C2 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2005 Sports SALINA JOURNAL -J CE CO 0 Q. LU 0 CE DC U. CO LU Gordon up for Thorpe Award OKLAHOMA CITY Southern Califoi-- nia's Darnell Bing and Texas' Michael Huff and Kansas' Charles Gordon are among 12 players selected as semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award on Tuesday. The candidates for the award, given each year to the nation's best college defensive back, also include Ohio's Dion Byrum, who leads the nation with six interceptions, Alabama's Roman Harper and Georgia's Greg Blue. The other semifinalists are Darrel Brooks of Arizona, Tye Hill of Clemson, LaRon Landry of LSU, Brandon Merriweather of Miami Jimmy Williams of Virginia Tech and Alan Zemaitis of Penn State.

Three finalists will be chosen Nov. 21, and the winner will be announced Dec. 8 at the college football awards show in Orlando, Fla. St. Joe adds minor-league team ST.

JOSEPH, Mo. The American Association of Independent Professional Baseball has confirmed that the final member in the newly formed minor league will be located in this northwest Missouri community League president Dan Moushon said Monday that St. Joseph will play in the North Division of the 10-team league, along with former Northern League members from St. Paul, Lincoln, Sioux Falls, S.D.; and Sioux City Iowa. The other members, which were announced last month, are located in Shreve- port, Pensacola, and the Texas cities of Fort Worth, El Paso and Robstown.

Those teams will make up the Southern Division. Moushon said the league will play a 96- game schedule beginning in May Though the 66-year-old Phil Welch Stadium in St. lacks adequate locker facilities, Moushon didn't see that as a stumbling block. "There have been other situations where teams didn't have locker rooms," Moushon said. "We can bring in some nice modulars to serve as locker rooms.

I would envision that being the case here." Roethlisberger out vs. Browns PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won't play for the second week in a row as he recovers from arthroscopic knee surgery Charlie Batch, who made his first start in four years in a 20-10 victory last Sunday in Green Bay will go again Sunday night against the Cleveland Browns in Pittsburgh. After Roethlisberger had surgery last week to remove damaged cartilage from his right knee, coach Bill Cowher said he would be out 10 to 14 days but might return as early as this week. Batch was 9-of-16 for 65 yards and was intercepted once against the Packers after previously throwing only eight passes since joining the Steelers in 2002. Batch moved up from No.

3 on the depth chart after former starter Tommy Maddox threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in a 23-17 overtime loss to Jacksonville on Oct. 16. Saints sign veteran Thomas NEW ORLEANS The New Orleans Saints signed veteran running back Anthony Thomas on Tuesday Thomas, a fifth-year player, appeared in five games this season for the Cowboys before becoming expendable with the emergence of rookies Marion Barber and Tyson Thompson. He has rushed for 3,412 career yards on 894 attempts with 21 touchdowns. In addition, he has 74 catches for 514 yards.

Thomas compiled a pair of rushing seasons in four years with Chicago before signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys. To make room for Thomas on the roster, the Saints waived safety Siddeeq Shabazz. Cubs re-sign INF Perez CHICAGO Infielder Neifi Perez and the Chicago Cubs agreed Tuesday to a $5 million, two-year contract. "1 did my job last year, and I was hoping to stay in Chicago," Perez said during a conference call. "I'm so happy right now." The 32-year-old Perez, who became a free agent Oct.

31, hit .274 with nine homers and 54 RBIs last season. He had 44 multihit games and hit in 14 straight from May 23 to June 5. Since signing with the Cubs as a minor league free agent in August 2004, Perez has hit .284 with 38 doubles, 11 homers and 60 RBIs in 177 games. Coming through 'My' The Associated Press Kobe Bryant finished with 37 points, topping the 30-point for the fourth straight game, as the beat the Hawks 103-97 on Tuesday.
