NL president threatens to resign
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — National League presi
dent Bill White threatened to resign if Commissioner
Fay Vincent doesn’t give him full support in his dispute
with the league’s umpires, according to a published re
port.
“I want the commissioner to get the facts, and then I
want a statement from the commissioner. This is a time
to take a stand, to find out who’s right and wrong, who’s
telling the truth and who’s lying,” White said in Sun
day’s edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
If he doesn’t receive the full support of baseball’s
highest officer, White said, “It’s goodbye. I’m going
home.”
He also challenged Richie Phillips, the head of the
umpire’s union, over their contradicting accounts of a
meeting last week with umpire Joe West.
“If Richie is right and I’m lying, I should resign as
president of the National League,” White said. “If I’m
right and he’s lying, Richie should resign.
“If I have lied I shouldn’t be allowed to hold this of
fice. If he has lied, (then) in my role as president of the
National League, I can’t deal with him. Our jobs should
be on the line.
“I’m willing to put my word up against his in any way
they want to do it — go before the NLRB (National La
bor Relations Board), take lie detector tests, anything.”
Vincent, who met with White on Friday, did not want
to say much about the matter.
“I’m trying to be helpful,” he said Sunday. “It’s com
plicated and unfortunate.”
White, in his second year as league president, met
last week with West and Phillips. Afterward, West and
White gave contradicting accounts of what was said.
Phillips accused White of “an unprecedented lack of
support for umpires” and asked Vincent to step in to
resolve the matter.
The meeting focused on an Aug. 22 incident in
which West ejected Phillies outfielder Von Hayes for
criticizing another umpire during a game against the
Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Phillies also claimed that West has been too
rough with players. For example, during a bench-clear
ing brawl in a game against the Mets in New York, West
threw Phillies pitcher Dennis Cook to the ground.
White didn’t comment on the meeting after it ended,
but West said White told him he handled the Hayes sit
uation correctly. He also said White was considering
telling umpires to stop trying to break up fights.
Fangio captures IMSA victory on
92nd lap of San Antonio Grand Prix
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Juan
Manuel Fangio III took the lead on
92nd of 98 laps to capture the Inter
national Motor Sports Association
Grand Prix of San Antonio Sunday.
Fangio passed defending cham
pion Chip Robinson on an S-curve
of the 1.67-mile course that
streatched around the Tower of the
Americas and raced to his third vic
tory of his career — all of which oc
curred this year.
“It is nicer to win coming from the
back,” Fangio said. “It was more ex
citing and it makes you work a little
harder.
“For two hours it was hard to stay
out of trouble,” he said. “Once I took
the lead, I couldn’t slow down with
this guy (Robinson) behind me.”
Fangio averaged 81.629 mph dur
ing the race and topped Robinson by
18.322 seconds.
The two-hour race saw seven lead
changes including two between
Fangio and Robinson in the closing
minutes.
Fangio, who started in the No. 11
spot, zipped past Robinson on lap 88
but later relinquished the lead to
Robinson on the next lap.
Robinson, who started in the No.
9 position, went out in front on the
87th lap after leader James Weaver
>ed the wall and spun around on
the front straight-away.
After Fangio took the lead for
good, Robinson attempted to stay
with him but lost control and spun.
“After he got by me I was sliding
around,” Robinson said. “My elbows
were flailing as I went into the cor
ner, and I came up with third gear
instead of first.”
Weaver had taken the lead from
pole sitter Geoff Brabham five laps
earlier with 15 minutes left.
Brabham, who was hoping to end
a string of bad luck that forced him
out of this race the last two years,
finished third.
Gallagher wins
Open in playoff
with 8-foot putt
FRANKLIN, Wis. (AP) — Jim
Gallagher rolled in an 8-footer
for par on the first playoff hole
Sunday and won the Greater Mil
waukee Open when Ed Doug
herty and Billy Mayfair missed
putts to tie.
Gallagher, getting his first tour
victory, teed off first in the play
off on the par-3 17th hole and
was the only one of the trio to
reach the green. He then 2-
putted for par and what turned
out to be a $162,000 first-place
prize.
