Three Bo blasts ignite Royals
But Jackson injures shoulder trying to catch Sanders' home run
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Although Deion Sanders has never被 knocked Bo Jackson on a football field, he KO'd him on a baseball field last night. And it cost Jackson the chance to tie the record of record four home runs in a game.
"That's the best performance I've ever seen by an individual in a major-league game," Royals manager John Wathan said.
Jackson homered his first three times up in Kansas City's 10-7 victory over the New York Yankees. But he partially dislocated his left shoulder trying to catch Sanders' inside-the-park home run.
Jackson hit two-run home runs in the first and third innings off Hawkins (1-8) and hit a three-run shot off Hawkins in the fifth. The third home run gave Jackson 19 for the season and 100 for his career.
But he never got an opportunity to tie the record. Sanders' hit rolled to the wall to pull New York to 8-7, clearly frustrated, had come.
"I was sorry," Sanders said. "I'm just hoping he wasn't hurt. I wanted to see him come up and blight again."
"I think he'll be able to play in a few days," Wathan said. "That's my hope. Usually what happens in this case is you're out a couple of days. You have some soreness and then you can play."
Jackson was taken to Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center to have the shoulder X-rayed. Wathan said the Royale believed it was a subxiaurea, a partial dislocation in which the bone out of the joint and nose back in.
"The X-rays were perfectly normal," Royals assistant trainer Nick Schwartz said. "He's stiff and sore
Wathan, like the fans, was disappointed Jackson didn't have a chance to bat again.
now and he'll be that way for a while. But he's day-to-day and could be in back a few days."
"I think he would have electrified Yankee Stadium just coming up to the plate a fourth time," Wathan said.
Sanders, who also plays defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons, has been a rival of Jackson, who is a running back for the Los Angeles Raiders. The two haven't met in a football game since 1985, when Jackson's Auburn team played Sanders' Florida State.
"He ran all through us, over me and evervbody." Sanders said.
Jackson's first two home runs were monster shots. He followed George Brett's first-inning walk with a 4-12 foot drive over the center-field wall.

LeMond advancing in Tour de France
The Associated Press
LUZ ARIDEND, France — The yellow jersey of the leader seems to be all that separates American Greg Burke from the victorious victory in the Tour de France.
And that seems to be just a matter of time — five seconds to be exact.
Up and down the hills of yesterday's mountaintous 16th stage, LeMend pulled into second place and within easy striking distance of overall leader Claudio Chiappucci of Italy and established himself as the clear favorite with five stages left in the three-week race.
LeMond did not mind at all being second by seconds.
"It's very good that I didn't get the 'tell yours jersey today,' he said. "Chapucci still has the pressure behind me. I am only five seconds behind."
LeMood finished second in yesterday's 133% mile leg from Blagasc to Luz Aridien, six seconds behind Spain's Miguel Indurain.
Chiappucci, the leader since the 12th stage, struggled across in 14th place for the stage, 2.25 behind indurain and 2.19 behind LeMond. That allowed Chiappucci to cling to the yellow jersey.
LeMond showed that he may be capable of erasing that lead whenever he wants. He pulled away over the final 4.2 miles up the last hill with Indurain and Marino Lejarreta of Spain.
Chiappaccii headed the pack during the first half of the final climb, as others waited to see if the Italian could last.
Lejarreta was left behind with 1.2 miles to go up the 5,600-foot mountain.
Athletes' conduct concerns NCAA
Bv Ann Sommerlath

Nebraska was chosen along with 46 schools from 28 other conferences because it represented a cross-section of size, location, philosophy and conference affiliation.
The concern for the off-field conduct of athletes has prompted the NCAA to launch an 18-month pilot program to develop a national standard for the certification of athletic programs. Nebraska was the only Big Eight school selected for the project.
The program, aimed for consideration by the 1993 NCAA convention, would include the conduct of athletes as one of many criteria. The NCAA developed this exami- tion by assigning athletes after becoming aware of documented instances of misconduct by athletes.
Don Brynt, assistant athletic director at Nebraska, said that the program was aimed at more than just monitoring the athletes' off-
"The underlying reason for the program is to make institutions look at themselves to see if they are meeting the NCAA criteria."<sup>1</sup> They are trying to yourself to see how well you're complying with NCAA standards.
Bob Frederick, KU athletic director, said Kansas was participating in a similar institutional program enacted by the NCAA in 1985.
ful in conjunction with long-range goals." Fredrick said. "It forces you to take a good look at every aspect of your operation."
"The self-study program is help-
Frederick said that although the new program offered a broad institutional perspective, it did not eliminate the problems.
"People create the problems if they're not following the guidelines," Frederick said. "But from a philosophical standpoint his program is very helpful."
The current pilot program is part of the reform movement advocated by NCAA Executive Director Dick Scalia. Under this direction, the goal of mindfulness should be handled by individual colleges and universities.
Registration soars for Games
By Ann Sommerlath

