Olympic judges cause controversy
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Even with their ath
letes at home, boycotting countries still could
affect the outcome of key events at the ’84
Summer Olympics.
Referees from the Soviet Union and many
of its allies will preside over diving, judo,
gymnastics and other sports requiring subjec
tive judgments, with controversy a possible
result. At the latest count, there were 53 So
viet officials in Los Angeles to serve as
judges.
Col. Donald Hull, head of the Interna
tional Amateur Boxing Federation, already
has announced a move to keep Soviet and
East German judges from handling bouts in
volving Americans.
“I’m going to recommend that they not be
used for bouts involving U.S. fighters,” Hull
said. “The officials were selected more than

six months ago, before any talk of a boycott.
I’m not worried about their officiating. It’s
just that their decisions might leave them
open for criticism either way.”
“A decision has to be made and I don’t
think they are going to handle U.S. bouts. It’s
also a question of security. We don’t want
crowds getting unruly if they disagree with a
judge’s decision.”
Hull, the only American to head an Olym
pic federation, will make his proposal at an
I ABF executive committee meeting on
Wednesday.
In swimming, diving and water polo alone,
23 judges come from boycotting nations. Of
ficials from the Soviet LTnion, Poland, Hun
gary and Cuba will handle judo.
One key exception for the Americans is
basketball, where there will be no officials
from boycotting countries. According to Da
vid Price, co-commissioner of basketball,
each team brings a referee approved by the
International Amateur Basketball Feder
ation.
It was in basketball that the United States
once suffered a disappointing loss that re
sulted from officiating. In 1972, in a wild and
bizarre finish in which the head of ELBA
came down from the stands to reset the clock
in the final seconds, the United States lost 51-
50 to the Soviets.
Scoring bias is a subtle factor that affects
even the most well-meaning judge. Costume,
gait and personality can impress one judge
For no particular reason directly related to
performance.
Other times, though, national allegiance
can intrude. Without being blatantly dishon
est, a judge can focus on the shortcomings of
a rival while stressing the virtues of a coun
tryman.

Texas breaks six-game losing streak
Rangers stifle Orioles 3-2
United Press International
ARLINGTON, Texas —
Danny Darwin pitched a four-hit
ter for his first victory since June
12 and George Wright drove in a
run and scored another as the
Texas Rangers snapped a six-
game losing streak with a 3-2 tri
umph over the Baltimore Orioles
Tuesday night.
Darwin (6-5), who was making
his first start since July 7, did not
allow a hit over the last 6 1/3 in
nings. The 28-year-old right
hander retired 19 of the last 21
Oriole batters he faced. Darwin
walked one and struck out two en
route to recording only his sec
ond complete game in 20 starts,
the 18th of his career.
The Rangers scored twice in
the third inning against Oriole
starting pitcher Mike Flanagan
(9-9) to take a 3-2 lead. An RBI
single by Pete O’Brien and
Wright’s sacrifice fly accounted
for the three runs scored. Gary
Ward led off the inning with his
second of three singles and was
retired at second on Buddy Bell’s
fielder’s choice.
Bell went to third on a double
by Larry Parrish and scored on
O’Brien’s single to right, tying it
2-2. Parrish, who stopped at third
on the play, scored the go-ahead
run on Wright’s fly to right.
Texas took a 1-0 lead in the
first inning on a one-out double
by Wright and a two-out RBi sin
gle by Ned Yost.
Flanagan, who worked eight
innings, recorded his 1,000th ma
jor-league strikeout by fanning
leadoff man Billy Sample in the
first inning.
will be testing the challenges of the
newest course on the PGA tour
when they tune up for this year’s
$400,000 Greater Hartford Open
that begins Thursday.
Most of the players who will com
pete for the $72,000 top prize over
the newly designed, par-71 Tourna
ment Players Glub will take part in
Wednesday’s pro-am practice
round.
Sponsors of the Greater Hartford
Open pulled up stakes after 32 years
at the nearby Wethersfield Country
Club for the new course, designed
by leading golf architect Peter Dye,
to be more challenging to players
and provide better views for specta
tors.
Course officials said more than 2-
million yards of dirt and 2,500 trees
have been moved to map out the
6,800 yard course that includes a
560-yard par-4 10th hole and a
treacherous 450-yard par-5 dog leg
15th hole.
Among the field of 156 players
will be defending GHO champion
Glen Strange who has had tnird
place finishes at the U.S. Open,
Phoenix and Busch Classic this year
for total earnings of $ 170,881.
The 29-year-old Virginian, who
turned pro in 1977, was the last win
ner at Wethersfield, scoring a 20-un-
der par 268 that included a second
round 62.
Strange, who usually ranges in the
top 10 money winners, has collected
$ 1.3 million in career earnings.
The Greater Hartford Jaycees de
cided to switch from the birdie-
prone Wethersfeld course in hop-
of attracting heavy hitters who have
traditionally stayed away from the
tournament such as Jack Nicklaus
and Tom Watson.
Since 1966, entertainer Sammy
Davis Jr. has loaned his name to the
charity event that raises funds for
disabled and disadvantaged chil
dren.
Davis was in Hartford Tuesday to
promote the tournament at its new
nome which is 11 miles south of
Hartford. Davis will tee off Wednes
day in the pro-am with Strange
along with other celebrities prior to
Thursday’s first round.
Davis and Frank Sinatra will also
perform at a special show in Hart
ford Thursday night to help launch
the tournament.
