Yankees pitcher fined for throwing a bat
NEW YORK — New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens was fined yesterday for throwing the jagged barrel of a shattered bat toward New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza in Game 2 of the World Series on Sunday.
BASEBALL
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Clemens was not suspended for throwing the broken bat in the first inning of Sunday night's game.
Clemens engaged in inappropriate conduct, according to a statement by Frank Robinson, the vice president of the commissioner's office in charge of discipline.
The amount of the fine was not disclosed, and Robinson didn't
give an explanation of his decision. But a high-ranking baseball official, speaking on the condition he not be identified, said the fine was at least $10,000.
The players' association can appeal Robinson's decision to Paul Beeston, baseball's chief operating officer.
During the game, umpires concluded that Clemens, who also hit Piazza on July 8, did not deliberately throw the broken bat at the catcher. Clemens was not ejected and pitched eight shutout innings in the Yankees' 6-5 win over the Mets.
While pitching for Boston in 1990, Clemens was ejected during a game against Oakland in the American League playoffs by bumpie Terry Cooney, who claimed that Clemens was cursing at him.
Clemens was suspended for five games and fined $10,000. After hearing the appeal, commissioner Fay Vincent concluded Clemens didn't curse at $ooney but said the pitcher's actions were unwarranted
and upheld the penalties. The suspension was served about a month into the 1991 season.
HOUSTON — Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan is back in the hospital after having chest pains on a recent business trip.
Possible heart problems hospitalize Ryan again
The 53-year-old strikeout king underwent double coronary bypass surgery in April. He was resting comfortably at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital on Tuesday after being admitted the day before, a spokesman said.
Hospital spokeswoman Sandra Warner said that doctors anticipated that Ryan would be discharged in a few days. She added that he was looking forward to watching the World Series with his family.
Ryan, who had 5,714 career strikeouts and pitched a record seven no-hitters, underwent emergency heart surgery on April 23 at the Heart Hospital of Austin, Texas. Tests then showed he had substantial blockage in a main coronary artery, but did not have a heart attack at that time either.
"The doctors have ruled out a heart attack, and he is undergoing diagnostic testing," hospital spokesman Jaspe Tieltling said.

NCAA puts Minnesota on four-year probation
BASKETBALL
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota men's basketball program was placed on a four-year probation and stripped of five scholarships yesterday after the NCAA found academic fraud in some of the most serious rules violations in two decades.
The Golden Gophers will not be banned from another year of postseason play, although that was considered, according to an NCAA news release obtained by The Associated Press.
In addition, three former university employees, including former coach Clem Haskins, will have to appear before the NCAA infractions committee if they want to return to college sports.
The committee agreed with the university that from 1994 to 1998, a former tutor did some 400 pieces of homework for at least 18 men's basketball student-athletes.
Conference tournament to return in Pac-10
An eight-team men's tournament and a 10-team women's tournament will be held at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The winners will earn the conference's automatic NCAA bids.
The Pac-10's decision leaves the Ivy League as the only Division I conference without a postseason tournament.
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — A decade after the Pac-10 scrapped its postseason basketball tournament, the conference announced it will bring back the event, beginning in March 2002.
OLYMPICS Wrestler fails drug test, forfeits gold medal
GENEVA — The International Olympic Committee stripped German freestyle wrestler Alexander Leipold of his Olympic gold medal after he failed a drug test.
The gold will now go to silver medalist Brandon Slain, of Amarillo, Texas, who lost 4-0 to Leipold in the final of the 167.5-pound division.
South Korea's Moon Eui Jae will move up from the bronze medal to silver, and Turkey's Adem Bereket will move from fourth to third.
Leipold was the third gold medalist from the Sydney Games to be disqualified because of the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The University of Kansas men's and women's bowling teams gained momentum after a weekend tournament at Westridge Lanes in Topeka.
The men's team fielded A and B teams for the tournament that finished fourth and eighth out of 20 teams.
The women's team finished seventh out of 11 teams.
Men's team captain Tom Partridge, Olathe senior, was the high scorer for the A team with a 215 average while Glenn Harrison, Frontenac sophomore, led all Jayhawk bowlers with a 216 average on the B squad.
Coach Michael Fine rewarded Harrison by promoting him to play on the A team when the 'Hawks send one squad to Chicago for the 80-team field at the Chicago Brunswick Great Lakes Tournament on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 10 and 11.
Fine said he was pleased with the team's performance and
would like to see it continue its solid play.
"I thought we learned a lot," Fine said. "(Central Missouri State) had won two tournaments this year and we finished ahead of them."
While the Jayhawks' A squad finished ahead of Central Missouri State, it came up short against a familiar nemesis.
"Nebraska has set the standard in this league." Fine said. "They finished first and third in this tournament."
The men's team has set the goal of reaching the 16-team national championship in April in Grand Rapids, Mich. In order to qualify for the competition, the Jayhawks must place in the top four of a 16-team qualifier in March in Kansas City, Kan.
Partridge said he was excited at the prospect of seeing Harrison join the A squad.
"We only had five in Topeka this past weekend." Partridge said. "And Glenn proved that he is a very viable option for this team."
Harrison also said he was look
forward to future competitions as a member of the A squad.
"My goal is for this team is to win, and I have no individual goals," Harrison said. "This team can be competitive with anyone."
"Overall, I was encouraged with all of the new team members," Fine said. "However, they need to do a better job shooting spares."
Although the inexperienced women's team did not enjoy the success the men's squads did, Fine said he was pleased despite the women's seventh-place finish.
Kristina Boehm, Olathe sophomore, was the high scorer for the Jayhawks with a 190 average. Boehm said she was impressed with the team's effort and the way team newcomers adjusted to the competition of collegiate bowling.
"We had a couple of freshmen and new bowlers, so it was hard for them at first," Boehm said. "However, we had good communication and we will continue to get better as a team."
