HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Sept.18)
Your day goes slow today, but don't worry. Someone you've had your eye on notices you. Be careful tonight though, so you don't hurt anyone's feelings. People are looking up to you.
Aries (March21-April 19). Today is a 9.
You excel in deeds of physical or mental prowess today. Your words and ideas carry weight, as if writ ten in stone. You are ready for an experience, if not an outright adventure.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 3.
**Tournai (April 20-May 20). Today is a 3.**
Today you should keep in mind the Amish proverb:

Gemini (May 21-June 20). Today is a 7.
Gemini (May 21-June 20). Today is a 7. An idea grabs you by the scruff of the neck and shakes you wildly. Others are easily convinced about the importance of your inspiration. Friends and associates make useful suggestions on how to move ahead.
Cancer (June 23-July 22). Today is a 2.
This might not be a very good day in your professional life. Your sense of permanence is threatened by an offhand remark or the end of a project. Fiery responses are not always appropriate from people with water signs.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
If you give in to the lure of spending your day alone, you may miss an unforgettable event. If you set your own needs aside for someone else's, you may miss a flash of personal epiphany. Compromise blunts some thing extreme.
Scorpios (Oct. 23-14, 2017). Today is a day.
When the moon in an Aries' house, make sure that all visitors check their weapons at the door. The excessive influence of Mars has everyone spoiling for a fight. A standoff could mark the beginning of a powerful assault.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
Worry may be holding you hostage today, no matter how much you tell yourself that everything is fine.

Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7. Take some time for yourself today and contemplate the ways in which you are truly free. The element of surprise plays an important role in your life. Write about or verbally describe your moment of inspiration.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20), Today is a 4.
Someone tries to take advantage of your contemplative nature, mistaking it for inattention. Keep a close eye on your money today. Unanswered questions may nag at your peace of mind.*
CHICAGO — Mark McGwire hit his 53rd home run of the season yesterday, the most in the majors
Cardinals' McGwire hits his 53rd homer
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
since 1961 when Roger Maris had 61 and Mickey Mantle had 54.
McGwire's latest homer,
a third-
inning shot
against the
Chicago Cubs, came one day after he signed a three-year, $28.5 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Since 1961, four players have had 52 homers in a season. Willie Mays
(1968) , George Foster (1977), McGwire (1996) and Ken Griffey Jr. (1997).
The Cardinals have 11 games left, including today's game at Wrigley Field.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Griffey, one behind McG-wire for the homer lead this season, had 11 games left for
McGwire: Hit his 53rd home run of the season.
McGwire, who was retired on a fly ball in his first at-bat in the first inning, hit a 1-2 pitch from reliever Rodney Myers into the right-field bleachers leading off the third. It was his 19th home run with the Cardinals and gave St. Louis a 6-0 lead.
the Seattle Mariners including a game at Texas last night.
McGwire hit 34 home runs with Oakland before being traded to St. Louis on July 31.
McGwire signed his new contract
with the Cardinals before Tuesday's game in St. Louis, then hit his 52nd homer in his first at-bat against Los Angeles' Ramon Martinez.
INDIANAPOLIS — Mary Slaney, embittered by a year of delays and uncertainty, has been cleared of charges she used a banned substance before the 1996 Olympic trials.
The International Amateur Athletic Federation suspended Slaney in May, complaining that U.S. officials refused to act on the case for more than a year.
A USA Track & Field hearing board yesterday exonerated Slaney, America's greatest woman distance runner.
World track and field's governing body said today it will study the U.S. ruling.
USA Track and Field exonerates Slaney
Stanley's lawyer, Jim Coleman,
said from Durham, N.C., that the
ruling meant his client was no
longer suspended. He did not know
if further legal action would be
taken.
“To win means she must have been innocent,” Coleman said. “It’s a very difficult process. I think there’ll be changes that come out of this because the investigation USATF did was abysmal.”
"Obviously, it's been very difficult," Slaney's husband, Richard Slaney, said from Eugene, Ore. "We're very tired. We want to digest this for a few days. It's been a long struggle."
She was suspended by the IAAF and not allowed to compete this summer in the U.S. outdoor championships in Indianapolis or the world championships in Greece, where she had planned to run the 1,500 meters.
Reineri said USATF has 15 days to document its decision. The IAAF's drug commission can then make recommendations to the IAAF council at its meeting in Monaco on Nov. 23-24.
Slaney tested positive for high levels of testosterone at the U.S. Olympic trials in June 1996.
Werner Franke, a molecular biologist who has studied the state-sponsored use of drugs in East Germany during the 1970s and 1980s, said many of the people and methods involved were still active today around the world.
LONDON — The system which helped turn East Germany into a sports power still is producing drug cheats, a German researcher said yesterday.
"They are still out there today—the coaches, the physicians, the technology, the functionaries," he said. "It's global."
"The legacy of the GDR doping system is the know-how and recognition of what can be achieved by anabolic steroids and the application of scientific methods to avoid detection by controls."
Steroid, drug abuses still plaguing sports
Speaking to the U.K. Sports Council, Franke reported on his research into files of the Stasi secret police which detailed the exact doses of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs given to East German athletes.
Franke said the files show that most, if not all, of East Germany's Olympic medal winners in strength and speed events had taken drugs.
athlete in a blue GDR shirt who wasn't on drugs."
Franke said the doping program was especially designed for women athletes.
Of the East German team at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, he said, "You name them. They all took drugs. You haven't seen a single
"The female athletes of the GDR took even more male hormones than the men," he said. "They all took more than Ben Johnson did."
Montgomerie, leading money winner on the PGA European Tour the last four years, has long said he would not move to the United States because his family preferred living in Britain.
Poor course conditions, inferior practice facilities and tougher competition were among the reasons cited by Nick Faldo, Ernie Els and Jesper Parnevik in recent years when they left the European tour to play in the United States.
NEW YORK — The European Ryder Cup team enters next week's competition against the United States faced with the prospect that several key players — including Colin Montgomerie — might leave to play full time on the U.S. tour next year.
Key European golfers may only play U.S. tour
Montgomerie, who has yet to win a major title, has played his best in the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship and might fare even better if he spent longer stretches in the United States before those events.
And then there is money. Purses on the U.S. tour will more than double during the course of a new four-year TV contract that takes effect in 1999.
Anyone in the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list at the end of the season is eligible to join the tour. Montgomerie is currently 33rd after only nine events and will easily finish in the top 125.
