“
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston
Red Sox, coming home after sweep
ing the first two games of the World
Series in New York, are tired of out
siders calling them outsiders.
“We don’t pay any attention,”
American League batting champion
Wade Boggs of the Red Sox said.
“We were picked to finish fifth com
ing out of spring training. Then,
they picked us to fold after the All-
Star break, and then we were sup
posed to fold when we started play
ing in our division.
“We were supposed to lose the
playoffs, and then we were supposed
to lose the World Series. So, what’s
next?”
The Red Sox beat the heavily fa
vored Mets 1-0 and 9-3 in the first
two games of the Series at Shea Sta
dium. Only one team, last year’s
Kansas City Royals, has come back to
win a Series after losing the first two
games at home.
Boston accustomed to beating the odds
: played tonight at
Dennis "Oil Can”
“Losing two at home and then
going to the other ballpark is
rough,” Mets pitcher Ron Darling
said. “We were pretty down after los
ing the second game. But we can
turn it on if we have to, and we have
to.”
The third game of the best-of-
seven Series will be
Fenway Park, with
Boyd, 16-10, going for Boston
against Mets left-hander Bob Ojeda,
18-5, who was traded by the Red Sox
to New York last November. Darling
will come back on three days’ rest to
pitch Game 4.
Boston Manager John McNamara
announced Monday that right
hander A1 Nipper, 10-12 during the
regular season, will start Game 4 for
the Red Sox. Nipper was bypassed
during previous postseason play be
cause the Red Sox went to a three-
man rotation.
While the Red Sox are aware they
were considered underdogs, Boggs
said the appellation never fit.
“Sure, we’ve been slighted,”
Boggs said Monday as the club pre
pared to work out. “And here we are
two up in the World Series. Some
thing’s wrong. Somebody doesn’t
know too much about baseball, or
we’ve fooled everybody.
“(Las) Vegas can put the odds up
on the board and stick ’em,” said
Boggs, who hit .357 during the sea
son and had two doubles in Sunday’s
victory. “The odds don’t hit or field
or tell you how much heart a team
has.”
No team ever has lost the first
three games and come back to win a
seven-game series. The Mets realize
the seriousness of the situation but
do not consider it hopeless.
“It’s the same situation as Kansas
City last year,” Mets first baseman
Keith Hernandez said, “so we know
it can be done . . . These two games
have been uncharacteristic of us.”
The Mets’ offensive problems had
Manager Davey Johnson worried
enough to make some lineup
changes in Game 2, but not enougn
to hold a workout on Monday, an off
day.
“The club is a little tired, as our
performance on the field has
shown,” Mets pitching coach Mel
Stottlemyre said when asked why the
workout was cancelled.
Stottlemyre said the Mets were fa
miliar with Fenway Park from an ex
hibition game they played here Sept.
4.
Sunday night, Johnson replaced
third baseman Ray Knight with
Howard Johnson and left fielder
Mookie Wilson with Danny Heep, ei
ther of whom could be the desig
nated hitter Tuesday night against
Boyd. Johnson went 0-for-4, al
though he hit one to the wall in right
field in the fourth inning, and Heep
was 0-for-2 with a walk.
Stottlemyre, speaking at a Mon
day news conference for Johnson,
said Knight would be back at third
and Wilson in left for Game 3 with
Heep as the designated hitter. The
DH is being used, for the first time
in this series, only in the American
League park.
The Red Sox had 18 hits, two
short of the World Series record,
against Mets ace Dwight Gooden
and four relievers Sunday night.
Early onslaught lifts
New York past Denver
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ. (AP)
— Ken O’Brien threw a 23-yard
touchdown pass to Wesley Walker
and an unyielding New York de
fense shut clown Denver’s high-scor
ing offense as the Jets defeated the
previously unbeaten Broncos 22-10
in an NFL game Monday night.