When fewer people than expected registered early for the first Sunflower State Games, officials began to worry that the Games would not
But new figures indicate participation may surpass the original goal.
Craig White, director of the event, said he originally gave a maximum estimate of 2,500 participants for the Games' innumerable year.
As of Friday, about 1,300 participants had registered. By Monday morning, registration figures for the spring season in July 27, had soared to about 2,000.
The Games are a multi-sport, Olympic-style competition. They are open to amateur Kansas athletes of all ages. The Games will end July 29
what we have now and to reach 8,000 to 10,000 participants in three years," White said Friday.
'By next year, we expect to double
More than 40 states participate in the national State Games program. The Governor's Council on Fitness established the Sunflower State Games this year. The Council was patterned after the President's Council on Fitness established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Nineteen events are scheduled for the Games, including events for disabled participants and special Olympians.
White said that registration in individual sports was higher than expected but that registration in football and softball and volleyball was lower.
He said the basketball and soccer events had attracted about as many people as he had anticipated.
The registration deadline for most sports was July 6, but some individual sports such as bicycling, trap shooting, the 10-kilometer road race, the triathlon and weightlifting will accept on-site registration.
Athletes participating in the Games were given the option to stay in a residence hall, said Kathy Nace, a graduate student at the department of student housing.
"But very few elected to use that option," she said. "Most people participating in the Games are within driving distance."
Nace said that as of Monday, 12 people had signed up to stay in Oliver Hall during the Games.
Alcohol ad warnings could end sponsorships
The Games are designed to develop physical and competitive abilities and generate public and private support for amateur athletics, White said.

WASHINGTON — The beer industry said yesterday that beer producers may drop sponsorship of major sports if Congress requires new health warnings to accompany any advertising for alcoholic beverages.
The Beer Institute also said poll results showed a majority of Americans don't think the warnings will curb alcohol abuse.
Bracing for a House hearing today, the Beer Institute launched an argument against legislation that would require an expansion of warnings, now required on beer cans and bottles, to also be carried on advertising.
He said if the bill passed, he expected that beer companies would withdraw advertising that underwrites sports events or television coverage of the sports because ads no longer would be effective.
"The American people want real solutions, not gimmicks, to address the problems of alcohol abuse." James C. Sanders, president of the Beer Institute, said at a news conference in the Capitol.
Bod Sold, owner of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, said in a written statement that Miller Brewing Co.'s television advertising is worth millions of dollars to the team and would be difficult to replace. He said more than 70 pro sports teams have beer sponsors.
"Passage of this legislation could
spell the end of family entertainment across the country," he said.
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy, D-Mass, and Sen. Albert Gore, D-Tenn. It would require all ads for alcoholic beverages to include one of five safety warnings.
The warnings include messages that drinking during pregnancy may cause birth defects, that drinking and smoking are risk factors that drinking may addictive.
Backers of the bill say television and other types of ads glamorize alcohol use and encourage drinking.
Pat Taylor, director of alcohol policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said there was no evidence the ad warnings would bring an end to sports sponsorship. She said the bill does not limit sports sponsorship by beer or other alcohol products.
"Clearly there is a velled threat here," she said. "It's impossible for me to imagine the alcohol industry in my country advertising it this bill goes into effect."
"Their undertaking this kind of campaign indicates the bill . . . will probably be an effective part of what they are doing to control the alcohol problem," she said.
Taylor dismissed the beer industry's poll as an attempt to counter earlier polls suggesting different findings.
