(AP) — Detroit Red Wings team masseur Sergei Mnatsakanov has regained con sciousness, William Beaumont Hospital officials said today. “He has made sufficient progress now in terms of his level of awareness and in the consistency of his responses,’’ hospital spokes woman Colette Stimmell said. “Dr. Robbins told me this morning that we consider him conscious. ... Sergei is wakeful most of the time.’’ Dr. James Robbins is a trauma surgeon at Beaumont. Stimmell said Mnatsakanov’s return to consciousness happened gradually over the past few days. Red Wings defenseman Vladimir Konstantinov continues to show signs of emerging from a coma, Stimmell said. Both men remain in serious condition, she said. Reds manager throws pitcher out HOUSTON (AP) — Cincinnati Reds manager Ray Knight ordered pitcher Mike Morgan out of the clubhouse before Sunday’s game, leaving Morgan’s future with the team in doubt. Morgan said he has lost respect for Knight. The manager said that Morgan, 37, is frustrated because he knows he is near the end of his career. “I’m still in the process of look ing into the situation,” Reds gener al manager Jim Bowden said Sunday night. During a meeting before the Reds’ game with the Houston Astros, Morgan reportedly told Knight he could no longer pitch for a Knight-managed team. Knight called Bowden, then told Morgan to pack his belongings and get out. ‘Tve lost respect for that guy,” Morgan said of Knight. “I think our whole club has. That should be the writing on the wall right there, I think.” Asked whether it was the pitchers who were most upset with Knight, Morgan said: “Geez, pitchers, catch ers, outfielders, go down the list.” That’s 34c* •yv.i.iLv; a day & includes all the benefits of Cable TV TCA CABLE TV VIEWERS ENJOY: • Top cable channels; local news, weather and sports • Additional outlets at no extra monthly charge • One monthly bill; no long-term contracts to sign • No expensive equipment to purchase • Local installation; guaranteed on-time service calls - • Upgrade to optional channel packages at any time The Best Entertainment Value In Town!

He was there representing the Houston Astros in 1993 but never left the bench. Neither did St. Louis’ Lee Smith, who sat beside him. “He told me he hadn’t gotten in four straight games so I did n’t feel so bad,” Kile said. “It would be great if l do get in, but I’m not expect ing to.” Kile (10-3) is having one of his most pro ductive seasons the Astros Bagwell owl il prl 'h(| in — rotation. He Biggie pitched his first no-hitter on Sept. 8, 1993, after earning his first All-Star designation. He pitched a no-hitter through 8.2 innings Saturday before Kj| e finishing with a two-hitter in a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds for his final start before Tuesday’s All-Star game. He’ll be joined by second base- man Craig Biggio and first base- man Jeff Bagwell, who were voted starters for the NL All-Stars. The Astros have their largest All- Star representation since 1994 when Bagwell, Biggio, Ken Caminiti, John Hudek and Doug Drabek attended die game for die Astros. “I look forward to playing Camy (now with the San Dii Padres) again and (Kile) wil there, too, so hopefully he pitch while we’re all in the gam Biggio said. Kile is second in the NLwiti 2.17 ERA. He leads the leagues 141.1 innings pitched and among the leaders with 109stri outs, two shutouts and ,215opp nents batting average against. Kile credits his backup for outstanding season. “What happens is you sli sensing that you are getting afi breaks with a big defensive play timely hitting,” Kile said. “Itgii you a platform of confidence build on. Now, a lot ofthatishap pening for me.” Bagwell said Kile has best ft pitching great all year. “He had a great fastball, Bagwell said. "When he has lb ^ kind of fast ball, with a curvebal he’s very tough to hit.” Bagwell broke out of a miai slump on Sunday with a ft homer performance for the 10 time in his career. He wasO-for- going into the final game of ^ series against Cincinnati destroyed the Reds with his RBIs. “Obviously, I know I haven 1 * hern hilling the last few weekr e Bagwell said. “When l don’t hi. : we don’t score as many runs.

Bagwell is in the top 10amon| Ii y NL leaders in 10 hitting categories, including second with 24 homers, 78 RBIs and 52 extra base hits. “I’m still not exactly where! want to be,” Bagwell said. "I was drifting forward too much was better today.” Woods is on roll, on, off golf course itaril hat au'i LEMONT, Ill. (AP) — In terms of riches and acclaim, Tiger Woods already has left Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan at the first tee. The names now being used for comparison: Elvis and the Beatles. That’s how big Woods has become. And at 21 years old, his fame can only swell. “I thought I would achieve this much further down the road,” Woods said Sunday after winning the Western Open, his sixth victo ry in 21 events since turning pro last August. “I thought that would happen after I won a lot of tourna ments and got my name up there, but it’s been kind of different. “I guess a lot of it has to do with that the people are interested, therefore the media has to cover it, and then that keeps up the bu& The buzz might be deafening next week, when Woods takes liis game to i jSSsy., Troon for the British Open. He was told to expect it to be reminiscent of the reception the Beatles when the) arrived in tin United Statesii 1964. “I don’t know what it's going# be like,” Woods said. “And I was n’t around for the Beatles.” Woods won the Western going away, finishing three stroki ahead of his nearest competite Frank Nobilo.
