LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) —
A plan that would move at least a
portion of four events at the 1988
Seoul Olympics to North Korea was
presented to Korean representatives
by international Olympic officials
Wednesday.
With it went a warning that this
was the last chance to resolve a dis
pute threatening the Games with
another boycott.
The head of the International
Olympic Committee said an agree
ment involving archery, table tennis,
cycling and soccer was “very, very
close,” and South Korea’s Olympic
committee president said he was
pleased with the progress made in
two days of talks.
But a high-ranking Olympic offi
cial from North Korea indicated that
chances of a final agreement might
be no better than 50-50.
The two sides have until June 30 to
review the plan and let the IOC know
of “their willingness to accept it in
principle,” an IOC statement said.
If the answer is yes, the IOC said, a
fourth set of meetings on the issue
will be called, probably next month,
to discuss details, including television
coverage.
The proposal presented by IOC
president Juan Antonio Samaranch
would place the entire schedules of
archery and table tennis in North
Korea.
In addition, he said, cycling road
races and preliminary rounds in four
groups of the soccer tournament
would be played in the North, along
with Olympic-related cultural events.
The opening and closing cere
monies will remain in the South Ko
rean capital, Samaranch said, “be
cause the Games were awarded to
Seoul.”
“We are very, very close” to an
agreement, Samaranch said. “This
the final proposal by the IOC. If it is
accepted, we go farther. If not, I am
sorry but this is the end.”
He also stressed that any agree
ment must be ratified by the full 91-
member IOC, which meets in
October.
North Korea last year demanded a
co-host role in 1988, with the more-
than 230 sports events split equally
between the two countries. If the de
mand was not met, North Korea said,
it would boycott the Games and poss
ibly take other Communist-bloc
countries with it.
The South Koreans flatly rejected
a co-host role for the North but said
they would listen to other proposals.
Last weekend, Samaranch said the

^Jritish flavor garnishes U.S. Open
Southampton, n.y. (ap) — The wind-
''pped dunes and scrub wastelands of stark
inecock Hills give the 86th U.S. Open golf
mpionship a British-style challenge that was
ected to be answered by Jack Nicklaus, Tom
son and Seve Ballesteros.
Tie 46-year-old Nicklaus, fresh from his sixth
ters’ victory, is firing at his fifth U.S. Open
and 21st major in the tournament which

hould he win, he would be the oldest player in
i>ry to capture the event, just as he was the
1st champion at Augusta.
lie has won three British Opens and calls
Inecock, which is just 3 miles from the Atlan-
fccean, “just like a Scottish links course.”
[fter negotiating the pot bunkers, brown Indi-
Irass and thick rough just off the lush, green
liays, Nicklaus said “the style of the golf
be, with the wind, will give players trouble
Jare not used to British conditions.”
^icklaus, who failed to make the cut at the
1985 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills, owns the 72-
hole record for the tournament at 272, set in 1980
at Baltusrol.
Watson, five times winner of the British Open,
said “You can’t help but think of the famous links
courses of the British Open. It could be my kind
of course.”
Watson, the 1982 U.S. Open champion, has
not won a tournament since the 1984 Western
Open. He has the best scoring average in the last
10 U.S. Opens, with Nicklaus a close second,
71.31 to 71.74. No other competitor is under 72.
Ballesteros, who lost a four-shot lead in four
holes to Nicklaus at the Masters, has won two
British Opens and is powerful enough to hack the
ball out of Shinnecock’s honey-colored weeds.
The Spanish golfer plays most of the year in
Europe.
Two-time British Open king Lee Trevino, Au
stralia’s Greg Norman, Scotland’s Sandy Lyle, the
1985 British Open champion, and West Ger
many’s Bernhard Ganger can handle windswept
conditions.
Shinnecock, named after a tribe of Indians
who used to dominate this area of east Long Is
land, hosted its only other U.S. Open 90 years
ago.
It was won by Scotsman James Foulis, who shot
152 for 36 holes and won $150. The 1896 U.S.
Open was only the second one held.
The course, located 100 miles from New York
City, has been the site of the 1967 U.S. Senior
Amateur and the 1977 Walker Cup.
“We know we took a gamble coming here be
cause of the location but we fell in love with it at
the Walker Cup,” said William J. Williams Jr.,
president of the USGA. “We thought it was a
great course, but the question remains whether it
will stand up to the great players.”
Williams joked: “On behalf of the USGA we’d
like to welcome you to the first playing of the
British Open in the U.S.”
The first tee shot is scheduled at 7 a.m. as the
156-man field chases the second oldest cham
pionship in golf and a $115,000 first place check.

