evening at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. But on a good note
stakes racing is back next week, with the Stallion Series on Wednes-

two-year old trotting fillies are the attraction on both cards. So be
patient, better racing is upon us in the month of August.

CINCINNATI Lucas Duda
and Jason Bay each drove in
three runs with bases-loaded
doubles and the Mets held off
the reeling Reds for a 10-9
victory Thursday that gave
New York its first ever four-
game sweep in Cincinnati.
Wright went 3 for 5 to ex-
tend his hitting streak to seven
games (15 for 33, .455) since
coming off the disabled list on
July 22. He was 9 for 19 with
five RBIs in the series.
Chris Capuano (9-10)
snapped a three-start losing
streak for the Mets. He allowed
eight hits and six runs with
three walks and four strikeouts
in 5 1-3 innings. Jason Isring-
hausen earned his fourth save
despite allowing Joey Vottos
16th homer of the season lead-
ing off the ninth.
Homer Bailey (5-5) set a
single-game career high by
allowing nine earned runs. The
Mets collected 12 hits with two
walks and two strikeouts
against the right-hander.
Brewers 4, Cubs 2
MILWAUKEE Ryan Braun
had three hits, including a
home run, to lead Milwaukee
to its first sweep of Chicago at
home since May 2005.
The Cubs rode a three-game
win streak into Milwaukee but
struggled mightily at the plate
during the series, scoring just
four runs in three games.
Marlins 5, Nationals 2
WASHINGTON Mike
Stanton homered for the sec-
ond straight game and five
Marlins relievers held Washing-
ton to one run over 5 1-3 in-
nings as Florida completed a
three-game sweep.
The Marlins won their fifth
straight and improved to 14-5
since July 5.
Stanton hit his 24th homer
of the season and fourth in his
last six games. He has eight
home runs and 14 RBIs in 12
career games at Nationals Park
dating to 2010.
Padres 4, Diamondbacks 3
SAN DIEGO Jesus Guz-
man had two RBIs and rookie
Luis Martinez drove in the
go-ahead run as San Diego
avoided a three-game sweep
and won for the second time in
six games.
Martinez and Orlando Hud-
son each had an RBI single in
the sixth inning as the Padres
erased a 3-2 deficit. Daniel
Hudson contributed to Arizo-
nas troubles with two walks
and a hit batter in the inning.
Pirates 5, Braves 2
ATLANTA Andrew
McCutchen had three hits,
including a double in the fifth
inning that gave Pittsburgh the
lead and a two-run homer in
the ninth, and the Pirates beat
the Atlanta Braves 5-2 on
Thursday night for a split of
the four-game series.
McCutchen had been 1 for 11
in the series, which included
wins by the Braves in 19 and 10
innings, before meeting with
manager Clint Hurdle before
Thursdays game. Hurdle said
he asked McCutchen to com-
pare video of his swing from
recent games and when he was
having more success.
Astros 5, Cardinals 3
ST. LOUIS Wandy Rodri-
guez pitched seven innings and
retired the last 13 batters he
faced and Jason Bourgeois hit a
tiebreaking double in the fifth
inning to lead the Houston
Astros to a win over the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Rodriguez (7-7) allowed just
one earned run and five hits.
He walked Matt Holliday with
one out in the fourth before
settling into a groove.

The Assocaited Press
DETROIT Mark Trumbo

and scored three times in the
rookies fourth three-hit game.
Needing just a single for the
cycle, he grounded out leading
off the ninth inning.
Bobby Cassevah (1-0)
worked 2 1-3 scoreless innings
of relief for the win.
Trumbo hit a two-run homer
in the Angels three-run sec-
ond. He tripled in the fourth
and doubled in the seventh.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland
was ejected in the third for
arguing that a pitch had hit
Austin Jackson, and things got
hot in the fourth when Brad
Penny argued with catcher
Victor Martinez.
Royals 4, Red Sox 3
BOSTON Billy Butler hit
a three-run homer and Luke
Hochevar pitched seven strong
innings as Kansas City handed
Josh Beckett his first loss in
over a month.
Hochevar (7-8) allowed two
runs on six hits and a walk
while matching his season high
for strikeouts with six. He
retired 14 of the last 16 batters
he faced and gave up just one
extra-base hit, a third inning
double by Yamaico Navarro.
Rays 10, Athletics 8
OAKLAND, Calif. Des-
mond Jennings hit his first
career home run and later
added a two-run double in a
seven-run seventh inning as
Tampa Bay rallied from five
runs down.
B.J. Upton and Evan Longo-
ria also homered, helping make
a winner out of right-hander
Wade Davis (8-7), who strug-
gled early before settling down
to retire 17 straight batters.
Upton, the subject of ongoing
trade rumors, hit his team-
leading 16th home run after
sitting out one game.
Conor Jackson had a two-run
home run in the first inning
when the As hit for the cycle
with four consecutive batters.
Blue Jays 8, Orioles 5
TORONTO Edwin Encar-
nacion and Eric Thames hit
back-to-back home runs, Carlos
Villanueva won for the first
time in five starts and the
Toronto Blue Jays beat the
Baltimore Orioles.
Encarnacion went 3 for 4
with two RBIs and scored
twice for the Blue Jays, who
have won 27 of 31 home games
against Baltimore dating to
2008.
Rangers 4, Twins 1
ARLINGTON, Texas Matt
Harrison worked into the
eighth inning to cap his un-
beaten July for AL West-lead-
ing Texas and won a pitchers
duel against Minnesotas Scott
Baker in the Rangers victory.
Harrison (9-7) allowed one
run over 7 1-3 innings with two
strikeouts and a walk. The
left-hander won all three of his
decisions in his five starts this
month.
After Yoshinori Tateyama
and Arthur Rhodes retired the
only batters they faced, Neftali
Feliz rebounded from his two
earlier flops in the series with a
perfect ninth for his 21st save
in 26 chances.

