"We want to take a look at his arm," said Montreal manager Buck Rodgers, who indicated that Barker will be offered a minor league contract to pitch at Class AAA in Indianapolis.

Bouncing back after falling behind 20 early in the game, the surprising New York Rangers beat Washington Capitals 4-2 Friday night and took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Patrick Division final. The Rangers can wrap up the NHL playoff series Sunday night in Madison Square Garden, where the teams split two games earlier in the series. After finishing fourth in the division, two games under .500, the Rangers upset division champion Philadelphia Flyers in the opening round and have continued their stunning success against the Caps. "We're fighting back and not giving up," said New York captain Don Maloney, who scored the final goal at 2: 12 of the third period. "We have nothing to lose.

"The pressure is all on them." Washington coach Bryan Murray contended, however, that playing before the. home fans will put pressure on the Rangers in game six. "We'll be back here Tuesday night, I assure you that," Murray vowed, promising a deciding seventh game at the Capital Centre. But the Caps, seeking their first division title ever, do not seem to be playing the kind of hockey that enabled them to post the third-best regular-season record in the NHL. Coming into the series, the Caps were 41-2-4 for games in which they led after the second period and hadn't lost an overtime decision in their last 25 chances.

Also, I think part of my success comes from not jumping into all this too quickly. All the promotions and commericals didn't come all at once, but were spread out." Fung performed at the opening of the B.C.

Pavilion at Expo Friday and will also perform at the Expo opening ceremonies May 2. Two days later, she travels to Bulgaria for a training session with that country's national team. It sounds like a hectic, exciting schedule, but Fung says her discipline is constantly put to the test. Some days she trains three hours, takes an hour off to do interviews or discuss promotions or competitions b'y telephone. Then she trains another three hours, often followed by evening engagements which include banquets, performances or still more interviews.

Three days a week she spends two hours to train her two proteges, both of whom will compete against her in senior competitions this year. "My timetable is very strict, which is one reason why I have been a bit sick since coming back from Korea," she said. "My doctor said I'm run down. That's why I travel to Toronto to train once a month. Not only is my coach there, but it's a retreat away from the phones and the mail." Olympic gold a springboard for gymnast for me, I am so happy," she said.

"I had no idea at all when I won the gold it would turn out like this. have happened so fast they took me a bit by surprise." Fung is one 1984 gold medalist who has managed to keep competing internationally while juggling the promotional appearances, speaking engagements and commercial endorsments that came her way after the victory. While some competitors retired to become product promoters full-time and others were not approached for commercials, Fung says the nature of her sport has helped her garner endorsments and performance engagements. The Pro Specs sponsorship is Fung's first major endorsement, although she has done promotions around Vancouver, including work for the Vancouver Centennial Commission and several upcoming appearances for Expo. One appearance seems to lead to another, she says.

"I don't know how many times I have been approached after a performance about doing some type of work," said Fung. Sun News Services Dwight Gooden, last year's National League Cy Young Award winner, pitched his first shutout of 1986 Friday, holding St. Louis to just five hits and leading New York Mets to a 9-0 National League baseball triumph over the Cardinals. Ray Knight provided the power, hitting his fifth and sixth homers of the season matching his 1985 "It's the best I think I've ever felt," Knight said. "I've never been a home run hitter in the major leagues: really can't explain it except that I'm just more relaxed and a little older." Gooden, 3-0, struck out five and walked none for his third complete game in four starts and his 12th career shutout.

It was the Cardinals' third shutout loss during their current five-game losing streak. In other NL games, it was: Montreal Expos 4, Chicago Cubs 2 in 11 innings; Philadelphia Phillies 6, Pittsburgh Pirates 3, and Houston Astros 3, Cincinnati Reds 1. In the American League, it was: New York Yankees 10, Cleveland Indians Chicago White Sox 9, Detroit Tigers Toronto Blue Jays 2, Baltimore Orioles 1 in 10 innings; Milwaukee Brewers 11, Texas BRIAN KENT LORl FUNG: a bit surprised Helm off to i solid start at Ex.

She lias a string of 38 horses and she saddled her fourth winner Fri- day only the eighth day of the meeting.

