Page 6/The Battalion/Wednesday, July 16, 1986 Sports AL Stars squelch Nationals, 3-2 Clemens outshines Gooden as pitching silences NL batsi HOUSTON (AP) — Roger Clemens won his vaunted duel with Dwight Gooden as the American League paired preci sion pitching and the power of Lou Whitaker and pinch-hitter Frank White to beat the National League 3-2 Tuesday night in baseball’s 57th All-Star Game. Clemens, 15-2 for the Boston Red Sox after a 14-0 start, opened with three perfect in nings, while Whitaker and White hit homers for the Americans. Whitaker’s was a two-run shot in the second inning off Gooden, the New York Mets’ 1985 Cy Young winner. Clemens, Ted Higuera of Mil waukee, Charlie Hough of Texas, Dave Righetti of the New York Yankees and Don Aase of Balti more, the major-league save leader with 23, held the NL to Five hits, only one through the First seven innings. The victory was only the sec ond in the last 15 All-Star Games for the Americans, the last one in 1983. St. Louis’ Whitey Herzog was the losing manager both times. It was also the first time the AL had won in a National League park since 1962 at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The Nationals still lead the series 36-20-1. Gooden, 10-4 but only 5-4 in his last nine decisions, worked the first three innings, giving up the two runs on three hits and strik ing out just two in his third All- Star Game. His relief, Fernando Valenzuela of Los Angeles, tied an All-Star record set by Carl Hubbell in 1934 by striking out five in a row and pitched three scoreless innings for the Nation als. But the spotlight was on the American League pitching, which gave up only one earned run. Noted for their longball prowess, the AL did come up with the homers by Whitaker and White in the vast Astrodome, site of the 1968 All-Star Game. That was enough, though the AL survived a shaky eighth by Hough and a two-on, one-out jam in the ninth. San Francisco’s Chris Brown put the NL on the board, doubling, going to third on a wild pitch and scoring from third when Boston’s Rich Ged- man let a Hough knuckleball get bv on a third strike to Montreal’s Hubie Brooks. Brooks went second on a Hough balk at scored on a single to left bySteuI Sax. Clemens, working in bis first All-Star Game on just three days rest, was untouchable, throwing 21 strikes in 25 pitches. Whilehe struck out only two, he retired nine straight, the first pitcher since 1980 to throw three perfect innings. "1 felt sluggish all day yester day," said Clemens, who is front the Houston area. “Today, com ing out to the ’Dome, I got all the adrenalin flowing. Coming home and pitching like this in the All- Star Game with my family hereis like a dream come true.” Hawk iuppo :amp Her White, pinch-hitting for Whi taker with two out in the seventh, hit an 0-2 pitch from the Astros Mike Set >tt for his home run. The ball just barely cleared the wallin left-center. ■ter svete Hot $pokr said a H at raids. mom AL ace Clemens earns MVP honors o fi< HOUSTON (AP) — A mea sure of how well All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Roger Clemens pitched Tuesday night . came from his catcher, Lance Parrish. “He was tough,” Parrish began. “Somebody said they clocked him at 96 or 97 mph. I can believe it. He was as good as anybody. “The ball he threw best was the third strike on (Darryl) Straw berry. It popped.” Clemens, the American League starter in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game, pitched three per fect innings to start the AL to ward a 3-2 victory over the Na tional League. Parrish said that Clemens’ fast ball was made especially effective by a hard-breaking changeup. The Boston right-hander threw 25 pitches in his three in nings, 21 of them for strikes. “That’s something you don’t see that often,” Parrish said, “a guy throwing that hard and able to finesse the breaking ball and throw it for strikes. was the first time he had ever pitched in the Astrodome, lo cated just 30 miles from his home at Katy. “It’s just a thrill, all of this hap pening at home,” Clemens, 23, said. Clemens said he felt verv good Z while loosening up before the Bf I game, but couldn’t have antic- llf ipated retiring all nine batters he || faced. “Do you want to know how much I enjoyed catching him? He was pitching so well that I even enjoyed the warm-ups.” Clemens, who grew up in the Houston area, handed out 50 tickets to relatives and friends. It He was pitching on just two days’ rest, after pitching a com plete-game victory on Saturday against California. “Yesterday, my arm was a little heavy, but today it felt good,” he said. “Hopefully, when we get to crunch time in the American League East, it means I’ll be able to come back a little sooner, on three day’s rest.” “You never imagine something like this coming around,” he said “This was a big win. The Ameri can League had not won in a Na tional League park for quite a while (since 1962 at Chicago's Wrigley Field).” His hopes for the rest of the season? “Just to have the type of season in the second half that I’ve had in the first half.” of boxer t U.S. protests disqualification MOSCOW (AP) — The United States boxing team formally pro tested the disqualification of light heavyweight Harvey Richards by a Soviet referee Tuesday at the Good will Games, while the Soviet Union swept the gold medals in the men’s individual gymnastics events. Richards, of Springfield, Ill., ap peared to be outpointing Nils Haus- gaard