HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Oct. 29)
You are very emotional today and even the smallest things will get to you. Keep to yourself during the day but gather some friends together for dinner and some of your stress will ease up.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Expect the unexpected today when new variables sneak into your equation. A confrontation ends in an embrace. What begins with discord could end in accord.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
One quick, strong push gets you moving today. You wonder why you've held yourself back for so long. Self-improvement becomes less of a tedious chore if it's done in a partnership or as part of a team.
Your actions are enhanced by their context today. A simple explanation becomes a lecture course for college credit as more people stop to listen. The messenger is as fascinating as the message.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Expect some difficulty with a relationship that is gen erally stable. Ideas are challenged from an unexpected quarter. Avoid sudden movements when standing on shaky ground.
Leo: Today is an 8.
All forms of courtship are favored today, from corporate to romantic, from subtle compliment to friendly ambush. You can say what you mean in just a few words, but it could lead to a long discussion. Dating will be a memorable experience.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Test the strength of your emotional commitment by making a joint purchase with your partner. A discussion about value carries metaphorical weight. Do something fun to lighten up a serious moment.
Libra: Today is a 9.
No matter what your social class, today you feel like royalty. Everyone is reaching out to touch the hem of your robe. Remember that benevolent rulers play much better in history than tyrants.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Establishing your credentials may be a bit of a struggle today. If the playing field isn't level, you may as well concede the game and go home early. Talk with someone who understands your dreams.
Personal power is even more thrilling when you accept the responsibilities that come with it. Honor your own hopes and wishes once you've taken care of everyone else. Friendship is a refuge after a hard day in public.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Summaries are favored over details if you hope to win someone's favor. Justice will be served if you move quickly. Be wary of delays during a decision process.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Accentuate similarities instead of differences today.
You connect the dots in a way that usually seems impossible. Experience is the best teacher, and you are ripe for another lesson.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Someone close to you may be putting on an act for your benefit. Ask a thousand questions before agreeing to make major changes. Distrust anyone who asks you to compromise your ideals.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
PARIS — Boris Becker beat Australian Mark Woodforde, 6-2, 6-4 yesterday in his opening match at the Paris Open and will play top-ranked Pete Sampras in the second round.
Becker advances in Paris will meet Sampras next
Becker won five straight games in the first set after being down 1-2, then came back from a 1-3 deficit in the second set.
A lh ough Becker is a threetime Paris Open champion, he is ranked 23rd this year and is not seeded.
He has retired from Grand Slam play and has entered only a few tournaments this year.
Becker: Won his opening match at the Paris Open.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"Next year I will play a full
schedule for February and March and see what happens," Becker said. "I'll see if Germany still needs me in the Davis Cup as a player."
Sampras beat Becker in the 1995 Paris final and beat Becker last July at Wimbledon in what the German said was his last match at the All-England Club.
Sampras leads Becker 11-7 in their head-to-head series.
Former French Open champion Yeveng Kafelnikov advanced easily with a 6-1, 6-2 victory against Daniel Vacek and will play either Nicolas Escude or French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten.
"He has the power of today and the finesse of the old game," Becker said of Sampras. "I am looking forward to the match and challenging him."
Arnaud Clement rallied to beat Marc Rosset, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. Rosset, who lost to Andre Assagi in the 1994
Paris final, was up a break in the third set at 4-2 but gave it away when he double faulted twice in a row in the seventh game.
Sampras, Michael Chang and Patrick Rafter start play today.
Injured list a possibility for Portland forward
Doctors have been unable to determine the precise reason for the soreness, which has bothered the 6-foot-8 forward since training camp.
"It just popped up, and all at once it was there," Trent said. "I can't let it frustrate me. That would do me no good. I just have to wait until it heals."
PORTLAND, Ore. — It looks like Gary Trent will start the season on the Portland Trail Blazers' injured list because of persistent soreness in his left shin.
The injury has kept Trent out of the competition for playing time among several players at his position.
Trent returned to Portland on Sunday after spending several days in Cleveland, where he underwent additional tests to try to pinpoint the cause of the pain.
"I've had bone scans, MRIs, Xrays, and everything has come out negative as far as there being a stress fracture," Trent said. "We're just trying to determine what's going on. But it's good that all the tests don't show a stress fracture."
"I'm going to give it 10 days," he said, "then after that, take it day to day. It's hard to sit here and watch practice. It's like having a baby, but there's no due date. It could come any time now."
Trent said that he did not know when he would be able to play again.
Skip Dalton, Johnson's agent, confirmed sending the request to team counsel Russel Smouse last week after learning that general manager Pat Gillick speculated Johnson had only a 50-50 chance of returning next season.
Johnson is to be paid $750,000 in 1998 as part of the final season of his $2.25 million, three-year contract.
BALTIMORE — Davey Johnson,
Baltimore Orioles manager, wants
either his contract extended beyond
next year or the club's management
to buy him out so that he can talk to
other clubs.
According to Dalton's fax, Johnson hoped to return and wanted to discuss the issue soon.
Orioles manager seeks contract discussions
Orioles owner Peter Angelos acknowledged reading the letter, "The Baltimore Sun" reported.
"There's nothing to negotiate," Angelos said. "He's under contract."
Dalton said that Johnson would prefer an extension of his contract beyond next year.
However, if the extension request were to fail, Johnson wanted a contract buyout.
"One of the reasons we'd like to get things squared away is if he needs to look somewhere else, he'd like to be free to do that." Dalton said. "Right now, we're
not free to do that."
If Johnson leaves, the Orioles are said to be interested in hiring Jim Leyland.
Leyland led the Florida Marlins to a World Series title following their wild-card finish in the NL East.
Schumacher refuses to apologize for collision
"it's part of the game. But I didn't try to foul. ... I see no reason to apologize," Schumacher said of the maneuver in Sunday's European Grand Prix. The incident cost him this year's world title.
Schumacher, needing only to finish ahead of Villeneuve in the last championship race to clinch the 1997 title, spun off the track after the collision. The Canadian finished third.
"I did not expect him to try to overtake there, and I was caught by surprise," said Schumacher, a two-time world champion.
Some accused him of deliberately steering into Villeneuve's Williams-Renault, attempting to take both cars out of Sunday's race.
MARANELLO, Italy — Michael Schumacher admitted yesterday to accidentally colliding with Jacques Villeneuve but did not apologize.
"In Formula One, you make decisions in a thousandth of a second. I tried to defend my position. I did not expect to have him so close, so much inside, and perhaps I overreacted ... My reaction for sure would not be the same if I had time to rethink," Schumacher said.
FIA, the governing body, has asked him to come to a special meeting Nov. 11 in Paris.
Schumacher said that he was happy to go there and explain what he did.
