Canadian soccer players charged

DAVID NORMAN .-. B.C. native

OTTAWA (CP) — Four former national soccer players have had their worlds turned upside , facing charges by the RCMP of accepting bribes during an exhibition tournament in Singapore last year.

Charged are David Norman, 25, of Coquitlam, B.C., Igor Vrablic, 22, of Waterloo, Ont., Hector Marinaro, 23, of Missi- ssauga, Ont., and Chris Chueden, 26, of Surrey, B.C., Kevin Pipe, director general of the Canadian Soccer

accusations last Dec. 6 and informed the RCMP two days later. RUFUSES COMMENT “I can't make any comments because it’s before the court . . . appropriate action will be taken if necessary,” Sports Minister Otto Jelinek said. Jelinek said in September he had not ruled out lifetime

announced Tuesday.

Norman, Marinaro and Vrablic also are charged with bringing into Canada material illegally obtained outside the country — money alleged to have been part of a bribe — and with having it in their possession.

The Toronto Star reported in September that about $100,000 was involved in the alleged bribes.

The first charge carries a maximum jail sentence of five years, while the second charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

All are scheduled to appear Dec. 16 in provincial court in Ottawa.

None has played with the national team since the Merlion Cup event in Singapore. Canada finished third after winning the first four games and losing one. Two games were tied.

Pipe said the association became aware of the bribery

bans from soccer if the players being investi- gated by the RCMP were charged. He would not comment Tuesday on whether he planned to go ahead with a ban now that charges have been laid.

A iation president Fred brook told the Toronto Star he will wait until the four men appear in court before making any plans.

“Of course, we will be very disappointed if the allegations are true and, if they are true, it will create a very serious situation for us in the CSA,” Stambrook said. “But we are not going to work on the assumption that these players are guilty; that’s for the courts to decide.”

National team coach Bob Bearpark said he was aware players were being approached by local gamblers and warned them to resist the temptation.

“First, I told them they'd be finished.as players; and, secondly, it would ruin their personal lives,“ Bearpark said from the association office in Hamilton.

“The bottom line is you can’t always be responsible for the players’ morals; you can’t monitor them 24 hours a day.” KNEW RISKS

Goalkeeper Paul Dolan of Port Moody, B.C., one of seven World Cup players who went to Singapore, said he was “aware that a few players were approached in Singapore” but had no idea any Canadian players might have taken any money. He spoke in @ telephone interview from Nottingham, England, where he now plays professionally for Notts County.

Jamie Lowery of Port Alberni, B.C., now with the Vancouver 86ers of the professional Canadian Soccer League, said the “subject of bribes was raised at a team meeting during our third or fourth day in Singapore.

“Mike Sweeney (Canadian midfielder) told us the risks of accepting bribes: that if you got caught, you're finished as a player. He told us it wasn't worth the gamble. And, as far as I was concerned, that was that.”

Norman played last season with the Winnipeg Fury, Marinaro was team captain of the Toronto Blizzard. Chueden plays for the Los Angeles Lasers of the Major Indoor Soccer

e and he played for Olympiakos of the Greek First Division in the 1986-87 season.

"Td rather not comment on anything right now,”

Vrablic said Tuesday. “I'm sure you can understand that.”

“When I sat back and thought of 38, I said that's a

McGwire said. “But when you look at 49, that’s a lot more.”

The BBWAA's 28 voters, two from each city in the league, made McGwire the second unanimous choice in the 40-year history of the award. Carlton Fisk of the Boston Red Sox swept the honor in 1972.

20 second-place votes and four thirds, was Kevin Seit- zer of the Kansas City Royals, who had 207 hits and drove in 83 runs while bat- ting .323. Matt Nokes of the Detroit Tigers was third in the voting, Mike Greenwell of Boston fourth. Second baseman Nelson Liriano of the Toronto Blue Jays re- ceived one third-place vote.

The selection of McGwire gave Oakland its second con- secutive AL rookie of the year. Outfielder Jose Can- seco won the award in 1986, edging California Angels first baseman Wally Jovner in a close vote.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Di- recting the fortunes of a pro- fessional,football team rests comfortably on the broad- ening shoulders of Larry Donovan of the British Co lumbia Lions.

The Lions have won three straight since Donovan re- placed the fired Don Mat- thews on Oct. 14 and clinched first place in the competitive Western Division of the Can- adian Football League.

“I like it,” Donovan said Tuesday with a huge grin. “Especially I like it when I see those big smiles on the

players’ faces.”

It’s been a whirlwind three weeks for Donovan, whose previously head coaching ex- perience was with the Uni- versity of Montana Grizzlies, 1980-85.

