(AP photo) Oklahoma City is Newest NBA Town (AP)— Former heavyweight boxing great Muhammad Ali, 63, who has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for many years, is getting worse, his daughter, Laila Ali, told The Los Angeles Times. “I feel like the disease is pro­ gressing,” she told The Times. “ Different things start happen­ ing as you get older. I have noticed a change in him, some­ thing that goes along with Parkinson’s. “It’s painful for me because I would love to sit down and talk W here: K am atta Inn Dr. Billy R. Flowers hitting - and even som e help from the um pires - C hicago jo in ed the 1999 New Y ork Y ankees as the only team s to go 11- 1 in the postseason since the extra round o f playoffs w as added in ’95. G oing back to the regular season, the W hite Sox won 16 o f their final 17 gam es. It’s the sam e charm ing story as last year, when the Red Sox sw ept St. Louis for their first cham pionship since 1918. C hicago h a d n 't won it all since 1917, and h ad n ’t even reached the Series since ’59. But thanks to M V P Jerm aine Dye, slugger Paul K onerko and the rest, the W hite Sox will no longer be mainly rem em ­ bered for Shoeless Joe Ja ck so n ’s Black Sox, who threw the 1919 Series against Cincinnati. And another parallel is striking: Boston w on its final eight gam es in the 2004 postseason, ju st as the W hite Sox did this year. and overcam e 20-point first-h alf deficits in both gam es - one a win and on e a four- point loss. “W e w an t to esta b lish so m e ty p e o f a h o m e -c o u rt a d v a n ta g e ,” S co tt said. “ W e ’ve g o t a g rea t cro w d , so w e ’ve g ot to b rin g an en erg y and a p h y sic a l­ ity to th e g am e th a t w e h a v e n ’t been b rin g in g , and all o u r g u y s k n o w that rig h t n o w .” T he H ornets opened last season 2-29 and were the N B A ’s low est-scoring team w ith only 88.4 points per gam e. But that h asn 't m attered to fans in O klahom a City w ho have been longing for a chance to prove th eir city is ready for a m ajor- league franchise. Out at restaurants, fans recognize play­ ers, acknow ledge them and say, “W elcom e,” Paul said, and that goes a long way. “W e ’re in a new city aw ay from h o m e,” Paul said, “but the m ore people em brace us the more we feel at hom e.” Ali’s Health May be Getting Worse S p e a k e r S en a to r M a rg a re t C a rter President Pro Tempore of the Oregon Senate T hem e: (A P) — W earing a w ide, satisfied sm ile on a face flushed with pride, O zzie G uillen stood o ff to the side by the third base line and sim ply w atched his W hite Sox rejoice in the m iddle o f the field. C h icag o ’s exuberant young m anager m ight have enjoyed sprinting tow ard that cluster o f ju bilant players and leaping right into the fray. He passed. But d o n ’t think for a m om ent he d id n ’t relish this long-overdue cham pionship as m uch as every die-hard fan on the South Side. “People thought I was going to be ju m p ­ ing around my players. I have to respect the opposite team,” the 41 -year-oldGuillen said. Chicago com pleted a World Series sweep with a 1 -0 victory over the Houston Astros on Oct. 26, becoming the second consecu­ tive set o f Sox to end a title drought that dated all the way back to World W ar I. Their first title in 88 years certain ly didn ’ t com e easily, even in a four-gam e sweep. T he gritty W hite Sox had to scratch and claw for every w in all year, and O ctober w as no different. T h at’s w hat m akes their dom inant run through the postseason so rem arkable.

I can't share a lot of things with him.” Laila Ali, 27, who lives in Los Angeles, is an undefeated pro­ fessional boxer (21-0 with 18 knockouts). “He has his good days and his bad days,” she said. “He’s tak­ ing a lot of different medica­ tions. Sometimes, his speech is so slurred, you can’t hardly un­ derstand him. But he definitely knows what’s going on. That’s for sure. “He’s just taking life easy. He likes doing simple things. He loves to draw, he likes to color, he likes to clip pictures out of magazines. And he likes to do magic tricks. It doesn't take a whole lot to keep him entertained. But his at­ tention span is very short when the subject is some­ thing more than that. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself, so it’s hard to feel sorry for him.” Boxing great Muhammad Ali, who long has suffered from Parkinson’s disease, is getting worse, accord­ ing to his daughter, Laila.
