THE PALM BEACH POST SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1989 5C League Leaders AL Boxes elms, players adjusting Angels 4, Rangers 1 to baseball without Rose Oh, Japan find Rose affair sad The Associated Press TOKYO The home run king of Japanese baseball, Sadaharu Oh, on Friday expressed regret about Pete Rose's lifetime ban from baseball for betting. "Rose was always a fighter, and that produced his great records," said Oh, who hit more career home runs, 868, than any player, in Japan or anywhere. "When I saw major league games in the United States recently, I didn't think the U.S. baseball commissioner would make such a decision. I thought it would be up to the courts," said Oh, a former manager of the Yomiuri Giants.

"But I think the commissioner made the decision taking into consideration the influence this case has on American youth and the future of U.S. major league baseball." A Japanese baseball commentator who declined to be identified said it was unthinkable that Rose would play or manage in Japan in the future because of the ban for betting. Japanese players also have been banned from the game for various periods in connection with gambling. Rose came to Japan in 1978 as a member of the Cincinnati Reds and again in 1979 with a U.S. all-star team.

He impressed Japanese fans with his head-first slides. track ticket owned by Pete Rose to reduce taxes on the winnings. Donald Stenger also told a U.S. District Court jury that he paid Gioiosa, who is on trial on federal drug and tax charges, to make two trips to Florida to pick up cocaine. Gioiosa once lived with the former Cincinnati Reds manager.

Rose, who has admitted gambling illegally on professional sports, was banned from professional baseball Thursday by Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti. Federal prosecutors charge that Gioiosa conspired to distribute cocaine, failed to pay taxes on his drug earnings and tried to defraud the government. The tax charges stem in part from a winning $47,646 "Pik Six" ticket at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky. Federal prosecutors contend that Rose was the true owner of the winning "Pik Six" ticket, but that Gioiosa claimed it on his 1987 tax return to shield Rose from paying taxes on the winnings in his higher tax bracket.

Stenger, who is serving a 10-year sentence for cocaine trafficking and tax evasion, said Gioiosa had told him that Stenger could launder some of his drug profits by claiming winnings from someone else's race track ticket. Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hunt asked Stenger whether he ever discussed Rose's race track betting with Gioiosa. "On one occasion there was talk of cashing a ticket and reporting it as his (Gioiosa's) income," Stenger said. "When it was really whose?" Hunt asked.

"Pete Rose's," Stenger said. ROSEfrom 1C ered it 'John McNamara and the Boston Red Sox' when I played there. "The atmosphere here is the same, as far as I can see. We're one man less." Benzinger, who grew up in nearby New Richmond, didn't feel that he'd lost one of his heroes. "I'm able to separate Pete Rose the player from Pete Rose the gambler," Benzinger said.

"They don't run together. What I admire about Pete Rose the player stays the same." There were only a few fans' signs for Rose at the game. One said, "Thanks Pete For 4,256" -Rose's final hit total. Another simply said, "14." "I think it will be a crowd that's thinking of Pete and what happened yesterday," Helms said. "That was one of the darkest days of baseball." The sense of loss also was accompanied by a sense of relief.

The sixth-month investigation of Rose and the legal maneuvering finally were over. "It definitely affected the team," Collins said. "It seems every day there were questions about his situation. That was a focus; you weren't focusing just on baseball, period. It was a distraction."

STARTERS Eric Plunk became the 15th New York Yankees' pitcher to start a game this season, pitching the second game of Thursday night's doubleheadei against Baltimore. By SCOTT TOLLEY Palm Beach Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH Doug Cinnella won his first game since May 18 by pitching 6 scoreless innings and reliever Rob Kerrigan replaced him to help the West Palm Beach Expos (31-31) shut out the Fort Lauderdale Yankees for the second straight night in a 2-0 Florida State League win at Municipal Stadium.

"It's been a long time," said Cinnella (5-10). "But I feel good. I set goals for myself for the end of the season. It looks like this is going to be my last start at home, so I wanted to do well. "I'm trying to get a chance to pitch in Mexico this winter.

If I keep pitching strong now and through the winter, it'll help my career tremendously. And the scouts from Mexico were here tonight." They must have liked what they saw. Cinnella held the Yankees (25-37) to just three singles through the first six innings, while striking out six and walking two. But with two outs in the seventh, Fort Lauderdale's Ralph Kraus singled up the middle, grazing the pitching hand Florida State League of Cinnella. After a short conference with pitching coach Dave Tomlin, Cinnella gave up a single to Skip Nelloms.

That was it for Cinnella. "Doug started throwing well in his last outing, and tonight he threw even better," Expos manager Felipe Alou said. "Too bad this happened this late in the season." Kerrigan, who was making his fifth appearance since being called up from Rockford, 111., a week ago, stifled the Yankees on one hit the rest of the way to earn his first save with the Expos. After walking the first batter he faced in the seventh to load the bases, Kerrigan retired seven of the next eight batters. "I was just slinging it at first and getting inside too much," said Kerrigan, who had four strikeouts and has yet to give up a run in 8V3 innings.

"Dave Tomlin told me to get on top. From there on, it was smooth sailing."

2:47. A 38.263. The Associated Press WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Little Leaguers from Trumbull, face a challenging task today when they play Taiwan in the 50th anniversary of the Little League World Series championship Little League Taiwanese teams have won the past three Little League World Series, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, reached the final this year by out-scoring the opposition 22-4. TV: WPBF-25, 3:30 p.m.

WPLG-10, But Trumbull manager Tom Galla said his players have been giant-killers in the past. "They're relaxed," Galla said Friday. "We played a New Jersey team that made the Taiwanese team look small." Trumbull, the Eastern Regional champion, reached the championship by winning the U.S. bracket in the eight-team tournament. Trumbull, a suburb of Bridgeport, defeated the power-hitting Western Regional champion San Pedro, 6-3 Thursday in the semifinal game.

Kaohsiung won the World Series' foreign bracket. The Far Eastern champion earned a spot in the final with a 13-0 victory over Latin American champion Maracaibo, Venezuela, on Thursday. Kaohsiung, a southern port city with 3 million people, has won its previous two appearances in the World Series, in 1974 and 1977. "We haven't won the championship for a long time," manager Wu Chin-ing said through a translator. "If we win, there will be a tremendous welcome party." Lee Chien-Chih (left) and Chris Drury are the scheduled starters for today's Little League World Series championship game.

Late night viewers Wu said hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan will watch the final on television or listen to it on the radio even though the game starts at 4 a.m. in the Asian country. Chris Drury, a 5-foot-lV2, 126-pound right-hander, is scheduled to start for Trumbull. He was the winning pitcher in a 4-3, first-round victory over Central champion Davenport, Iowa. "He'll bend a little bit, but he's never broken," Galla said.

Lee Chien-Chih, a 5-1 V4, 86-pound, right-handed submarine pitcher, is scheduled to start for Kaohsiung, the Far Eastern 1.