Dougherty hit his tee shot in
the bunker, chipped it out and
missed his putt fr4om about 8
feet. Mayfair, who had a 1-shot
lead before a bogey on the final
final hole of regulation, hit his tee
shoot past the green, chipped
back past the hole and then
missed an 8-footer.
The trio, each seeking to win
for the first time, finished tied at
17-under 271 to force the fourth
playoff in GMO history. Mayfair
haa a final-round 68 and Gal
lagher and Dougherty 66s.
Ray Stewart, the leader
through the first three rounds,
missed the playoff when, like
Mayfair, he bogeyed the final
hole. He finished at 16-under
along with Scott Hoch and Steve
Lowery. Mayfair, the 1987 U.S.
Amateur champion, birdied No.
16, a par-5, to gain a share of the
lead. Then he nit his tee shot on
the par-3, 220-yard No. 17 to
within a foot of the cup, tapped it
in and took the lead with Gallager
and Dougherty watching from
the clubhouse.

match if I’d lost the point. People were into it.”
f somt. reopl
fa hole for nine straight
games from the end of the third set on when he
lost the first point on his service each time. He
got out of trouble most of the time, but his breaks
in the second and final games of the fourth set
turned the match around.
McEnroe battled through four deuces in the
ninth game of the fourth set to hold on an over
head. The crowd stood and screamed and ap
plauded him as if he had just won the match, and
for all it mattered he had.
Sanchez lost the first point of his next service
on a backhand volley that McEnroe sprinted to
near the net, and lost the game at third with a
backhand long after an exhausting rally in which
he chased McEnroe’s shots all over the court.
Sanchez shook his head in disbelief and a little
anger at the final shot, complaining to the um
pire that McEnroe had prematurely yelled
“yeah” when he thought one of his drop shots
was the set winner. Sanchez barely retrieved that
ball and kept the rally going for two more shots
before losing. The umpire denied Sanchez’s as
sertion that McEnroe had interfered with his
shout.
McEnroe now had the momentum and he re
fused to yield it. In the sixth game, McEnroe
broke the final and most crucial time, pumping
his fist after a short thrust of a killer backhand
volley made it 15-40 and again when Sanchez hit
a backhand in the net.
McEnroe put the match away, giving up only a
point in the final game, as Sanchez popped up a
return out of bounds on the last point.
The crowd stood and cheered wildly as McEn
roe raised both hands in the air, and his wife Ta
tum O’Neal jumped to her feet in her box at
courtside.
“It’s nice to be part of a match like that,”
McEnroe said. “It’s satisfying to take it farther
and get to play a bigger match.”
Sanchez said that McEnroe was “really eager,
motivated, mentally better than me” in the final
set. “He doesn’t want to disappoint the people
because he’s a champion. I suppose I should be
in better shape in the fifth set, but it wasn’t hot'
and I didn’t expect him to be tired.”
McEnroe’s next opponent will be David Whei
ton, who beat Kevin Curren 7-5, 7-6 (7-1), 4-6,6-
4.
“Winning this would be the icing on the caki
— to go out on a high,” said McEnroe, who does
not have immediate plans to quit but sees his ca
reer winding down. “There’s less time to appre
ciate. I won’t be playing that much longer.” j
Ivan Lendl, zeroing in on a record nintli
straight trip to the U.S. Open final, also reached
the quarters with his strongest performance in
the tournament so far.
Aggies.

pass to Ware in the back of the end
zone.
However, Ware spiked the ball
and the Aggies were penalized 15
yards for unsportsmanlike conduct
on the ensuing kickoff.
On the Rainbows’ next possession,
Gabriel threw an incomplete pass
and on the second down, he tripped
over his own feet for a 3-yard loss.
But Gabriel came back on the next
play, averting a sack by Jones and
connecting with Dane McArthur for
a 71-yard TD pass.
The Aggies went on to dominate
the last four minutes of the half.
Linebacker William Thomas, an All-
American candidate and pre-season
choice for SWC Defensive Player of
the Year, ran in to sack Gabriel for a
loss of six.
