By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week L ' et's say it once and for all: There's a lot more to this Nemechek guy than just "Front Row Joe." Joe Nemechek was, is and probably always will be a dazzling qualifier. but to some, the "Front Row Joe" moniker suggests that Nemechek doesn't do as well on race day. , How unfair ... and how untrue. Nemechek's victory in Saturday night's Pontiac Excitement 400 at Richmond International Raceway was his third. He's also won six poles in his career. He was champion of the Busch Series in 1992. He's 'a fine driver who, at 39, may be just entering his prime. "When you get a car that'll go that good- high, low, wherever you want it to go- it's fun," Nemechek said after winning at Richmond. "We've been so close to winning and here we are. "We've been trying to get into victory lane, and I think this is just one of many to come." The Chevrolet Nemechekdrives, Hendrick Motorsports' No. 25, has been kind of the underachiever of the multicar team, which also includes · four-time champion Jeff Gordon, two· time champion Terry Labonte and young up-and-comer Jimmie Johnson. "This car has definitely had some tough times," Nemechek said, "but it's back. Papa Joe Hendrick, Rick Hen. drick and John Hendrick all believed • in me and gave me the job to come drive this thing. I knew I could get . them back in victory lane. It was just a matter of time. We've got all the right pieces to the puzzle now and I think you're going to see more." From 1992 until Nemechek's victo· ry, the No. 25 won only one race. "We were really struggling when I first went down there," Nemechek said. "We brought Peter (Sospenzo, the crew chief) on board and we worked really hard on the aero( dynamics) to where I liked it. It's just a matter of time to get people used to working to· gether and to get that chemistry going. Peter made a few changes in the shop and got the people lined up, and all of a sudden, we were there. We were contenders." "Joe and I have both gone through same tough times in our careers," Sospenzo said. "Maybe it was just des· tiny that we've ended up together because it's really working well. Joe had a lot to prove from a driver's standpoint, and I had a Jot to prove from a crew chief's standpoint. "When you get two guys who want to prove they're worthy of where they are in the business, you get the kind of results we're starting to se~ now." .

Bob Taft who helped Ohio Department of Transportation Director Gordon Proctor and ODOT's District 10 break ground for the new $46 million Pomeroy/Mason Bridge Friday morning, before a crowd of Meigs and Mason county officials and the. general public. Taft said the bridge is a symbol of "unprecedented progress" in building new transportation infrastructure in Meigs County, designed to increase safeTaft ty and economic development potential of the region. · .. "Ohio is celebrating its Bicentennial. This bridge isn't quite as old as Ohio, but it's close enough," Taft said of the existing Pomeroy/Mason Bridge, built in the 1920s. "The new bridge has been designed with aesthetically pleasing features, making it a landmark for this community. "The new bridge is also a strong symbol of the partnership between Ohio and West Virginia," Taft said. Taft said the new bridge is part of $200 million in new highway projects now underway in Meigs County. "As these proje~ts are completed - this new bridge, the Ravenswood Connector and the new portion of U.S. 33 between Darwin and Athens - U.S. 33 will become the fastest, safest route between Columbus and Charleston.

News editor RIO GRANDE, Ohio More than a decade ago, Gall ia County farmer and entrepreneur Bob Evans went. to the Ohio Board of Regents with a modest proposal: Study the need for more youth in Appalachian Ohio counties to attend college.

TIRID OF JUST HAVING AJOB? LOOKING FOR NIW CARIIR? Labor Department cites state's 'failure' to help youths find jobs BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio The federal government is fining Ohio about $1 million over what it calls the state's failure to ·help more youths find jobs. . The state is appealing the fine, which came despite a plea by Gov. Bob Taft to U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao for more time. The $933,086 is about 2 percent of the state's annual allotment from Workforce Investment Act for youth programs. One program helps teenagers find jobs or pre ~ pare for a career. Another helps people ages 19-21 get advanced job trai.nirig or take college classes. The Department of Labor said Ohio failed to meet performance goals in three qf four categories. For example, only 8.6 percent of participating · teens under 18 got diplomas in 2000, while the goal was 55 percent. ~aturbap Wonderful opportunities are available in Tom Peden Country.

