Haley gets four-year
extension from Cowboys
IRVING (AP) — All-Pro defensive
end Charles Haley has received a four-
year contract extension with the Dallas
Cowboys for $12 million.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said
the deal, reached Sunday, includes a
$3 million signing bonus and counts
$2 million against this year's salary
cap. Haley was to earn $1.95 million
this season in the final year of his
previous contract.
"This doesn't necessarily mark the
end of his career. But certainly makes
the statement that, at least from my
perspective, Charles Haley is going to
be a Dallas Cowboy for the rest of his
career," Jones said.
Haley, 31, retired immediately after
the Cowboys' 38-28 loss to San Fran
cisco in the NFL title game, but re
turned to the team March 8.
He has played in six of the past sev
en NFC championship games and four
of the past seven Super Bowls with the
49ers and the Cowboys.
"I know how desperately how
Charles, perhaps more than anyone
else on this team, wants to have that
fifth Super Bowl ring," Jones said.
Haley had 12 1/2 sacks and 68
tackles last season, 52 quarterback
pressures.
Oilers ink draft picks,
former A&M star Atkinson
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston
Oilers said Monday they have agreed
to contract terms with draft choices
Michael Roan, Gary Walker and C.J.
Richardson and a pair of journeyman
tight ends.
The Oilers picked Roan, a tight end
from Wisconsin, in the fourth round of
this year's draft. Walker was a fifth-
round pick from Auburn, while
Richardson was selected in the seventh
round from Miami. Both are defensive
linemen.
Houston also agreed to terms with
tight ends Butch Rolle and James
Thornton. Rolle last played for the
Phoenix Cardinals in 1993. Thornton
spent the last two seasons playing for
the New York Jets.
The Oilers also announced the
signings of free agent linebackers Ja
son Atkinson and Jimmy Wither
spoon, neither of whom played in the
NFL last year.
Commission suspends
Bandera Downs
gambling license
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Racing
Commission has approved an order
suspending Bandera Downs' pari
mutuel license and requiring it to
pay hundreds of thousands of dollars
owed to horse owners and the
government.
Paula Carter, commission general
counsel, said Monday that the
order had been agreed to by track
officials.
Bandera Downs, northwest of San
Antonio, shut down last month. The
San Antonio Express-News has re
ported an audit found money missing
from a state-required purse account
for winning horse owners.
Carter said the track owed $521,609
to the horse owners' account.
She said it owed $149,987 to
the Texas Racing Commission and
Texas A&M's veterinary diagnostic
lab, and about $80,438 to other tax
ing authorities.

won’t be the same without
Smith’s trademark backflip
as the National League
takes the field in the bottom
of the first inning.
The game loses some of
its luster without Maddux,
Smith and Griffey, and base
ball officials then must hope
for an exciting, entertaining
game. If American League
hitters light Nomo up for six
runs in the first inning,
don’t expect too many Amer
ican television sets to stay
tuned for long.
What baseball really
needs is a duplication of last
year’s game, won by the
National League 8-7 in 10
innings. In that contest,
held at Three Rivers Stadi
um in Pittsburgh, the Na
tional League provided
high drama.
In the bottom of the 10th,
Moises Alou drilled a pinch-
hit double off the left field
wall. Tony Gwynn raced
around third and beat Ivan
Rodriguez’s tag by inches to
win the game for the Nation
al League.
A dramatic game like last
year’s thriller would stir the
public’s interest..
It seems like a lot of factors
have to come together to bring
baseball back from the brink,
but the game has persevered
for 126 years.
True, baseball is sick, but a
classic All-Star game could be
just the right cure.

