The 24-game winner, who was struck on the elbow of his pitching arm Wednesday night by a ball sharply hit by Baltimore catcher John Stefero, said his right arm was “a little sore, a little puffy. But I think it’s going to be all right.” Team physician Dr. Arthur Pap pas said there was a bruise over a bone and that the amount of swell ing would determine how soon Clemens could pitch again. A few hours before Clemens was injured, Boston Manager John Mc Namara had named him the starting pitcher for Tuesday’s playoff opener at Boston against the California An- gds. “Pappas, I’m sure, is going to look at me and we’re going to go cautious with it,” Clemens said, “but I’m al most positive that I’m not going to miss my Tuesday start.” It was the latest in a series of inju ries to the Boston pitching staff. Vet eran Tom Seaver is an uncertainty for the playoffs because of a knee in jury. Clemens said he had put a little something extra on the ball he threw to Stefero, and was out of position when it was hit. “I was trying to get the ball down. I pushed off real hard and fell to the left, which really isn’t me,” he said. “Usually I’m set up perfectly to take any kind of ball hit back to me.” When Stefero swung at what Clemens said was a “with-the-seam fastball which will run away from a left-handed hitter,” it came right back at hitn. “I wanted to take it in the back if I could. But my arm was just right there. And then, it hit me smack on the elbow,” he said after losing his chance to become Boston’s first 25- game winner since Mel Parnell in -1949. Clemens said he was probably out of position because he had to keep his pitches down since umpires seem to be using a smaller strike zone late in the season. “I don’t know whether it is for the hitters or not. But it seems like the zones are getting a little bit tighter this time of year,” he said. TANK M C NAMARA by Jeff Miltar & Bill Hinds TUe QUART61?EACK , wVIO 16? PAIP IF T»4£R£ Of?

Whitmire says the Houston Astros will win the National League Championship Series, while Letter- man is betting on the New York Mets. If the Astros beat the Mets in the best-of-7 series, an enlarged photo of Whitmire and a team picture of the Astros will hang behind Letter- man’s desk for four consecutive nights of his show. If the Mets win, a bigger-than-life- size poster of Mets outfielder Moo- kie Wilson will adorn the mayor’s of fice. Letterman called Whitmire Wednesday afternoon to pose the friendly wager, the mayor’s spokes man, Paul Mabry, said. Mabry said Whitmire agreed to the photograph wager “after we told her who Mookie Wilson was.” Letterman phoned Whitmire dur ing his show — taped in midafter noon, Houston time — and aired during the show, which began at midnight Wednesday. As he talked to the mayor, Letterman displayed a huge photograph of the mayor. “There was some good-natured bantering back and forth about the series,” Mabry said. “She expressed a lot of confidence about the Astros, and he’s pulling for the Mets. “At one point he proposed a S1,000 wager and when she didni blush immediately, he backed off," Mabry said. There was a slight change of stakes, however. The photograph of Whitmire that Letterman proposed using was her long-since-discarded “Tootsie” look. Mabry said a more current photo of the mayor was be ing mailed to Letterman louse. Letterman’s wager was prompted by a bet placed earlier between Whit mire and New York Mayor Ed Kodi. In that wager, if the Astros win,i Houston Proud banner will be flowi in Central Park. If the Mets win,an “I Love NY” banner will be waving across from city hall at Tranquis Park. Owner says Rangers not for sale ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers owner Eddie Chiles says he won’t sell his team after all and is looking forward to a success ful future. He said his decision was in fluenced by both the franchise turn ing the first net profit in its 15-year history and encouraging signs in the energy industry and baseball in gen eral. He vowed to maintain the Rang ers’ payroll near its 1986 level, which ranked 25th in baseball, according to figures distributed at last week’s owners meeting. “I’m not looking for options,” Chiles said. “I could look for another buyer sure, if I wanted to. Right now I don’t want to. We have a hell of a baseball team and the finest manage ment group in baseball.” With his national oil-field service company. Western Company of America, in dire financial shape, it Rangers raise ticket prices DALLAS (AP) — The Texas Rangers raised their ticket prices, citing an increase in state taxes and operating costs. The price hike was 50 cents for 22,895 of Arlington Stadium's 42,876 seats, with field and mez zanine boxes going up from S8.50 to S9; reserved seats jump ing from S7.50 to $8 and plaza seats going from $6.50 to $7. seemed certain he would have to sell the team. Chiles said that if it ever came down to selling Western or the Rangers, it would have to be the Rangers. But for now he is looking f orward to enjoying the team's suc cess. The Rangers hit more homeruit this year than in any previous sei son. And of course the botiomlincis they’ve won more games than e«t before. The Rangers this year have man aged to keep their payroll at a b level mostly by keeping nine rookie on the roster at the league's mini mum salary level of 160,000. With those players eligible forsai ary arbitration, it appears the sala ries will increase reflecting tht team's success. Chiles said that won! be the case. “If you agree with that, of count you are going to lose money," ht said. That’s what has happened i« baseball for the last 10 years. Idem agree with it. I don’t agree with tht supposition the Rangers’salariesatt going to go up every year. Manage ment has to control salaries.” Rather Than Q-Dropping.. Try Tutoring!
