Star-Phoenix from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada • 20

C4 SPORTS Tuesday, November 14, 1995 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan The StarPhoenix Light touch weighs heavy on Schneider ,.3 thought it was fine when I let it go." Anderson, who has won the provincial title each of the last two years, seems to have Schneider's number, beating her in last year's provincial final as well as earlier in the Sun Life event with a 6-2 victory in less than 10 ends. "I cant believe it (was light)," said Anderson, who is supported by Kay Montgomery, Donna Gi-gnac and Elaine McCloy. "The last ends were so back and forth and they were in control and they were set up. It's a big break. We got lucky." Both rinks played a wide open game and traded single-point open takeouts in the first three ends, giving Anderson a 2-1 lead.

Schneider blanked the fourth and then gave Anderson a steal of one in the fifth end when her shot rock rolled out after the takeout, leaving Anderson with a 12-foot biter and a 3-1 lead. "That (fifth end) was probably a big point," Schneider said, "but if you're one down coming home with hammer you're usually in a good spot" Anderson returned the favor in the next end when her final I' By Janice Harvie of The StarPhoenix Four-time provincial women's curling champion Michelle Schneider of Regina committed a $4,000 "whoops" against Sherry Anderson of Prince Albert in the final of the Sun Life Ladies' Classic on Sunday at the Nutana Club. Schneider faced an open draw with the hammer in the 10th end. A draw anywhere within the eight-foot circle would have tied the game 6-6 and forced an extra end. Although three sweepers coaxed it once it crossed the hog line, the laggard rock came to rest just on the verge of the house, leaving Anderson two counters in the 12 foot and a 8-5 victory worth $9,000.

Schneider and teammates Ati-na Ford, Cindy Ford and Patti Grant took home $5,000 for second place. "I just didn't want to overthrow it because I know the girls, if it's light, they can sweep anything there," said Schneider. "It was just a little bit too light. I SP Photo by Greg Pender PA's Sherry Anderson won the Sun Life Classic and the $9,000 jackpot More pros added to Prairie League By Nicole Fleming of The StarPhoenix More players with pro experience will be able to ply their trade in the Prairie League of Professional Baseball next season. "WeVe increased the level of play," said league co-ordinator Dave Ferguson.

League owners hashed out details at a meeting in Bismarck, N.D. during the weekend. The rule last season stated teams could have only two players with either Triple A or major league experience. In 1996, teams will be able to have two major leaguers and two Triple A players. Also, teams must have two "pure rookies," meaning players with no pro ex-, perience.

As well, they must have two rookies with limited pro experience defined as less than 100 at bats or fewer than 50 innings pitched. In other league business, Ferguson said there will be either 10 or 12 teams in the PL next season. Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, -Brandon, Minot Bismarck, Aberdeen, Austin, and Grand Forks, N.D., could be joined by franchises in St Cloud, Minneapolis and Green Bay, Wise. Ferguson said expansion teams must be in place by Dec. 15.

A league salary cap won't be set until a schedule has been drawn up. Both topics will be discussed at the next meeting, Jan. 20, in Las Vegas. Ferguson tsaid the league will have either a 78- or 80-game schedule based on a 12-team membership. Another topic to be discussed at the Jan 20 meeting will be how to eliminate personal services contracts.

"We felt that was a problem," said Ferguson. He said some teams paid players' rent and rented cars for players over and above what they were paid in their der's doomed draw in the 10th. In semi-final action, Schneider defeated Chris More of Winnipeg 7-6, while Anderson downed Renelle Bryden of Saskatoon 10-5. More and Bryden cashed $2,700 cheques. Quarter final losers Shannon Kleibrink of Calgary and Saskatoon's Heather Howard, Kim Hodson and Sherry Scheirich each took home $1,600.

Anderson getting one in the seventh and Schneider scoring two in the eighth to take her first lead, 5-4. "I had a chance for a deuce in the seventh and just threw my first shot a little too hard and gave her a shot for a double, so I ended up having to take one," said Anderson. "It was kind of back and forth all game." Anderson drew for two in the ninth before setting up Schnei shot peeled one of Schneider's house-splitting leaving Schneider a free draw for two and a 3-3 tie. "There was a real straight spot on the away end that we hadn't seen on any of the other sheets," said Anderson. "That took us by surprise on a couple of shots, but other than that the ice was pretty good."

Earnhardt overwhelmed the field to win the season-ending NAPA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga.

The 44-year-old Earnhardt needed a miracle to keep the 24-year-old Gordon from winning the title, but The Intimidator showed that the changing of the guard is not nearly complete. Earnhardt led six times for 268 laps, including the final 59, to earn his record-tying seventh victory at Atlanta, fifth of the year and the 68th of his Winston Cup career. Retired Cale Yarbor-ough, now a car owner, also has seven Atlanta wins. "It's pretty neat to be in the company of people like Cale Yarborough, but we'll just keep on doing it for a while," said Earnhardt "We've got several years left." Earnhardt was trying to become the first driver to win eight Winston Cup titles. He and the retired Richard Petty have seven apiece.

Gordon had one of his most frustrating races of the season, struggling with handling and finishing a disappointing 32nd, 14 laps down. But it didn't matter. Gordon came into the event leading runner-up Earnhardt by 147 points and needed only to finish 41st or better in the 42-car field, or to lead at least one lap, to become the second youngest driver in NASCAR's 47-year history to win the title. The final margin was only 34 points. "I'm so excited, I don't know what to do or what to say," Gordon said.

"It wasn't a great day, but it's been a great year. I can't believe the magnitude of this sport I never thought it would ever happen to me." Only Bill Rexford, who was 23-years, 229-days old when he won the championship in 1950, was younger than Gordon's 24 years, lOOdays. Damon Hill took the lead with just a quarter of the race completed and surged away to win the Australian Formula One Grand Prix by two laps. Only eight cars still were running at the end. With his 13th win, Hill moved within one of the total compiled by his late father Graham Hill, a two-time world champion.
