PROFESSOR
STAYS ON DUTY
AT AGE 100
NEW YORK (AP) —
When Brooklyn Law School
professors and alumni refer to
an “institution,” they might
very well be talking about
Professor Joseph Crea.
He’s taught generations of
students over more than six
decades, instilling legal precepts along with some pithy
tenets of his own, such as
“Never drop your briefcase
and run.”
He marked a milestone —
his 100th birthday — with a
gathering of colleagues and
friends Monday at the law
school where he’s been a student, librarian and professor
since 1944. Crea, whose
birthday was last month,
taught until September and
still advises faculty members,
sits on the admissions committee and attends faculty
meetings.
His secret to a long career?
“Stay well,” he said by phone.
“And make sure they don’t
know him as the public face and
driving force behind the team's
proposed move to Providence.
Skeffington, 73, died of an
apparent heart attack Sunday
while jogging near his home in
Barrington.
The Pawtucket Red Sox issued
a statement on Monday, saying,
“The PawSox family is deeply
saddened by the unexpected passing of Pawtucket Red Sox
President Jim Skeffington. Jim
was an extremely loyal and charitable man who, in his all too brief
time with the PawSox, relished his
new role as club president. He
enjoyed learning all he could
about the PawSox operation and
meeting fans, staff, and players.”

James J. Skeffington, Pawtucket Red Sox
owner and president, here describing his
plans for a new stadium in downtown
Providence to city and state officials on
April 15, died suddenly Sunday.
PAWTUCKET — The news of
the death of PawSox owner and
president James J. Skeffington has
elicited a flood of reactions not
only from colleagues and friends
and those who sit in the highest
seats in state government, but also
PawSox fans who had come to
the PawSox in Rhode Island and
sharing his vision for a new ballpark,” the organization said. “He
was a true Rhode Islander who
was devoted to his family and the
entire community at large. Our
condolences go out to Jim’s family and his many friends.”
Gov. Gina Raimondo also
issued a statement, saying, “It was
with great sadness that I learned
of Jim's passing. Jim was dedicated to his community and his family. His commitment to building a
stronger economy in Rhode Island
will have a lasting impact on our
state. My thoughts and prayers are
with his loved ones."

CUMBERLAND – A stubborn
fire making its way up into the
eaves and attic of a three-story
apartment building at 35 Titus St.
Sunday afternoon left eight residents uninjured but homeless,
according to fire officials.
Cumberland Fire Chief Kenneth
Finlay reported the 2:27 p.m. fire
was initially spotted by neighboring
residents when an outdoor light
bulb on the rear of the building
popped and flames were observed
coming from the fixture.
Finlay said the fire is believed
to have worked its way up spaces
in the balloon-constructed walls of
the building and spread into a void
in the roof soffit. The fire caused
heavy structural damage to the
building and is expected to result in
its demolition, according to Finlay.
“The town’s building inspector
has ordered it razed once the insurance company and the state Fire
Marshal’s Office have competed
their investigations of the fire,”
Finlay said.
The preliminary results point to
a possible accidental electrical
problem as a possible cause,
according to Finlay.
“Right now it is still under
investigation, with arson being
eliminated,” Finlay said. The Fire
Marshal’s Office was expected to
finalize a ruling on the cause within
the next couple of days, Finlay
said.
The building, which was undergoing renovations, had six apartments, with three of them occupied,
Finlay noted.
The Rhode Island Chapter of the
American Red Cross was assisting
the families with temporary housing until they could find new apartments, according to Finlay.
Cumberland fire units were
assisted at the scene by a ladder
truck from Saylesville in
Pawtucket, engine companies from
Lincoln, North Attleboro, and
Central Falls, and the Lincoln
Rescue in addition to the two
Cumberland rescues, according to
Finlay.
Assisting with coverage of local
stations were units from
Woonsocket, Limerock and
Attleboro, the chief noted.

PAWTUCKET – Police detectives were continuing a search for
a 20-year-old Cumberland man
believed to have been the shooter
in a gun violence incident at
Galego Court housing complex
early Saturday morning.
Mark Cruz, 20, was identified
through witnesses as the person
who allegedly wounded the victim following protracted argument outside an apartment at the
complex around 2:49 a.m. on
Saturday.
The victim, who police have
not identified, drove himself to
the hospital and was treated for
gunshot wounds, according Sgt.
Paul J. Brandley, a police
spokesman.
Brandley declined comment
Monday on the victim’s injuries
or the type of handgun used
while the suspect was still being
sought.
The victim was treated for
gunshot wounds at the hospital
and subsequently released,
Brandley said.
Brandley said police have had
prior contact with Cruz, and
noted a police photo of the suspect released in the attempt to
locate him had been taken in connection with his arrest for a
stolen vehicle charge. Cruz’s last
known address was at 288 Broad
St. in Cumberland, according to
Brandley.
Although Cruz was reported to
still be at large Monday evening,
Brandley said detectives did have

Obama stops passing
military gear to police
President hoping
move will ease
tensions in cities
By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press
CAMDEN, N.J. —
President Barack Obama
ended long-running federal
transfers of some combatstyle gear to local law
enforcement on Monday in
an attempt to ease tensions
between police and minority
communities, saying equipment made for the battlefield
should not be a tool of
American criminal justice.
Grenade launchers, bayonets, tracked armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft and
vehicles, firearms and
ammunition of .50-caliber or
higher will no longer be provided to state and local
police agencies by the federal government under
Obama’s order.

Skeffington
Grebien said, “While the City of
Pawtucket recognizes that we may
have had a difference of opinion
as it pertains to the Pawtucket Red
Sox and continuing to play at
McCoy Stadium, the city offers
it’s most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Mr. Skeffington's family during this difficult time. Mr.
Skeffington's passing is a reminder
to us all how precious and fragile
life can be."
Skeffington, a Providence attorney and Rhode Island power player, was the leader in the new ownership group of the Boston Red
Sox AAA team, and the face and
voice behind a proposed new $85
million stadium along the
Providence waterfront.
That plan to build a stadium on
riverfront land in downtown
Providence has been controversial.
The land is owned by the state and
was opened up by the relocation of
Interstate 195.
Last month, the team proposed
a deal under which they would pay
$85 million to build a stadium and
do other work on the state’s land.
But they asked for help from taxpayers to the tune of $120 million
over 30 years, and wanted to be
exempt from real estate taxes.
The plan landed with a thud.
Gov. Gina Raimondo said the plan
was not fair to taxpayers, and
many lawmakers came out against
it.
The team’s owners said this
month that they’re working on a
new approach, though they have
given no details.
Skeffington, in recent days, had
been visiting community groups
and others to talk about his vision.

