Sports
from the stands
By Frons M®rejko
Athlete overpaid
Since it's income tax time, everybody is
carefully looking over their T-4 slips to see
how much, or how little, they made over the
past year. After examining mine carefully, I
picked up the Toronto Star only to see a
story about a relief pitcher who will make $7
million for the next five years, and that's in
U.S. funds.
Bill Caudill, formerly with the Oakland
A's, will be receiving $11.,867 a game with
the Toronto Blue .Jays baseball team. This
amount of money will be paid to Mr. Candill
whether he plays, just warms -up or sits out
the entire game.
What this means to the Blue Jays is that
they must make $13,054 each game just to
pay his salary. To date, Mr. Caudill is the
highest paid athlete in Toronto's sports
history and the second highest paid relief
pitcher in baseball.
And of course, money isn't all that he will
be getting. On road trips he will get a room
to himself and he's also been given the
rights to the Blue.. Jay logo. Gary Carter,
formerly of the Montreal Expos, had the
same arrangement but this is unique for the
Blue Jay organization.
Imagine being 27 -years -old and knowing
that you're set for life. I certainly can't
blame the man for taking the money, but I
don't think he, or any other athlete for that
matter, is worth that amount.
The veteran Toronto Maple Leaf
defenceman, Borje Salrning, is snaking
$350,000 a year. Compared to some of to-
day's "superstars" contracts, that's not a
lot, but !Compare it to the yearly wage of so-
meone who spent years in university study-
ing to be a doctor or dentist.
I'm not taking anything away from
athletes. They display a lot of discipline
keeping in tip-top condition, but the amount
of money they have to put out to get there
isn't the same as paying tuition, rent or buy-
ing books for five or six years.
Some say that the logic behind awarding
an athlete a tremendous contract is because
of their career being short. They play
mediocre until they get the feel of a league.
When they hit their peak they get offered the
big bucks, then not too far down the road
they are past their prime, unless they're a
Gordie Howe.
I understand this type of thinking to a
point, but it still doesn't seem right that they
should make that great a wage. But then
again, sporting events are a great source of
entertainment, and as long as people will
pay to see a winning team, the athletes who
show exceptional talent will continue to rake
in the money.

ton Atoms r^n into a stubborn Goderich
defence as they were downed by a 6-3 score.
Clinton grabbed an early 1-0 lead on a goal
by Shawn Chipchase as he . was set up
beautifully by a long lead pass from Gerri
Cappelli at the 3:41 mark. Before the first
period had ended Jared Whalen tied the
score for Goderich.
The second period belonged to Goderich
as they scored four unanswered goals to
take a commanding 5-1 lead into the last
stanza.
Clinton showed a bit of spark early in the
third period as Shawn Chipchase scored his
second goal of the game at 2:29. Scott
Rathwell set up the goal by carrying the
puck into the corner and sending his pass
right out in front of the goal to the unattencfr
ed Chipchase who easily tucked it into the
ernpty corner of the goal. Gerri Cappelli,
who played a fine two-way game for Clinton,
narrowed the Goderich lead to 5-3 as he took
a drop pass from Scott Rathwell and drilled
•it into the net at 10:34. But 21 seconds later,
Goderich got the goal back and held Clinton
at bay the rest of the way.

chell net and jammed home the puck
between the post and the goaltenders' skate.