Hawaii followed with two incom
plete passes, and it was forced to
punt.
With :26 remaining, Wilson
scrambled right for another one-
yard touchdown, and the Aggies
went into the locker room with a 28-
10 lead.
The A&M offensive line entered
the second half lax, allowing the
Rainbows through for two sacks for
a combined 22-yard loss.
Hawaii was back on the board
with a 37-yard field goal after seven
plays.
Slocum said he was pleased with
the team’s performance, but that
they need to work on avoiding pe
nalties.
“We had some problems with pe
nalties,” Slocum said. “It started
some of their offensive perfor
mances. We kind of self-destructed
in the second half. Everytime we
made a big play, we’d get it called
back.”
A&M defensive back Kevin Smith
made the first of two interceptions
from Gabriel, but the Aggies
couldn’t capitalize.
The third quarter opened with a
Hawaii possession, but on the fifth
play Gabriel pitched right to McAr
thur who fumbled, enabling
Thomas to recover for A&M.
Wagner said Hawaii lost the game
because of interceptions and fum
bles.
“A&M is an excellent football
team and they won the turnover bat
tle,” he said. “We had a punt blocked
and we had two turnovers and they
didn’t have any.”
A&M quarterback Bucky Richard
son saw some playing time in the
fourth quarter, rushing for eight
yards, which was called back on a
holding penalty, and passing for 10
more.
“To win an opening ballgame is
what we came over here for,” Slo
cum said. “It was a hard-fought con
test and a long trip.”
Wagner was disappointed with his
team and at the end of the game, he
was “not happy with much of any
thing.”
Rasmussen.
cover the game ... or even if I had
the chance to watch the game.
As a suntanned Crozier was doing
his voice exercises in preparation of
the game, I was scurrying around
the Battalion newsroom in a frenzy,
trying to find a key that would give
me access to the hreakroom and a
t.v. with ESPN.
How apropos.
Crozier was most likely in an air-
conditioned suite, sipping tropical
drinks with those little umbrellas
poking out. I was rooting through
desks, in a sultry office looking for a
key to a tiny room with an antiquated
television so I could watch the game.
The key was nowhere to be f ound.
So I did the next best thing — I tried
to break into the hreakroom. It’s a
good thing I don’t make my living as
a thief.
As kickoff approached, Crozier
must have been dabbing beads of
perspiration away from his forehead
that the tropical heat of the Ha
waiian morning had produced.
I wiped away a torrent of sweat
brought about by the stress of miss
ing A&M’s opening game.
Being innovative and resourceful,
I did the next best thing. I tried to
pick the game up on the radio.
About this time, the clouds gathered
and the lightening lit the sky. And,
needless to say, killed the radio re
ception.
Continued from page 9
I resigned myself to the fate thall
was dealt me. I’ll just watch the ra
play of Saturday’s game tonight oni
KAMU-TV. Someone, somewherel
decided I was not to enjoy the A&MJ
game. I sighed and decided I’d gotol
the mall and kill some time and get!
the game off my mind.
Driving, I could only think of how
Frank DeFord, a nationally renound
sports god, would go about getting
the score if faced with the same
obstacles I encountered.
First off, DeFord would have got
ten Crozier’s place on the plane, but
for the sake of argument, let’s say he
didn’t. DeFord probably would have
owned a television equipped will
ESPN, but again, let’s say he didn’t.
1 guess what I’m trying to say if
that I’m no Frank DeFord.
I learned about the outcome of
the A&M-Hawaii game from a well-
known shoe store in the mall. As I
walked in to find some size lO'/i
Nikes, there plastered above the
cashier in bright lights was the score
— Aggies 28, Hawaii 13.
Crozier is probably somewhere
laughing; DeFord would be hanging
his head in shame. Me, I’m standing
in front of the G. Rollie White Ath
letic Ticket Office buying tickets to
the Southwestern Louisiana game.
Next Monday night I’ll be watch
ing Monday Night Football, not a re
played Aggie game.