The state will launch a new, federally certified program in July that will provide correct statistics, Hayes said. The state also made progress from 2000 to 200 I in helping youths, a factor the federal government said in February it would consider in determining any fine. "If we're making progress, why are we being sanctioned?" Hayes said. Taft, a Republican, wrote Chao April 30 asking for time to put the new system in place. Once that system is running, "we will know if Ohio's low performance is due to a lack of effort or, as I believe , a lack of reporting," Taft wrote . "Either way; you will have better information to base your decisions about sanctions." IllS. will be scrveJ. Ga me' are planned and Lloor pri;c' wil l be given .

Reservists face specter of losing health,benefits • The Intelligencer of Wheeling, W.Va.: Reservists now make up about half o(the U.S. military, which means that they are more likely to be called to active duty for extended peri· ods of time as reserves are used not only in combat roles but also to carry out day-to-day military activities. Since the Sept. II atta~ks , some reservists have spent more time on active duty than they have in civilian life. This fact creates a number of unintended consequences, not least of which are faltering job security and loss of employer-based health benefits. The force needs of war in Iraq have underscored these problems. In the long run, the military may need to increase its contingent of full-time forces. Meanwhile, however, the gov. ernment should take steps to mitigate the financial cosis for reservists who are getting far more active duty than they bargained for. A good place to start is health insurance. Currently reservists have two choices upon being called to active duty: Join the military health plan, or exercise their COBRA rights to continue employer-based coverage and pay typically high COBRA continuation premiums. Neither is a particularly good option. The military's plan only coversactive"duty personnel, so when reservists are deactivated they have to scramble to find insurance. And the financial sacrifices of leaving a job for active duty often render COBRA benefits unaffordable. Many reservists have families, so the loss of insurance is no small thing. , Federal agencies already have been ordered to continue paying health insurance premiums for their employees called to active duty. Now some members of Congress propose to have the federal government also pay for expensive COBRA benefits for all reservists. . The sentiment is right on target, but ihe unintended ecoilomic consequences of underwriting COBRA benefits could be large. A federal subsidy would tend to encourage selection gf a somewhat richer health benefit, for example. A much less expensive way to ensure continuing health coverage would be to simply guarantee coverage under the military's health plan until a reservist has returned to full-time civilian employment and is once again eligible for private coverage. .

(AP) OUR READERS' VIEWS Not served Dear Editor: I am writing about a complaint, which is that I signed a warrant on a subject for ripping my radio antenna from my vehicle. I pursued the proper action, which is signing a warrant and going through Mayor's Court. During Mayor's Coun, I was not allowed to be in the coun, or to speak a word on my behalf, so the subject went without a fine or restitution. If that be so, the ordinances which protect the citizens of Middleport were not followed or upheld, so does that give vigilantes the right pursue their methods? And why is there Mayor's Court or a village police? Justice is supposed to be fair. This is a concern of mine, and should be to every other village resident. The law is the law.

The night the all -white prom happened, May 2, I sent a producer and camera crew to interview the all- Bill ·O'Reilly white partygoers·. Guess what? None of them would talk to us.

But the students did express themselves if) another ,w ay- they made a wide variety of obscene gestures in front of the camera: Now, this white prom nonsense is a small story on the landscape of America. But what 1s not a small story is the way the powers that be in Georgia reacted. The principal of Taylor High, Bonnie Branan, would not comment publicly. The superintendent of schools, Wayqe Smith, told me the prom was legal and that's that. Antllhe governor of Georgta; Sonny Perdue, sent his press secretary out to say he was "disappointed" in the event. But Perdue would not answer questipns or condemn the prom. His spokeswoman says he is too busy. In reality. he is hiding. So if I'm a 17-year-old ·black student, I am getting the message. Nobody in power is on my side. Nobody is willing to state that a segregated school event in the year 2003 is · unacceptable behavior. Nobody really cares. Stunningly, some people criticized me for even talking about the story. The rationalizations came so fast I thought I was playing goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers. "Blacks have private event s, too." "How dare you criticize the governor, he doesn 't answer to you ." ''You are anti-South!" The . issue, of course , was never addressed.

