England, Argentina to meet in battle of different kind
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Four years after their armed forces met in the Falkland Islands, England and Argentina’s soccer teams will test each other at the World Cup. Despite their protests that it is only sports, the players recognize the extra aura surrounding the game. “We came to play soccer,” Argentine star Diego Maradona said when asked repeatedly what role the Falklands (Malvinas in Spanish) conflict might play in the game. “It’s wrong to discuss the Malvinas, because it’s another matter

Gross hits, pitches Phillies to 5-3 victory over Cardinals
By The Associated Press Anytime a pitcher hits a home run, it’s cause for celebration. Yet as Kevin Gross learned again, sometimes it’s better to wait a while before getting too excited. Gross hit his second major-league homer, capping a four-run fifth inning Thursday night that led the Philadelphia Phillies over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3. “When I hit my last one in San Francisco last year, I gave up three runs in the next inning. And I gave up two tonight in the next inning.” Gross, 6-5, wound up pitching 8 2-3 innings before Don Carman got the final out for his first save. Astros 6, Reds 2 Glenn Davis’ two-run homer sparked a balanced 15-hit attack that carried Houston over Cincinnati. Dodgers 9, Braves 4 Franklin Stubbs and Alex Trevino hit solo home runs during Los Angeles’ 15-hit attack and Orel Hershiser won for the first time since May 25. Padres 8, Giants 3 Graig Nettles hit a pair of two-run homers, powering San Diego past visiting San Francisco. Pirates 4, Expos 2 Rookie Barry Bonds hit his fifth home run and Joe Orsulak rapped three hits as Pittsburgh won in Montreal. Indians, 8, Mariners 1 The term knuckleball is a misnomer.

Ormsby has severed spine
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Duke University surgeons who conducted five hours of delicate surgery Thursday on North Carolina State University runner Kathy Ormsby found that her leap from a 40-foot bridge had severed her spinal cord, a hospital spokesman said. The surgeons confirmed predictions that Miss Ormsby was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Duke spokeswoman Kay Miller said Miss Ormsby emerged in good condition from the surgery conducted to realign her spine at Duke University Medical Center. The realignment was expected to speed her rehabilitation.

altogether. “We are soccer players, here to play a World Cup... and win. That’s all we have on our minds.” That’s not all on the minds of the folks back in Argentina and England. Before the teams kick off Sunday at Aztec Stadium in Mexico City, both sides will get in their shots about the 74-day war. A statement issued by Argentine Soccer Federation President Julio Grondona and secretary Eduardo De Luca said the team “would fully abide by the regulations and the

up? “I cut my workout short, ran in here, cut the nail off and put some hardener on it,” Cleveland’s Tom Candiotti said Thursday night. The cracked nail forced him to use the tip of his index < finger, rather than the nail, to grip the ball. It worked to the tune of a five-hit 81 victory over the Seattle Mariners, Candiott’s fifth complete game of the season. Rangers 3, A’s 2 Rookie Edwin Correa pitched a four-hitter and Steve Buechele and Oddibe McDowell homered as Texas ended a five-game losing streak and retained undisputed possession of first place in the AL West, one game ahead of idle California. Blue Jays 10, Yankees 9 Damaso Garcia doubled to score Willie Upshaw from second base in the 10th inning. Tigers 7, Orioles 5 Pinch hitter Darrell Evans singled home the tying and lead runs in the eighth inning and Lou Whitaker added a two-run homer in the ninth as Detroit hammered Baltimore relief ace Don Aase and swept a four-game series from the Orioles for the first time since 1962. Aase, the major-league leader with 18 saves, had saved seven of Baltimore’s last nine victories and hadn’t allowed a run in 111-3 innings. White Sox 9, Twins 8 Carlton Fisk and Ron Kittle hit solo homers and Chicago scored six runs in the sixth inning for a 9-5 lead and hung on.
The rising college star, who had set a national record in April, broke from a pack during a national 10,000-meter championship race in Indianapolis June 4. Her coach, Rollie Geiger, found her two blocks away lying on a river bed 40 feet below a bridge. Miss Ormsby said she jumped from the bridge, Geiger said, and police labeled it a suicide attempt. Doctors at Duke said Miss Ormsby had suffered a complete fracture dislocation of her spin in the mid-back area. They used rods and wire to realign the spine, Ms. Miller said.
schedule” of the World Cup. That was a response to a suggestion by some senators in Buenos Aires to have the team withdraw from the tournament. Those senators said they had asked Argentine President Raul Alfonsin to withdraw the team rather than play England. The president’s office would not acknowledge receipt of the request. “I think the game is mostly soccer and there is no need to look for any political or historical background to
But they, police and university officials offered few details about what happened before Bias collapsed on a dormitory floor early Thursday morning. What they did say provided little explanation for the death of a healthy 22-year-old man who was considered one of the University of Maryl nd’s greatest athletes. The Baltimore Sun today quoted Arthur A. Marshall Jr., the Prince George’s County state’s attorney, as saying a test on Bias’ body “indicates there may have been drugs.” Marshall said the case was being investigated as a suspicious death. The Sun also quoted Dr. John Rogers, deputy medical examiner for Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, as saying a urine test showed a trace of a byproduct of a drug that could have been cocaine. In today’s editions of the Boston Globe, Celtics president Red Auerbach said Maryland Coach Lefty Driesell told him Bias probably used cocaine, perhaps for the first time, at a party Thursday morning celebrating his signing with the Celtics. “He (Driesell) understood that Bias was out someplace, had a couple of beers with his friends and came back to the dormitory,” Auerbach was quoted as saying. “Some guy, another student, joined the party and allegedly said, ‘Come on, let’s have a real celebration.’” Driesell answered no question during an emotional news conference, and the university’s athletic director, Dick Dull, refused to comment on the report. Bias’ friend Madelyn Woods told WDVM-TV in Washington that peer pressure could have been a factor if drugs were Involved. “Len Bias would have never done this by himself, not once, ever,” she
Rokicki gals improve to 9-1 with win
Rokicki’s girls’ junior league softball team combined 16 hits and seven walks Wednesday night to post a 20-4 romp over WJNZ to set up a showdown for tonight between them and undefeated Dairy Queen. THE WIN IMPROVED Rokicki’s season record to 9-1 as Missy Hurst and Nikki Sutherlin were both a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate. All of the hits were singles but they came in bunches as the game ended one inning early because of the 10-run rule.
Kiwanis remains perfect in Babe Ruth
Kiwanis scored five runs in the top of the seventh inning last Tuesday to record a 5-2 win over South Putnam in Babe Ruth baseball action. COBY McGUIRE doubled in the winning runs in the inning to back up Pete Huber’s 15 strikeout effort on the mound. The day before, Kiwanis posted an 11-1 win over Rokicki’s.

