed an $800,000
contract as a free agent with the Phillies last year, asked
for $1.4 million after batting 245 with 17 homers and 67
RBIs. Philadelphia offered $1 million.

Holmes
facing
beating

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
(AP) — Larry Holmes'’s will
to win could result in a bad
beating by Mike Tyson, says
Eddie Futch, who trained the
former heavyweight boxing
champion for 12 title fights.

“Tyson has the style and
strength that could make it
hard for Larry to avoid
getting badly beaten and
possibly hurt,” Futch said in
a telephone interview Tues-
day from his home in Las
Vega:

“ don’ 't feel good about the
fight.”

Tyson, the 21-year-old un-
disputed heavyweight
champion, is an 8-1 favorite
to beat Holmes, 38, their
scheduled 12-round fight Fri-
day night at the Atlantic City
Convention Centre.

Tel continues tolls

By CasNews Staff

B.C. Tel has rejected a Castlegar council request for
toll-free calls between Trail and Castlegar.

In a letter to council, B.C. Tel spokesman Ed Clark
says extended service is only available for communities
that demonstrate a dependence on another nearby centre
for basic needs, such as education, life support, govern:
ment, and shopping services.

“These routes are one-way only and are point-to-
point; that is, they do not include other exchanges which
may be located between the two counmmnttlons Clark
said.

He added that all seeking

Clark also refused to disclose B.C. Tel’s revenue on
long distance calls in the West Kootenay.

“Except for information published in B.C. Tel's
annual report, any figures for long distance revenue
derived from specific exchanges such as Castlegar are not
available for public knowledge,” he said, adding that the
information could cause “irreparable damage because of
our competition.” ,

Mayor Audrey Moore said Trail council and” the
Kootenay Boundary Regional District received similar
letters from B.C. Tel.

Moore called Clark's comments “stonewalling,” and

service must hold a plebiscite on the issue.

“Based on our current criteria for one-way (extended
service), Castlegar is self-supporting and does not depend
on any other centre for its basic needs,” Clark said.

He noted that B.C. Tel does not offer two-way
extended service because “it is in direct contravention of
our current policy.”

Committee deal with the issue.

As well, Ald. Len Embree advised council to ask
Clark to appear at a future council meeting to explain
B.C. Tel's position,

Moore pointed out that most of the City of
Castlegar’s long distance calls are to Trail and Nelson.

OLYMPIC

Flame carried by dogsled

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. (CP) — The Olympic torch got a
patriotic welcome today as it started its tour through British
Columbia — the second-to-last province on its 18,000-kilo-
metre journey. to the Winter Olympics in Calgary.

“I like anything that whips up Canadian patriotism,”
said school superintendent Ernie Reimer as he watched an
enthusiastic crowd cheer the flame in this northern
community of 14,000.

The early-morning torch procession from the airport
into town was a colorful trail of lights and cheering resid

participation. She checked into Inuvik General Hospital on
Sunday with stomach pains but was released in time for the
relay.

“I wasn't coming all this way only to get sick,”
Nikkel.

SKI ALONG

Clusters of parka-clad northerners gathered along the

highway Tuesday afternoon, waving tiny Olympic flags.

Some strapped on cross-country skis and kept pace with the

who watched from their houses and lined the streets.

As each new runner was handed the torch, spontaneous
applause erupted, urging on the proud red-suited partici
pants.

On Tuesday, the Olympic torch lit the Land of the
Midnight Sun for 13 hours as 55 torchbearers carried the
flame by dogsled, on skis or on foot on the northernmost part
of its journey.

The torchbearers endured a bone-chilling -25 tempera-
ture in Yellowknife and -33 in Inuvik. But when the flame
arrived in Whitehorse on Tuesday evening, it was a pleasant

“I just couldn't let the flame go out,” said a beaming
Janice Nikke. 23, a respiratory therapist from Morden,
Man., after her seven-kilometre ride by dogsled near Inuvik,
a community of 3,500 north of the Arctic Circle.

“I think I got the best part of the relay.”

For half an hour she held the flame aloft, snuggled
under a caribou skin in a specially designed sled drawn by
seven dogs described as malamute cross huskies.

The dogs were decked out in harnesses with traditional
multicolored braids, pompoms and bells which could
occasionally be heard jingling above the sounds of the torch
convoy.

Nikkel refused to let a possible ulcer prevent her

t luding one who was on skis himself.

They moved along a road lined by tall trees heavy with
hoar-frost. The mercury dropped to -33 Tuesday, but that
was still warmer than the -47 recorded in Inuvik on Monday.

More than 700 people crammed into the Alexander
MacKenzie school for the torch ceremony. Parents lifted
children aloft to get a better glimpse of the flame and people
passed lit candles to each other.

The ceremony was boycotted by the Northwest
Territories government because only seven of the 35 Terri-
tories runners were native people. The protest didn’t sit
with Gordon Duke, 56, a teacher here since 1969.

“It's ill-timed, although there may be some legitimacy to
it, but it’s churlish,” said Duke. “It's spoiled the efforts of a
lot of very fine people.

“I don't like the idea that we're Northerners first and
Canadians second, and maybe this will change all that.”

In Whitehorse, about 1,200 people attended a ceremony
in front of the Yukon capital's historic railway station.

Paul Sippel, 17, was the last of 15 Whitehorse runners
and the final torchbearer in the North.

“I felt like I was representing the world,”
excited spectators crowded around him.

After the Whitehorse runs, the torch was flown to Fort
St. John, B.C., where the relay resumes today. The flame’s
next stop is Prince George, B.C.
