-THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1992 BRIEFLY Sports COMPILED BY MARK SCHNEIDER BASKETBALL Missouri's Peeler arrested again Anthony Peeler, Big Eight Player of the Year and an expected high pick in Wednesday's NBA draft, was free on S500 bond Monday after being arrested on assault charges for the second time in a month. A police spokesman said Peeler turned himself in about 11:15 p.m. Sunday in Kansas City. About three hours earlier, a 19-year-old woman walked into police headquarters and complained that Peeler had punched her in the face and wrestled her to the ground. Last Tuesday, Peeler, 22, was placed on five years proba sion and contention over the rights to the 19-year-old.

Though the procedure centers on the Quebec Nordiques and their trade negotiations with the Rangers and Flyers. Bertuzzi went outside that threesome in his attempt to ascertain the story of this confusing episode. New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamor-lello is known to have been asked to testify, presumably on his team's negotiations for the giant center, who has refused to sign with Quebec since the Nordiques made him the first overall selection In the 1991 entry draft. The Flyers maintain they and the Nordiques made a handshake agreement on a whopping package for Lindros. Philadelphia owner Ed Snider affirmed his ber lief a handshake is evidence a transaction was made.

BASEBALL Mays, Reese honorary captains Hall of Famer Willie Mays and 87-year-Qld Jimmie Reese, celebrating his 75th year in base ball, were named on Monday as honorary captains for the 63rd All-Star Game, scheduled for July 14 at San Diego. GOLF Ben Davis frosh named All-State Jamie Brace, an Indianapolis Ben Davis freshman who was state tourney medalist and led the Giants to their first team championship, was named to the Indiana High School Golf Coaches Association All-State team for 1992 Monday. The 11 -member team also Included senior Trent Bell of Ben Davis, the IHSAA mental attitude award winner in last week's state tournament. Others were Billy Applegate, Clarksville Providence: Keith Blythe, Bellmont: Jason Christy, La-Ville: David Cotton, Greenfield Central: Sean Row-en, Indianapolis Cathedral; Grant Schlmmele, Fremont; Jeremy Senk, Homestead; Bob Van Pelt, Richmond; and Travis Walton, Columbus North.

coronary artery, the university said. Dr. Henry Miller, Dooley's cardiologist, said the procedure was performed by Dr. Greg Braden at North Carolina Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, and It went smoothly. "Coach Dooley had no problems at all," Miller said.

"We anticipate that he will be dismissed by mid-week and be able to resume his regular activities soon." Miller said Dooley, 58, should have no problem returning to normal coaching duties later this summer. HOCKEY Stein named interim president The NHL board of governors created a new leadership structure Monday, appointing league counsel Gil Stein as interim president until a successor can be found for John Ziegler. At the same time, the board elected Los Angeles Kings owner Bruce McNall to replace William Wirtz as chairman. "We're beginning on a new and different path." said McNall after replacing one of the most powerful voices on the board. "I hope we can keep the ship paddling along In our own way." The governors also created a chairman's executive committee, led by McNall and consisting of four members of the board: Ronald Corey of the Montreal Canadiens; Mike Hitch of the Detroit Red Wings; Peter Pocklington of the Edmonton Oilers, and Ed Snider of the Philadelphia Flyers.

Among other things, the committee will have the responsibility of finding a new commissioner. Stein, 64, is a candidate for commissioner and will serve until a commissioner is found. Lindros arbitration continues A little after 6 o'clock Monday night, arbitrator Larry Bertuzzi began the hearing that will determine whether future star Eric Lindros has been traded to the New York Rangers or Philadelphia Flyers. It is expected the hearing will continue at least through Wednesday and It probably will be at least Friday before the attorney renders his decision in Toronto putting an end to the suspense, confu higher if he wasn't restricted by the league's free agency rules. Collins said if he had been an unrestricted free agent before he signed his last contract two years ago, several teams would have bid for his services and he would have made more than the $700,000 a year he sought.

"I was one of the top defensive backs in the league, and I think every team needs a good defensive back," Collins said as the second week of the trial opened. Freeman McNeil, the 11 -year veteran New York Jets running back, testified for about 45 minutes late Monday and is expected to continue today. Although McNeil said he has enjoyed playing for the Jets, he said he wished he could have been an unrestricted free agent so he could have tested his value on an open market. Later, Frank Rothman, the NFL's lead attorney, showed the eight-woman jury that McNeil had made more than $7.1 million in salary and bonuses over the past 11 seasons. Rothman then asked McNeil if he thought a system that allowed him to make millions was unfair.

