(cP) — Jerome Drayton might be the No. 1 marathon runner in the world today, but he jetests the gruelling distances involved. He’d much prefer gearing his competitive running to the shorter 10,000-and event §,000-metre distances, but admits “it's not practical any more,’ “T can’t afford the tirhe it wouid take to excel at these distances,’ said Drayton, a 31-year-old provincial civil servant. ‘'So the only thing for me to do is try to develop: some affection for the marathon. “lm not sure I can, though. The marathon is ly hard to love.” Drayton has won the last two races over the marathon distance of 26 miles, 385 yards of any consequence—the Boston marathon last month and the Fukuoka in Japan last Dece . Aside trom, his. disappointing sixth-place showing in the Olympic marathon at Montreal last duly, he’s won three of the last five major marathon races. “I try to avoid marathons like a bad disease, but because it’s my best event, I have to do a couple a year to confirm m training methods,” claims Drayton, who didn’t start running competitively until he was in high school and only by chance after accepting a challenge to run two miles which he won. ‘Asked what he dislikes most about marathon running, he chuckles and replies: ‘What is there to 2?" ' “To describe the agony of the marathon to somebody who's never run it is like trying to explain color to a son who was born color lind. It’s simply im- possible. " “I would suppose almost everybody has experienced to some degree what you _feel in ‘an event like the §,000. There’s the burning inside and the stiffness. But you get over it fairly quickly. A hot bath takes away the stiffness. “In the marathon, it’s all infinitely more. acute. Everything suffers, even your internal organs. You're pain all through the last six miles and for days af- terwards. Every atom of you aches. You're one big ache. It's torture...” Drayton, meanwhile, is gearing his training for 10,000 metres, as are his main U.S. rivals, Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers. He expects to face them at the U.S. championships in California next month and in Chicago on July 4. But his main target is a spot on the first WQORLD up track meet at Duesseldorf, West Ger- many, in September, and the only way a Canadian can qualify as a member of the team— one person per event—representing the Americas. Canadians get one break though. U.S. athletes aren't included on the America'f team. They get separate representation, as do the Soviet Union and East Germans because of their Olympic placings. So what's involved for Drayton is coming first over 10,000., metres. at the Americas World Cup trials in Guadalajara, Mexico. ‘Because of the scheduling, Drayton is not con- templating the marathon as well but says he’ll go for the double at the Com- monwealth Games in Ed- monton next year.

The 25-year-old driver from Berthierville, Que., won nine of 10 races, in- cluding four in the U.S5., to make a shambles of the Canadian driving cham- pionships.