Madsen of Denmark in their quarterfinal bout in the 178-pound class when referee Yuri Frolov stopped the fight at 2:09 of the sec ond round and disqualified the American. There was much confusion as to why the bout was halted. American team coach Roosevelt Sanders, team physician Steve Good man and the media director for the U.S. Boxing Team, Leslie King, said the disqualification came after Rich ards was called for an intentional low blow. But Omar Greene, a manager for the U.S. team, was quoted as saying that the referee told him that an in tentional low blow was not the rea son for the disqualification. Greene, however, said he didn’t know why the bout was stopped. An appeal to Richards’ disqualifi cation was sent to the International Amateur Boxing Association with a decision expected Thursday, King said. While Richards’ fate is undecided, three other Americans advanced and three were eliminated. Michael Simon of Washington, D.C., reached Thursday’s semifinals in the 178-pound class with a 4-1 de cision over Nikolai Lapkov of Bul garia, and Roy Jones of Pensacola, Fla., moved into the semifinals of the 139-pound class by outpointing Gor don Joyce of Ireland 5-0. Arthur Johnson of St. Louis reached the final of the 112-pound division, edging David Griman of Venezuela 3-2. The three Americans who lost in semifinals were beaten by Soviet fighters. The biggest surprise was the elim ination of heavyweight Michael Bent of Cambria Heights, N.Y., who was outpointed 4-1 by Vladimir Belai. pen ■El The only gold medals a warded Tuesday were in gymnastics, andtlif|| e ^ Soviets collected them all.

I wasn’t saying anything about the course. Nothing. “Then, a couple of nights ago, Tom Kite and Larry Nelson were having dinner at the hotel and I stopped by their table. We talked a while and then Nelson said, “That’s the toughest golf course I’ve ever seen’,” Beman said, then leaned back in his chair and laughed. “You have no idea how glad I was to hear him say that; to find out somebody else thought that. “I was afraid I was the only one who felt that way about it,” said Be man who, in the first round of the 115th British Open Championship on Thursday, will achieve a “first” in professional sports. Beman, 48, away from competi tion for more than 12 years, will be come the first commissioner of a ma jor sport to compete in that sport at its highest level. It may not be quite the equivalent of Peter Lberroth competing in the World Series or Pete Rozelle playing in the Super Bowl. Still ... “It’s a challenge, and it’s fun,” said Beman, a former U.S. and British amateur champion who won four American Tour events as a full-time player before he took over as com missioner in 1974. He had not played competitively until beginning his preparations for the British Open earlier this season. “There’s lots of different kinds of golf: social golf, competitive golf, tournament golf, then big tourna ment competitive golf,” said Beman, who will match strokes with the world’s greatest players: TomWai ;• son and Jack Nicklaus, Seve Balleste ill ros and Sandy Lyle, Ray Floyd and- ^ Greg Norman. ||L “I wanted to give it a try. F “I love golf. I missed being awa' from competitive golf,” said Beman whose plans to compete in theU.S |\jj Open were sidelined by an aching | saii hip. H Beman said that under nocircum nu stances would he attempt to compel in an American PGA Tour co-spon- sai sored event (the U.S. Open isnotaljm, co-sponsored tournament). jn), “It would not be appropriate,"ht|h a] said. SI, Cowboys safety Clinkscale has yet to report to camp THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Veteran strong safety Dextor Clinkscale was still missing from the Dal las Cowboys training camp Tuesday, with Cowboys management saying they did not know why he had failed to show. In a press release on Tuesday’s camp, the Cowboys said Clinkscale had yet to notify them of the reason for his absence. Veterans were to report to camp Sunday. Clinkscale’s attorney, Paul Schoonover of Dallas, told the Dallas Times Herald that Clinkscale was not a contract holdout. “At this time, we’re just choosing not to say anything about what Dextor is doing,” Schoonover said. The collective bargaining agreement between man agement and the players association said players are to report 15 days before the first preseason game. Cow boy veterans were asked to report Sunday—21 days before the London game against Chicago. But Coach Tom Landry said he agreed to hold only one workout per day in London if the team would re port early. The Cowboys normally hold two practices a day. Clinkscale is the club’s player representative to the NFL Players Association. Tight end Doug Cosbie, assistant player representa tive, said he was notified last week by the players asso ciation that the team shouldn’t report Sunday. “But they really didn’t make any big deal out of it, so I can’t imagine that would be the reason that he didn’t show up,” Cosbie said. The Cowboys released two rookie free agents Tues day, cutting their training camp roster to 101 players, including 51 rookies and first-year players. Placed on waivers were safety David Carter of Cali fornia and offensive lineman Greg Rea of Nevada- Reno. In addition to Clinkscale, the team’s first three draft choices were still absent from camp. Wide receiver Mike Sherrard of UCLA, running back Darryl Clack of Arizona State and defensive lineman Mark Walen of UCLA have not come to contract terms.