"Yes, it can be," McNeil said. "What's unfair is the fact that I'm restricted." McNeil, Collins and six other NFL players who were restricted under the league's Plan free agency system are suing the NFL, saying they were paid far less than they might have commanded on an open market. Colts sign veteran RB Carthon The Indianapolis Colts signed veteran running back Maurice Carthon Monday. Carthon, 31, played seven years with the New York Giants, starting 74 of 107 games. He rushed for 109 yards and caught seven passes for 39 yards last season and was waived by the Giants in April.

The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Carthon's best season was 1986, when he started all 16 games for the Super Bowl champions and was second on the team with 260 yards rushing. He has 941 yards rushing and 735 yards in receptions for his career. Dooley listed good after surgery Wake Forest football coach Bill Dooley was reported in good condition Monday after undergoing surgery to remove and correct blockage in his left tion in Columbia, after Peeler pleading guilty to a felony weapons charge and two related misdemeanors involving a 20-year-old woman. In that incident at an apartment near the Missouri campus, Peeler was accused of biting the woman four times, threatening her with a gun and holding her against her will. There was no immediate indication of how the latest incident, which involved a different woman, might affect his probation or his NBA draft status.

"It's a pretty racy track as far as I'm concerned I loved It," said the always-racy Earnhardt, who ran 162.2 in his Goodw-rench Chevrolet Lumlna. "You've got to work your way Into the corner. I've talked with Al Unser Jr. about this place and our cars seem to have the same characteristics as an Indy car. "You can cut the apex of the corner tight in Turns 1 and 2.

but you have to get it Just right In Turn 4. You can't hang it on the apron (in Turn 4) or you'll get In trouble." Elliott, who hopped into Chip Ganassi's Indy car last year at Michigan and quickly worked up to a very respectable speed, led the way In Junior Johnson's Budwelser Ford Thunderblrd with a lap of 165.001 (54.5 seconds). "It's good, the track was pretty straight forward and we had no real surprises," said Elliott, who owns the NASCAR closed-course record of 212 mph at Talladega, Ala. "We haven't changed a lot from our Michigan car and it seems to be pretty close. "All In all, it's a pretty neat place." Wallace, wheeling Roger Penske's Miller Genuine Pontiac Grand Prix, was Impressed with Indy's silky surface.

"It's like driving on glass; It's the smoothest track I've ever run on," said Wallace. "You don't feel anything no bumps, no nothing and it makes you wonder what steps to go to next when you're changing the chassis. "But what a kick it is driving around this place." Waltrip, who claimed he picked up a full second after some advice from Gary Betten-hausen, was asked about the handling of his Western Auto Chevrolet Lumlna. "It's a flat track and If your car is pushing, you're not going anywhere and our racing is no different than Indy cars in that respect," he replied. "Our Ideal race car has all four wheels working and the front end Is following the rear.

"But they trim out the wings to go faster In Indy cars and we Just work on the drivers." Indy's parameters long straightaways and tight corners figured to get everyone's attention but the general consensus wasn't bad. "Our cars are heavy, we don't have ground effects or wings and we've got to slow down for the corners," said Martin, who ran 161 -plus in the Valvollne Ford Thunderblrd. "It's always difficult to get comfortable and be happy but this place was easier than I expected. "But I still don't see how anybody can run wide open into that first turn." Allison drove around the Speedway in a passenger car with Waltrip and was pleasantly surprised later when he bolted on his Havoline Ford Thunder-bird. "We were looking down the backstretch trying to see Turn 3 in, said the current Winston Cup point leader.

"But when I started running, there was a lot more room plenty of room really and It was really smooth too." After posting the second fastest speed of 162.657 mph in the Mello-Yello Pontiac Grand Prix. Petty was asked about the low groove everyone was taking through the turns which usually Included all four wheels below the white line. "That's a Winston Cup tendency we've run In the grass all day long at some tracks," he answered. "You've got to get low because we drive into the corner, pitch the car and slide and you want as much room as possible between the track and wall when you start sliding." Irvan, whose dice with Wallace and Elliott In his Kodak Chevrolet Lumina got the crowd roaring, said, "We ran a couple laps side-by-side and I think we can run four abreast down the straightaways." The Speedway was adamant there won't be any racing In today's final test session, but Wallace said, "I got a feeling It might get a little competitive I Make your next garage sale a huge success by advertising in The Star and The News Classifieds.
