Arkansas high school making athletes pay

MALVERN, Ark. (AP) - The financially strapped Malvern school board is asking students to pay a fee before they can take part in sports, and the football coach says he will help them find jobs to raise the money. Board members adopted the policy this week in the face of a tight school budget caused by tougher state stan-

Bielecki helps Pirates knock Giants out of Ist place

By The Associated Press For a guy who did not think he would be on the Opening Day roster, Mike Bielecki is doing just fine for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bielecki won his third game without a loss this season Thursday night, pitching seven strong innings before needing relief help as the lirates beat the San Francisco Giants 8-2. “I think I can pitch up here and win some games but I don’t think I have the capability of being a big star,” said Bielecki, who had off-season surgery to repair a ruptured disk. Sid Bream drove in three runs with a double and a single and Jim Morrison hit a three-run triple. Elsewhere in the NL, it was St. Louis 13, San Diego 3; Atlanta 10, Cincinnati 5, and Chicago 6, Los Angeles 5. Bielecki took a two-hitter and 8-0 lead into the eighth, but gave up a leadoff pin-ch-home run to Joel Youngblood, his first, and then another homer to Will Clark, his fifth. The home runs ended Bielecki’s string of consecutvie scoreless innings at 15. The loss dropped the visiting Giants out of first place in the National League West. San Francisco now trails Houston by 14 percentage points. Cardinals 13, Padres 3 St. Louis pitcher Tim Conroy was as

dards and cuts in funding. Starting this fall, would-be members of the Malvern High School Leopards football team, Lady Leopard basketball players, and any other athletes in the eighth through 12th grades must each pay a S3O fee. Athletic director and football coach David Alpe suggested the fee system, saying it goes for all athletes, regar-

surprised as anybody when he got two hits and drove in four runs to lead a 20-hit Cardinal attack. “The last time it happened, 1 think, was at Gateway High School in Monroeville, Pa,” said Conroy, whose five-hit complete game gave the Cardinals back-to-back victories for the first time since April 19. “I just took a swing. The bat hit the ball both times.” The Cardinals, who won of 101 games and had the highest team batting average in the National League last season, entered the game hitting .209. They came out at .223, scoring more than three runs in a nine-inning game for the first time in 17 outings. Braves 10, Reds 5 Atlanta Manager Chuck Tanner believes two-time NL Most Valuable Player Dale Murphy should be the player against whom all others are measured. “I’ve never known anyone like him,” Tanner said after Murphy hit his sixth and seventh homers of the season to drive in five runs. “When you ask who to compare him with, you must compare someone with him. God only makes one like him in 50 years.” Murphy’s three-run, first-inning homer, followed by Bob Horner’s fifth home run of the season, came off John Denny, 1-4. Murphy’s second homer, and seventh of the season, broke the game

dless of hardship. He said he has lined up merchants willing to hire students who may need help raising the money. “We know the district has supplemented the athletic budget with about $5,000 to SIO,OOO per year,” Alpe told the board before it approved the fees Monday night. “We know that will be cut and we are trying to find ways to reduce expenditures. ”

Change does not seem to help Mariners

By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer Some say baseball teams play better in their first game after a managerial shakeup. Not the Seattle Mariners, though. They kept playing the same way that got their old manager fired. “It’s the kind of game that makes you want to go home and kick the dog,” coach Marty Martinez, the Mariners’ interim manager, said Thursday night after a 4-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The Mariners, picked by many to challenge this season in the American League West, dismissed Manager Chuck Cottier on Thursday afternoon. The loss to visiting Boston gave Seattle a 9-20 record, including five straight defeats and 17 losses in the last 21 games. “I’ve been in losing situations like the Mariners and you’re always wondering what will happen next,” said Boston’s Marty Barrett, who capped a four-run rally in the seventh inning with a two-run triple.

“I wanted to bunt to get on,” said Dunston, leading off the fifh with the Dodgers ahead 4-2. “But I saw (first baseman Greg) Brock come in so I decided to swing away for a hit.” “I didn’t think it would go,” Reuss said of Dunston’s fifth homer of the season.

