Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood woke Sunday with elbow soreness after his first 1999 spring outing against Anaheim. He will be examined by team doctors with an MRI planned, as Chicago hopes the pain is scar tissue and not ligament damage.

He warns about mistreatment of tutors, promises a shift as CBS checks fuel recruiting, and forecasts intense marketing for the 1999 2000 season. Dan Coughlin comments in The Chronicle-Telegram.
