A&M’s Kerr grabs
200 in dual meet
BUCHAREST, Romania —
Texas A&M freshman Stanley
Kerr won the 200-meter dash in
20.90 seconds Sunday on the fi
nal day of a dual meet between
junior (19 years and under) teams
from the United States and Ro
mania.
A&M signee Derrick Florence
won the 100 Saturday with a time
of 10.34 to beat teammate Mi
chael Marsh of Inglewood, Ca.,
who ran a 10.58.
Kerr and Florence ran legs on
the U.S. 400 relay team, which
posted a 39.65 en route to its
first-place finish Saturday.
Kerr did not run the 100, nor
Florence the 200, as the U.S.
team rotates its sprint corps at
each competition.
On the first stop of the team’s
three-location tour, Kerr won the
100, and teamed with Florence to
aid the 400 relay squad to victory,
at Winter Park, Fla., in the Pan
American Junior Track and Field
Championships J uly 5.
The U.S. team will compete at
the inaugural World Junior
Championships in Athens,

junior Neil Hickerson staged a
comeback, but fell short as Okla

golf championship 5-up Sunday.
Watts, the current Big Eight
Conference champion, fired
eight pars and a bogey on the first
nine for a 2-up advantage, then
widened the gap to five after 18
holes'of play.
Hickerson, a native of Belton,
made a gallant comeback by win
ning the 23rd, 24th, and 26th
holes to cut his deficit to 2. But
Watts stormed back with three
birdies and two pars to win four

Clemens, Gooden to start Game
prc
r
HOUSTON (AP) — The two
managers made it official: Roger
Clemens vs. Dwight Gooden in base
ball’s 57th All-Star Game Tuesday
night at the Astrodome.
That left American League Man
ager Dick Howser with just one
pitching question left to answer.
Where was Dennis “Oil Can’’ Boyd?
“That’s a tough one to field right
off the bat,” Howser said at a Mon
day morning news conference at
which he and his National League
counterpart, Whitey Herzog, an
nounced their starting lineups.
“We only selected eight pitchers. I
want to be very careful about this.
There is a guy in Boston who got left
out. He’s an outstanding pitcher.
But we couldn’t take everybody,”
Howser said.
The volatile Boyd returned to the
Boston Red Sox’s clubhouse Sunday
to apologize for leaving the team last
Thursday in a huff over not being
selected for the team. At 11-6, Boyd
was second only to teammate Clem
ens, 15-2, in victories for the Red
Sox.
“My teammates have accepted me
back, and I’ll be back out there pitch
ing my heart out for them again,”
said Boyd, who was suspended for

three days and missed a pitching
turn Sunday because of his walkout.
Howser, ever the diplomat, said
he was sorry “to see how dismayed
he was, and I think that’s enough
said. I feel sorry about Oil Can. We
picked some extra people because
we thought we needed the bats . . .
but 1 do feel sorry for Boyd. I don’t
envy his situation at all.”
Howser said he would start Clem
ens despite the fact that Clemens
pitched nine innings on Saturday,
snapping a two-game losing streak.
Gooden, 10-4, has won two of his last
three and has not pitched since last
Wednesday.
“I saw Dwight throw against us in
spring. He’s in a class of his own out
there,” said Clemens, who will be ap
pearing in his First All-Star Game in
a town near where he grew up. “I
think I have the advantage being at
home.”
Howser said he would use Fed
Higuera of Milwaukee and Charlie
Hough of Texas after Clemens. “It
might just be those three,” Howser
said. Hough will he appearing in his
first All-Star Game at age 38.
Howser also announced a batting

MOSCOW (AP) — American
wrestlers captured three gold med
als at the Goodwill Games Monday,
while Soviet gymnasts swept the
medals in all-around competition,
again shutting out a disappointing
American team.
John Smith, Dave Schultz and
Bruce Baumgartner each defeated a
Soviet opponent in their gold-medal
matches, boosting the American
medal count to 99, 34 gold.
But the Soviets took seven wres
tling golds Monday, widening their
lead in the medals race with a total of
145, 59 gold.
Smith defeated Khazen Isaev 6-3
in the 136-pound class, despite com
plaining of a bad call in the second
period when he scrambled out of
bounds.
“They have the home-court ad
vantage,” Smith said of the Soviets,
who are hosting the inaugural Good
will Games. “I accepted it and tried
not to let it get me down.”
Schultz and Baumgartner were
both gold medalists in the 1984
Olympics.
Schultz rallied from a 2-0 deficit
to down Adlan Varaev 4-2 in the
163-pound class. Baumgartner
scored the final point with just 22
seconds remaining, edging out Da
vid Gobedzhishvili in the 286-pound
match. The score ended in 4-4 and
Baumgartner won on criteria.
Americans Kevin Darkus, at
pounds, Andre Metzger at
pounds, and James Scherr at
pounds, all took silver medals.
In gymnastics, held before just
3,000 people in the cavernous Olym
pic Stadium Hall the Soviets swept
the medals as Yuri Korolev won the
gold, Valentin Mogilny the silver
and Vladimir Artemov the bronze.
The top American Finisher, Charles
Lake, was seventh.
“We were all a bit disappointed,”
said Bart Conner, a member of the
gold-medal American team at the
Los Angeles Olympics and a com
mentator here for Turner Broad
casting System. “Unfortunately we
got of f to a terrible start yesterday.”
But other gymnasts have to
plained about equipment here,p
ticularly the mats.
“A lot of the athlethes havefo:

them,” Conner said.

At the end of the First day of gym
nastics competition Monday, the
United States was fifth in the six-na
tion event.
“We have a lot of work ahead of
us,” Lake, of Newhall, Calif., said.
Lake praised the meet and said it
would help American gymnasts pre
pare for the 1988 Olympics.
“You always have to look at the
Russians because they always set the
standard,” he said.
