HOROSCOPES
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 4.
The person who seems the most confrontational may actually be your best friend. The person who's telling you to slow down and take a deep breath definitely is. You may have worked yourself up to warp speed over the past few days. Start to glide to a rest.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 9.
Today, you're drawing some attention — and with good reason. You're looking good, but that's not the only reason people want to be near you. They also want you to help them make decisions. One friend in particular is having an awful time.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
This is a great day to gather up a few secrets. Call up your favorite relative and ask for the latest gossip. Remember, don't be nasty. Supportive gossip is good for the person you're talking about, so your ears won't even burn. And, neither will theirs.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
If you want to fix something around your house,
this weekend should be a great time to do it. Of course,
the best way to begin is by making a list of what you'd like to accomplish. If you don't know what to do first, ask a Virgo or Taurus to help you decide. They love that.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
The best place for you to hang out tonight is right in your hometown. The best person to hang out with is a partner you've known for years. Do the stuff you used to like before and, sure enough, you're going to like it again.
Virga (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
The key to your success is a foreigner or someone who lives far away. Perhaps, it's a foreign market.
Maybe, like a boomerang, sending your product far away could bring the money back home. If you don't have a product or service yet, start thinking about one
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 5.
If you've studied carefully, you could make a shrewd business move today. Buying and selling might not be your area of expertise, so rely on the advice of a person who thinks it's fun. This person should work on your side, obviously.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Your partner's under pressure right now, and some of it is coming from you. That's all right. This is for his or her own good. Support the other person's talents, and you'll be well-supported in return.
Signatures (nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today it's a C.
Conditions are much better now than they were yesterday, although this morning is kind of difficult. The reason for that is partially because there's hope. It's Friday, and the weekend is coming, but it's not here yet. Don't fret. You've made it through the worst part.
Aaarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Todav is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9.
Circumstances beyond your control push you toward love. How terrible can that be? There might be a big age difference, but that's OK. Love's wonderful to have, no matter how you find it, so open up your heart and let it in.
You may want to head out of town tonight, but don't rush. You may get company instead. No point in waiting around to find out who it's going to be. Call your friends and invite them over. The real fun is in making it happen.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
Circumstances seemingly beyond your control push you toward education. This could lead to abundance, eventually. For a while, it will just lead to more studying. The abundance will follow, especially if you get yourself into the right class. Don't leave everything to chance.
CHICAGO — Sammy Sosa hit his 59th homer yesterday, increasing his major league lead and moving one away from becoming the first player to reach 60 twice.
Sosa hits home run, nears 60 plateau
BASEBALL
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Sosa: Has racked up 59th home run of the season.
But once again, he couldn't stop the Chicago Cubs from losing.
Cincinnati's Greg Vaughn continued his
own remarkable power display, hitting his fifth homer in three games, helping give the Reds a 5-3 victory. The wind was blowing out to right and center at 17 mph, but Sosa's drive, which ended a three-game homerless stretch, didn't need any help.
With 16 homers in his last 26 games, Sosa is eight games ahead of his 66-homer pace of a year ago when Mark McGwire of the Cardinals established a major league record 70.
Sosa, who also flued out, popped up, struck out and walked, leads McGwire by five homers.
Indians claim 5th title despite several injuries
Hargrove said from his hotel room yesterday. "It was very subdued."
CLEVELAND — The Indians were 20,000 feet somewhere above the central time zone when they clinched their fifth straight AL Central title. However, Cleveland's players didn't find out they were officially champs until they walked off their plane in Chicago early yesterday morning.
Needless to say, there wasn't any champagne popped near the bagage carousel.
"We shook hands and that was about it." Indians manager Mike
Cleveland was expected to win its division again this year without much of a struggle. But the Indians could never have imagined the route they would take to get there.
The team has been ravaged by major injuries almost since opening day, and only in the past week have All-Stars Travis Fryman and Sandy Alomar returned. Even now, Hargrove only has been able to field his opening day lineup four times — not at all since April 22.
"Obviously, I expected to win our division, and I don't want to come off as arrogant," Hargrove said. "That was one of the goals that we set before the season and one that was very attainable. But I can't say I thought we would clinch the division as early as we did."
500th home run ball hit by McGwire to be sold
ST. LOUIS — Jim Shearer, the 28-year-old architect who caught McGwire's 500th home run ball, has decided to sell it during an Oct. 30 auction in Las Vegas that also will include Mickey Mantle's 500th home run ball.
"We talked to a lot of people," Shearer said yesterday. "We talked a lot to my wife's family and my family. The more we talked about it, we started ed to feel better about selling it."
McGwire's ball, along with Mantle's, is the highlight of the auction, arranged by Michael Barnes, president of One-of-a-Kind Actions in Festus, Mo. Last season, Barnes helped Phil Ozersky, a 26-year-old researcher at Washington University, sell McGwire's 70th home run ball. Canadian comic book tycoon Todd McFarlane paid $3,005,000 for it.
the Belmont Stakes, Kentucky Derby-Preakness winner Charismatic has arrived at his new home, leaving little doubt he'd still rather be parading to the post than waiting to begin his stud career.
"He's a tiger," Lane's End Farm owner Will Farish said this week as he stood next to Charismatic's stall in the farm's stallion barn. "His healing is 95 percent there, and he wants badly to get out.
"I don't think he's in any pain, I think he's anxious to get out and do something."
Though he looks fit and ready to run, Charismatic is powerless to do anything about the charge to capture the 3-year-old championship that Lemon Drop Kid has mounted with wins this summer in the Belmont and Travers.

