WHAT HAPPENED ON WEDNESDA ...

      MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.....After racking-up thirteen runs the night before, the Toronto Blue Jays could only muster a single run in last night's rubber match against the Tampa Bay Rays who won the game, 2-1.....the New York Yankees maintained their one-game, first-place lead in the A-L East over Tampa by edging the Oakland Athletics, 4-3......the Boston Red Sox outscored the Baltimore Orioles, 9-6.....and.....the Detroit Tigers were 2-1 losers to the Minnesota Twins in ten-innings.
 
     AT THE U-S OPEN TENNIS TOURNAMENT IN NEW YORK.....In last night's featured matches, American Andy Roddick---the men's ninth seed---was ousted from the tourney by a four set, upset loss to unseeded Serbian, Janko Tisparevic.....and......the women's second seed, Kim Clijsters of Belgium, cruised 6-2, 6-1 over Australia's Sally Peers.
 
     SENIOR "A" LACROSSE PLAYOFFS......After a four day break, the championship series resumes in Brampton tonight with the Excelsiors holding a three-games-to-two lead over the Peterborough Lakers.  The opening face-off is set for 8:00.
 
     AT THE WORLD BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN TURKEY......A disastrous tournament for Team Canada continued yesterday with a 71-61 loss to New Zealand.  The Canucks are now 0-and-4, and things won't get any easier because they end their tournament today by playing defending world champion, Spain.
 
      N-H-L NEWS.....Senator Jacques Demers---who coached the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup championship in 1993---will be going under the knife for a second time after a hernia operation that nearly killed him. During the initial procedure--done at an Ottawa area hospital in late June---the surgeon unknowingly nicked Demers' intestine, sending toxins throughout his body. That required the first corrective surgery to seal the intestinal leak.  Meantime, Demers yesterday made his first public appearance since June's surgery at an outdoor rally in Montreal, accompanied by Prime Minister Harper.
