Judge refuses to halt
Winfield court order
HOUSTON (AP) — A federal
judge asked to block an order
that New York Yankees’ out
fielder Dave Winfield pay
$234,129 to a woman pending a
divorce trial said Thursday he
could not rule on the issue.
U.S. District Judge David
Hittner said he had to abstain
from making a ruling because
Winfield’s attorneys didn’t prop
erly pursue claims in state court
first.
Winfield’s attorneys had
sought relief in federal court
from a state judge’s ruling that
the player pay the money to
Sandra Renfro by this past Tues
day.
A jury ruled last month that
Renfro is Winfield’s common-law
wife. The couple have a 6-year-
old daughter.
Winfield wanted the order
stayed while his attorneys ap
pealed the ruling, which was is
sued by a jury in State District
Judge Allen Daggett’s court.
An Aug. 22 hearing has been
set for Daggett to consider Win
field’s request to stay the pay
ment.
Daggett ruled July 10 that
Winfield pay $10,500 a month in
temporary support for Renfro
pending their divorce trial. He
also ordered him to pay $3,500 a
month child support for his
daughter, Lauren Shanel, plus
$3,000 in dental bills, hospital
bills and repairs to Renfro’s prop
erty, set at $21,129. Most of the
sum — $210,000 — is for Renf
ro’s attorneys’ fees.
Alexander has said that Win
field, who testified he earns $1.4
million a year plus revenue from
seven Burger King franchises, is
willing to pay the child support,
the home repairs and the medical
bills. But he is opposed to paying
support for the woman and the
attorney fees.
Cincinnati rips Astros, 18-2
Reds break league record with 16 1 st-inning hits
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cin
cinnati Reds scored 14 runs in the
first inning on a major-league re
cord 16 hits and went on to beat the
Houston Astros 18-2 Thursday.
Seven Reds had two hits off Hous
ton starter Jim Clancy and reliever
Bob Forsch in the first, breaking a
century-old record.
The previous record for most bat
ters with two hits in an inning was set
by Chicago against Detroit in 1883.
The Reds fell one run short of the
National League record for most
runs in one inning, set by Brooklyn
in the first inning against Cincinnati
in 1952.
The previous one-inning hit re
cord was set by the Boston Red Sox,
who had 14 against Detroit in 1953.
The NL record of 12 hits in one in
ning was held by the St. Louis Cardi
nals, who did it against Cincinnati in
1925.
Twelve of the first-inning hits
were singles, breaking another ma
jor-league mark. St. Louis had 11
singles against Cincinnati in 1925,
and Boston tied that mark against
Detroit in 1953.
Luis Quinones, Eric Davis, Ken
Griffey, Rolando Roomes, Todd
Benzinger, Jeff Reed and Ron Oes-
ter all had two hits in the first inning
Thursday.
The 16 hits broke the Reds’ club
record of 12 in one inning, set in
1942 against the New York Giants
and tied in 1977 against Atlanta.
Clancy, 5-9, faced seven batters
and retired none.
He allowed seven runs on six hits
and a walk. Forsch faced the next 13
batters, allowing 10 hits and seven
runs.
The first eight Reds reached base
before pitcher Tom Browning
grounded out.
The Reds then pounded Forsch
for nine straight hits before he re
tired Mariano Duncan and Qui
nones to end the inning.
Duncan and Quinones tied a ma
jor-league record with three plate
appearances in an inning.
Duncan led off with a walk, stole
second, and moved to third on a
bunt single by Quinones.
Davis singled home Duncan, and
Griffey hit his seventh home run of
the season to make it 4-0.
Singles by Roomes, Benzinger
and Reed made it 5-0 and finished
Clancy. Reed scored on a wild pitch
by Forsch, and Oester’s RBI double
made it 7-0 before Browning
grounded out for the first out of the
inning.
Duncan doubled home Oester
and moved to third on Quinones’
second hit of the inning.
Davis and Griffey followed with
run-scoring singles to give the Reds
a 10-0 lead.
Roomes’ infield hit loaded the
bases, which Benzinger cleared with
a double, making it 13-0. Benzinger
moved to third on Reed’s second hit
and scored on Oester’s single.
Browning singled to reload the
bases but Forsch retired Duncan and
Quinones on fly balls to end the in-
ning.
The Reds scored three more runs
in the seventh and one in the eighth.
