Friday, Paul agreed to a contract that will keep El Paso with Milwaukee for nother four years.

Yet he has made a big impact with the Diablos.

"This is the best facility in double-A baseball. We'd be foolish not to be happy here." The new deal was completed Friday. "We shook on it in about the fourth inning Friday night," Paul said. Pan! said he decided to stay with Milwaukee because of the system's past and current sue-, cess. El Paso has been to the' playoffs eight of 11 years while with Milwaukee.

By comparison, San Antonio the Dodgers' AA affiliate has only been to the playoffs three times in the same time span. "You don't get off a winning horse," Paul said. "I also looked at what the Dodgers are doing. Their major league team is getting creamed and the whole minor system is playing like .480 baseball. The Dodgers are not doing very well.

The Brewers are doing very well." Continued success is also probable. The teams in Milwaukee's system, from rookie ball to the majors, are playing at a .540 pace. The teams below El Paso, Class A Stockton, (74-47) and Beloit, (67-47) and rookie ball Helena, (37-18), are all winning. Also, Milwaukee's recent draft was rated as one of the. best in baseball.

"Our future looks extremely bright," Paul said. "Another three of four years, and there's going to be some major league talent coming through here." There are other perks the Diablos get by staying with Milwaukee. An exhibition game next year between the Brewers and Diablos at Cohen is "80 percent" certain. guy for the first time." Smith bats No. 4 in the lineup.

Pitchers can no longer pitch around the league's leading hitter Troy O'leary, who bats third. It also drops John Byington to fifth in the lineup where he seems to be more comfortable. Smith may have arrived in time to help the Diablos try to win the second half title of the Texas League's West division. Since Midland won Saturday night, El Paso remains two games behind the Angels. Midland comes to Cohen Center Monday night to begin a five7.

In his two years in professional baseball, he is 20-6 with an ERA under 3.00. He is 12-4 at Stockton this season.

Smith, 23, gives El Paso a true power hitter. He's already hit two homers for the Diablos and driven in 10 runs in seven games. "Right now, it's one of those things where I'm hot," Smith said.

"I sit here and say I can (take that "approach). I won't know until tonight.

He two-putted from there, and decided to give himself a small pep talk. "I just told myself to be patient, you've got a lot of holes ahead of you," Sauers said. He made seven straight pars before hitting a second-shot 8-iron to five feet at the 426-yard ninth hole, and made the birdie putt to get back to even for the day, and also take back sole possession of the lead from Gallagher, who had birdied at No. 8 and 9 playing just in front, of Sauers. A bogey at the 10th after a poor chip from the rough was canceled out by Sauers's 25-foot birdie putt at the 15th, and he made amends for a bogey after a botched 5-iron at the 222-yard 16th hole with his first eagle of the tournament at the 536-yard 17th.

He put his tee shot in the middle of the fairway there, and had 250 yards to the pin. His 3-wood second shot over the water landed on the fringe pin-high about 25 feet from the hole, and Sauers said there were three protruding spike marks between him and the flag when he lined up the putt.

"I just lost it," he said when he'd finished and found himself in a group of eight players at 1-over 214.

Still, he said he has not given up all hope. Sauers made it ugly on his very first hole of the day. He hit his drive in the deep left rough, and his 7-iron flew over the green and landed two inches from a cart path, with a dicey approach to the pin above his head. He was allowed relief and a free drop.
