He is Geoff Smith, a former firefighter from Liverpool, England, who won the Boston Marathon in 1984 and 1985 while representing Britain. Smith, who has been living in the New England area since 1980, when he enrolled at Providence College, became a U JS. citizen last year. His compatriot, so to speak, is Ed Eyestone, a member of the 1988 VS. Olympic marathon team mara-thonand the nation's in 1990. Neither Smith nor Eyestone, a BYU graduate who lived in Orem until recently, is given much of a chance of winning against an imposing field that includes 1988 Boston winner Ibrahim Hussein of Kenya, 1989 Boston champion Abebe Mekonnen of Ethiopia, top-rank- Milwaukee's Jim Gantuer gees high for a throw from the plate as Toronto's Joe Carter slides into second with a stolen base Saturday.

Spiers, who came into the season with six home runs in 708 career has three in 17 ts this season. Kevin Brown (1-allowed six hits in six innings, struck out six and walked three.

Clemens improved his record after a Boston loss to 8 with a three-hittSaturday as the Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 0 for .his his 26th career shutout. Clemens struck out 11, the 42nd time he's fanned 10 or more in 207th big league starts. He walked none as he pitched his 67th complete game. "I wanted to keep the ball in the ballpark," said Clemens who has not surrendered a home run in 16 starts since last July. "I wanted to keep the ball down in the strike zone with something on it."

But strange things have happened in marathons, and both Eyestone and Smith are going into the race with confidence. 'Tve been preparing for Boston since last summer," Smith, 37, said.

He made the team again in 1984 as a mara-thonand dropped out after 14 er nd er mOes because of illness. "Wearing the VS. uniform at the Olympics would be nice," said Smith, who often feuded with the British athletics federation over its method of for the Olympics, rather than from competition.

In October, he was fifth in the Chicago Marathon in 2:19:59, the fastest by an American in 1990 and the best of Eyestone's career. Also during 1990, he won the VS. Cross Country Trials and was the first U.S. finisher in the World Cross Country Championships. Eyestone again made the U.S. cross country team this year, but withdrew from the World Championships because of tendinitis in the hip. "I think the hip will hold out Monday," he said.

Monday the six Region Four squads in those two spots will try once again to complete some competition they began Friday. Baseball games rescheduled to Saturday, but postponed again include Mountain View at Provo, American Fork at Pleasant Grove and Timpview at Orem. If the weather cooperates, they will be played Monday. The Vikings and Cavemen will start at 3:30 p.m. while the Bruins and Bulldogs will meet at 4. No starting time was available for the Tigers and but it's reasonable to assume it will be about 4 p.m. since that's the normal starting time. : CALL Bradley coach - The task of University's Bradley rebuilding troubled basketball program, which has floundered through three consecutive losing seasons, has fallen on Jim Molinari. PEORIA, Dl. (AP) Molinari, 36, was introduced Friday by Bradley as the school's 11th coach, replacing Stan Albeck who resigned after the Braves turned in seasons for the first time in history. "I don't consider myself a miracle worker," Molinari told a news conference. "I don't guarantee anything. "I don't have a great feel for the talent at Bradley. I can't tell you if we need a miracle.
