HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 14)
Do great things this year with help from your friends. A secret leads to love in May. Save every spare cent in June and July. Go on an excursion in September. Take the trip of a lifetime in January. Friends come through in March. Relay on an older person who knows in April.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Is there anything you are supposed to have done? It may not be due until tomorrow, but that still does not give you much time. Go shopping for gifts in the morning.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Not enough money? No problem. If you want to go out to lunch but cannot afford the restaurants, take a picnic in the park with food brought from home.
Gemini: Today is a 4.
It would be a mistake to assume you are smarter than a Pisces. You are more verbal. Pisces is the sign of the genius. You should always listen with respect to Pisceans
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You may be tempted to try something new. With support from a friend this morning, push yourself into a new lifestyle. Your adventure may be mental rather than physical.
Leo: Today is a 4.
If you are going to make a deal concerning your work, do it this morning. Later this afternoon, conditions change, and things are more likely to go wrong.
It looks as if the spotlight is on you. Let everybody know what needs to be done. If there are big decisions pending, urge people to choose quickly. The earlier the better.
Libra: Today is a 3.
Sagittarius: Today is a 3.
You are busy. Not only are there difficult chores on your agenda but there also is a mild state of confusion. Do not quit your job, but you could start looking for a better one.
Scorpio; Today is a 9.
It does not get much better than this. If you have been thinking about getting married, do not wait a moment longer. Make or renew the commitment.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You could spend this day at home in bed. If you have any sick time, it is not a bad idea to use it. If you are not really sick, call it preventative medicine.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
Not only are you in love, but you also are quite imaginai native. Make a creative suggestion early this morning. By the afternoon, you will feel a bit more inhibited.
It is a good time to buy real estate, if you can scrape together the down payment. Be available for a friend whose dreams seem to be falling apart.
Your intuition is excellent this morning. Later in the day, complexities arise, making the game more interesting. Focus on completion tonight and for the next few weeks.
Seattle Mariners fire failing pitching coach
SEATLEY — The Seattle Mariners, who have not had a save from their bullpen this season, fired pitching coach Nardi Contrares yesterday.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
He was replaced by Stan Williams, the team's advance scout. Williams is a former pitching coach with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees.
The American League West champions last year, the Mariners are 3-8 this season, matching their worst start ever.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
The Mariners were swept by the Boston Red Sox in a three-game series that ended Sunday. In two of those games, the Mariners led going into the ninth inning, but their relievers failed to hold on.
"I felt it was time to try a different approach," manager Lou Piniella said of the reason for the coaching switch.
Williams, 61, spent the 1997 season as a scout with the Yankees. He spent four previous seasons as Piniella's pitching coach, with the Yankees in 1987-88 and with the Reds in 1990-91.
"Our pitchers have the ability to be successful at this level, but we weren't getting the results we needed. I've worked with Stan before and had good success."
"Stan is familiar with our staff and will be able to step right in and go to work." Woody Woodward, the club's vice president of baseball operations, said.
"We believe it was time to make a change in an effort to improve our pitching," he said.
Cardinals' catchers trade on disabled list
SAN FRANCISCO — The St. Louis Cardinals placed catcher Tom Pagnozzi on the disabled list April 6 with a sore right shoulder and activated Eli
Marrero, who had cancer surgery last month.
since spring training, was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 4.
Marrero, a rookie catcher, had been taking part in extended spring training games in Jupiter, Fla., after missing much of training camp following removal of a cancerous thyroid gland in early March.
TOKYO — Jan-Michael Gambill is a player on the rise, and David Wheaton is a player in decline — their performances on Monday in the Japan Open reflected their situations.
The 20-year-old Gambill, who has vaulted from 176th at the end of last year to 81st in the ATP Tour rankings, beat italy's Stefano Pescosolido 6-3, 6-2 in a first-round match.
Gambill needed only one hour to win on a windy day with intermittent rain that delayed play on outside courts for more than four hours.
Pro tennis players set for rise, decline
byes, including No. 1 Patrick Rafter, who won the Gold Flake Open on Sunday in Madras, India, and No. 8 Kennett Carlsen, coming off a victory Sunday in the Salem Open in Hong Kong.
His victories this year include one against Andre Assagi.
Also among the top seeds are Michael Chang, Tim Hemman, Thomas Johansson, Vincent Spadea, Martin Damm and Gianluca Pozi.
Wheaton, who ranked 44th at the end of 1995 but has been plagued since injuries and slipped to 146th in 1997, had to serve at less than full strength because of an ailing elbow and lost 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 to fellow American David Diluc.
Gambill, seeded 11th, was the only men's seed in action on opening day. The top eight seeds had first-round
"It's going to take three or four weeks of rest before I can serve hard again," said Wheaton, who had a crucial service break in the final set's eighth game.
In a match between Germans, Rainer Schutter won 6-4,3-6,3-6 against Christian Vinck, who beat Chang in the first round last week in Hong Kong.
German David Pinosil defeated American Michael Sell 6-2, 6-1, and American Brian MacPhie beat Sweden's Kalle Fvytt 7-6 (7-2), 6-4.
In women's action, third-seeded Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand let a 4-0 first-set lead slip away, then came back from 3-5 in the second for a 4-6, 7-5, 6-0 victory against South Korea's Kim Eun-ha.
American Ginger Nielsen beat No. 7 Miho Saeki of Japan 7-6 (7-5), 6-2. In another women's match, American Meghann Shaunhessy defeated Taiwan's Janet Lee 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
Top seeds Al Sugiyama and Naoko Sawamatsu, both Japanese, had first-round byes.
of the Kentucky Derby because of a chipped ankle bone, discovered after his defeat in the Blue Grass Stakes. The problem had perplexed the
horse's cower and trainer.
"He's been bothered by
Classy colt injured, out of the running
something in his last couple of races, and now we know what it was," co-owner Will Farish said yes terday. "He's going to have arthroscopic surgery on the left front ankle."
Trainer Neil Howard said he hoped the arthroscopic surgery would be performed today in Lexington. He thinks the colt could next race at the Saratoga meeting in August or by September.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lil's Lad is out
Lil's Lad led through moderate fractions but was unable to respond when Halory Hunter passed him.
The chip was discovered in an X-ray Sunday, one day after the classy coil with a world of speed placed second behind Halary Hunter in the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland.
"I'm sorry that he's going to miss the Derby, but we had no other choice," Farish, board chairman of Churchill Downs, told The Associated Press from Delray, Fla. "It's going to be early summer or fall before he comes back to racing. He's a talented colt."
Lil's Lad won his first three starts but kept bearing out in the recent Florida Derby. He was disqualified and placed second for bumping Cape Town, who was made the winner.
Howard said no X-rays were taken after that race. He suspected trouble after watching Saturday's race.
"It was pinching him a little bit in the stress of a race," Howard said yesterday. "You could tell something was wrong."
