"You never know where one might turn up," Pascual said, half in Spanish, half in English. "This state is loaded with baseball talent." Last night a lot of that talent was showcased in the fifth annual Worth JBH Senior All-Star game at FIU. The 42 best senior players in Dade were split into North and South squads and asked to do their thing. "We're here for the fans," said Central High's Dwayne Johnson after the South defeated the North, 7-5, "but mostly, we're here for the scouts." And the scouts were there. They had flocked to the park with their radar guns and stop watches and note pads, each trying to detect the little details that might make a seemingly marginal prospect into something much more.

he said. "Matilla is in a great position to be a professional ball player. "He's got the body and the size and the really good arm. And best of all he's got great power." But just as Pascual noted that potential, so did a slew of other major league scouts. The result was almost devastating on the 18-ycar-old Matilla.

"There was pressure on me to do good all the time," he said. "Scouts followed me around everywhere. "Everything 1 did on the field was being filmed or timed or something. I tried to be superhuman to please the scouts. I tried to impress them and Instead I hurt myself." Plagued by the pressure, Matilla hit only .290 for Southridge during the season.

But in the playoffs, after most of the scouts had faded away, Matilla began to sting the ball again. In the state semifinal game, he went 3-for-3. "Basically, everyone knows who the big talents in this county are," said Pascual as he rattled off a list of names in no particular order. "All the scouts know the kids' weaknesses and their strengths. In this business there are very few real secrets." It is no secret that the position rich in talent in Dade this season is catcher.

With Westminster Christian's Bill Henderson, Southridge's Pedro Matilla and American's Pedro Gonzalez leading the way, there is little argument that it was a boom year for catchers. "Bill Henderson is far and above the best high school prospect in the county this year," said one scout who asked not to be identified. "He could go as early as the second round, maybe low in the first. His potential is limitless." But Matilla and Gonzalez aren't far behind If at all, according to Pascual. "All three have a lot of power," The man summed up his major league baseball career saying he had been in the big time only long enough to have a cup of coffee, but he proudly wore the New York Mets 1986 championship ring on his left hand.

The ring, with its 24 diamond chips surrounding one large diamond, sparkled in the lights at Florida International University's Sunblazer Field last night. Carlos Pascual had not thrown a strike or gotten one hit for. the world champions, but he figured he deserved a ring as much as any player on the roster. Pascual is the Mets' scouting supervisor for the state of Florida. He was the scout who signed Dwight Gooden to a contract worth $85,000, not including incentives in 1982.

For seven months out of the year NHL report Philadelphia is wary of overconfidence Despite top offenses, goaltending is crucial for Oilers, Red Wings 'e1 ii in.ii.iii.iiiw.1 hi iiiiia'-wkawawayakswaewiijLiajii An.e rxZ'f TjA jmMixc PHILADELPHIA The Philadelphia Flyers, hoping to finish off the Montreal Canadiens tonight (ESPN, 7:30 p.m.), find themselves in the same position they faced during their last series. They hope for different results this time. The Flyers lead 3-1 in the best-of-seven series after splitting the first two games at home and sweeping a pair from the Canadiens in the Forum. The winner will go to the Stanley Cup finals. In their last series, the Flyers led 3-1 but were extended to a seventh game before eliminating the New York Islanders.

"It's the same as Game 5 against the Islanders," defenseman Brad Marsh said. "We want to wrap it up and they don't want to go on holiday. "But hopefully everyone will remember Game 5 against the Isles and realize what we could of done better and what we did wrong and come out with a much stronger effort." Flyers coach Mike Keenan insisted he can't envision even a natural letdown because of the big lead. "I hope they learned something from that other series," Keenan said. "They won't be overconfident.

They have too much respect for the Canadiens." Keenan was asked to pinpoint the major difference between the teams in the first four games. "Ron Hextall," he said, naming the Flyers goalie. "He has played so well. He's the major difference. That's as clear as it can be stated." Hextall is 11-6 with a 2.47 goals-against average in the playoffs.

Tim Kerr, the team's leading scorer, will not play. "I think we showed something to a lot of people. "I was trying to keep it close to give us a shot in the third period. We had a shot." But Fuhr. who turned away 22 of 24 shots, was the difference.

"We played well, but the bottom line is we lost again tonight," Demers said. "Fuhr's the best I've seen with a one- or two-goal lead. He said, 'Boys. I'll win it for Fuhr was voted the No. 1 star of the game and Sather said the goaltender was the key to the series.

