World Cup successful all around

Players, fans benefit
from FIFA's new
game regulations
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The best team
won, just as it did four years ago.
Otherwise, the 1994 World Cup was sepa
rated by light years from its 1990 predeces
sor.
Forget that this year’s tournament was a
smashing financial success and a monthlong
soccer party that the United States not only
was invited to, but hosted as well. And en
joyed, from Game 1 to Game 52 — and be
yond, into a shootout.
Remember, instead, how good the soccer
was in all nine venues. Sure, the final was
something of a letdown, being decided by
penalty kicks after a relatively disappoint
ing game between two powerhouses.
Still, it had its moments, and nearly
every other match did, too. More good mo
ments than bad, by far.
“We must applaud FIFA for finding ways
to make the soccer more entertaining, more
exciting,” said Pele, the sport’s goodwill am
bassador and its greatest player, who
watched Brazil take home the championship
for the first time since he led that nation to
its third title in 1970.
“After Italia ’90, FIFA understood
changes must be made. Those changes were
made, and the tournament in the U.S. was a
great success.”
There was more scoring, more creativity,
tighter refereeing — at least through the
quarterfinals — and tremendous enthusi
asm from a public that rarely embraced the
sport in the past.
Brazil clearly was the most skilled squad
in the 24-team field. It was undefeated in
seven games, showing resourcefulness, pa
tience and a staunch defense.
Plus, of course, that intricate short-pass
ing attack that sometimes appeared like a
maze. Opponents got lost in that maze, and
Romario or Bebeto sneaked through for
memorable goals.
And equally memorable celebrations such
as the “rock the cradle” number against the
Netherlands.
“It was a well-earned title, as Brazil was
indeed the best team in the tournament,”
Bebeto said. “Other teams changed when
they played us. Italy is the proof of that.”
Italy also was the proof of what persever
ance can do for a team. Nearly eliminated in
the first round, the last of 16 teams to ad
vance, the Italians were on the verge of a
second-round sendoff, too.
Then their star, 1993 player of the year
Roberto Baggio, awoke with two late goals
against Nigeria. He got another against
Spain, in the final moments. And two more
against Bulgaria.
“He has been through some very difficult
times,” teammate Roberto Donadoni said.
“Roberto has been unfairly blamed for our
struggles, but he has been injured and he
has been very well marked. But when we
were in our moment of need, he was there to
save us.”
Italy was as worthy of a fourth World
Cup crown as the Brazilians who won the
shootout. The Italians could go home proud
and respected.
Oddly, there were other teams that could
call their stays in the United States a suc
cess.
Certainly, the Swedes and Bulgarians
had to feel that way. Sweden had its best
showing since losing to Brazil in the 1958 fi
nal. Bulgaria, 0-10-6 coming in, had its best
World Cup ever.
Bulgaria and Romania, which fell in a
quarterfinals penalty kick shootout against
Sweden, stamped the Balkans as a budding
power base.
The host Americans should be satisfied,
too. They got the United States past the first
round for the first time in 54 years. They got
fans everywhere involved. Maybe they es
tablished a foothold for the sport on a profes
sional level. Finally.
League X-rays bat,
reveals cork in core
CHICAGO (AP) — Albert Belle of the Cleveland Indians was
found guilty Monday of corking his bat after a weekend investi
gation that included a mysterious switched bat.
It sounded like a case for Sherlock Holmes, but the Ameri
can League unraveled it to its satisfaction after X-raying the
bat, then sawing it in half.
The league said the bat was “found to have been treated.
Belle was suspended for 10 days, and the only question re
maining apparently was: Was it Belle’s bat?
Belle has appealed the suspension, which will be delayed
until his hearing.
Last Friday night, White Sox manager Gene Lament voiced
suspicions about Belle’s bat during a game between the White
Sox and Indians.
He said the staff had noticed that Belle had been hitting a
lot of long balls to right field throughout the season and Lam
ent said he’d “heard some things.”
Each manager can ask to have one bat from the opposing
team checked each game, and Lament asked umpire crew chief
Dave Phillips to do so.
Phillips seized the bat and placed it in the umpires’ dressing
room for safe keeping.
Or so they thought.
Later, while the game was still being played, someone
worked their way above a false ceiling from the direction of the
visitors’ clubhouse and dropped through the ceiling into the
umpires’ dressing room.
The thief took Belle’s bat and left another player’s bat in
its place.
By Sunday, another twist. The original bat, or what ap
peared to be the original bat, was returned.
If, of course, it was really the same bat that had been confis
cated from Belle on Friday night.
So, it was break-ins and switched bats, not breaking balls
and switch-hitters, that overshadowed baseball between two
teams fighting for first place.
Indians general manager John Hart claimed the activity
wasn’t criminal and any suggestion to the contrary would be
“ludicrous.”
“I look at it as more of a misguided sense of loyalty with a
teammate than anything else,” he said. “The key is to keep it in
perspective for what it is. This is a baseball team and guys that
stay together and play together.”
Hart wouldn’t say who was involved in the break-in or if it
might be an Indians player but said, “Obviously, it was some
one internally with the Indians.”

