Esks 7-3 but inconsistent

By JOHN KOROBANIK (Canadian Press

RESIDENT NOW AUTHOR

Katherine Armstrong, a Robson resident and a recent graduate of the Electronic Publishing Program at Selkirk College has published two books.

“I'd take 3-2 as long as we win.”

That party line sounds good but it's doubtful any professional athlete believes it. Certainly Edmonton fans

level is higher for some teams,” admitted quarterback Matt Dunigan.

The Edmonton Eskimos are 7-3, in second place in the Canadian Football League's tough West Division and 50 against Western teams. So one supposes they could feel fairly comfortable midway through the season.

They have responded superbly to all the major challenges. But are they comfortable? And if they are, shofiid they be?

The question still hangs because of Edmonton's lack of consistency from week to week.

Edmonton has played its best games against Western rivals. But put them against supposedly weaker teams from the East, like the Montreal Alouettes, and all kinds of problems arise.

Are the Eskimos concerned about their i i ies? Well, read a few of their comments after Sunday's somewhat baffling 37-22 win over Montreal.

“We seem to have different intensity levels for different teams and it's causing some real concern,” said defensive

Weaver to quit

BALTIMORE (AP) — Earl neh in will not manage the Baltimore Orioles in 1987, team owner Edward Bennett Williams confirmed Tuesday.

Weaver, 56, said late Monday he had informed officials of the American League baseball — three weeks ago of his intention not to return next year.

“We accepted -his decision then, and we accept it now,” Williams said. “We told him we were not gaing to try and persuade him to come back.”

Indeed, the Edmonton defence of 1986 may rival that of the team’s glory years in the late 1970s and early ‘80s when they won five consecutive Grey Cups. And it is the defence that is keeping the team in a challenging position for first place this year. What's surprising is the inconsistency of an offence that the unwavering optimism of Dunigan, the iable talent and of Kelly and Rick House, the speed of Stephan Jones, the power running of Chris Skinner and the experience of the line. The Eskimos admit there's been a lack of concentration and emotion.

Canada edges Germans

ISERLOHN, West Germany (CP) — Wally Schreiber scored his second goal of the game with 4:17 remaining to lift Canada to a 3-2 win over Iserlohn of the West German League in an exhibition hockey

Certainly some of their expecting precision-like victories every game.

The five-in-a-row Eskimos had to contend with those same expectations. But it's hardly fair to expect the same from this group of players, isn't it?

Mitchell vetoes replays

VANCOUVER (CP) — Television replays of contro- versial calls by game officials won't be introduced to the Canadian Football League this season, commissioner Doug Mitchell said Tuesday

Mitchell said he doesn't want to slow down CFL games while officials huddle on the sidelines and an off-field official watches a re- play in the press box, as happened last weekend in the National Football League.

“Our games are long enough as it is,” Mitchell said. “We're trying to shorten our games, not make them longer.”

Replays for officials began in the NFL last weekend with the beginning of the 1986 schedule. Each team is allowed to request one replay

Mitchell said the average length of a CFL game this season is two hours and 48 minutes and he would like to have games end at 2" hours.

The NFL game Monday night between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cow- boys took about three hours and 35 minutes.

Mitchell said one change he'd like to make next year in the CFL is to reduce the slower three-minute seg- ments at the end of each half to two minutes. The time clock stops frequently in the last three minutes of the second and fourth quarters.

Mitchell was in Vancouver to help announce plans for the 1986 Grey Cup festi which,precedes the 74th CFL championship game Nov. 30

Jays, Reds dig hole

By The Associated Press

The rest of the National League East long ago conceded the New Yorks Mets the division title. Their counterparts in the West may soon be doing the same for the Houston Astros.

“Tm worried about my team collap- sing,” Cincinnati manger Pete Rose said Tuesday after a 9-2 loss at Houston dropped the Reds 10 games behind the division-leading Astros. “We're still in second but I can’t worry about catching Houston.

“I'm worried about catching (last. place) San Diego the way we're playing.”

Houston's victory completed a two game sweep of Cincinnati and left the Reds in their biggest hole of the season.

The Mets, meanwhile, had their magic number for clinching the East reduced to four when the second place Philadelphia Phillies lost to the Chicago Cubs 86 in 10 innings. The Mets were beaten 9-7 by the Montreal Expos but still maintained a moun tainous 21-game lead.

In other National League action, the St. Louis Cardinals beat Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1, the San Francisco Giants blanked San Diego Padres 7-0; and the Los Angeles Dodgers outscored Aap ta Braves 9-5.

In the American League, neither California nor Boston wants anything to do with a pennant race.

So, both teams took advantage of losses by their pursuers Tuesday night to open up seemingly insurmountable

leads in their respective divisions.