LOS ANGELES Hideki Ira-
bu joined the New York Yankees
14 years ago in a swell of interna-
tional excitement. The quirky,
flamethrowing Japanese right-
hander seemed destined to be-
come a pioneering star for Amer-
ican baseballs marquee fran-
chise.
Irabuneverreachedthoseenor-
mousexpectations, andhiscareer
spiraled. On Wednesday, the 42-
year-old was found dead, an ap-
parent suicide in a home in Ran-
cho Palos Verdes, a wealthy Los
Angeles suburb.
He was a world-class pitcher,
said former major league manag-
er Bobby Valentine, who man-
aged Irabu in Japan in 1995.
When Nolan Ryan saw him, he
said he had never seen anything
like it. There were just some days
whenhewas as goodapitcher as I
hadever seen. Afabulous arm.
Los Angeles County coroners
official EdWinter saidhis officeis
investigatingIrabusdeathasasu-
icide, revealing no additional cir-
cumstances. An autopsy will be
performedFriday or Saturday.
IrabuwasbilledastheJapanese
version of Ryan when he arrived
in the United States in 1997, a
hard-throwing starter with a 98-
mph fastball who excelled as a
strikeout specialist an almost
unfair addition to the defending
WorldSeries champions.
After an impressive debut with
the Yankees that summer, he was
a disappointment to the Yankees
and himself during three seasons
in the Bronx. Instead, he was for-
ever tagged with a label fromlate
YankeesownerGeorgeSteinbren-
ner, who called hima fat ... toad
after Irabu failed to cover first
base during anexhibitiongame.
Irabu finished 34-35 with a 5.15
ERA in his tenure with the Yan-
kees, two years in Montreal and a
final season in the Texas bullpen
in 2002. He was a member of two
Yankees teams that won the
World Series, but his only post-
season action was a single relief
appearance in the 1999 AL cham-
pionship series when Boston
taggedhimfor13 hits.

tract with the Cardinals. Rodg-
ers-Cromartie, who went to the
Pro Bowl in 2009, will play oppo-
site four-time Pro Bowl corner-
back Asante Samuel in Philadel-
phia, shoring up a pass defense
that struggled last season.
All Washingtongot for Haynes-
worth, meanwhile, was a 2013
fifth-round pick. By shipping the
defensive tackle toNewEngland,
the Redskins rid themselves of a
two-year distraction and fiasco of
a free-agent signing Haynes-
worth was guaranteed a then-re-
cord $41 million in the seven-
year, $100 million contract he
signed in the early hours of free
agency in 2009. On the same day,
he infamously declared: Youre
not going to remember Albert
Haynesworth as a bust.
Hmmmmmm.
Haynesworth played in only 20
games for Washington, making
6
1
2 sacks, and was in constant le-
gal trouble away from the field.
Last season, he feuded with Sha-
nahan and was suspended for the
final four games for conduct det-
rimental to the club.
The Dolphins finalized their
trade for Bush by negotiating a
new two-year contract for nearly
$10 million with the running
back, a person familiar with the
talks told The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity be-
cause the teams had yet to an-
nounce the deal.
It wasnt immediately known
what the Saints would receive in
the deal.
Change is never easy but I
look forward to building some-
thing special in Miami and cant
wait to embark on this new jour-
ney! Bush wrote on Twitter.
In other transactions Thurs-
day:
Linebacker Clint Session left
the Colts but stayed in the AFC
South when he agreed to a five-
year deal with the Jacksonville
Jaguars worth slightly more than
$29 million, with $11.5 million in
guaranteed money.
Dallas made official nine
cuts, many of them leaked previ-
ously. Gone are tackle Marc Col-
ombo, guard Leonard Davis, re-
ceiver Roy Williams, running
back Marion Barber, placekicker
Kris Brown, offensive linemen
Robert Brewster and Travis
Bright, linebacker Kelvin Smith
and receiver Troy Bergeron.
Buffalo agreed to a four-year
contract worth about $15 million
with Brad Smith, the versatile re-
ceiver-running back-kick return-
er who was a force in the wildcat
formation with the Jets.
In addition to officially re-
leasing quarterback Delhomme,
Cleveland terminated the con-
tract of linebacker Eric Alexan-
der and waived tight end Tyson
DeVree. Delhomme, 36, was
signed to a two-year contract a
year ago and played in only five
games.
Atlanta agreed to a one-year
contract with linebacker Mike
Peterson, who started 13 games
last year with the Falcons, mak-
ing 79 tackles, two interceptions,
two fumble recoveries and forc-
ing one fumble.
Minnesota released starting
safety Madieu Williams, who
spent three seasons there but was
largely a disappointment after
signing a big-money deal tocome
over from Cincinnati in 2008. He
was due to make $5.4 million this
season.
The Vikings also released de-
fensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy
and receiver Freddie Brown.
The Redskins added free-
agent defensive end Stephen
Bowen, whose agent announced
the deal on Twitter. Bowen
playedfive seasons withthe Cow-
boys; he had 1
1
2 sacks in nine
starts last year.
Philadelphia put defensive
end Brandon Graham (left knee)
and offensive tackle Winston Jus-
tice (left knee) on the physically
unable to performlist. Also, wide
receiver Jeremy Maclin and cor-
nerback Samuel were excused
from training camp for personal
reasons.
Linebacker Justin Durant is
leaving Jacksonville for Detroit;
receiver Rashied Davis also
agreed to join the Lions after six

good.
Part of the reason Paterno
has more energy this summer is
because he believes that wont
be the case again in 2011. Penn
State has done very well with
veteran teams since that losing
stretch from 2000-04, with the
Nittany Lions two most experi-
enced squads winning the Big
Ten in 2005 and 2008.
Both of those teams, howev-
er, featured a breakout perform-
ance by a quarterback. At the
moment, Paterno said he still
has no timetable for naming a
starter between junior Matt
McGloin and sophomore Rob
Bolden.
I think well be better (at the
position), Paterno said.
Whether were gonna be good
enough, I dont know. Every-
body seems to be enthused.
The quarterbacks, theyll
stopbytheofficeeveryonceina
while. Ill say, How you doing?
Are your studies OK? That
kind of stuff. But I think were
gonna be better there.