Island attorney, worked on several

after an outcry over the use of riot
gear and armored vehicles by police
confronting protesters in Ferguson,
Missouri.
“It can alienate and intimidate
local residents and send the wrong
message,” he said.
Obama made his announcement
in Camden, New Jersey, where he
praised efforts by the police department to improve their relationship
with a poor community struggling
with violence.
With police under increased
scrutiny over highly publicized
deaths of black suspects nationwide,
Obama also unveiled the final report
of a task force he created to help
build confidence between police and
minority communities. And he
issued a broader appeal for
Americans to address racial disparities and the needs of poor communities before they erupt into disorder.
He also reiterated his call for
was one of our city's leading business and civic champions. We will
always remember his commitment
and contributions to our community.”
Chris Graham, managing partner at the law firm Locke Lord,
where Skeffington worked, said,
“Jim was a longtime friend and
partner to all of us, and we will
miss him dearly. He was a successful lawyer, visionary and
leader. Our thoughts and prayers
are with his family."
“On behalf of the Pawtucket
City Council I would like to
extend our sincere condolences to
Mr. Skeffington's family. Our
thoughts and prayers go out to him
and his family,” said Pawtucket
City Council President David P.
Moran. “From what I have read he
was a hard-working man, full of
passion and he had a vision for the
Pawtucket Red Sox. I may come
from a different perspective in
regards to the PawSox, but I certainly respected him for his
efforts.”
U.S. Senator Jack Reed said
Monday that he was deeply saddened to hear the news of
Skeffington’s death.
“Jim and I worked together at
Edwards & Angell in the 1980s.
He was a brilliant lawyer and a
genuine, kind person,” Reed said.
“Jim was passionate about Rhode
Island and dedicated to trying to
make our state a better place. His
civic-minded spirit will be missed
by all who knew him and whose
lives he touched.”
Laurie White, president of the
Greater Providence Chamber of
Commerce, called Skeffington, a
longtime Chamber board member,
an “irrepressible civic leader and
friend to so many.”
“He was a consummate and
tireless advocate for Rhode Island
who left a positive and lasting
where you learn what’s going
on in society,” he says.
One of his standout courses was on commercial paper,
or the law surrounding payment obligations such as
promissory notes and checks.
Another highlight, he told the
school magazine, was teaching tax law in the 1950s to a
overhauling sentencing practices for
nonviolent drug crimes.
“We can’t ask the police to be the
ones to solve the problem when
there are no able-bodied men in the
community or kids are growing up
without intact households,” he said.
In Camden, Obama visited the
police Real-Time Tactical
Operational Intelligence Center and
watched live video displays of city
neighborhoods being monitored by
officers. He also stopped by a community center where he met with
young people and local police officers.
Ahead of his Camden remarks,
Obama stopped briefly in nearby
Philadelphia to praise its police and
fire officials for their quick response
to last week’s deadly Amtrak wreck.
In addition to the prohibitions in
his order, Obama also is placing a
longer list of military equipment
under tighter control, including
wheeled armored vehicles like
Humvees, manned aircraft, drones,
specialized firearms, explosives, battering rams and riot batons, helmets
mark on our community,” she said.
“Jim's energy and passion were
evident in his unwavering support
for the Chamber's work to help
grow the local business community. His skillful leadership in many
of the seminal economic development projects in the state over the
past several decades exemplified
his extraordinary sense of service
and determined optimism about
Rhode Island. Jim will be much
missed but always remembered."
PawSox fans were also offering
their condolences Monday.
“As a citizen of Pawtucket and
a fan, I send my condolences and
prayers to the family, friends and
organization. God Bless you all,”
said Paris Fisher of Pawtucket.
James J. Skeffington, Jr. on
behalf of the Skeffington family,
said, “Jim was blessed with
extraordinary talents which he
used to serve the community he
loved. He was a legend in the legal
community and an advisor to business leaders and government officials for nearly 50 years. Yet,
despite the demands of a busy law
practice, he made the time to serve
on the boards of some of Rhode
Island’s most important educational and charitable institutions. And,
he made it part of his life to reach
out to individuals enduring difficult times in everyday life. He quietly came to the aid of many, asking nothing in return.”
“The essence of Jim’s life was a
strong devotion to his faith, to his
family, and to his friends. With
boundless energy and enthusiasm
Jim enriched the lives of all
around him. We have been overwhelmed by the kind thoughts and
messages from so many friends.
We ask God’s blessing for Jim and
all who loved him.”

Outside the classroom,
Crea has written a legal
research guide and served on
and shields. Starting in October,
police will have to get approval from
their city council, mayor or some
other local governing body to obtain
such equipment, provide a persuasive explanation of why it is needed
and have more training and data collection on its use.
Programs that transfer surplus
military-style equipment from the
Pentagon and other federal agencies
have been around for decades, but
Congress increased spending to help
departments acquire the gear in the
wake of the 9/11 terror attacks.
The issue of police militarization
rose to prominence last year after a
white police officer in Ferguson
fatally shot unarmed black 18-yearold Michael Brown, sparking
protests. Critics questioned why
police in full body armor with
armored trucks responded to dispel
demonstrators, and Obama seemed
to sympathize when ordering a
review of the programs that provide
the equipment.

those lines blurred,” Obama said in
August.
The review, published in
December, showed five federal
agencies spent $18 billion on programs that provided equipment,
including 92,442 small arms, 44,275
night-vision devices, 5,235
Humvees, 617 mine-resistant vehicles and 616 aircraft. At the time, the
White House defended the programs
as proving to be useful in many
cases, such as the response to the
Boston Marathon bombing. Instead
of repealing the programs, Obama
issued an executive order that
required federal agencies that run the
programs to consult with law
enforcement and civil rights and
civil liberties organizations to recommend changes that make sure
they are accountable and transparent.
The report from the 21st Century
Policing task force has a long list of
recommendations to improve trust in
police, including encouraging more
transparency about interactions with
the public.

