(AP Photo) BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Every thumping stride shot pain through Dave Johnson's fractured foot until he crossed the finish line in the waning dusk and closed out one of America's greatest days on an Olympic track. It was a day of guts and waves of Old Glory, a day when the medal count four gold, two silver, three bronze in six finals only began to tell the story. You might have to go back to Mexico City in 1968, when Bob Beamon soared beyond 29 feet for the first time and Jim Hines cracked the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters, to find such an illustrious day for Americans at the Summer Games.

And it happened not only in the Olympic stadium, but all over Barcelona on Thursday as the United States drew within one medal of the Unified Team, 87-86, after starting the morning 10 behind. Mountainous Bruce Baumgartner became the only American wrestler to win medals in three straight Olympics, taking the gold in the 286-pound freestyle by beating Jeff Thue of Canada 8-0. Kenny Monday won a silver at 163 pounds, losing 1-0, to Park Jang-Soon of South Korea. That match was tied until Park took Monday down with 15 seconds to go. It was the first point Monday allowed in the Games.

Two U.S. fighters assured themselves gold or silver, Oscar De La Hoya surviving an match against a mauler, and Chris Byrd boxing beautifully against a slugger.

men beat Lithuania 127-76 to reach gold medal game. WRESTLING Bruce Baumgartncr won 286-pound freestyle title, becoming first American wrestler to win three Olympic medals. Kenny Monday lost 1-0 to Park Jang-sun of South Korea in the 163-pound gold medal match. BOXING Chris Byrd and Oscar De La Hoya advanced to Saturday's finals. The day finally ended across town at basketball, where the Dream Teamers put nearly everyone but themselves to sleep with another boring romp, 127-76 over Lithuania, to reach the gold medal game against Croatia on Sunday.

Team USA was at its dominating best against the remnants of the Soviet team that upset the Americans in the semifinals four years ago in Seoul. Michael Jordan's 21 points led nine players in double figures as the Americans punished the Lithuanians on offense and defense. Sarunas Marciulionis of the Golden State Warriors, a 1988 Soviet gold medalist, led Lithuania with 20 points, while 7-foot-3 Arvidas Sabonis, David Robinson's opposing center four years ago, had 11 points. "Revenge wasn't really a factor," said Robinson, the only veteran of that U.S. team.

"I think about Seoul a little bit (but) it hasn't haunted me." Charles Barkley said the biggest inspiration was the shocking loss Wednesday by the U.S. women to the Unified Team. "I think the girls' game gave us a wakeup call," Barkley said. "Any given day, if you're not ready to play, something bad can happen. But in drama and breadth of performance, practically nothing in Olympic track during the past two decades, with the whole world competing, surpassed this show Thursday: Lewis leading Mike Powell and Joe Greene to a second consecutive U.S.

sweep in the long jump, grabbing a record third gold for himself in the event, and pushing his gold collection to seven with a leap of 28 feet, 5.5 into a headwind. Young knocking over the final barrier in the 400-meter hurdles and still making a joke of Edwin Moses' 9-year-old world record, shattering it by nearly a quarter of a second in 46.78. Marsh and Gwen Tor- rcnce sweeping the men's and women's 200-meter races, the third straight time U.S. runners have done that in the Olympics. Johnson, fighting the pain in his swollen foot, winning the first decathlon medal by an American in 16 years, but unhappily settling for a bronze behind Czechoslovakia's Robert Zmelik and Spain's Antonio Penalver.

Devers tripping over the last hurdle in the women's 100 hurdles, plunging shoulder-first onto the track, tumbling across the finish line and losing a guaranteed gold to Paraskevi Patoulidou, the first Greek woman ever to win an Olympic medal in track. Joe Arredondo takes over lead Arredondo is making sure his trip all the way from Japdn is worthwhile. Arredondo fired a 66 on Thursday to take over the second round lead of the 48th annual Heart of the Hills Tournament at Schreiner Municipal Golf Course. That gave him a two-round score of 137, four strokes better than a trio of golfers tied for second at 141. They are Gary Owens of Houston, Billy Cain and defending champion Gary Wootton.

