NEW YORK (AP) — The ads
are showing up in the sports sec
tion, although maybe they should
be in the “Help Wanted” column.
“Could you make it in the Ma
jor Leagues?” read the bold-typed
notices appearing in several
Southern newspapers this week.
They’re being placed by the
Toronto Blue Jays, who, like
every other team in the majors,
are scrambling to find players to
replace striking major leaguers.
The Blue Jays are holding a
tryout camp for potential replace
ments this Saturday at their
spring training home in Dunedin,
Fla. Toronto is trying to attract as
many players as possible to the
workout, and trying different
ways to do it.
The team is putting the ads in
newspapers in eight cities, includ
ing Atlanta and Knoxville, Tenn.
On Monday, the advertisement
appeared on page three of the
sports sections of The News &
Observer in Raleigh, N.C., and
The Birmingham News in Alaba
ma.
The Blue Jays are looking “to
discover new baseball talent,”
said the ads, both two columns
wide and five inches deep. Ac
cording to the News & Observer’s
rates, that space would cost about
Help Wanted:
Could you make it in
the major leagues?
$765.
Potential players must be be
tween 19 and 25 years old and
bring proof of age, along with
their spikes, gloves and uniforms,
it said. Players cannot be under
contract to another professional
team and cannot be in high school
or junior college, or be from a
four-year college and have eligi
bility remaining.
The advertisement lists the
phone number of the team's
scouting department in Dunedir
and is signed ‘The Toronto Blufj
Jays.”
“We’ve gotten quite a feul
phone calls already,” Blue Jay;
spokesman Howard StarkmarJ
said Monday night.
He said that although most t
the one-time ads were beinJ
placed in newspapers around
Florida and Georgia, some would |
run for a day in North Carolina.
‘There are a lot of former play I
ers in that area, and we want id
let as many of them know about f
this as possible,” he said.
The Blue Jays had scheduled 2
pair of tryouts for California last
weekend, but they were post
poned because of heavy rains

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — While Deion
Sanders is the dance leader of the San Francisco
49ers defense, fullback William Floyd provides
the swagger on offense.
Floyd is a rookie who signs autographs “Bar
None,” a nickname he adopted after his agent
declared during negotiations that he would be
the best fullback in football “bar none.” And
Floyd, like Sanders a Florida State product, is
living up to the hype.
He has scored four touchdowns in the playoffs,
and his blocking has been one of the reasons
quarterback Steve Young has been sacked only
once in two postseason games.
“He can block an end, he’s a good receiver and
he’s a power runner,” Young said. “To me, he’s
the consummate fullback. When we lost Tom
Rathman, we got a rookie who doesn’t play like a
rookie.”
Marc Logan took over
as the 49ers’ starting
fullback when Rathman
went to the Los Angeles
Raiders before the sea
son, but lasted only five
games in that role. Floyd
got his first start at De
troit, where he helped
rally San Francisco from
a 14-0 deficit, and has
been the starter since.
Floyd scored a pair of touchdowns in that De
troit game, which the 49ers won 27-21 to start a
10-game winning streak, and provided a spark
for a team doubting itself after a 40-8 loss the
previous week to Philadelphia.
He was criticized by coach George Seifert for
excessive end zone celebrations following those
touchdowns, but Seifert and the rest of the 49ers
eventually have fed off those outbursts.
“I couldn’t change myself, and I told coach
Seifert that,” Floyd said. “He really respects me
for that, for being myself. The Detroit week,
everybody was over my back about me celebrat
ing and all different things. Then as soon as
Deion and the rest of the guys got into the act.
"It's not a negative thing at all.
I'm not poking fun at anybody.
I'm not trying to taunt anybody."
— William Floyd, 49ers rookie
there was nothing else said about it. I like that.’
Floyd’s chest-beating end zone celebrations in
clude spikes so violent that referees run for cover
when he prepares to slam the ball to the turf.
They also have provided riveting theatrics from
a once stolid team.
When Ricky Watters ran for 103 yards and
two touchdowns against Tampa Bay in October,
Floyd tackled him in the end zone to celebrate
the second score. Watters said it was the hardest
hit he took all day.
When Floyd scored his third touchdown
against Chicago in the playoffs, he tried to get
tackle Steve Wallace to spike the ball. The noble
Wallace refused, placing the ball on the ground.
Floyd picked it up, handed it to Wallace again
and slammed the lineman’s hands — and the
ball — to the turf.
“It's not a negative thing
at all. I'm not poking fun at
anybody. I’m not trying to
taunt anybody,” Floyd said.
“That’s just the way I play
football and I don’t want to
change anything. It brings
out the best in me. That’s ray
game.”
It was also during that
44-15 defeat of Chicago
that Floyd ended an end
zone fracas by body-slamming Bears defensive
end Alonzo Spellman, further erasing the 49ers
long-standing image as a finesse team.
And in last Sunday’s NFC championship
game, Floyd ran toward the Dallas bench during
pregame introductions to yell at the Cowboys.
“I think emotion might be the best thing I can
bring to this offense now,” he said. “I don’t think
I’ve ever been humbled, but we’ll see.”
The only person who seems not completely
pleased by this intensity is his mother, Sylvia,
who watches her son on television from Jack
sonville, Fla.
“I was talking to my mom the other day,”
Floyd said. “And she asked, ‘Why do you always
look so serious?”’

