Kenyan Chebet wins Boston Marathon
WISE
MOVE
To place an ad, phone
845-0569
BOSTON (AP) — Kenya’s
men added yet another victory to
their decade of dominance at the
Boston Marathon, and Ethiopia’s
Fatuma Roba kept her own for
midable streak alive, too.
Joseph Chebet, a runner-up in
his previous three marathons,
ended his string of second-place
finishes by winning Monday’s
race in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 52
seconds.
Chebet became the ninth
straight Kenyan champion,
equaling the race record set by
U.S. runners between 1916-25 at
a time when few foreigners
entered the race. There was no
individual competition in 1918,
only a team race.
“Everybody in the world is
trying to catch the Kenyans, but
they can’t,” Chebet said.
The smooth-gliding Roba, the
1996 Olympic gold medalist,
eased to victory at 2:23:25,
matching the three consecutive
titles won by Germany’s Uta
Pippig from 1994-96. They are
the only two to win three in a
row since women officially
became part of the race in 1994.
While Chebet and Roba over
whelmed their opposition, two
crowd favorites — defending
champion Moses Tanui of Kenya
and four-time champion Bill
Rodgers — did not finish.
Tanui, also the champion in
the race’s centennial year in
“Everybody in the
world is trying to
catch the Kenyans r
but they can’t.”
— Joseph Chebet
Boston Marathon winner
1996, apparently was bothered
by leg cramps and dropped out
near the 23-mile mark. Rodgers,
seeking to break the course
record for over-50 by an
American, dropped out shortly
before the 21-mile mark because
of dehydration.
“I can run the race,” the 51-
year-old Rodgers said, “but I
can’t push hard for records. I
Former Tech star Battie arrested
BOSTON (AP) — Tony Battie
of the Boston Celtics was arrest
ed over the weekend for alleged
ly assaulting a police officer,
police said.
Battie was arrested around 2:20
a.m. on Saturday in front of the
Cosmopolitan Club, Boston police
spokesperson Sgt. Detective
Margot Hill told The Boston Globe.
Hill said Battie was asked sev
eral times by an officer to move
his car, but Battie refused.
Battie, who starred collegiately
at Texas Tech University, also
allegedly refused the officer’s
request for identification and tried
to drive off when the officer
attempted to arrest him. Hill said.
The officer’s arm was caught
in the driver’s window, Hill
said, and the officer was forced
to pull his revolver before Battie
stopped the car.

have to run more carefully, then
I’ll finish.”
Another popular New
Englander, Lynn Jennings, was
12th among the women in her
first official marathon at 2:38:37.
Jennings, 38, had run the
marathon as an unofficial com
petitor in 1978 when she was a
17-year-old high school senior
and ran about 2:46, a time that
would have placed her third.
“It was a rough go,” Jennings
said. “It’s slower than I thought,
but I’m glad I qualified for the
Olympic trials.”
For Chebet, whose previous
two losses were by three sec
onds each, this was his third
victory. He won the first two
marathons he entered, at
Amsterdam in 1996 and at
Turin, Italy, in 1997.
After his heartbreaking losses
last year, Chebet said he had to
train harder to win again, and
this time, he began preparing
about two months ahead of his
previous schedule.
The dogged Chebet took the
lead for good just past 22 miles
from Ecuador’s Silvio Guerra.

Robinson released
as L. A. Kings coach
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) —
For two months, Larry Robinson
had sensed his days as coach of
the Los Angeles Kings were
numbered. The team made it
official Monday when his con
tract was not renewed.
“When it really hit me was
the day Tim (team president
Leiweke) came to practice and
said if you guys don’t make the
playoffs, there’s going to be
changes,” Robinson told
reporters at the Great Western
Forum.
The Kings had a 32-45-5
record this season and failed to
reach the playoffs for the third
time in Robinson’s four years.
They were swept by St. Louis in
the first round last season, when
Robinson was runner-up for
NHL coach of the year.
“The kiss of death,” he joked.
General manager Dave Taylor
said he told Robinson before
Sunday’s 3-2 loss to St. Louis
that he would not be returning
as coach. Also out of jobs are
assistants Don Edwards, Rick
Green and Jay Leach.
“I wished I hadn’t asked
because it was a long game,”
Robinson said.
Robinson, 47, was in the final
year of a four-year contract. He
declined to sign a three-year
extension that was offered last
September when the team was
struggling. He said at that time
he was not sure he wanted to
continue coaching, which Taylor
interpreted negatively.
“It was difficult to understand
why he didn’t accept the exten
sion,” Taylor said during a sepa
rate news conference at the
Forum. “He was not sure of him
self and that has given the
wrong image.
“The players look to the
coach for leadership. For him to
have any hesitation is the wrong
message back to the players.
There was a lot of speculation to
Larry’s future all year and that
was a distraction to the club.”
Robinson, who won six
Stanley Cups during a Hall of
Fame playing career with
Montreal, had a 122-161-45
record in four seasons as coach.
He retired as a player with the
Kings in 1992, having never
missed the postseason in 20
years.
“I feel I let myself down,” he
said.
The team’s fortunes appeared
to be on the upswing a year ago
when it made a 20-point
improvement from the previous
season and posted its best record
since 1992-93 to finish second in
the Pacific Division.
But things unraveled this sea
son. The Kings lost 25 games by
one goal, had one of the league’s
worst power plays and lost 335
man-games to injuries or illness.
“We lacked consistency, and
at times we lacked the work
ethic,” Taylor said. “That’s not
acceptable.”
