U.S. boxer says motivation gone?
after Goodwill disqualification
MOSCOW (AP) — American boxer Harvey
Richards, disqualified from the Goodwill Games
by a Soviet referee, said Wednesday that he had
lost his motivation to fight.
“The action has caused a lot of mental anguish
and pressure,” said Richards, a light heavy
weight from Springfield, Ill., w'ho will be 23 next
Tuesday. “Even if I do get the chance to box, I
don’t really have any feeling of motivation now.
“It’s taken away anything to fight for.”
Richards’ disqualification, by referee Yuri
Frolov, came at 2:09 of the second round of his
quarterfinal bout Tuesday, after he hit Nils
Hausgaard Madsen of Denmark with a low blow.
Immediately after the verdict, the American
team filed a five-part protest to the International
Amateur Boxing Association, claiming that Fro
lov should not have stopped the bout.
Omar Greene, a manager of the U.S. team,
said the protest stated in part that “the rules
were not applied properly ... That both boxers
were ready to continue fighting ... That no one
was incapacitated ... And that the foul was not
deliberate or intentional.”
The IABA said it would announce its decision
today, one hour before the start of the comple
tion of the semifinal bouts.
Richards went through his regular training
routine Wednesday.
“His attitude was good,” Sanders said. “We
told him to keep his hopes up, to be prepared
for a decision either wav.”
While the boxing controversy continued to be
the center of attention, six gold medals were de
cided Wednesday, four in tennis and two in
judo.
The only American gold medalist was Caro
line Kuhlman, a University of Southern Califor
nia junior, who beat Beverly Bowes, a University
of Texas senior, 6-4, 7-5, for the women’s singles
tennis title.
The Soviet Union collected five golds for a to
tal of 71 and 160 medals overall. The United
States’ gold in tennis boosted its gold total to 35
and 105 medals overall.
With Richards out of the boxing tournament,
the U.S. team, weakened before the games when
the Pentagon refused to let nine military fighters
compete, still had 10 boxers remaining.

TURNBERRY, Scotland (AP) —
Despite the heavy support for Seve
Ballesteros and Greg Norman, much
of the attention in the 1 15th British
Open golf championship could he
centered on what Jack Nicklaus
called “the young, the old and the
restless.”
That is the tag he put on his four
some in a final practice round on
I iu nherrv’s wind-raked Ailsa
course where the most ancient of
golf's great tournaments begins
Thursdav.
The group consisted of Nicklaus
and Fee Trevino, each 46, presu-
niablv “the old"; 36-vear-old Tom
Watson, apparently “the young”;
and Deane Beman, restless after 12
vears as the American PGA Tour
Commissioner and making a
comeback as a competitor.
They played in gale-force winds
howling iu from the Firth of Clvde
and on links that hear onlv a superfi
cial resemblance to the layout where
Nicklaus and Watson engaged in
their historic shootout for this title in
1977, Watson winning with an Open
record total af ter playing the last two
rounds 65-65 to Nicklaus' 65-66.
At that time, nine Julvs ago, the
Ayrshire area on the west coast of
Scotland was in the grips of a rare
drought, which diminished the
rough. Even more unusual, there
was no wind.
The conditions were more com
mon this year: exceptionally deep,
difficult rough and the chilly, blus
tery winds. Add to that fail wavs cut
as narrow as am in Open history
and some added length and it pro
duces what West German stai Bern-
hard Langer called “the toughest
golf course I’ve ev er seen.'
Beman. 48. who won four titles as
a touring pro before becoming Com
missioner in 1974. happily agreed.
*Tm glad to heal it. For a while. I
thought 1 was the only one who felt
that wav about it." he said.
Beman joined the also-rans, the
amateurs and the unproved hope
fuls in qualifying rounds and won
his wav into the 153-man tourna
ment field. He will he the first chief
executive of a majot professional
sport to compete in that sport at its
highest level.

HOUSTON (AP) — Lou Whi
taker and Frank White were the un
likely heroes for an unlikely team in
the most unlikely of places.
The two second baseman, the two
No. 8 hitters, the two small men,
each hit a home run to help the
American League win only its sec
ond All-Star Game in 15 years Tues
day night. 3-2.
And the honlers were hit, of all
places, in the vast Houston Astro
dome. the graveyard of longball hit
ters.
“You can't judge a man by his
height or weight,” said Whitaker, the
29-year-old Detroit second baseman
in his fourth All-Star Game. “We all
know what we can do. Our satisfac
tion is that we did our job.”
White. 35, and in his 14th season
with the Kansas City Royals, agreed
they were not the most likely home
run hitters.
"But that’s why baseball is such a
good game. You just never know
who will stand out,” White said.
“You have an idea who will stand
“Y ou cun't judge a man by his height ui weight. We

someone else."
Whitaker, who came into the
game with 12 regular-season hom
ers. hit a two-run shot to right field
in the second inning off National
League starter Dwight Gooden of
the New York Mets. White, with 10
homers coming into the All-Star
Game, hit his with two out in the sev
enth. and it proved to be the win
ning run when the National League-
scored twice in the eighth.
The victory was the first for the
AL in an NL park since 1962 at
Wriglev Field in Chicago.
The victory was a credit to the two
second basemen who helped the AL
finally fulfill its power potential. The
American League came into the
game with a rosier that had hit a to
tal of 266 home runs to 192 lot the
Nationals.
With a similai team last season,
the AL failed to hit a single home
run in losing at Minneapolis' Horn
etdome. In losing 3-1 in 1984. the
AL was out-homered 2-1, getting
one from George Brett while the NL
had hornets from Gary Garter and
Dale Murphy.
Both Whitaker and White, how
ever. said this particular power dis
play should not have come as sue h a
great shock.
"We don’t go up there looking for
singles." Whitaker said. "Both Frank
