Rangers announce Ryan’s return
Owner says pitcher makes
enormous difference in team
BEAUMONT (AP) —
Pitcher Nolan Ryan will be
signed and will be back with
the Texas Rangers next year,
team owner George W. Bush
said Tuesday.
“Nothing has changed in
our attitude,” Bush said at a
Beaumont news conference
while campaigning for Re
publican congressional candi
date Maury Meyers.
“Nolan Ryan makes an
enormous difference in the
Texas Rangers. He is a leg
end, and the way you build a
successful baseball franchise
is you’ve got to have some leg
ends,” he said. “You’ve got to
have grandfathers and
grandmothers pass on stories
to their grandkids. And that’s
what Nolan Ryan provides
for us. He’s huge.”
Speculation about Ryan’s
future came after baseball’s all-time
strikeout king said Monday the
Rangers, who hold a $3.3 million op
tion on his contract for 1991, haven’t
spoken to him since he indicated last
month he plans to return next year.
General Manager Tom Grieve, in
Milwaukee for the Final series of the
season, told The Dallas Morning
News that exercising the option was
“a mere formality.” He said he ex
pects the club to make it official be
fore the deadline of 15 days after the
season ends.
“Obviously, we want him back,”
Grieve said. “That’s no secret. In my
mind, it’s a foregone conclusion that
he’s coming back.”
Bush said he wasn’t troubled by
any perception of a delay in the team
signing Ryan.
“I know Tom Grieve at the end of
the season is going to make that
move,” he said. “There’s no reason
for us not to.”
Bush credited Ryan’s no-hitter
earlier this season — a record sixth
for Ryan — for turning around the
Rangers year.
“It energized the fan base,” he
said. “The no-hitter also coincided
with the team playing better base
ball.
“No question about it. Nolan is the
cornerstone of the fan excitement.”
Ryan, however, hasn’t been taking
any chances.
Ry an wants to keep the ball
used in his final career strike
out. So he
rranged to have 11 balls
thrown out of his last start last
Sunday.
Ryan said he arranged with
plate umpire Ted Hendry to
have the final ball from each
Ryan strikeout removed from
play.
“In case I don’t come back,
I wanted to make sure 1 had
the ball from Sunday. You
never know what’s going to
happen. I can’t predict the
future,” he said.
“The day I walked off the
mound in the Astrodome
with the Achilles’ problem (in
1989), I never thought that
would be the last time I wore
an Astros uniform,” Ryan
said. “But it was.”

Lady Ags host
Rice tonight
The Texas A&M volleyball
team will open Southwest Confer
ence play today at 7 p.m. against
Rice University at G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
The Lady Aggies (6-10) are
riding a three game winning
streak and a first place finish in
the Texas A&M Invitational last
weekend.
The Owls are 7*10 after losing
three straight matches.
A&M and Rice are the last two
teams to begin conference play.
The Lady Aggies own the series
edge over Rice, 21-3.
The two teams split their two
matches last year, with each team
winning on its home court.
The first 500 fans receive a
Lady Aggie poster, sponsored by
local radio station Aggie 96.
Brewers’ Brown hops over Texas
1-0 in first major league victor)
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A blister
wouldn’t let Milwaukee left-hander
Kevin Brown finish what he started
Tuesday night, so he had to settle
for his first major league victory with
help from the Brewers’ bullpen.
Brown pitched a one-hitter over
seven innings — allowing only an in
field single — and Chuck Grim and
Dan Plesac preserved the Brewers’
1-0 victory over the Texas Rangers.
“It was bad enough to come out. I
hadn’t had any problems with a blis
ter in a month, but I hadn’t pitched
regularly in a month. I’ve tried ev
erything — mashing the blister in
rice, crazy glue,” said Brown, who
came to Milwaukee in a Sept. 7 trade
from the New York Mets. “I wanted
to stay in regardless of the blister.
But it was burning.”
Brown (1-1) has made an impres
sion for next season when he hopes
to win a spot in the rotation.
“I wanted to go out and have a
good start,” he said. “I wasn’t antic
ipating a one-hitter. I was fortunate
enough they hit it at somebody. I’m
not going to speculate (about next
year). We’ll see what happens in
spring training. I’m going to pitch
winter ball. I like my chances.”
In just his third major league
start, Brown allowed only a fourth
inning infield single to Rubei
Sierra. The 24-year-old left-handa
walked Julio Franco in thesixthij i, c
ning and struck out three. Crimgai
up two hits in the eighth and Plea
pitched a perfect ninth for his 2fi
save.
“He (Brown) mentioned thebb
ter alter the seventh, but said
could go on,” Milwaukee manaja
Tom Trebelhorn said. “1
that would be kind of silly. He't
made 94 pitches and I’m not
to send him out there if he’slesstk
100 percent.”
Milwaukee got its run in the thin

