is plausible setting. We have a new entrant in the speculation derby for possible sites for a new baseball stadium. A piece of land in the southeast corner of Sheldon Road and Five Mile in Plymouth Township is being promoted as a strong contender for Tom Monaghan's new home for the Tigers. A story in the February issue of Corporate Detroit Magazine uncovered some unusual circumstances which make the Plymouth Township location attractive as a stadium site. The monthly business magazine is due out later this week, but with our snoot always in the air for fresh ink, BtS got a sniff of an advance copy.

Tom Henderson, contributing editor of Corporate Detroit and a re- Hoot Ewers attack, Ti gers spokesman Dan Ewald said. Evers spent 12 years in the Battle Creek native Nolan Henke birdied three of the final four holes Saturday for a 5-under-par 66 and a four-stroke lead over Robert Wrenn after the third round of the frost-plagued Phoenix Open. Henke, 26, in his third year on the PGA Tour, has one career victory the B.C. Open last September. He has a 16-under 197 total heading into today's final round of this $1 million tournament here with the winner earning $180,000.

"This is only my third year out and I'm still learning things," Henke said. "I've been in the lead after the third round twice before. I won once and wound up sixth the other time (1990 Hartford Open). So I'm 50-50." More golf Lee Trevino made a 15-foot birdie putt won six skins and $100,000 over the first nine holes of the Senior Skins Game at the Mauna Lani Resort in Kohala Coast, Hawaii.

And the site is ideal for a new baseball stadium. It is in the corridor of 1-275 and M-14 a choice location and it is in Wayne County. A lot of things add up to making BtS think the Plymouth Township site has more credence than anything we've seen, heard, read or written so far.

Among them: Monaghan's pull with the church; access to M-14 and 1-275; and the fact that the land is only a few minutes drive up M-14 from The Settlement, Monaghan's new development. In addition, we've heard that Wayne County Executive Ed McNa-mara has told people the stadium will be built in Wayne County. Top NHL prospects NHL central scouting's midyear rankings are out. This is the good stuff, not just a list of the top players in Major the various college conferences and high schools. This compilation throws all of the eligible players into the drum and spits them out Nos.

1 to 252, the final pick in the 12th round in this year's entry draft. There's no surprise at No. 1 it's junior phenom Eric Lindros of Oshawa (Ontario Hockey League). An American, Scott Lachance of Boston College, a 6-foot-l, 180-pound defenseman, is No. 2.

He's followed by Scott Niedermayer, defense, Kamloops (Western Hockey League); Patrick Poulan, left wing, St. Hyacinth (Quebec League); and Brent Bilodeau, defense, Seattle (WHL). Pat Peake of Madison Heights and the Detroit Ambassadors (OHL) is No. 14. Another Detroit area player rated as a first-round prospect is Brian Ralston of Ann Arbor, a 6-2, 180-pound center who plays for Compuware's Tier II team.

Ralston's stock rocketed with a terrific performance at the world junior tournament last month. Here come Soviets It'll soon be announced that Detroit has been selected by the AAU Boys' Basketball Committee as a host to the AAU-Soviet Tour in May. The Soviets are expected to send their national junior team for the 12-game series to be staged around the country. Local AAU organizers are trying to get the game set up for either Joe Louis or Cobo arena with the specifics to follow. They say the folks at arena management have been most helpful.

Question of the week Are the Lions better off without Mouse Davis? Kupelian: "Correct me if I'm wrong here. The Lions' offense scored enough points, didn't it? Up among the league leaders, I believe. The question ought to be: Is there a stretch defense?" O'Hara: "I've spent so much time pounding away on my lap-top computer this week that anything sounds good. I was never a fan of the Stretch but Wayne Fontes had better have something better in mind if he drops it."
