Canseco To Plead No Contest Oakland Athletics' slugger Jose Canseco, the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1988, will plead no contest to gun charges, according to one of his attorneys.

"He's not going to fight the courts," attorney Michael Stepanian said after a closed-door conference with Municipal Judee J. Doml- j5 nique Olcomendy in San Francisco. "He's got the pennant to fight for."

McLean acknowledged that State officials had learned that at least one player had sold tickets but said the university had put a stop to it. "I think there was a situation where somebody did that and they took the tickets away and that was handled through the NCAA," he said.

"I'm sure you can get a record of that. Yeah, I'm sure there's a record of that through the NCAA." But a review of correspondence between the school and the NCAA showed no report by the university that it had discovered players had sold complimentary tickets. Bolton and Binns said in separate interviews that to some games especially before Atlantic Coast Conference tournaments McLean approached players and asked whether they were using all their complimentary tickets. "McLean would say, if you all don't have anyone coming to the games, we can get rid of the tickets for you," Binns said. "He wouldn't take care of the transaction.

He'd give you the name and number of people to call. It was as easy as it could be." Binns said he never sold his tickets but used them for family and friends instead. Bolton's tickets were sold, however, Asked why he never was paid for the valuable tournament tickets, Bolton replied "I don't know. It beats me."

Neither player took many risks in the first set as Chang grabbed a 5-0 lead by playing safe, top-spinning groundstrokes and letting Chesnokov commit the errors. Chesnokov won just 12 points as Chang captured the first set in 28 minutes. The crowd briefly turned against Chang when he protested a line call in the first game of the second set. When Chesnokov hit a shot near the backline, Chang stopped playing and motioned to chair umpire Jean-Philippe Merlet to inspect the mark.

Merlet overruled in Chang's favor and he went on to break for a 1-0 lead. When Chang came out after the changeover, the crowd of 14,500 greeted him with a chorus of whistles. "I don't think the crowd was mad at me," Chang said. "I think they were a little bit angry at the linesman because of the way the calls went. They want to see a fair match." passing shot sailed wide.

Chang rushed the net again on the second set point. This time the Soviet missed a forehand pass. Faced with a third set point, Chang took the initiative again, closing out the point by smacking an overhead. "I didn't play badly," said Chesnokov, who ousted defending champion Mats Wilander in the quarterfinals. "But I'm not happy because I didn't win the big points and the set points.

I made short shots and Chang took the risks. I should have taken, the risks instead." Chang's clay court coach, former Spanish Davis Cup player Jose Higueras, said he isn't surprised. "He has the head of a champion," Higueras said. "The head is the most important thing in tennis, and he has it. Basically that's the basis of his success.

"I think the champion raises his game for the occasion. That's basically what Michael does. When the big points come along, he plays his f) From Page 1C should be OK for Sunday." Chang triumphed Friday because he won most of the big points, especially by taking chances and coming to the net when Chesnokov hit short. By contrast, the 23-year-old Soviet rarely ventured to net and let -himself be manipulated in crucial moments. "I went in relaxed because I had gone further than expected," Chang said.

"I was ready to wait for each point It was a tough match. Each point was really close. The exhanges were very long. It's the type of match you're really happy to pull out." Chang staved off three set points while serving at 4-5 in the third set, each time by going on the attack. On the first, he cracked a backhand approach shot, charged the net and watched as Chesnokov's backhand particular hole." Pat Bradley scored 24 points after she bogeyed her final hole.

"If things aren't going so well, just try to stay relaxed, don't press and try to play golf.

I really don't think anybody really knows what to do." Blackwelder had two points at the turn after bogeying her second hole and sinking a 10-foot putt for birdie at the par-5 sixth hole.

Fuller said even a watered-down area around first base in a series at Myrtle Beach didn't slow down the team. "It was real wet, but we still won four out of five, so that tells you something. Teams know we're going to run, and if we get on, it's really disruptive to the pitchers and the infield defense. It makes the game a lot of fun." ing runners close or throwing the ball away.

It disrupts the team's defense, and that's always to our advantage." Now that the word is out about the Tourists' thieves, Coveney has had to alter his strategy of running at will as other clubs have made adjustments. "Earlier in the year, I had the OK to steal when I wanted," Lamphere said. "But lately, the other teams are cracking down by pitching out a lot and throwing to the base more often, so you have to pick your FAIHER'S DAY OPEN HOUSE June 16th 17th Free Refreshments!

LEONARD HERNS 2 JUNE 12, 1989 y- The Tourists have already swiped 167 bases for the season and are on a pace not only to shatter the league record of 335 (set by the '87 Tourists), but could surpass an incredible 400 steals in a 140-game season. A pair of bookend pesky hitters who serve as the table-setters, Fuller (.283) and Lamphere have allowed Ansley (.312) to feast on fast-balls that are constantly thrown to lessen the chance of a successful steal. "Having us bat next to each other at the top of the order has been a real advantage," Ansley said. "With Harry and Larry getting on aU the time, I'm getting better pitches to hit.

"Whenever you're stealing bags, you're going to make some things happen. When those guys steal, they are getting into scoring position, which gives you a lot of chances for an RBI." With mediocre pitching and an absence of power hitting, Coveney said the Tourists must run to win. "The risk can't exceed the advantage if you're going to try and steal, you have to be pretty sure you can make It. We've got the guys who can steal bases, so we're going to do It." The Tourists' success ratio t. hovers around 75 percent, which Coveney says helps the team be ag-' gresslve In other areas.

"It's not only stealing, but It leads Into taking that 1 extra base, going from first to third, trying to score from second on a hard-hit ball, or trying to score from first on a hit when the throw goes Into second Instead of home.
