TORONTO -- Former CFL commissioner J. Cheap San Francisco Giants Jerseys . Donald Crump has died at age 78. The league confirmed his passing in a statement Friday. The cause of death wasnt divulged, but Crump died Thursday at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Ont. "On behalf of our league, I want to express my heartfelt sympathies to the family of John Donald Crump on the occasion of his passing," CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said in a statement. "Mr. Crump, who served as financial officer of Maple Leaf Gardens, was commissioner of the Canadian Football League from January 1990 through December 1991. "It was a colourful time in the CFL, perhaps best remembered for the splash made by the Candy-Gretzky-McNall owned Toronto Argonauts, who captured the 1991 Grey Cup in grand style. We wish his wife Erma McPherson, children and grandchildren, comfort and peace at this difficult time." Crump was named the eighth commissioner in CFL history Jan. 5 1990, replacing president and chief operating officer Bill Baker. A quiet, soft-spoken man, Crump did his best to try and take over from the gregarious Baker, bringing a bullwhip with him to the podium at the news conference announcing his appointment. It was during Crumps tenure that the Ottawa Rough Riders were sold to Detroit businessmen Bernie and Lonie Glieberman, entrepreneur Larry Ryckman took over the Calgary Stampeders and Bruce McNall, John Candy and Wayne Gretzky purchased the Argos. But following a series of questionable and unpopular moves, the Gliebermans were out of Ottawa, although theyd eventually return after spending time running a CFL franchise in Shreveport, La. The Stampeders flourished on the field under Ryckman but he sold the club in 1996 through a voluntary receivership to help take care of the debts the team inherited when he became owner. In 1991, the Argos won the Grey Cup for their celebrity owners but by 1994 the club was sold to TSN Enterprises and McNall pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and was sentenced to 70 months in jail. Crump remained as commissioner through December 1991 before being replaced by former CFL player Larry Smith. Crump, who also worked as an executive with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, was born in Toronto and played football, hockey and basketball as a youngster. He became a chartered accountant in 1958 and took a job with the federal government the next year, joining the National Revenue Department (now the Canada Revenue Agency), where he remained until 1967. Crump was hired as treasurer of Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd., in 1971 and served as chief financial officer until 1990. His association with the Tiger-Cats began in 1978 when Harold Ballard purchased the CFL team. Crump handled many of the teams business dealings throughout Ballards years as owner and was instrumental in the sale of the club in 1989 to Hamilton businessman David Braley, who now owns both the B.C. Lions and Toronto Argos. There are two visitation sessions Sunday from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at the Dixon-Garland Funeral Home in Markham, Ont. The memorial service will be held there Monday morning.

Open mixed doubles field, Ekaterina Makarova and Bruno Soares are now Grand Slam champions.TORONTO -- With just over a month left in what has been a very disappointing season, the Toronto Blue Jays are hoping to take small steps now with an eye on spring training and the 2014 campaign. Toronto bounced back from an awful road trip with a solid 5-2 victory over New York on Monday night in the opener of a six-game homestand. R.A. Dickey allowed one earned run over 6 1/3 innings to help the Blue Jays beat the Yankees for the first time in 11 games. "The real tragedy in the season will be if theres no growth out of whats happened," Dickey said. "So were in a place where were probably evaluating some things, seeing what we can do better and how we can perform better next year and what pieces to the puzzle are going to fit. "If were able to do that, then were able to take a step forward if nothing else from a year that has not gone as expected for anybody. So again, the real tragedy is if theres no growth out of this but I think that were headed in the right direction as far as thats concerned." Edwin Encarnacion drove in two runs and Jose Reyes scored twice for the Blue Jays (59-73), who have spent most of the year in last place in the A.L. East. The bullpen did its job as Aaron Loup, Sergio Santos and Casey Janssen -- with his 24th save -- kept New York off the scoresheet once Dickey left the mound. "Everything fell in line tonight but the key was (it was a) close ballgame, we plated some runs, gave us a little breathing room," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "Thats what we havent been able to do the last couple of weeks." Toronto was 2-8 on its recent road swing and needed a quality start from Dickey (10-12), who delivered a steady performance on a hot, humid evening at Rogers Centre. His knuckleball was effective as he struck out six, walked three and allowed six hits. "Hes on a nice little roll," Gibbons said. "Hes pitching pretty good. Hes got to feel good." Dickeys lone earned run came when Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez turned on a pitch in the fifth inning for a solo shot that tied the game. It was his third homer of the season and 650th of his career. The Blue Jays came back with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. They took advantage of a rare error from right-fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who misplayed a drive from Encarnacion near the warning track. "If I could have just gone straight home from right field, I would have," Ichiro said. "I was that embarrassed." Reyes scored on the error and Adam Lind followed by lashing another ball into right field to push Ryan Goins across. Cheap Denver Broncos Jerseys. After an intentional walk to Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., Moises Sierra hit a sacrifice fly that scored Encarnacion. That was it for New York starter Phil Hughes (4-13), who allowed three earned runs and seven hits. He was replaced by southpaw David Huff, who struck out Josh Thole for the third out. Aaron Loup replaced Dickey in the seventh inning and struck out former Blue Jay Vernon Wells and Derek Jeter. Sergio Santos came in with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out Rodriguez. "From now on every game is going to be important for us," Reyes said. "We just need to finish this (season) strong so that we go to spring training with a better feeling. Like I said, every win from now on is going to be huge." The Yankees (69-62), who are fourth in the East but entered play just 3 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot, opened the scoring in the first inning. Leadoff man Brett Gardner worked a full count off Dickey before singling up the middle. Gardner moved to second on a Thole passed ball and advanced to third on a Jeter groundout. Robinson Cano followed with a tough chopper that deflected off Dickeys glove to Reyes at shortstop. The only play was to first base, allowing Gardner to score. Toronto tied it in the second inning when Kevin Pillar hit a flare to centre field that scored Lawrie from third base. The Blue Jays took the lead an inning later when Encarnacion drove in Reyes with a single to left field. After the Rodriguez homer, the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs but Dickey got out of the jam when Cano flew out to centre field. Both teams had seven hits. Announced attendance was 35,241 and the game took two hours 33 minutes to play. Notes: Rodriguez, who is appealing a 211-game suspension by Major League Baseball, was booed before every at-bat. ...
