Davis Love qualifies for Masters
Last-minute win makes golfer an early favorite
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Davis Love fought back tears after a victory in New Orleans gave him a last-minute place in the Masters and made one of the tournament favorites.
The tears, however, almost certainly would have flowed had he known of the applause from a deathbed in Austin, Texas.
Harvey Penick, 90, for almost a half century head pro at the Austin Country Club and for more than 30 years golf coach at the University of Texas, died at his home Sunday following a lengthy illness.
"You know Mr. Penick and Davis"
father were close friends," Ben Crenshaw said before a practice session at the Augusta National Golf Club.
"Tom Kite was talking to him Sunday afternoon and told him Davis was leading New Orleans. Mr. Penick couldn't talk very well at that point, but he clapped his hands, real loud, three times."
Ironically, the man Love beat in the playoff, second-year pro Mike Heinen, had already qualified because he won once last year. So now Love becomes one of the favorites along with Ernie Els, Nick
Faldo, Nick Price, Greg Norman,
Bernhard Langer, Corey Pavin and
Peter Jacobsen.
But last year's winner, Jose Maria Olazabal, is likely to have some trouble.
Olazabal is on the mend from toe surgery in January. Limping noticeably, he missed the cut in New Orleans last week and came to Augusta earlier than expected.
He declined any comment after a practice round at Augusta National, but his manager, Sergio Gomez, said he was not limping as badly as he was earlier.
"I think he's getting used to limping," Gomez said. "Since we came here, he has felt comfortable; not confident, but comfortable."
Crenshaw, who also missed the cut in New Orleans, was considerably less than comfortable after his first practice session at Augusta.
He has calcium deposits and a bone spur on one of his toes. It sometimes slips out of joint, as it did in New Orleans.
"It's like somebody is sticking a knife in there," Crenshaw said. "And being where it is, I can't push off on the swing."
Crenshaw said the problem was the result of a burst of temper after he 3-putted in the Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas, 16 years ago. He kicked a trash container and damaged the toe.
"I'm going to have to have surgery, but I'm going to try to put it off until the end of the season," he said. "After the surgery, there's going to be a rehabilitation period that will take months."
Orlando star guard suffers dehydration
Hardaway questionable for tomorrow's game
The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Anfernee Hardayd, light-headed and dehydrated, was admitted to the hospital Sunday and missed the Orlando Magic's game with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Magic said the condition of the star guard wasn't believed to be serious. He checked into Centinela Hospital and was to be released at 9 p.m. Sunday.
"He had a bad sore throat, so he was having a hard time swallowing." Magic representative Lori Hamamoto said shortly before the
game at the Forum.
"He came to the shootaround this morning, he got light-headed, and the trainer took him to (the hospital). ... We leave tomorrow at 8:30, he'll be on the plane. He's been diagnosed as having dehydration. He should be fine."
Hamamoto said she didn't know if Hardaway would play in Orlando's next game, at home tomorrow night against Detroit.
Brooks Thompson replaced Hardaway in the lineup Sunday night. The Magic also played without reserve guard Brian Shaw, who has a strained left groin.
Hardaway, an All-Star in his second season, is averaging 21.2 points and 6.8 assists. He had missed only one game previously this season.
Major leaguers prepare to open season
Spring training begins as players return to camp

STRIKE
Ryan Klesko went to batting practice, Mike Greenwell had a game of catch, and Lou Whitaker motored to work in his Rolls Royce. Spring training opened yesterday as the first major leaguers rolled into camp.
TV, I'd turn the channel."
Rowland said he had been doing everything possible to get ready.
"It might take fans a little while to get over their crushed feelings," said the veteran Whitaker. "It's just like a man and a woman. Maybe we'll send a few flowers."
"But I was running out of things to do," he said.
With a break in the sevenmonth-old strike, opening day has been rescheduled for April 26, at which time major league players will begin an abbreviated, 144-game season.
Klesko was the first of the Atlanta Braves to return to camp at West Palm Beach, Fla., showing up at about 10 a.m. despite a persistent flu bug.
No sooner had the replacement players vacated than major leaguers began arriving at camps for three weeks of training.
"It's good to be back, but I'd still like to see an agreement that says we will play the whole year. I'd hate to see this happen again."

"It's good to be back, but I'd still like to see an agreement that says we will play the whole year. I'd hate to see this happen again," said the left-fielder, who hit. 278 with 17 home runs and 47 RBIs last season.
"I was ready to play baseball six or seven weeks ago," Greenwell said, "so it was a funny feeling for all of us. I had had trouble just driving by the ballpark. Whenever I saw the scores on
Klesko checked into a scene at camp that showed just how unusual this spring training promises to be. The major league clubhouse was locked, manager Bobby Cox was nowhere in sight and the Braves' offices were quiet.
Klesko, who dropped off much of his equipment and then greeted some of the minor league coaches, said most of his teammates would wait until tomorrow to arrive.
He made the drive from nearby Delray Beach, Fla.
REACTION
Fans ready to strike now that the players have ended theirs
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — While major league players are back, some fans say they'll stay home.
The Baltimore-based group Fan Out America said today that members plan to stage a nationwide boycott. The group is encouraging fans not to attend the first seven days of regular season play to punish players and owners for what the group described as taking fan loyalty for granted and threatening local economies by their disputes.
The group still hopes to recruit volunteers to carry out the boycott.
The effort is led by Ed Bunker, 30, a state health department worker who has organized his group through the Internet, where he has plotted strategy and talked to other disgruntled fans.
Fans have responded via electronic mail from across the nation and even as far away as Canada, Britain and New Zealand. Petition drives have been organized supporting the boycott in California, Florida, Maryland and New York.
Detroit's manager back after hiatus
Major leaguers return and so does the Tigers' defiant Sparky Anderson
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Sparky Anderson will return to manage the Detroit Tigers, ending a suspension that started when he refused to handle the replacement players, the club said yesterday.
Tigers president John McHale said in a written statement that Anderson would report today to Lakeland, Fla., as major leaguers return for their first workouts of the year. The players have been on strike since August.
Interim Tigers manager Tom Runnells will return to his job as manager of the Toledo Mud Hens, Tigers general manager Joe Klein said. Runnells was given the job this year, but was asked to step up in Anderson's absence.
"The entire Tiger organization wishes to thank Tom Runnells for the loyalty, diligence and skill he demonstrated in this situation," McHale said.
Anderson has been on unpaid leave since Feb. 17, when he said he wouldn't manage replacement players.
He returned to his home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and has been there throughout the replacements'
spring training.
Reportedly, the way was paved for Anderson's return when he and McHale talked on the phone Saturday.
When Anderson left Florida, the Tigers did not guarantee he'd have a job when the strike ended, although McHale called his return likely.
Spring training will begin officially tomorrow.
Anderson, scheduled to make more than $1 million this season, said Sunday he thought he still had a job.
"I'm very, very happy about it," he told WDIV television after yesterday's announcement.
"After you're out of it for a while, the Peter Principle works with you very strongly. You're out of your element. You have to get to your element, where it doesn't take a lot of brains, it just takes a lot of enthusiasm."
"I feel sorry for some of those replacement players," Runnells said. "I came to respect them so much during the six weeks we spent together in Florida."
Anderson, 61, has managed the Tigers since early in the 1979 season. This is the final year in his current contract.
He said he had no commitments beyond this season. He is the fourth-winningest manager in major league history.