Prestigious award goes to Pawtucket trio
Locals recognized by Roman Catholic Diocese for service to church and community
By JOSEPH FITZGERALD
[email protected]
PAWTUCKET – Three Pawtucket
natives, including a Saint Raphael
Academy student who volunteers at
the Pawtucket Soup Kitchen, are the
recipients of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Providence’s Lumen
Gentium Award, which recognizes
service to the Church and community.
The trio, Daniel Arteaga, Raymond
Gannon and Joseph Rabbitt, will be
recognized at a dinner Wednesday at 6
p.m. at the Twin River Event Center
in Lincoln.
“These individuals, through their
selfless efforts, represent outstanding
examples of Christian service here in
the diocese,” said Bishop Thomas J.
Tobin. “This award provides a unique
opportunity to acknowledge those
who work tirelessly in service to the
Church and ask for nothing in return.”
Artega will receive the Lumen
Gentium Award for Distinguished
Catholic Youth. A student at Saint
Raphael Academy, he is a leader in
the Lasallian Youth Program there and
serves as a lector at St. John Paul II

Submitted photo
Saint Raphael Academy student and
award winner Daniel Artega
Paul II Parish, began his long time
public service in the 1960’s serving on
various city boards and agencies. He
served as assistant director of Public
Housing where he worked hard to
improve public housing in Pawtucket.
After his retirement from public life,
Gannon began serving his community
where he worked tirelessly with others
to open a soup kitchen to help those
less fortunate. The Pawtucket Soup
Kitchen serves hot meals six days a
week to those in need.
Rabbitt will receive the Lumen
Gentium Award for Administration
and Stewardship. His work in
fundraising for the parish has been a
tremendous asset in the area of parish
stewardship by finding creative and
successful ways to raise money for St.
Teresa Parish. A little over 12 years
ago, he had the idea to bring largescale yard sales to the parish, which
has generated more than $300,000.
This year more than 100 nominations for the Lumen Gentium Award
were accepted for consideration in 10
categories, including administration
and stewardship, community service
and charitable outreach, Catholic education, communications, distinguished
Catholic youth, evangelization, friend
of the diocese, parish service, public
service and respect life.
Proceeds from Wednesday’s award
ceremony will benefit diocesan
Catholic schools to help make a
Catholic education more affordable
for students whose families face
financial challenges.
The diocese presented the first
Lumen Gentium awards in 2013, raising $50,000 through the dinner to
benefit the Emmanuel House homeless shelter in South Providence. Last
year, the dinner raised about $75,000,
with the proceeds donated to 75 food
pantries, soup kitchens and nutritional
programs serving those in need across
the diocese.

Bias too weak an excuse
to deny marriage to all
What’s the marriage equality debate
really about?
Proponents see it as a question of
equality. There’s no reason, they say, not
to let loving, same-sex couples wed.
Opponents frame the issue as a fight
over whether the courts have the right to
change their definition of marriage — one
purportedly embraced for thousands of
years.
Although a clear majority of
Americans now support same-sex marriage, the longevity of discrimination
appears to have some traction among
Supreme Court justices considering the
issue.
Even the liberal Justice Stephen Breyer
seemed disturbed by the “millennia” issue
in arguments before the court. The oneman, one-woman definition of marriage
“has been the law everywhere for thousands of years,” Breyer suggested uneasily to lawyers arguing for marriage equality. And “suddenly you want nine people
outside the ballot box” to change that.
Breyer seems to have forgotten that the
nine people on the Supreme Court have
changed many things about our society.
Ignoring the ballot box and the desires of
most Americans, they found that school
segregation violated the constitutional
rights of African-American children and
struck it down.
Nine people decided that the laws limiting marriage to people of the same race
violated our Constitution as well.
But as for “traditional” marriage,
Justice Anthony Kennedy asserted, “This
definition has been with us for millennia.
And it’s very difficult for the court to say
‘Oh well, we know better.’”
Actually, we do know better.
Beliefs hallowed by tradition have
included the legitimacy of slavery, hatred
of Jews, and male dominance of government and society. Here are some other
pernicious beliefs with lengthy pedigrees:
that whites are superior to people of
color, that the upper classes are a better
breed than everyone else, and that women
GUEST COMMENTARY
By Mitchell Zimmerman
have no separate legal existence or rights
apart from their husbands.
In most societies, for most of recorded
history, marriage was basically the institution through which a man possessed
and controlled his wife — or wives — to
ensure the suitable inheritance of his
property and power. Does that matter in
the 21st century?
In much of the world, including our
own country until quite recently, the law
also allowed men to rape their wives with
legal impunity. Should the courts that
first struck down this traditional “right”
have been daunted by the fact that it had
been that way since time immemorial?
Some of the bygone features of marriage were changed by voters, others by
judges. In our constitutional system,
judges have the power — and the duty —
to recognize people’s rights. That’s true
even when it’s unpopular, and even when
a malign discrimination has a long history.
This means that the Supreme Court
must address the one fundamental question at issue: Is there any good reason
why people of the same gender shouldn’t
be allowed to marry each other?
In the end, the case against same-sex
marriage rests on some people’s belief, no
longer shared by most Americans, that
God is against it. Those who believe this
have no right to impose their view on
society.
Whether it’s religious or secular, recent
or ancient, naked bias can’t justify denying anyone the right to the equal protection of the law guaranteed by our
Constitution. The Supreme Court should
rule accordingly.

