Beck takes trade well | By FRANK BROWN NEW YORK (AP) “There's been a trade, ,, ,”” That's the way it always starta. The coach or the general manager hems and haws a bit, then drops the bomb on the player called aside, This time the coach was Don Cherry and the player was defenceman Barry Beck, both of whom slood in Colorado Rockies’ practice rink. While the rest of the players prepared for a typical work day last Friday, the uneasy conversation was taking place, “Beck took it super,’’ recalled Cherry after telling Beck he was traded to New York Rangers. “T explained to him he was going to get a lot of ink he never got here in Denver and he would be appreciated a let more in New York." Which is bound to come true in time, The thing was, practice was about to start and, after all, the man they call Bubba had been with the Rockies for all 148 games of his National Hockey League career, Yankees sign two agents NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees will announce the signing of firat baseman Bob Watson and pitcher Rudy May, two of the top free agents in last week’a re- entry baseball draft, at a news conference Thursday. Tom Reich, agent for Watson, confirmed the agreement today but denied reports that another of his clients, pitcher Bruce Kison, had reached terms with the Yankees. Reich said he had discussed Kison with the Yankees but described the talks as preliminary. “So [ said, ‘Well, what do you want to do?’” said Cherry, "He said, ‘Yeah. Let's go."" So Barry Beck, in his firat official minutes as a New York Ranger, spent the next hour practising with Colorado Rockies — who didn’t know he was leaving until Cherry blew his whistle and summoned the team toa corner of the rink, "I said, ‘Guys, we're gonna lose a friend,’ said Cherry, who took over the Rockies In June and became fond of the 6-foot-3, 215-pound hulk. The players wished Beck luck, then practice began. “Darnedest thing you ever saw,’ -mused Cherry. “No one went within 20 feet of each other. We did some heavy skating at the end and that’s the only time Barry slacked off. He said, ‘That's enough,’ and he left,” “J had a couple of beers, chen I tried ta get in touch with (Rangers general managercoach}) Fred Shero,” said Beck. "But I couldn't find him, so I just went to the rink the next morning.” One moment he was days away from closing a deal on a house in Denver, The next moment he was seeking an apartment in Manhattan. One minute he was playing with a team that had won 35 of 170 games. The next minute he was playing with a team that reached the Stanley Cup finals last 8 g. Beck has noticed the difference after just two games with New York. “The Rangers move the puck so much quicker, it’sa lot easier for me,” said Beck. “A puck can always move quicker than a player, “The Rangers have a lot more talent, so that should make it easier, too. They have a lot more good defencemen, so I won't play ag much, . “In Denver 1 was always tired. It wasn't the responsi- bility, it was just that I played so much every game,’’ he said. “And we were losing 50 much there it got to the point we were trying for ties." Cy Young to Cub NEW YORK (AP) Chicago Cubs reliever Bruce Sutter, who tied the National League record for saves with 37 last season, today was named winner of the NL Cy Young Award far 1979. Sutter, who came within one save of the major league baseball record set by Toronto native John Hiller of Detroit Tigers in 1973, narrowly defeated 21-game winner Joe Niekro of Houston Astros in voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Mike Marshall won it for Los Angeles Dodgers in 1974 and Sparky Lyle of New York Yankees took the American League honor in 1977.