Hehn has 18 2-year-olds. That can create, many problems, but two of her four wins have come with juveniles.

"We had her mother Chery's Capri," Hehn said. "She had a lot of speed.

And with Gallant Agent (the sire) having speed I liked this one. She's her first foal. The mare had about 12 wins. She was a hard-knocking mare and was up in allowance company until she got quarter cracks. She made about $36,000." Hehn had a winning percentage 17.2 in 1985 while finishing 24th among trainers in wins.

Things look even better now. "I've got a nice bunch of horses," Hehn said of her quick start. "We've tried to upgrade every year." Hehn also credits a pair of ex-jockeys who have been galloping the horses on her Langley farm Edgewood Acres. "We've got a half-mile track and Mike Chabara and Eddie Wrayton have really helped," she said.

Fung returned to Vancouver this week from Korea where she performed as guest of the Korean sportswear firm Pro Specs. The company is sponsoring the 23-year-old rhythmic gymnast through the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, providing her with clothing and equipment and what she will only describe as "a healthy sum" in exchange for her promoting and performing on behalf of the firm. She received the Order of Canada last month and was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame last year. She was the only Western gymnast to make the top 10 in the 1985 world rhythmic championships in Spain and was B.C.

She also has dabbled in modeling, made several television appearances and, apart from her own training six hours a day, is coaching junior Canadian rhythmic champion Trisha Gilmore and New York state champion Ingrid Knight.

Denver from Cincinnati in 1984 cost the Broncos their first and third-round picks in this year's draft, as well as their fifth-round choice next season. That puts the Broncos in the worst drafting position of their 27-year history. Agents all over the United States are buzzing that Los Angeles Raiders' owner Al Davis is about to pull another masterstroke, trading up for Houston's third pick in the draft so that the Raiders can select Purdue quarterback Jim Everett. Unless the Raiders make a move, they will be stuck with their own Eick, No. 24 in the first round.

They ave no second-round pick, having sent it to Philadelphia Eagles for Jerry Robinson. Los Angeles Rams' head coach John Robinson has followed the path of his predecessors, looking for the quick fix at quarterback. The latest is Steve Bartkowski, 33, who started working out with the three other Ram quarterbacks Dieter Brock, Jeff Kemp and Steve Dils last week. But Robinson emphasized that Bartkowski's presence does not preclude the Rams' need to find a young quarterback who could be groomed to play for five or 10 years. The Rams won't have a chance to grab either of the top-rated two Everett and Chuck Long of Iowa unless they trade for a first-round pick higher than their own, which is 23rd in the order.

And if they can't get Everett or Long, they'll look to the next level of quarterbacks, which includes Mike Norseth of Kansas, Doug Gaynor of California State University at Long Beach, Jack Trudeau of Illinois, Robbie Bosco of Brigham Young University, Mark Rypien of Washington State, Hugh Millen of Washington and Walter Brister of Northeast Louisiana. Sun News Services A National Football League exhibition game scheduled for Aug. 3 at London's Wembley Stadium between the Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys may be cancelled because of the Libyan situation, organizers said Friday. The NFL teams are concerned about the safety of their squads in the wake of last week's U.S. air raid on Tripoli and the fear of reprisals against Americans in Europe.

Wembley spokesman Martin Corrie said a decision had not been reached but said security was "one of the first things discussed" when the game was planned. NFL spokesman Dick Maxwell said the league expected the game to be played. Barring some sort of trade, Denver Broncos won't make a choice until 50 players have been selected in Tuesday's 51st NFL draft. The Broncos' second selection won't come until 104 players have been chosen. The trade that brought linebacker Ricky Hunley to rent or future negotiations, King said.

King's remarks followed a call from Calgary oilman Keith Grove for an independent performance review of senior committee managers. Grove said a review is necessary because several ousted employees have told him horror stories about the organization which could lead to financial problems. Grove said the former staffers are afraid to go public for fear of breaching conditions of their settlement agreement. But King said they have nothing to fear. 1 CANADIAN TIRE CORRECTION NOTICE "Shopper Stoppers" Sunday, April 27 to Thursday, May 1, 1986 Gag rumor denied by King Due to circumstances beyond our control, the following items will no be available at all locations: Pg.
