For classified Id and office ’ear and $50 per CONSTANCE PARTEN Sportswriter F ormer president George Bush was inducted into the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame on Sun day. Wow! Bush played in the College World Series in 1947 and 1948 as a first baseman for Yale. He played 31 games his senior year and had an impressive .992 fielding percentage, 245 put outs and 18 assists. Not bad for the wimpiest president since Calvin Coolidge. For his baseball achievements, Bush received a plaque, a T-shirt and a hat at the induction ceremony. Once again, that’s a plaque, a T-shirt and a hat. Now, I’m not the biggest George Bush fan in the world, but it seems to me giving a T-shirt and a hat to the former president in recognition for any accomplishment is beyond trivial. It’s right up there with Jerry Jones giving Jimmy Johnson a T- shirt in thanks for his work with the Cowboys. Jones received $2 million dollars by the way. Recognition is nice, and it doesn’t have to be something extravagent. There can’t be anything more de meaning to a grown man, particular ly one having held the highest office in the nation, than giving him what players in the Little League World Series get for merely participating. OT George was surely gracious when he received his T-shirt and hat, though. Who knows, maybe he wears the hat when he golfs or mows the yard down in Houston. Odds are A&M will be seeing that hat and T-shirt in the Bush Library. Alongside his Yale uniform and some great old pictures, they will serve as a reminder that even former presi dents are subjected to tackiness. Healing the injured DAMAGE By Mark Smith The Battalion Even with all of the training and preparations athletes go through to try to ensure success in their sport, injuries will occur. The severity of these injuries range over a wide spectrum, from minor “turf” bums to severe back and neck injuries. When athletes are injured, there is a number of specialists that help with Part three of three their treatment and recovery. Dr. William Hamilton, an orthopedic surgeon for Scott and White Hospital in Temple, said there are two main ap proaches to treating a sports injury. “There is the nonoperative approach, which deals mainly with internal medi cine,” Hamilton said. “And there’s the operative approach, which requires surgery.” When an injury occurs to an athlete it is usually the athletic trainer who is first to evaluate the nature of the injury and recommend a course of action. In almost all but the most minor injuries, the play er is then sent to see a doctor, usually an orthopedist, for further examination. Hamilton explained the procedure in volved with the preliminary examina tion.

National League ends streak, wins 8-7 in tenth PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tony Gwynn scored on the most exciting play at the pl^te in the All-Star game since Pete Rose, barely making it home on Moi- ses Alou’s double in the 10th inning, and the National League ended its six- game losing streak with an 8-7 victory Tuesday night. Fred McGriff’s tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth off Lee Smith earned him MVP honors and sent the game into extra innings, where the NL now has a 9-0 edge. Gwynn, one of the few players left from the days of NL domination, opened the 10th with a single off Ja son Bere. Alou followed with a drive to left-center field and Gwynn, playing the whole game in place of ailing Lenny Dykstra,. never broke stride. While third-base coach Jim Leyland was wav ing Gwynn home and running with him down the line, strong-armed shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. took left fielder Albert Belle’s relay and threw home. But Gwynn, a 10-time All Star, snuck his foot through the legs of catcher Ivan Rodriguez a split sec ond ahead of the tag. Gwynn, who had dou bled in two runs in the third, was mobbed at the plate after ending a game that both teams played hard to win. It was that way in the days of Rose, too, especially when he ran over catcher Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 12th inning in 1970. The NL’s last win was the last game to go extra innings, a 2-0 victory in the 13th inning in 1987. That night in Oakland, Smith was the winning pitcher. Doug Jones was the winner this year on a night when eight NL pitch ers managed to turn off the American League’s power. Bere, who faced only the two bat ters, was the loser. The NL leads the series 38-26-1. Marquis Grissom also homered for the NL, while Ken Griffey Jr. and Kenny Lofton each drove in two runs for the AL. McGriff connected for the NL’s first pinch-hit homer since Lee Mazzilli in Please see All-stars/Page 4 Come in For A FREE Workout!
