Through the B.C.Library Reading Commission taped books were supplied to our library and I was very thankful for this. Then through the Canadian Bible Society I recieved the New Testment on tapes also. We give thanks for this material.

Yawkey, who died in July of 1976 after owning the Sox for 43 years. LaCour declined to disclose any figure in the sale. Negotiations to complete the sale are anticipated to allow a final closing on Oct. 31. LaCour said that American. League president Lee MacPhail had been advised of the agreement.

Ali wins on points NEW YORK (AP) — Muhammad Ali, looking at times like the dancing master of old and at other times a weary. old cham- pion, used left jabs and left ks to pound out a unani- mous 15-round decision over Earnie Shavers and retain the world heavyweight championship Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. Ali was showing every one of his 35 years at the end, but also showed his tremendous courage when, after being sent across the ring by a smashing right in the final round, he came back with a flurry of head punches that almost put avers down. It was a fantastic ending to a fight that had its d moments and it again un- derlined the vast experience fant Ali carries into any The fight was close through the first six rounds and then Ali, who hardt ever missed with his left Sox to BOSTON, (AP) can League slugging leader Jim Rice drove in four runs with his 39th homer and a sacrifice fly Thursday, leading Boston Red Sox to a 7-3 victory over Toronto Blue Jays. The victory kept the Red Sox mathematically alive in basebali’s AL East race. New York Yankees, who clinched at least a tie for the division crown Wednesday night, had another night game. with Cleveland scheduled Thursday. Rice rallied the Red Sox from 4 2-0 deficit by belting ahomer after Rick Burleson had singled and Ted Cox doubled to start the Boston fourth. Rice’s homer to the right of the 379-foot mark in left-centre gave him 376 total bases for the year, the most by an American League slugger since Mickey Mantle had the same number in 1956. The blast off Toronto starter Jerry Garvin, 10-18, enabled Rice to boost his league lead in homers. It also marked his 202nd hit. ‘roronto rallied.to tie the score 3-3 in the fifth, but the Red Sox came right back for two deciding runs. Butch Name jabs, especially when he chose to stick and move, took control in the seventh round. Judges Eva Shain and Tony Castellano each had it. nine rounds to six for Ali, while referee Johnny LoBianco saw it 9-5-1 for the champion. The Associated Press had it 10-5 for Ali. The pattern of the fight was one of Shavers stalking and looking to throw the bi, right hand that had enabl him to knock out 52 of his first 60 opponents, while Ali looked for ways to nullify the challenger’s power. Ali was far more suc- cessful, often keeping Shavers too busy to punch by snappi home jabs, hooks and flurries of pun- ches with both hands to the head. Ali sometimea brought cheers of admiration with his floating like a butterfly, stinging ike a bee—which seemed to be mostly a memory to him now. But at cling life Hobson doubled and -Steve Dillard sacrificed. Burleson walked and rookie Cox drove in Hobson with the second of his three hits. Rice followed with a sacrifice fly scoring Burleson. The victory went to Bob Stanley, 8&7, who relieved starter Mike Paxton with the bases loaded and two out in the fifth after Toronto had tied the score. — Stanley faced only 13 batters after replacing Paxton.. The yo right- hander walked two but both runners were wiped out in double plays. Cox led the Red Sox witha double and two singles. Carlton Fisk chipped in with two singles. The Red Sox added two insurance runs ‘shelling Garvin in the eighth. Cox led off with a single and, after Rice flied out, Rick Miller got a po double to shallow righ > centre. Fisk grounded a Single to left, and Jerry Johnson replaced Johnson. Johnson walked George Scott and Fred Lynn, for- cing in Boston’s seventh run.

And he did. Ali, who weighed 225 to 211% for the 33-year-old Shavers, landed a flurry of a dozen punches to the head in the seventh round and stole the eighth round with another flurry of head punches with a minute left. He also came out on top in _ the ninth with a late flurry, then had his best round to that point in the 10th. In the 10th, the cham came out dancing an Janded several jabs and six toeight good left hooks after that. A solid hook shook Shavers at the midpoint and Ali backed him up at least twice with solid com- binations to the head. It seemed as though The Acom, as Ali dubbed the challenger, might run out of gas and not finish. Shavers never had gone beyond 10 rounds and had been on the point of exhaustion in the 10th in winning two fights last year. But although Ali had claimed. “Acorns fall in September,” Shavers would not quit. After Ali had the best of the Ith and 12th rounds, Shavers began a rally. With 40 seconds left in the 13th round, he caught Ali flush with a right hand to the face and again the cham- pion showed why he takes a punch as well as any vyweight in history. Then, in the 14th, Shavers, keeping the pressure on, wa. through Ali’s jabs and pounded a smashing —. et right to the jaw with 30 seconds to go, then sent Ali reeling into the ropes with another blasting right 15 seconds later. Itset up the finish that had a Garden crowd of 14,613 roaring throughout the final three minutes. Shavers, very tired but - seemingly aware that he was losing, went all out. He landed a good right early and another solid right wit 1:45 left in the 15th round, Then, after Ali flurried to the head, Shavers shat home a good right and a hook. Ali also was dead-tired, but not about to let Shavers take control, == With the clock ticking off the final minute, Ali landed a halfdozen punches to the head, being especially ef- fectiuve with the left hook, and Shavers appeared ready to topple. Suddenly the challenger whipped home a right to the jaw that’ backed Ali off, the champion's eyes glazing. Shavers stumbled after him— but Ali came back with about a dozen unan- swered head punches that almost’ put Shavers away. The bell rang, however, and saved him. Tt was Ali’s 18th suc- cessful title defence, for which he got $3 million. He ended up earning every penny. Shavers got $300,-000 and the satisfaction of at least proving to his detractors that he could take a punch—although Ali’s right hand isn’t much any more—and thathe could last the distance. ; Ali, who now has won 21 of 22 championship fights, has a 55-2 record. vers, who finally got his big chance after fighting as a pro for nine years, now has & 54-6-1 record, = Ave. <> —— IVER _ TRACTOR THE HERALD, Friday, September 3, 1977, PAGE 5 Star slugger can’t forget the bad days bonifide candidate for the most valuable player award by carrying New York Yankees into the American League baseball playoffs. Yet Kackson is sim- mering, instead of smiling, because of his earlier treatment by the fans. The Yankees won 40 of their last 50 games to charge to the top of the American League East Division. Over that stretch Jackson, who was iriserted in the cleanup spot at the start of the streak, has hit 13 home runs and has driven in 49 runs. The fans, who used him as a whipping boy when the Yanks were struggling, have been won aver to his side. They cheer him con- stantly. Jt remains to be seen, however, whether Jackson can be won over to them. EARNED THE CHEERS “T earned those cheers,’ he said following Wed- nesday night’s grand-slam home run that keyed the victory which clinched a tie for the division title. “I earned them with all those boos.” Jackson, the highest riced player in last win- r’s freeagent market when he signed a $2.9 million contract, called his season in New York ‘fa tough year,” . “This is a tough town. This is man’s country. This is no place for a boy. A boy woul run off and hide ere,"” Jackson said the pressure aced upon him may have n responsible in part for his 32 home runs and 100 runs batted in. But Jackson meyer an- ticipated the close scrutiny his performance received in New York. He has been under a microscope from the firat day with the Yan- | ees, “TE I'd known it was goin to be like this,” he said, “ wouldn't wanted to have been here.” The division title hardl satisfied Jackson. “My job isn’t done yet,” he said. “We are one-third of . the way there. I've got to. come back and work some more tomorrow.” ; McCOLL REAL ESTATE SERVICES A.J.
