SHOW AND SALE Breaking the color barrier Augusta admits first black member into golf club .0 WASHINGTON (AP) — Ron Townsend, president of Gannett Television Group, has become the first black accepted for membership in the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club, a company-owned station reported on Tuesday. The club, site of the annual Mas ters golf tournament, accepted a black member in this summer of ra cial discontent in the golf world. But it refused to identify him. WUSA, the Gannett station in Washington, reported that Towns end had been accepted. An an nouncement from Gannett said Townsend has direct responsibility for six of the company’s television stations. Townsend was not immediately available for comment. The Augusta Chronicle earlier had quoted an unidentified Augusta member as saying the new member was from Texas. The world of pro golf was thrown into turmoil earlier this summer over the exclusionary membership policies of Shoal Creek Country Club, the site of last month’s PGA Championship. Commercial spon sors threatened to withdraw their support from televising the tourna ment. The club admitted a black mem ber following the controversy. Shoal Creek founder Hall Thompson said Monday that his club may never host another major tournament because of the contro- oddity.” | DALLAS In the wake of the Shoal C[ f0 |ie of the b controversy, officials at CBS.wl He took televises the Masters, talked with.; j| e thodist. gusta National officials regar: ^ him. the membership issue.

Civil rights leaders in Georgia had announced plans to protest next spring’s Masters if Augusta Na tional, all-white since its founding by golfing legend Bobby Jones in 1932, was not integrated. The New York Times reported that Augusta National’s new black member joined on Friday. As late as Monday night, officials of the clois tered club refused to confirm or deny the story.

Johnson also announced that he was moving Darryl Johnston from fullback to halfback as the Cowboys prepare for Sunday’s meeting with the New York Giants in Texas Sta dium. “We’ve seen enough of Emmitt to know he has a grasp of the offense,” Johnson said. “He was with us in quarterback school and all of our mini-camps. It was inevitable that he would start. ” NEW YORK (AP) — The Loui siana Superdome’s general manager said Tuesday the stadium would bid to become the first indoor site ever for soccer’s World Cup. Bob Johnson said the 70,000-seat stadium, host to four Super Bowls and two NCAA Final Fours, proba bly would bid for either the final, the opening game or a semifinal in addi tion to first-round matches. The tournament, the first to be played in the United States, will be held in between eight and 12 cities in June and July 1994. Cities will be se lected next year by FIFA, soccer’s world governing body. “At this point our intentions are to bid,” Johnson said Tuesday before meeting with officials of the New cuss the the group’s proposal, said the problem of installing grJ over the artificial turf could beovtf come. “They’ve done indoor foothi with natural grass,” he said, that’s one night.

Both teams haveheldtk top spot and the Bucs are presentif in the driver’s seat. Pittsburgh may not have the offensive punch like the A’s, but they come pretty close with power like Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonil in the lineup. Even with the Pirate surgeoflalt the experience of the Mets makes them a threat to their playoff hopes The two teams close out the season with a three-game series that could very well decide who will play the Cincinnati Reds in the playoffs. Leading the division since day one, the Reds show no signs of letting the Los Angeles Dodgersot t he San Francisco Giants, last year’s National League champs, catchup Cincinnati plays 17 of its last 23 games at home, including a series with the Dodgers and Giants. The) also have the benefit of playingtwo series against the hapless Houston Astros and one with the cellar dwelling Atlanta Braves. Aside from the heat of the division races, there are other interesting stories in progress. In the National League, the big story is whether or not Philadelpfe outfielder Len Dykstra will heal hold on to his slim lead for the batting title. As of Tuesday, DyksW held a two-thousandth point lead over McGee, who could win thetitlt and make preparations for the American League division playoffi Should Dykstra hold on for the title, he would be the top Most Valueable Player candidate. However, there is no other clear-o 1 leader for the award should he falter. In the American League, the top story of late is the father-son duoin Seattle with Ken Griffey Sr. and Griffey Jr. The elder Griffey, who retired from the Reds in August, was nafflt the League’s Player of the Week I went 12-for-19 for a .632 average with seven RBI’s. He also threw on' Kansas City’s Bo Jackson trying to stretch a single into a double. With all the bone-crushing goin) on as football gets underway, doni forget there’s still plenty of good nail-biting going as the pennant races heat up.
