TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Tom
Kite went into the Chicago suburbs
for the Western Open golf
championship, perplexed, harassed
and slightly grumpy.
A week later, he came into Toledo
for the 68th PGA National
Championship smiling, happy, on
top of the world — and maybe just a
little bewildered.
He is the gritty little guy who so
often is in contention, so frequently
right at the top of the pack chasing
yne of golfs great titles, but who al
ways seems to come up short, to be
the victim of some bizarre bounce.
A runner-up in the 1983 Masters,
Kite had the lead in the final round
of the 1984 gathering at Augusta
National, then hit a 7-iron shot on
the 12th hole that hit the bank of a
water hazard and rolled backed into
the water.
A runner-up in the 1978 British
Open, Kite had the lead in the final
round in 1985 at Royal St. George,
then saw one shot drift away and his
chances disappear in the brush and
brambles.
In 1982, he was the victim of an
80-foot birdie putt by Ed Fiori in a
playoff for the Bob Hope Classic. In
1981, Kite finished 10th or better a
staggering 21 times, yet won only
once.
And when things turned his way
last weekend, when a massive col
lapse of the other contenders put
him in position Sunday to win the
Western Open, it was almost beyond
his understanding.
“There are times when you go
into the last round with the lead, and
play your heart out and shoot a good
score and somebody has one bettet
and you lose.
“Then, maybe on the very next
week, something like this happens.
It just makes no sense,” Kite said.
But it made him a winner again
going into the PGA, which begins
Thursday at the Inverness Club.
“Even if I hadn’t won, I’d feel very
good about things right now,” he
said. “I finally put a good last round
together, and that’s something I
haven’t been doing lately,” he said,
then told the story of his arrival in
Chicago last week.
“I’d been in position to win at the
Buick (Open) and played bad in the
last round. I come into O’Hare, and
you know what that’s like under the
best of circumstances. I wasn’t very
happy. I couldn’t find the people
that were supposed to meet us. Then
I ran into a friend, just by accident,
at the baggage claim, and I was pre
tty grumpy.
What a difference a week makes.
“Now, I’m on top of the world
again. I feel I’ve gotten back some of
that consistency, that my game is
pretty good.”

Birmingham, Ala. (ap) —
jinlmy Bragan has been with the
Bthern League since 1954, as a
^Her, manager and now as presi-
||leni and he has never seen anything
|keilu'imp.n i bo ( u ksonis making
l>n|he league.
Everywhere the Heisman Trophy
Jviniter from Auburn has played
He he joined the Memphis team
tune 30, attendance has increased
pramaticaily.
■Re fits in the category of some of
hi best I’ve ever seen,” Bragan said.
j'Hf s sure stimulated some interest.
There have been no players that I
pll with the same affect on atten-
fcce.”
At St. Petersburg, Fla., President
john Johnson of the National Asso-
(iation of Professional Leagues, has
pi around minor league baseball
Je 1947.
“I really can’t recall anybody else
>vh<> has had the same kind of im
pact,” Johnson said. “I can’t come up
with anybody.”
Bob Willis, general manager of
the Orlando, Fla., team, said, “We’ve
been selling the fire out of tickets for
the ‘Bo Show.’”
Memphis begins a four-game
stand at Orlando today.
From there, Memphis goes to
Jacksonville, Fla., where General
Manager Peter Bragan Jr. said, “We
anticipate drawing 15,000 for the se
ries, which is way up.”
At Gharlotte, N.C., the attendance
was 10,744 for a four-game series
against Memphis, compared to
4,703 the previous four games.
Jackson, said Chattanooga Gen
eral Manager Bill Lee, “makes all of
us in the front offices look like gen
iuses when we have great crowds.
“However, it’s ego-deflating to
know he can come in and draw
greater crowds than we can through
promotions.”
At Charlotte, General Manager
Frances Crockett said Jackson ac
counted for sellouts of 2,900 in
Memphis’ games there compared to
an average of about 1,500.
“When it came out in the paper
that he had signed, they were calling
for tickets,” she said.
Although Jackson, who had
played only 17 games this year, got
off to a slow' start at bat, he has
raised his average to .263. Fourteen
of his 31 hits have been for extra
bases, including five home runs.
At home, said Memphis General
Manager George Lapides, Jackson
probably has meant an extra 200
customers for each of the 20 games.
Jackson, who grew up near Bir
mingham, will make his first pro
baseball appearance here Aug. 21-
-23.
General Manager Art Clarkson
said average Birmingham atten
dance is 3,000 but he expects three
capacity crowds of 11,000.
“People are coming in every day
to buy tickets,” he said.
“The best promotion of all is win
ning baseball,” Clarkson said. “I
used to say the second best is promo
tion, but now we’ve got Mr. Bo Jack-
son and that’s a rarity.”

