Cowboys cut Saxon with no proven replacement
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Since 1989
ie Dallas Cowboys haven't
lought any punters into training
amp to compete with incumbent
like Saxon.
This year, they released Saxon
hthout a proven National Foot-
idl League punter on the roster.
"Mike did a good job for us
irough the years,” head coach
mmy Johnson said in a statement.
We simply have decided to move
in a different direction with the
punting position on this team.”
Saxon, originally an llth-round
draft pick of the Detroit Lions in
1985, spent all eight of his NFL
seasons with the Cowboys. He has
a career average of 41.5 yards per
punt and 68 career punts downed
inside the 20 yard line.
Cowboys spokesman Rich Dal-
rymple said Johnson would give
no further details about Saxon's re
lease. Before being cut, Saxon had
the longest tenure of all punters in
the National Football Conference.
Saxon could not be reached for
comment Wednesday.
Since 1985, Saxon leads the
NFL in dropping punts inside the
20, with 166. The next closest
punter is John Kidd of the San
Diego Chargers, who has 153.
In 1986, Saxon set a club record
for punts in a season with 86.
Last season, Saxon averaged 43
yards per punt, the second-high
est average of his career. He had
19 kicks inside the 20 and nine
touchbacks.
Free agents Steve Domingos
and John Jett will compete for the
position when training camp
opens in Austin on July 15.
Domingos, 6-3, 200 pounds,
was cut by the Los Angeles Rams
in their training camp in 1992. He
played at San Francisco State and
spent the 1991 season with the
semipro Fresno Bandits.
Domingos had a 45.6 gross-
punt average with the Bandits.
Jett is a 6-0, 184-pounder from
East Carolina who was released
from the Minnesota Vikings'
training camp last year.

FORT WORTH — Ty Murray has become
the seventh Professional Rodeo Cowboys As
sociation competitor to pass $1 million in ca
reer earnings, reaching that milestone faster
than any of the other riders.
The 23-year-old Stephenville cowboy won
$12,435 in five rodeos over the July 4th week
end to reach the $1 million mark about twice
as fast as the previous six PRCA million-dollar
men.
Roy Cooper of Childress and Lewis Feild of
Elk Ridge, Utah, each took 11 years to win $1
million. Murray has taken 51/2 years.
Murray, who has four consecutive all-
around titles for his bareback riding, saddle
bronc riding and bull riding, pushed his ca
reer earnings to $1,004,523.
Oklahoman Tom Ferguson, a six-time
world all-around champion in the 1970s, was
the first cowboy to reach $1 million in 1986.
Three-time world champion bull rider Tuff
Hedeman of Bowie may become the eighth to
join the club. The 10-year pro has earned
$997,371.
Although Murray is the quickest PRCA
millionaire, the others started in the 1970s
when the sport paid less prize money.
When Ferguson won a record sixth all-
around title in 1979, the PRCA's 640 rodeos
paid $8,762,629 and the National Finals Rodeo
offered competitors $350,700.
When Murray won hfs first all-around in
1989, the PRCA's 774 rodeos paid $16,879,429
and the NFR paid $2,165,800.
Today, some competitors earn more money
at the National Finals Rodeo in 10 days than
they pocket the rest of the season.
Last year, Murray won $225,992, and sec
ond place all-around finisher Clay O'Brien
Cooper of Gilbert, Ariz., pocketed $103,738.
This season, Murray leads Tee Woolman of
Llano for the all-around, $106,712 to $56,208.
He also leads Hedeman for the bull-riding
buckle, $56,943 to $34,046.

four-game streak, 7-6

MILWAUKEE — Robin Yount singled home the go-ahead run in the
eighth inning Wednesday as the Milwaukee Brewers blew a three-run
lead, then beat Texas 7-6 to end the Rangers' four-game winning streak.

the career list.
Juan Bell singled with one out in the eighth off Craig Lefferts (1-7)
and stole second. Gary Redus, whose three-run pinch-homer in the
eighth tied the game at 6, made a running catch in right to rob Darryl
Hamilton, with Bell taking third.

2-3 innings and Yount, pinch hitting, singled to left on a 1-0 pitch.

scoreless ninth as Milwaukee won for just the fifth time in 18 games.
Redus hit the first pitch from Henry for a three-run homer in the top
of the eighth. Henry had replaced Jesse Orosco, who gave up a leadoff
double to Rafael Palmeiro and single to Juan Gonzalez.
Orosco started the eighth in place of Cal Eldred, who allowed six
hits, including Gonzalez's 22nd homer in a three-run third. Eldred
failed for the fourth straight start to get his 10th win.
Milwaukee, took a 4-3 lead with two runs in the fourth as B.J.
Surhoff singled and John Jaha hit an RBI double. Dave Nilsson reached
