A 31,215 Despite 68, Magee Ulisses Nike Cut HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Chad Magee, a Tyler resident, missed the cut by one stroke Friday at the $200,000 Nike Alabama Classic at Cherokee Ridge Country Club. Magee shot a 4-under-par 68 for a two-day total of 142. Tim Loustalot and Tom Shaw were tied for the lead at 134. Junior Breaks April IIR Mark TORONTO (AP) Ken Griffey Jr.

hit three home runs Friday night to break the major' league record for homers in April with 13, powering the Seattle Mariners to a 13-8 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Griffey's second homer, a solo shot in the seventh off Roger Clemens, gave him 12 homers in April, breaking the record of 11 that he had tied earlier in the night and shared with six others. Then in the eighth; Griffey connected for his 13th homer, this one fcff reliever Mike Timlin to give the Mariners a' 13-7 lead. The major-league record for' homers in one month is 18, set by Detroit's Rudy York in August 1937. It was Griffey's third career three-homer game and his first since May 24, 1996 against New York.

Russ Davis hit a two-run, pinch-hit homer and Alex Rodriguez also homered for the Mariners. Griffey's night overshadowed a two-homer game by Shawn Green and a grand slam by Carlos Delga-do, the first of his career. Davis' fourth home run of the season in the eighth off Dan Plesac (0-2) put the Mariners ahead 8-7. Bobby Ayala (2-0) got the win in relief of Dennis Martinez.

Ray Barnes; 7A Allen Bell. Greg Tankersley. Dan Toney. Cary Heavy rain forced the postponement of Friday's scheduled baseball game between Robert E. Lee and John Tyler at Mike Carter Field.

The District 12-5 A contest has been rescheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday at the same location. Tyler Independent School District athletic director Billy Hall will assess the condition of the field at 10 a.m. Saturday. If the field is still too wet, the.

game will take place at either 5 or 6 p.m. Monday. John Tyler (9-16, 1-8) has already been eliminated from the race, but the Lions could still spoil the Red Raiders' plans. Lee (16-10, 5-4) is locked in a tie with Lufkin (17-8, 5-4) for third place. Nacogdoches is in first place with only two district losses, while Marshall is in second with three losses.

Three teams from each district qualify for the playoffs. The Lufkin at Nacogdoches game was rescheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, while the Marshall at Longview game will be played at 6 p.m. Monday. The Lions stunned the Red Raiders the first time the two teams met this season, rolling to a 9-1 victory.

If John Tyler can pull off another upset and Lufkin manages to beat Nacogdoches, Lee will be eliminated from the playoff T3C-Navarro CORSICANA Tyler Junior College's baseball doubleheader against Navarro College has been postponed until noon Monday at Perry D. Graham Field in Corsi-cana, Apaches coach Jon Groth said. The Apaches are currently in fourth place, one-half game ahead of Texarkana Community College, in the Texas Eastern Athletic Conference with a 15-10 record (29-16 overall).

He'd be out there on the field doing something and the next thing you would know, he might be in the stands with the crowd. "1 hear people say now black people didn't attend barn-bull games back then, but that's wrong. There were times when we would play in front of 20,000 people." Blair is happy to see bnnphall honoring Robinson this year. After all, the move opened the door for others to get their opportunity in Major League Baitebult. Although Bluir admires the former Brooklyn Dodger, he believes Major League Baseball missed out on the bent player Boll.

"Cool Papa Bell should have been the first, because he was definitely the best player," Blair said.

It is conceivable that Lee and T.iifkin r-nnld finish in a three-wav tie, which can only happen if Le nnrl T.nfkin win their games am) Marshall loses its final game. Under that scenario, Lufkin would automatically claim the second playoff berth because it won a coin flip last week with the other two teams. Lee and Marshall would then square off in district playoff for the third playoff spot. Lee could find itself in a tie for second place if it beats John Tyler and both Marshall and Lufkin lose their final games. In that scenario), Lee and Marshall would both claim playoff berths but would meet in a district playoff to see which team would go to the play1 offs as the district runner-up ana which would go as the third-place team.

DIE Monday TJC, chasing one of the fotfr playoff spots, has a 7-4 record on the road in conference. Navarro has lost only once at home this sea-i son. The Apaches won a doublehead' er Wednesday against Paris without five suspended players. Shortstop Michael Montemayor, pitcher-' outfielder Cody Sundbeck, design nated hitter Ray Dorsett and pitchy ers Paco Escamilla and Brian Castillo are expected to play against Navarro after serving two-game suspensions for breaking team rules.

He would toll you before a game, I don't think I can play. My knees hurt so When the game started, he went out there and ran all over the field. "He wasn't a power hitter, but he got on base. If he hit a grounder to the infield, you might as well just throw the ball back to the pitcher, because he was going to beat it out with his speed. he would have ployed in the Major Leagues, he would have stolen 2,000 bases.

He was a great player and a gentleman."
