Page 4 SPORTS Monday June 20, 1994 Bagwell, Caminiti blast Padres; Oakland rallies past Rangers Simpson Continued from Page 3 Angeles expressway. That seems to be the biggest news of the whole story. I feel sorry for O.J Simpson. Watching that Bronco Friday night, hearing part of his suicide note being read over television-it is so hard to believe something like this could happen to some body so talented and popular. I, unfortunately, caught myself say ing “go O.J. go” as many others were. Instead of surreal, how about tragic? It is a tragedy that two inno cent people were brutally mur dered. The children of one of the victims were sleeping upstairs. It is a tragedy that the media is going to be intensely covering whether or not O.J. Simpson mutters suicidal thoughts in his jail cell for the next few weeks. It is a tragedy whenever any one considers suicide. It is a tragedy that O.J. Simp son will probably never get a fair trial. Are there 12 people in the world who did not watch that Bronco Friday night? It is a tragedy that the families of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldham will never be able to see, talk to or hug them again. Actually, I can see why they are calling it surreal. It does seem like fiction. But it is not fic tion, it is real life. That is why it is not surreal. It is tragic. Instead of saying,”go O.J. go,” pray, if that is what you do. I am going to. Guards Continued from Page 3 guard Kenny Smith said. “If we don’t get it, we’re surprised.” He also played the final six minutes with five fouls and con vinced Tomjanovich to leave him in despite the risk he could foul out down the stretch. “I just made him feel comfort able,” Olajuwon said of his con versation with Tomjanovich. “I can play with five fouls. I’ll be less aggressive but just as effec tive.” “That’s a coaching decision,” Tomjanovich said. “We’ve talked about it before when he wants to stay in the game. I’ve told him: ‘You’ve got to control yourself.’ He wanted to go on. I could tell by looking in his eyes.” Riley said he did not consider going after Olajuwon in hopes of getting the sixth foul. “He’s not going to pick up a foul,” Riley said. “He’s smart enough to know. Great players are going to stay on the floor. He’d probably give up a hoop in exchange.” Olajuwon was a perfect 8-for- 8 from the free throw line, in cluding the Rockets’ final two points with 39 seconds left after he was fouled by Patrick Ewing following a steal of pass by Starks. “You know every night he’s going to come out and play,” Rockets forward Carl Herrera said. “His role is so tough but he makes us much stronger. It’s not surprising now, really, the things he does.” Houston 6, San Diego 1 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ken Caminiti drove in three runs and Jeff Bagwell went 3-for-3 with two RBIs Saturday night as the Houston Astros defeated the San Diego Padres 6-1. San Diego’s Bip Roberts ex tended his hitting streak to 21 games, the NL high this season. Shane Reynolds (4-3) allowed one run and five hits in seven in nings. He struck out five and walked two. Mike Campbell (0-1), making his first major-league start since 1989 with Seattle, allowed five runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 in nings. Oakland 11, Texas 10 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Terry Steinbach’s three-m homer capped a five-run ninth-in ning rally Saturday night as the Oakland Athletics held on for an 11-10 victory over the Texas Rangers. Pinch-hitter Mike Aldrete sin gled to open the ninth and Rickey Henderson hit a single off Cris Carpenter (2-3). Geronimo Berroa followed with his fourth hit, a single to right, and Aldrete scored when right fielder Rusty Greer threw to second. Ruben Sierra’s single brought in the tying run to chase Carpen ter.