Baylor quarterback, end suspended for 1 game
WACO, Texas — Suspensions of 3aylor quarterback Odell James and
defensive end Charles Foster for Saturday's match against Nevada-Las Vegas are to be kept in the family said first-year coach Kevin Steele.
"And that's it."

"And that's the way we're going to
Steele announced on Wednesday night that he was suspending the players for one game following an unspecified violation of team policies.
Baylor said seniors Eddrick Brooks and Justin Snow are now scheduled to start at end. James, after being a redshirt in 1996, was suspended for the first five games of the 1997 season, reportedly for illegal use of a long-distance telephone card.
Men indicted in death of Emporia freshman
EMPORIA — A Lyon County grand jury has indicted three men in connection with the beating death in April of Emporia State University foot
ball player Brian Wagner.
The grand jury charged Andrew Lloyd, 21, Rex Pendley, 23, and Kelly Maxfield, 22, with second-degree murder.
Wagner, a freshman and a member of the Homet football team, was found beaten shortly before 2 a.m. April 21 in a downtown Emporia parking lot. He died six days later at a hospital in Wichita. Lloyd and Pendall were arrested Wednesday and Maxfield turned himself into authorities yesterday. At an arraignment yesterday in Lyon County District Court, Maxfield and Pendail pleaded not guilty. Lloyd entered no plea, but District Judge Lee Fowler entered a not guilty plea for him.
Lyon County Attorney Joe Lee said. The men are accused of beating Wagner, 19, during a parking lot fight that escalated.
PRO FOOTBALL Jury to decide on case against football great
LOS ANGELES — Charges that foot ball great Jim Brown threatened his wife and vandalized her car were in the hands of a jury yesterday.
The panel returned to Hollywood Municipal Court to deliberate after closing arguments Wednesday in which a defense attorney called Brown's wife cray, denounced police for responding in force to her 91.1 domestic violence call and said there was no such thing as battered woman's syndrome.
Brown, a Hall of Famer, could end up behind bars for 18 months if convicted of vandalism and making terrorist threats.

Tom Watson to tee off on senior circuit today
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS - Watching other senior golfers such as Lee Trevino and Hale Irwin struggle to keep up with younger players helped convince Tom Watson to change gears.
"It was time to pass the baton, but it is hard to let go." he said Wednesday.
this year, he made the cut in just seven of his 13
PGA Tour events, finishing no higher than 16th.
Watson's 1988 divorce from his wife of 25 years
also affected his game.
Watson, who turned 50 Saturday, will make his seniors debut in the Comfort Classic at the Brickyard. The 54-hole tournament begins today on
the grounds of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Watson remarried last week and thinks his focus and his game are getting back on track.
"I'm here because this is the first (seniors) tournament I'm eligible for," said Watson, who will play a minimal fall schedule before competing in earnest next year.
"My game is a little sporadic. My driver isn't going where I want it to go. But it isn't exactly out of control," he said. "If I can shoot between 12 and 16 under, I should have a chance to win."
Moving from the rigors of competing against younger players with longer courses doesn't guarantee success on the seniors tour, said Watson, who had been the leading active winner on the
PGA Tour with 34 professional victories.
GCA Tour with 4 professional Vice-President
Hugh Baiocchi won last year's Comfort Classic
with a tournament record 196, 20 under par. Watson shot 4-under 68 during Wednesday's pro-am.
"You've got to be right on here to shoot the type of scores Hugh Baiocchi shot here last year," Watson said. "The greens are holding much better than the greens on the regular tour. And these guys can flat play. I've been watching their scores."
Watson said he's looking forward to playing against many of his old friends now competing on the seniors tour. But he won't see them all just yet. The tour's top four money-winners — Irwin, Bruce Fleisher, Allen Doyle and Larry Nelson — are skipping this tournament.