prieties, and even in firing
him, Thorp said he believed
Davis. To be fair, the NCAAs
notice of allegations in June
outlined nine potential major
violations and none were tied
to Davis.
No matter.
Last year went south after
the season-long suspension of
seven players including
three who were picked in the
first two rounds in the NFL
draft and this one is head-
ing fast in the same direction.
What that means for recruit-
ing efforts in the next few
seasons even if UNC
doesnt lose any scholarships
practically guarantees at
least five more years of medi-
ocrity.
Speaking of time, its been a
dozen years now since uni-
versity presidents took control
of the NCAA with a mandate
to clean up the shady dealings
in the two big revenue-produc-
ing sports and sign a truce on
an athletic arms race. What
they did instead was hide the
brooms, ramp up their own
budgets and promise to be-
have better. The scandals look
the same now as they did
then: academic fraud, cheating
coaches, corner-cutting recrui-
ters, athletes devising schemes
to get paid and agents hang-
ing around preying on easy
marks. The only real differ-
ence is that the top college
brass now must stand in front
of microphones and explain
why they didnt know, let
alone act, when they should
have.
We tried to hold things
together and restore confi-
dence in the football program,
and I felt in order for us to
have a fair chance for that, I
would have to support coach
Davis, Thorp said. Ive come
to the conclusion that weve
given that enough time, and
now its time for us to take
the actions that were taking.
Like everything else about
this story from the start, chan-
cellor, too late.

A few months ago, Jim Dela-
nys plan had been to talk about
anything but this.
Nebraska was officially joining
the league. Realignment. A con-
ference championship game for
the first time. Increasing reve-
nues and exposure for the TV
network.
But all of that took a backseat
for the Big Ten commissioner on
Thursday at media days in Chica-
go. Understandably, the spot-
light was on Ohio States scandal-
filled offseason that led to the
Buckeyes casting off coach Jim
Tressel and quarterback Terrelle
Pryor.
Coach Tressel made a mis-
take and he paid dearly for that
mistake, Delany said. Universi-
ty of Michigan had a problem
with out-of-season practice, that
was an embarrassment. This
year we have Ohio State getting
ready to go in front of the infrac-
tions committee on August 12th.
Thats embarrassing.
Neither one of those institu-
tions have a history of being in
that situation. It not only has re-
flected poorly on them, its re-
flected poorly on us. I explained
to each of those coaches that go-
ing forward we do not want two
more such cases, and that they
are the CEOs of their program.
They hire the assistant coaches.
People do make mistakes, but
its how those mistakes are man-
aged and how people address
those thats more important than
the underlying mistake.
Delany also followed up on re-
cent comments by SEC commis-
sioner Mike Slive and ACC com-
missioner John Swofford that
called for sweeping reforms to an
NCAA rulebook that has not
evolved with the times.
It could probably fairly be de-
scribed as a system established
in the 50s and stuck in the 70s,
Delany said. I think that theres
going to be a need to really look
at it look at it seriously up-
grade it for the 21st century so
that were going to be able to con-
tinue to put forward teams spon-
sored by institutions of higher
education without being embar-
rassed by the actions that occur
off the field, not on the field.
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema
was particularly blunt when
asked about the negative head-
lines that have dominated col-
lege football since last fall.
If I had a dream world, I
would say hammer the guys that
dont do things right, Bielema
said. The only thing I get very
frustrated about is when I know
things go on that arent right,
mainly in recruiting. Thats the
biggest thing that comes across
my desk. People are willingly
and knowingly abusing rules and
breaking things.
When you consciously break
an NCAA rule, to me the only
way to deter that is to get rid of
people, or seriously hold pro-
grams accountable.
Even Penn State isnt immune
to NCAA issues. Coach Joe Pa-
terno admitted during a taping of
an ESPN special earlier this
month that he had seen part of an
offseason workout while walking
past the teams practice facility.
Paterno said Thursday that
the school self-reported the vio-
lation.
Were not allowed to watch
them in preseason, Paterno
said. I got in a jam because Im
walking by, the kids are running
around, I walk by and watch
them. We had to turn our-
selves in. Im not even supposed
to watch them run.
Penn State is one of only a
handful of programs nationwide
that has never faced NCAA sanc-
tions, though Paterno down-
played it when asked about the
key to keeping clean.
Oh, boy. Maybe were lucky
I dont know, Paterno said.
What the good Lord said dont
be the first one to cast the rock. I
preach all the time. I tell our
alumni all the time, Stay out of
it.
We try to keep theminformed
as to what they can do legally,
what they cant do legally. Im
constantly talking to the staff
about (it). If (a recruit) wants
to horse around with something,
or he suggests that maybe he
wants something walk away,
walk away. That doesnt mean
weve always walked away.
I try to keep track of it. Its
nice to know we havent had a
major violation. Im proud of
that. Im not going around gloat-
ing about it.

The two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner allowed three
hits, struck out six and worked
around four walks.
The Phillies hadnt lost con-
secutive games since June 4.
They went a club-record 45
straight games without drop-
ping two straight.
Sandoval gave the NL West
leaders a1-0 lead when he led off
the second inning with an oppo-
site-field shot to left. It was
Sandovals 10th homer, becom-
ing the first Giant to reach dou-
ble digits this season. Beltran
hit 15 for the Mets before he was
traded to San Francisco for
pitching prospect Zack Wheel-
er.
The addition of Beltran
should bolster a sagging offense
thats near the bottomin the ma-
jor statistical categories. Bel-
tran started in right field and
batted third. He contributed de-
fensively, making a sliding catch
to rob Jimmy Rollins of a hit on a
shallow fly in the fifth. Beltrans
streak of reaching base safely
was snapped at 32 games.
Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick
(5-5) gave up four runs three
earned and six hits in 6 1-3
innings.
The Giants went up 2-0 in the
fourth when Nate Schierholtz
ripped an RBI single. Aubrey
Huff hit a two-out double and
scored on Schierholtzs liner to
right-center.

The Yanks, meanwhile, were
held hitless for three straight in-

When he hits them, theyre
big ones, Yankees manager
Dave Miley said.

