Dixie Baseball National Police Athletic League National Amateur Baseball Federation and the host Coral Springs team While there are no overpaid players or autocratic owners not everyone is thrilled that Dent was chosen know what the thinking said Sal DeSantis who has coached winter baseball teams in Coral Springs and applied to coach the Super Series team talking about 16-year-old kids Having

himself with a gold medal around his neck last Saturday night at the US Olympic Festival in Minneapolis Urrutia the Cuban-born Hollywood resident who represented the United States in the Olympic Games proved Saturday that he is still one of this top lifters you have time to train sometimes you said Urrutia really in good shape for this but you get to the point where you just have to do Urrutia 32

720'2 pounds (total of snatch and clean-and-jerk lifts) was pounds more than his previous best Urrutia the only South Floridian at the Olympic Festival: Volleyball player Sherry Cowling (Hialeah-Miami

being talked about If and when settled it will be something we are happy said Johnson ETC FOOTBALL: Southern Mississippi quarterback Brett Favre is in stable condition in Gulfport Miss Memorial Hospital following a one-car traffic accident Favre was knocked out and remember the accident OLYMPICS: The 10th Olympic Festival which ended Sunday set records for attendance (502262) and ticket revenue ($341 million) accessible maybe Nicklaus or Watson would have popularized it but Palmer did it when most American golfers disdained the Scottish and English courses with their wheat-high rough and hard greens And he did it with his style as much as his skill a style that endeared him to the British as few Americans ever had has no fancy airs and Longhurst once wrote wears no fancy clothes He makes no fancy speeches He simply does and says exactly the right thing at the right time and that is One of those right things at the right time was slashing that 6-iron out of the rough onto the 15th green at Royal Birkdale in 1961 to hold off Dai Reese a Welshman by a stroke Perhaps no other golfer of that time would have dared that shot "I saw the opening" Palmer later explained was sure I would make it Nobody else did" Thousands have seen the plaque that commemorates that shot And thousands have seen another plaque that commemorates four of his shots: four 3-wood shots that soared out of bounds two to the right and two to the left before he putted out for a 12 on the ninth hole at Rancho Park in the 1961 Los Angeles Open Asked to describe that 12 he said: missed a 15-footer for an That was saying the right thing at the right time Just as entering that 1960 British Open was doing the right thing at the right time For himself and for golf SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT A caption in Herald incorrectly identified a gymnast in the Sunshine State Games The photo was of Michael Gillman 8 of Studio of Gymnastics Gillman won six medals including a bronze in the all-around Level IV class for 7- to 9-year-olds As for the most recent case of expulsion Vincent did not need history books He was the deputy commissioner under Bart Giamatti last year when Giamatti investigated Pete Rose and the allegations that Rose bet on baseball games Despite all the research Vincent said think much to the Steinbrenner situation in terms of the scenario Still Vincent is bound by the clause not so much to find comparisons but to see if there is culpability and if so to act Vincent said he does not feel any trepidation have never had difficulty making a Vincent said "And I think I am able as anyone to make the decision because got the facts I will make it and I will live with In the end Vincent still could add another chapter to long list of precedents and along the way change the face of the cocaine in his system when he was arrested Friday night outside a suspected drug house and that his blood alcohol level also was above the legal limit The urinalysis was designed to determine only whether Mackey had drugs in his system and did not measure how much cocaine was present Mackey pleaded innocent Monday in Cleveland Municipal Court to drunken-driving charges stemming from the incident DAVIS TO GREECE: Forward Antonio Davis the top selection of the Indiana Pacers in the NBA draft will play in Greece next season Coach Dick Versace said The 6-9 Davis a second-round pick who averaged 108 points and 75 rebounds as a senior for Tex-as-El Paso was the 45th overall selection CYCLING leg crucial The Tour de France may be decided on the final ascent to Luz Ardiden in the Pyrenees during DAVID WALTERS Miami Herald Staff read a list of the unsigned players Think about trying to negotiate with all of them The Dolphins signed four free agents Monday linebacker Mike Peterson wide receiver Ricardo Cartwright kicker Sam Flores and punter Bret Holley The tearti waived kicker Brian Lowe and punter Vince Mazza Two of the signed free agents have