Orioles get back at

TORONTO (CP) — On Monday night, Baltimore manager~ Frank Robinson held a closed-door meeting with his players following a mis take-filled loss to the-Toronto Blue Jays.

“Maybe we were just much more alert tonight, but a well-pitched game doesn't hurt, either,” Robinson said Tuesday night after a come- from-behind 4-2 American League baseball triumph over the Blue Jays. “We aren't going to perform like that every day.

“But, yesterday (Monday), we “Gidn’t even play the fundamentals.”

Oswaldo Peraza collected his first major-league victory with a big assist to Cal Ripken, who drove in both Baltimore runs Monday and another three runs Tuesday.

“I played with all those guys,” said Peraza, 25, of the Blue Jays after he came to the Orioles last year when Toronto traded for Mike Flanagan. “I just felt good with a wi

, 1-2, scattered eight hits over 7 1-3 innings, striking out seven and walking three. He left in favor of Tom Niedenfuer after Ernie Whitt had pulled two deep fouls. Nieden. fuer struck out Whitt and coasted to his seventh save.

Whitt “was sitting on his out pitch, the forkball,” explained Robinson, who added that Peraza “threw a real battling game.

Jays

“Both pitchers did. I don't know who was going to outlast who.”

For seven innings, it appeared Flanagan, now 6-5, was going to be successful in reaching his 150th car- eer victory.

The veteran left-hander was touched for just three hits through seven innings before running into trouble in the eighth.

A single by Billy Ripken with two out in the eighth put runners at first and second and brought on reliever Jose Nunez. Cal. Ripken then took Nunez’s second offering to the fence in right centre as right fielder Jesse Barfield just missed making the catch on a leaping effort.

“He (Flanagan) is very frustrating with his change of speed — you feel you get some good cuts then you come back to the dugout with nothing to show for it,” said Cal Ripken, whose RBI double in the fifth tied the game 1-1.

The triple gave Baltimore a 3-2 lead and Ken Gerhart added his fourth homer of the season in the ninth off David Wells.

“Ripken's always been a tough out for us,” said Toronto manager Jimy Williams.

Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the second on Fred McGriffs 15th homer of the season, a monstrous rainbow shot over centre field — es. timated at 437 feet.

Childrens’ Slo pitch ends season

The Slocan Valley Children's Slow Pitch League finished off the 1988 season with a tournament at South Slocan earlier this month.

It was a full day of playing ball for the 175 young athletes. The league and tournament are sponsored by Regional Recreation Commission No. 8, with Zena Ursuliak and Nonie Burk as organizers.

Slocan players were the winners in the Grade 5 and 6 category, coached by Kathy Pryor. They won all three games during the tournament.

Brent Kennedy, coached by Robert Gordon, picked up the Grade 3 and 4 championship.

In the kindergarten-Grade 2 cate- gory, Brent Kennedy II came out on top. Walter Voykin was the proud coach of that team with Bill Bontje as helper.

The Essery Family trophy for the ‘most sportsmanlike team was pre sented to Winlow Grade 5 and 6 ably coached by Joanne Ellis.

The concession stand was run by the Appledale Daycare Society.

The volunteer coaches and parents who dedicated their time to the young people of the Slocan Valley were: from Slocan, Linda Hicks, Margaret Hicks, Leslie Campos, Koteah Vacen and Kathy Pryor; from Winlaw, Don Warthe, Lauri Kaufman, Rodney Lindstrom and Joanne Ellis; and from Brent Ken- nedy area, Dom Droucker, Walter Voykin, Bill Bontje, Robert Gordon, Harry Sapriken, Lorraine Podov. elnikoff and Allen Ball.

A special thanks went to the umpires who helped make this day a great success: Richard Mayo, Ed Hicks, Glen Harper, Mike Malakow and Robert Gordon.

Also thanks went to the Slocan Valley Minor Fastpitch League, ages 13 and 14, coached by Tim Soukeroff and Mike Hennelly for their exhi- bition game.

NOTES AND QUOTES

Lions training camp

VANCOUVER (CP) — Notes and quotes from the B.C. Lions training camp Tuesday:

General manager Joe Galat started contract negotiations with Michael Barnett, agent for new quarterback Matt Dunigan. Barnett and Galat met before Dunigan left for the Canadian Football League all-star game in Edmonton.

Dunigan is in the option year of his CFL contract — he was acquired last week from the Edmonton Eskimos — and reportedly earned $120,000 last season.

Assistant coaches Adam Rita and Larry Smeltzer, who work with the offence, got into the spirit of training camp with new haircuts. Smeltzer shaved almost all his hair off, except for a string at the back of his neck, while Rita got his hair cut short, complete with racing stripes.

Head coach Larry Donovan insisted he would not follow suit, but noted he liked the enthusiasm of the coaches in their effort to relate to the players. Rita is the backfield coach and Smeltzer handles the offensive line.

Running back Anthony Parker was a late addition to the CFL all-star game, set for Thursday, apparently a replacement for Gary Allen of the Calgary Stampeders.

