,y Fordal with Accord-lost in the first round of the playoffs both years.Carr to drive CelticsWALTHAM, Mass.-M.L. Carr has never coached before. His boss doesn’t know if he can. Yet the Boston Celtics director of basketball operations took the coaching job Monday after a long search.The enthusiastic Carr is devoted to changing the somber mood surrounding the once proud franchise. He is committed to installing a running game and will rely on his assistants to help him do it.“It’s an open question as to whether or not M L. can coach,” Celtics chairman of the board Paul Gaston said at a news conference. “I think we’re all going to have fun finding out.” Carr, 44, had one year added to the three seasons remaining on his contract and will handle both jobs.Olympic tickets hot itemATLANTA-Tickets to the prime events of the 1996 Olympics, including the finals for basketball, gymnastics and diving, already are oversold and will go only to those whose orders survive a lottery.And, in a surprise to the organizers, many lesser-known sports, including two-thirds of the badminton sessions, more than half the fencing and almost all the table tennis, are projected to be oversold by the end of the month, organizers said Monday.One-liners■ Edgerton’s Steve Strieker ranks 22nd in PGA earnings this year with $375,841. He ranks eighth in birdies with 235 and in the all-around rating.■ Former heavyweight Mike Tyson will be honored with his day in Harlem today, where he planned to announce the undercard of his upcoming fight and to lead a rally outside the Apollo Theater. But on Monday, the Brooklyn native turned down an invitation to attend a Harlem candlelight vigil for abused women The event’s sponsor, African-Americans Against Violence, had asked the convicted rapist to join them and publicly repent.■ Pittsburgh Penguin star Mario Lemieux’s return to the sport he dominated as a fourtime NHL scoring champion will be made official today in a news conference that may detail how many games he plans to play in 1995-96.Michael Waltrip, who threw a pair of punch-Player/At 60,still workingContinued from ID“I’m just running to the clock all the time,” he said, moments after spending nearly a half hour signing autographs. “Everybody is waiting for me and I’m keeping them waiting and I hate that. I hate to rush.”But Player, who has won 158 tournaments since joining the PGA Tour in 1957, has no immediate plans to cut down his whirl-wind schedule.“Only time will tell,” said Player, who will give up playing on the Senior Tour as a first step. “I do not want to play when I can’t play well. I don’t want to be an embarrassment out there.”That is why Player cannot understand why Jack Nicklaus continues to occasionally play on the PGA Tour. The 55-year-old “Golden Bear” played in the U.S. Open this past week but missed the cut when he shot a second-round 81.“We have a Senior Tour,” Player said. “Why do you want to play on the regular tour? The Senior Tour is as tough to win in as the regular tour because the courses are shorter You get Greg Norman or anybody from the regular tour and they’re going to find it very, very tough to win out there.”Player, who was one of the first members of the PGA Tour to adopt a regular weight-lifting schedule as part of his training regimen, continues to work out daily. He does at least 1,000 sit-ups daily and at one point of his presentation, stepped back from the podium and gave himself two solid shots to the mid-section.With more pro golfers following his type of year-round training routine, Player remarked during the exhibition that one day, a 60-year-old will win the U.S. Open.“I didn’t say soon,” he said, when reminded of that comment later in the day. “But your grandchildren will probably seecuuipmug a i-h icuuiu jujuthrowing well throughout theseason.Up from the West’s 1994 second team are Jyll Rademacher, a junior infielder from Milton who hit .486; Nicholl Zimmer-mann, a junior infielder from Jefferson who hit .467; April Nimphius, a senior infielder from Delavan-Darien who hit .321; and Heather Martin, a sophomore infielder from Elk-horn who hit .300Lisa Brown, a sophomore infielder from Milton, and Jennifer Horgan, a junior infielder from Delavan-Darien, are on this year’s second team after making the All-West first team last season.Milton heads this year’s All-West picks with four first-team selections.
