OVER SPORTS POOL

Kuehn sues Canada

AMERICAN

BASEBALL commissioner Bowie

Kuehn has taken his fight against the planned
federal sports pool to the courts.

Kuehn filed suit in
Quebec Superior Court
Wednesday seeking an in-
junction against the sports
pool.

The federal
has proposed mounting the

government

national sports pool, which
would require participants to
pick the winners in a series
of sporting events to win
cash prizes, in attempts to
raise money for the 1988
Calgary Winter Olympics
and to get around an

agreement signed by the
provinces and the former
Conservative government of
Joe Clark that gives control
over lotteries to the
provinces.

Kuehn is fighting the lot-
tery on the grounds that it
would damage the image of
baseball, one of the sports
that would be used, by
opening the game to

gambling.

Ironically, the baseball
com: ussioner’s office was
first set up in the 1920s after
the sport was rocked by a
series of betting scandals.

Kuehn, in launching the
suit, also said the federal
government’s sports pool
plans might have an adverse
affect on Vancouver’s bid
for a major league franchise.

cent of th polled who
expressed a party preference.
Most of that gain was at
the expense of the Liberals

32 per cent but the federal
NDP continued their slide,
losing two points to fall to
11 per cent.

Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau’s announcement
that he will resign but before

party popularity had been
expected .
