DALLAS (AP)— When Judy Smith joined a country club a few years ago, she tried to get week end tee times but was always told none were available. “Dumb me, I assumed that in the ’90s I would get whatever tee time I requested,’’ recalled the former insurance executive, who had joined Prestonwood Country Club through her company. “I talked to a few of the other women members and they told me, ‘You’ll never get a tee time on Saturday or Sunday because that’s when the good ol’ boys play,”’ Smith, who is now president of the Dallas Women Executives’ Golf Association, told The Dallas Morning News. Although many country clubs have admitted minorities as mem bers, some still bar women from prime tee times and grills and either deny them admittance or offer “secondary” memberships. Two of the most expensive and traditional clubs, Dallas’ Northwood Club and Brook Hollow Country Club, offer full memberships only to men. Women may join with husbands Dumb me, I assumed that in the ’90s I would get whatever tee time I requested.” Judy Smith former insurance executive or other male family members. The most expensive club in town, Dallas’ Preston Trail Golf Club, with a $75,000 initiation fee, admits men only. Limited tee times, men-only restaurants and other such poli cies hark back to an era when many women weren’t part of the workforce. But now — with 76 percent of women working outside the home and many needing to conduct business the way men do — some find themselves still shut out. “The old standard was men worked and women didn’t and the men should have priority on the weekends,” said Will Baker, an investment adviser and former board member at Dallas Athletic Club in Mesquite. “That’s all changed, we recognized that, and we made changes.” Dallas Athletic Club now has unrestricted tee times on its two golf courses. Women are now the fastest growing group of golfers in the United States. More than 5 million American women play golf, and about 40 percent of new players are women, the National Golf Foundation reports. “This is 1997, not 1967,” said Brenda Dickey, who works in sales and is a member of Canyon Creek Country Club in Richardson. “You’re looking at a situation that has not changed dramatically since 1968, when I joined this club.” Prestonwood Country Club owner Vance C. Miller, a real estate executive, and other club officials declined to comment on club policies. Two added to Boxing Hall of Fame CANASTOTA, N.Y. (AP) — The International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday enshrined one of the ring’s gold en boys and a promoter many say has tarnished the sport indelibly. Charismatic Sugar Ray Leonard, a world champi on in five different weight classes, and flamboyant promoter Don King were among 13 people who took their place alongside boxing’s greatest. True to their reputations, Leonard gushed with brief thanks for past champions and the fans who made him one of the sport’s most popular boxers; King, meanwhile, spoke for 30 minutes, giving trib ute to Muhammad All before lampooning his critics and promoting his upcoming fights. “This is not a personality contest. ... This is some thing where you recognize what people achieve, what they do,” said King, who, despite his controversial image, received a standing ovation from the nearly 5,000 fans gathered for the installation ceremony. Similarly, fans stood for Leonard’s induction. “What you people don’t understand or realize is that all the former champions, including myself, you don’t know how much love we feel because now we have a second home here. That’s what it’s all about,” Leonard said. “This is the most prestigious award in my entire life.” Also inducted was former light heavyweight cham pion and 1956 Olympic silver medalist Jose Torres, who admitted being nervous over “the biggest thing that has ever happened to me in boxing.” Torres said boxing was not only a physical compe tition but “a contest of character and intelligence.” He called it an “imperfect” sport and said more needed to be done to give all boxers a stronger, inde pendent voice. The other 10 inductees were enshrined posthu mously. With this year’s induction, the Hall of Fame has 178 members in four categories: modern, old- time, pioneers and non-participants. The inductees were chosen by a panel of 142 box ing writers and historians from the United States and nine other countries. Although boxers must be retired for five years to be eligible, a loophole in the rule allowed Leonard’s election this year even though he has resumed his boxing career. Leonard, a 40-year-old grandfather, came out of a six-year retirement to fight Hector “Macho” Camacho in March. Camacho battered Leonard, stopping him in five rounds. With an electrifying style, Leonard first captured the public’s imagination when he won a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. Leonard went on to win world titles in five weight classes — welter, junior middle, middle, super middle and light heavy — amidst several short-lived retire ments. His record stands at 36-3-1, with 25 knockouts, and includes victories over Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler. While Leonard was a boxing darling, King has been both glorified and vilified during his 30-year career in which he has promoted over 300 champi onship fights, including Ali and Joe Frazier’s “Thrilla in Manila,” and the “Rumble in the Jungle” between Ali and George Foreman. Greer continuesU NL show Rangers beat up on Padres, 7-4 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Rusty Greer continued his one- man show against National Leaguers, driving in the go- ahead run and scoring another as the Texas Rangers beat the San Diego Padres 7-4 Sunday night. Bobby Witt (8-3) ended a three-game losing streak to win for the first time since May 20 and John Wetteland pitched the ninth for his 15th save. Texas wrapped up the first weekend of inter league play with a 3-1 record against the NL, and Greer was the main reason. He went 9- for-12 against San Diego and San Francisco with two doubles, two homers and four walks. On Sunday, he was l-for-3, hit by a pitch, stole a base and made a nice catch against the wall in left field. Greer’s first-inning strikeout ended a streak of getting on base in nine straight plate appearances. Since Wednesday, he’s reached base in 17 of his last 20 tries. Witt gave up eight hits and four runs, only two earned, in seven innings. All the runs came in the third and fourth innings, and he faced just nine batters over his last three innings. He