When you go opposite field
likethat, that (shows)somepow-

just skated over, he possesses a
whole lot of power.
Of his 24 home runs this sea-
son, Vazquez has eight against
Buffalo.
This is a good ballpark to hit
home runs, said Vazquez
through an interpreter. The ball
went over the fence and Imhap-
py withit.
Doug Bernier added an RBI

Yankees reliever Buddy Car-
lyle (2-2) was the beneficiary, re-
cording the win after coming on
in the seventh and setting down
Buffalo in order. He did the same
in the eighth, and Randy Flores
worked the ninth for his fourth
save.
Luis Nunez connected for a

For U.S. soccer fans, the scene
was tough to watch: Archrival
Mexico celebrating a Gold Cup
victory on American soil, cheer-
ed on by a largely pro-Mexico
crowd at the Rose Bowl.
A little more than a month lat-
er, Bob Bradley has been fired as
coach of the U.S. mens soccer
team.
Bradley led the team to big
moments during his tenure, in-
cluding Landon Donovans
heart-stopping goal to secure a
place in the round of 16 at last
years World Cup in South Africa
and an unforgettable victory
over Spain in 2009.
But to some,
the disappoint-
ing Gold Cup
loss to a Mexi-
co team that
seems to be on
the upswing
was another
sign that the
U.S. teams progress has stalled
under Bradley.
We want to thank Bob Bra-
dley for his service and dedica-
tion to U.S. Soccer during the
past five years, U.S. Soccer Fed-
eration president Sunil Gulati
said in a statement. During his
time as the head coach of our
Mens National Team he led the
teamto a number of accomplish-
ments, but we felt now was the
right time for us to make a
change. It is always hard to make
these decisions, especially when
it involves someone we respect
as much as Bob. We wish him
the best in his future endeav-
ors.
Now another coach will be
given the chance to lead the
Americans into another World
Cup qualifying cycle beginning
next year. The next World Cup is
in Brazil in 2014.
With a Mexico rematch loom-
ing, an Aug. 10 exhibition in Phi-
ladelphia, U.S. Soccer likely will
move quickly to select Bradleys
replacement. The federation
said it will have a further an-
nouncement today but did not
provide details.
The United States has long
been linked with a move for
Juergen Klinsmann, former
coach and player for the German
national team. Other foreign
coaches might be in the mix. But
the federation also might con-
sider an up-and-coming coach in
MLS, Real Salt Lakes Jason
Kreis.
The dismissal comes nearly a
year after Bradley was given a
contract extension to continue
coaching the team through
2014. But even as Bradley was
given a new deal, there were
concerns that the team had hit
its ceiling.
Yes, the U.S. made it to the
round of 16 in last years World
Cup but it needed Donovans
last-minute heroics to make it
out of what was seen as a rela-
tively easy group, then was elim-
inated by Ghana in a game many
thought was winnable.
Bradleys supporters would
point out that he has made the
most of a group of players who
generally can outwork rival
teams, but lack the technical
skills and finishing touch of the
worlds elite.
U.S. Soccer is in the middle of
overhauling its youth develop-
ment system, an effort led by for-
mer U.S. captain Claudio Reyna.
The hope is to growa newgener-
ation of elite soccer players by
identifying and nourishing play-
ers potential at an earlier age.
Although many current U.S.
national team players have pro-
ven themselves good enough to
join European club teams, too
many get stuck on the bench
when they make it overseas.
Bradley was chosen as coach
in January 2007 and went 43-25-
12 overall.
Highlights include the victory
over Spain and near-upset of
Brazil in the 2009 Confeder-
ations Cup, along with last
years World Cup.
But the U.S. team is having a
rough 2011. First came Spains
4-0 rout of the U.S. in an exhibi-
tion, followed by a head-scratch-
ing 2-1 loss to Panama early in
the Gold Cup.
The U.S. rallied to make it to
the Gold Cup championship
game, but the 4-2 loss was seen
as a setback for U.S. soccer after
the team blew a 2-0 lead.

NEWARK, N.J. In a move that helps
both teams in regard to salaries, the New
Jersey Devils acquired forward Trent Hun-
ter from the New York Islanders in ex-
change for forwardBrianRolstononThurs-
day.
Hunter, 31, spent nine seasons with the
Islanders, compiling 99 goals and 229
points in459 NHLgames. He playedjust 17
games last season, scoring one goal, be-
cause of a torn knee ligament. Acquired
from Anaheim on May 23, 2000, Hunter
was a Ducks sixth-round draft choice in
1998.
Rolston, 38, was in his second stint as a
Devil. He had 14 goals and 34 points last
season, when New Jersey missed the post-
season for the first time since 1996.
The deal brings the Islanders closer to
the NHLs salary floor of $48.3 million next
season. It also gives the Devils more cap
space to attempt to sign restricted free
agent Zach Parise, who is scheduled to go
to salary arbitration next week.

SHANGHAI Michael Phelps knew it
would take a world record to win the 200-
meter individual medley at the world
championships. He just thought it would
come from him.
Instead, Phelps found himself on the los-
ingendof a closefinishThursday, watching
teammate Ryan Lochte celebrate the first
world record set since high-tech bodysuits
were banned 1
1
2 years ago.
It was Phelps second straight loss to his
good friend, who had beaten the 14-time
Olympic gold medalist in the 200 freestyle
two nights earlier.
They both sort of told me the same
thing, I need to be in better shape, Phelps
said. If I want to be faster the work has to
be there andit has tobe there consistently.
Lochte sprinted to the wall in 1 minute,
54.00 seconds, then pumped his right arm
before clasping hands with Phelps in the
next lane. He lowered his old mark set two
years ago in Rome by a tenth of a second.
One word describes that race jeah!
Lochte said, using his favorite made-up ex-
pression.
Phelps checked his time of 1:54.16, then
slid over the lane rope in front of Lochte
and made his way out of the pool. Hun-
garys Laszlo Cseh took the bronze in
1:57.69.
Were usually on the other end of the
close ones, said Bob Bowman, Phelps
coach.
The final was virtually a match race be-
tweenPhelps andLochte, withPhelps lead-
ing the opening butterfly leg by six-hun-
dredths of a second. Lochte took over on
the backstroke leg and held a narrow lead
through the finish.
Phelps outsplit Lochte by 0.13 seconds
on the closing freestyle leg.
I thought I hadit onthe last stroke, said
Phelps, who glided into the wall. After
thinking about it, I probably could have
rushed another stroke in there and maybe
gotten to the wall faster.
Before Lochtes 2009 world record,
Phelps had set the previous eight world re-
cords in the event dating to June 2003.
I knew a world record was going to win
that race, Phelps said.