WASHINGTON (AP) Stabilizing and rebuilding Iraq could keep American military forces in the country for more than a year, the defense secretary and top U.S . commander in Iraq said Friday. · Gen . Tommy Franks, who ran the war in .Iraq, said it is unclear how large an American force would be required for postwar occupation or how long it would have to stay. He suggested it could be years. "What the future will hold a year, two, three ahead of us is not exactly knowable," Franks said at a Pentagon news conference with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. "Anyone who thinks they know how long it's going to take is fooling themselves," Rumsfeld added. He said the U.S. wjll keep "any number of troops that are appropriate and necessary" in Iraq for as long as needed to provide security for reconstruction. Shortly before Rumsfeld spoke , the United States and Its allies took their postwar plan to the United Nations and asked the Security Council to' approve a resolution lifting sanctions on Iraq and turning over its oil revenue to coalition control. The U.S. plan envisions the United States and Britain running the country for at least a year and probably much longer. A 12- month initial authorization for the U.S . and British authority would be renewed automatically unless the Security Council decided otherwise. Rumsfeld referred to the authorization timeline as "just a review period," not a deadline or estimate for the oc~u­ pation 's length. Some rebuilding tasks in Iraq already are taking longer than Pentagon officials hoped. Electricity has been restored to only about half of Baghdad no improvement from when Rumsfeld vi sited a ·power plant in the Iraqi capital April 30. Maj . Gen . Buford Blount Ill , commander of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division, said last week he hoped units of the division could begin leaving Iraq by mid-May. Pentagon officials said Friday the division - the main U.S. military force in Baghdad probably won't be able to begin leaving until the end of this month or mid-June.

Mason county Airport Free Airplane Rides BEIJING (AP) - The spread of SARS appeared to be slowing in Beijing, but the next leader of the World Health Organization said Friday it was too early to say whether the disease had peaked there yet. Even so, authoritie s in hard-hit Beijing said 80.000 students will gather in the Chinese capital next month for college entrance examinations. City officials also lifted quarantines on six hospital s, two residential communities and four construction sites where SARS cases had been discovered. More than 18,600 people suspected of having come into contact with SARS patients remained under isolation. "The epidemic shows signs of declining ," said Liang Wannian, deputy directorgeneral of Beijing's the city Health Bureau. China announced six more fatalities and 118 new cases - two of the deaths and 48 of the new cases in Beijing. Earlier, a senior Beijing official said new SARS hospital admissions had fallen from a peak of 70 to 80 per day last month to an average of 30 to 40 per day over the past week. Meeting with officials in Beijing, WHO's next leader, Dr. Jong-wook Lee , wouldn 't say whether Beijing's epidemic might soon pass. "It 's too early to say whether it's peaked or not peaked, so we have to wait," said Lee, a South Korean set to become WHO directorgeneral in July. Chinese Vice Premier Wu Y~ appointed last month to replace the country's health minister, was quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency as telling Lee that cooperation with the WHO had been "fruitful." ''China's victory over SARS, the common en):my of mankind, would be a contribution to the world," Wu was quoted saying.

