Fetters on DL: The Brewers placed relief pitcher Mike Fetters on the disabled list with a pulled groin muscle and recalled reliever Darren Holmes from Denver. Fetters has a 1-0 record and has not allowed an earned run in seven appearances.

Robin Yount had two hits and two runs batted in, giving him 2,901 career hits. The loss went to Dan Plesac (2-2). "I had good stuff warming up in the bullpen, but that -doesn't mean a thing," said Plesac, who gave up six hits and four walks in five innings. "My last few starts, I had good stuff. But not tonight.

It was a struggle from the start." Molitor singled, Pat Listach tripled and Yount singled to give the Brewers a 2-0 lead before Young recorded an out. The Royals bounced back with three in the bottom of the first, McRey-nolds drawing a bases-loaded walk first inning," the 32-year-old lefthander said. "I was fortunate to get out of there with only two runs." It was the fifth straight loss for the Brewers and the fourth victory in five games for Kansas City. The Royals, hoping desperately to keep a modest hot streak alive following their 1-16 start, had the bullpen stirring before Young got his first out. But Young (1-1) lasted 5Va innings, giving up 10 hits and three runs and running his career mark against the Brewers to 7-0.

"He did an outstanding job after a rocky start," Royals Manager Hal McRae said. "He made good pitches when he had to make good pitches, and that's what good pitchers do.

Docter in touch with emotions Heart at heart of America3 ill jr. (fi fCc jXJ fJ 4. Mary Docter sat in the sunshine near the visitors' bullpen at Warner Park Thursday around noon and looked at ease with herself. She had just signed her 50th autograph, wished her admirer well and laughed that the student will probably throw the signature away within hours. Mary Docter, the only Madisonian to ever appear in four Olympics, is not impressed with who she is.

But Docter likes who she is these days and doesn't mind telling you or the 1,200 high school and elementary students who listened to her at the Madison Area School Drug Awareness Day before the Madison Muskies baseball game. "I remember the COMMENTARY last time I came to SAN DIEGO (AP) A poster shows a big sailboat rising from a yellow wheatfield instead of blue water. It's a sign of the Midwestern roots of the Heart of America campaign for the 1987 America's Cup. A sea of red ink or a bowl of brown molasses might be more appropriate. Strapped by a lack of money and speed, Heart of America fared poorly in the competition in Australia.

It failed to qualify for the challenger semifinals to pick one boat to battle the Aussies for the Cup. The Heart of America crew that flopped in Fremantle now is the heart of the America crew that is succeeding in San Diego. The best-of-seven finals between America' and II Moro di Venezia of Italy begin Saturday. The experience and knowledge gained on Heart of America is paying off on America" (America Cubed). "We learned tons," Dave Del-lenbaugh, tactician on both boats, said.

"The first time that you do a campaign it's a new thing. You're willing to just do it in any way you can because you learn so much. "When you do the second one, you want to do it better or do it Please turn to 5E, Col. I a game here," she said. "I did cocaine all the way from the West Side to the East Side.

It was suggested to her that it was ironic she was the lecturer and not the one to be lectured on drugs Thursday when she corrected the questioner.

"I didn't have anyone to lecture me," said Docter. "I was never sat down by anyone who said, 'You are screwing up your life, Mary. You have so much potential, but you are wrecking your life With Then, when I was 30 years old, someone told me I should get help. Thankfully, someone got to me." Docter has never had problems expressing herself, whether it was after winning a bronze medal at the world speedskating championships or whether it was in her preparations for the Olympics. She was flaky and colorful and always refreshingly honest.

"It was my image and I think I thrived on that image," said Docter. "That was part of the game to me. It gave me a sense of I can have it all. I can be a party animal and a world-class athlete. And when I went back to school, I wanted to prove I could do all three.