INDIANAPOLIS Crown
Royal wants to take its shot in a
new NASCAR venue.
On Thursday, the distiller said
it had agreed to become the new
title sponsor of the Brickyard
400. Track and company officials
did not provide financial details,
saying only that it was a multi-
year contract.
This years Brickyard 400 is
scheduled for Sunday.
Starting in 2012, the race will
be renamed the Crown Royal
Your Heros Name Goes Here
400 at the Brickyard. The compa-
ny plans to hold a contest to se-
lect the fans name that will be in-
corporated into the title, as it did
previously at Richmond.
Well continue to look for
ways to partner with Richmond
as we move forward, but at this
time, were focusing on the Brick-
yard, said Heather Boyd, the
companys senior brand manag-
er. The NASCAR community
has always been very important
to Crown Royal and has been ve-
ry loyal to our business. Were
still trying to figure out how to
engage that moving forward.
Overall, though, Crown Royal
is expected to reduce the amount
of money it spends in Sprint Cup
next season.
In June, the company said it
would drop its sponsorship of
Roush Fenway Racing after this
season, and parent company Di-
ageo said it would not renew its
deal as an official NASCAR part-
ner. Crown Royal has been the
primary sponsor of Matt Ken-
seths car the last two seasons,
and before that had sponsored
Kurt Busch and Jamie McMur-
ray.
Boyd said it was still possible
the company could play a bigger
role than expected in Cup racing
next season and becoming title
sponsor of the biggest stock car
race outside of the South will
achieve part of the companys
goal.
Well look at our options,
Boyd said.
Crown Royal also may benefit
from the Nationwide Series and
Grand-Amraces beingheldonIn-
dys historic track for the first
time next summer.
Speedway CEO Jeff Belskus
hopes a revised schedule reinvig-
orates interest in a race that has
seen attendance steadily dwin-
dle.
Last years race drew an esti-
mated140,000 fans, a record low,
and this weekend may not be
much better.
In May, Belskus said ticket
sales were running behind last
years pace and expressed con-
cern about the potential for even
more empty seats this time.
Since then, track organizers
have announced several promo-
tional events, ranging from addi-
tional concerts to a beach bash in
the third turn on race day, in an
attempt tosell more tickets. Tick-
et holders from the inaugural
Cup race at Kentucky, which was
beset by traffic problems, can
even attend todays practice ses-
sion for free and will receive $5
off the ticket price and free park-
ing for Saturdays qualifications.
Whether its the promotions,
the timing or more interest, Bel-
skus acknowledged ticket sales
have improved and that organiz-
ers believe there could be stron-
ger walk-up sales this weekend,
too.
But the race will be nowhere
near a sellout. Belskus said five
grandstand sections will be
closed on race day.
Its not the first time track offi-
cials have closed the grand-
stands. Speedway spokesman
Doug Boles said it was done pre-
viously for the MotoGP and For-
mula One races that were held on
the tracks road course encom-
passing only about half of the tra-
ditional oval.
It looks like well have well
over100,000peoplehereandthat
still qualifies as one of the largest
events onthe Sprint Cup circuit,
Belskus said. But wed always
like tosell more, andI hope we do
sell more.
Belskus contends the attend-
ance decline has more to do with
a lagging economy, high gas pric-
es, the tire fiasco of 2008 and the
increase in Cup races throughout
the Midwest than a lack of inter-
est. And he points to attendance
declines at other NASCAR
tracks, including Bristol and Tal-
ladega, as evidence.
What were seeing here is typ-
ical with what much of NASCAR
is seeing. Youve seen soft attend-
ance the last couple of years and
were no different, Belskus said.
Crown Royal is banking on the
fact Indy is different.
This partnership gives us the
chance to take our national pro-
gram to the next level at one of
the most historic venues in mo-
torsports, Diageo North Ameri-
can Whisky vice president
Yvonne Briese said in a state-
ment.

TOLEDO, Ohio Olin
Browne eagled two holes in a
five-hole span down the
stretch and finished with a
7-under 64 Thursday for a
two-stroke lead after the open-
ing round of the U.S. Senior
Open.
Browne, a three-time winner
on the PGA Tour in his third
year on the over-50 circuit, had
four birdies, two eagles and a
bogey.
At 2 under and three shots
off the pace on his 13th hole,
he hit a hybrid-3 from 216
yards that came to rest 6 feet
from the pin at the par-5 4th
and then rolled in the putt for
eagle.
His next eagle was far more
dramatic.
He laid up with a 4-iron
second shot on the par-5 8th
and had 97 yards left. His
wedge landed just over the
flag, then spun back into the
cup as he cast a stunned look
at caddie Otis Moore.
Over the six holes numbered
3 through 8, he went 6 under,
and picked up five shots on
par in a span of five holes.
The 64 tied for the lowest
first round ever at a U.S. Se-
nior Open, matching Bruce
Fleisher (2000), R.W. Eaks
(2002) and Craig Stadler
(2005). It was also the lowest
Champions Tour score for
Browne, although in the final
rounds of his only two previ-
ous U.S. Senior Opens he had
shot 65 and 66.
Playing late on an oppres-
sively humid day at lengthy
Inverness Club, Browne was
two strokes clear of Mark
OMeara and Michael Allen,
who each shot bogey-free 66s.
OMeara, whose last two
PGA victories came in the
1998 Masters and British
Open, used an old set of irons
while fighting off jet lag from
a frequent-flyers dream trip
over the past few weeks. Al-
lens only Seniors victory came
in another major championship
in Ohio, the 2009 Senior PGA
at Canterbury in Cleveland.
Amateur Damon Green,
better known as Zach John-
sons caddie, was at 67 with
former U.S. Open champion
Steve Jones and Mark Wiebe.
Another shot back at 68
were former British Open
winner Mark Calcavecchia,
U.S. Open winner Corey Pavin
and PGA Championship victor
Jeff Sluman, along with Steve
Pate, Tommy Armour III, Jim
Thorpe, Kiyoshi Murota and
Trevor Dodds.
Seemingly ageless Hale
Irwin was up to his usual
tricks. The winner of three
U.S. Opens, including the 1979
edition at Inverness Club, was
once again in contention in a
major at age 66. He shot a 69.
There were 35 players who
broke par and another 11 who
equaled it.
Defending champion Bern-
hard Langer, still rounding
into shape after rehabbing a
thumb injury for 4 months,
shot a 70. He was joined at 1
under by Russ Cochran, com-
ing off a major championship
victory a week ago at the Se-
nior British Open.
Trevor Immelman leads at
Greenbrier Classic
WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. Trevor
Immelman shot a 6-under 64
Thursday for a one-stroke lead
after the first round of the
Greenbrier Classic.
The former Masters cham-
pion carded seven birdies and
a bogey on the redesigned Old
White TPC course for his best
round of the year. The South
African missed the cut in last
years inaugural event and is
seeking his first top-10 finish
since having wrist surgery in
2009.
Gary Woodland, Billy May-
fair, Derek Lamely, Webb
Simpson and Steven Bowditch
each shot 65, while four others
had a 66.
Phil Mickelson, who can
take over the FedEx Cup
points lead with a win, shot an
even round.

