I CALLED TO TELL YOU THAT THEY KNOW BOTH THE PASS WORD AND the rvn word/ they broke throvoh my GATE, rah oyer SOME SOUTHERN miss, AND NOW THEY'RE RUNNING A/, ! Soviet baseball has very little in common with U.S. except fun MOSCOW (AP) — They wear Oak land A’s caps and Chicago Cubs shirts. They chew tobacco, dream of Don Mattingly and quote lines from the movie “Bull Durham.” And they’re the first to admit they have little in common with their American counterparts between the foul lines. Andrei, Alex, Gleb and Sasha are the future of Soviet baseball, the players who will lead the nation into Olympic glory during the 1990s. At least, that’s what Soviet officials are hoping. practices falls far short of American standards. So on a sunny autumn afternoon, the four jumped a fence to hit fun- goes on the green carpet at the new baseball stadium at Moscow State University. But the four Muscovites have no illusions about winning Olympic medals or beating the Americans at their national pastime. They just want to play ball and have fun. The Soviet Union may have taken hockey supremacy from Canada and won the basketball gold medal in two of the last five Olympics, but Andrei Tselikovsky said a similar revolution is unlikely in baseball this century. “It will take a long time,” he said. “Hockey and basketball were a dif ferent story, because the Soviet peo ple were interested from the start.” “We’ve got a lot of problems,” said Gleb Nosyrev, 21, a third baseman for Moscow State University who wears a New York Yankees’ cap and dreams of playing like Mattingly. The stadium, which opened Sept. 1, has major-league dimensions of 360 feet down the foul lines and 410 feet to center field. It is the first baseball park in Mos cow and still smells of fresh paint. The dugout benches resemble church pews and a Stalinesque skys craper hovers nearby, but the idyllic setting in the Lenin Hills gives it the feel of a ballpark in a small Ameri can town. Playing with Tselikovsky and No syrev are Alexei Grekov, an out fielder for Moscow State, and Men deleyev second baseman Alexander “Sasha”Vidyev. EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Art Shell became the first black head coach in modern NFL his tory Tuesday, when he was named to replace Mike Shana han, who was fired by the Los An geles Raiders. Shell, 42, who was the Raiders’ offensive line coach, was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year. He retired as a player after the 1982 season after 15 years as one of the top offensive tackles in pro football, all with the Raiders, and immediately joined the team’s coaching staff. Shell joined the Raiders as a third-round draft choice in 1968 from Maryland State, now Maryland-Eastern Shore. He played in 207 NFL games, third- highest total in Raiders’ history, and played in the Pro Bowl eight times. In 1923, Fritz Pollard became the first black to coach an NFL team, when the Hammond, Ind., Pros named him player-coach. A press conference was sched uled at 6:30 p.m. EDT to intro duce Shell as the Raiders’ head coach. Browns ’ Mack gets six month sentence for drug use “It’s the pitchers,” he said. “They think they’re great throwing all their curveballs and sliders, but they’re not.” Tselikovsky, 20, plays right field for the Menaeleyev team that made a groundbreaking trip to the United States last fall. He wears a Johns Hopkins cap, a Ted Williams Camp shirt and the easy smile of a kid play ing his favorite game. Grekov, 21, a journalism major, said he recently returned from a baseball fantasy camp in California and his glove bears the signatures of Tommy Lasorda, Orel Hershiser and Steve Garvey. Vidyev, 19, a slick-fielding in fielder, has an Oakland cap, a Cubs shirt and a worn glove a Little Leaguer would have outgrown long ago. CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns running back Kevin Mack was sentenced to six months in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to using cocaine. Judge Richard McMonagle of Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court sentenced Mack to the Mans field Reformatory, a facility south west of Cleveland for first-time of fenders younger than 30 years old, Cuyahoga County assistant prosecu tor Frank Gasper said. were dropped as part of Mack's guilty plea to drug use, Gasper said. “I think the judge had all the tools before him and he did what was proper,” Gasper said. “It’s a unique situation. Normally a judge would put him on probation, and if he came up with a dirty urine test, he could ship him to prison. Mack, 26, must spend a minimum Having grown up in Montreal and seen the Bull Durham video “at least 10 times,” Tselikovsky said the soc cer field on which his team usually They work on the 4-6-3 double play, shouting instructions at each other in Russian and cursing in En glish at a fumbled grounder. Tselikovsky said they had to hop the fence because the university re serves the field — built with $3 mil lion from Japan — for its own team and rents it out for 700 rubles a day. That’s about seven times Tseli- kovsky’s monthly salary, and he said the outlandish fee showed Soviet of ficials were not really interested in developing baseball talent. r ... ; P < of 30 days in jail before he can apply for probation, Gasper said. Mack was being held at the county jail Tuesday. Ohio law requires he be sent to the reformatory within five days of sentencing, said Louis Kulis, operations chief at the county sher iff s department. Mack was arrested June 28 while inside a car parked on a Cleveland street. Police said they found 11 packets of cocaine valued at $50 each inside the car. Mack also was charged with co caine trafficking, possession of crim inal tools and using a motor vehicle for drug abuse, but those charges “Mack told officers he had a drug problem while he was in Los An geles,” Gasper said. “Maybe the | judge felt he was not a first-time of fender.” Mack’s sentence could have I ranged from probation to 18 months in prison for the guilty plea, conn bailiff Sam Bobko said. Bobko said McMonagle reviewed a comprehen sive background profile of Mack be-1 fore sentencing him. After his arrest, Mack spent a month in the Cleveland Clinic, un dergoing an extensive drug evalua tion, and has not yet played for the Browns this season. Following his arrest, the NFL sus pended Mack for the first exhibition game and the first three games of the regular season. HELP WANTED Wanta turn that free time between classes into $$$?