George Kabay shakes his head as bikers roar past the antique shops and 200-yearold inn, blotting out both quiet conversation and, briefly, the power of concentration. "Warm weather brings two things," he said. "Mosquitos and motorcycles." People · who live along National Road are used to that A~ seasons change for the better, many drivers bypass the convenience of the mterstates for a more leisurely drive through history along what is formally known as U.S. 40. · This weekend, the Federal Highway Administration and the six-state National Road Alliance are launching a campaign to get even more people traveling the 800-mile stretch from Baltimore to Vandalia, Ill. · Last year, the highway was named an All-American Road, the highest designation in. the· federal scenic byway program. This summer, the six states it passes through will hand out new road maps to travelers looking for a weekend - or weeklorig - drive . . · But Kabay's wife, Carol, is unimpressed with the designation. "What's it going to do? Other than put up more signs," she said. "What the government ought to do is put more State Police out here and ticket the coal trucks. There's a lot of traffic and it goes too fast" People who travel the road May 15-18 may have no choice but to slow down. They will have to make way for a caravan of Conestoga wagons, filled with history buffs making the trip along the two-lane road. National Road was America's fin;t federally funded interstate highway, au'thorized by Thomas Jefferson in 1806 and begun in Cumberland, Md .. in 181!. That connected it to an existing road from Baltimore, now · considered the official staning point The road reached Wheeling, W.Va., by 1818, but the stretch to western Illinois wasn't finished until 1840. In Uniontown, Pa, National Road is freshly paved and llllllted with white pylons counting the distance between towns. It meanders past Searight's Toll House, . where farmers driving cattle once paid for passage, then winds through roUing farmland and crosses the Monongahela River at Brownsville. It brushes by the golf course at the ritzy Nemacolin Woodlands re~on. and beyond Washington, Pa., parallels Interstate 70 for much of its remaining length . But heading west through a series of small, unremarkable towns in West Virginia and cutting through the middle of Ohio, eye-catching scenery becomes less frequent. "It's a shame because we have a lot of ·history, but there's nothing truly historic about what is there," said Warren McKeen, president of National Road Alliance of West Virginia. "It's the simple urbanization of the area. So much was lost." Until the 1960s, when the interstates were built, U.S. 40 was the main truck route and evolved with the times. Today, it often dissolves into larger roads, then reappears. Still, highway officials say it's a road worth saving and studying. . As the first road to open up the territories west of the Soldier from Ohio killed in Baghdad The Wheeling Suspension Bridge. connecting Wheeling, W.Va., and Wheeling Island, was built in the 1840s and is part of the National Road scenic byway. (AP) Alleghenies, it's also called "the road that built the natien." National Road is one of only 21 All-American Roads, which are considered "destinations in themselves," said Ken Ferguson, byway coordinator for West Virginia's Division of Highways. 'This means people might want to go just to visit the road rather than just use it to get someplace." Not that it's lacking in sightseeing opportunities. Maryland's stretch is an antique-hunter's dream with the historic town of New Market, a museum laden with Civil War relics in Boonsboro and "the C&O Canal Nationa! Historic Park in Cumberland. Pennsylvania offers Fort Necessity National Battlefield, site of the ftrst conflict of the French & Indian War. The park has 48 structures, including taverns and inns, that date to the early 1800s. In West Virginia, the main attraction is the suspension bridge over the Ohio River in Wheeling. Considered among the most significant examples of pre-Civil War engineering in the country, it was once the longest single-sRan and suspension structure in the world. While countless people travel National Road today, McKeen said, few realize what it is - a road that helped build a nation and define a people. "People today don 't realize how recent American history really is. If you ~o back seven generations, lndtans were still roaming the countryside," McKeen said. "It's remarkable that people came here fn the 1770s on pack animals, and five de.cades later you have a through-road from Cumberland," · he said. "Personally, for me, this was the frontier."

