Now, Cubs have more worries By Randy Mlnkoff UPI sports writer CHICAGO -- Suddenly, the ques­ tion of lights at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs would play home World Series games and the condi­ tion of Rick Sutcliffe's leg became moot. Instead, the home of the Chicago Cubs was filled with questions whether this would be the last game of the reign of the defending Nation­ al League Eastern Division champions. Wrigley Field was the site of the first game cancelled by the 1981 baseball strike. Monday, it was the first game on what could be the last day of the 1985 season. Another near capacity crowd was on hand to see the Mets shell the Cubs, but the game had been a sellout for months. I suppose all the fans are used to it now, and they've got other plans," said Tom Brennan, 23, of Chicago, an usher at Wrigley Field. "With school coming up soon, I'd tmaghi* that some of the fans would have something else to do." Should there be a strike, some businesses would be hurt immediately. "Our payroll loss would be sever­ al hundred thousand a week," sakl John Doncrank, general manager of Szabo Food Service Co., concession­ aire at Wrigley Field. "That's what those people (employees) will lose Id A The Cubs delayed a flight to St. Louis originally slated for Monday night. Instead, Chicago will fly to St. Louis Tuesday morning if there is no strike, so players wonTt have to worry about paying their own way home. "I really don't mind answering everyone's questions all the time about things," said Cubs' player rep Keith Moreland. "That's my job. I do it so the other players can go about their business. But I'll tell you one thing. One hour before the game, I stop thinking about it."

Brownell wins again By Herald News Service LAKE GENEVA, Wis. - Burton's Bridge native Bob Brownell added to his points leadership in the late model stocks at Lake Geneva Race­ way Saturday night. Brownell captured his fifth fea­ ture win of the season, and has now won a race in every month since the Raceway opened its season in April. Brownell overhauled early leader Gary Kreiger after the second yel­ low flag. The first had come up when two cars locked up in the upper turns, and later, the flag came out in the number one turn. Brownell's win might not have been as comfortable if it hadn't been for a hood coming up and Mocking the windshield of fast time qualifier Fran Prestay of Silver Lake, Wis. Prestay was black flagged out of the race while in second place and when he re-en­ tered the race, he was too far back to be a factor. Eddie May of Crystal Lake and Kevin Rein of Woodstock came through to finish second and third, respectively. Wonder Lake's Steve Harvey started the 20-lap hobby stock car feature in fine fashion, jumping out into the lead, and it looked as if Harvey might grab his second win of the year. But Harvey was over­ come, and, after winning his first race ever in an earlier heat, fin­ ished well back at 13th. Johnsburg's Dave Melhan was eighth in the 20-lap feature of the hobby stock class. Tom Clunk of Woodstock was 10th. Hank Olsen of Woodstock was second in the third heat.
