Page 10 The Battalion Friday, October 27,198S i—Letter to the Editor t Get real, Alan! SPORTS EDITOR: Someone please tell Lehman to get real! So Oakland will probablv win the Series this year. I hardly find that reason to support the argu ment that the DH rule makes one league better than the other. Instead why don’t you look back to the mid-seventies and count who has won more All-Star games and Series? In response to the AL West dominance as a reason for the DH rule,! have two responses. One, look at the records. What did you say Lehman! Didn’t they also have designated hitters? I guess that would be asignof how the DH rule causes teams in the American League to be inferior, Hey, I used your same argument. Secondly, what goes around come around. Two years ago everyone called the AL West the ALWeaks. Min nesota won the division with a record barely over .500 (Guess what, they did win the Series). I believe the New York Mets were winning over IOC games a year also. And without a DH! Any way, the next time you want to make a rational argument Leh man, please research the past two years and please don’t categorize an entire league of fans as Losers.

Cowboys face suit because of poor start CARTHAGE (AP) — Dallas Cow boys’ coach Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones aren’t having a good year. The team is 0-7; Herschel Walker’s defected; star quarterback Troy Aikman has suffered a hand injury. Now comes a Texas attorney who’s threatening to sue because Jones hasn’t turned the team around as he promised. Attorney Robert Goodwin of Cen ter is demanding refunds for dis gruntled fans or he may go to court under the state’s deceptive trade act. The Cowboys are off to their worst start since they became a fran chise in 1960. They were 3-13 last year, before Jones bought the team and prom ised they’d be competitive, if not Su per Bowl contenders, before too long. Well, they’ve failed, Goodwin says, and fans deserve their money back. The attorney told reporters at a news conference Monday that he’s written to Johnson and Jones de manding a refund policy for disen chanted ticket holders. If they don’t comply, he could file a class-action suit on behalf of those fans under the state’s deceptive trade laws. They’ve got 30 days, he says. “They’ll be mad, but if they’re smart, and they haven’t shown any such signs of that to this point, diet will do what I’ve asked,” he said. Goodwin says a part of the state's heritage has been tarnished by the Cowboys’ inglorious start. He asked Johnson and Jones to consider chan ging the teams name “to avoid fur ther embarrassment to a proud past.” And there are the young people to think about, too. “You must imagine the anguish and abuse some 7-year-old child who proudly purchased and displayed a Cowboy jersey must have sufferedai your hands this year.” “Regardless of what the future seasons may bring, it is apparent to all football fans that you nave for feited this season, and all consumer monies invested herein,” Goodwin wrote. Goodwin told Johnson and Jones he’s not kidding. “Although you have made this team a joke, this de mand is not,” he wrote. Greg Aiello, sports information director for the Cowboys, said Wednesday that refunds probablv aren’t in the cards. The club regrets that the fans are upset, but advised them to be pa tient. BROOKSHIRE'S We're looking for the best to put in our bag! Ruddock understands Tyson’s postponement OAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) — De prived of a chance to fight Mike Ty son in the ring, the Donovan “Ra zor” Ruddock camp settled for a war of words Thursday. Tyson, the undisputed heavy weight champion, bowed out Wednesday night from the sched uled Nov. 18 bout in Edmonton af ter complaining of a condition simi lar to pneumonia. Dr. Gerhardt Sollbach, physician for the Edmonton Boxing and Wres tling Commission, confirmed the di agnosis and compared the ailment to pleurisy, an inflammation of the lin ing around the lungs. “We don’t want to ever question the doctors who put their profes sional livelihood on the line,” Rud dock’s business manager, Murad Muhammad, said at a news confer ence Thursday. “He is definitely sick. “What we are saying is if it was an athlete of less ability than Donovan Razor Ruddock, even with the sick ness, the 18th would still be on. “But Mike Tyson realized that Do novan Razor Ruddock is just no or dinary athlete. You have to be 100 per cent when you step into the ring with him. So he needs to postpone it to get himself mentally and physi cally in shape for the fight that he now knows is (legitimate).” Ruddock, 22-1-1, was more re strained but still disappointed. “I don’t know if they’re playing psyche games,” the Canadian fighter said. “But I’m going to be ready. that’s the bottom line. It doesn’t mat ter if it’s a month from now, two months from now, whatever. “When that time comes, I’m going to be ready.” But fearing cancellation and the loss of a $ 1 million payday, Ruddock and Muhammad will just have to wait. “We’re the challenger, we don't want to sue Tyson,” Muhammad said. “We don’t want to say he forfeited the contract, because then were playing right into their hands. What ever they want to do, we’re going to have to submit to it, even if it’s not within the rules and regulations. It’s in Don King’s court.” By contract, King has 60 days to name a date and site for the match, presuming Tyson’s return to health, and is obliged to reschedule the bout within 90 days. But Muhammad made it dear Ruddock is willing to wait until late next year for a shot at Tyson, un beaten in 37 fights as a pro. Ruddock’s trainer, Janks Morton of Maryland, accused Tyson of un derestimating the ability of the gran ite-muscled Ruddock, ranked fifth in the world after defeating James (Bonecrusher) Smith. “They sense it, they feel it and they’re panicking,” Morton said. A1 Braverman, a King spokesman in New Jersey, countered: "Whena guy like Mike Tyson complains of chest pains and a guy like Mike Tv- son can’t give it his all, whafstheuse of having the fight?” Correa free agent after being sent to minors Fric L K So ey ByRi Of The Te> nerbai look p a Pors- Smi he wa< forme Lewis, impos: in foui Lew Smith and ei| Smi wall ir lists ca he was Lester he rea and-a- “if: plishm come.’ If h has be be All grad u c tercep tackles Not never i his can lar ge , 1988 a R.C.