HOUSTON (AP) — The Hous
ton Astros matched the biggest
I comeback in NL history, rallying
from an 11-run deficit to beat
the St. Louis Cardinals 15-12
Monday night.
Kevin Bass, Andujar Cedeno,
Mike Felder and Ken Caminiti
each drove in two runs during
an 11-run sixth inning that put
Houston ahead 15-11.
Houston trailed 11-0 after
three innings. The Philadelphia
Phillies overcame a 12-1 deficit
to beat Chicago 18-16 on April
17, 1976, and the St. Louis Car
dinals rallied from an 11-0
deficit to beat New York 14-12
on June 15, 1952.
The major league record for
the biggest comeback is 12 runs,
done twice in the AL. The
Philadelphia Athletics rallied
from 14-12 to beat Cleveland 17-
15 on June 15, 1925, and Detroit
came back from 13-1 to defeat
Chicago 16-15 on June 18,-1911.
The Astros’ rally against four
St. Louis pitchers came follow
ing Friday night’s loss in Pitts
burgh in which they blew an 8-0
lead and lost 11-8.
Mike Hampton (2-1) pitched
two innings for the victory. Todd
Jones went three innings for his
third save.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — While
Mike Keenan was enjoying his
first day on the job as coach
and general manager of the St.
Louis Blues, the team he jilted
asked the league to void the
hiring.
The New York Rangers and
Madison Square Garden have
requested NHL commissioner
Gary Bettman arbitrate what
they termed Keenan’s “attempt
to terminate his employment.”
The Rangers also requested
an investigation into Keenan’s
“reported agreement” with the
Blues and “reported contact”
with the Detroit Red Wings.
“In the interim, the team is
requesting that the NHL pro
hibit Mr. Keenan from per
forming any services for any
other NHL club, including the
St. Louis Blues,” the Rangers
said in a statement.
The league did not immedi
ately respond to the Rangers’
demands.
Keenan, 44, didn’t appear
the least bit concerned about
possible ramifications to the
five-year deal he signed Sun
day night with St. Louis to be
come the Blues’ coach and gen
eral manager.
His first order of business
Monday was a tour of the Blues’
new home, the Kiel Center,
which he called “spectacular.”
Then he met with the media
for about an hour, flashing wit
and rhapsodizing about the
Stanley Cup he won just last
month for New York.
Keenan and his lawyer, Rob
Campbell of Toronto, both said
that they’d done nothing
wrong.
Keenan declared himself a
“free agent” Friday, claiming
the Rangers breached his con
tract by failing to pay him sev
eral bonuses plus his playoff
bonus within 30 days of the
end of the postseason.
He said he had yet to be
paid any of the bonuses, which
Campbell said involved a “very
significant amount of money.”
“My position was evaluated
very critically by a number of
people,” Keenan said.
“I wouldn’t do something of
this nature without having sol
id information and opinions re
garding our legal standing.”
Campbell said the situation
was “embarrassing” to the
Rangers.
“It’s clear that they’re upset
about this, and of course
they’re going to take a con
trary position,” Campbell said.
Campbell also said the Blues
should not have to compensate
the Rangers in any way.
“If the Blues had entered
into discussions with Mike
when he was employed by the
Rangers, then I could see it,”
Campbell said.
“The Blues acted in totally
good faith here.”
Keenan said he had not
been in contact with Bettman.
“I have no need to talk to
Gary Bettman,” Keenan said.
The signing of Keenan con
tinues a busy summer for the
Blues.
On July 4, they acquired de
fenseman A1 Maclnnis from
Calgary and signed free-agent
defenseman Scott Stevens to an
offer sheet, which was matched
by New Jersey.
They also signed wing Bren
dan Shanahan to a five-year,
$15 million contract last
month and signed veteran Jon
Casey, who had been offered a
termination contract by
Boston, to a multiyear deal
about three weeks ago.

Canseco's double
outs Cleveland
CLEVELAND (AP) — Jose
Canseco doubled home the go-
ahead run with two outs in the
ninth inning Monday night to
lead the Texas Rangers to a 6-
5 victory over the Cleveland
Indians, who may soon be
without Albert Belle.
The Indians, coming off a 5-
5 road trip, lost for the fifth
time in their last 29 home
games. The loss came hours af
ter they learned that All-Star
slugger Belle had been found
guilty of using a corked bat
during a weekend series in
Chicago.
Belle appealed the 10-day
suspension and will keep play
ing until his case is heard by
American League president
Bobby Brown on July 29.
Texas blew an early 3-0 lead
but came back to tie it 5-5 in
the seventh on a two-run sin
gle by Ivan Rodriguez off re
liever Jose Mesa (7-5).
In the ninth. Mesa yielded a
one-out double by Jeff Frye be
