The owners begin meeting on Tuesday, according to league spokesman Greg Aiello. Baltimore, Jacksonville and Memphis are the other cities in contention. The league's first expansion since 1976 will give the NFL 30 teams when the new clubs begin play in 1995. On Tuesday morning, the league's combined expansion and finance committees are scheduled to recommend its choices. Then the 28 owners will vote, with a city needing 21 votes to be ap proved. “I'm not sure we'll be able to get anything done quickly unless we amend the rules for the vote/' said Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell. He suggested a procedure similar to that used in voting on Super Bowl sites, where the city getting the fewest votes on each ballot is eliminated. One ranking league official not ed that expansion franchises, for which the groups will pay the league $140 million, are far more important long-term ventures than Super Bowl sites. Last time the NFL expanded, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Sea- hawks' franchises paid $16 mil lion each. The St. Louis group on Mon day ended its search for a lead in vestor when shopping mall mag nate Stan Kroenke took control of the partnership. St. Louis and Charlotte ap peared to be the front-runners, with Baltimore third if St. Louis is rejected. Most owners seem in clined to give franchises to St. Louis which lost the Cardinals to Phoenix in 1988 and Baltimore which lost the Colts to Indianapo lis in 1984. St. Louis also has a $258 million domed stadium under construc tion and is the largest television market in the nation without an NFL franchise. Charlotte would represent a new NFL market, the Atlantic south. It would fill a gap between Washington and Atlanta, geo graphically in an area considered football territory where the NBA has had success with an expan sion franchise. In Charlotte, the team will play at a stadium where permanent seat licenses have been sold from $600 to $5,500, a new concept in sports. Until its new stadium is ready, it will play at Clemson in South Carolina. The prospective owner is for mer Indiana Colts wide receiver Jerry Richardson and the prospec tive general manager is Mike Mc Cormack who used to run the Seattle Seahawks. Doubts were initially raised concerning Richardson since his food service company owns the Denny's restaurant that charged with racism lastsumr But that was defused whentjRj Charlotte group signed afiH Share agreement with t!|| NAACP.

Tuesda) £ Oilers' Marshall has solution, but can't hel| The Associated Press HOUSTON — Linebacker Wilber Marshall is the player Buddy Ryan said would get Houston to the Su per Bowl this season but it's difficult to help out from the inactive list. Marshall has watched in frustration the past two weeks while the Oilers ended a three-game losing streak with two straight victories, including Sunday's 28-12 triumph over the Cincinnati Bengals (0-7). Marshall signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Oilers in the off season but he has played in only three games trying to recover from knee surgery and ap ankle injury. “I can do just al^out everything, 1 don't have a problem running," Marshall said Monday. "They just figured they could win this game without roebeii out there. 1 nis week and next will give me timetol even stronger." The Oilers almost didn't win Sunday's game.TkH trailed 12-7 in the third quarter when Ray Child'S -. recovered a fumble at the Oilers' one-yard fme^irD ( j J the Oilers drove to the go-ahead touchdown. | Now they get a bye week to prepare for anofr:| home game against Seattle.

Clay continued from Page 5 and drinking coffee instead of jog ging and sipping Evian. After a game they would play cards, lis ten to loud music and drink beer rather than workout on a stair- climber or eat their vegetables. As for athletic flare, they never quite played tire game with stun ning grace or ran with the ease of gazelles. "They look wild...They look like truck drivers," says Toronto hurler Juan Guzman of the boys from Philly. What the Phillies did was play the game hard and well. They beat down their opponents with relentless energy. There is a common misconcep tion that an athlete and a ballplay er are one in the same. This is not Physical ability is only part of what constitutes a successful ballplayer. An athlete might be come a great performer, but it takes something more than skill to be true ballplayer. "You can teach a player to do some tilings in this game, and you can always do something if the the guy's an athlete," Bobby Cox, manager of the Atlanta Braves, said, nut you can't put fire in his belly. It's either in there or not." The Phillies had that fire. They leapt full tilt into the wall or dove head long into the turf to grab the ball. Their love of the game set them apart from the rest. That's not to say all other play ers have failed to attain that unique level of baseball nirvana. The Blue Jays and many other teams in the Majors had "gamers," or people who strive to play the game. But Philadelphia was loaded with them. These were guys that didn't fit into the scheme of things at an other club or, perhaps, were miss ing a vital skill that kept them from being a fully developed player. But what they all had in common was heart - the desire to go all-out every play of the game. Today's baseball player has be come, for the most part, a busi ness man. He avoids anything that may jeopardize his substan tial money flow, even if it takes away from the excitement of the game. Therefore, it is bad busi ness. Where's the old heart and the love for the game? The Phillies loved what they were doing. They knew how to play the game and play it well. Guys like John Kruk, Lenny Dyk- stra, Darren Daulton, Mariano Duncan, and Pete Incaviglia were gamers. When they weren't play ing the game, they were "talking baseball 99 percent of the time, Daulton, Philadelphia's catcher, says. It may be true that these guys were uncouth, rowdy, unshaven hooligans. They sure as heck weren't positive role models for young baseball players. But the average Joe could identify with these guys. It's the difference between re ality and dreams. It is great to dream of being able to run like lightning or leap to great heights. But the priority of life in reality is to enjoy what you're doing and do it to the best of your ability. The Phillies got the job done and that's what counts. It's been a pleasure watching those guys play and, even though the Blue Jays won tlie Series, the Phillies are winners in their own right. Perhaps they did set the league back a few decades. Maybe that's exactly what baseball needed. It sure didn't hurt.
