Eusebio hits slam, Astros
sweep Cardinals
HOUSTON (AP) — Mike Hampton
allowed five hits over eight innings
and continued his mastery of St. Louis
as the Houston Astros beat the Cardi
nals 9-0 Wednesday for their fourth
straight victory.
Hampton (2-3), who struck out sev
en and walked two, improved to 4-1
career against St. Louis and lowered
his ERA to 0.42. He is 1-6 against the
rest of the National League.
Rookie reliever Pedro Martinez
pitched the ninth to complete the
shutout as the Cardinals lost their fifth
straight and ninth of their last 11.
Tony Eusebio capped the scoring
with a grand slam in the eighth, his
second homer of the season and sec
ond grand slam.
Mike Morgan (3-3) got the loss.
□ Three SWC players
were selected in the
two-round draft
Wednesday night.
Mantle released from
Dallas hospital
DALLAS (AP) — Baseball great
Mickey Mantle was discharged from
the hospital Wednesday after showing
significant improvement from liver
transplant surgery nearly three weeks
ago, his doctor said.
"He was doing very, very well,"
Dr. Robert Goldstein said. "We had a
long talk (Wednesday morning) and
decided to release him. He was very
anxious to get out of the hospital.
"Because of his notoriety, he's
been rather isolated," the transplant
surgeon said. "He's ready to spread
his wings."
Cowboys' Williams not
indicted by grand jury
TORONTO (AP) — Even more
than usual, the NBA draft be
longed to the young.
The first five selections
Wednesday night were players
younger than 21, including four
who left school after their sopho
more years and one straight out
of high school.
The Golden State Warriors
made Joe Smith, a 6-foot-10 for
ward from Maryland with silky
inside moves, the first pick. The
Los Angeles Clippers followed
with another forward, Antonio
McDyess, a player largely un
noticed during his two years at
Alabama until his strong post
season.
Later, the Clippers traded
the rights to McDyess along
with Randy Woods to Denver
for the 15th pick, Brent Barry
of Oregon State, and forward
Rodney Rogers.
Philadelphia used the third
choice to take North Carolina’s
Jerry Stackhouse, a forward ex
pected to play shooting guard.
The fourth selection belonged
to Washington, which went for
another sophomore Tar Heel —
Rasheed Wallace, a 6-10 center-
forward who shot 65 percent
McKINNEY (AP) — Erik Williams
emerged from the two-month legal
shadow Wednesday when a grand jury
declined to indict the Dallas Cowboys
offensive tackle on sexual assault alle
gations.
The Collin County grand jury found
insufficient evidence to indict the former
All-Pro and a friend in the alleged sexual
assault of a 17-year-old woman at
Williams' home.
The decision came after the teen
ager reached a civil settlement with
Williams and asked that Williams and
Roderick Carson not be prosecuted.
Details of the settlement have not
been disclosed.
SWC Players Taken in the NBA Draft
♦Kurt Thomas: Power forward / center from
Texas Christian University. Selected by the
Miami Heat with the 1 0th pick in the first round.
♦Terrence Rencher: Shooting guard from the
University of Texas. Selected by the Washington
Bullets in the second round with the 32nd pick
overall. Traded with Rex Chapman to the Miami
Heat for Ed Stokes and Jeff Webster.
♦Mark Davis; Forward from Texas Tech
University. Selected by the Minnesota
Timberwolves in the second round with the 48th
from the field.
Minnesota went fifth, produc
ing the biggest question mark of
the draft, Chicago high schooler
Kevin Garnett. The rail-thin 6-
10 forward is only the fourth
high school player ever selected
in the NBA draft.
“I’ve seen a lot in my 19 years,”
Garnett said. “I do not think I’m
the average 19-year-old. Given
the chance, I’m going to prove to
all of you that I am man enough
to take what is given and mature
enough to give it out.”
McDyess, Stackhouse and
Wallace are 20, and Smith will
be 20 next month. Despite their
tantalizing talent, all come with
questions about how soon they
can make an impact.
Not until the expansion Van
couver Grizzlies took Bryant
Reeves, the best true center of
the draft, at No. 6 was a four-
year player selected.
The NBA’s other new fran
chise, the Toronto Raptors, made
Arizona point guard Damon
Stoudamire a surprise seventh
choice. The Raptors already had
a point guard, former Chicago
Bull B.J. Armstrong, from the
expansion draft, but general
manager Isiah Thomas said
Armstrong would be traded.
The selection of Stoudamire
drew a mixed reaction from
the crowd of 21,268 fans in the
Sky Dome.
Smith became the third sopho
more selected No. 1 overall, fol-
lowing Magic John
son in 1979 and
Chris Webber in
1993. Smith also was
the first No. 1 pick
from Maryland since
John Lucas, selected
by Houston in 1976.
"When I got to
Maryland, no one
expected me to have
as successful a sea
son as I had,” said
Smith, who was not
heavily recruited
out of high school.
In Oakland Colise
um Arena, about
2,000 fans cheered
wildly when Smith’s
name was announced.
Last year with the Terrapins,
Smith averaged 20.8 points, 10.6
rebounds and 2.9 blocks a game.
For the Warriors, he fills a void
up front left by the departure of
Webber, top pick of the 1993
draft who was traded to Wash
ington early last season after a
dispute with former Golden
State coach Don Nelson.
“He’s a guy that has im
proved every year, we think
there’s still a tremendous
amount of growth to him,”
Twardzik said. “He brings us
size and mobility, he can defend
and he can score. He has a
great presence on the floor.”
Stackhouse, who was projected
as the second pick but didn’t want
to play for the hapless Clippers,
was thrilled to slip to third.
“When I heard McDyess at
No. 2, I was as happy as if they
had called my name.”
“It is a better program and
situation for myself,” he said. “I
will be able to learn a lot from
(center) Dikembe Mutombo.”
Portland, which had traded
with Detroit to get the eighth
pick, took shooting guard Shawn
Respert of Michigan State. The
Trail Blazers traded his rights to
Milwaukee for 11th selection
Gary Trent of Ohio, and a 1996
first-round pick.
New Jersey followed with
UCLA forward Ed O’Bannon at
No. 9, and Miami took Texas
Christian power forward Kurt
Thomas at No. 10.
The 12th pick went to Dallas,
which selected Duke center
Cherokee Parks. Sacramento se
lected Arkansas forward Corliss
Williamson 13th, and Boston
chose Eric Williams of Provi
dence with the 14th pick.
University of Texas guard
Terrence Rencher was selected
by the Washington Bullets with
the 32nd pick, then was part of
a package deal that sent to him
to the Miami Heat. Rencher is
the third player in two years
taken in the draft. Last season,
guard B.J. Tyler and forward
ALbert Burditt were taken.
Texas Tech’s forward Mark
Davis was taken by the Min-

Thomas was the highest pick
from a still-Southwest Conference
team since Southern Methodist

by Portland with the 31s
