-Red’s won't play Cubs y

unless police attend

The owner and general
manager of the Terrace
Reds says he will not allow
his team: to play in
Moricetown . unless the
police are in attendance.
.Red L'Estrange said he
will not risk having his

» John Powelchuck, the
Moricetown Cubs’ first
baseman with whom
L‘Estrange had a shoving
match last Sunday.
L’Estrange said
_Powelchuck ‘‘acts like an
animal on the field” and
deliveratel tries to injure
osing players. |

hell ‘of a nice guy, I don’t
know, but on the field he
acts like an animal,” he
said. oe

L'Estrange sent a letter
(the text of which is printed
below) to Bulkley Valley
Baseball League ident
Robert Kester of Smithers.
. In it, he requested the im-

Benchwarmer clouts

mediate suspension of
Powelchuck, whom he
accused of making obscene
gestures and attempting to
injure Reds’ players in
Sunday's double-header.

As well, he told the
president the Reds would
not play in Moricetown
unless he was given
assurance that police would
attend the game. His team
would foreit apes if
necessary, he said.

The Reds owner told The
Herald that in his opinion
the Moricetown teams
(Cubs and Grizzlies) do not
belong in the Bulkley Valley
ue. .
fe said teams that go
there to play have to change
in the bush and _ the
Moricetown diamond he
described as ‘‘a pile of rocks
up on a hill.”’

He said he h to hear
from Kester before June 5

when the Reds are
scheduled to visit
‘Moricetown.

However, he is not overly
optimistic about his chances
getting the support of
either the league president
or the other teams on the
circuit.

“We're looked on as an

outsider in this league,” he
lained.
is is the fourth season
the club has compedted in
the Bulkley Valley league.
Prior to that, Terrace was in
the Pacific Northwest
league until it folded. ‘

L’Estrange said he knows
be is looked u as a
“radical’’ in the league and
will not likely get both
requests fulfilled. None-the-
Jess he is making an effort
because he doesn't like to
see any sport cheapened by
wnsportsmanlike conduct,
he claimed.

He admitted candidly,
that the problem is
especially dilicate because
almost all the members of
both Moricetown teams are
Indians.

Perry throwing spit?

NEW YORK (AP) — The
baseball season would not
be official until someone
complained that Gaylord
Perry of Texas Rangers was
doing something illegal to
the balls.

The baseball season now
is official.

_ New York Yankees did the

complaining, yee eed

after Perry whi
‘ them 1-0 on six scattered
singles in the second game
of an American League
doubleheader.

‘He threw a lot of grease-
balls, no question about it,”
said Yankee manager Billy
Martin, who managed
Texas and Perry in 1975.
“But he’s one heckuva
competitor. I'm going to

hire him as a pitching coach

when he quits just to teach
that pitch because the
umpires never callit.. . ex-
cept once, when I had him,

they called it.”

Since Martin managed
him, someone wanted to
know if he also knew all ‘of
Perry’s hiding
what everyone claims is a

jelly‘like substance.
“Sure,” Martin replied.
“His eyebrows, his

sideburns, the side of his
pants, the back of his hair,
everywhere. You don't think
he rubs his eyebrows for
good luck, do you? You
stand next to him and he
-smells like a drugstore.”’
Stand next to an umpire,
though, and Perry comes
out smelling like a rose.

. “I must have checked the
ball 18 times,” said Al
Clark, the plate umpire for
Perry’s latest pitching

masterpiece, “and I never |

felt any slippery stuff. The
only time J threw a ball out
was because it had a
smudge on it. He throws a
heckuva fork ball.’”

puts something on the ball.

‘It’s no secret,” ‘says
Chambliss, ‘‘but the um-
ires act like they don’t

all over his body. Its a

mixture of jelly and sweat.”

“No one,” he noted,

L’Estrange hastened to
the point out that his letter

dians. It has to do with ‘‘the

they can drink in the dugout

On behalf of the Terrace

standing in this league, I
strongly request that John
Powelchuck be suspended
from further participation.
in this league, due to his
conduct and actions during
the course of two league

y

games in Terrace Sun
y 22 é

His raising and lowerin
of an index finger on bo
hands on several occasions,
directed at our dugout and
on two occasions: directed
toward the fans was in very
poor taste and almost in-
cited some of the fans into
coming onto the field. ONly
the cool control of the

ounds keeper kept the
‘ans at the north-end gate
from getting free and
making matters far worse.

His abusive language
directed at players and fans
can not be tolerated in
future. On two occasions
after ta a throw to first
base, he deliberately stayed
on the bag throwing a body
check at the base runner.

Powelchuck was involved
in an altercation at second
base (not a double play
situation) at which time he
deliberately went out of his
way to injure one of my ball
players and was given a
warning by the infield

umpire.

baseball is to remain
the fine competitive game
that it is and further enjoy
the good reputation and
standards the teams in this
league have worked so hard
to maintain and if we also
are to ask fans to come out
and watch, I have no doubt
that you, as president, will

_ use your power in enforcing

good sportsmanship and
deal. with this player
quickly.

Further concerning the
above player, I personally
had to go to their dugout on
two occasions and demand a
game ball after the third
out; ...I..am‘ sure Mr.
Powelchuck would not like
to face a charge of theft.

. Following these incidents
if and when the Reds are
scheduled to meet the Cubs
in‘ Moricetown, we want
assurance that the police
will be in attendance during
the course of the eintire
games. We will not par-
ticipate at any time in the
future with any team that
consumes loquor during the

ame and will, without .

estiation pull our club from

field if players from other
teams act intoxicated or
smell of liquor. .

VANCOUVER (CP) — Art
Willms, president of the
Canadian Volleyball
Association, ‘said Thursday
he is disappointed that
national team coach Bill
Neville is quitting, but he
can't see Neville’s demand
for a greater commitment
from the association and
government being met im-
mediately.

Neville resigned Wed-
nesday in frustration,
saying the program needs
more money, jcbs and
security. He said four
members of the mens’ team
moved to Winnipeg “with
big promises,” but can’t
find jobs.

Wilims said he will meet
Neville in Winnipeg next
week, but added that the
money the coach wants
spent on the program is not
available.

“T don’t want to lose him
because he is a great coach,
put I also have to
realistically look at the
situation,”’ said Willms.

ports that the Oilers would

in the NHL next season

were not accurate.

Sabres sack Smith

BUFFALO (CP)
Buffalo Sabres announced