Woods to end 3-month layoff at Firestone
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Tiger Woods returns to golf next week at
the Bridgestone Invitational, ending an 11-week break to heal
injuries to his left leg.
Woods announced the decision on his website on Thursday.
On his Twitter account, Woods says hes feeling fit and ready to
tee it up at Firestone next week. Excited to get back out there!
It marks the third-longest layoff of his career, only this time
Woods returns with as much uncertainty about his future as ever.
Along with questions about the strength of his left knee and
Achilles, he embarks on this latest comeback with a new caddie.
Woods has plunged to No. 21 in the world his lowest ranking
since Jan. 26, 1997.
Bob Baffert is coming to the
Jersey Shore in the role of spoil-
er.
Certainly, thats a change since
the Hall of Fame trainer has won
the $1 million Haskell Invitation-
al at Monmouth Park four times
in four tries with four favorites,
including last year with Lookin
At Lucky.
This time, the white-haired
Baffert will send out the late-
blooming Coil to try and spring a
surprise against the likes of
Preakness winner Shackleford
and Belmont Stakes winner Rul-
er On Ice.
Hes training as good as any
horse that Ive brought in, but his
resume is not as strong as the
others, Baffert said Thursday
on a conference call. I think hes
going to run a big race. Well just
have to see whether he has the
class.
The class of the eight-horse
field is Shackleford, the 5-2
morning-line favorite trained by
Dale Romans. Shackleford was
fourth in the Derby, held off Der-
by winner Animal Kingdom in
the Preakness and ran fifth in the
Belmont.
He hasnt shown any signs of
being tired, Romans said, add-
ing that he gave the colt two
weeks off after the Triple Crown
races . He came out of his little
vacation eager to train and his
last two works were all on his
own and he went around there as
good as hes ever gone.
Coil is far from a long shot,
even if he didnt run in any Triple
Crown races. The son of Point
Given is the 3-1 second choice
with three wins and a narrow
loss in the Swaps Stakes in his
last four starts. The chestnut colt
drew the No. 1 post, and will be
ridden by Martin Garcia.
My horses always run well
there (at Monmouth), Baffert
said, referring to past Haskell
winners Point Given (2001), War
Emblem (2002), Roman Ruler
(2005) and Lookin At Lucky, all
of whom won at least one Triple
Crown race. I always bring a
good one there, and that helps.

Another Big Oil report
Chevron is expected to join
other oil companies in
reporting a big gain in
second-quarter earnings.
The company told investors
this month that it wasnt
producing oil at the same
rate as last year. But higher
prices for gas and oil will
still give Chevron a big
earnings lift. Investors do
want to know how the com-
pany plans to raise its oil
output in the future.
The first look at 2Q GDP
So how weak was the economy during the second quarter? The Com-
merce Departments report on the gross domestic product is expected to
show that it was in worse shape than during the first three months of the
year. We already know some of the reasons: weak job growth, a stagnant
housing market and the impact of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Investors will want to know if theres any other bad news from the quarter.
Mercks plans for the future
While investors want to see
Mercks second-quarter earn-
ings report today, theyre likely
to be more interested in whats
ahead. Like other drug compa-
nies, Merck has been losing
patent protection on some of its
top drugs. Others, including its
asthma and allergy drug Singu-
lair, will lose protection in the
next few years. Investors want
to hear about Mercks plans for
a new Hepatitis C drug and its
new skin cancer drug. Source: The Commerce Department

Stocks stumble again
A late sell-off wiped out the stock
markets gains Thursday as investors
worried that a bill headed for a vote in
the House of Representatives would
fail to break a stalemate over raising
the countrys debt limit.
The market was up for much of the
day but started to sink in the last half-
hour of trading. Senate Majority Lead-
er Harry Reid said in the afternoon that
the House bill wouldnt get a single
Democratic vote in the Senate, mean-
ing it would fail.
Sprint Nextel Corp. shares fell 15.9
percent. The nations No. 3 wireless
carrier said its loss widened in the
second quarter, partly because of a tax
expense and investment losses.
Sanofi earnings slump
Sanofi saw its earnings slump 41
percent in the second quarter from a
year earlier as growing competition
from generic alternatives ate into sales
of its more expensive drugs and offset
gains from the recent acquisition of
U.S. biotechnology firm Genzyme.
The company said its net profit fell
to (euro) 1 billion ($1.44 billion) in the
second quarter from (euro) 1.7 billion a
year earlier. Sales of its anti-clotting
drug Lovenox and breast and prostate
cancer drug Taxotere fell sharply due
to generic competition in the U.S.
Sanofis vaccine unit is headquar-
tered in Swiftwater, Monroe County.
Madoff money recovered
A trustee recovering money for in-
vestors who lost billions of dollars
through Wall Street swindler Bernard
Madoffs dealings says hes secured
more than a billion dollars through
settlements with associates of the
second largest feeder fund group to
invest with Madoff.
Trustee Irving Picard announced
Thursday the settlement will boost
recoveries of money available to jilted
investors to more than $8.6 billion. He
says thats nearly half the approximate-
ly $17.3 billion in principal lost by
Madoff.
Starbucks profit grows
Starbucks Corp. says stronger sales
helped drive its third-quarter net in-
come up 33 percent.
The Seattle-based coffee giant said
Thursday that it drew more customers
and they spent slightly more than a
year earlier.
It earned $887.4 million, or 36 cents
per share, for the quarter. That is up
from $666.7 million, or 27 cents per
share. Revenue rose 12 percent to $2.93
billion.
Banks aid Greece
The French Finance Ministry says
that French banks and insurers have
promised to give Greece easier lending
terms on 15 billion euros ($21 billion)
in bonds they hold.
The contribution of the private sec-
tor, estimated at 106 billion euros by
2020, is a central part of a second res-
cue package for Greece, and will be
supplemented by 109 billion euros in
loans from the eurozone and the IMF.