Point. ll TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - More than a dozen former players lined the walls . Bart Starr and Paul Bryant Jr. were at the front. For a day, at least, Alabama's football family set aside its troubles to embrace former quarterback Mike Shula as the Crimson Tide's third head coach in six months. The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula wanted to talk about national championships, not NCAA probation; the program's bright fut ure, not its gloomy recent history. "I felt like I had some unfinished business here," the longtime NFL assistant said, referring to his inability to win a Southeastern Conference or national championship as a player. "That's why I'm here." Shula also is here because Alabama twice was burned by rare forays outside the "family." Mike Price was fired without coaching a single game after reports surfaced of a night at a topless bar. His predecessor, Dennis Franchione, abruptly left for Texas A&M after two seasons. "He's not going to sleep one moment until he has everything in place," promised former Tide running back Bobby Humphrey, a Shula teammate. "He's just that type of guy." The task at hand isn't easy.

With some of the 8,894 fans chanting "Rocker, Rocker," the left- hander walked Bobby Higginson on a close 3-2 pitch. He also walked Dmitri Young on a 3-2 count "As you can see, I'm not in midseason form," Rocker said. " I need a little while longer to polish things up and get comfortable." He received a loud ovation when he was introduced and there were some boos when he was replaced by Lance Carter, "Rocker got the fans excited," Tampa Bay manager Lou Piniella .said. The former Atlanta, Cleveland and Texas reliever had been pitching at . Double-A Orlando, where he didn ' t allow a run in four innings over four appearances after signing a minor . league contract April 10. Rocker had 38 saves in 1999, helping the Braves reach the World Series. After that season, he made disparaging remarks about gays, minorities and others in a Sports Illustrated article. His career went into a tailspin after he was traded to C. leveland in June 2~1. He had a 6.66 ERA dunng an tnJurymarred season with Texas last season.

Meantime,.determined Emily Kayser refused to allow ailments to intertere with a victory march over Melissa Massini of WHS. Crisp · crossing sizzlers, and explosive net play kept Kayser in charge despite some ~ifty liners by Massini and PPHS gained another set 8-3 from the excellent effort. Then, the choice first doubles was a battle royale. Birchfield - Kayser put double-barreled ·determination to work against Keith - Handley in a superb match-up that went the limit. Back-andforth the score see-sawed, punctuated by powerful ground strokes, net play, and strategy both ways. With fans really into the nail-biter, the score came down to 77. WHS won the next game to get ever so close to the win, ,but the PPHS pair rallied with courageo us beauties in the tense crisis to knot it 8-8. In the equally exciting tie-break, trailing 3-4, things came alive for the Point duo. A sharp net cutter, a searing middle shot, and they were off to a four point run that captured the· tie-break 7-4 for the ecstatic win 9- 8. Time was tleeting, and WHS obligations were callin g the ho>t ladies , so Shah- Blair Matheny won their doubles match , along with Leah Eddy .. Pearson so the final count read 6- 1 for PPHS. The regular season ending win kept the local ladies glittering record unscathed at a perfect 9-0 that brings elation to everyone on, and off. the courts. The PPHS boys made it an equally joyous night with a fortunate 4-3 win in their limited encounters with the strong Yellow Jackets power hitters . . Three PPHS sw ingers were not on hand this night, but WHS also was short-handed with only three players present. Searing serves and blazing basel ine blasts propelled state ranked Casey Moser to ·a tourney-type topper against Kevin Walker, who stepped in for ailing number one si ng les player Samir Shah. Walker gave it a gutsy effort, returned many, and tried varied mategies, but Moser was ripping rockets from every. where and prevailed 8-0. At second singles, Drew Hussell was countering hard-hitting Cy Moser with sl ices, off-speed, and timely bullets in a very close conflict. Hussell got it going in the middle to surge into a 5-4 lead, but saw three consec utive games get away on heart-rending close misses and Moser finished it off with a solid finish for an 85 win in a we.ll -matched set. On the other singles court, Matt Williamson took on Joe Lima in a critical match that cou ld determine the team result. Playing with deadly placements and some sharp line blasts. William son took control early, stroked consistently, ran down Lima efforts and proceeded to bring the team victory in a solid 8-2 set. Colin Braley - Steven Deshuk combined talents to give Moser - Moser some tense times at first doubles. Good local returns and well placed ground strokes kept it. close most games. However, a couple crucial misses, and the robust power hitting of the Moser brothers conjured up an 8-2 win for WHS. Then, Williamson - Walker got a forfeit win at second doubles and Hussell David Rossi were awarded the same at third doubles, so the team count became a fortuitous 4-3 win for the persevering PPHS group who concluded their superb regular season with a 13-2 slate, falling only to SEOAL power Jackson in a pair of one-poi nt matches. It was an amazingly successful season for the scintillating PPHS teams, and now they head into th&t "second season." Monday, both teams leap into Regional qualifying at Wheeling in what is reputed to be the toughest WV Region. Some of the local swingers have deservedly received good seedings, and will strive diligently to reach that next level of State Tournament play. The two-day Regional is at the West Liberty College Courts. "It is such a joy to associate with these you ng ladies and young men, we are so proud of them, and hope the season goes on with some of them in State play," chimed the happy coaches. 10% Discount on your home delivered subscription!

