A's defeat of Royals douses pennant hopes The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Ruben Sierra had three hits and three RBIs, and Scott Hendon singled four times and scored three runs last night as the Oakland Athletics defeated the Kansas City Royals 9-6. Kelly Downs, 5-9, pitched four innings of two-hit relief to pick up the victory. The Royals have lost three straight and six of their last $ _{14} $ eight to drop out of contention in the AL West. With the game tied 6-6 in the sixth hining, the Athletics mounted a go-ahead rally off Mark Gubicae, 4-8. Hemond had his third single of the game, went to second on Kurt Abbott's groundout and to third on Mike Bordick's single. He scored on Sierra's sacrifice fly to deep center. Hemond, whose four hits all went to the opposite field in right, singled again in the seventh to set up Kurt Abbott's infield RBI single for an Oakland insurance run and an 8-6 lead. Sierra scored the ninth run with a homer in the ninth. It was his 20th. Gary Gaetti, George Brett and Bob Hamelin hit home runs for Kansas City. The Athletics rallied from a 5-2 deficit and scored four times in the fifth off Royals starter Dennis Rasmussen. Mike Bordick and Brent Gates each hit RBI doubles, and Sierra added a run-scoring single. Rasmussen's wild pitch scored Bordick from third with another run. The Royals tied it back up with a run in their half of the sixth on Hamelin's first major league home run. Gretzky to sign for $25.5 million Notes: Before the game, Athletics general manager Sandy Alderson said first baseman Mark McGwire will undergo surgery next week to repair torn tissue in his left heel. **The Royals are** 33-32 since the All-Star break, and 44-42 before it. **The Royals have lost nine of their last 11 games at the Oakland Coliseum.** 'Great One' to become highest-paid player in NHL with new deal The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Wayne Gretzky has agreed to sign a three-year $25.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Kings, making him the highest-paid player in the National Hockey League, team officials said yesterday. Team spokesman Scott Carmichael said the deal was completed yesterday afternoon. Gretzky is expected to sign in the next few days. "With the contract, Wayne has made a commitment to dedicate the next three years toward bringing the Stanley Cup to the fans of Los Angeles," McNall said. Gretzky, 32, the NHL's all-time leading scorer, will earn $8.5 million a season, said Kings owner Bruce McNall. That is more than double his current $3 million annual salary. The new three-year deal supersedes the 10-year contract Gretzky signed when he joined the team in August 1988. Carmichael said Gretzky would be paid $4 million this year, and receive another $4.5 million in a deferred payment at a later date. Gretzky is entering his sixth season with the Kings and his 15th in the NHL. Gretzky is just 36 goals short of Gordie Howe's all-time record of 801, a level once thought untouchable. McNall said the deal recognized Gretzky's contributions to the Kings and the sport of hockey. The announcement ended months of speculation about Gretzkv's salary. "Wayne has been a true ambassador for the sport of hockey, not only here in Southern California, but all across North America," McNail said. "It is only fitting that he reap the benefits for such hard work, both on and off the ice." McNall said the new contract was not a typical player agreement. The NHL's next highest-paid player is the Pittsburgh Penguins' Mario Lemieux, who earns about $6 million a year in a 7-year contract. Other top earners include the Montreal's Patrick Roy, who signed a new contract last week for $4 million a year, and Philadelphia's Eric Lindros, who earns $3.5 million a year. Sports salaries Wayne Gretzel became the highest-paid NHL player and makes more than anyone in professional football or baseball.

"At the same time, I had made a promise to both Wayne and Walter (Gretzky's father) that he would always be the highest-paid player in hockey as long as he was a member of the Los Angeles Kings." Fan-on-field protest by Red Sox denied The Associated Press NEW YORK — American League president Bobby Brown yesterday denied the Red Sox' protest of Saturday's loss against the New York Yankees in which a fan ran on the field in the ninth inning. Brown said Boston manager Butch Hobson did not protest in time. Brown, citing AL regulation 3.13, said a protest must be filed with the umpire-in-chief by the manager at the time of the dispute and before the next pitched ball. Boston appeared to have won 3-1 when Mike Stanley filed out. But third-base umpire Tim Welke had called time when he saw a young fan run on the field and said it was before the pitch was delivered. Stanley, given a second chance, singled, as did Wade Boggs. Dion James then walked and Don Mattingly's single gave New York a 4-3 victory.