O'Brien, who missed New York’s
last game against New England with
la knee injury, came on late in the
B second period after Pat Ryan was
■ sacked by Denver’s Karl Mecklen-
■ burg. On his second play, O’Brien
■ found Walker speeding down the
■ right sideline behind safety Dennis
■ Smith for the touchdown that made
■ it 20-0.
[ By then, the Jet defense had es-
Itablished its dominance. Ranked
■ fourth in the NFL against the rush
J— Denver led the league — the Jets
■ never allowed the Broncos to get
■ moving.
I Although it sputtered in the sec-
Ipnd half, the Jets offense already
had put the game out of reach. Led
by Ryan, the Jets put together time-
consuming marches of 65, 56 and 49
yards in the first half.
Pat Leahy kicked field goals of 27
and 25 yards, giving him 22 consec
utive successful kicks, one short of
the NFL record set by Washington’s
Mark Moseley.
Johnny Hector ran one yard for a
touchdown to account for New
York’s other touchdown. It was Hec
tor’s seventh of the season, tying him
for the NFL lead with New England
receiver Stanley Morgan.
With 30 seconds remaining in the
half, Elway was sacked by cor-
nerback Bobby Humphery in the
end zone for a safety, making it 22-0.
Rich Karlis barely made a 47-yard
field goal early in the third period,
then Elway got the Broncos to the
New York 8. But he was intercepted
by a diving Kyle Clifton at the one to
end that threat and the Jets had little
trouble the rest of the way.
No budget cuts planned for women's athletics
A&M women’s sports try to increase funds
By Molly Pepper
Reporter
Although women’s athletics at Texas A&M
hasn’t had its funding cut, the Athletic Depart
ment is working to generate more funds and
cut back on its spending, Assistant Athletic Di
rector for Women Lynn Hickey said.
Women’s athletics receives $1.38 million
from the athletic department and the Univer
sity, but the program probably doesn’t generate
$10,000, Hickey said. Women’s athletics is
working on generating ticket sales through pro
motion of their contests, she said.
Hickey, who also is the A&M women’s bas
ketball coach, said women’s athletics rear
ranged some staff positions and budgets and
pulled in money from different areas to hire a
full-time promotions person strictly for wom
en’s athletics.
In previous years, promotions for women’s
athletics was clone by the coaches, assistant
coaches and athletes. With a full-time promo
tions person, Hickey said she hopes everyone
will be able to do a better job and women’s ath
letics will get more recognition.
Money had been added to the Women’s ath
letics funds over the last few years, but Hickey
said those were to cover the increased cost of
scholarships and travel expenses. Otherwise,
the budget basically has remained level, she
said.
Hickey said the only programs that usually
produce revenue at a major university are foot
ball, men’s basketball, baseball and sometimes
women’s basketball.
Women's basketball at A&M generates
money from ticket sales but nothing compared
to what it’s given in funding from the Athletic
Department and University, she said.
Sports that have television revenues, such as
footoall and basketball, are where the money is
involved, she said. She added this is especially
true this year as an average of 62,000 tickets are
being sold per A&M football game.
“As long as we’re just having crowds of 500 to
1,000 people at our contests for volleyball and
basketball we’re not going to be able to make a
large amount of money,” she said.
Although the situation is not perfect for
women’s athletics, they are in good shape finan
cially, Hickey said.
"The thing that we’re looking for is some
budgets to do some things promotionally and to
be able to hire some more staff," she said.
"Some of our coaches do not have assistants and
some of the assistants we have are graduate as
sistants and aren’t getting paid very much.
“As far as a base to operate off of, I think
most of our teams are well funded for travel
and equipment. You always want to add to it,
but at the same time I think we’re in a positive
position.”
Besides trying to generate funds, women’s
athletics has also tried to cut back on expenses.
“We’ve talked to the coaches about concen
trating on recruiting in-state because it is less
expensive,” she said. “And then once you sign
the students it doesn’t cost as much scholarship-
wise.”
Women basketball players and some athletes
in other sports are on full scholarships. Because
tuition is four and onfe-half times more expen
sive than for resident students, it is significantly
cheaper to recruit athletes within Texas.
