He isn't on that level yet. He hasn't been around as long as me. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Doctors found no major problems with a Minnesota Twins official who was hospitalized after a seizure. Joe Mcllvaine, 51, was expected to be released from a New Orleans hospital later Tuesday, Twins spokesman Sean Harlin said. Mcllvaine was stricken Sunday, about the same time Houston manager Larry Dierker had a seizure in the eighth inning of the Astros' game with the San Diego Padres.

Dierker had brain surgery Tuesday. Mcllvaine, a special assistant to Twins general manager Terry Ryan, was in New Orleans to scout the Triple-A Salt Lake Buzz when he had a seizure while walking in a mall with his wife. Doctors ran Mcllvaine through several tests and found no major problems, Harlin said. He hasn done as much as me. Trivia answer: Bob Pettit of the St.

Fetters to undergo surgery BALTIMORE Orioles right-handed reliever Mike Fetters will have elbow surgery to remove bone spurs from his pitching elbow and will miss six to eight weeks, Baltimore general manager Frank Wren said Tuesday night. Dr.

Lewis Yocum will operate in California later this week. "We'll know more once the surgeons know exactly what they've found," Wren said. "There are spurs in there they want to take out." Fetters, signed to a minor-league contract during the offseason, made the team out of spring training and was 1-0 with a 5.48 ERA in 20 appearances. Valentine's suspension upheld CINCINNATI The National League upheld manager Bobby Valentine's two-game suspension and $5,000 fine for returning to the New York Mets' dugout in disguise after he was ejected. Valentine was allowed to manage Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.

He'll miss the final day of a three-game series Wednesday and the opener of a series in St. Louis on Thursday. Bruce Benedict, the Mets' bench coach, will fill in for Valentine, who had anticipated that the suspension and fine would be upheld despite his appeal. i NATIONAL LEAGUE ha ha ha tot tot tot last 3 games w-l era team w-l era team ip era w-l 4-2 4.95 4-2 6-5 4.91 6-6 14.2 9 20 0-2 2-0 4 18 3-1 4-0 4 83 5-1 19.0 6.16 1-0 1-4 5.04 2-5 2-B 5.01 5FTB T5T 537 Tf3" 1-1 2 79 1-2 3-1 4.23 4-3 17.1 7.27 2-0 0-3 BOO 2-4 0-5 8.31 37 17.1 8.83 0-1 (R) 1-0 6 00 3-1 4-3 4 63 6-7 19 0 3 32 1-0 Atl Maddui (R) 3-2 4.62 4-2 5 4 4.64 7-8 21.0 5.14 1-1 2-0 4 22 4-1 4-2 4.28 7-5 17.2 3 57 2-1 1-2 3.69 1-4 6-2 3.56 5 22.1 2.01 3-2 4 80 3-2 9-3 3.96 9-4 18 0 3.50 2-1 Fla Meadows(R) 4-1 5.18 4-2 54 5.14 87 17.2 6.62 T7 1-0 2.73 3-1 4-1 392 6-4 18.1 3.93 2-0 1-1 3.93 2-1 2-2 4.89 52 190 1.89 LOS PEREZ.CIL) 0-6 7.61 0-6 2-8 7.18 2-8 14.0 9 64 1-2 (L) 0-0 0.00 0-0 1-0 1.55 TO 5.2 1.59 1-0 3-2 3.61 4-3 4-5 4.86 5-8 18.0 4.00 1-1 AMERICAN LEAGUE ha Wa ha tot tot tot last 3 games w-l era team w-l era team Ip era w-l KamRosado (L) 3-2 2.50 3-3 4-5 2.91 5-8 19.1 4.66 1-2 BALPONSON (R) 3-1 3 21 4-1 6-4 3 99 7-5 21 0 3 43 1-1 3-3 4 50 3-5 3-5 4 96 4-9 17.2 3 06 0-1 CLE COLON.B(R) 4-2 4 94 5-3 6-3 5 61 7-5 17.1 6.23 0-2 (R) 1-2 3.97 3-3 2-5 5.49 53S 19.Z 4.58 TT 0-2 11.37 0-2 0-4 11 32 0-4 11 1 5 56 0-2 Sea Moyer (L) 3-1 4.24 34 7-4 509 7-7 23.2 3.80 2-0 (R) 2-3 3 89 3-4 3-6 4 30 4-7 19 0 1.42 2-0 0-1 6 05 1-2 1-3 7.52 23 15.2 5.74 0-0 EUR) 1-0 3 86 1-1 3-0 1.91 4-1 18 0 2 00 1-0 3-4 4.18 44 5-6 4.52 84 18.2 1.45 0-1 4-3 4 10 4-3 7-5 448 7-6 18.2 241 2-1 (R) 2-2 7.71 3-5 3-3 6 35 57 16.2 8.10 0-1 (L) 4-1 3.90 4-1 7-5 4.06 7-5 17.0 3.18 2-1 Dodgers acquire infielder LOS ANGELES Infielder Craig Counsell, a World Series hero with the Florida Marlins in 1997, was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for a player to be named.

