All others wilt by comparison to 6-10 Chicago Bth-grader

CHICAGO (AP) At 6-foot-10 inches tall and 32 points a game, Rashard Griffith is drawing plenty of attention from college basketball coaches. But they’ll have to wait a while to get the teen-ager on their teams. First he has to finish grade school. Then there’s the matter of high school. Griffith is a 14-year-old eighthgrader described by his coach at Marcus Garvey Elementary School on the far South Side as one of the most extraordinary prep prospects since Wilt Chamberlain. GRIFFITH “MAY EVEN be better” than the NBA legend, who was a prep star in his native Philadelphia, coach Bennie Parrot said in an interview Friday. “They said he was the ‘Second Coming,’ but I honestly thought they were blowing smoke,” Indiana University assistant coach Joby Wright said after seeing Griffith. “I thought I was going to see a young kid slightly clumsy with good skills to work with. But what I saw shocked me,” he said. “He has great vision, agility, quickness, hands and court awareness. He can dominate right now on the high

DiMaggio visit thrills hospitalized cancer victim namesake, 18

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Crowds once roared for Joe DiMaggio, but his lone appearence in a hospital room brought a quieter response from a young cancer patient named DiMaggio Velasquez: Awed silence. The famed Yankee Clipper spent about 20 minutes Friday with the 18-year-old fan, who was named after DiMaggio and grew up wanting to play like him. Velasquez recently lost a leg to cancer, which has spread to his lungs. THE YOUTH, A Nicaraguan refugee, had brought baseball cards of the former New York Yankee outfielder to his room at San Francisco General Hospital, and put two baseballs on the window ledge to be autographed. The 74-year-old DiMaggio, three times the American League’s Most Valuable Player and participant in 10 World Series, signed the balls, posed for photographs and talked with the young fan for about 20 minutes. “At one point, I asked (Velasquez) how he felt, and he said ‘I was mute’ and one tear came out of his eye,” said hospital spokesman Gloria Rod-

school level.” Parrot says the future looks bright for Griffith. “IF HE KEEP HIS head together, keeps his books up and he’s doing a fine job of that now he should turn out to be fine athlete,” Parrot said. “The sky’s the limit if he stays healthy.” Parrot said he has talked to coaches who observed Chamberlain at the same age, and say Griffith is more advanced. Predictions are that the boy could reach 7-5. “I didn’t know what to expect at first,” Griffith said. “My coach told me it would be like this and to be prepared. But it’s starting to get on my nerves when somebody calls you up and tells you why you should go to their high school. “Some have even been rude to my mother and I don’t appreciate that at all.” “ONE COACH TOLD me that Parrot was hogging the kid and not giving anybody else a chance to come near him,” said Griffith’s mother, Elaine Griffith. “I told him nobody hogs my son but me. But if anybody had the right to do it, it would be (Parrot) because he has been like a second father to him.”

riguez. “He was speechless. His dream had come true.” He called meeting his hero “my forever dream.” His mother, Emestina, gave her second son the baseball player’s name at the urging of his uncle, who once traveled from Nicaragua to watch DiMaggio, whose 56-game hitting streak in 1941 is considered by many to be the greatest of all baseball accomplishments.