Former A&M golfer Anthony Rodriguez defeated Japan's Yasuharu
Imano Friday in the 20th Annual Collegiate Golf Championships.
Aggie freshman ready to
prove himself all over again
□ Injuries cut down on
Refugio's Toya Jones' se
nior season productivity.
REFUGIO, Texas — The
roar, known for nearly four
years at Ftefugio High School as
Toya Jones, was reduced to a
whimper in the last two months.
There was the disappointing
performance at the Class 2A
state track meet in May followed
by less-than-thrilling finishes at
three national meets.
But the Texas A&M-bound
football and track star, who offi
cially ended his prep career with
an injury-marred seventh-place
finish in the long jump at the
USA Junior Track and Field
Championships June 23, refuses
to complain about his recent
string of bad luck.
“My mother always told me,
‘To be a good winner, you have
to be a good loser,’ ” Jones said.
“I’ve won a lot over the years.”
Considering his past, the win
ning was expected to be grand
est his senior year. But the state
track meet — the site of Jones’
greatest performances — proved
to be a forerunner of several
less-than-expected results.
Sure, he won five medals at the
state track meet. Two golds (long
jump and triple jump), two silvers
(100 meters and 400-meter relay)
and a bronze (200 meters). And
Jones increased his state-medal
haul to 17, the most recorded by a
Texas prep track athlete.
However, the meet was a sc
par performance of sorts':
Jones, who came in as the!
vorite in four events before bet
upset in the 100 and 200.
The state meet performar
was followed by fifth-and-siE
place finishes in the long jar
and the 100 at the Golden W
High School Track and Ft
Invitational June 10 in Sac:
mento, Calif., a third-pla
finish in the long jump:
the Golden South Champ
onships June 17 in Raleip:
N.C. before the washout att:
USA junior meet.
For some, just getting inv:
ed to compete in national mee;
is considered an outstanditi
achievement. But high-calibf
invitations have becomett
norm for Jones, who has beer
regular at national meets sir:
starring at Amateur Athle!
Union events in grade school.
And only a year ago, Jonf
took second in the 100 attl
USA junior meet, earning asp:
as the anchor on the silve:
medal winning U.S. Junk
Olympic 400-meter relay tea:
at the World Junior Olympics!
Lisbon, Portugal.
His recent woes can partly!
blamed on injuries — a straine
left hamstring at the state mec
and a strained right hamstriri
at the USA Junior meet, limit
ing him to only two long jump:
and forcing him to withdra*
from the 100.

Richard continues life comeback
□ The former Astros'
pitcher took the mound
in the Old Timer's Game.
DALLAS — J.R. Richard was
among former baseball greats in
the spotlight today for the Leg
ends of the Game Baseball Mu
seum All-Star Classic.
He’s not the same pitcher he
used to be. But then, he isn’t the
same man he used to be.
Less than a year ago, the
6-foot-8 Richard weighted al
most 300 pounds and was living
under a freeway overpass
in southwest Houston. It was
the low point of a 15-year slide
from fame.
The former Houston Astros
star, slimmed down and with a
fresh start in life, had a view of
the spotlight again today in an
event leading up to Tuesday’s
All-Star Classic in The Ballpark
in Arlington.
He doesn’t call himself a
born-again Christian, but he es
pouses Christian principles
among his philosophies.
Sometimes his philosophies
don’t seem sensible, but you get
the point: Richard is fighting to
get his life back.
“It’s just like the frog and the
stork,” Richard said, relating his
newfound outlook on life. “The
frog might be half swallowed
but he can still have his hand;
around the stork’s neck.”
A friend who saw Richard living
under the overpass took him if
and helped him begin his turn
around. Richard now works for af
asphalt company in Houston
where he helps solicit business.
He’s also living with his wik
and 5-year-old son, J.R. Ill, in*
Houston apartment.
He almost refuses to loot
back on the bad times of his life
perhaps because of the pair
it causes.
In 1980, the 220-pound
Richard was one of baseball’s
most feared pitchers.
His 95-mph fastball earned bin
respect, not to mention af
$850,000 salary.
Shortly after pitching in tbf
1980 All-Star Game — in which hf
struck out Yankees slugger Reggk
Jackson, a moment he ranks as
the best in his 10-year career^
Richard began acting strangely.
After a string of three shutout 1
from May 31 to June 11, he begat