Browning, 9-10, pitched an eight-
hitter. Houston’s runs came on
Glenn Davis’ 24th homer in the sec
ond inning and Rafael Ramirez’ RBI
triple in the fourth.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Texans
ill be getting a first-hand look at
re U.S. athletic future as many of
nation’s top younger performers
bmpete in the Alamo City.
The 23rd AAU-USA Junior
Dlympic Games, which' open Satur-
ay and run through Aug. 12, will
e the largest gathering of athletes
Buring 1989, according to the
vent’s organizers.
A record 5,065 athletes had regis
tered by Thursday evening to com-
ete in the 14 sports during the
ight-day festival. The 1986 games
held in St. Louis drew 4,848 compet
itors.
I “This is our showcase event,” said
litan Hooley, national director of
Sports programs for the Amateur
thletic Union. “All 50 states will be
epresented.”
Many in San Antonio'^ee the festi
val, which is attracting athletes 8 to
19 years old, as way to step into the
national sports spotlight.
“This is our opportunity to show
the sports world that San Antonio
can host these events,” Bob Cole
man, chairman of the San Antonio
Sports Foundation, said. “We’ve
been working on this for two years.
Look for San Antonio to become a
major sports city.”
Coleman’s group originally at
tempted to get the AAU to hold the
1991 Olympic Festival in San Anto
nio, but lost out to Los Angeles.
“With the lack of experience, we
couldn’t beat Los Angeles,” Coleman
added. “But the AAU was so im
pressed, they gave us the ’89 Junior
Olympics.”
In January, voters approved a
half-cent sales tax increase to finance
the construction of a 65,000-seat
domed stadium.
The festival events will take place
at Trinity University, Incarnate
Word College and three high school
athletic complexes. Athletes will
compete in baseball, basketball, bi
athlon, field hockey, gymnastics, ka
rate, multi-event sports (triathlon,
f >entathlon, heptathlon and decath-
on), soccer, swimming, syn
chronized swimming, table tennis,
track and field, weight lifting and
wrestling.
A strong local favorite will be 7-
foot center Shaquille O’Neal, a high
school basketball All-America who
led Cole High to a 68-1 record for
the past two seasons. O’Neal signed
to play for Louisiana State.
Other strong basketball teams are
expected from Indiana, New York,
Michigan and Virginia.
About half those coming are track
and field performers, Hooley said.
Marcel Carter, from Topeka,
Kan., won the senior age division
(17-19) 100- and 200-meter dashes
last year and is considered the
sprinter to beat. Curtis Johnson,
from Palmetto, Fla., accomplished
the same double in the intermediate
age division (15-16) last year. This
year, he will compete in the senior
division.
The tiny South Texas town of
Yoakum will be well-represented at
the Junior Olympics too.
Kalleen Madden returns to de
fend her gold medal in the heptath
lon, while Jennifer Myers won the
1,500- and 3,000-meter runs in the
intermediate division last year.
Quick says he never
encouraged ‘unhealthy’
loss of weight at UT
AUSTIN (AP) — Former Univer
sity of Texas swimming coach Rich
ard Quick says he never encouraged
his female swimmers to lose weight
“in an unhealthy manner,” although
UT say several athletes suffer from
eating disorders.
During the past 18 months, 12
UT female athletes, mostly swim
mers, were diagnosed as having a se
rious eating disorder, the Austin
American-Statesman reported in a
series of articles published this week.
Quick, now coach at Stanford,
said he tried to help those with prob
lems.
“I was aware of a few eating disor
ders on our team at the University of
Texas,” Quick said, answering ques
tions after a swimming meet in Los
Angeles Wednesday night. “We did
everything in our power to get them
the kind of help they needed to han
dle the problem.”
Quick, who led the Lady Long
horns to five NCAA championships
in six years, emphasized weight in
training and competition and in
sisted that the swimmers remain un
der maximum weight limits. Those
who failed to do so were required to
participate in special workouts.
“Eating disorders run in varying
degrees of magnitude. It’s a very se
cretive thing and it’s hard to get a
handle on. But we were sensitive to
the potential of those problems,” he
said.

SAN MARCOS (AP) —Bruce Da
vis does an excellent 300-pound ver-
bal tap dance when asked about his
weight.
While dancing around the subject
of what he weighs this season, Davis
admits to starting last season at 315
and gaining weight during the year.