The lawyer said he will ask on May Jl) for an order of attachment on anything that King pays to settle with Tyson, and on anyth ing the televi sion network> owe King. Lewis' lawyers filed a $385 million lawsu it agai nst Tyson and King on Thursday after Tyson backed out of a rematch against Lewis , Burstein said. Lewis knocked mit Tyson in the eighth round of June 8, 2002 , in Memphi s. · "Burstein apparently doesn't believe Lewis i-. a standalone attraction," said King's lawyer, Peter Fleming. "That seems to be why he wants a rematch with Ty-.on even though Lewis won." Fleming said Tyson was not represented at Friday\ hearing. Papers filed in Manhattan's State Supreme Court accuse Tyson of breach of contract, saying he fa il ed to fulfill the terms of a deal between him and Lewi 1. They charge King with interfering with lewi s' "prospective economic advantage" in dealing with Tyson. The lawsuit says King cost Lewis $10 mi llion by keep. ing Tyson otr a June 21 fight card as the "co-main eve nt " in Los Angeles, and another $25 million by stoppin)! Tyson from signing for an eventual rematch between the two lighters. Court papers say the same deal that would let Ty"m fight in a co-main event match on the June 21 card would have allowed him to fight two more bouts after that with Lewis getting a piece of the purses - and then m ~ct Lewis in a rematch. Lawyers- for Lewis said Tyson's manager. Shelly Finkel, and his attorney had agreed to the contract. but that Tyson refused to sign it once King started pursuing · him.

Ralph 's doctors have told me he can never work again. I am working , full time to keep us aOoat. Since Ralph is unable to contribute financial· ly to· our household now ·o r in the future, his friends have started asking him if he is afraid I'm going to leave him. They · assume that since he can' t work I won' t stand by him. Is this something that happens to men when they can't work? Do women leave their husbands for this reason? It certainly sounds uncaring and not " for b ette r or worse," which is the vow I took when I married him. Abby, Ralph has become increasingly insecure since his accident and he's worried that his friends are predicting something that I know isn't going to happen . How can I ease his mmd? NOT GOING ANYWHERE IN UTAH DEAR NOT: Tell him often how much you love him, how important he is in your life, and that you would be lost without him.

