Red Sox ace
will be ready
for playoffs
BOSTON (AP) — Roger Clem
ens, the ace of the Boston Red Sox
pitching staff who escaped a line
drive to the elbow with only a bruise,
said Thursday he was “almost posi
tive” he’ll be ready for the opener of
the American League
Championship Series next week.
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.

Whitmire sets another bet
as she takes on Letterman
HOUSTON (AP) — Mayor Kathy
Whitmire and talk show host David
Letterman have placed their bets.
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.”