■■BOSTON (AP) — Dennis “Oil
Boyd, his spirits and enthu-
siasm tempered by two suspensions,
Jbegins a new season with the Boston
(Red Son tonight with his first pitch
ing assignment in nearly a month.
jffiMthongh Boyd has been idle
since July 8, Manager John McNa
mara is confident that the wiry right
hander is ready to go back to work in
a gune with the Chicago White Sox.
B'With his build, he probably could
fall out of bed in December and be
, abl e to pitch,” McNamara said, after
welcoming Boyd back last week.
Boyd, an extrovert since he first
"oined the Red Sox late in the 1982
son, has been uncharacteristically
|uiet since his latest troubles which
an July 10 when he went into a
e after learning he had not been'
?sen for the Amercian League
All-Star team.
H^he 26-year-old hurler, with an
1" 11-6 record and a 3.71 FRA appar-
intends to let his pitching do
n' 11 ' his talking, at least for now.
iT .iHAfter throwing 73 pitches in a 25-
va ' ' minute simulated game last Friday,
l orga"H
base 1
cents'
Boyd spurned a mob of sportswrit-
ers and sportscasters with a soft “1
don’t want to talk.”
He has maintained the silence
ever since, although he has re
mained highly visible with the first
locker inside the Boston clubhouse.
“Dennis doesn’t want to talk about
all the things that have happened,
but he very anxious to get back to
pitching,” Boyd’s wife Karen, told a
long-time acquaintance.
“We’re glad to have him back, we
need him” Boston General Manager
Lou Gorman said. “We just want to
get him back pitching and forget
about all to the other stuff.”
The “other stuff’ began when
Boyd felt he was snubbed in the se
lection of All-Star pitchers for the
second year in a row. He went into a
tirade in the clubhouse, cursing tea
mmates, ripping off his uniform and
storming out before a game with
California.
The next day the Red Sox sus
pended Boyd without pay, a total of
$6,450 for three days. The club had
a 55-29 record and was eight games
ahead in the American League East
at the time. Going into a series with
the White Sox Monday, Boston was
61-42 with a 4 1 /2-game lead.
After apologizing to teammates at
a closed meeting, Boyd was re
instated by the Red Sox at the All-
Star break. That didn’t last long. On
July 16, he was suspended again, less
than 24 hours after an alleged alter
cation with police near his condomi
nium in Chelsea.
As the Red Sox began a 3-10 road
swing on July 17, Boyd admitted
himself to the University of Massa
chusetts’ Medical Center in Worces
ter for various tests, including one
for the possible use of drugs.
One week later he was discharged,
after his wife was arrested for speed
ing and he was hauled into court and
fined $25 on an old speeding ticket.
Boyd, who had been hospitalized
for non-infectious hepatitis during
spring training and later fined one
day’s pay, $2,150, for being late to
the team’s final exhibiton game in
Florida, had maintained that he al
ways has tested free of drugs.
T he Red Sox, who announced in
reinstating him that Boyd would be
paid from July 14-31, made no com
ment on any possible drug testing.
However, they said that a group
of doctors, including team physician
Arthur Pappas, had established, “a
counseling and support program
which Boyd will follow for the re
mainder of the season.”

Rangers smash Royals 11-4
to muster Hall of Fame win
COOPERSTOWN, N Y. (AP) —
Toby Harrah hit a grand slam and
Gary Ward added a solo homer as
the Texas Rangers defeated the
Kansas City Royals 11-4 Monday in a
loosely played Hall of Fame baseball
game.
Two Texas coaches, Art Howe
and Joe Ferguson, played in the
game. Ricky Wright, the eventual
winning pitcher, started the game in
right field.
Wright doubled his first time up,
then Ferguson replaced Wright in
right in the top of the fifth inning.
Wright nonetheless batted in the
bottom of the fifth and started the
sixth as a pitcher.
He gave up a two-run homer to
Greg Pryor that put Kansas City in
front 3-1 in the sixth.
But Harrah's grand slam in the
bottom of the sixth and a six-run
seventh inning made Wright the
winning pitcher.
After Wright left the game as a
pitcher, his batting spot came up one
more time. The Rangers simply
skipped it. No out was charged.
Mike Mason, who is on the dis
abled list, pitched the first five in
nings for the Rangers, giving up one
run on a homer by George Brett.
Mason struck out eight batters.
Dennis Leonard was Kansas City’s
starter and pitched three innings.
He gave up Ward’s homer in die
first.
Jose Dejesus, borrowed from the
minors to pitch, relieved Leonard
and took the loss.
Texas had only four hits — a dou
ble and three singles — in its sev
enth-inning outburst.
