Page 2B The Star-Democrat Monday, August 29, 1994 Sports Scoreboard- Teams make final roster cuts World Series Scares By DAVE GOLDBERG AP Football Writer Cleveland Gary's salary and fumbling finally cost him a job with the Los Angeles Rams. He may not be out of a job long, however. Dallas, which tried to trade for him last year, is looking for a backup running back. Gary, who two years ago rushed for 1,125 yards and caught 52 passes, was cut Sunday by the Rams, the biggest name released on a day when NFL teams reached the regular-season limit of 53 players. Eric Martin, New Orleans career receiving leader, was also cut, as was linebacker Jimmy Williams, a 13-year veteran, by Tampa Bay.

Philadelphia made a quick decision on its second-round draft pick, defensive tackle Bruce Walker, the 37th player taken and the. highest draft pick to be released this season. Miami linebacker John Offer-dahl announced his retirement. He had started only 24 of 50 games since 1991 because of many injuries. "I never wanted to be the type of player that is sometimes viewed as a player that should've got out of the game earlier," Offerdahl said.

"There was a moment on the field when I realized that this decision was going to be made. When it came to me, to be honest, I felt sad and at peace. I knew it was my time." Gary, the Rams' No. 1 draft choice in 1989, had lost his starting job a year ago to Jerome Bet-tis, the eventual rookie of the year, after four games. He had nine fumbles in 1992 and backup status and a $450,000 salary made him expendable.

But if Gary is willing to take a pay cut to fill under the cap, he could end up in Dallas, which held on to Lincoln Coleman as Emmitt Smith's backup despite three fumbles in the last two exhibitions. "We'll still keep looking at the waiver wire," coach Barry Swit-zer said. Most of those released Sunday were free agents and marginal players. That was in part because teams already had gotten under the salary cap by releasing declining, high-salaried veterans before training camp. Martin, 33, a 10-year veteran who holds Saints record for receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns, and has caught passes in 105 straight games, was an example of player who had already been a salary-cap casualty.

He had his salary reduced in the offseason from $1.24 million to $300,000. RAMS: In addition to Gary, the Rams released cornerback Dar-ryl Henley, who is awaiting trial for allegedly running a nationwide cocaine network. Henley was a second-round choice in 1989 and started at cornerback in 1991 and 1992 before VIKINGS: Safety Lamar McGriggs, a starter for part of last year, was among those cut, as was Cary Blanchard, who kicked for the New York Jets last year. Minnesota also cut linebacker Pete Bercich, fullback Robert Staten and offensive lineman Mike Wells. EAGLES: In addition to Walker, Philadelphia released two veteran backups, tight end Joey Mickey and guard Eric Floyd, as well as wide receiver Tom Gar-lick, linebacker Jock Jones and running backs Markus Thomas and Al Wooten.

They also placed linebacker Corey Barlow on injured reserve and claimed offeive lineman Mike Finn off waivers from Pittsburgh. Walker was the only surprise. "He really didn't have much motivation," coach Rich Kotite said. "It's a darned shame." BEARS: Keith Jennings, a fourth-year tight end, was waived and Schwantz was traded to Dallas. Also cut were third-year guard Paul Siever, wide receiver Tyrone Williams, cornerback Donny Brooks, defensive end Arthur Bussie and safety Anthony Marshall.

PATRIOTS: Kick returner Troy Brown, who fumbled a punt that was returned for a touchdown in Friday's exhibition loss to Green Bay, was cut, leaving the team with no punt returner. Also waived were tight end Paul Francisco, wide receiver Mario Henry, safety Dion Lambert, defensive tackle John Washington, offensive tackle Mark Staten and center Joe Burch, a third-round draft choice. Lambert started four games at safety last year and Washington played for coach Bill Parcel's on the 1990 Super Bowl champion Giants and is best known for a goal-line, fourth-down stop in a playoff game against Chicago. LIONS: Cornerback Kevin Scott was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Lions also waived corner-back Vaughn Bryant, wide receiver Eric Green, defensive end Kyle Moore, running back John Oglesby, tight end Marty Thompson, defensive end James Wilson and wide receiver Richard Woodley.