Davis is once again a big man in
the highly praised Oiler offensive
line and once again fighting the
bulge.
Mystery surrounded Davis’ girth
last year and he heard enough “fat”
jokes to last a lifetime.
But when the season started, the
joking stopped. Davis started all 16
games and had what coaches called a
Pro Bowl-type year.
Davis expects similar results this
season.
“I just take one year at a time,”
Davis said. “If I start looking ahead,
things don’t work out that well for
me.”
Davis, 33, at 6-6 and in more than
315 pounds, is the heaviest and most
experienced Oiler, starting his 11th
year in the league.
Davis has taken a small peek into
the future to observe the Oilers’
first-round draft pick, Florida’s Da
vid Williams, who will be Davis’
backup this season.
But Davis isn’t intimidated.
“If you have been around the
league awhile and you are secure in
your own abilities, nobody else is a
threat to you,” Davis said.
“The fact is, we have no other
backups and you had to fill that void
with a quality player.”
Davis, who has had to struggle for
recognition since his rookie year,
played a strong role in the Oilers’ of
fensive line last season.
Despite some outstanding seasons
with the Oakland Raiders and Oil
ers, Pro Bowl status has eluded Da
vis.
“I’ve had four Pro Bowl years and
for one reason or another I don’t
make the team,” Davis said. “I think
my level coming into the league may
have had something to do with it.”
The Oakland Raiders made Davis
their llth-round selection in 1979
out of UCLA where he played his fi
nal two seasons in the offensive line.
“Being an llth-round draft
choice hurts me,” Davis said. “If a
guy is a first- or second-round round
draft choice and he does well, they
all remember him. Consequently,
I’m overlooked.”
The Oilers acquired the durable
Davis from the Raiders in 1987. Da
vis started 11 games for the Oilers
that year but the player’s strike
ended his string of playing in 107
consecutive games.
“As long as my peers and team
mates and expecially my opponents
know that I can play, that’s very sat
isfying,” Davis said. “Still, it would be
nice to have a Pro Bowl under my
belt.”
Bates facing other challenges
besides those in training camp
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP)
— On May 24 something happened
to Bill Bates that was like being
blindsided by a tight end, fullback,
and guard on the same play: He be
came the father of triplets.
“It’s just another challenge in my
life,” said the Dallas Cowboys strong
safety who is battling Vince Albrit
ton for a starting job.
The challenges read from left to
right on your depth chart: Graham,
3 pounds, 12 ounces, Brianna; 3-2,
and Hunter 3-7.
“They were so premature that
they were in the hospital for eight
weeks,” Bates said. “They were only
home three weeks before I had to
come to training camp. It’s been
wild. It’s been a big circus like the
one in training camp. There hasn’t
been all the sleep in the world.”
Bates dreaded coming to camp.
He wanted to be around while his
wife, Denise, got back on her feet.
“Gosh, she was big, bigger than
Nate Newton,” Bates said. “But she’s
doing fine now.”
Bates said his mother-in-law and
parents had been helping out.
“I had a little personal rebellion
because I didn’t want to leave the ba
bies,” Bates said. “I had never been a
father before. I didn’t want to go
and I think any father would under
stand. I’m with the program now but
I still wish I was back in Dallas. ”
Bates came to camp at a slim 199
pounds because of his long days and
nights, helping Denise take care of
the babies.
“I think I may be a little quicker,”
said Bates, who is noted for his hard
tackles. “It will be a challenge to beat
out Vince. I guess it will all come
down to who has the heart.”
Bates was one of former coach
Tom Landry’s favorite players, and
Landry once said, “If I had a team
full of Bill Bateses I wouldn’t have to
worry much about anything.”
Bates even went to the Pro Bowl
one season as a special teams player
thanks, in part, to Landry’s praise.
“I miss coach Landry a lot but I
can see some good things in the new
coaching staff, too,” Bates said.
“They get you enthused and think
ing positive about what you’re doing.
If you have talent and it isn’t en
thused then you won’t have as good
a team.”
Johnson has been heaping effu
sive praise about Albritton’s work in
practices.
Bates knows.
“If I don’t start, I’ll still be the best
special teams player in the NFL you
can bet on that,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bates is settling for
nightly telephone reports from Dal
las about his triplets.
“Denise puts them up to the tele
phone and I can hear them
breathe,” Bates said. “It’s just like
talking to them.”