Subsidizing the idle rich
while poor kids go hungry
To hear some politicians tell it,
America’s welfare system is facing a
grave crisis: Millions of poor people, they
say, are idling away their time eating lobster and relaxing on cruises.
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, for
example, recently signed welfare reform
rules banning people receiving public
assistance from using their $100 a week
in benefits to buy steak or seafood, go to
swimming pools, or take cruises.
Meanwhile, some members of
Congress are taking aim at food aid for
hungry Americans. They want us to associate “hungry” with “too lazy to work.”
They’re lashing at an imaginary problem.
Who benefits from the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),
otherwise known as food stamps? Nearly
half of recipients are children, 16 percent
are disabled adults who can’t work, and 9
percent are senior citizens.
Nearly a third of people who get food
stamps have a family member who is
working, many at big box retailers like
Wal-Mart or fast food establishments.
These folks may not be able to get
enough hours to work full-time, or their
employers pay them so little that even
with a full-time schedule, they can’t pay
for rent and utilities and still afford
enough food for the family.
Even 5,000 active-duty military families rely on public assistance because
their pay is not enough to raise a family
on.
But that’s only half the problem.
While these politicians are restricting
the public assistance that many
Americans use to make ends meet,
they’re also busy cutting taxes for the idle
rich — who, as it happens, already have
plenty of disposable income for expensive seafood and luxury cruises.
The House, for example, just passed a
bill repealing the estate tax.
That tax affects just one out of every
700 estates left by Americans who die
each year, but it’s a crucial source of revenue.
Repealing it will save the nation’s
multi-millionaires and billionaires about
$27 billion a year. It means that the heirs
to the Wal-Mart fortune — who’ve collectively inherited nearly $150 billion in
wealth — will pass on nearly $60 billion
more to their kids when they die.
Opponents of the estate tax claim that
GUEST COMMENTARY
By Scott Klinger
it prevents people from passing on family
farms or small businesses, but that’s nonsense.
In 2013, the feds taxed just 120 estates
that were comprised primarily of a farm
or a small business, according to the Tax
Policy Center. These families paid an
average tax rate of less than 5 percent.
Meanwhile, the tax code remains
stacked against working families. The
idle rich who live off investments pay a
maximum rate of 20 percent on dividends
and gains. Working parents, though, can
pay nearly double that.
One out of every five children in
America lives in poverty. In the wealthiest country in the world, nearly 16 million of our children and nearly 5 million
of our elders lack food security.
But congressional leaders think the
first piece of business should be to ensure
that those who pay little in life leave
nothing of their great fortunes to the common good after they die.
Hard-hearted politicians think that if
they paint the people who get food
stamps as lazy and undeserving, it will
blind us to what’s really going on:
They’re handing out more tax cuts for
those who can afford caviar and champagne and more budget cuts for those trying to put the bare essentials on their
kitchen tables.

Revenue and Spending Policies at the

Loyalty to his brother
leaves Jeb in major bind
Am I the only person outside the Bush
family who has a smidgen of empathy for
Jeb Bush’s roller-coaster ride in trying to
answer a straightforward question: Was
going to war in Iraq the right thing to do?
It’s hard to go much beyond “smidgen”
because it remains astonishing that Bush
hadn’t worked out long in advance how
he’d grapple with an inevitable query about
the invasion his brother launched. Jeb’s
responses over four days were, as The
Post’s Philip Rucker and Ed O’Keefe
wrote, “wavering, uncertain and incongruous.”
The saga began when Fox News’s
Megyn Kelly asked Bush
if, knowing all we know
now, he would have gone
to war. “I would have,
and so would have
Hillary Clinton, just to
remind everybody,” Bush
replied. “And so would
have almost everybody
that was confronted with
E.J. Dionne
the intelligence they got.”
Bang! The political
world, including conservatives who had
strongly supported George W.’s foreign
policy, came down on him hard. After
going this way and that, Jeb admitted
defeat on Thursday. He mixed the first-person singular and plural with the second
person in, finally, responding to Kelly’s
original question. “Knowing what we know
now, what would you have done? I would
have not engaged. I would not have gone
into Iraq.”
So why have any sympathy for him at
all? The main reason is very old-fashioned:
His apparent reluctance to cast his own
brother into the darkness. In justifying his
initial answer, Bush later used his own
reframing of Kelly’s words as an excuse,
explaining he hadn’t understood the “know
now” part. But it’s just as possible that he
knew perfectly well what Kelly had asked
— Jeb Bush is not stupid — and hoped he
could get away with answering a different
question to avoid being disloyal to George
W.
Loyalty is a virtue in rather short supply
in our culture, so I admire it when I see it.
Of course it can be misplaced. There are
times when other virtues should trump it.
But loyalty does matter, and I have some
respect for Jeb for trying to stay true to his
family ties over four utterly miserable
days.
Still, there are more important issues
here than family. Bush’s agony isn’t over
because Iraq raises profound questions not
only for him but also for all of his GOP
opponents. If Bush’s initial answer about
the war was wrong and his most recent
answer was right, this means that opponents of the war were also right. They
included a young Illinois state senator,
Barack Obama, who predicted in 2002 that
“even a successful war against Iraq will
require a U.S. occupation of undetermined
length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.”
Many of the war’s staunchest supporters
understand that they can never concede that
Obama was right because doing so would
undermine their ongoing defense of a
hyperinterventionist foreign policy. That’s
why some of them remain unrepentant. “I
believed in it then,” former vice president
Dick Cheney said of the war to Politico’s
Mike Allen last July. “I look back on it
now, it was absolutely the right thing to
do.”
Bill Kristol, one of the war’s leading
promoters, told CNN last June: “I’m not
apologizing for something that I think was
not wrong. I think going to war to remove
Saddam was the right thing to do and necessary and just thing to do.” Donald
Rumsfeld, George W.’s first secretary of
defense, said that it would have been
“immoral” not to go to Iraq.
But other hawks would rather see the
was-the-Iraq-War-right question magically
disappear because they know it’s a no-win
for them. Most Americans now think the
war was ill-advised. Why remind them that
most of the same people who are super
hawks now brought them an adventure they
deeply regret? Thus did the Wall Street
Journal editorial page on Friday come out
firmly and unequivocally in favor of —
evasion. “The right answer to the question
is that it’s not a useful or instructive one to
answer, because statesmanship, like life, is
not conducted in hindsight.”
Sorry, but inquiring minds will want all
the candidates to offer straight answers.
This means that Bush’s Republican opponents will have to do more than trash his
botched dodging. Bush at least had the
excuse that he didn’t want to speak ill of
his brother. The rest of them still need to
explain how their own views of the past
relate to where they’ll take us in the future.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston's troubled bid for the 2024 Olympics took
another ding Monday, when a key
U.S. Olympic leader suggested the
city was no sure thing to remain the
American candidate to bid for the
games.
U.S. Olympic Committee board
member Angela Ruggiero was the
first in the federation's leadership
group to suggest anything other than
the USOC's unwavering support. Her
comments came during a Q&A that
followed her prepared remarks at a
Boston city council meeting devoted
to the bid.
She said the USOC is working
hard to make sure Boston succeeds in
its attempt to bid for the games. But
in a nod to the always-fluid nature of
Olympic politics, she said the federation was still vetting Boston to make
sure it was the right city to bid, and
there was no guarantee.
The USOC chose Boston as its
candidate city in January but doesn't
have to make that selection official
until the International Olympic
Committee's deadline of Sept. 15.
Ruggiero did not immediately return
a telephone message left by The
Associated Press.
The comment from the four-time
Olympian, former Harvard hockey
player and IOC member came as the
city deals with a leadership team that
hasn't found its footing, along with
polls that show fewer than half the
city's residents are in favor of hosting
the Summer Games.
In a statement he has previously
issued twice this month, USOC CEO
Scott Blackmun reiterated the federation's support for the Boston bid and
said there was no truth to rumors and
reports that the USOC is considering
other options.
"Boston can deliver a great
games," Blackmun said.
But the IOC's Sept. 15 deadline
has left plenty of room for speculation that the USOC could pull the
plug on Boston and sit out the race, or
choose a new candidate, such as Los
Angeles.
Boston, Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Washington were the
finalists in a domestic race that lasted
about two years.
Rome and Hamburg, Germany, are
already in the international race, with
other cities expected to join. The
2024 Olympics will be awarded in
2017.
City Council President Bill
Linehan, the chair of the committee
considering the 2024 Olympics, said
he took Ruggiero's message not as a
threat but as an encouragement for
the city to get to work on the bid.
Man in prison 21 years to be freed pending new murder trial
SALEM, Mass. (AP) — A man
who has spent 21 years behind bars
for a murder he says he did not commit will be released from prison until
a new trial can be held, a state judge
ruled Monday.
Essex County Superior Court
Judge David Lowy officially vacated
a life sentence imposed on Angel
Echavarria for the 1994 shooting
death of Daniel Rodriguez in Lynn.
Echavarria, 48, will be required to
wear a GPS monitoring device and
remain in Massachusetts pending the
new trial, according to Essex County
District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's
office. He will also not be allowed to
obtain a passport.
Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a
spokeswoman for Blodgett, said
Echavarria will be released from the
courthouse after being outfitted with
the monitoring device. She said
Blodgett's office is reviewing the case
to determine whether it will appeal
the judge's decision to grant a new
trial or simply move to try the case
again.
The new trial was prompted by a
decade long investigation by the
Schuster Institute for Investigative
Journalism at Brandeis University.