BUCS: Williams, who spent much of his career with Detroit, was cut along with safety-linebacker Vidal Mills, corner-back Roger Jones, wide receiver Tyree Davis, offensive tackle Pete Pierson and defensive end Israel Stanley. The Bucs also placed Lawrence Dawsey, their top receiver in two of the last three years, on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he can't play for six games. GIANTS: Despite hints they might cut tight end Derek Brown, their top draft choice in 1992, the Giants cut only free agents wide receivers Garry Harrell and Eric Weir, defensive ends Milton Jones and Leonard Ray, linebackers Shawn Smith and Pete Shufelt and tackle Ivory Dillard. FALCONS: Guard Alai Kalani-uvalu, a third-round draft pick, was cut along with free agent defensive ends Tyoka Jackson and Thomas Williams. On Saturday, the club waived three players safety Bryan Addison, a free agent from Hawaii; guard Keith Alex, who played in 14 games last season, and fourth-round draft pick Mitch Davis, a linebacker from Georgia.

Free agent rookie wide receiver Corey Dixon was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. SAINTS: In addition to Martin, New Orleans released linebacker Reggie Freeman, the team's second-round draft pick last year, guard Royce Nelson, cornerback Israel Byrd, tackle Alan Kline, and tight end Patt Evans. The Saints put offensive lineman Tom Ricketts on injured reserve REDSKINS: Washington cut center Greg Huntington, running back Cedric Smith, wide receiver Damon Wright, and running back Tyrone Rush as well as two veterans, defensive end Rick Graf and cornerback Robert Williams, Guard Darryl Moore was traded to the Green Bay Packers for a conditional 1995 draft choice. BILLS: Buffalo waived fourth-year veteran running back Eddie Fuller and defensive lineman John Parrella, a second-round draft picks last year. Also released were linebacker Glen Young; defensive backs Sean Crocker and Filmel Johnson, defensive backs, and offensive linemen Craig Hendrick-son and Jerry Ostroski.

PACKERS: Third-year fullback Dexter McNabb was cut and the Packers traded for wide receiver Charles Jordan from the Los Angeles Raiders and Moore from Washington. Jordan helped the Raiders to a win over Houston in their preseason finale Saturday when he made an acrobatic catch of a 15-yard pass in the final minute. The Packers waived offensive linemen Ed King, Lance Zeno and Charles Hope, linebacker Bernard Carter and wide receivers Bill Schroeder and Willie Harris were released. Cornerback Sammy Walker was placed on injured reserve and the Packers put guard Aaron Taylor, their top draft pick, on the reserve-physically unable to perform list with a knee injury suffered in June. JETS: Jeff Blake, the third-string quarterback, was cut, meaning rookie quarterback Glenn Foley has made the final 53-man roster.

The other cuts included rookie fullback Fred Lester, the team's sixth-round draft pick and free-agent rookie defensive back Chico Nelson of Ohio State. In addition, the team announced an injury settlement with defensive back Damon Pieri. The team did not want to announce its three final cuts until the coaching staff had spoken to the players first. 7449-75-218 73-73-73 -219 72- 74-73219 73- 70-76219 75-7649-220 73-74-73220 71-73-76-220 76- 72-73-221 73-72-76221 75- 74-73-222 71-74-77 -222 77- 77-70-224 73-78-74 -225 70-79-76-225 76- 73-76-225 75-76-75-226 78- 76-73 -227 82-7749228 79- 74-75 -228 81-74-74 -229 77- 75-77 -229 75-76-78-229.

Last week, a judge ruled that to travel with the Rams, he would have to post $1 million bail and pay cost for a court officer to accompany him on road trips. The Rams also cut offensive lineman Bill Schultz, defensive tackle Marc Boutte and safety Deral Boykin and placed linebacker Ernest Jones, their third-round draft pick, on injured reserve COWBOYS: Seeking their third straight title, the Cowboys will go with a rookie kicker, Chris Boni-ol, as well as Coleman as a backup to Emmitt Smith. "If Emmitt goes down we have a guy who knows the position, who gives us a chance," Switzer said.