spent time in Fish camp Cartwright last year and Flores in 1985 Holley stick with Kansas City last season and Peterson was invited to the New York camp in 1989 but also got cut No slogan this year It looks like the "Silver Season" is about all on the agenda for catchy names this season Shula coined the phrase Turnaround Time last year but labeling 1990 not a slogan kind of Shula said The players who have reported will tackle one of Camp nemeses today Players have to run as far as they can in 12 minutes around the two practice fields at St Thomas Each mileage goal is different The run begins at 6:45 am About 200 fans withstood the scalding heat to watch the Dolphins run through 105 minutes of drills They broke into sustained applause only once when Andre Brown made a juggling catch over the middle Safety Bobby Harden a 12th-round pick out of the University of Miami has an injured shoulder here and not sure what his status Shula said home on Cape Cod in Massachusetts where he will make his decision I figure out pretty much what I want to do then test it out on my Those include Dowd Steve Greenberg the deputy commissioner acting liaison and Harold Tyler Jr a former federal judge who is in charge of proceedings Still judgment is the ultimate one I ask Steve and John and the judge to join me on Thursday or Friday have a pretty good idea what I want to the commissioner added As Dowd looked into recent events during the investigation Vincent vigorously pursued the information from yesteryear Judge Landis and Tuenty-Five Years of Baseball History by JG Taylor Spink the biography of first commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis was published in 1947 and proved difficult to find Although Reggie first professional basketball season what he hoped for Cross who starred at South Plantation Dade-North and the University of Hawaii had an experience he soon forget After being drafted in 1989 and released by the Philadelphia 76ers Cross played for the Hapoal Haifa team in Israel was very nice and I really enjoyed said Cross who at 6-8 and 245 pounds averaged about 30 points and 14 rebounds Life in Israel proved different Cross said he never developed a taste for falafel and his two children had to wait until afternoon to watch cartoons on television Cross plans to attend the Orlando Magic camp beginning July 25 (If Cross makes the team his children will be pleased to know Mickey and the gang are nearby) Sue players from Palm Beach County and four from Broward are part of the USAFlorida All-Star team that will tour Guatemala Aug 13-18 The team is coached by Walt Jominy and includes Midget Saunders (South Broward High) Kim Sobol (Miramar) Petie Karcz (Taravella) and Rachel Jominy daughter from Westminster Academy) ANDERSON FROM ID die Tip Anderson stood by quietly Palmer finally said "where is that 160 miles south of the caddie replied The plaque was on the 15th hole at Royal Birkdale in England not on the 15th hole at Troon in Scotland where Palmer won the 1962 British Open In the confusion he had accepted the mistake But when the 60-year-old Palmer tees off Thursday at St Andrews a plaque should be embedded there to commemorate how he more than any other golfer magnified the prominence of oldest tournament is my last British he has said me a sentimental journey back to St Andrews 30 years to the day of my first British But for golf a reminder that until Arnold Palmer the British Open was mostly for British golfers Walter Hagen Bobby Jones Sam Snead and Ben Hogan had won it more as a curio that was never quite part of the tour But when Palmer then the best golfer won it every other American golfer with a sense of history knew he now had to win it As it turned out Jack Nicklaus has won it three times Tom Watson five times Lee Trevino twice Mark Cal-cavecchia Johnny Miller Tom Weiskopf Bill Rogers and the late Tony Lema each won it once But until Palmer arrived at St Andrews after having won the Masters and the US Open in 1960 golf people also had never thought much about someone sweeping the British Open and the Professional Golfers Association championship in the same year With his bid Palmer embellished two phrases: major championships and a grand slam of the four major titles for touring pros top Palmer explained at the time like to leave the rich American tour for an event which offers a first prize of only about $3500 miss tournaments worth $100000 but I care I got into this business primarily to win championships Money is important to me certainly but money just helps make it possible for me to go after the big Palmer lost that British Open by a stroke to Kel Nagle an Australian pro Since then only one other golfer has arrived at the British Open with a grand-slam chance Jack Nicklaus in 1982 at Muirfield where his final-round 66 left him one stroke behind Trevino But no matter who wins the Masters each year he is asked the obligatory question: What about the elusive grand slam?
