Biancalana's two spoits sound off LaFontaine's choice Pat LaFontaine, the No. 1 draft choice of the New York Islanders, has decided to forego the NHL to play for the U.S. Olympic hockey team. Did he make the right decision? No, 25 percent If he breaks his leg, all that money is gone.

How would he like It If somebody postponed him? Yes, 75 percent The chance to play In the Olympics is a once-ln-a-llfetlme opportunity. At least he could say, "I did It my way." It shows he has class and character. He probably wouldn't have gotten too much Ice time with the Islanders this season and this will give him more of a chance to develop.

Carlos Heazllt loved football, so much so that he willed most of his estate estimated at $60,000 to $100,000 to the Cadillac High School football team.

Heazlit's donation was revealed this week when his will was read in Wexford County Probate Court. The money will set up a trust to finance equipment, uniforms and scholarships for the Vikings, plus an annual trip to a Michigan State game at East Lansing. "Carlos was a very colorful character," attorney Donald Bacon said. "I say that in total respect. It's no secret how much Carlos loved football.

And this was, no doubt, one of the most interesting wills that I ever helped draft. But that's the way Carlos was, too. He was interesting." Harry Mangurian says he expects to sell the Boston Celtics within two weeks, but not to the person who had bid for the team earlier. "This is a new name," Mangurian said. "It hasn't been mentioned in any of the stories that I know about.

This is a very, very solid person, a man I think will be a good owner for this team. We're very close to making a deal." Boston businessman Steve Belkin backed out of a bid last week after publicity over the gambling connections of one of his former business partners. He had a change of heart after an NBA investigation cleared him of any wrongdoing. Steve Ovett will not be allowed to substitute for the ailing Sebastian Coe in the World Track and Field Championships, which start Sunday in Helsinki, Finland. Coe was to have run the 1,500 meters, but he is hospitalized with a glandular illness.

British team officials sought to substitute Ovett, already entered in the 800 meters.

It was only his second start of the year, but Paige Frazier. He got his wish Thursday at Frazier's gym in north Philly. They hit it off immediately.

Frazier gave Burton a robe and gloves and they threw a few playful punches at each other. "I think he's the most powerful fighter that I've ever seen, including all the men he's ever fought," Burton said. The admiration was mutual. Frazier said he was "flabbergasted" and pleased to meet the actor. Burton does some verbal sparring with Taylor" nightly in a scene that culminates in Taylor's breaking a vase over Burton's head.

The scar resulted one night when the prop failed to break properly. I Willie Wilson of the Kansas City Royals has been sued by a Milwaukee woman who says he punched her in the face at a hotel after a game, against the Brewers Wednesday. Tyronzia Russell, a music student and freelance model, filed the suit against the outfielder Thursday, seeking $10,000 damages. She told the Milwaukee Sentinel she had spent Monday and Tuesday night with Wilson at the hotel and slapped him when he returned to his room early Thursday morning with another woman. "I swung at him to slap his face," she said.

So, just before the opening of the Bears training camp almost a month ago, Evans asked to be traded. Nothing has happened. "They (the other teams) haven't exactly been beating down the doors trying to make a deal," Evans admitted. "The Bears said they would try to accommodate me but they also said that they didn't intend to give me away." DALLAS: Quarterback Danny White will play two quarters Saturday night against Miami, but coach Tom Landry said he's not sure which two they will be.

Former Central Michigan quarterback Gary Hogeboom will play at least one quarter and Glenn Carano would get whatever time remains, Landry said. "It depends a lot on what we do with the rest of the personnel, how we split them up, how they play," the coach said Running back Tony Dorset! was accused of failing to pay three percent commission allegedly owed to an agent for negotiating a contract.

HOUSTON: Defensive end Jesse Baker ended an 18-day holdout and signed a series of one-year contracts. The Oilers counted on Baker to start ahead of Elvln Bethea this season.

Bethea started for the Oilers Thursday night when they opened the exhibition season with a 15-0 loss to the Baltimore Colts in the Astrodome.

ft -TV i 1 Louie Dennocenzo, motioning toward the new flag snapping in the breeze from the freshly painted pole beyond center field. Flags suitable for flying at the ballpark are not easy to come by in Felch, Dennocenzo says. But he remembered that such a flag covered the casket of Russell Dixon, a veteran who died last spring. Dennocenzo called Dixon's widow, explained the problem and came up with a new flag for the ballpark. "He was a baseball fan," Dennocenzo says.

"He never missed a game." Hiller, who recently became constable in Felch, says he fell in love with the rugged countryside and the informality of its people. Wedding invitations are hand-written notes tacked up in the general store and in Solberg's. Whatever the occasion, everyone in town is invited. "You don't show a badge around a place like this," the new constable says. "People solve their own problems.