WASHINGTON The number of
people seekingunemployment benefits
dropped last week to the lowest level
since early April, a sign the job market
may be healing after a recent slump.
The Labor Department said Thurs-
day that weekly applications fell 24,000
to a seasonally adjusted 398,000. Thats
the first time applications have fallen
below 400,000 in 16 weeks.
The four-week average, a less volatile
measure, dropped to 413,750, the low-
est since the week of April 23.
Economists cautioned that the lower
level only reflects one week of data and
that doesnt necessarily signal a trend.
The drop is clearly good news, said
Joshua Shapiro, an economist at MFR
Inc. Still, we would prefer to see fur-
ther data before concluding that the
earlier downtrend in claims is being re-
established.
Separately, the National Association
of Realtors said more people signed
contracts to buy homes in June for the
second straight month. But the in-
crease was not enough to signal a re-
bound in the weak housing market.
The Realtors group said its index of
sales agreements for previously occu-
piedhomes rose 2.4percent inJune toa
readingof 90.9. The gainandan8.2per-
cent increase in May did not make up
for a huge drop-off in April when con-
tract signings had fallen 11.3 percent.
The total number of people receiving
unemployment benefits dipped to 3.7
million. That doesnt include millions
of people receiving extended benefits
under emergency programs enacted
during the recession. All told, 7.65 mil-
lion people received benefits in the
week ended July 9, the latest data avail-
able.
Analysts forecast that the economy
grewin the April-June quarter by an an-
nual rate of only1.7 percent, the second
straight quarter of anemic expansion.
The government reports on second-
quarter growth today.
Many economists are becoming
more pessimistic about the second half
of this year. Goldman Sachs recently
cut its estimate for growth in the July-
September period to 2.5 percent, down
from 3.25 percent. JPMorgan, mean-
while, reduced its estimate to 2.5 per-
cent from 3 percent.
Growth of about 2.5 percent is barely
enough to reduce the unemployment
rate. The economy would need to grow
5 percent for a whole year to bring
down the rate by one percentage point.

CHICAGO Exxon Mobil
Corp. on Thursday reported low-
er- than-expected second-quarter
net income as a slump in interna-
tional refining profits limited the
impact of higher oil prices for the
worlds largest publicly traded oil
company.
Net income rose 41 percent to
$10.68 billion, or $2.18 a share,
from$7.56billion, or $1.60, ayear
earlier, the Irving, Texas-based
company said. The results were
16 cents lower than the $2.34 a
share expected, based on the av-
erage estimate of 18 analysts in a
Bloomberg survey.
Downstream profitability,
particularly for a highly global
company like Exxon, is always
just notoriously difficult to fore-
cast, said Pavel Molchanov an
analyst at Raymond James & As-
sociates in Houston.
Molchanov said he expected
refining earnings of about $2 bil-
lion in the quarter, while the seg-
ment reported $1.36 billion of
profit.
Refining, or downstream, earn-
ings from outside the U.S. fell 20
percent in the second quarter
from a year earlier to $622 mil-
lion. Total refining earnings
climbed $136 million.
Exxons second-quarter net in-
come was 4 cents a share higher
than in the first quarter, while oil
prices averaged 8.2 percent high-
er.
Oil futures in New York aver-
aged $102.34 a barrel in the sec-
ond quarter, 31 percent higher
than the $78.05 a barrel a year
earlier as economic expansion
stoked energy demand and a civil
war in Libya disrupted oil ex-
ports.
Exxon isnt expected to top
Thursdays results for at least the
rest of this year, Bloombergs sur-
vey of analysts shows, amid signs
that the oil rally may be cooling.
For the second quarter, crude
and gasoline prices were higher,
but were starting to see some in-
klings of a softening in demand
later in the year, said Douglas
Ober, chief executive officer of
the $837millionPetroleum&Re-
sources Corp. fund in Baltimore,
whose largest holding is Exxon
stock.
Chief Executive Officer Rex
Tillerson has orchestrated $38
billion in acquisitions since June
2010 to amass natural-gas fields
and the expertise to exploit
them. Exxon plans to purchase
more gas reserves and is assess-
ing targets in more than a dozen
gas-rich shale-rock formations
worldwide, Jack Williams, presi-
dent of Exxons XTOEnergyunit,
said in a July 20 interview.

WASHINGTON The nations health
care bill is on track to hit $4.6 trillion in
2020, accountingforabout$1of every$5in
theeconomy, governmentnumbercrunch-
ers estimateinareport releasedThursday.
How much is that? Including govern-
ment and private money, health care
spending in 2020 will average $13,710 for
every man, woman and child, says Medi-
cares Officeof theActuary.
Compareittothisyear, whenU.S. health
care spending is projected to top $2.7 tril-
lion, about $8,650per capita, or roughly$1
of $6intheeconomy. Most of thosedollars
gotoprovidecarefor thesickest people.
Alongwithrisingcosts, thereport found
that theshareof thehealthcaretabpaidby
the government keeps growing, approach-
inghalf thetotal.
The update from Medicare economists
andstatisticians is anannual barometer of
atrendthat manyexperts sayis unsustain-
able, but doesnt seemtobeslowing.
The analysis found that President Barack
Obamas healthcareoverhaul wouldonlybe
amodest contributor togrowingcosts, even
though an additional 30 million otherwise
uninsuredpeoplestandtogaincoverage.
Instead, health care spending keeps
growing faster than the economy because
of high cost of medical innovations and an
agingsociety.
Separately, another new report finds
that the U.S. continues to spend far more
onhealthcarethanother economicallyde-
veloped countries. The study by the Com-
monwealthFundfoundthat U.S. spending
per person in 2008 was more than double
the median or midpoint for other
leadingeconomies.
Health tab to hit $4.6 trillion

