0 00 0 0 0 0 -000 0 0 000 0 0 Court says no to Rose By JOHN NOLAN Associated Press CINCINNATI Pete Rose's attempt to appeal the decision that moved his suit against Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti into federal court was denied Thursday, setting the stage for a hearing on his request for a preliminary injunction. A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously rejected Rose's petition to appeal U.S. District Judge John D.

Holschuh's July 31 ruling that kept Rose's lawsuit in Holschuh's court. The circuit court said it found no reason to support the request filed by lawyers for the Cincinnati Reds manager. "Nothing we could do at this time would materially advance the ultimate termination of this litigation," justices Ralph B. Guy, Alan E. Norris and Danny J.

Boggs wrote in their four-page opinion. Rose had filed suit in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court and Judge Norbert A. Nadel on June 25 issued a temporary restraining order that prevented Giamatti for hearing charges that Rose gambled on his own team. Giamatti's lawyers transferred the case to federal court on July 3 and Holschuh rejected Rose's attempt to return it to state court in his hometown. Rose would be suspended for life from baseball if he is found to have bet on Reds' games.

He says he is innocent. "I'm grateful for the expeditious handling of the appeal by the sixth circuit," Giamatti said in a statement, "and I look forward to the resolution of this matter in district court so that I may then have my hearing." Holschuh originally had scheduled to preliminary injunction hearing, for Monday but postponed it, saying he would await the appeals court's ruling. Holschuh also stopped Giamatti from holding a hearing on the gambling charges, also pending the circuit court's ruling. Holschuh now will set a new date for the preliminary injunction hearing. Rose wants to have Giamatti removed from the case, claiming the commissioner has prejudged him.

The appellate judges said the appeal Rose sought was not appropriate. because the court concluded that Holschuh had properly applied settled legal principles about federal-state court jurisdiction in the case. Paladins' DeBusk sustains shoulder injury GREENVILLE Furman's starting quarterback Frankie DeBusk sustained a shoulder injury during the Paladins' first day of workouts in pads. Despite the injury, coach Jimmy Satterfield was upbeat in his assessment of the drills. DeBusk sustained a bruised joint in his right shoulder during the morning session and missed the afternoon drills.

DeBusk is expected to miss a week of practice. The Paladins will work twice today today and scrimmage Saturday at Paladin Stadium at 2 p.m. South Carolina South Carolina put on pads for the first time and coach Sparky Woods GOLF SCOREBOARD INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT Point totals after Thursday's round of the $1 million International golf tournament, being played on par72 Castle Pines Golf Club course (scoring is based on modified Stableford system awarding 8 points for double eagle, 5 for eagle, 2 for birdie, zero for par, minus-1 for bogey and minus-3 for double bogey or worse): Wayne Westner 16 Nick Price 12 Bill Britton Brad Fabel Bob Gilder Steve Elkington Corey Pavin Doug Tewell Lee Trevino Craig Stadler Joey Sindelar Gary Hallberg Dan Forsman Robert Tom Purtzer Steve Pate Wayne Grady Raymond Floyd Jack Nicklaus CO Mac O'Grady Chip Beck Jim Carter Rocco Mediate Billy Ray Brown Brian Tennyson Tom Watson Hale Irwin Donnie Hammond David Frost Lon Hinkle Billy Andrade Gil Morgan Ed Humenik Bruce Soulsby Steen Tinning Ted Schulz Tim Norris Larry Rinker Steve Jones John Mahaffey Clark Burroughs Don Reese Joel Edwards Bill Glasson Peter Jacobsen Kenny Knox Bob Estes Fred Funk 6 PRACTICE BRIEFS was pleased with the day's work. "This group comes to work hard every day," Wood said. A few Gamecocks, including starting running back Harold Green and defensive end Corey Miller, missed Thursday's practice due to flu.

Linebacker Shannon Jones was at practice in street clothes and said he could return to the team as early as today. Jones' scholarship was not renewed after an incident in Five Points earlier this year. Wofford SPARTANBURG The Terriers worked out in pads Scoring By BOB GREEN Associated press CASTLE ROCK, Colo. Doug Tewell may have the inside track on solving the peculiar format that confused and mystified some of golf's leading pros Thursday in the first round of the International tournament. "You find yourself thinking, 'Now what is it I'm trying to do'?" veteran Hale Irwin said.

"I've never been in this situation before. It's a peculiar feeling," said Nick Price of Zimbabwe. Craig Stadler may have put it in focus when he walked off the 18th green at the Castle Pines Golf Club and said: "I don't know what I shot. And I don't care." His attitude is understandable in an event where medal scores don't count, the lead through the first three days of play is completely meaningless and Tewell figured out a way he may be able to make a double bogey work to his advantage. The tournament uses a modified Stableford scoring system in which a player's medal score has no bearing.