With Kirk McCaskill pitching an 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians, the Angels took an 8'4-game lead over the ‘Texas Rangers, who lost 3-1 to Seattle. The Red Sox, meanwhile, got two homers by Dwight Evans to beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-5 and move eight games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays, who lost 3-1 to the New York Yankees.

In the rest of the American League, the Kansas City Royals clobbered Minnesota Twins 11-3, the Milwaukee Brewers beat Detroit Tigers 3-1; and the Chicago White Sox defeated Oakland A’s 4-1.

EXPOS 9 METS 7 Andre Dawson's two-run homer with none out in the top of the ninth inning lifted Montreal over New York. Tim Raines opened the inning with a single off relief pitcher Jesse 66, and Dawson followed with his homer off the first pitch. Randy Hunt added an RBI single to give the Expos a two-run lead. CUBS 8 PHILLIES 6 Leon Durham's two-rua homer in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted Chicago over Philadelphia. Lee Smith, 9-9, was the winner and Steven Bedrosian, 8-5, the loser. CARDINALS 3 PIRATES 1

McCaskill, 16-7, pitched his 10th

complete game of the season, striking out seven and walking two,

“You hear everybody talk about how important the stretch drive is,” Mc- Caskill said. “All you hear is, ‘Stretch drive, stretch drive.”

“But I try to keep away from that. I try to pitch the same in September as I do in April.”

Mike Scott pitched a five-hitter over eight innings and Glenn Davis's double keyed a four-run sixth inning as Houston beat Cincinnati. Scott, 16-9, who leads the major leagues in strike- outs, fanned seven to increase his total to 260.

The Astros broke a scoreless tie in the sixth when Davis drove in two runs with a double. Houston added two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth.

Eric Davis's 23rd homer of the season in the eighth inning accounted for both of the Reds’ runs.

Andy Van Slyke had three hits and one RBI and Clint Hurdle hit a solo homer to lead St. Louis over host Pittsburgh.

GIANTS 7 PADRES 0

Mike LaCoss pitched a seven-hitter, ending a personal eight-game losing streak, and San Francisco got home runs from Candy Maldonado and Bob Brenly to beat visiting San Diego.

LaCoss, 10-11, had four strikeouts and walked none.

DODGERS 9 BRAVES 5

Bill Madlock hit a two-run homer and Alex ‘Trevino and Enos Cabell each constsibuted two-run singles to lead Los Angeles over Atlanta.

Rick Honeycutt, 11-9, got the victory despite allowing five runs, nine hits and four walks over five innings. Alejandro Pena pitched one-hit ball through the final four innings for his first save since April 22, 1983.

Pocklington said he has sold 25 of the big tickets in Edmonton, but the West's depressed economic situa tion had meant poor sales over all. They've done better in Newfoundland, Quebec and Ontario, where a total of about 300 have been snapped up.

There will be a black-tie cocktail party for 700 guest at 24 Sussex Dr. with the Mulroneys as hosts, a VIP

lounge at the rink with what the organizers call arena food, and a postgame dinner at the National Arts Centre with Dinah Shore and Montreal singer Celine Dion to entertain guests.

The charity in question is cystic fibrosis, Mila Mul roney's favorite.

Pocklington said it all began when he was talking to Mila Mulroney at a dinner at 24 Sussex Dr last December.

Canuck has surgery

VANCOUVER (CP) — Top draft choice Dan Woodley of the Vancouver Canucks is resting at his Victoria home following surgery last week to repair a lower abdominal muscle tear which will prevent the forward from attending his first National Hockey League training camp.

Woodley, 18, will likely be sidelined for two or three months after aggravating the injury during the national junior team tryouts in late July at Calgary.

He was first injured last spring while playing for the Portland Winter Hawks of the major junior Western Hockey League.

“I really don't expect this to affect my develop- ment at all,” Woodley said. “It's just an unfortunate

thing.

“But when I come back, I figure I'll be stronger

than ever.”

Woodley was the seventh player taken in the first

round of the NHL entry draft last June.

A Field Guide to Marvelous Muffins is the second edition of Armstrong’s muffin cookbook. Using “desk-top publishing” technology, the book was typeset on the Macintosh computer.

Armstrong printed it herself on the offset press at Selkirk College. The new cover was designed by Leni Normington, a graduate of the Graphic Design Program.

Sales have been going well, says Armstrong. She took books with her to Convergence ‘86, a North American weaving conference in Toronto in July, where

“Orders have been coming in for all over North America. I even have one from the United Kingdom,” Armstrong says.

She hopes to have her books picked up by a national distributor.

Armstrong has set up her own publishing company, Bear Grass Press, and would also like to publish more craft books and local poetry, first novels and history, as well as designing and publishing annual reports, news- letters and brochures.

Armstrong will host a reception for her books at the Homestead Soup and Sandwich Shoppe on Friday.
