Sports Spotlight \ \t.�� t, 1:1.,•1 A breath of fresh air Steve Baucr's fourth place finish in thc Tour de France could have a hig impact on cycling in Canada. Now that the sport has been given a little ink in North America and Bauer has given a little credibility to Canadians on wheels, we may sec cycling get the attention it de- serves. When first place Pedro Delgaldo rode down the Champs Elysees aritidtit thousands of cheering Spaniards, i couldn't help thinking that the Tour de France has maintained many of the charms that other sports have lost. It has the elements of an epic journey, much likc the first automo- bile road races must have had. And while equipment is high-tech and expensive, it is also simple. It is the person on thc bike which makes the difference in the end. Money doesn't seem to have blown cycling out of proportion ei- ther. Though the big bucks arc put forward by sponsors, the crass commercialism which often overshadows North American sports doesn't seem to be there. The money is definitely there though. Bauer may stand to corn well . over the S100,000 mark with endorsements in the next year, but that sum seems modest in a world where many football and basctpll players arc paid in the millions. \ , Sonic would arguc that Delgado's positive drug test tarnished the entire race as well as Baucr's fourth place finish. But in today's sports world, drugs arc a problem common to all levels of competition. Delgado was caught with probcnicid in his system -- a drug used to cover up traces of anabolic steriods. Probcnicid is not on the Interna- tional Cycling Union's list of banned drugs, but it has been banned by thc international Olympic Committee. The fact that Delgado was using the drug points logically to thc assumption that he was trying to hide something. in other words, he got off on a technicality. But that's not a hig problem. Delgado will now ride under a cloud of suspicion: Bauer, with a clear conscience, will have another shot at the Tour do France next year. And there's something to be said for a clear conscience. Accidents do happen There is nothing more frustrating than spending an afternoon tak- ing photographs only to have them destroyed in the inner rcachcs of the darkroom. it's bad for the person who took the shots and it's bad for the people in the shots. - 1 must say it doesn't happen very often. in fact, usually when my pictures don't turn out, it's my fault and not that of the dark room technician. But accidents 'do happen. This week, it happened to Deb Lord. Deb quite often helps me out in the Crediton arca. Shc keeps mc•posted about coming events in that arca and takes -the odd photo for the T -A. While trying.to save my bacon on the weekend by taking pictures at a Crcditon slo-pitch tourney, she got skunked. Her pictures were ruined in the processing stage and so, we are left picturcicss. Here's what you would have seen if things had gonc right: Zurich Cobras, the A champs of the Crcditon Men's Slo-pitch Tourncy, broke a 12-12 tic with Shipka Rookies in the last inning to win thc championship by one run, Imagine two neatly formed lines of ball players decked out in uniforms. Two players in the front row arc holding a pair of .crossed bats. Now imagine you see Clare Masse (coach), Rick Masse, Mike Clarke, Mike Masse, David Regier, Rob Lenting, Scott Regier, Dwayne Laporte, Gerard Masse, Kevin Masse, Jack Bender, Joe Groot, Don Beauchamp, Jerry Burtch and John Blanchard.