You don't go running to the law." The weekly ball games, the parties and dances and tending the livestock on his 12-acre farm fill up Hiller's schedule. The constable's job doesn't keep him busy. His chief duty is to check every liquor license in the township at least once a year. There is only one liquor license and Solberg has it. It has been in the family since the mid-1890s, with the exception of Prohibi-.

tion, Solberg says. LIVING IN Felch has helped Hiller adjust to being retired, and he says he would like to share his good fortune with Mark Fidrych, the former Tiger righthander who retired this summer. "The adjustment was hard, but I made the decision (to retire) myself," says Hiller, who wants Fidrych to play in the Felch tournament this Labor Day. "As hard as he's tried to make a comeback it's gotta be hard." FELCH (AP) Three years after hanging up his Tiger uniform for the last time, former relief pitcher John Hiller says he has settled into a ball player's paradise. "I've made more good friends here than I have in the rest of my life," says Hiller, a left-hander who wound up his 13-year career with the Tigers in June 1980 with 1 16 saves and a lifetime ERA of 2.63.

"They work hard, they party hard." And they love baseball in the Upper Peninsula. The turnout at Felch Memorial Field on a Sunday afternoon for a late-July doubleheader between the hometown Rangers and the Escanaba Bears was about 200. That's not bad, considering there are only about 150 people in Felch. Hiller, 40, who made a dramatic comeback in his major league career after suffering a heart attack, warms up in the bullpen while his oldest daughter, Wendy, 16, heats up a couple of pots of hot dogs in the concession stand. "It's just for fun," says bar owner and team manager Dewey Solberg as he leans on an aging wooden fance and watches Hiller work on his curve-ball.

"During the week, it's hard to get everybody together." Hiller found Felch when he accepted an invitation to pitch in the Upper Peninsula Hardball Championship tournament last Labor Day weekend. Despite the town's size, the team manages to come up with the $5,000 needed every year for uniforms, equipment, travel, care of the field and to pay for the platter of steak sandwiches and quarter barrel of beer downed at Solberg's after all home games. THERE IS NO movie theater or bowling alley in Felch, only the ball field and Solberg's. What the team can't raise by charging $1 at the gate, the townspeople donate to maintain their only form of local entertainment. "They had an old tattered flag up there," says condition for the USFL's granting a Houston franchise to Argovitz.

A hearing on the suit is expected in about 10 days. SEATTLE: Everyone at training camp Is predicting greatness jor rookie running back Curt Warner. "From what I've seen on the practice field, he has all the talent and all the tools," says guard Reggie McKenzle. "I think he's going to be a big-play back. He can get Into the hole, move laterally, then move 100 m.p.h.

into another hole. He can do some great things," says running back Dan Door- nlnk. "I'm a fan of running backs and Curt has that wiggle, that little something that great runners have," says O.J. Simpson. AP Photo Former Tiger reliever John Hiller now throws for his local team, the Felch Rangers.

"(Retirement's) tough in a lot of ways," Hiller says. "First you lose that big salary, then you lose that recognition." THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE HONDA GENERATORS El way has dynamic pro start oft HONDA CITY 26355 MICHIGAN AVE. (One Mile West Of Telegraph) 563-3366 Sutton sets PGA record DENVER (AP) Rookie quarterback John Elway completed five of six passes in engineering a touchdown drive on his first professional and the Denver Broncos defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 10-7, Friday night in the NFL pre-season opener for both" teams. i Elway, the passing sensation who was the first player chosen in the NFL draft last spring, electrified a partisan crowd upon entering the game at the start of the second half. After a Denver holding penalty, Elway completed three straight short passes, then hit Steve Watson on a 38-yarder and rifled a 16-yarder to Rick Upchurch, setting up Sammy Winder's two-yard scoring run with 8:38 left in the third quarter.

It proved to be the clinching score. Seattle threatened on three subsequent occasions, but was stymied by a missed field goal and crucial quarterback sacks. Denver took a 3-0 lead in the opening quarter on Rich Karlis' 48-yard field goal, but the Seahawks rallied to take a 7-3 lead at the half. Kerry Justin's interception set up a four-yard TD run by rookie Curt Warner. "I WANTED to play aggressively, make some birdies," he said.

"That start, an eagle putt that could have fallen and a chip-in got me off and running." He bogeyed the third, missing the green, but dropped 8- to 10-footers for birdies on the fifth and sixth. Sutton wedged to three feet and made that birdie putt on the eighth. IPGA, from Page 1D "I flew him into Shreveport (La.) last week and worked with him," Sutton said. "I was blocking it out to the right. That's what happened when I got in the heat at the Anheuser-Busch.

I started hitting every- 'thing to the right. "He worked with me, and I think I'm hitting it as now as I ever have. We just made some very productive changes in my game." Sutton is making his first start since blowing a six- stroke lead in the final round of the Anheuser-Busch in Williamsburg, Va. He referred to that when he was asked about the security of a three-stroke lead at the halfway point of the PGA. "Nothing is ever secure in this game.

I can tell you that. And, believe me, I'm speaking from experience. "I can't do anything about anybody else. The only person I can control is me. And that's what I'm going to try to do from here on in." Sutton, who already has set money-winning records for both first-and second-year players, held a one-shot lead at the start of the day's play and quickly "expanded it.

He lipped out a 30-foot eagle putt on the first hole, tapped in for birdie and chipped in from 40 feet on the mPLi) JAl'JA Rodriguez retains European title NIMES, France (UPI) Lucien Rodriguez of France easily re-tained his European heavyweight boxing title Friday when challenger Albert Syben of Belgium retired at the beginning of the eighth round of their scheduled 12-round bout.
