Mavs won’t dwell on
loss, look to future
SW!
DALLAS <AP) ~~ Dallas.owner
Donald Carter says the Maverk U
woh’f sit around pouting about
ty Portland in the
Of the NBA playoffs.
He said the first thing they’ll
do is sign forward Sam Perkins,
who is a free agent and -
some $3 million a year ..NHi
“I don’t plan on him leaving,”
Carter said after Dallas was
whipped 106-92 by Portland on
Tuesday night to sweep their
best-of-five series 30. ‘Thai
(signing Perkins) is pretty well al
ready done as far as I’m con
cerned, In my mind it’s done.
‘'When two people know they
want the same thing in the same
place, they’ll work it out. Norm’s
(general manager Norm Sonju)
has pretty well got that done in
my opinion.”
' Carter said he had confidence
coach Richie Adubato, who re
cently signed a contract, could
make the Mavs a better playoff
teaih next year.
W 1 feel empty, but I’ve been
emptier, though,’* Carter said.
.'/‘This season gave him an bpikw*- !
tuhity to prove what he could ac
complish and get out of the play
ers and that’s been a real plus/’
• Carter said all the distractions
created a season “that was tough
on the franchise. It was tough on
hit* and my family. It was tough
about Rick. He looks so unheal
thy.”
The Mavs get three first-round
draft picks m the June NBA
draft, including a lottery choice.
“I’m going to sbnd my. .-wife
(Linda) to the (May 20) lottery^..:
Carter said. “She can’t be worse
than what I’ve been getting.” i : : : ?j&
The Mavs get Washington’s
No. 1 selection from a I960 trade
involving Jay Vincent. Dallas
the eighth pick in the lottery
year and the seventh in I9B6. ; ...
“We’ve got a lot of ideas for
this team,” Carter said. “1*11 just
be the referee while Norm and
Rick and Richie decide what we
need to do.
“You gotta add something..:
You can’t play pat. We hail one :
excellent, excellent season and we
stood pat, and this club will never
stand pat again.”
Adubato took over the second
week in the season after john . ::
MacLeod was fired, the earliest:
dismissal in NBA history.
“This is not a season I’d say I
wish I had experienced,” Carter
said.
The Mavs also were torn by the
problems of center Roy Tarptey
who missed a third of the season !
by violating his drug aftercare
program.
Then Tarpley missed practices !
and was suspended For two
games.
Against Portland he scored
only six points.
Tarptey said he had a 24-hour
virus.
“I was up all night and I was
weak and that’s why I didn't play
well,” he said.
Tarpley, who had told a re
porter last week be wanted to be
traded, was singing a different
tune in the dressing room after
the game.
Summer Squall leads Derby
hopefuls at Churchill Downs
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — First
he was called Thunder Bolt, then
Stormy Weather, then Storm Cloud.
Finally, it was Summer Squall.
By any name, the colt is a leading
contender for Saturday’s Kentucky
Derby at Churchill Downs.
For a time in February it looked as
if Summer Squall was going no
where.
Having recovered from a hairline
fracture of the right-front cannon
bone that ended his five-race un
beaten campaign as 2-year-old, Sum
mer Squall bled during a workout
Feb. 15 at Gulfstream Park.
np-
bell, president of Dogwood Stable,
said of the bleeding. “There had
never been any indication of bleed
ing before. It was a fluky thing.”
Campbell and trainer Neil How
ard think the bleeding might have
been the result of a'fungus or bacte
ria.
“He was one of 35 horses who
bled during a 10-day period in Flor
ida, Campbell said.
Veterinarians gave the OK for
Summer Squall to start in the seven-
furlong Swale March 17 at Gulf-
stream and the colt finished second,
a length behind top sprinter House-
buster. Campbell said it “might have
been his best race, given the circum
stances.”
Two weeks later, Summer Squall
won the Jim Beam at Turfway Park
and two weeks after that won the
Blue Grass at Keeneland. Both races
were run at 1 Va miles on muddy
tracks.
Now comes the IV^-mile Derby,
and Summer Squall figures to be no
worse than the second betting choice
to unbeaten Mister Frisky, winner of
all 16 of his starts.

(Continued from page 9)
that day on he never missed a game
for 14 seasons.
In 1927, Gehrig was named Most
Valuable Player, an honor he was to
again receive in 1936. With 47 home
runs, 175 runs batted in and batting
.373, Gehrig had just what the
Yankees needed.
In the 1928 World Series, Gehrig
was battling .545, but he was second
to Ruth, who was hitting an
incredible .675. No matter what
Gehrig did, Ruth was always the
hero. Gehrig was always in the
wings. Gehrig even followed Ruth in
the batting order.
Gehrig won his only outright
home run title in 1934 and, with
Ruth’s departure from the squad a
year later, it looked as if he would
finally find his place in the sun.
Enter DiMaggio. Another
powerhouse to nil the gap created by
Ruth’s loss. Another powerhouse to
muscle ahead of Gehrig.
Gehrig hit his last World Series
home run in 1937 against the Giants,
and he felt he was losing his touch.
His 1938 statistics slipped to .295, 29
home runs and 114 RBI.
On that May 2, his reflexes were
slow, his coordination was gone and
he realized what he had to do. He
asked manager Joe McCarthy to take
him out of the game.
As captain of the team, Gehrig led
the group to the home plate at
Briggs Stadium in Detroit to call out
the lineup that he wasn’t on. The
crowd knew something was wrong
and as he walked back to the dugout,
he received a teriffic standing
ovation that brought tears to his
eyes.
After 2,130 consecutive games,
the Iron Horse was to watch from
the dugout.
Doctors diagnosed Gehrig’s
problem as amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis — an unusual disease that
attacks the central nervous system
and causes a hardening of the spinal
cord, leading to total incapicitation.
They gave him two years to live.
Baseball fans around the world
heard of his affliction, which was
later named “Gehrig’s disease” and
many decided to pay him the tribute
he deserved.
On July 4, 1939, Yankee Stadium
was packed with 61,808 fans as well
as both the 1927 and 1939 Yankee
teams for Lou Gehrig Appreciation
Day.
Gehrig delivered an emotional
speech that marked the end of his
great career. Ruth, who was never
really close to Gehrig, walked up to
his ailing teammate and hugged him
tightly.
Gehrig, trying to hold back
emotions as he spoke, lauded his
team, the fans and his favorite sport
of baseball and was thankful for the
many good years he had.
“Today, I consider myself the
luckiest man on the face of the
Earth,” Gehrig said.
That was the day he had finally
come out of the shadows of Ruth
and DiMaggio and the public finally
appreciated the hitter that had been
so quiet for so long.
