Williams throws in towel with Padres
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — What the San
Diego Padres brass couldn’t force 1 1
weeks ago, Dick Williams did volun
tarily Monday when he quit after
four years as manager of the Na
tional League team.
The often-gruff Williams said
goodbye to his fifth major league
managing job a day after he failed to
appear at the Padres spring training
camp to greet pitchers and catchers.
“For the past few weeks, I have
been asking myself, ‘Do I really want
to manage the Padres another year?’
My honest answer finally was ‘No,’”
Williams said at a news conference
where he appeared with team owner
Joan Kroc.
“When I shared that feeling with
Ballard Smith and Joan Kroc, we
agreed that it would be in the best in
terest of the club, myself and my
family that I not return to the
Padres,” Williams said.
“For the past few weeks, I
have been asking myself,
‘Do I really want to man
age the Padres another
year?’ My honest answer
finally was, ‘No.

Kroc last December blocked Presi

in-law, and General Manager Jack
McKeon when they attempted to
buy out the final year of Williams’
contract.
Padres pitching coach Galen Cisco
will be interim manager until a re
placement is named later this week
or early next week. Among those
mentioned as a possible replacement
was Steve Boros, who manages in the
Padres’ minor league systems and
previously managed the Oakland
A’s.
Williams in 1984 managed the
Padres to their only National League
pennant. They went on to lose in the
World Series to the Detroit Tigers.
Third-base coach Ozzie Virgil,
who also was missing when the
Padres early camp opened Sunday
in Yuma, Ariz., won’t be with tYie

NBA seeing closest scoring race in 8 years
Associated Press
Eighteen times this season Utah’s
Adrian Dantley and Denver’s Alex
English have traded the lead in the
closest NBA scoring race in eight
years.
English currently leads Dantley
29.1 to 28.9 points per game, but at
times this season, the two high-scor
ing forwards have been so close that
their averages had to be figured an
extra percentage point to determine
the leader.
The 18th and most recent switch
in positions occurred on Feb. 1,
when English scored 35 points
against Milwaukee to improve his av
erage from 29.38 to 29.50, surpas
sing Dantley’s 29.48.
In one 18-day stretch, from Nov.
24 to Dec. 11, English and Dantley
jumped over each other nine times.
But unlike other statistical catego
ries such as rebounds, assists and
blocked shots, where players can ex
press their desire to lead the league
without fear of being called selfish,
English and Dantley measure their
words more carefully.
“I’ve won it (the scoring title)
twice, and if I hadn’t, it probably
would mean more to me to win this
season,” Dantley said. “Now I’m
more concerned with winning. If
you really try to win the scoring title,
it takes too much out of you mentally
and physically.”
“I’ll do what it takes to help my
team win,” echoed English, the NBA
scoring champion in 1983. “If he or
I win the scoring title, fine.”
Dantley said his indifference
about winning a scoring title doesn’t
mean he’s unaware of the closeness
of the race.
“You’re not doing your job if you
don’t look at the stats to see who’s
doing what around the league,” he
said. “Besides, the press reminds you
of it all the time. You can’t escape it.”
While Dantley won’t, or can’t, say
openly that he wants towinM
ing title, Jazz Coach Frank!-’
says he would love toseeDanW
it.
“I’ll do anything I can tonfM
win,” Layden said. “Our ofM
geared for Adrian to havetke^j
his hands.”
