Seles to share No. 1 ranking with Graf NEW YORK (AP) — Monica Seles, who has not played on the tennis tour since being stabbed more than two years ago, is expected to be given a co-No. 1 ranking with Steffi Graf, The New York Times reported Wednesday. The newspaper said the an nouncement by the WTA Tour likely will be made by Thursday and stipu late that Seles will share the ranking for at least six events. Seles is to play an exhibition with Martina Navratilova on July 29 in At lantic City, N.J., and has entered next month's U.S. Open. She has not said in which tournaments she will play leading to the Open. Seles held the No. 1 ranking at the time of her stabbing during a tourna ment in Hamburg, Germany. Seles' attacker said he was intent on injur ing her so Graf could reclaim the No. 1 ranking. Astros crush Dodgers with 13-4 win LOS ANGELES (AP) — Derek Bell led a 16-hit attack with three hits and three RBIs and the Houston Astros ral lied for six runs in the eighth inning and beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 13- 4 Tuesday night.

(AP) — Arthur Ashe will be honored in a manner usu ally accorded Richmond's white Con federate icons — with a bronze statue on a grand, tree-lined boulevard. In a unanimous decision Monday, the City Council voted to put a 24-foot monument to the late black tennis star among those of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and J.E.B. Stuart. "I am elated, first because the city of Richmond had the chance to move forward, and second because Arthur will be honored," said Ashe's brother, Johnnie Ashe. Ground-breaking for the statue of the sweatsuit-clad player is expected within a few weeks. Ashe's widow, Jeanne Moutous- samy-Ashe, wasn't available for com ment Tuesday, said Alfonso Ramirez, a spokesman for the Arthur Ashe En dowment for the Defeat of AIDS in New York. Wednesday • July 19,1 c Italian cyclis j y dies in Tom I de France CAUTERETS, France Italian cyclist Fabio Casar was killed Tuesday wher crashed at high speed; mountain pass, becoming third rider to die in the of the Tour de France. Casartelli, 24, of the Am can team Motorola, was ot several riders who failed tc gotiate a steep curve during descent from the Col de Pc d’Aspet in the Pyrenees. With the riders traveling speeds near 55 mph, Gasan- appeared to hit a concrete t on the side of the road and heavily onto the pavement. “It was a fairly fast desce said French rider Francois mon, who was behind Casar. “At a certain point, there k longer curve than the oil; Casartelli couldn’t mah turn. I think it was hist- wheel which hit the side, am flew in the air.” Television replays shw Casartelli lying on hisrif side in a fetal positiot stream of blood pouring': his head wound. Unconscious, he was take helicopter to a hospitai Tarbes, where he was: nounced dead 30 minutes k “I arrived 10 seconds c the fall,” said Gerard Pc chief medical officer the tour. "I could tell it ws serious injury. Casartelli: cuts that were bleeding bf We did everything in the: conditions and as fast we could.” i on to ch( the statu intern pause, “ . lowering Ever s the area Yugos pfintern I Tlip-flopp through c kbout th< : In 191 F’erdinar |ome Wo reated v ing V tacked e£ area was to quell t [ Durin. democrac ina decla headlong today bet backed b; | Bosni; ference t tween Se United h the wate M/ First year of new playoff system gives baseball fans plenty to root foi E ven though Major League Baseball is not having the greatest year, it does have one thing going for it — a playoff system that allows eight teams td make it to the postseason. Because of last year’s strike, fans were not able to experience the new postseason format. This year, it’s the only thing keeping baseball alive. Now that the National and American Leagues have been split into three divisions and a wild card spot has been added to each league, 15 teams have strong enough records to contend come October. In the old system, only eight clubs would have legitimate shots at getting the four playoff spots. The diffusion of talent in the majors makes the new playoff format make more sense because more teams have chances to earn postseason spots. The Cleveland Indians are the only division leader ahead by more than 6 1/2 games, with a 14 1/2 game lead over the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central. If the Indians were in the same divi sion with the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds, they would lead both teams by only five games. Baseball purists were against the expanded playoff format because they felt the change was made simply the owners could make more money. The more teams that are involved in the pennant race, the more fans will come out to the ballpark. The owners don’t care what they have done to the game, as long as they turn a profit. If there are a lot of people excited about their fa vorite teams’ chances in October, it can only be good for baseball. The fans have to be brought back somehow. When basketball and football playoff brackets were changed to allow for more teams, the team owners were blamed for being greedy. That might be true, but it also increased the populari ty of both sports. The National Football League added another wild card team in 1978, putting 1' teams into the postseason. The Oakland Raiders took advantage! the new system two years lateral/ became the only wild card teamte win the Super Bowl. If the National Basketball As sociation still used its old playol structure, the Houston Rockets would have played their last game in April. Instead, they entered the play offs as the sixth seed and captured their sec ond-straight NBA Championship. The lower seeded teams have also provided great series, like when the eighth-seeded Denvff Nuggets defeating the top-seeded Seattle Super sonics in 1994. This year, the California Angels and the Texas Rangers are battling for first place in the American League West. With the new system and with the way the two teams are playing, both will be in the thick of the pennant race until the season ends. Iftf teams are playing that well, neither deserves to lose out on a postseason bid. Teams like the Kansas City Royals and the Montreal Expos, who have no real chance of win ning their divisions, can now get in a groove and possibly steal a wild card berth. Before the chang those teams would be trying out minor leaguers a: different positions and planning for next year. The Baltimore Orioles currently are two games under .500 and still have a shot of makir. it into the playoffs. Two years ago, if a team wa: doing that badly at this juncture in the season,:: would be trying to trade veteran pitching to the contenders. This season, the Orioles are in the market for quality hurlers. The owners might have extended the playoE system for purely financial reasons, but in the process, they have made the game more inter esting. Greed is usually bad in professional sports, but in this case, it’s going to make a lot of people happy.