Players milled about on the floor of the arena. An embattled leader doffed nis garments, removed his teeth and attempted to scale a glass barrier, It had all the ingredients of a comedy caper. Instead, it was the ultra- modern Omni sports facility in and the battling par- ticipants members. of the Flames and the visiting Winnipeg Jets. The incident took place midway through the third period of a Nationa] Hockey League game won &) by Atlanta and resulted in expulsion of nine persons — four players from each team and Winnlpeg coach Tom <‘ MeVie. It was McVie who removed his coat, tie and teeth and at- tempted to scale the glass partition between the players’ benches to get at Atlanta coach Al MacNeil during the benchclearing brawl, He was restrained by arena officials, much the way the Flames had restrained Winnipeg shooters earlier in the game. “He took off his tie and took out his teeth and started shouting obscenities,'’ MacNeil said. ‘He was very irrational.” "T told him if he wanted to come over, to come on over, He was ripping at the glass. If he had come into our bex, I'd have had to do something, ['ve never had a coach challenge me like that.” All the scoring was completed before the hostilities got started at the 11:15 mark. Some 153 minutes in penalties were assessed — 72 to Atlanta — during the 25-minute stop- Page. Veteran centre Eric Vail scored twice, giving him a career total of 155 and a place in the Atlanta record books as the top scorer in franchise's history. The old mark was held by Tom Lysiak, traded away to Chicago last year. Elsewhere Tuesday night, ‘Hartford Whalers routed Colorado Rockies 7-2, New York Islanders got three goals from three different shooters in a span of less than 3% minutes to beat Los Angeles Kings 4-1, and Minnesota North Stars skated to a 7-7 tie in Van- couver with the Canucks, Flames § Jeta 0 The game had the ear- marks of a donnybrook earlier in the third period when six players were sent off with fighting penalties. Two of those combatants, Atlanta’s Phil Russell and Dave Hoyda of the Jets, chronicled the main event as their major penalties ex- pired, Kent Nilsson, a mainstay of the Jets far two years in the defunct World Hockey Association before joining the Flames this year, also scored two goals as did Ivan Boldirev. Whalers 7 Rocklea 2 Mark Howe scored once. His 5i-year-old father, Gordie, added his sixth of the year.

(CP) — Senlor A hockey is making a comeback in British Columbia with an increase to 10 teams this season from three last spring, * For the firat time in nearly 20 years, there are two senior leagues in the province, which has a long and colorful history in Allan Cup play. The new B.C. Senior Hockey League, with teams in Delta, Kamloops, Quesnel and here, begins play thia weekend, joining the established Western In- ternational Hockey League. When Nelson Maple Leafs and Calgary Stampeders dropped out of the WIHL at Christmas last seagon, the WIKL was left with three teams — its lowest total in years. Trail Smoke Eaters, Cran- brook Royals and Kimberley Dynamiters struggled through to the end of the season, but. the future of senior hockey didn’t look bright. . Much further north, however, a veteran hockey man had other ideas. Bill Crossan, president of Prince George Mohawks, was quietly working to fith, general ior A league, with considerable help from Cliff Smith, general manager of Delta Hurry Kings, The Mohawks had. dominated B.C, in- termediate hockey in the 1970s, winning five provincial championships, two Western Canada Utles and the Canadian chatn- pionship in 1978, - The Mohawks had no more mountains to clib in inter- mediate hockey and the Hurry Kings were in much the same position, after winning B.C. titles in 1977 and 1979, The BCSHL was formed at a series of summer meetings in North Vancouver, Other clubs in the four- team league besides Prince George and Delta are Kamloops Cowboys, who wear the uniforms of the ald Calgary Cowboys from the defunct World Hockey Asso- 12 FOR HOMEOWNERS ciation, and Quesnel Kangaroos, who. won the Western Canada in- termediate title last spring, Creation of the BCSHL gives B.C, two senior leagues for the firat time since the demise in 1960 of the Okanagan League, which rode to glory with the world champion Penticton Vees in And, the WIHL has grown to six teams. Nelson is back, along with Spokane Flyers, who spent last season in the ill-fated, semi-professional Pacific Hockey League. The sixth team is Elk Valley Blazers, who play in Fernie. The WIHL has been playing for several weeks and the BCSHL starts its 25- game schedule Saturday with Kamloops playing here against the Mohawks. Playoff winners of the two leagues meet for the Savabe Cup final in the home rink of the WIHL champion and this may be just the start of a major revivaltof senior in- terest. Crossan envisions a four- division B.C. super league, with sections in the Lower Mainland, Okanagan, Kootenays and Cariboo, The calibre of play in the new BCSHL is expected to be slightly below the WIHL the first season, The WIHL has a colorful history, going back to the Allan Cup and world championship teams from Trall and Kimberley in the late 1930s. e The Music That Changed The World...