Coccia Ford General Manager Greg
Martin would like to get more of the pop-
ular Focus model if hecould.
If theycouldbuildmore, wedbehappy
to have more, Martin said Thursday, the
day a report surfaced that Ford cant keep
up with demand because of equipment
problems that have caused a shortage of
dashboards.
Machinerythat makes theskinthat cov-
ers dashboards at a Ford parts factory out-
sideDetroit worksintermittently, twopeo-
plefamiliar withthesituationtoldTheAs-
sociated Press. That is forcing the compa-
ny to take the unusual and costly step of
flying in parts from Europe to keep its as-
sembly lines moving, the people said. De-
spitethoseefforts, theFocusplantnearDe-
troit cant runat full speed, theysaid.
Theproblemcomesat atimewhenhigh
gas prices andshortages of Japanesesmall
cars havedrivenupdemandfor theFocus.
Martinhadnot heardof the allegedprob-
lem but said he hasnt been able to get as
many Focuses as hed like for the Plains
Township dealership that he said is the top
volume seller in the companys region that
encompasses eastern Pennsylvania, includ-
ingPhiladelphia, andmuchof NewJersey.
Thats news to me, he said of the re-
port. He attributed the shortage in part to
the popularity of the redesigned compact
that is Fords top-selling passenger car.
More than 21,000 Focuses were sold last
month.
The demand is so high, that yes, our
supply is muchlower thanits beeninpast
years, hesaid.
Cars like the Focus that get high gas
mileage, are flying off the lot, Martin
said, sellingas quicklyas hecanget them.
Heestimatedthedealershipwill sell 200
Focuses this year. If we could get more,
wedsell evenmore, hesaid.
FordspokesmanToddNissensaidcom-
pany policy is not to comment on internal
workingsatitsplants. Buthesaidthefacto-
ry continues to make dashboards for the
Focus.
Itsunclearjusthowlongitwilltaketofix
the problem and whether Ford will raise

ident fortheAmericas, wouldnt comment
last week but said the Focus plant is pro-
ducingat a ratethecompanyexpected.
Forthemost part, wheneveryouhavea

I wont sayits beenflawless, but thegood
news is theres a lot of demand for it and
well continuetoget thosecars out.

The case for 12k
Matthew Craft
How long till the Dow
reaches 12,000? Give it a few
days.
Big investors still believe
Republicans and President
Obama will agree to raise the
borrowing limit in time to
prevent the U.S. from default-
ing on its debt after Aug. 2.
But with the deadline uncom-
fortably close, many are
cashing out just in case. The
Dow is down 441 points this
week. Expect more losses as
the haggling drags on.
Maybe thats what
Washington needs. A 777-
point drop in the Dow in
September 2008 is credited
with forcing the House to
pass a bill bailing out financial
firms.
An agreement to lift the
debt ceiling could send
relieved investors back into
stocks and set off a celebra-
tory rally. But theres still a
problem. Standard & Poors
has warned that anything less
than $4 trillion in budget cuts
will likely mean the U.S. loses
its top AAA rating. When
rating agencies downgrade
countries as weve seen
with Spain, Greece and
Japan their stocks sink.
The case for 13k
David K. Randall
Its easy to think that the
market will keep falling. But
dont underestimate investors
greed.
Eighty percent of the 190
companies in the S&P 500 that
have reported second-quarter
results have beaten Wall
Streets estimates. Earnings
from Microsoft, Coca-Cola and
IBM had the Dow above
12,700 just a week ago. And
as Dunkin Donuts 46 percent
pop on its first day of trading
Wednesday shows, investors
arent running for the hills.
Once a deal is signed,
expect a relief rally that even
a one-notch credit downgrade
might not extinguish. Why?
Because big U.S. companies,
including those in the Dow,
have overseas operations
and rely less than ever on
domestic business for profits.
Companies in countries like
Spain or Greece tend to have
operations that are regional
rather than global.
Corporations have proven
over the last three years that
they know how to manage
uncertain times. Theres no
reason to think that will
change once theres a new
borrowing limit.
Whats
next for
Dow: 12k
or 13k?
Market watchers are split over
what stocks will do after theres a
deal on the governments
borrowing limit. Two of them, AP
financial markets writers Matthew
Craft and David K. Randall, give
their opinions on whether the Dow
Jones industrial average will reach
13,000 or tumble down to 12,000.

The medical device maker raised its
outlook for the year and said it was
cutting 5 percent to 6 percent of its
work force.
The wireless carrier added more
subscribers, but its quarterly loss
widened as it spent more to attract
customers.
Higher oil prices and bigger refining
margins drove quarterly profit up 41
percent, but analysts had expected
stronger growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell for a fifth
straight day as a Tuesday deadline approached
for the government to avoid a possible debt de-
fault. The U.S. says it may default unless its bor-
rowing limit is raised. Debt worries overshadowed
a report showing that the pace of layoffs may be
slowing. The Dow fell 62.44, or 0.5 percent, to
12,240.11. The S&P 500 fell 4.22, or 0.3 percent,
to 1,300.67. The Nasdaq rose 1.46, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 2,766.25.

Another very
warm and very
humid air mass
moved in last
night. Along with
some hazy sun-
shine today, con-
ditions will be
ripe for thunder-
storms to devel-
op. Stronger
updrafts in some
of the storms
bring the poten-
tial for hail and
damaging winds.
The chance for
rain will last into
early tonight and
then by midnight
the wind will
shift, a sign that
improving
weather will
arrive for tomor-
row and Sunday.
Along with a
good deal of
sunshine and
lower humidty
both days,
expect little or
no chance for
rain. Starting
next week, our
normal trend in
high tempera-
ture begins to
fall from 83 to
82.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Tropical Storm Don will begin to spread wet weather into the Western Gulf
Coast region and will most likely make landfall overnight. Showers and thunderstorms will be likely
along a frontal boundary from the Northeast to the southern Plains. Scattered thunderstorms will
also be possible from portions of the Southwest to the northern High Plains.
Recorded at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Intl Airport