"Burnett was flying to Monaco from California via New York, Paris and Marseille, a trip involving at least 15 hours in the air to: meet the undefeated Ar- ‘gentine who Conteh refused ae WBC’s action came after the Englishman brought suitin London to try to block the bout, saying he had signed the contract ‘‘at pistol point.” When Conteh refused to appear in Monte Carlo, the boxing governing board warned him and then stripped him of his title. Rudolfo Sabbatini, the promoter of the cham- pionship bout, showed reporters a photocopy of a contract earing the signature “J. Conteh” and said: "Y don’t understand what’s come over him. I don’t think there’s any simple explanation. Maybe it’s something involving his health or perhaps a fear of being brutally beaten. There’s no reasonable ex- planation for him to have turned down this kind of payday.” Conteh’s contract called for him to get $193,750, In London, Conteh said: “T am still the champ. I am the man the people come to see, All along it was my choice to fight here in Britain. 1 am the champion. I shall fight where I like. I. wanted to fight in this country for the British ‘ans,”’ . . He compared himself with a hockey player who scores 60 goals one season. they expect him to go out and score 70 goals the next year.” Despite the monetary attraction to lure highty- regarded Formula ‘1 drivers to the circuits, Villeneuve still expects his chief rival, will be veteran Toronto driver Bill Brack, a three time winner (1973-74-75) of the Canadian driving title. NO HORSEPLAY WITH ILLNESS: BALTIMORE (AP) — Cormorant might not be able to handle Seattle Slew in Saturday's running of the Preakness, but so far he has had more trouble with in- jury and illness than he has had with the opposition. Cormorant bolted in his first race last year and ‘finished seventh. He then won seven races in a row until finishing second to ~ Jongshot Jron Constitution in last Saturday's Withers. “When he was challenged in the stretch, he was a litle . bit tired,’ trainer Jim Simpson said Wednesday of Cormorant's Withers performans«. “But he dn’t raced in 35 days and he only had three workouts in 35 days,” Cormorant, owned by Charles Berry Jr. of Up- perville, Va., had won the Iroquois Handicap at Garden State and the Bay Shore and Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct in his first three races this year and was headed for the Blue Grass Stakes as a final Kentucky Derby prep. But about 12 days before the Blue Grass, he developed a temperature which kept him from going to Kentucky. It wasn't the first time Cormorant missed a race because of physical problems, After his opening defeat, he won four con- secutive races in 1976, in- cluding a victory over Royal Ski in the Marlboro Nursery at Bowie. But he missed the Laurel Futurity last fall because of shin problems, then missed the Allegheny Stakes at Keystone because of a nose injury. His vietory in the Iroquois in his threeyear-old . debut was his first race in five months. Now he's physically fit again and, Simpson hopes, ready for the $150,000- added, 1 3-16-mile Preakness. Cormorant will be ridden by Danny Wright, Meanwhile, Jean Cruguet, who is scheduled to ride fa- vored, Seattle Slew in the Preakness, was to find opt today whether Aqueduct stewards will suspend him for his ride in the sixth race there Wednesday.

Quebec was least affected in the first period as they charged into the Winnipeg the Jets with good checking and hitting. . That led to their first goal at 2:08 of the period. Bob Fichener checked defen- ceman Lars Sjoberg off the puck in the corner and passed it into the Winnipeg goal crease. Brackenbury collided with Winnipeg oalie Joe Daley and wit im down Brackenbury had | no trouble sliding the puck into the net. There were few other good scoring chances in the eriod but when rackenbury took a holding penalty early in the second Winnipeg tied the score. Quebec goalie Richard Brodeur got a piece of Lindstrom’s 35-foot slapshot but not enough to keep it out of the net at 4:42. The Lindstrom- Labraaten-Peter Sullivan line was easily the most effective and they provided the Jets second goal at 13:16. Lindstrom in- tercepted Chris Bordeleau's pass at centre ice and fed a quick pass to Labraaten. He sped around defenceman Paul Baxter, swept across the front of the net and put the puck into the top corner. Mare Tardif went off in the final minute of the second period and with him still in the penalty box in the third, Hedberg got his first goal of the series and 11th of the playoffs. He took a pass from Mike Ford, burst around defenceman Wally Weir and rifled a low shot into the opposite corner of the goal. Combined with his 70 regular season goals, Hedberg now has arecord 61 goals for the year, one more than the previous pro- fessional record set last year by Reg Leach of Philadelphia Flyers of the National League. Nilsson got his fourth goal of the playoffs at 6:16 the third period when he stole the puck off Weir about 16 feet in front of Brodeur and beat.the Quebec goalie with. a slapshot.

Fidrych, the Detroit Tigers’ rookie sensation of 1976, Lacey doesn’t kneel on the mound to smooth the-dirt. And he doesn’t talk to the ball. But Lacey, Oakland's six- footfive, 190-pound newcomer does a-few things which set him apart from your average rookie pit- cher—like taunting Reggie Jackson after striking out the former A’s slugger to the delight of the 32,409 fans who cheered Oakland home to an #4 American League vic- tory over New York Yankees Monday night. “He hollered at me and made some. gestures, too,” said Jackson, charging Lacey with bushleague action although admitting the 23-year-old left-hander threw major-league pitches MODEL starter in fanning him twice in two tries, Lacey, somewhat apologetic after earning his first bigleague victory, explained: “T was emotionally up.,I. ,might have said something derogatory.