"He's worked with the Cowboys the last five months." The Cowboys also traded a 1996 draft pick to Chicago for linebacker Jim Schwantz, Others cut were wide receiver Shelby Hill, tight end Coleman Bell, linebackers Roosevelt Collins and Dewane Dotson, offensive lineman Matt Joyce, tight end John Davis, running back Tony Richardson and safety Darren Studstill. COLTS: Indianapolis kept both Don Majkowski and Browning Nagle as backups to starting quarterback Jim Harbaugh and waived Paul Justin, the fourth quarterback. Among others cut was running back Rodney Culver, who scored three of the Colts' four rushing touchdowns in 1993. He recently rejoined the team after a preseason holdout. Others waived included offensive linemen John Ray and Kipp Vickers; defensive lineman Lance Teichelman; running back William Houston; defensive backs Kenny McEntyre arid John Reece and wide receiver Deron Pointer.

DOLPHINS: The cutdown task was made simpler with Offerdahl 's surprise retirement. He had signed just 11 days ago. The Dolphins waived seven-year offensive tackle Mark Dennis along with running back Aaron Craver to reach the roster limit. Craver's release allowed veteran Mark Higgs, who had expected to be cut, to make the roster. Also waived were wide receiver Demeris Johnson, defensive tackle George Rooks, defensive end Jay Williams and tight end Rob Coons.

49ERS: The 49ers waived fullback John Ivlow and tight end Bryce Burnett to reduce their roster to 52, one below the maximum. On Saturday, in something of a surprise, the 49ers released third-year defensive end Martin Harrison and second-year safety Damien Russell. Also released were wide receiver Alfonzo Browning, defensive end Junior Bryant, center Garry Pay and running Shaumbe' Wright-Fair. Moneghetti, who won this year's Tokyo Marathon with a career-best 2:08:55, finished more than three minutes ahead of teammate Sean Quilty. Running his 12th marathon and wearing his distinctive dark sunglasses despite heavy rain, Moneghetti was among the leaders from the outset.

Kenyan Nicolas Kioki stayed with him until 35K, before the Aussie began pulling away. Kioki wound up sixth. Quilty overtook England's Mark Hudspeth in the final mile and finished second at 2:14:57. Hudspeth settled for the bronze medal with a time of 2:15:11. In the final leg of the women's 1,600 relay, 400-meter winner Freeman took over in second place and shadowed England's Sally Gunnell, Olympic, world and Commonwealth 400 hurdles titlist, over the final lap.

When the hurdles world record-holder made her move, Freeman covered it and overtook her in the last 20 meters as the Australians posted what would have been a games-record 3:26.84. On the final bend, howver, Freeman had darted in front of Nigeria's Fatima Yusuf to get out of a boxed position and. was later disqualified.

VICTORIA, British Columbia (AP) Australia's Steve Moneghetti won the marathon on the final day of the Commonwealth Games and countrywoman Cathy Freeman was denied a third gold by a disqualification. The games also were rocked by a third drug scandal when Horace Dove-Edwin, runner-up to Linford Christie in the 100 meters, tested positive for steroids. After boxer Godson Sawah of Ghana had been stripped of his bronze medal and hurdler Robert Foster had been sent home, the Sierra Leone sprinter was disqualified and had his silver medal nullified. The third-place finisher, Michael Green of Jamaica, was moved up to silver and Namibia's 200-meter titlist Frankie Fredericks, who placed fourth, was awarded the bronze. "It's a very sad event, a very tragic event, that someone who had been a hero in the early days of the games is now found to be a drugs offender," David Dixon, secretary of the Commonwealth Games Federation said.

He said Dove-Edwin, 27, also is banned from competing at the next games in Malaysia in 1998 and faces possible further punishment from track's world governing body, the IAAF. Moneghetti, who won a bronze in 1986 and silver in 1990 finally made it to gold in 1994, finishing in 2 hours, 11 minutes 49 seconds on the streets of Victoria to win the marathon. "I told people I want the setting reversed, and today I got it, the 31-year-ola Australian said. "I showed that by running a good, tough race."