Dierker OK after surgery HOUSTON (AP) Houston Astros manager Larry Dierker is expected to make a full recovery following a 572-hour operation Tuesday that removed a life-threatening tangle of malformed blood vessels from his brain. Dierker, who collapsed Sunday when he had a seizure in Houston's dugout during a game in the Astrodome, will be hospitalized 5-10 days and will need at least four weeks to recover from the surgery. Dr. Rob Parrish said he was confident the entire vessel mass was removed from an area where a blood clot hemorrhaged. "Later this week we'll do another angiogram to make absolutely certain we got all of it out," Parrish said.

"He's awake, alert and following commands and looks quite good right now." coming here to get their knocks and fatten up their numbers." The Heat, which won the 1997 WBL championship, have now won 15 of their last 16 games to improve to a dominating 19-4 this season. The Blackjacks have now lost two in a row to fall to 1 1-13, 8.S games behind the pacesetting Heat. The Blackjacks rallied to tie the game at 2-2 with a pair of runs in the eighth inning. Justin Drizos walked, went to second on a single by Josh Kliner and stole third after getting caught off second by Chico catcher Brian Arntzen. The former Wolf Pack first baseman then scored on a wild pitch to cut Chico lead to 2-1.

Kliner later scored in the inning on a sacrifice fly by David Sanchez to tie the score. The Heat took a 1-0 lead on a home run by Hansen to start the second inning. Starter Aaron Mayer and the Blackjacks, though, fell behind 2-0 in the fifth inning as Scott singled, stole second, went to third on a bunt by Nadeau and scored on a double by Gennaro. By Joe Santoro RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL Break up the Chico Heat. Then again, it just might be too late for the rest of the teams in the Western Baseball League this season.

The best team in the WBL proved it again Tuesday night at Moana Stadium, turning a 2-2 nail-biter in the ninth inning into a 7-2 rout over the Reno Blackjacks. "The main thing is we're a team," Heat shortstop Tim Cooper said. "On any given night any one of our guys could step up and carry the burden." On Tuesday, it was Cooper who carried the burden, hitting a three-run homer in the ninth to put the game away. "It's not just two or three guys in our lineup that carry us," said Cooper, who played for the Reno Chukars in 1996. "One through nine, all our guys get on base.

You have to pitch to everybody in our lineup." Associated Press Just about everyone in the Heat lineup had a hand in putting the Blackjacks away in the ninth inning. Shawn Scott and Mike Nadeau started the inning with singles off Reno reliever Rich Linares. Linares then hit Brad Gennaro to load the bases and Jon Fuller broke the 2-2 tie with a sacrifice fly. Terrel Hansen made it 4-2 with a single and Cooper then stepped to the plate and left no doubt. "I knew it was out when I hit it," smiled Cooper.

