United Press International
Spring training is the yellow
brick road for many a rookie
hoping to make it to the land of
the big leagues. Ramon Ro
mero, for one, got a step closer
Monday, pitching three hitless
innings to earn the victory in
Cleveland’s 8-0 shutout of the
Oakland A’s.
Rick Sutcliffe took over after
Romero, who was 10-4 with
Double-A buffalo last season,
scattering five singles.
The Indians scored twice
against loser Chris Codiroli in
the third when George Vuko-
vich belted his first home run of
the spring and Alan Bannister
scored from third on a double
steal.
Codiroli gave up three more
runs in the fourth. Jeff Betten
dorf, a rookie who has nearly
guaranteed his spot on the ros
ter with an outstanding spring,
came on for the A’s in the sixth
and tossed two strong innings

before giving way to Ed Farmer
in the ninth.
The Indians scored their
other three runs against Farmer
on an RBI single by Julio
Franco and a two-run double by
catcher Jerry Willard.
The victory raised Cleve
land’s exhibition record to 8-5
while Oakland fell to 10-6.
In other exhibition games:
At Dunedin, Fla., Lloyd Mo-
seby drove in five runs with a
pair of homers and a sacrifice
fly and Willie Upshaw added a
two-run shot to lead the To
ronto Blue Jays to a 9-1 victory
over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Winning pitcher Mike Morgan
combined with relievers Roy
Le^Jackson and Stan Clark on
a four-hitler.
At Bradenton, Fla., Amos
Otis singled home Marvell
Wynne in the sixth inning to
snap a 9-9 tie and the Pitts
burgh Pirates went on to defeat
the New York Mets 10-9. Chris
Green picked up the win in re
lief for Pittsburgh and reliever
Craig Swan took the loss for the
Mets.
At West Palm Beach, Fla.,
three Montreal pitchers
blanked an Atlanta team which
featured only one regular
player for a 1-0 victory. With
the bulk of their squad in
Puerto Rico for two games with
the Cincinnati Reds, the Braves
dressed 14 players. Rafael Ram
irez was the only player in his
regular position.
At Fort Myers, Fla., Lynn
Jones singled home pinch run
ner John Wathan in the 10th in
ning to rally the Kansas City
Royals past the Chicago White
Sox 3-2. Guy Hoffman, the
fourth White Sox hurler, took
the loss. The White Sox had led
2-0 until the eighth when Frank
White cracked a two-run
homer.
Detroit’s Lance Parrish broke
up a tight game with a two-run
homer in the sixth inning and
Dan Petry tossed six shutout in
nings as the Tigers downed the
Boston Red Sox 4-1.

SEATTLE — Anthony Q. Welch, a pro football
player agent from Bedford, Texas, was charged Mon
day with procuring prostitutes for several pro football
prospects staying at a downtown hotel last month.
But the King County prosecutor’s office said it was
unlikely any charges would be filed against the pro
spective pro players despite allegations by two young
prostitutes that they were sexually assaulted.
“The special assault unit of this office has also re
viewed complaints by the women involved in this inci
dent who charge they were assaulted,” said a
statement released by the prosecutor’s office.
“Identification problems and conflicting statements
preclude this office from making further charges at
this time.”
The prosecutor’s office filed a formal charge of
promoting prostitution in the second degree against
Welch, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of five
years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Court allege Welch made arrangments with at least

They told police the liaison was arranged bya

two women in Seattle’s Sheraton Hotel Feb. 16 to
“hook up” with at least four football players for a pre
arranged fee.
At least one act of prostitution did take place, au
thorities said.
The prosecutor’s office began extradition efforts
against Welch Monday but a spokesman admitted get
ting a suspect from out of state to trial can be difficult.
“Extradition is a difficult proceeding between
states,” said Michael Kranda of the prosecutor’s office.
“We do it when it’s warranted, but it’s fraught with un
certainties. We just have to see what the authorities in
Texas say and what Mr. Welch’s response is.”
Police began investigating the incident at the Shera-
ers staying at the hotel.
One of the prostitutes later told reporters the

Carolina Tar Heels eye title
United Press International
ATLANTA — The top-
ranked North Carolina Tar
Heels hope it’s true that all
good things come in threes.
Twice before (1957 and
1982), the Tar Heels were the
No. 1 team in the final, regular-
season, UPI national college
basketball rankings — and both
times they went on to win the
NCAA championship.
Also, since North Carolina
won the 1982 NCAA crown and
neighboring North Carolina
State was last year’s winner, the
Tar Heels are out to make this
the third straight year that an
Atlantic Coast Conference team
— and a team from the state of
North Carolina — has won the
national championship.
North Carolina (28-2) meets
18th-ranked Indiana (21-8)
Thursday night in the NCAA
East Regional semifinals at the
Omni. The other East semifi
nals pits 16th-ranked Syracuse
(23-8) against Virginia (19-11).
Last lime North Carlina and
Indiana paired off was in the
1981 NCAA finals when the
Hoosiers, then 9th-ranked,
posted a 63-50 victory over the
6th-ranked Tar Heels.
North Carolina, No. 1 seed in
the East, got off to a slow start
this past Saturday in its bid for a
third NCAA championship be
fore a solid second half led to a
77-66 victory over Temple, and
North Carolina Coach Dean
Smith was pleased.
“We played as good a second
half as we can play,” said Smith.
“In the first half, we were trying
to get that Duke loss (in the
semifinals of the previous
week’s ACC tournament) out of
our minds.”
In that first half. North Caro-
nester cor

Ref draws fire for actiorPe
United Press International
A referee who changed his
call in an NCAA tournament
game in Dayton, Ohio,last week
after reviewing a videotape re
play has said he’s been harshly
criticized for his actions.
The referee, Mickey Crow
ley, also predicted the NCAA
soon will prohibit referees from
viewing tapes.
The controversial action oc
curred during the closing sec
onds of an opening-round
game between North Carolina
A&T and Morehead (Ky.) State.
Following a foul by a Morehead
State player, Crowley and his
partners sent North Carolina
A&T’s Eric Boyd to the line.
But after viewing an ESPN tape
of the foul, Crowley moved
Boyd, an 85 percent free-throw
shooter, off the line and re
placed him with James Horace,
who is less proficient from the
foul line.
Horace made only one of his
two shots, and Morehead went
on to win the game.
“It was a crucial situation
where we absolutely did not
want to put the wrong player on
the free throw line,” Crowley
said Saturday.
“I’ve taken a lot of heat on it,
more than anything else in my
25 years of college basketball of
ficiating.”
During regular season play,
Crowley officiates in the East
ern College Athletic Associa
tion. He will not be refereeing
any other NCAA tournai
games. NCAA spokesman
