HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 14)
Do great things this year with help from your friends. A secret leads to true 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. Rely 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 you 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 to Pisceans with respect.
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.
If you are going to make a deal concerning your work, do it first thing this morning. Later this afternoon, conditions change and things are more likely to go wrong.
Virgo: Today is a 9.
Libra: Today is a 3.
Scorpio: Today is a 9.
You are busy. Not only are there difficult chores on your agenda, but a mild state of confusion has come. Do not quit your job, but you could start looking for a better one.
Sagittarius: Today is a 3.
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 preventive medicine.
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.
Not only are you in love, but you are also very imaginative. Make a creative suggestion early this morning. By later on in the afternoon, you will feel a bit more inhibited.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
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.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
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.
Twins beat Royals 7-2 in windy Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pat Meares hit two home runs and Bob Tewksbury allowed four hits in seven innings as the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 7-2 Sunday.

Palmer with the bases loaded in the ninth inning.

Pichardo allowed seven hits and four earned runs in six and one-third innings. The Twins scored another run in the inning off reliever Matt Whisenant when Paul Molitor singled in Otis Nixon.
Meares' second homer of the game and season came in the ninth came against Jim Pittsley.

The Twins added two runs in the sixth when David Ortiz doubled in Lawton and Molitor.
Kansas City got a wind-assisted run in the sixth. Jeff King's long fly ball was blown around in the wind and was
dropped by Twins left fielder Marty Cordova for a two-base error, scoring Palmer.

Robb Nen (2-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.
Johnson's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the seventh tied the game 1-1. The Giants missed a chance to go ahead when J.T. Snow was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on a fly to right. Snow was then ejected for arguing with umpire Paul Schrieber.
Orel Herschiser, still looking for his first win with the Giants, gave up three straight hits in the first inning, including Ray Lankford's RBI single that scored Delino DeSheilds.
St. Louis starter Cliff Politte allowed one run and five hits in six-plus innings.
But Hershiser settled down, allowing just one run and six hits with six strikeouts in seven innings.

Scheid said the team win was important for looking ahead to the conference meet.
Nathan Prenger and Scott Russell also were event winners for the Jayhawks. Prenger, Jefferson City, Mo., senior, won the men's 110m high hurdles in 14.4 seconds.

Prenger said that he was beginning to feel healthy again and that he would compete in the decathlon this weekend, either at the Arkansas Invitational or the Mt. Sac Relavs in Walnut, Calif.
The decathlete said he had been fighting a nagging hamstring pull since the indoor season. The injury had forced him to withdraw from the indoor conference championship.
"This could be a great year to shine if I can put it all together," he said.
Russell, Windsor, Ontario freshman, won the javelin event. His winning throw of 223 feet, 6 inches was 20 feet farther than the second-place throw. Russell also placed third in the shot put and the hammer throw.

In the pole vault, Mason cleared 12 feet,3 inches,winning the event.

Branson also placed second in the women's triple jump with a mark of 36 feet, 2 inches. Nicole Stinger, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, placed third with a mark of 35 feet, 91/2 inches, almost two feet farther than her winning jump last weekend at the Emporia State Relays.
