"I told myself If he (Flynn) throws to second, I go home." i as going to second all the ay." said Obcrkfcll. i knew Flynn would have to make an off balance throw." Flynn, meanwhile, said he couldn't get much on the ball because it was slick from hitting a wet spot on the artificial surface at Olympic Stadium. Gullickson, who finished ith a six-hitter, mowed down the Braves until Gerald Perry hit the first pilch of the seventh inning between first and second base for a single.

The 2 0 lead Win leaves Canadians all square LOS ANGELES Canada defeated the North American Native All-Stars 1S-U at the Olympic Festival field lacrosse tournament Wednesday. Jim Weller of Brampton, led Canada with five goals while John Jordan, also of Brampton, had three goals and Kevin Alexander of Victoria, Rob Dalzell of Coquitlam and Derek Keenan of Whitby, scored two goals each. John Grant of Peterborough, Brian Tasker of Vancouver, Stu Aird of Owen Sound and Blaine Harrison of Toronto scored one goal each. Jay Printupled the North American Natives with six goals. Canada is 1-1 after a 21-12 drubbing at the hands of the powerful U.S.

team on Tuesday. In another game Wednesday, the U.S. beat Australia 14-9. Willock, a boat builder in Sidney, has a personal motive for doing well at the Olympics. Call il revenge for his brother.

Bernie. Bernie Willock was on the 190 Canadian Olympic cycling learn in the same event as Martin but suffered sharply when Canada joined the U.S. led boycott of the Moscow Games. Bernie, since retired, now is Martin's personal coach. "He's been a great help." says Martin of his brother.

"This has drawn us very close together." Martin Willock and teammates Robert Pulfer of Vancouver, Allan Masson of Montreal and Pierre Harvey of Quebec City clocked a Canadian record time of two hours, three minutes, 59 seconds last month at the Olympic trials. Willock thinks that In the smog that will probably lie over the San Fernando Valley like a blanket of chemicals, a time of 2:02:00 will win a medal. The time is 1:59:31. Willock has no illusions about the task ahead. "This is a European dominated sport.

With the Soviet-led boycott, I'd say we moved up about five notches from 15th-ranked at the Games to about 10th. But hey, on any given day By Clev Cheensa (n any day around the pleasant, snftly undulating farm land around (Vnlral and North Saan-iih and Peep Cove, Martin V.il-Imk can be seen cyclina down some of the sIt py rnunirj roads that liHik for all the world as of they were plucked right out of a picture post card Of the 39 Greater Victoria athletes going to the Olympics probably none has a more idyllic training ground than the 2J year-uld cyclist. "The road work is hard but sometimes I j.ist take a minute to look up and think to myself, my, this is heautif ul out here. It's just minutes from downtown Victoria but it is another world." Willock's event is the 100-kilometre team time trial and on Aug. 5 at the Summer Olympics on a stretch of freeway near Los Angeles, he and his mates will get their shot at glory.

Emotionally as well as physically on that day, Willock ill be a long way from the backroads of Central Saanich. If Willock enjoys a sunset or two in training there is no harm done, but he knows the reason he's on the roads in the first place is to cycle hard. His event is anything but serene. The 100-kilometre team time trial is a lough and torrid race. Competitors race the clock and not other learns.

Teams of four leave the starting post every minute. The four teammates stay together the whole distance, with the leader, who acts as a windbreak, falling back to fourth spot every 20 seconds. There i.s no first-string or second string. Everyone rides the windbreak position for 20-second stretches before falling back to fourth and working up to windbreak again. Travelling at speeds of 30 miles per hour on bicycles that cost each, ith wheels less than an inch away from those of the teammates behind and in front, the chance of serious injury weighs heavy.

"It takes a lot of practice," confirms Willock, who left recently with the Canadian team for its pre-Olympic camp in Santa Barbara, Calif. "There is a chance of dangerous injury. Often only three racers off a team finish the race. That's why the rules are that you are timed until only your third man crosses the finish line." The event is cycling's version of the marathon. Willock says that he is totally spent after a race.

"You're pretty wrecked for two or three days after a race." Gullickson enjoyed the result of Gary Carter's 17th home run In the first inning was then cut in half hen Perry took second on a groun-dout and scored on Claudell Washington's two-out single. Murphy scored the tying run in the eighth after opening the inning with a double. Oberkfell's groundout and a single by Alex Trevino brought him home. Highlighting AL play, Greg Luzins-ki collected four hits and drove in a pair of runs In a 16-hit attack that carried the White Sox past Detroit. Bert Blyleven beat Kansas City for the fourth time this season and 23rd Bljncas.

Still to come is the announcement of celebrity quests of sponsor Murray l'eim. He's beinu secretive but rumors indicate that one name on the list to be released on Auj. 1 is comedian Joey Bishop. Other golf oddments include recent holes-in-one. Ken Greenhalfth fired the first ace of his career the other day at Uplands on 172-yard 11th hole.

Benson had a 77, Doug Morgan of Colwood 78 and Randall 79. Best net score Wednesday was a 75-1065 by Frolek. Glen Brockel-bank of Glen Meadows had a net 66, Mahovolich and Elton Deens of Colwood 68s, and Rob Fulton of Gorge Vale a 70. Uplands retained the Victoria and District junior interclub team golf championship and Pepsi Cola Trophy Wednesday by topping five other clubs in the annual competition. Members of the winning team were John Randall, Steve Benson, Todd Mahovlich, Ron Frolek, Gary Leibel and Sam Margolis.

Under the tournament format, teams entered three golfers in low-net competition and three in low-gross play with the best two scores in each to count. Uplands emerged with a 592 total in the two-day event which opened Tuesday at Glen Meadows.

Hart's teammate, John Carter, slammed a three-run homer. Triangle blanked Reynolds 15-0 at Luxton Park in the Greater Victoria Every year about this time the subject comes up and each year Victorians are frustrated by the blackouts of B.C.

Lions games. A friendly caller, who now resides here but ho has been a fan of another CFL club in the past, says he would dearly like to become a B.C. Lions fan but it isn't easy with that stretch of water between here and there and no home games on TV. He would go to the expense of travelling to Sunday games maybe if he could get to know the players by atching night games on the tube. Shortsighted is his term for the attitude of those that make the decisions to black out games on the Island.

Good point, of course! jQICTORIA I Triano leads way to victory ST. CATHARINES, Ont. (CP) Jay Triano of Niagara Falls, turned in a strong performance and scored 19 points to spark the Canadian Olympic basketball team to a 90-84 victory over Yugoslavia Wednesday in a pre-Olympic tournament. The result, combined with Australia's 97-89 upset of Italy, pits Canada against Yugoslavia in the pre-Olympic challenge championship game tonight at Toronto's York University. The game was a physical affair with Tony Simms of Toronto and Drazen Dalipagic almost coming to blows.

Canada took a 55-44 halftime lead but the Yugoslavians cut it to 83-82 with minutes left. Simms led the Canadians with 21 points. Gerald Kazanowski of Nanai-mo had 18, Eli Pasquale of Victoria 13 and Greg Wiltjer of Victoria 11.