BY JO£ KAY Associated Press ' CINCINNATI - The more he threw; the more Jimmy Haynes realized he's not quite ready to return to the majors. The right-hander pitched {our innings Thursday night for the Cincinnati Reds' Triple-A team in Louisville, and quickly found out that he's got some work to do. Haynes has been on the disabled list since April 17 with a sore back. He also had a severe cold this week that sapped his strength. He was hoping . to make one start in the minors, then return to the rotation . It's going to take a little longer than he'd hoped. He faded as he went along Thursday, giving . up four runs on seven hits in four innings of a 4-1 loss to the Phillies' Triple~ A team. ''I just 'ran out of gas," Haynes said Friday. "I hadn't done anything in three weeks, so it was to be expected. My legs j~st gave out." His back felt fine, which was the most encouraging part of the night. He'll probably make one more start for Louis.ville next week before the Reds consider activating him. "He threw well in . the first couple of innings, then he got tired, which was kind of expected," manager Bob Boone said. "The first two innings, into the third inning, he was good. He just wasn't in shape for it." • CASEY FINALLY GETS KLINE: Sean Casey had a personally important footnote to Thursday's 8-6 win over the Cardinals. · ·. With Casey on deck and two runners aboard in the sixth inning, manager Tony La Russa went to the mound and called for lefthanded reliever Steve Kline. Casey wasn't the least surprised. He was 0-for-17 career against Kline . "I knew that," Casey said Friday, laughing. "That's why I was on deck saying to myself, 'I'm not facing Steve Kline.' "Every time people ask me who's my toughest pitcher to face, they expect me to ~ay Randy Johnson. I say it's Steve Kline." · He broke the streak by lining a single to "I just ran out of gas. I hadn't done anything in three weeks, so it was to be expected. My legs just gave out:' -Jimmy Haynee right field, one of the key hits in a four-run rally. After the breakthrough hit, he still c~uldn'l expla-in why he's had so many, problems against Kline. ·"I think he started getting into my head about eight at-bats ago," Casey said. Casey also had a homer off Garrett Stephenson that snapped an 0-for-22 streak at Great American Ball Park, something that the first baseman considers a fluke. "I don 't know if sometimes I try harder at home or what," said Casey, who' s hitting .415 on the road. "I can't think that's going to last the· whole year." • GUILLEN ~GAIN: Outfielder Jose Guillen was in the starting lineup for the 15th consecutive game Friday, a sign of the way he has emerged since Ken Griffey Jr. dislocated his shoulder on April 5. ' Guillen was promoted from Louisville when Griffey got hurt, and earned a spot by hitting safely in II straight games, leading the Reds ' resurgence. "Over this run, Guillen has been our MVP," shortstop Barry Larkin said. "He's a Greg Vauglm type of guy. He's going to fight for everything. He plays with a lot of · passion. He's hungry.'' • HOMER HISTORY: The Reds are one of only five teams in baseball history to have three players reach double-digits in homers during the first 35 games of a season. Austin Kearns, Adam Dunn and Aaron Boone have I0 or more. The Texas Rangers also have three players in double figures: Alex Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez and Carl Everett. The 1994 Colorado Rockies (Dante Bichette, Ellis Burks, Andres Galarraga), the 1970 Reds (Johnny Bench, Lee May, Tony Perez) and the 1964 Twins (Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall, Harmon Killebrew) also had three. · Heading into Friday's game, 56 homers had been hit at Great American Ball Park, the second-highest total in the majors. Fifty-nine were hit in the Rangers' park . The Reds led the National League with 54 homers and 303 strikeouts. un Celtics '·. 94-76 . . ' BOSTON (AP) - This year's Game 3 was nothing like last year's Game 3. On the same court where New Jersey set an NBA record by blowing a 21point fourth-quarter cushion, the Nets defeated the Boston Celtics 94-76 Friday night to . take a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. That's a deficit no NBA team has ever overcome. Kenyon Martin scored 25 points and Richard Jefferson added 20 on the floor where the Nets were on the wrong end of one of the biggest comebacks in playoff history. It was a victory that inspired the Celtics to celebrate wildly and jump atop the scorer's table, but it was followed by three Nets victories as they won the Eastern Conference finals 42. Game 4 of the best-ofseven matchup is Monday night in Boston. Not even the presence in the front ro'w of Danny Ainge, who was named the seltics' executive director of tiasketball operations before the game, helped. Paul Pierce, who scored 19 points in the fourth-quarter comeback last season, couldn't save the Celtics this time as the Nets led 76-56 going into the final quarter.