The Lions were missing 11 of 24 starters during the morning workout because of injuries and six players at the all-star game. Linebacker Bernie Glier, troubled with injuries in the past, sprained an ankle, while wide receiver Byron Williams had a pulled hamstring muscle.

Leaving camp on their own were defensive lineman Scott Redl and slotback Dan Reading, both Canadians. Red! was acquired from the Saskatche- wan Roughriders in the Rick Klassen trade. After four days in camp, he decided to accept a business offer in Regina.

Reading is a junior from the Richmond Raiders who may rejoin the team following the exhibition season.

Outside linebacker Mark Smith, a 210-pound junior from Richmond, has made an impression on the coaching staff with his pass covereage.

Donovan said the Lions were in the market for another import wide receiver and Galat may try to make a trade.

New wide receivers in camp since training began include Eric Streeter from North Carolina and Mike Scott from the University of Pacific. Streeter was a draft choice of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League in 1987.

Offensive guard Dan Hurley, a starter most of the 1987 season, is being pressed for his job after a slow start, Donovan said. Hurley and John Aimonetti are the only import offensive linemen in camp.

The first official cuts of the camp come Friday when six regulars return from the all-star game. Training camp rosters are limited to 66, plus juniors.

Donovan was pleased with the progress of rookie quarterback Rickey Foggie from Minnesota, slated to be the backup to Dunigan, and also noted the improvement of rookie pivot Willie Gillus from Norfolk State.

The head coach will handle the special teams assignments this year after a reduction in the coaching staff. Gone from last year are assistants Rocky Long and Greg Newhouse, replaced by Smeltzer and Bob Vespaziani.

When the laconic Donovan was promoted to head coach late last season after the firing of Don Matthews, another assistant was not added.

Donovan said camp standouts include two rookies, import defensive back Anthony Drawhorn of Nevada-Las Vegas and Canadian defensive tackle Mary Turner of Miami of Ohio, plus import defensive back Darryl Hemphill, who intercepted two passes in his only start last year.

Drawhorn is competing against veteran corner- backs Keith Gooch and Andre Francis. Turner is trying to replace Klassen, while Hemphill is making a bid to take over from the retired Mel Byrd.

» Spinks collects big

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. (AP) — Michael Spinks decided it was time to get out of the light heavyweight division when his friends began feel- ing sorry for him because he wasn't making enough money or getting enough notice.

Now they feel sorry for him be- cause he has to fight Mike Tyson.

“They'll pray for me and my health now,” said Spinks, who fights Tyson on Monday for the heavyweight championship.

Not that the undefeated challenger is that worried himself.

“He has what he has,” Spinks says of Tyson. “He's just as good as any- one else and he makes the same mis- takes as anyone else.

“He's been brought up right in his career and these are the results.”

Spinks, who dominated the light heavyweight ranks for four years, owned the undisputed 175-pound title before giving it up to fight Larry Holmes for the heavyweight crown in September 1985.

He beat Holmes — not once but twice — to establish himself as a presence in a division that histori- cally has produced lucrative paydays.

And now, at age 31, Spinks stands to cash in on one of the biggest paydays ever — $13.5 million to fight one of the most devastating punchers in recent boxing history.

Since becoming the first light heavyweight champion to win the heavyweight title, Spinks has won three other heavyweight fights — two by knock out — and set himself up for the fight against Tyson, which could be boxing’s richest ever.

In Tyson, he faces a fighter 10 years younger whose ferocious style has earned him 30 knockouts in 34 fights, many coming in the early rounds,

“I think a lot of people who love me and pray for my well-being have some compassion for me in this fight,”"Spinks says.

Spinks, though, is no slouch him- self.

In 81 fights since beginning his professional career in 1977, he has not lost, and in the process has scored 21 knockouts.

Basketball record broken

VANCOUVER (CP) — Andre Patterson set a World Basketball League record for most points in a single game Tuesday night when he scored 48 to lead the Vancouver Nighthawks to a 135-127 decision over the Fresno Flames.

Patterson eclipsed the old mark of 43 points set by the Flames’ Kenny Nett who led Fresno Tuesday with 26 points before 1,326 fans.

The other leading scorers for Van- couver were Jose Slaughter with 20 and Willis Smith with 16.

Clinton Wheeler added 18 points for Fresno while Jack Moore had 14.

The Dutch will play the winner of

today’s game between Italy and the Soviet Union for the championship.

Following an action-packed but 0-0 first half, West German captain Lothar Mattaeus put his team ahead from the penalty spot in the 54th minute.

Duteh defender Frank Rijkaard tripped Juergen Klinsmann just inside the area and although Hans Van Breukelen got his fingertips to the shot, he could not stop it.

The Dutch tied the score in the 74th minute when Juergen Kohler was called for bringing down Van Basten and Ronald Koeman sent West German goalkeeper Eike Im- mel the wrong way from the spot kick.

The semifinal seemed to be head ing for overtime when Van Basten, who scored three times against Eng. land, won the match.

Jan Wouters threaded a pass through the German defence and Van Basten, who had missed a much easier chance near the end of the first half, rifled a low shot past Immel.

The result was the first Dutch vic- tory over the West Germans since 1966.
