HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You may be a bit confused about the way things are going, but don't worry. Most of the changes are for the better. You might want to cancel your trip for tonight. Travel will be less-complicated during the weekend.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You've had it pretty good for the past few weeks. Now, it's time to get back to work. There could be all sorts of new responsibilities coming your way soon. Before you get too swamped, make special time for a friend in need. This won't cost more than your attention.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Your adds have just improved in a lot of different ways, and you'll feel stronger and more confident. You also need to be tuned in to other people, so add "sensitive" to that list, and you'll really score.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Although you may be stuck at home, connections you make with a foreigner now could turn out well for you. Maybe you could trade houses on your next vacation or something. At any rate, you could become good friends.
Leo: Today is a 6.
The sun going into Libra is a big change for the better. You want to try all sorts of new things — and soon. It may be a while before you get all the bugs worked out, though. So, don't be dismayed if something you try today doesn't work.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
It's about time for you and your mate to buy something you've been thinking about. Think about it so you know what you want before you go shopping this weekend. You'll have an easier time finding this thing if you pin it down beforehand.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You're getting stronger, luckier and smarter. You're also getting more attention. A coworker may be bumbling around, making more messes than progress. Steer that one in the right direction, and you'll get points for being a good manager, too.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
You're in love. That's the good news. The bad news is that it interferes with work you should be doing. That, in turn, could cut down on your income just a little. If you've got enough stashed away, this is not a problem.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
You might have accomplished a few things with your career. That was the whole idea behind all the testing you've been through recently. Now, you're just about done with that. You'll see. Things are going to get a lot easier.
You've already said you'd do something kind of tricky. Trouble is, you don't know how. You were betting on your own immense ability to learn. Now, you have to do that — quickly, too. No problem, right? Start with a couple of good books on the subject.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Your luck just took a massive turn for the better. It's about to be vacation time! Your first thought may be, "But, where will I get the money?" That's why you've been counseled to save your money recently. Did you? If so, go! If not, plot.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You've been found out. People know how wonderful you are. And, sure enough, they'll ask you to do all sorts of favors for them. These may cause a conflict with what you'd rather be doing. You can still be a nice guy and just say "no." Nicely, of course.

Chiefs trade cornerback to 49ers for draft pick
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have traded cornerback Robert Williams to San Francisco for a draft choice in 2000.
Williams, a second-year cornerback, was a fifth-round draft choice from North Carolina in 1998. He appeared in all
The team also re-signed four-year veteran cornerback Juran Bolden to a two-year contract.
At 5-10 and 182 pounds, Williams lacked the size Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham wanted in his cornerbacks.
16 games last season, including one start. in his rookie season, he recorded 16 tackles and half a sack
"It's a good organization I'm going to and an opportunity to play more," Williams said. "I think it will work out for the best."
Carolina. In six games with the Panthers, Bolden had six tackles and recovered one fumble on a kickoff. He also played with Green Bay in 1998 after seeing action in the season's first three games with Atlanta.
Bolden, 6-2 and 207 pounds, was in camp with Kansas City earlier this year. He spent last season with