Franklin has not hung up track shoes Joe Franklin will run again. THE GRADUATED senior from Greencastle High School will once again take to the track and compete in his race -- the 800-meter run - on June 28 and 29. The event is the TAC Junior National Track Meet at Townson State University in Maryland. Franklin and a handful of other Hoosier track and field participants were invited to participate in the meet, which will bring together the top high school athletes from around the country. The first two finishers in each event at TSU will qualify for the national team which will run in three other meets - the Pan American Junior Championships in Orlando, Fla; a dual meet with the Romanian Junior team in Bucharest; and the World Junior Championships in Athens, Greece. Franklin’s best career time in the 800 is 1:53.53, which earned him a third-place finish in the IHSAA state meet earlier this spring. Last weekend in Fort Wayne at the Midwest Meet of Champions, the blond speedster posted a 1:54.9 time which was good enough for second place-

The other game Sunday is Belgium vs. Spain at Puebla.
said, adding that if he had used cocaine, “the reaction was so severe because he had no tolerance for it. He had never had it in his system before and that’s why this happened.” Bias returned to campus about midnight after returning on Wednesday from Boston where he had signed on as the Celtics’ newest member. He spent about two hours with friends and teammates discussing his plans and his trip, then left the dormitory and walked to his car, accompanied by Keeta Covington, a Maryland football player. “At about 2 o’clock, he said he was tired of all the questions and just wanted to be alone,” Covington said. Bias left to visit his girlfriend, accompanied by another friend, and returned to the dormitory about 90 minutes later, Covington said. David Driggers, another friend, said he saw Bias at a party about 2 a.m. before Bias returned to* campus. Driggers said there were no drugs or alcoholic beverages at the party. Some of Bias’ teammates were asleep when he returne to their suite, but Speedy Jones said that t about 6:15 a.m., Bias woke Terry Long and the two talked in Long’s bedroom. Then “Terry said Lenny laid back and closed his eyes and started shaking,” said Jones. He said Long tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. “Lenny started throwing up. Terry could not revive him. Then Terry called the ambulance,” said Jones. He was pronounced dead at Leland Memorial Hospital at 8:50 a.m. Driesell told reporters that he throught Bias, a soft-spoken interior design student who wrote poetry, was “the greatest basketball player that ever played in the Atlantic Coast Conference.”
Rokicki scored six runs in the first and added five in the third, two in the fifth and seven in the sixth to account for its total. WJNZ scored single tallies in the first and second frames and added two in the fifth for its four runs. Hurst was the winner on the mound as she got offensive support from Kristie Alexander, and Mindy Gregory, who both had two-hit performances at the plate.
Joey Mazur was the tough guy on the hill for Kiwanis on this day as he struck out 12 opponents. Huber backed him at the plate by going 3-for-3. The big inning for the winners was the third when Mazur hit an inside-the-park homer while Chris Hutchings, Jamie Cox and Huber all tripled.