George Canale walked, was sacr

Astros painted Red by
Cincinnati pitching staff
CINCINNATI (AP) — Jack Arm
strong pitched two perfect innings
Tuesday night in his first start since
Aug. 24, and Paul O’Neill singled
home a pair of runs as the Cincinnati
Reds exercised their pitching staff in
a 3-2 victory over Houston.
Four Reds pitchers retired the
first 16 batters in order before Luis
Gonzalez doubled off Rick Mahler
with one out in the sixth. The Astros
managed four hits, all off Mahler,
against six Cincinnati pitchers.
Glenn Davis’ two-run single in the
seventh scored both Houston runs.
Randy Myers pitched the ninth
for his 31st save.
The victory was No. 91 for the the
National League West champions,
who open the playoffs Thursday
against Pittsburgh at Riverfront Sta
dium. The 91 wins are the most
since 1978, when Cincinnati had 92.
Armstrong struck out two in his
first start since being disabled by a
sore elbow. He had made two short
relief appearances since coming off
the disabled list on Sept. 9. Arm
strong is 1-6 as a starter since the All-
Star game.
Miami faces Florida State
with major role reversal
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) —
Florida State’s opponent Satur-
:al Mu
day is a typical Miami team in
many respects — fast, aggressive,
skilled at throwing the ball,
ranked in the Top Ten.
But there is one important dif
ference. This Miami team has lost
a game.
“You know, it’s usually us with
a loss facing them,” Florida State
coach Bobby Bowden said Tues
day. “This is the first time i can
remember facing them where
they’ve lost a game in a long,long
time.”
Miami (2-1) was tlie preseason
No. 1 team but dropped its
opener 28-21 at Brigham Young.
After victories over California
and Iowa, the Hurricanes are
ranked ninth.

terback in the nation, threw three in
terceptions against the Tigers. Slo
cum said the senior can be outstand
ing when he plays within his abilities.
It’s when Pavlas tries to win the
game by himself that he runs into
trouble, Slocum said.
“Lance does well until he gets in
that situation where he feels like he
personally has to win the ballgame
and tries to make plays that really
aren’t there,” Slocum said. “Lance
did not have a good game. He made
some poor decisions.”
Pavlas completed 59 percent of
his passes last year — second best in
school history. But of the 227 passes
he attempted in 1989, the throw
most people remember is the one
he’d most like to take back: the
fourth quarter interception to An
thony Cooney in Arkansas’ 23-22
win at Kyle Field.
“The only times he got in trouble
last year was when he tried to make
those plays that most people can’t
make,” Slocum said. “You just don’t
try to make the impossible plays.
Don’t feel that burden. Let’s punt
the ball and play defense. When
you’ve got guys open, then throw the
ball there.
“Lance has done a great job of
doing that so far this year, and he
did it last year. I’ve got confidence in
his ability to do it. I just don’t want
him to assume too much of the
load.”
It’s that load that Slocum hopes
Pavlas will lessen this weekend
against Texas Tech.
“I’d say almost any quarterback
would certainly have it in the back of
his mind if he threw three intercep
tions,” Slocum said. “He’s probably
anxious to come back and get that
experience behind him. All good
players do that. Hopefully he’ll learn
from that situation.”
three missed field goals by place-
kicker Lin Elliott proved the differ
ence in a 21 -15 loss to Baylor.
Other than a tough match against
the Red Raiders, A&M’s march to
the conference championship must
travel through Houston, Arkansas
and Texas for its three toughest
games. Plus, the conference’s weak
lings have proven that they’re not as
weak as they used to be.
The SWC looks like it’s a more ba-
lenced conference this year where
any team could beat any other on
any given weekend.
There’s not a single team that
A&M can afford to look past and as
sume there will be an easy victory,
and head coach R.C. Slocum’s aware
of that fact.
“Over the years you could always
circle two or three teams as wins,”
Slocum said. “You start looking
around this year and everybody’s
looking pretty good.
“It’s much harder to look at some
body and say we’re not going to have
any trouble with these people.”
Texas Christian, Rice and Baylor,
all of whom will make trips to M
Field this year have shown flasht
brilliance against some strong con
petition.
The Horned Frogs have coa
from behind for all of their victont
including against the Big Eig:
Missouri and Oklahoma State.Rs
came within ten seconds of beau
13th-ranked Houston, while Bail
played to within a couple of plan
beati
eating eighth-ranked Nebraska
Even Southern Metho
whipped Vanderbilt 44-7 and
Commodores heat LSU two wed
later.
The race starts now and efti
game is just as important as thenfl
Whether it be Texas or Rice,all-
conference games will be to
fought wars.
The Aggies are still favored :
come out on Dec. 1 as the SW
representative at the 55th Cow
Bowl, but don’t be too surprised
the eventual champion goes tot
year’s Classic with one or even!'
conference losses.