Owens had a superb 67 on Thursday, while Wootton scored a 68 after shooting a 73 in the opening round. In third was two-time HOH champ Ralph Arredondo at 142.

In first flight medal play, Wayne Westbrook of Pasadena scored a 72 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead at 149 over Kerrville golfers Dale Cloud and Sammy Cowden at 150. The formidable duo of Wootton and Cowden maintained their lead in the championship partners flight, scoring another 65 on Thursday for a two-round mark of 130.

Challenging were the Arredondo brothers Joe and Ralph, who shot a hot 64 to move into second with a 132. In third were Minter and Stubblefield at 133. Leading first flight partners by three strokes was the Kerrville team of Tom Travis and Mack Haufler at 133. Tied for second were Doane Heart and Ed Reeves of San Antonio and NJ.

Other marks were Bailey and Baileyh 137, Alexander and Brown 137, Smith and Jackson 138, Brown HOH ROUNDUP and Brown 140, Scott and Hulett 140, Hubble and Syphrette 140, Caffey and Terrell 144, Buchanan and Buchanan 144, Deleon and Heiman 147, Reynolds and Eastus 158. Second flight partnership leaders at 135 were Bob Moran and Kevin Foster. Tiet 1 for second at 136 were Everett of Crane and Ben Wilson of Leakey, and Juno Druebert and Jerry Oliver of Kerrville. Leading the third flight partnership were Jack Wicks and Darryl Ainley of Lompoc, CA. at 141.

That was a stroke better than Tracy Clark and Carl Anderson of Mansfield. Fourth flight partnership leaders were Tommy Hyatt and Eric Lantz of Kerrville at 144. A stroke behind was another Kerrville team, Palin and John Kennedy. In third at 146 were Kerrville's Modesto Delossantos and Ray Gutierrez.

Hannah's Rebel, Nearly Time, and Trixie Sticks will run from the first three starting gate positions in Saturday's $2,3000 race. Hannah's Rebel is trained by Dave Correll, who's been saddling winners in the recent quarter horse futurities and derbies. He's got leading jockey David Brown to ride Hannah's Rebel, whose record this year is one win and two second-place finishes out of four starts. The only time Hannah's Rebel has been out of the money this year was in the $24,060 Lone Star State Derby, when he ran fourth and was barely beaten by a Next to Hannah's Rebel in the starting gate will be Nearly Time.

The colt, trained by David Latham and ridden by jockey Danny Lavergne, has a two-win and two second- and two third-place finish record out of eight starts tins year. The colt broke his maiden April 17 and has been running strong ever since.

Both men have been doing exceptionally well racing at Bandera recently. Ryan gets heave-ho Umpire runs legend after hitting Wilson Nolan Ryan was treated to the first ejection of his 26-year career. (Times File Photo) ARLINGTON (AP) Nolan Ryan was ejected with two outs in the eighth inning of Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics after he hit Willie Wilson in the leg with a pilch. Ryan said after the game that he can't remember being ejected before in his 26-year major-league career. The game, which Oakland led 2-0, was interrupted for nearly 10 minutes after booing fans littered the field with hundreds of cups and food wrappers.

Players poured onto the field from both benches, but there was no brawl. The near-capacity crowd of 36,712 fans littered the field again after the inning. Ryan had held the A's to six hits and struck out 12 batters when he was ejected by home plate umpire Rich Garcia. He was replaced by Edwin Nunez. Jose Canseco was ejected in the sixth inning after he argued with Garcia about his third strikeout of the game.

Wilson and Ryan had engaged in a brief shouting match after Wilson tripled off the center-field wall in the seventh. Wilson and Walt Weiss, whom Ryan walked, scored in the inning. "Willie seems to have a problem," Ryan said. thinks he can scream obscenities all game and if someone says something back he wants to get a reaction from the ump." Wilson, who accused Ryan of shouting an obscenity at him before he hit his triple, said he expected to be hit in his next at-bat "I knew he was going to hit me. I just didn't know what pitch," Wilson said.

"He's always done that. He stares people down, he walks around the mound, he just tries to intimidate everybody. "This is his country, his town, his stadium. He's not a legend in my mind.".