The Battalion
at a news conference
to announce the move
and the addition of Co
lumbia, Mo., business
man Stan Kroenke as
minority owner.
“I don’t think I’ve
been this happy since
the last game we won.”
St. Louis is certainly
hoping for better things
this time.
After enduring the pratfalls of
Bill Bidwill’s Cardinals for 28
seasons and zero playoff victories,
they get a team that historically
has been a contender but that
hasn’t fielded a winner in five
seasons. In 1993, they were 5-11.
Continued from page 7
:
The year before they were 6-10.
The cost for this also-ran
was steep. St. Louis beat out
Baltimore and a group from
Anaheim, Calif., called “Save
the Rams” because of a deal
that could yield $20 million in
annual profits for the Rams.
For starters, the Rams will get
a new $260 million domed stadi-
"I'm overwhelmed. I don't think
I've been this happy since the last
game we won."
— Georgia Frontiere, Rams owner
um, deemed the “most spectacu
lar stadium on the planet Earth”
by St. Louis County Executive
Buzz Westfall.
They’ll get to choose from
among three sites for a $15 mil
lion practice facility and their
annual lease is only $250,000.
St. Louis also is retiring the
Rams’ $30 million debt to Ana
heim and paying $15 million in
assorted relocation fees.
“They always say money is a
means to an end,” Frontiere
said. “This time, money is a
means to a beginning.”
Now there's so much money,
the arrangement may
have the appearance of
a modern-day holdup.
Former Missouri Sen.
Thomas Eagleton, who
led the negotiations for
the St. Louis civic group
FANS Inc., thinks not.
"It’s expensive to get a
team,” Eagleton said. “No
team is going to say,
‘Here we are,’ for free.”
As a cost analysis, Eagleton
said Chicago is spending $32 mil
lion to hold the Democratic Na
tional Convention in 1996 for one
week, but St. Louis will be getting
the Rams for at least 30 years —
the length of the lease.

FORT WORTH (AP) — The
primary design consultant to
the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way has been hired to work on
a proposed speedway for Dal
las’ west side.
The firm of Fink, Roberts &
Petrie has already begun design
work for the 1.5-mile track
planned by Waco racing mag
nate Billy Meyer, said William
Beuck, president of Morning
Park Inc.
Morning Park Inc. owns the
proposed site and has joined
Meyer Motorsports in develop
ing the multimillion-dollar
racetrack.
Beuck said conceptual draw
ings are underway, but it’s too
early to set a specific timetable
for the work.
“We’re really in the first
phase of a development project,’
he said.
Fink, Roberts & Petrie is a
firm noted for its longtime con
sultation with the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
Meyer announced his track
plans shortly before North Car
olina racing magnate Bruton
Smith announced plans to build
a $75 million auto speedway for
NASCAR events in the Dallas-
Fort Worth area.
