HONOLULU (AP) — Lanny Wadkins and Tom Kite hope to resume
: eirlongtime rivalry at the Hawaiian Open.
Two weeks ago, the 4 1-year-olds went shot-for-shot in the final round
‘the Tournament of Champions, with Kite holding off Wadkins by one
jot to win the PGA Tour’s first event of the season.
"It probably won’t happen, but I think it would be great if we could
,)ih get there again,” Kite said Wednesday before a practice round.
Kite and Wadkins passed on last week’s Northern Telecom Open,
on by amateur Phil Mickelson.
Wadkins said he and Kite are playing well and the two could wind up
Miting it out for another title on Sunday.
"It could happen again,” Wadkins said. “I’d just like the outcome to be
jnle different.”
Kite, meanwhile, still has a lot of goals to reach this season.
“1 know there are things I still want to do,” he said. “Winning the T of
was a great start for me. But that’s all it was: a start.
“If I’m to have the kind of year I want to have and expect to have, I
laveto keep pushing. I think Lanny and I are a lot alike in that respect. I
iink we’re both still excited about playing, both eager to play.”
Wadkins, for example, has 19 career wins and “I know he wants to get
jat20th,” Kite said.
Wadkins agreed.
"I’m looking forward to a good season, maybe a very good season,” he
iaid. “There’s no reason it couldn’t happen. I played well in the first tour-
ament and in my schedule coming up, I’ve either won or played well in
iiery tournament I’m playing from now until the Masters.”
The 144-player field, shooting for the $198,000 first prize, include
no time Hawaiian Open winners Corey Pavin and Hubert Green, Curtis
grange, Mark Calcavecchia, U.S. Open champ Hale Irwin, Jodie Mudd,
Jen Crenshaw, Paul Azinger and Tom Watson.
David Ishii, a native of Hawaii who plays most of his golf in Japan, is
^defending champion.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — After
our years of losing money, organiz
ers of the Grand Prix of San Antonio
anceled the car race that attracted
Jiousands to downtown on Labor
Day weekends.
The Alamo Grand Prix Associa-
lion said it was suspending opera-
ions. The 1991 race is off, and fu-
wre races don’t appear likely,
officials said.
“This organization cannot present
it," John Mosty, association exec
utive vice president and chief oper
ating officer, said Tuesday. “If
someone else wants to assume the re
sponsibility, we will let them.”
The Labor Day weekend event,
sanctioned by the International Mo
tor Sports Association, has been held
on the streets of downtown since
1987.
The 1990 race, plagued by rain,
lost $600,000, said AGFA president
Curtis Gunn Jr. The race has aver
aged a loss of $300,000 since its first
year, and the association has lost an
estimated $2 million overall.

I say let Pete Rose into the Hall of
: ame.
He played on teams with some of
ie most familiar names in history,
;ind stood above them all. He
irought revenues to the game like
inly a few other superstars of the
jame have.
He's “Charlie Hustle,” for good-
less sakes!
Give Rose his due because he is a
jieat player and leave the personal
eelings and judgements to the gen
ial public or even a higher being.
But the hypocrite heirarchy has
poken. Who are we to dispute the
(ecision?
We’re the fans and it’s our game,

Near Kroger and Shipley’s
parks and recreation department,
said the association owes the city
more than $208,000 for services
connected with the 1989 and 1990
Darner said efforts will be made
to collect that money, owed for such
things as police security, street clo
sures and use of city parking garages
and the convention center.
Since its inception, the Grand
Prix’s main sponsor has been Nissan
Motor Corp., which provided
$200,000 for the 1990 race. The
company was offering slightly more
than that for 1991.