In brief
Providence hookah bar to remain
closed after fatal shooting
PROVIDENCE (AP) —
Providence's Board of Licenses has
unanimously voted to keep a city
hookah bar closed following a fatal
shooting there.
The board decided Monday to
keep Pasha Hookah Bar closed at
least until Wednesday. The bar was
closed for a 72-hour “cooling off
period” after 22-year-old Kevin
Mann Jr. died and 32-year-old Aaron
Smith was injured in a shooting outside the establishment just after midnight Friday.
Lawyers for the bar suggested it
be reopened Monday, but the board
disagreed.
Attorney Peter Petrarca, who represents the bar, says the board's decision has already been appealed to the
Department of Business Regulation.
Residents say the bar has been a
nuisance for several years.
The board has scheduled another
meeting on the bar's license for
Wednesday afternoon.
Rhode Island Mall to be sold,
not turned into outlet
WARWICK (AP) — City officials
say the owners of the Rhode Island
Mall are no longer planning to convert the property into a retail outlet.
Co-owners Winstanley Enterprises
and Surrey Equities now plan to sell
the property, the state's first suburban
mall. The partners were planning to
convert the two-story mall into an
indoor outlet.
The mall's close proximity to
other outlets in Massachusetts and
Connecticut made it impractical.
Karen Jedson, who leads economic
development efforts for Warwick
Mayor Scott Avedisian, said no new
plans for the property have been submitted to the city.
Baltimore-based MCB Real
Estate is now planning to buy the
property. Company officials say it's
too soon to talk about potential tenants, renovations or concepts for the
mall.
The 450,000-square-foot mall was
last purchased for $38 million in
November 2012.
Puiblic viewing for King Friday
in Vegas before Mississippi burial
Raphael Tenthani,
Malawi journalist, 43
JOHANNESBURG (AP)
— One of Malawi's most
prominent journalists was
killed in a car accident, his
family said on Sunday.
Raphael Tenthani, a contributor for The Associated
Press and the BBC, was
killed in a car accident outside of Malawi's commercial
center Blantyre on Saturday
at about 9 p.m., his brother
Kizito Tenthani said by telephone.
Tenthani, 43, was returning home after visiting his
mother about 180 kilometers
(about 112 miles) away from
his home, when the car he
was travelling in overturned,
said his brother.
Tenthani's two sons were
injured in the accident and
have since been discharged
from hospital, said his brother. The driver and another
passenger also had minor
injuries.
Several Malawian newspapers reported on the death
of the columnist and press
freedom activist.
With his weekly column,
“Muckraking on Sunday,”
Tenthani debated social challenges, often skewering
politicians. Tenthani “had the
courage to speak in a
silenced land and braved all
the insults that come with
being a watchdog,” wrote
fellow columnist, Thom
Chiumia, who credited
Tenthani as a mentor.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A
public viewing and private
family funeral for blues
legend B.B. King will be
held in Las Vegas before
his body is sent to
Mississippi for burial, his
business manager said
Monday.
Fans the world over
have been grieving since
the guitar genius dubbed
the King of the Blues died
Thursday at his Las Vegas
home at age 89.
King will be buried on
the grounds of the B.B.
King Museum and Delta
Interpretive Center in his
hometown of Indianola,
Mississippi, said Allen
Hammons, a member of
the museum board of directors.
The public viewing will
be held from 3 to 7 p.m.
Friday at Palm Mortuary
West in Las Vegas, King's
business agent, LaVerne
Toney, told The Associated
Press.
People will be able pass
King's open casket, but
there won't be seating or a
memorial service during
the viewing, mortuary manager Matthew Phillips said.
A private service for
family members will be at
11 a.m. Saturday at the
larger downtown Palm
Mortuary chapel, which
seats 400. Toney and
Phillips said the media will
be excluded.
Toney, King's business
manager of 39 years, has
power-of-attorney over
King's affairs. She said she
expects by Tuesday to have
arrangements for King's
funeral and burial next
week in Indianola.
King was hospitalized
several times in recent
weeks before he died of a
series of small strokes
attributable to his longstanding battle with Type 2
diabetes, his physician and
the coroner in Las Vegas
said.
A hospice nurse and
King's tour manager and
personal assistant, Myron
Johnson, were at King's
bedside when he died, said
Brent Bryson, a lawyer
who represented King in a
guardianship dispute with
several of the musician's 11
surviving adult children.
King was born as Riley
B. King on Sept. 16, 1925,
to sharecropper parents. He
was married several times
and had 15 natural and
adopted children.
Daughters Shirley King
of Chicago, and Rita
Washington, Patty King
and Karen Williams, all of
North Las Vegas, complained that Toney prevented them from visiting their
father in his final days.