struck out five and walked one. Andy Ashby (2-3) gave up seven runs, six earned, and 10 hits in five innings. He was acti vated from the disabled list before the game after missing 25 games nursing a sore right elbow. San Diego went up 1-0 in the third inning when John Flaherty doubled and scored on consecutive grounders to sec ond base, but Juan Gonzalez singled home Damon Buford and Clark drove in Greer to make it 2-1 in the bottom of the Mitchell Continued from Page 3 Rodman’s only real contribu tion to the series was reminding the public and sports enthusi asts in particular how pleased we will be when he finally hangs up his tired sideshow act and fades into retirement, which in all likelihood will be next season. Rodman’s first incarnation was that of The Worm, a Motor City rebound hound during the late ’80s. Even then, Rodman’s gazelle-like gait and uncanny ability to be where the ball was the minute it clanged off the iron made him an interesting figure on a team that already had multiple personalities. Like the smooching Isiah Thomas, the “Microwave” Vinnie Johnson and the baddest of the bad, Bill Laimbeer, Rodman’s enigmatic presence enthralled audiences and drew appreciative reviews from fans who enjoyed watching his hus tle and air-tight defense. Then, somewhere in the early ’90s, Rodman went AWOL from the Pistons and, some say, the world in general. The turning point may have been when his whereabouts were unknown for two days, and he was eventually found in a gym with a gun close by, pondering suicide. Seemingly from that point on, Rodman made the decision to live his life the way he want ed, virtually unchecked by any voice of reason or common sense. As his off-court exploits drew paparazzi in greater and greater numbers, Rodman’s on- the-court shenanigans grew increasingly violent. Always a passionate player, Rodman began collecting tech nical fouls by the bushel, and his constant provocation and inciting of opposing players began going further and further over the line. Consumed with self-impor tance, Rodman lost the abfiity to be a team player, at one point kicking off his shoes in the middle of a game as a San Antonio Spur. It was expected that the pair ing of Rodman with the no-non sense Jordan would curb some of his antisocial behavior, but a head-butted referee and kicked cameraman both would testify against that notion. The final straw may have come last week when Rodman went so far as to criticize Utah’s Mormon population in rather colorful terms. Now, no team in the league would take a chance on a public relations nightmare like The Worm. So perhaps, mercifully, this may be the last we see of the cross-dressing, self-promoting thug, at least in this incarnation. Rodman probably has show- bizzed himself right out of a job. The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen. Orioles outlast Braves in 10 Camps Continued from Page 3 “We try to do promotion of the school, promotion of a lot of the values of the school within the framework of the camp,” Lange said. “We try to get the instructors to take their campers at some point over to Rudder Tower to see the movie. “Between that and the yell leaders (making a presentation) and just being around campus, we want campers to get a feel for campus because we want them to come back and be students.” And what about a little recruit ing should these coaches find a diamond in the rough? “It has a recruiting aspect more from an institutional aspect than a tennis aspect,” Lange said. “I don’t know that there has ever been a player come to camp who has compet ed for Texas A&M. But I guaran tee you there’s been a lot of kids who’ve come to camp who have come to school here.” ATLANTA (AP) — The fans seem to love interleague baseball. The Atlanta Braves probably have a different opinion. Baltimore completed a three- game sweep of the NL champs on Sunday when Lenny Webster hit a two-out, two-run homer in the 10th inning to give the Orioles a 5-3 victory. Atlanta has lost seven straight games to AL teams, going back to four straight losses against the Open Continued from Page 3 “I’d give anything in the world for a mulligan,” Lehman said. “It was a shock to look up and see the ball not going where I wanted it to go. “Losing three in a row,” Lehman said, his voice trailing off as he thought back over his clos ing 73. “This is probably the toughest one. I felt like I had everything going my way.” Montgomerie, who finished third in the 1992 U.S. Open, hung with Els, his playing partner, by making seven consecutive pars on the back nine with some clutch putting. He saved his par with a 12-foot putt on No. 10 and made a 10- foot par save on No. 14. His bogey on No. 17 came when he pushed his 6 iron from 203 yards into the right greenside rough. He chipped to 5 feet but the magic ran out, and he missed. Montgomerie had a 25-footer on No. 18 that could have tied Els, but the difficult breaking putt never had a chance and he fin ished with a 69. “If I knock on the door enough, as I seem to be doing, especially in this tournament, the door will open one day,” Montgomerie said. “I just got to be patient.” The youthful Els has now won four times on the PGA Tour, including his two U.S. Opens. He also had a great chance to win the 1995 PGA Championship at Riviera when he took the lead into the final round, but he played too conservatively and saw New York Yankees in last October’s World Series. And the prospects for breaking the streak don’t look good. The Braves face Roger Clemens on Monday when they play Toronto. The three-game series between the two best teams in baseball made a compelling case for inter league play. All three games were sellouts, and all three were tightly contested.

His swing is regarded as one of the best in golf and his touch around the greens is as deft as his power. His accuracy off the tee is awesome. Els, in his brief career, also has established a reputation of being at his best when it means the most. He has now finished 12th or higher 11 times in the four Grand Slam events. At his tender age and with his ample ability, Els should emerge as one of the golfers who will keep Tiger Woods from dominat ing golf. Woods, who never seemed to find the patience needed to win the U.S. Open this week as he sought to follow up on his Masters victory, finished with a 72 on Sunday and was at 6 over par, 10 strokes behind Els, ending talk of a Grand Slam bid. Winning all four majors in the same year could be a difficult task for Woods — or anyone — while Els is around. m
