Fund-raising group angered at Sosa
NEW YORK — Sammy Sosa failed to appear for a Congress of Racial Equality fund-raiser at which he was scheduled to be honored, and CORE officials said he made outrageous demands.
The Associated Press
CORE attorney Mel Sachs said Sosa's people made excessive demands that could not be met before the Monday dinner, a charge the agent for the Chicago Cubs outfielder denied.
CORE national chairman Roy Innis said the organization agreed to provide Sosa with four first-class round-trip airline tickets between New York and his
But CORE officials balked at Sosa's alleged demands for a private jet to fly him to and from the Mike Tyson fight.
Dominican Republic home, a limousine and a double hotel suite in New York.
Lysol Hygiene Las Vegas Saturday night and a $50,000 charitable donation to help Dominican hurricane victims.
Sosa: Denies asking for incentives to attend fund-raiser.
"I couldn't afford a private jet, and even if I could, I wouldn't do it." Innis said at the dinner, which was attended by 2,500 people.
Sosa, who hit 66 home runs last year, second only to Mark McGwire's record 70, has "to learn how to deal with his 15 minutes of fame," Innis said.
Innis' remarks caused a group of about 20 Dominican leaders to leave the Martin Luther King Jr. Day dinner in protest.
Sosa was supposed to receive CORE's International Brotherhood Award for achievement.
Sosa's agent, Adam Katz, said CORE's statements about the
negotiations were distorted.
"We by no means ever asked CORE to pay for private airplanes," he said. "To be engaged in a disagreement or misunderstanding with the people at CORE is extremely disappointing to Sammy and me."
Katz said that although Sosa has traveled by private plane during this off season, he doesn't expect charitable organizations to pay. Sosa has tried to arrange several functions in short time periods during his U.S. trips. Katz said Sosa never committed to the CORE event, and the schedule became too congested for him to attend.
Kentucky outranked, worried about Auburn
Wildcats feeling vulnerable after losing recent games
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — In most years, Kentucky would have every reason to be confident going into tonight's game against Auburn.
This year, however, the sixth-ranked Tigers are off to a 17-0 start, while the No. 7 Wildcats look vulnerable, having lost three of their last eight games.
Led by junior college transfer Chris Porter, who is averaging 18.6 points and 8.7 rebounds, Auburn has breezed, winning all but one of its games by double-digit margins.

Mississippi 63-57 on Saturday.
Kentucky coach Tubby Smith sounded envious yesterday as he talked about the Tigers, who are among the nation's statistical leaders in scoring offense and defense.
Auburn has benefited from the stability of having had Porter, Bryant Smith, Madamou
"They're very athletic. They're playing so well together as a team," Smith said. "When you're playing with that confidence, it's tough to beat anybody."

"We don't have that consistency yet," Smith said.

Despite not having won at Rupp Arena since 1988, Auburn coach Cliff Ellis did not expect his team to be intimidated.

"I think they're as prepared as they possibly can be," Ellis said. "Kentucky's a great team, but I think we're a good team, too."
but I think we must Auburn (5-0 in the Southeastern Conference) may have snuck up on some early opponents, but the 17-0 record means that the Tigers are no longer a surprise, said Ellis, who will be coaching his 700th Division I game.
"Every game is going to be a war," he said.
"In this position you're going to get everybody's best shot."
Kentucky (15-4, 4-1 SEC) may play without center Jamaal Magloire, who Smith said will be suspended for patting the underside of a Mississippi player's chin during Saturday's game.
lagoure would miss the Jamaal knows he was wrong," Smith said.
Magloire received a technical foul and was benched by Smith for the last 16 minutes of the Mississippi game but said afterward that he thought the incident had fired up his teammates. Smith disagreed and said yesterday that Magloire would be punished further, but he refused to give details or say whether Magloire would miss the Auburn game.
"There's no place for that type of conduct."
In December, when Maryland came to Rupp Arena with an undefeated record and a No.2 ranking, it was Magloire who guaranteed a victory for the then No.5 Wildcats, who won 103-91.
Magloire was unable to provide an encore yesterday as Smith kept him from reporters.
Other Kentucky players emphasized the need for improved shooting and overall play against Auburn.
"We've been a little up-and-down, a little more up-and-down than we want to be," center Michael Bradley said. "It's not like we have major problems, but we need to put a team away from start to finish."

"We need to start getting out in transition," he said, pointing out that the Wildcats had only two baskets off fast breaks in the loss to Tennessee. "That's not Kentucky basketball," he said.
Auburn's start is its best since a 19-0 beginning in 1958-59. That streak ended on Feb. 21, 1959, at Lexington's Memorial Coliseum, where the No. 2 Tigers lost 75-56 to the third-ranked Wildcats.