B.C. ended a three-game skid with a 25-11 victory over the 1986 Grey Cup champion Hamilton Tiger-Cats, dis- posed of the Calgary chal- lenge for second place with a 82-12 win over the Stam- peders, then beat the Ed- monton Eskimos 33-32 last Sunday to claim first place with an 11-6 record.

Canadian ski team insurance triples

TORONTO (CP) — The ow Ski Association has found accident insurance for io racers, but at a cost triple the price of earlier policies, ten eral official said

oon of the Canadian World Cup team had been left without coverage when the Austrian company insur- ing many of them refused to renew this year because of the sport's high risk.

The association pays about $110,000 each year on in- surance, primarily liability coverage to protect itself and racers from lawsuits. It also provides limited accident in- surance up to $20,000 per athlete, but coverage beyond that amount must be ac- quired by indivi skiers.

Percy of Banff, Alta., not to race without the insurance.

Last season, Liisa Savi- jarvi of Bracebridge, Ont., injured her back and broke a leg. She had been insured for a maximum $300,000, but her claim isn’t expected to be settled until next year.

Jelinek said he is pursuing an idea of setting up a central insurance agency in Ottawa, owned and operated by the sports community, to ensure fast and reasonably priced coverage.

“It’s funny how lucky you get sometimes when you just Keep the faith,” Donovan said at his weekly news con- ference. “I'm well aware of some of the funny bounces this game takes.”

going into the fourth quarter against Edmonton before a 17-point explosion, including a 104-yard drive in the last 34 seconds of the game, buried the Eskimos.

Donovan, 46, became de- fensive line coach of the Lions in 1986 under Mat- thews and took over the special teams duties this season.

He didn’t hesitate in ac- cepting the head coaching position when it was offered by general manager Joe Galat after Matthews was jettisoned despite winning 70 per cent of his gamei since 1983.

“I haven't been hampered by being head coach,” Dono- van said. “I'm still coaching a position and dealing with the players.

“I felt more like a head coach last week when I made some decisions. But, I hope people believe that the or- ganization is more important than the position.

It was Donovan's decision in the fourth quarter against

inning

Edmonton, with the Lions trailing by 16 points, to kick a field goal deep in Edmonton territory, rather than gamble on third down. It turned out to be a wise choice when the Lions later scored two con- verted touchdowns. RESERVES HELP

The first was a blocked punt by reserve defensive lineman Dwayne Derban which was recovered by Kevin Dixon, a backup run- ning back. After the B.C. defence held, the Lions mounted their final drive to vietory.

“We didn't wear down against Edmonton despite the pressure of being be- hind,” Donovan added. “One person, then another, made something happen.

“Then the whole machine kicked in. I'm well aware that, if you don't stick in theré in times of adversity, you won't be around.”

The Lions swept their sea- son series against Edmonton, winning 26-18 in July at B.C. Place Stadium.

B.C. completes its 18-game regular-season schedule Sun- day at home against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, then gets an extra week's rest before hosting the wes- tern final against the winner of the Edmonton-Calgary Stampeders semifinal.

An effective accident pol- icy for a racer would include temporary and permanent disability, replacing any loss of income an injured skier incurred.

“Finding a policy which provides disability, plus temporary disability, is ex- tremely difficult,” said as-

Rangers seek tough

guys for

By The Canadian Press

If the New York Rangers start calling up some en- forcers this week, call it a matter of survival.

The Rangers saw two offensive sparkplugs, Walt Poddubny and Kelly Kisio, and their No. 1 goaltender, Bob Froese, lost to injuries — none apparently serious — in a 5-3 National Hockey League loss Tuesday night to the Calgary Flames.

“We need some tough guys,” said Rangers coach Michel Bergeron. “We've got to do something.”

Bergeron maintained other teams are taking liberties with the Rangers.

“They know we don't have toughness and that even our big guys don't take charge physically. When I see a guy like (Calgary's Mike) Bullard going around . . . trying to get our best players . . . there’s something wrong.”

In other NHL games Tuesday, it was: Quebec Nord- iques 4, St. Louis Blues 3; Pittsburgh Penguins 5, Phil- adelphia Flyers 1; Minnesota North Stars 2, Detroit Red Wings 2; and New York Islanders 6, New Jersey Devils 3.

Poddubny, the Rangers’ leading scorer, was injured in the first period, after a collision with Calgary defenceman Ric Nattress. Poddubny slid into the boards feet first. A team spokesman said he wasn't seriously injured.

Froese left in the second period after being bumped by Flames right winger Hakan Loob and suffering a shoulder injury.

