Martinez goes on disabled list
SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners
All-Star designated hitter Edgar
Martinez was placed on the 15-day
disabled list Monday night because
of a strained left quadricep muscle.
Martinez, the No. 3 hitter in Seat
tie's batting order, was injured in
Sunday night's 8-0 victory over the
Arizona Diamondbacks.
Left-hander John Halama will
take Martinez's place on the
Mariners' roster. He was recalled
from Triple-A Tacoma and started
Monday night’s game against the Di
amondbacks.
Martinez, 38, was hurt in the first
inning of Sunday night's game
while running to second on a hit
and-run play.
Martinez was hitting .299 (86 for
288) in 84 games for the Mariners
this season. He has 14 home runs,
27 doubles and 70 RBI.
All-Star second baseman Bret
Boone was Seattle’s DH and batted
third in Monday night's game with
Mark McLemore replacing him at
second base. Boone has batted fifth
in Seattle's batting order most of the
season.
Manager Lou Piniella said he also
plans to use right fielder Ichiro
Suzuki, center fielder Mike
Cameron and first baseman John
Olerud as the Mariners' DH while
Martinez is sidelined.

Griffey spurs Reds
CINCINNATI — Ken Griffey Jr.
showed the complete package for
the first time all season.
Griffey hit two of Cincinnati's
four homers and made a running
over-the-shoulder catch Monday
night as the Reds beat the Detroit
Tigers 9-1 behind rookie starter
Lance Davis.
Limited all season by a torn
hamstring, Griffey hasn't been able
to make the sensational defensive
play or put together a big offense
game. It looked like old times
Monday night.
Griffey, who left the clubhouse
before reporters entered after the
game, also made his best play in
the field so far. He ran down Shane
Halter's fly ball to the warning
track in center field in the second
inning, turning his back to the in
field to make the catch.

and cross country. In 1994,
Heinonen was honored as a master
coach by U.S.A. Track and Field,
the chief recognition in coaching
education. Men’s track and field
head coach Martin Smith is in his
third year at Oregon.
Ross Smith, an eighth grader
who runs the mile and 400-meter
dash, said Steve Prefontaine was
“pretty cool” for all that he
achieved in his running career.
Seven-year runner Leesl Merritt,
who runs the 1,500, 3,000 and
5,000, said she has learned from
Prefontaine’s accomplishments as
a runner to always try her best.
The track and field and cross
country runners’ stay at Oregon
will be at an end Thursday night,
and the Oregon Track Club will
put on an All-Comer track meet
open to the community to bid
farewell to the Prefontaines of the
future..
All in all, the youth sports
camps held at Oregon build confi
dence in the nation’s athletes.
Denise Wall, Monroe High
School’s dancing coach whose
squad participated in the dance
camp last weekend, said her girls’
confidence with themselves and
teammates has improved because
of what the camps offered to them.
"We hope to stay at this facili
ty," Wall said. "The camp benefits
the girls. It helps them to bond
with one another, and their confi
dence rises."
Sharon Haga, Bandon High
School’s dancing coach, said that
the dance camp was broken up
into four different skill levels so
that all the girls would be provid
ed with the opportunity to learn to
their fullest potential.
“We hope to stay at this
facility. The camp benefits
the girls. It helps them to
bond with the one another,
and their confidence rises. ”
Denise Wall
dancing coach,
Monroe High School
“Level four is for girls that
know dancing and the terminolo
gy that goes along with it,’’ Haga
said. “Through the three years
that I’ve coached, the intermedi
ate girls have always shown oth
er girls what to do and not do, es
pecially for evaluations. There’s
no comparing. The girls all help
one another.’’
Haga said the camp is designed
to teach more than dance and indi
vidual techniques.
"They learn different ways to
move," Haga said. "But there are
also seminars on health and body
issues that influence them.”
Haga and Wall said that staying
at this camp has left a lasting im
pression of Oregon on their
squads.
"The girls love the campus,"
Haga said.
Litzenberger

Kent said he welcomes Litzen
berger’s presence because of his
vast knowledge.
“I have known Litz since 1987
and because of our friendship
and working with him in the
past, he is familiar with our sys
tem and our terminology, and I
/: =
anticipate a smooth transition,”
Kent said.
Among Litzenberger’s many ac
complishments are a National In
vitational Tournament crown as a
coach at Fresno State in 1983 and
a 194-62 overall record as a head
coach.
“The transition should be easy,”
Litzenberger said. “I know the
players are ready.”