But my lifestyle was taking away important things from my potential and from other parts of my life, like my family." She finally got help for her problem in Center City, in March 1991. Just 11 months later, she was competing in the Olympics and told the world of her troubles with drugs and alcohol. And she was not afraid to chastise some media members in Albertville, France, in February for incorrectly reporting that she had skated stoned in the 1988 Olympics. Now that she's retired from skating and preparing to return to the University of Wisconsin to finish her degree as a physicians' assistant, Docter is still talking tough. This time it's about substance abuse.

"A lot of people wonder why I like telling people I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict, but I'm so proud of myself, it's like I'm bragging," said Docter who said she received over 1,000 letters of support during the Olympics. Docter didn't talk down to the students. She spoke from the heart and told them there was a time when she was doing drugs or getting drunk every single day. She hoped they wouldn't give in to such things because peers suggested it. "This wasn't about drug prevention as much as drug education," said Docter, beaming beneath a Muskies cap after only uws.

YY ffi'wm f-W It 1 L. Mark Murphy LeRoy Butler Report: Bell with Packers GREEN BAY (AP) Green Bay Packers strong safety Mark Murphy, an 11-year veteran, said Thursday that the Packers would announce his release today. Murphy, 34, who led the Packers in tackles the last four seasons, told former teammate John Anderson, who works for a Milwaukee television station, that he was given the option of being released or staying on as a third stringer. Murphy said he felt he could play one more year and wanted to be released so he could find another team. Murphy's announcement signalled lineup changes under new Coach Mike Holmgren as the Packers prepared for a weekend minicamp.

the Packers added free agent Sebastian Barrie, a 273-pound defensive end out of Liberty University, to the more than 80 players who were expected for the workouts. The minicamp was described as an opportunity for Holmgren to experiment. General Manager Ron Wolf said LeRoy Butler, who worked 16 games at right cornerback last year, will practice at strong safety. That would make room for first-round draft choice Terrell Buckley. Wolf said Butler seems to be the sort who "can play every position in the secondary.

He can play both corners. He can play strong safety. I don't know that he can play free safety but I think he'd be fine there, too." Right tackle Tony Mandarich has already prepped for working at right guard. Green Bay planned to try 10-year veteran Tootie Robbins, acquired in an off-season trade with Phoenix, at right tackle. her second public speaking engagement State Journal staff Halfback Greg Bell, the two-time rusher and former Pro Bowl selection who sat out the 1991 season, has reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with the Green Bay Packers.

Agent Steve Feldman told the Milwaukee Journal that the 5-foot-10, 210-pound Bell, who will turn 30 Aug. 1, will report for the Packers' minicamp today. The move reunites Bell with Green Bay running backs Coach Gil Haskell, who held the same position with the Los Angeles Rams when Bell ran for 1,212 yards and 16 touchdowns in 1988 and 1,137 yards and 15 TDs in 1989. "I think he will stun you," Feldman said. "I don't have any doubt he'll be the same running back he was with the Rams." Bell was dealt in June 1990 to the Los Angeles Raiders, where he shared time with Marcus Allen.

He rushed for 53 yards in 18 carries in the 1991 preseason, but the Raiders loaded with Allen, Roger Craig and Nick Bell released Bell after he was slowed by an ankle injury. Green Bay also signed free agent Tim Rother, a 6-7, 280 pound offensive tackle who spent three injury-plagued seasons with the Raiders and was on the roster of the World League's New York-New Jersey Knights. Rother joins Bell and Wilson as former Raiders signed by General Manager Ron Wolf, a Raiders em- ployee for 24 years. It's doubtful No. 1 pick Terrell Buckley, the flashy cornerback from Florida State, will partici-i pate in minicamp workouts.

Agent Carl Poston said Buckley, the fifth pick overall, will only attend classroom sessions unless a in-; jury-protection pact is signed. "I don't want to run the risk of him getting injured prior to a con-. tract," Poston said. She is looking forward to giving tne commencement address at her alma mater, Madison Memorial. Bet that shell speak as Docter always does, with refreshing honesty.