THE TIMES A7
Husband’s caring ministry
doesn’t extend to his wife
DEAR ABBY:
I have been married to the
same man for 20 years. He
likes having people around
ALL the time, and because he
is a minister, we often can’t
avoid it. I have tried to accommodate his friends and hangers-on, but lately it’s becoming
unbearable. He will say “yes”
to people who have been evicted, and I find myself sharing
living quarters with perfect
strangers or church members
without prior notice.
I have tried over the years
to make sense of his attitude
toward me (also toward those
he’s offered help). I feel he
cares for others and what they
think of him more than what I
feel or think. When I complain about his latest live-in’s
attitude — or anything — he
brushes every issue aside and
basically tells me to be a good
Christian.
Right now, we have a family of three sharing our threeroom house with us and our
three boys. I’m thinking of
leaving him when the youngest
one is 13. I don’t want to hurt
my kids. How can I explain to
them that their “nice” dad is
unreasonable and irresponsible with money, and I can’t
bear it anymore?
— REACHED MY
LIMIT IN NIGERIA
DEAR REACHED: I suspect your problems “come
with the territory” of being
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
married to a minister. But a
caring husband would respect
and consult his wife before
inviting houseguests into their
home.
If you finally decide you
are so unhappy you need to
leave, be honest with your
sons. The way you have
expressed your reasons to me
are clear and well stated.
Because they have grown up
with things always having been
this way, they may think it is
normal. Or, you may find they
agree with you.
DEAR JANE: If you would
like to know his reasons for
not accepting your proposal,
the person you must ask is
him. While you feel ready to
make a lifetime commitment,
your boyfriend apparently hasn’t reached that stage of life.
I know you’re disappointed,
but life doesn’t always go the
way we predict it will.
(Sometimes it turns out even
better!) So please don’t try to
change yourself to accommodate someone who is emotionally unavailable. You could
twist yourself into a pretzel,
but it wouldn’t work because
DEAR ABBY:
I am a young woman who
proposed to my high school
sweetheart after graduating
from college. It may seem odd
for a woman to do, but I initiated our relationship in high
school and then attended an
Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Sometimes sighing is an
expression of letting go, and
other times sighing is an indicator of psychic pain and longing. Right now, your sigh is one
of relief. You did the work.
Now rest.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You can take appropriate feedback, but you're not sure the
criticism coming at you today
fits that description. It certainly doesn't feel appropriate, and
it's not coming from anyone
who knows and has been there.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Regarding a certain female
in your life: You have long forgotten the root of your anger. If
that doesn't qualify for a good
reason to let it go, what does?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You'll reach your destination as
long as you have a specific
point to aim for and a crew to
help you get there. Today is for
making strategic partnerships.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Listening intently is one of the
greatest gifts you can give.
You'll find it easy to do
because you are so genuinely
fascinated with the person who
comes into your realm today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Is it easier for you to forgive an
enemy or a friend? This is the
question you'll face now,
because you realize that to
move forward, you're going to
have to forgive someone.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You'll be teaching others,
and you have a knack for
imparting your knowledge
effectively. The trick is to make
it as simple as possible but not
any simpler than that.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). When you know
you're right, you stay your
course regardless of the danger,
though you prefer to avoid
peril when possible. When
you're not sure, don't feel pressured to make a decision.
Learn all that you can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Intentional or not,
when people interrupt or break
eye contact, it doesn't feel
good to the other person.
Knowing this, you give others
a quality of attention that's
stellar.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Some talk and others do.
The person who can deliver on
both the conversational and
practical levels will be hard to
find now, so decide what's
most important to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Keep an open mind,
because if you stay somewhat
flexible, your plans are likely
to give way to something bigger. A well-timed collaboration
will yield results and be worth
the patience it takes to pursue.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You honor timelines and
commitments, and that's why
you're such an integral part of
your team. Without you, the
goods wouldn't be delivered in
as timely a fashion.
all-women’s college. Suffice it
to say, he said he wasn’t going
to be the “one.”
I can’t understand why he
rejected me, and I don’t know
what to do now. I thought I
was making a sound decision
choosing my friend because he
is an engineer. Could it be that
he doesn’t regard me as a
good enough partner because
I have an art degree, or could
it be insecurity on his part?
I can’t imagine why he
doesn’t want to marry at this
stage in life.
We are 23. We were together for four years, and for both
of us, this was our longest relationship. Part of me wonders,
if I change, will he change his
mind? Or does this seem like a
hopeless case?

St. Raphael Academy’s Kaylee Sylvestre had a fine game against unbeaten Moses Brown on Monday, but didn’t get a lot of help from her
teammates. The senior scattered five hits and struck out six from the circle, and at the plate had the Saints’ lone base hit on the day.

PROVIDENCE – More
often than not, and especially
after a defeat, softball coaches
choose to take their teams to an
outfield spot to deliver their feelings about the game just contested.
When asked if St. Raphael
Academy coach Ron LaBree
wanted to do such following a
dismal 4-0 Division II-East loss
to still-perfect Moses Brown at
Moran Field on Monday afternoon, he simply waved his hand.
Had his Saints managed a
victory, they not only would’ve
spoiled the Quakers’ unbeaten
streak, but also climbed into a
first-place tie with them.
“I told the girls over and over
again not to swing at anything
above their hands, but they kept
doing it,” he said of his lineup’s