In the only other two AL games on Thursday, Toronto rallied past California 7-6 and Oakland edged Milwaukee 2-1. Boston squandered several scoring opportunities before breaking through against Mike Morgan, 2-3, in the seventh inning. Trailing 2-0, Wade Boggs and Bill Buckner singled with one out, and RBI singles by Jim Rice and Don Balyor tied the score. Reliever Matt Young retired Rich Gedman on a fly ball for the second out, and Karl Best was then summoned. Barrett worked the count full before lining his two-run triple into the left-center field gapThe Red Sox won for the ninth time in their last 11 games. “I was a little bit nervous,” Martinez said after his first game. “It was a frustrating ballgame because we left too many guys on third base. You want to win so badly and nothing materializes.” Blue Jays 7, Angels 6 Buck Martinez’s two-run single broke a

But everyone in this 64-player tournament is a champion, having won a tournament at some time in their career. And both Lendl and Becker cannot afford to look past today. Becker, the No. 2 seed, began today’s quarterfinal round by taking on ninthseeded Martin Jaite of Argentina. Lendl

“But it was a line drive. A fly ball wouldn’t make it.” Mike Marshall proved that in the ninth inning when he launched a rocket high and deep to left but the ball was caught near the wall by Jerry Mumphrey to preserve the victory.

The Blue Jays trailed 5-4 entering the seventh, but Lloyd Moseby was hit by a pitch, took third on a pinch-single by Garth lorg and scored the tying run when he beat first baseman Wally Joyner’s throw to the plate on a grounder by Willie Upshaw. A groundout moved the runners to second and third, and Martinez delivered a single for his first runs batted in of the season.

Steve Ontiveros worked the ninth for the host A’s and got his third save despite allowing Randy Ready’s home run.

is scheduled to meet the No. 7 seed, Thierry Tulasne of France, in the featured night match. Other quarterfinal matchups sent No. 3 Joakim Nystrom of Sweden against veteran Guillermo Vilas of Argentina and No. 4 Yannick Noah of France against Peru’s Pablo Arraya, the only non-seeded player remaining in this Nabisco Grand Prix tournament. Although both Lendl and Becker won their third-round matches Thursday in straight sets, Becker found the going a little rough before escaping Argentina’s Horatio de la Pena 7-5,7-5. “He’s very good on clay courts,” Becker said of de la Pena. “He hits with very heavy topspin, and so the ball comes at you very high and only one meter (yard) in front of the baseline.” Lendl brushed aside 18-year-old Aaron Krickstein 6-2, 6-4; Noah stopped Australian Paul McNamee 6-0, 6-3; Nystrom outlasted Tim Wilkison 6-3, 6-7, 6-2; Jaite defeated 19-year-old Bruno Oresar of Yugoslavia 6-3, 6-3; Vilas cruehed 18-year-old Leonardo Lavalle of Mexico 6-2, 6-2, and Tulasne downed 6-foot-8 Milan Srejber of Yugoslavia 6-3, 64. The losses by Krickstein and Wilkison means that no American reached the quarterfinals in a tournament that has been won by only one non-American: Lendl, in 1982 and 1985. America’s two top players John McEnroe, a two-time Tournament of Champion winner, and Jimmy Connors are missing from this year’s field. McEnroe is in the midst of a self-imposed sabbatical from tennis, while Connors is currently serving a 10-week suspension from all Grand Prix-sanctioned events. While Lendl and Becker are favored to reach the title match, one of the most popular quarterfinalists is the 33-year-old Vilas. In 1977 he won the last U.S. Open to be played on the clay courts at Forest Hills. Hayes hopes slump ending DALLAS (AP) Mark Hayes, delighted with the apparent end of a fouryear slump, was able to put at least one worry behind him. “Maybe,” the soft-spoken Oklahoman said Thursday after shooting a 6-under-par 64 for a two-stroke lead in the storminterrupted and uncompleted first round of the Byron Nelson Classic, “I don’t have to worry about making the cut.” And that’s been a problem this season for the man who once was ranked among golf’s more promising young players. “It looks like I’ve been trying to miss the cut this year. I’d be four or five shots under the cut with five holes to play and then make double bogey or something and miss it again,” Hayes, who has failed to qualify for the final 36 holes in half his starts this year, said. But since he held the lead when a thunderstorm forced a suspension of play late Thursday afternoon, his chances of failing to qualify for the final 36 holes seems remote. Twenty-one players were stranded on the new Tournament Players Club at Las Colinas by the afternoon thunderstorm. None of those stranded players appeared to have a chance to overtake Hayes. Of those who had yet to complete play, Steve Jones was the leader at two under par with four holes to go. Of the 135 men who completed play, Andy Bean and Barry Jaeckel shared second at 66. Ken Brown of Scotland was next at 67.
