Greencaslte MVP honorable mention Coaches name all-state team
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Outfielder Pat Schulz of state tourney champion Evansville Memorial and five players drafted by major league teams were named today to the Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association All-State team for 1989. The only underclassman on the coaches’ first team was junior Doug Bolton, a third-baseman at Wapahani. SCOTT REHLANDER, MVP of Greencastle High School’s first semistate team, received an honorable mention. Rehlander, who will continue his education and baseball career at Manchester College, hit .390 as the No. 3 hitters in the Tiger Cub batting order. He played center field the entire state tournament, but during the season also pitched and played left field. The others named to the all-state team, all seniors, were Schulz, pitchers Brad Szymanski of Warsaw, Todd O’Neal of Madison and Jim Thompson of Fort Wayne Concordia; catcher Dave Snedden of Hammond Morton; first-baseman Brian Maurer of Evansville Mater Dei; second-baseman Bryan Spetter of Center Grove; shortstop Darren Oppel of North Harrison; and outfielders Brian Glesing of Franklin Central and Greg Hensley of Columbus East.

Dodgers stopped Brave rallies. Shortstop Scott Williams turned a double play in the first inning off a ground ball. The Braves had bases loaded in the fourth when Josh Mason caught fly ball deep in center field to end the rally. Shawn Query made an “outstanding catch,” according to the filed report, in left field in the fifth inning with a Brave on base. And winning pitcher Tim Kauble closed out a six-inning pitching performance by striking out the side to end the game. Kauble finished with eight strikeouts for the game. Andy Williams was the losing pitcher for the Braves, but struck out nine batters and gave up just four hits.

Commissioner ready to testify
CINCINNATI (AP) Baseball commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti is ready to tell a state judge face-to-face that he hasn’t decided Pete Rose’s fate. Barring an appeals court ruling in his favor, Giamatti will testify in state court next week that he hasn’t “prejudged” the Cincinnati Reds’ manager. HAMILTON COUNTY Common Pleas Judge Norbert A. Nadel concluded Sunday in an unprecedented ruling that Giamatti had already determined that Rose is guilty of betting on baseball. The judge gave Rose protection from suspension or firing for two weeks, and barred Giamatti from conducting a hearing for Rose. The temporary order the legal equivalent of a 14-day timeout in the case remains in effect today despite an appeal by Giamatti’s lawyers. A three-judge panel of the Ist Ohio District Court of Appeals concluded Wednesday it had no jurisdiction to consider nullifying the order. The state appeals court didn’t decide whether Nadel acted properly. It merely concluded it had

no legal basis for intervening. The appellate panel consisted of Judges Rupert A. Doan, Harry T. Klusmeier and Lee H. Hildebrandt Jr. “THEY DIDN’T AFFIRM Judge Nadel’s finding about me,” Giamatti said. “They just decided they couldn’t decide.” “It was the easy way out,” baseball lawyer Louis L. Hoynes Jr. said. Baseball’s lawyers now could appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court. Hoynes said Wednesday he wasn’t sure how he would proceed. If the temporary restraining order can’t be overturned, Nadel will preside over a hearing July 6 for a

court. The judges accepted written arguments from both sides Wednesday morning, and ruled a few hours later through a two-page order. “We believe it is important to emphasize that this decision in no way affirms Judge Nadel’s holding regarding the commissioner,” deputy commissioner Francis T. Vincent Jr. said. “We’re obviously disappointed that the Court of Appeals refused to take jurisdiction of our appeal and, therefore, did not hear our argument on the issues. “WE RECOGNIZE THAT an appeal at this early stage was extraordinary, and we will now pursue all other avenues available to us. Eventually we know we will get to the merits of the Rose matter.” Nadel’s order Sunday blocked a hearing scheduled for Rose last Monday with Giamatti in New York. Giamatti can ban Rose from baseball for life if he decides the manager bet on his own team. Although Rose has prevailed this week in the state courts, evidence supplied to baseball by his accusers could provide him trouble with federal authorities. Yugoslavs may block Celtic pick BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) Dino Radja, a center on Yugoslavia’s national basketball team who was drafted by the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, will not be allowed to join the National Basketball Association team, his Yugoslav coach said today. “We are not going to give him the permission to go,” said Bozidar Maljkovic, the coach of the Jugoplastika team for which Radja plays. YUGOSLAV CENTER Vlade Divac, meanwhile, picked by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the draft, will be permitted to sign with the Lakers, newspaper reports said. Even though the Yugoslav sports federation does not have a policy that would prevent Radja from signing with Boston, Jugoplastika officials claim he is bound by a contract that expires in 1992. “The NBA must respect contracts between players and their clubs,” Jugoplastika’s manager Josip Bilic said. “We have no intention of selling our players in America.” RADJA IS vacationing in Italy and was not available for comment. Last week, during the European Basketball Championships in Zagreb, he told the Associated Press that he would join an NBA team if “the financial offer is good” and that Jugoplastika cannot prevent him from joining the NBA. Radja, 22, was the backbone of the Jugoplastika that captured the European Champions Cup earlier this year.
