The playoffs moved to Boston, where the Red Sox won the next two games to advance to the World Series. They lost to the New York Mets in seven games. Pinter said Moore never stopped blaming himself for the team's failure to get into the World Series and was frequently depressed.

Steve Stone, a 1975 teammate of Moore with the Chicago Cubs, said Moore may have been especially tormented by the end of his athletic career. "In some players minds, it ends a little too soon. I can't possibly try to Interpret the motivations and what brought Donnie Moore to his decision to end his life, but I would have thought that it had to be something outside of just the fact that he couldn't throw the baseball any longer," Stone said. Moore had his best year as a relief pitcher in 1965 when he had 31 saves and finished 57 games, both team records. Nagged by injuries, he pitched in just 14 games for the Angels in 1987, his last major league season.

Moore, a native of Lubbock, Texas, also played for the Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves during a 13-year career. He played in seven games with the Omaha Royals this season and had a 1-2 record with a 6.39 ERA in 12 innings before he was released on June 12. ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Donnie Moore's career and marriage were crumbling and he was tormented by the pitch that denied his team a spot in the 1986 World Series, friends said.

Moore, 35, wounded his wife during an argument at their home Tuesday and then fatally shot himself in the head, police Lt. Marc Hedgpath said. The couple's three children, ages 17, 10 and 7, were not harmed. Tonya Moore, 35, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but was upgraded overnight to serious, said Kaiser Permanente Hospital spokeswoman Donna Donan-Drasner. Moore's attorney, Randall Johnson, said in a telephone interview that Mrs.

Moore was shot in the abdomen, neck and right shoulder. She regained consciousness and was able to talk with family members, he said. The California Angels released Moore in 1968. He was plagued by injuries during his final years in the majors, and a comeback attempt ended with his release last month from the Kansas City Royals' Class AAA minor league team in Omaha, Neb. "He was out of a job and so that created some turmoil in the marriage," Johnson said.

The attorney said the couple's argument occurred, during a discussion about selling their home, but he did not know what actually set off the dispute. -Johnson said Moore had put the house up for sale and hoped to land a job with the Houston Astros that would return him to his native Texas. Moore's agent, Dave Pinter, said the couple separated about one month ago, after 16 years of marriage. Neighbors told police arguments were common. Pinter and former teammate Brian Downing of the Angels said Moore never got over allowing a home run to Dave Henderson of the Boston Red Sox in Game 5 of the 1986 American League playoffs.

The Angels and Moore were one strike away from winning the AL pennant when Henderson hit a two-run homer to put the Red Sox ahead. The Red Sox stole the momentum with that homer and went on to win the game in 11 innings. "Everything revolved around one pitch," Downing said in a somber Angels' clubhouse In Toronto Tuesday, where players were told of Moore's death after a 1-0 victory over the Blue Jays. "You (reporters) destroyed a man's life over one pitch. The guy was just not the same after that," Downing said.

"1 never ever saw the guy be credited for getting us to the playoffs because all you ever heard about, all you ever read about, was one pitch." Moore, pitching in Game 5 of the American League playoffs despite a sore right shoulder, had a 5-4 lead going into the ninth inning. The Angels were ahead three games to one in the best-of-seven playoffs. With two outs and two strikes on Henderson, Moore threw a forkball that Henderson hit for a two-run homer that gave the Red Sox a 6-5 lead.

(AP) The NFL, for instance, has played several games on London's hallowed soccer pitch, Wembley Stadium, and also staged a contest in Sweden. Too, weekly film packages of NFL games have been big sellers on Europe's burgeoning television system.

The only question now is when the league will kick off its first 10-game season. Some NFL owners are looking ahead to the spring of 1991, but Tex Schramm, the former Dallas Cowboys president who will run American professional football, something of a cult sport in Europe, is set to carve out a permanent niche in the land where soccer is king. By a 27-0 vote the Chicago Bears abstained (lie NFL approved on Wednesday the formation of the World League of American Football. For the first time, American football teams will be based in Europe, which over the last few years has shown signs of embracing the game.

Dan Rooney of Pittsburgh, chairman of the steering committee overseeing the new league, suggested 1991 is a more realistic starting date. "We're looking no farther than that," he said. "That doesn't rule out 1990, but we have a lot of work to do." Schramm, who has been touring prospective sites, said one problem is reaching television agreements in Europe, which has no one network. He said that even if the league is sold to Eurovision, a continent-wide outfit, it would have to convince stations in each country to take the games. Another problem is the length of a game.

"They want two-hour blocs," Schramm said. "They don't have three-hour sporting events On the other hand, there seems to be little question that some combination of regular and cable television networks in the United States will carry games. ABC and NBC, which are losing baseball to CBS next year, are the likely candidates, although Schramm said all three major networks have expressed an interest. The European teams are expected to be based in London, Frankfurt, Milan and Barcelona. Montreal and Mexico City will represent Canada and Mexico, with New York a sure U.S.

franchise. The others will come from a group that includes Nashville, San Antonio, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Birming--ham and one of two cities in California, San Jose or Sacramento. THE GREATEST MEN'S SALE EVER ASK ANYONE! ENTIRE STOCK MEN'S SUITS SPRTCATS Crunch's concerns were put to rest when team doctors conferred with doctors at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Keith was a two-time all-conference selection at UNLV. The only problem Keith said he had in Las Vegas was caused by his pacemaker, which would kick on when his heart rate dropped below 55 beats a minute.

He still uses the pacemaker. "I've had a lot of problems with the pacemaker," he said. "It would come on in the middle of the night and I'd have to do jumping jacks to get my heart rate back up so I could sleep." Keith said he is looking forward to playing with Cleveland's expansion team and said he's ready for the quicker, faster indoor style of play.

Simon Keith, 24, was selected by the Cleveland Crunch as the fust pick in the draft July B. He has a heart transplanted from a 17-year-old who died of a brain aneurysm while playing soccer in Wales. Keith celebrated the third anniversary of his transplant the night before the draft. In a collegiate all-star game at Wichita, Keith scored a goal, had two assists and was selected most valuable offensive player. Keith, a forward, plays down the transplant, saying many people receive them regularly.

He said he would rather be known for hisi athletic ability. proud to be myself," he said at training camp Wednesday. "I'm a soccer player first." George Hamilton, chairman of the Crunch, indicated he was impressed with Keith's performance on the field. "We had watched him play, and my people thought he was the best player in Wichita," Hamilton said. "Then they said, 'By the way, he had a heart I thought they were kidding me." The heart transplant was necessary after a cold Keith had in 1964 developed into viral myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.

Hamilton said the team asked Keith to sign a waiver exempting the Crunch from liability in the event of his death on the field. But he said the LEVI JEANS 29 Woltl All Ungth.