Business Hours 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday accepted Fans Continued from Page 3 talent for commentary, voicing their opinion, and arguing. At one point during the game the Rockets were down by 13 points. Chris Cole, a se nior at A&M, thought he knew what the Rockets were doing wrong. “The Rockets cannot re bound,” he said. “They haven’t rebounded the whole series.” The crowds’ hatred for the Knicks seem to run as deep as their support for the Rockets. Cole frequently offered his un favorable opinion of the Knicks, as did several people throughout the night. “The Knicks are boxers who play basketball,” he said. The crowd at Carney’s dis agreed with many calls by the referees. As the game moved into the second and third quar ters, several fans thought Ola juwon was getting fouled much more often than the Knicks were getting called for. “How can that not be a foul?” Kennedy demanded. In the end, the Knicks pre vailed 91-84 to take a three- games-to-two lead in the series. Even though their team did not win, no one at Carney’s Pub was ready to concede. Their faith in the Rockets seemed to be unchanged. "We just have to come buck and win both games in Hous ton,” Kennedy said. “Rockets in seven.” * ’tl Wimbledon 1994 For Rent I For Rent * Large 3 Bedroom/2 Bath * On Shuttle Bus Route * Close To A & M Consolidated * Quiet Wooded Setting * Adjacent to Parks * Beginning at $850/Mo.

Agassi’s brother, Phil, then put his arm up and warned writers to stay away. “I’m not talking today, maybe later,” Jim Courier, last year’s fi nalist, said as he blew off writers in the same brusque manner. In no other sport do athletes have as much disdain for re porters, and the readers and fans they serve, as in tennis. That’s particularly true of many of the marquee players in men’s tennis. “That’s one of the problems we’ve been talking to the ATP about, but nothing’s getting through to the players,” Tom Gullikson, a USTA coach and former player, said. “They’re hurting the game and they’re hurting themselves.” Most of the women players, realizing the need to attract more attention to their sport, are more accommodating. But the by marquee players top player, Steffi Graf, staunchly refused to comment on anything going into Wimbledon. Tennis wasn’t even talked about much among the players at practice Sunday. Amid all the beauty and serenity of Wimble don, the exquisite lawns shim mering in brilliant sunshine, the hot topics were all about vio lence: the O.J. Simpson case; the shooting of World Cup viewers in a pub in Northern Ireland; the abuse of Mary Pierce by her fa ther. Pierce, finalist at the French Open after beating Steffi Graf, dropped out of Wimbledon, blam ing “reasons far beyond my con trol.” She said her withdrawal “would serve the best interests” of Wimbledon. Jim Pierce reportedly planned to try to get into Wimbledon, vio lating a WTA ban on him attend ing tournaments. The ban was imposed because of his verbal abuse of his daughter and her opponents. “I assume that means her fa ther,” said Gullikson, who coach es some of the American women. “Mary’s not a grasscourt player, mpairs tennis' image and it would have been interest ing to see her play here. You’ve got to play on the stuff to be good at it.” Wimbledon referee Alan Mills confirmed Pierce’s pullout was because of the “irrational behav ior” of her father. But Billie Jean King didn’t buy that explanation. “Mary does not feel confident on grass and many people think that the story of her dad was a smokescreen,” King said. “Play ers at Eastbourne were taking bets that she would withdraw. Getting to the final of the French, she became a star overnight. There is so much more pressure on her now.” Even when Pierce was en tered, Graf was an overwhelming favorite to win a fourth straight title. Now, with one less threat in her way, Graf should be a shoo-in if she doesn’t get tripped up early. “Graf is definitely an out-and- out favorite on the grass, for sure,” Gullikson said. “She’s got a tough first round, actually, in Lori McNeil, who plays well on grass, is a good athlete and vol leys well.” Monda; | hear the’ i getthroL In the | everyont was not | Democre I liberal E Thing be more ! makes v I don’i | to an abc There ar whereas The s: also vari moderat Nazis. 0 extreme someone may alsi visa-ver “Repub1 ; false lab in all ca So oft Republit but...” / distingu That’s li most me In the political wide rar have a n power, h Then firm in r I don’t k third-pa Many Stud< This Sui’s Gi bers of waste t bickerir We won “Grow x Many j need to erage o: average pie whe try taki Engine/ hearing °ur tim r espons people i and pu they wt Stop wj ing to p Pina Dr. Sui take ad with sti be puts ing and '■ The Ba a Res letter and will p fP a ce allot oeBOO wc delude name, da ^mber.
