Leroy Walker, president of the U S Olympic Committee, told the Associated Press Sports Editors convention in Cleveland that the Games are too big. The remark stunned a veteran coach and administrator who noted the Olympics’ vast international impact and front page coverage beyond other major sports events.
Jory Forbach cites Walker predicting a regional shift by 2000 with each country entering one or two athletes per event. Host cities will reuse facilities to control costs as bids outpace budgets, limiting expansion while preserving spectacle and nationalism.
The Indians rallied from a seven inning lull to beat the Twins 6 4 as Jim Thome delivered a two run homer in the eighth and Carlos Ramirez belted his 24th. Danny Graves earned his first major league win after relieving. The victory tightens the AL Central race with Chicago three games back as Minnesota led early before Cleveland surged.
Cleveland Indians general manager John Hart says the team, stuck below .500 since late May, may not make wholesale trades before the July 31 deadline. He cites injuries and off years by Carlos Baerga and Jose Mesa, but trusts the core can carry the club. Hart notes gray areas with Eddie Murray and hints on potential roster moves, while counting on health returns from Martinez Swindell and Franco.
The fragment lists a set of names as winners: Lisa, Dora, Carnl, Karate Swan, Marcy Mann, Cindy Kinwin, Dot Barres, Martyn Cannady, Batty Willams, Dot Rowe, Gad Holloway, Ruth Heyes, Bes Vincent, Bob be Bowen, Ruth Teung, Joan, Eleanor Wile Karrene.
Paul Molitor, back in Minnesota, has 2,915 career hits in 18 AL seasons. He led off the Twins' 5-4 loss with a pair of third-inning triples, his return fueling hopes of reaching 3,000 hits. Molitor, born in St. Paul, spent 15 years with Milwaukee and three with Toronto, and is batting .325 with seven homers and 64 RBIs through 94 games. He is on track to become the 21st player with 3,000 hits, a feat he says carries no guarantees.