"I don't feel like the key," said Fuhr, who prepped for the game by playing 36 holes of golf Sunday. "We've got a lot of guys scoring goals. I don't score goals." With the score tied 2-2, Krushelnyski, who scored only 16 goals during the regular season, skated up the left side, took a pass from Wayne Gretzky on the give-and-go, drew Hanlon out and put the puck between the goalie's pads for a 3-2 lead. "I gave him half the net," Hanlon said. "I don't know if he was shooting for it.

If he was, he missed a four-foot space and hit a six-inch space." Krushelnyski said, "I let it go and was lucky to get it by him. "This may sound weird, but giving it to Gretz and getting it back, it seemed like I'd done that before," Krushelnyski said. "I saw everything. I think the goaltender just overcompensated and I fired it in the net." DETROIT Who would have thought that goaltending would dominate a series between the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers and those blue-collar grinders from the Motor City, the Detroit Red Wings? Nobody, that's who. Not Oilers coach Glen Sather; not Red Wings coach Jacques Demers.

Certainly not the goalies: Grant Fuhr of the Oilers or Detroit's Greg Stefan and Glen Hanlon. The Oilers got the go-ahead goal from Mike Krushelnyski with 1:14 remaining in the second period last night and Fuhr made it stand up for a 3-2 victory that gave Edmonton a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven NHL semifinal series. Game 5 is tomorrow night at the Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton (ESPN, 9:30 p.m.). "I just have to keep it up," Fuhr said. "I've had good luck so far.

The guys are playing well in front of me. "Detroit has a good offense, too. They're a pretty good team. If they keep playing like that, good things are going to happen." Each of the first four games has been a tight, close-checking affair. Detroit won the opener 3-1.

The Oilers won the next three by scores of 4-1, 2-1 and 3-2. "I don't think anybody in their right mind can say we didn't play well," said Hanlon, who made 17 saves in his first start of the series. Asaocitd Prsl Edmonton's Dave Hunter celebrates after scoring the Oilers' first goal EVERT, from 1 7 I don't think there's anything wrong with not going out on top. El Chris Evert tennis. Evert does not plan to leave the public domain totally.

For instance, she'd like to continue all her endorsements she's launching her own skin-care line of cosmetics in the fall and she'd like to work as a tennis commentator with NBC-TV or CBS-TV. Evert also can envision a day when she will have a family. "Oh, definitely." she said. "But I've talked about it for so long. I think the next step is not to talk about it.

just to do it. I come from a real close family, five kids in our family. But I was just divorced three weeks ago, so it's kind of premature to talk about it." Mike Bass is a sportswriter for The Cincinnati natural and not worry about it." Evert has written books on her life, including the 1984 "Lloyd on Lloyd" chronicling the couple's own version of their sometimes-stormy relationship. When Evert was asked what untruths in the press really hurt her, she points to her private life. "Basically, anything personal that's been connected with my marriage or the divorce or whatever, when people fabricate these kinds of stories where John and I are fighting bitterly," she said.

"Really, here we are, talking on the phone everyday, so upset about it. saying, "Why can't people accept the fact that we still are the best of Even if she retires from touring physical conditioning. And even if Navratilova continues her 1987 slump, Graf could provide the new incentive to stay at or near the top. "That's the big question with Muhammad Ali, (Bjorn) Borg. great athletes: When is the right time?" Evert said.

"I don't know. I really, really don't know. "I don't think there's anything wrong with not going out on top, because you've exhausted all the possibilities of playing your best tennis. Maybe it's good to go out a little bit past your prime, because how do you know if you've reached your prime? Maybe you can ride the wave of that for a few years. "So, probably the best time is when I feel I don't know when I just got through in the last two years well, they're separated, they're getting back, they're getting divorced; I think we've been through a lot the last two years emotionally, having the whole world look in and see what's happening to us I think we can put up with anything now after that." Evert said, then laughed.

"And I'm not really as concerned now about press and image now. I'm just trying to learn about myself outside of tennis and be I'm going to go out. I still love to win big titles, but if I don't, if I feel like I'm slipping, maybe I should get out then. But I usually take one year at a time." There are obvious advantages to staying on the tour, such as money and a continuance of the routine and lifestyle she has known for more than half her life. But she also can get away from the other side, the sometimes-ugly side, the media's microscope.
