All-Star wins
remain elusive
for ‘White Rat’
CINCINNATI (AP) — The third
time held little charm for St. Louis
Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog.
Herzog became the first National
League all-star manager to lose
three games when the American
League allowed the NL only five hits
in a 2-1 victory Tuesday night.
The AL has won just three of the
last 17 All-Star games — all three
against Herzog-managed teams.
The “White Rat,” as Herzog’s
called, accepted infamy gracefully.
“I’d like to have won, don’t get me
wrong,” Herzog said, munching on
barbecued ribs in the NL manager’s
office.. “You always want to win. But
I don’t think it’s any big thing.”
Herzog’s 1983 All-Star team lost
13-3 in Chicago’s Comiskey Park,
and his 1986 squad was beaten 3-2 in
the Houston Astrodome. Six man
agers have lost three or more All-
Star games, but no NL manager had
suffered three defeats before.
The reasons were familiar and
dismaying for Herzog, who has
watched his Cardinals team struggle
this season on offense.
“I’ve managed three All-Star
games and they’ve scored six runs in
those three,” Herzog said. “It re
minds me of my present team.”
In fact, the National League’s only
run was manufactured, Cardinals-
style, in the fourth inning. St. Louis
outfielder Vince Coleman singled,
stole second, took third on catcher
Terry Steinbach’s throwing error
and scored on a wild pitch.
Otherwise, it was a familiar scene
for Herzog — his hitters throttled by
good pitching and good glovework.
The Cardinals are one of the wea
kest offensive teams in the league
and are last in home runs.
The NL had its best scoring op
portunity late in the game snuffed
out in the seventh when New York
Yankees first baseman Don Mat
tingly made an outstanding grab of
Andy Van Slyke’s grounder and got
an inning-ending out, finishing off a
two-on, two-out opportunity.
Scandals still rocking SWC
Former SMU linebacker doesn’t
regret turning in football program
DALLAS (AP) — Former South
ern Methodist football player David
Stanley, Whose remarks to a Dallas
television station launched the inves
tigation that killed the school’s foot
ball program, says he has no regrets
about his role in the 1986 scandal.
And while SMU is serving its sen
tence, Stanley returned to football
Tuesday night as a member of the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Ca
nadian Football League.
SMU deserved the “death pen
alty,” Stanley said, but not him.
“I know people in Dallas still hate
me, but I don’t care,” Stanley told
the Dallas Times Herald from Van
couver, British Columbia, where his
new team opened its regular season
Tuesday night. “I had to get on with
my life and make a living. Football is
still the thing I do best.”
In November 1986, Stanley told
Dallas television station WFAA that
SMU paid him and his mother a
monthly stipend after the school had
been put on probation.
Under the so-called “death pen
alty,” SMU’s football program was
suspended in 1987 and limited to
seven road games in 1988. With no
scholarships to offer in 1987 and
only 15 in 1988, the university de
cided to suspend the 1988 schedule.
he had been lifting weights and run
ning for more than two years.
“He’s still very rusty, obviously,
and it’s hard to tell exactly how good
he can be, but he’s got good size (6-1,
225), excellent speed and great
toughness,” Winnipeg head coach
Mike Riley said. “His past is past.
And the problems at SMU went
much deeper than David Stanley. All
I’m concerned with is he had a great
preseason and has added an element
of toughness to this football team.”

Strange will let ‘play do talking’ in Britain
LYTHAM, England (AP) — Cur
tis Strange, declining to become in
volved in an “us against them” con
frontation, is the carrier of
American hopes going into the Brit
ish Open Golf Championship.
“I’ll let my clubs do the talking, let
my score do the talking. That’s the
way it should be,” the U.S. Open
champion said before a final practice
round for the tournament Wednes
day.
His remark was in response to a
controversial declaration by British
Ryder Cup captain Tony Jacklin that
a European victory is all but certain
because “we’re better than they are.”
Jacklin listed five Europeans — all
members of his last victorious Ryder
Cup team — as the men most likely
to succeed in the tournament that,
except for in the United States, is
recognized as the world
championship.
They are current Masters cham
pion Sandy Lyle of Scotland, de
fending British Open title-holder
Nick Faldo of England, Seve Balles
teros of Spain, Bernhard Langer of
West Germany and Ian Woosnam of
Wales.
“I can’t see beyond a European
victory,” Jacklin said.
Greg Norman of Australia, both
ered by the wrist injury he sustained
in the U.S. Open, is not competing.