TENNIS
A third Belgian, qualifier Kim Ciljsters, also advanced, overwhelming Slovenia's Katarina Srebotnik 6-1, 6-1 to reach the second round.
On a good day for Belgians, she was joined by second-seeded Dominique Van Roost in the quarterfinals, Van Roost came from behind to beat Anne-Gaelle Sidot of France 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Williams withdrew from the tournament Tuesday, saying she was exhausted after three straight weeks of tennis. That gave Callens, a Belgian, a berth as a lucky loser from the qualifying round.
LUXEMBOURG — Els Callens, who got into the Seat Open when Serena Williams pulled out, won her first match yesterday.
Callens saved four set points in the opening set before beating Barbara Schwartz of Austria 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals.
After winning entry, 14-year-old loses early
TOKYO — Monique Viele's first appearance on the Women's Tennis Association Tour didn't last long.
The 14-year-old from West Palm Beach, Fla., lost to fellow American Jane Chi 6-3, 6-1 yesterday in the first round of the Toyota Princess Cup.
"I wasn't feeling down at all," Viele said. "I was just happy to be out there. I guess my game was a little off."
"It was like fighting my little sister," she said. "And I did not want to lose to my little sister."
Chi, ranked 69th in the world, did not stand to gain much from this match.
After challenging the WTA Tour rule barring players 14 and under from playing in its events, Viele received a wild card into this tournament. The organization amended its rule in June to allow 14-year-olds to receive one wild card into WTA tour events.
While rain halted most of the day's matches, Vilei and Chi played for 80 minutes under the Ariake Colosseum roof.
BROOKLINE, Mass. — Payne Stewart is the kind of guy who cranks up the volume on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" in the hallway of the hotel, someone who would look as comfortable draped in the Stars and Stripes as in his knickers and tam o'shanter. How badly did he want to play in this Ryder Cup?
After securing his spot on the team by winning the U.S. Open, he was at The Country Club within a month getting to know the course. During the last two major championships, he proudly wore a Ryder Cup hat during the practice rounds.
Nothing, however, showed his determination quite like his victory at Pebble Beach in February, which moved him that much closer to his first Ryder Cup team since 1993.
GOLF
"I want to get on the Ryder Cup team because I'm tired of us losing," he said. "The last two Ryder Cup teams I was on, we won. And the last two I wasn't on, we didn't win."
Stewart eager to make his mark at Ryder Cup
Here he is, finally, ready to make a difference, willing to grab his teammates by the collar and shake some spirit into them if he finds it lacking.

teenagers who now are freshmen at the University of Kansas. Upward Bound, which is part of the School of Education, provides room, board and activities for incoming freshmen who qualify for the program.
"It's a college prep program with high school students. We try to focus on the whole college experience," said Todd Martin, associate director of math and science center.

"Tim was much more than just a chaperone."
One of four counselors. Bowers' job was supervising and tutoring when needed, but he also set up activities at night and met with students to discuss
His personal touch is what makes Bowers a hit off the field.
"He's integral to the success of the program. He made sure the kids were up on time, made it to breakfast, went to class — all that stuff," Martin said.
"It can be a 24-hour-a-day job," Bowers said. "But you get to a lot of the kids, which is really fulfilling."
Shannon Hardiman, Kansas City,

in Elsworth Hall during the summer.
She said the atmosphere in Upward
Bound was like family — something
she wasn't used to.
"He's all buff and cocky, but he's got his own style," Hardiman said. "He's an individual."
His responsibility and academic record are what made Bowers so desirable to the Upward Bound program.
"He's a great role model. He's fantastic in school and in football," Martin said.
Bowers relishes making an impact with students who might have a hard time making the transition from high school to college.
Almost like a father figure, Bowers doesn't intimidate the kids with his physique, and he doesn't try to belittle them with his intelligence.
"Tim's like family to me," Hardiman said. "He laid down the law, but he was real cool about it."

Former Jayhawk appointed to board
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
Bill Hougland, a member of Kansas' 1952 NCAA championship basketball team, was appointed to the Kansas All-Sports Hall of Fame Board of Trustees Monday by Gov. Bill Graves.
"This is very much an honor for me," said Hougland, Lawrence resident. "I'm glad to be able to serve at a facility that is very important for the whole state of Kansas."
Houglain said that he was not too surprised by the appointment because he was approached some time ago by several members of the present board and that he was asked if he would be interested in serving on the board.
Members of the board oversee the induction process and the operation of the Kansas All-Sports Hall of Fame in Abilene, said Ted Hayes, executive director of the hall.
The hall, which opened in July 1997, has attracted an average of 10,000 people each year, Hayes said.
Hayes said the hall had a collection of sports memorabilia related to Kansas sports and sports-related activities.
Besides playing on Kansas' NCAA championship basketball team, Houglund played for the 1952 and 1956 gold medal U.S. Olympic basketball teams. He graduated from Kansas in 1952 with a degree in business.
June Ann Bloskey and Barry Schwan also were appointed to the board on Monday.