Mary Beth Mennucci assisted on the play.
WARWICK – Even with Monday’s 9-1 setback to unbeaten Bishop Hendricken,
Woonsocket would still be a postseason participant if the regular season ended today.
A closer look reveals that the 6-8 Villa
Novans occupy the seventh available playoff
spot in Division I-A. A total of eight berths are
handed out.
Looking ahead, Woonsocket’s four remaining games are against teams ahead of them in
the standings. The race to the finish line revs
up Wednesday at home against Pilgrim with a
road game at North Providence on tap
Wednesday. Next week brings matchups
against Lincoln on Tuesday and La Salle on
Thursday.
“It’s not an easy road,” said Villa Novans
head coach Paul Murphy. “We definitely have
our work cut out for us, that’s for sure.”
Hendricken (14-0) broke out the offense
early as three straight doubles resulted in two
first-inning runs. Woonsocket did get one run
back in the top of the second behind a leadoff
base hit by senior Josh Mousseau and a RBI
groundout by junior Evan Masse.
Instead of tossing up zeros on the scoreboard, the Villa Novans could only watch as
the home team struck for two runs in the bottom of the second with three more runs coming

Clippers cruise past Portsmouth, 9-3
CUMBERLAND – Junior southpaw Chris Wright yielded just an infield
hit and struck out four in five full
innings to propel Cumberland High to a
9-3 Division I-B victory over
Portsmouth at Tucker Field on Monday.
Then again, the Clippers made it easier for him, especially after plating a
whopping seven in the back half of the
third.
In the end, junior Josh Brodeur finished 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs
scored, while senior Kyle Opiekun went
2-for-3 with a run and classmate Tyler
Calabro an RBI triple and run in that
wild third.
Zach Fogell and Brandon Croteau
combined to yield three harmless runs
to the Patriots in the sixth and seventh.
With the verdict, the Clippers
improved to 9-4 in league action, and
Wright a perfect 4-0.

LINCOLN – When first-place
Davies Tech travels to third-place
North Smithfield for a key Division IINorth showdown at 3:45 p.m.,
Wednesday, there will be a more at
stake than just a chance at the league
crown.
The two head coaches – Scott
Cooper of the Patriots and Paul
Mercier with the Northmen – have
chosen to play to raise breast cancer
awareness.
“The past couple of years, we
haven’t had one of these charity games
like we had previously, and we really
wanted to have another one,” Cooper
said. “I talked to our girls and Paul to
his, and we both decided this would be
a great time. All the kids were in favor
of it.
“Girls from both sides will wear
their hot-pink socks, and the coaches
will wear pink shirts,” he added. “The
fans are asked to do the same, and we
will be asking them for donations to
help find a cure for breast cancer.”
Davies will take a 9-3 league record
into the pivotal tilt, while North
Smithfield will attempt to improve
upon its 6-6 mark.

THE TIMES B3
Skeffington
Continued from page B1
“This may well be one of the best
and most talented teams we’ve had
in the history of the franchise – and
it’s a storied history,” Skeffington
said. “If you’re a baseball fan and
you come to Pawtucket, you’re
going to see high-quality baseball
that’s just a step below major-league
baseball.”
A devoted follower of the
prospect lists that Baseball America
compiles, Skeffington noted that of
the top 10 Red Sox minor leaguers
ranked by the publication, eight were
slated to begin the season in a
PawSox uniform.
Members of the Pawtucket front
office will tell you Skeffington was
very much in-tune with the roster
and quite interested in what was
unfolding with the players and
coaches on a daily basis. Those
working inside the walls at McCoy
also say that Skeffington had a
strong desire to learn all the ins and
outs of the team’s operations.
Skeffington was a frequent participant and eager listener in the front
office’s weekly staff meetings.
Since buying the team, he also
made several treks to other
International League cities to learn
more about the best practices at their
stadiums, so that he could bring
them home to Rhode Island.
“We’re going to go to school and
take what’s best out of all of them
and try and bring them into our ballpark,” Skeffington said on the day he
gave a walking tour of the proposed
parcel of downtown Providence land
“that would accommodate the type
of ballpark we want to build.”
His enthusiasm extended to the
local college teams, as he sought to
invite the football teams of Brown,
Bryant and URI take turns playing in
the Providence stadium.
His proposal for a new stadium
was controversial and perhaps justifiably so, as Rhode Island taxpayers
would be on the hook for a big bill.
But if people could set aside that
idea for a moment, it would be possible to see Skeffington’s goals for a
ballpark in a different light – trying
to make the very best experience
possible for present and future generations of sports fans.
However you wish to remember
him, know this: even after becoming
the team president, Jim Skeffington
still had an awful lot in common
with the folks who pass through the
turnstiles at McCoy.

approach to freshman righty Janel
Gamache, who whirled a stellar,
complete-game one-hitter with a
walk and 10 whiffs. “We didn’t play
our game; we played hers.
“I think, if we had more discipline at the plate, we would’ve been
OK, but we didn’t have much,” he
said. “I kept saying, ‘If the first
pitch is right down the pipe, then go
for it!’ Instead, they’d watch it, and
then (Gamache) would get ahead in
the count and we’d be at her mercy.
She’d throw the riseball, and it
threw off our timing.”
Complementing Gamache’s fine
outing in the circle was senior batterymate Lydia DeAngelo, who
went 3-for-3 with a double, three
RBI and a run scored. Freshman
Sabrina Liston helped that cause,
going 1-for-3 with a two-bagger and
an RBI, as Moses Brown improved
to 13-0.
The Saints fell to 11-2, but senior
righthander Kaylee Sylvestre didn’t
pitch poorly. After opening with
three straight walks, she later yielded just five hits and struck out six.
But that trio of walks – to sophomore Alexis Sangermano, senior
Catalina Mazo and Gamache – in
the back half of the first came back
to haunt SRA. DeAngelo rapped a
ground single to left to plate the first
two, though Sylvestre got out of the
inning with a pair of strikeouts and
a flyout.
The visitors finally got something
going in the top of the third when
junior Haley Mitsmenn struck out,
but took second on an ensuing
catcher’s error. She later took second on a passed ball and third on
Gamache’s lone wild pitch before
the latter struck out junior Brianne
O’Rourke and senior Ashley
Simmons, then forced Sylvestre to
pop out to the circle.

