Man sues
over shoes

BOULDER, Colo. (UPI) - A

pain and suffering is suing
the store that sold him the
athletic shoes.

ligaments in his ankle while
playing volleyball in the

were advertised as all-round
athletic shoes, but actually
are suitable only for running.

Krell’s suit asks for
$200,000 as compensation
for his pain and suffering:
$500,000 in permanent
damage; $5,000 for tem-
porary total disability, and
$1,000 for his medical bills.

matches begin at 8 p.m. on

Friday evening with
Saturday's singles and
doubles semi-finals

beginning at 1 p.m. The
finals will commence at 1
p.m. on Sunday September

N.S. cricket club takes
easy victory over Caribe team

Last Saturday, North
Shore Cricket Club's First XI
comfortably defeated Caribe
I by four wickets with Gary
Collins, bowling for North
Shore, dismissing both of
Caribe’s opening batsmen
with only two runs scored.

Bruce Browne (16) and
Errol Trotman (13) who
replaced them were the only
batsmen to reach double
figures.

Vas Gunaratna took three
wickets for 26 runs and Jim
Norfolk dispatched the last
three Caribe batsmen for no
runs at all. They were all out
for 51.

North Shore’s opening
batsmen began well and
scored 28 before they lost
their first wicket. Two runs
later John Williams was run
out at 18. Norfolk added 14
but then the middle order
batsmen collapsed.
However, Collins and Amba
Sharma held their ground
and went on to score the
winning runs.

The Second XI _ were
defeated by visiting Seattle

They, and everyone in
every walk of hfe who puts
out the big effort, deserve
applause for their work,
their effort, and their will to
succeed.

That kind of team. or
individual, will always be a
winner regardless of what
the scoreboard says

Another group of winners
was active this past weekend
in the lower mainiand. Track
and Field championships for
the blind and amputees were

held with hardly a whisper
from the media.

Sure. we can rationalize
and justify why these events
did not receive much in the
way of coverage, but when
you look at the courage of
these men and women, it
does make one wonder if
maybe we're missing the
boat somewhere on what we
consider important news.

These athletes have
overcome some pretty heavy
handicaps to stand where
they are today. What they
have done requires ability
and hard work certainly But
i also takes a degree of
courage that most of us have
difficulty in understanding

winners.