N DIEGO (AP) — Garry Tem-
n lined a two-run double in the
|h inning, keying a four-run out-
t that gave the San Diego Padres
1-7 victory over Houston
nesday, snapping the Astros’
game winning streak,
he Padres, who had squandered
lead, opened the eighth with a
by Carmelo Martinez. Bruce
iy, who earlier hit a two-run
:r, doubled pinch-runner John
\- to third, and after reliever
,k DiPino, 1-2, walked Jerry
ter intentionally to load the
bases, Templeton lined his game
winning hit down the right field line.
Lance McCullers, 2-1, followed
with a run-scoring sacrifice bunt, and
Leon “Bip” Roberts accounted for
the final run with an infield hit.
The 11-run outburst was the
Padres’ highest score of the year.
The Astros trailed 7-1 after five
innings before Denny Walling
helped spark the comeback with a
two-run homer in the sixth off Andy
Hawkins.
Houston capitalized on a pair of
Padres errors in the seventh to score
four runs off relievers LaMarr Hoyt
and McCullers to tie the game 7-7.
After Craig Reynolds singled in a
run, Hoyt walked Jose Cruz, loading
the bases and bringing in McCullers.
Glenn Davis hit a grounder that
bounced off third baseman Jerry
Royster’s glove for a run-scoring
error. Templeton picked up the ball,
but threw wildly to second for a
second error and another run. The
final run of the inning scored on
Walling’s sacrifice fly.
A run-scoring single by Cruz in
11-7 win
the first had given the Astros a 1-0
lead, but Bochy’s two-run homer in
the second off Mike Madden put the
Padres ahead 2-1.
San Diego added three more runs
in the third on RBI singles by Tony
Gwynn and Steve Garvey and Mad
den’s wild pitch, which allowed
another run to score.
San Diego made it 7-1 after Haw
kins opened the fifth with a single.
Roberts tripled Hawkins home, then
scored on Marvell Wynne’s double.

Seoul Olympic Organizing Commit
tee had agreed to give the four sports
back to the IOC, which in turn would
negotiate their venues with North
Korea in exchange for assurances
from the Pyongyang government
that free access would be be allowed
for an estimated 25,000 Olympic
athletes, coaches, officials, spectators
and journalists.
The IOC statement Wednesday
said both sides “have already con
firmed that free access of all mem
bers of the Olympic family to relevant
Olympic venues in the North and
South would be assured.”
Chong-Ha Kim, president of the
South Korean Olympic Committee,
said he was pleased with the progress
from the latest round of talks.
“We are very satisfied,” he said.
But Ung Chang, secretary general
of the North Korean Olympic Com
mittee, was less optimistic.
He said the North would continue
to push for more sports, including
wrestling and weightlifting, plus the
entire soccer tournament rather than
just preliminary rounds.
Asked if the chances of final agree
ment were better than 50- 50, he re
plied: “I can’t say that.”
He stressed, however, that there
was room for compromise.

The Mexicans staged a lackluster
performance in edging Iraq 1 -0 on a
second-half goal by Fernando
Quirarte.
The triumph meant Mexico will
stay here to play Sunday against a
third-place team.
At Monterrey, England’s Lineker
scored three goals in 36 minutes.
First, he slid in front of the goal to
meet a pass from Gay Stevens and put
it past goalie Josef Mlynarczyk at
seven minutes.
Seven minutes later, Lineker
broke free in front to steer in a pass
from Kenny Sansom from the left
side.
He put in a short left-footed kick
for his third goal after Mlynarczyk
mishandled a corner kick by Trevor
Steven.
