03 SPORTS The Vancouver Sun, Tuosday, August 8, 1995 CFL TRACK AND FIELD BAILEY: excelled in track and basketball as a teenager Stamps manage to survive sloppy play to top Stallions Continued from D1 Canadian Press DONOVAN BAILEY BORN: Manchester, Jamaica. RESIDES: Oakville, Ont. AGE: 27. BACKGROUND: Track and basketball star at Elizabeth Park high school in Oakville, TIMES: Clocked a wind-aided 10.36 in 1993; improved to 10.03 in '94 and 9.91 in July. QUOTE: "There had been doubts that we deserved the 1 -2 ranking in the world.

Now, the doubters have been answered." Bailey. Mark McLoughlin kicked five field goals Sunday as Calsary Stampeders fumbled their way to a 29-15 victory over Baltimore Stallions. The game pitted the top teams in the CFL's North and South divisions but wasn't a display of stellar football as the teams turned the ball over nine times on the rain-soaked turf. "It was frustrating that we didn't have more points on the board, but we were still in a tight ball game and we were doing the things we do to said Calgary quarterback Doug Flutie. "We moved the ball, we ate up the clock and we kicked a couple of ield goals that put the game out of reach." In games Saturday, Shreveport Pirates embar-, rassed Winnipeg Blue Bombers 65-17, while San Antonio Texans beat Memphis Mad Dogs 24-9.

And Pfaff bristled at the suggestion that Bailey has dropin-d into the scene out of nowhere. "If anything, it has been very systematic," Pfaff said. "The foundation and natural talent was already there." Still, for a guy who has run the fifth-best 100 metres ever 9.91 Bailey is a mystery man, his name not keeping pace with his feet. Even shy Ben Johnson was well known on the international track circuit long before he won his world title in Home in a steroid-enhanced 9.83.

That's the way I like it," Bailey said last week. "I like to keep them guessing." What is known of Bailey is that he was born 27 years ago in Manchester, Jamaica, moved to Oakville, in 1981 with his fmnily, was a two-sxrt star (track and basketball) at Elizabeth Park High School in Oakville, has been plagued with injuries over the years and is a self-made busi- "We had some good moments but not enough," said Baltimore coach Don Matthews. Baltimore could have taken control of the game, but bungled the chance. Baltimore rookie Mark Orlando was all alone streaking for a touchdown behind the Calgary defence when he simply dropped the ball and Calgary recovered. 'Hie touchdown would have given Baltimore the lead and they never threatened again.

In Shreveport, the Pirates stuffed the worst defeat in team history down the Blue Bombers' throats. Only six times in CFL history has a team scored more points in a game. "I'm glad I was a part of this," said linebacker Anthony Shelton, who was picked up by Shreveport after being released by Winnipeg. "I never felt sorry for them." Winnipeg dropped to 2-4 while Shreveport improved to 2-5. Martin Patton tied the CFL record for rushing touchdowns in a game, five, set in 1962 by Calgary's Earl Lunsford.

Meanwhile, San Antonio improved to 4-3 with its win over Memphis, 3-4. Rookie quarterback Jim Kemp, the son of prominent American politician and former NFL quarterback Jack Kemp, led the way for the Texans by throwing TD passes to Kitrick Taylor and Mike nessman in the clothing import and export trade and owned a Porsche long before his running began to pay off. "He's dedicated, he's enthusiastic, he's outgoing," said his manager, Ray Flynn.

O'Billovich remains convinced Lammle will develop into a quality CFL kicker. However, with O'Billovich's flurry of off-season moves (quarterback Kent Austin and running back Reggie Barnes to name but two) the future is now for Toronto (2-4). "We could easily be 5-1 or 6-0," said O'Billovich, who consummated the deal this weekend while in Ottawa attending a wedding.

"A lot of that was relevant to the kicking game. "It wouldn't surprise me to see Wayne go to Ottawa and become a good kicker. He's got the talent, he's just got to get himself mentally disciplined to be more consistent." Henley was thrilled to land another starting offensive lineman in Jovanovich.

Instead, the Ticats won 20-16 in overtime.