"This is a very hitter-friendly park. Everybody likes PINEHURST, N.C. Check out the fairways, so ample and inviting that they no longer look as narrow as a hiking trail. Check out the rough, only 3 inches high and so sparse in spots that a search party isn't required to find the ball. Check out the calendar.

Is this really the third week in June? Is this really the U.S. Open? "The golf course is playing a little more friendly than I thought it would," Tiger Woods said Tuesday. "I thought the rough would be higher, the fairways narrower." Who didn't? After all, the U.S. Open has a reputation of being so difficult that it borders on unfair. The rough is supposed to be deep enough to cover shoe laces.

The fairways should require players to walk single file. Remember last year at The Olympic Club, where balls that landed in the middle of the fairway actually broke toward the rough and didnt stop until they got there? "I think the USGA recognized the fact that they made a mistake last year," Woods said. Or perhaps the USGA figured it could leave Pinehurst No. 2 the way Donald Ross designed it 92 years ago and still get what it wants the toughest test in golf. Pinehurst might not look like Olympic or Congressional, Oak-mont or Oakland Hills or Oak Hill.

"The rough is deep, but not as deep as past U.S. Opens off the edge of the fairway," Mark O'Meara said. "There's going to be times you might be able to advance your ball, maybe get it on a green. In past U.S. Opens, it was usually a sand wedge out.

"But I think the whole key is going to be, once again, management of your game, hanging in there, fighting and just staying patient." Those arc always words to live by at a U.S. Open." Then again, so is the message that Colin Montgomcrie's caddie offered during a practice round Tuesday in occasional rain. The middle of the green is a good target. "He said that 18 times today," Montgomerie said. "You've got to be patient.

If you start attacking these greens, you're in trouble." Ryan Carey Fallon Charley Gardner Ruby Valley Bruce HiH Fallon Matt Marvel Battle Mountain Glynn Montero Winnemucca IraSlagowski Carfin Joe Slagowski Carlin ters, Katie and Jamie, are both on the rodeo team at UNLV. "My year is going pretty good," he said. "I guess it could always be better." Marvel said he would like to follow in the footsteps of his dad and uncle by earning a spot in the National Finals. The Reno Rodeo will be a good test of the competition that Marvel, Slagowski and Carey will face if they make it to National Finals. Every rider in the top 20 of the world saddle bronc standings is entered.

Marvel, Carey and Slagowski will all have their first go-round Tuesday night. The Reno Rodeo opens this Saturday and continues through Sunday, June 27.

"Every one of us wants the others to win." Marvel agreed: "We're always pulling for each other. It's not you against the other riders. It's you against the Horse you're on, so you want the others to do well." Marvel, the 1996 state high school all-around champion out of Battle Mountain, is making his second trip to the Reno Rodeo. "I was there last year and did pretty good," he said. "It's a real good rodeo.

There are lots of good horses there." The 21 -year-old Marvel grew up in a rodeo' family. His dad, Mike, was among the top riders in the world in the 1970s and his uncle, Joe Marvel, was the world saddle bronc champion in 1978. His sis Rodeo From page IE wanted to get on and I was able to stay on him and get a good ride and score real well," he said. As for the Reno Rodeo, Slagows-ki is hoping for a much better showing than last year, when he was bucked off in the first go-round. "It's a real good rodeo with a lot of money," he said.

"It also has the top stock contractors, so there will be a lot of good horses." Carey, from Fallon, has won more than $12,000 this season, putting him just outside the top 20 in the world standings. He knows he can make up a lot of ground on the money leaders with a strong showing in Reno. "I'm really looking forward to Reno," the Churchill County High graduate said. "It's kind of our hometown rodeo and all my family will be there. Plus, my birthday falls on the short round." The short round is the rodeo finals and Carey would like nothing more than to celebrate his 25th birthday with a big payday.