Points are awarded for eagles (5) and birdies (2) and points are subtracted for bogeys (-1) and double bogeys and higher (-3). Only the player's point total counts. Previously, the field was cut after each round and there was no carryover of point totals from one round to another. This year, however, the 150-man Mets' Brady finishes off comeback victory Sports Writer The Columbia Mets' erratic bullpen has left the door open many times this season for late-inning rallies by NEIL WHITE opposing teams. That door isn't open anymore.

It's not even cracked. The Mets finally have a closer in the form of righthander Mike Brady, who came over from the Blue Jays in the Mookie Wilson trade. Brady came on in the ninth to put the finishing touches on a 6-3 victory over Fayetteville by striking out the potential tying run Thursday night at Capital City Park. The Mets, 28-27 and winners of three straight, moved to within two games of Charleston, S.C., which was rained out, in the South Atlantic League Southern Division. Columbia scored three runs in the eighth on one hit, three walks, a sacrifice fly and a throwing error to complete the comeback.

John Wenrick, 5- 8, got the win with two innings of scoreless relief, but he got a quick hook after walking the first batter to lead off the Fayetteville ninth. Brady, who spent most of the season at Myrtle Beach, got two ground ball outs before allowing a single to put runners on first and second. He struck out Rich Rowland to end the game. "After the base hit, I didn't want to walk a guy to put the go-ahead run at the plate," Brady said. "So I was coming in to him, and if he was going to hit it, then he was going to hit it.

I wasn't going to fool around." The hard-throwing Brady, a New York native, recorded his 15th save and lowered his ERA to 0.85. The save was his third for the Mets, and he has yet to allow a run in innings. Columbia manager Bill Stein admits Brady is a welcome sight. "I didn't think Mike had his usual velocity on his fastball, but he went in and got the job done," Stein said.

And I don't care." Craig Stadler field is scheduled to play two rounds, with points carried over from Thursday to today, before the 72 players with the highest point totals advance to Saturday's play. On Saturday, they all start over from zero again, and will be competing for 24 places in Sunday's final round, when the final field again will start from zero.

Since point totals will be scrubbed after today's round, the daily lead in points has no meaning. The players are attempting only to qualify for Saturday's play. And since they've never before had a two-day, 36-hole qualifying situation, no one had a clear picture of the point total necessary to make it. "It could be zero," Tom Watson said. "It could be anything from five to nine.

But off some of the early scores, and what it's taken for one round before, it ought to be around "I don't know," Lee Trevino "Plus three, plus two, plus one, I don't know. That's what I'm looking at, but I could be Wayne Westner of South Africa led the first-day point-getters with 16. Price, Bill Britton, Brad Fabel and Bob Gilder had 12 points. Steve Clemson ended its first week of two-a-day drills and coach Danny Ford said he was generally pleased with the effort of his team. But he said the Tigers still have work to do offensively and defensively.

"Our offense on first down looks like a good football team, and defensively, we were pretty good in thirdand-long situations," he said. "But we're not a good third-down team offensively right now, and defensively, we're going to have to be stronger against the run." Ford said he was pleased with the progress of the offensive line after losing three starters from last year's team.

Anytime we get in that situation, he's going to be out there." After watching a handful of pitchers never pin down the stopper's role this season, Stein is wistful about what might have been if Brady had worn a Mets uniform all season.

"In the first half, It was almost like flipping a coin to see who was going in there," Stein said. "I wish we had him in the first half because we probably would have won it." Columbia rallied from a 3-1 deficit with a run in the fourth that scored D.A.

Ted Aceto's sacrifice fly in the seventh scored Derrick Young, who had doubled, to tie the game. The game-winner scored on a wild pitch by Leo Torres, 9-10, the third pitcher for the Generals, 28-28.

"Anytime you come back and win, it's a big plus," Stein said. "We didn't hit the ball well that inning, but we put the ball in play and they made a few mistakes and we capitalized on those." Brady is glad to be pitching for a team that's still got a chance to make the playoffs. "I appreciate them giving me the opportunity to come out of the pen," Brady said. "I'm just happy and I want to show them I can do it." So far, he's left little doubt he can do it.

Trevino, making his first start in this unusual event, has a nine point total. "I feel like I've got a three-stroke cushion," Trevino said. "My chances look pretty good to be here on Saturday. Watson has seven points and isn't SO comfortable. "I've still got to play," he said.

And Tewell said his 10-point total may be too much. "How are they going to pair us for Saturday? Will they pair by scores?" he asked. "If they do, and I get another eight or 10 points tomorrow, I may have to start thinking about making a couple of double bogeys to get the total down and get an earlier starting time when the wind doesn't blow so much and the greens aren't spiked up," Tewell said. Would he purposely make bogey or double bogey to arrive at a more advantageous starting time? He shrugged. "For this much money (total purse of $1 million with $180,000 to the winner) I might have to think about it," he said.