Two minutes later, Kisio took a stick across the throat.

“At this rate, (Sandstrom) will be dead by Christmas,” Bergeron said.

Sandstrom was cross-checked last week in New York by Philadelphia's Dave Brown, who was suspended Monday by the league for 15 games.

The Flames ran their unbeaten streak to five games — four wins and a tie — although the win only was their second in five games at home.

Rookie right winger Brett Hull scored two goals for Calgary before a crowd of 16,834 — including his father, Bobby. Other scorers for Calgary were John Tonelli, Carey Wilson and Jim Peplinski.

Marcel Dionne’s game-opening goal for the Rangers was his 1,700th career NHL point. Only one other player in history has surpassed 1,700 points — Gordie Howe, who retired with 1,850 points.

Other scorers for New York were Ron Greschner and Jari Gronstrand.

‘survival’

Islanders 6 Devils 3 Patrick Flatley scored twice on power plays in the first period as New York beat New Jersey. The Devils came into the game with their best start ever, 7-8-0, but lost their fourth game of five on the road. Red Wings 2 North Stars 2 Brian MacLellan scored a power-play goal 2:14 into the third period to tie the game and Minnesota's Kari Takko and Detroit's Greg Stefan turned in stellar goaltending per- formances. Dino Ciccarelli also scored for Minnesota. Petre Klima and defenceman Jeff Sharples scored for Detroit. Nordiques 4 Blues 3

BONUSES PAY OFF

NEW YORK (AP) — Lance Parrish of the Phil- adelphia Phillies went 1-for-4 in a 9-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves on July 12 and make $200,000 for it.

adre Dawson of the Chicago Cubs went 1-for-4 in a 12-0 loss tothe Los Angeles Dodgers that afternoon and made $150,000.

Steve Balbéni of the Kansas City Royals went 0-for-4 against the Oakland Athletics on Sept. 20 and made $65,000.

All had incentive bonus clauses in their contracts that added substantially to their salaries if they weren't injured by certain points of the season.

A study of baseball salaries in the New York Times and contract details obtained by The Associated Press reveal that several players earned more in bonuses than in salary.

The Times says there were 57 players who made more than $1 million and six of them made more than $2 million — Dan Quisenberry, George Brett, Jim Rice, Eddie Murray, Mike Schmidt and Gary Carter.

The $200,000 Parrish received for being in that July 12 game was a bonus for not being on the disabled list by the all-star break, and it made him a 1987 millionaire.

LEAVES DETROIT

Parrish, who left Detroit to sign with the Phillies, and Dawson were the only two premiere free agents who changed teams last season.

Dawson took a $1-million pay cut to sign a $500,000 contract with the Chicago Cubs, the team he wanted to play for, rather than remain with the Montreal Expos.

best cyclists from Canada

He earned an extra $150,000 when he did not go on the disabled list before the all-star break and another $50,000 when he was named to the National League all-star team.

He led the major leagues with 137 runs batted in and tied for the lead with 49 home runs. He’s almost certain to file for salary arbitration.

Balboni was released by the Royals after the 1986 season. He earned $625,000 but hurt his back on Sept. 9 and missed the rest of the season.

Kansas City offered him a 1987 contract that guaranteed only $100,000 but included bonuses of $65,000 for every 30 games that he didn't go on the disabled list.

Even though he batted only .207 with 24 home runs and 60 RBIs in 121 games, Balboni earned all $525,000 in bonuses.

Ken Dayley of the St. Louis Cardinals and Bryn Smith of the Montreal Expos were also released by their teams after the 1986 season and re-signed for a decreased salary with large bonuses.

SIGNS DEAL

Dayley signed a $75,000 contract — just $12,500 above the major league minimum — but made $250,000 in bonuses for appearances.

Smith signed with Montreal for the minimum $62,500, says the Times, but by making 26 starts and averaging between 52-3 and six innings per start, earned $404,219 bonuses.

Large bonuses identified by the Times went to Don Sutton of the California Angels, who made $340,000 for games started; Mike Witt of the Angels, who made $250,000 for innings pitched; Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros, who made $200,000 for his number of starts.

Pittsburgh pitcher Jim Gott, a former Toronto Blue Jay, made $217,000 in bonuses above his $100,000 salary for games started, and Atlee Hammaker of the San Francisco Giants made $212,000 in bonuses above his $168,000 salary for the number of his appearances, says the Times.

Pitcher Charlie Kerfeld of the Houston Astros had perhaps the most unusual contract. He made $110,037.37 and 87 boxes of orange Jello-O.
