to Talent Squad meanschance By HELEN MASON Twentysix riders have qualified to compete for four ber ths on the 1980 Olympic Talent Squad Many of the eligible riders are successful junior or former junior competitors who represented Canada at International competitions here in the United States Cuba and Europe Canadas hopefuls will be competing in the CocaCola cen tral final at the Hornby Horse

to expect fairly high course Amateur horse buffs seldom realize course designing is an art Designers have to plan their courses with consideration for the length of the horses stride good course tests the horses manoeuvrability as well as his jumping prowess August is date Mike Gart ner has been waiting short lifetime for the ninth is the day that the National Hockey League holds its draft and Gartner is regarded as one of the top player prospects Gartner is not rookie to pro fessional hockey but he is rookie to the NHL Last season Mike played for the Cinncinnati Stingers of the now defunct World Hockey Association He By ATIIY HEATHER Of The Examiner had one year contract with four year option When the Stingers folded the contract became just the one season and the four years were nullified Cinncinnati has no binds on Gartner he is free to play anywhere Ive always dreamed of playing in the NHL said Gart ner resident of Utopia Im really looking forward to it According to reports Gartner is expected to be one of the top five players picked in the draft He feels that playing with Cincinnati helped put him high on the list of eligible underage players Playing in the WHA helpe me 100 per cent said Gartner It was good competition and scouting Detroit Washington or Van couver would like to play for Detroit or Washington theyre both good young teams said Gartner Gartner reveals he would love to play for Toronto Maple Leafs but that is unlikely they only have ninth choice in thedraft The new Leaf coach Floyd Smith was my coach in Cincin nati last year said Gartner really thought he was good coach and liked his style he coaches an exciting offensive game It would be great to be able to play in Toronto for him When Gartner played with the Niagara Flyers he was the examiner Wodnosday August 1979 17A Gartners day for NHL fast approaching paid only small sum on weekly basis His financial situation improved greatly while playing for Cinncinnati Gartner expects his NHL con tract wont be for as much as his WHA deal but money wont be any problem With the WHA gone players have lost certain amount of their bargaining power said Gartner All the NHL players negotiating contracts will be afA fected by this not just the draft picks But Im not worried about money Gartner had relatively good year with Cincinnati last season He had good first half scoring 19 goals by Christmas Injuries hampered him for much of the latter half of the schedule but the right winger still managed to score 27 goals and pick up30 assists Originally scheduled for June 10 the junior draft was postponed until Aug Gartner has been in limbo during the summer waiting until he knows where hell be going Ive started doing some training recently Gartner said Im doing some running some calistlienics and some weighttraining But Ive also been playing lot of tennis and golf Although unsure of what team he is headed for Gartner says he will be giving 110 per cent in training camp trying to make the NHL and make dream come true good money It gave me good year of experience behind me and Im hopeful that with the experience and some con fidence can have good train ing camp and make the NHL team that that drafts me Since Gartner is expected to be drafted in the first five picks he will probably end up with either Colorado St Louis Schmidt reaching for record PHILADELPHIA AP Mike Schmidt is well aware that major league baseballs singleseason homerun record is within reach Id be lying to you if said didnt think about it once in while the Philadelphia Phillies third baseman says The major league homerun record of 61 was set by out fielder Roger Maris of New York Yankees in 1961 Schmidt National League allstar had 36 and Kingman 35 going into the Cubs game here Tuesday night At com parable point in the 1961 season Maris had hit 40 Maris never again came close to his recordsetting 61c and gradually drifted out of base ball Schmidt 29 has hit in 19 of his last 21