Bryant’s McCarthy
named NEC Player
of the Week
SMITHFIELD – Junior
catcher Buck McCarthy has
named the Northeast
Conference Player of the
Week after helping the Bryant
University baseball team
claim its fourth-straight
Northeast Conference
Regular-Season title last
weekend.
It is the second honor of
the season for McCarthy who
was also named player of the
week on April 20. With the
regular-season title on the line
this past weekend, McCarthy
went 6-for-15 with two doubles, two home runs, seven
RBI and three runs scored. He
hit a solo home run to open
the scoring in Bryant's victory
in game one before spearheading an offensive outburst in
game three of the series to
clinch the title.
floated a high fly to right, but
Simmons dropped it, allowing her to
scamper into second. DeAngelo followed with her second straight hit,
this one a rope to center to score
Gamache and make it 3-0.
SRA, however, had another
superb opportunity to get on the
board in the fourth when junior
Kamryn LaBree walloped a one-out,
deep fly to left-center, but sophomore Lauren Bamonte dropped it,
allowing LaBree to coast into second.
Gamache nevertheless fanned
sophomore clean-up batter Haley
Howarth, then got junior Lauren
Taylor to ground to third.
The Quakers’ pitcher did walk
her first batter, senior Alexis Vieira,
to open the fifth, and Mitsmenn
reached on a fielder’s choice, but
Gamache stoned that potential rally
with two strikeouts.
The Saints didn’t need long to
ruin Gamache’s bid for a no-hitter,
as Sylvestre ripped a leadoff single
to right to start the sixth. Senior
Mary Beth Mennucci then attempted
a sacrifice bunt, but sophomore third
baseman Alexis Sangermano
plucked it off the grass and threw to
first to catch Sylvestre off the bag
for the timely double play.
The hosts collected their final run
in the sixth, and it came about in
most unusual fashion. Mazo flew to
right for the initial out, and
Gamache did the same, though the
ball was dropped. She tried to take
the middle bag on the error, but
Mennucci snatched the ball and
threw to LaBree for the tag.
With two down, DeAngelo whistled her double to right-center, one
that clipped sophomore Haley
Howarth’s glove, and Lisbon’s
bloop two-bagger plated her.
“I thought Kaylee, Kamryn and
Alexis Vieira had some discipline at
the plate, but no one else,” the elder
LaBree said. “We were going up
there to swing, not to hit. Like I
said, we played their game, not
ours.”
When asked if he witnessed any
ing double play in the sixth
after having runners on first
and second and no outs.
“We were hitting sporadically but we were never able
to put anything together,” said
Murphy.

two hits for the Novans.

NBA
West Finals a recap of MVP talk
between Warriors and Rockets
ANTONIO GONZALEZ
AP Basketball Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. — The
MVP race was decided weeks
ago. Newly crowned Stephen
Curry and runner-up James
Harden insist there’s a bigger
prize they’ve wanted all
along.
Now is their chance to
compete for it.
Curry and the top-seeded
Golden State Warriors will
meet Harden and the rejuvenated Houston Rockets in the
Western Conference finals
beginning Tuesday night.
The Baby-Faced Assassin
starring opposite the Bearded
One is a scintillating subplot
to a series that should feature
a frenetic pace and a ton of 3point shots. But when the ball
is tossed amid a sea of
screaming fans in golden-yellow shirts at Oracle Arena,
only one thing will be on the
minds of the leading men.
“We’re four wins away
from getting to the Finals and
one step closer to our dream,”
Curry said. “There’s one team
in our way to get there.
That’s it.”
The Warriors went 4-0
against the Rockets in the
regular season, winning by an
average of 15.3 points. But a
lot has changed for Houston
since the teams last played
Jan. 21.
Dwight Howard sat out
two meetings and is playing
as well as he has in years.
Josh Smith has found his
groove and starters Patrick
Beverley and Donatas
Motiejunas are out with
injuries.
“We’re a new team,”
Harden said. “It’s a new
series.”
The Warriors rolled to a
franchise-record 67 wins in
the regular season, finishing
11 games ahead of secondplace Houston. Golden State
is in the conference finals for
the first time since 1976, a
year after winning the franchise’s only Bay Area title.
The Rockets are in the
conference finals for the first
time since 1997. Houston
hasn’t been to the NBA
Finals since winning back-toback titles in 1994 and 1995.
The offensive sets vary
between the teams, but the
overall philosophy is similar:
make stops, push the pace
and spread the floor with
shooters.
“That’s our brand of basketball,” Warriors forward
Draymond Green said. “And
we feel like we’re really good
at our brand of basketball.”
Both teams rallied from
series deficits to win three
straight games in the last
round. The Warriors overcame a 2-1 hole against
Memphis, and the Rockets
became the ninth team in
NBA history to come back
from a 3-1 deficit to win a
playoff series when they
closed out the Clippers in
Game 7 on Sunday.
Whether the Rockets are
recovered from that emotional series is unclear. The tight
turnaround — and long-distance flight — surely don’t
work in their favor.
But after fighting back to
get this far, this much is
clear: the Rockets don’t lack
for confidence.
“We’re going to put the
pressure on them,” Harden
said. “It’s the playoffs, anything can happen.”
The Warriors and Rockets
made more 3-pointers than
any team in the NBA during
the regular season, and they
haven’t slowed down in the
playoffs. They’re averaging
nearly 30 attempts per game,
with the Warriors shooting a
postseason-high 40 percent
and the Rockets just under 35
percent from beyond the arc.

THIS DAY IN SPORTS
The Associated Press
Compiled By PAUL MONTELLA
May 19
1910 — Cy Young, the career leader in major
league victories, wins No. 500 as the
Cleveland Indians defeat Washington 5-4 in
11 innings.
1923 — Zev, a 19-1 long shot ridden by Earl
Sande, wins the Kentucky Derby by 1½
lengths over Martingale.
1973 — Secretariat, ridden by Ron Turcotte,
rallies from last with a powerful move on the
clubhouse turn to win the Preakness Stakes
by 2½ lengths over Sham. The original time
is 1:55 for the 1 3/16-mile race, but Pimlico
changes it to 1:54 2/5 two days later.
1974 — The Philadelphia Flyers beat the
Boston Bruins 1-0 to win the Stanley Cup in
six games.
1979 — Spectacular Bid, ridden by Ron
Franklin, wins the Preakness Stakes by an
easy 5½ lengths over Golden Act.
1990 — Hobart wins its 11th straight NCAA
Division III lacrosse championship, beating
Washington College of Maryland 18-6. The
Statesmen, winners of every final since the
tournament’s inception in 1980, are 100-3
in Division III in that time.
1991 — Willy T. Ribbs becomes the first
black driver to make the lineup for the
Indianapolis 500.
2000 — Patrick Roy ties an NHL record with
his 15th career playoff shutout as Colorado
blank Dallas 2-0. Roy matches the shutout
mark set by Clint Benedict of Ottawa and the
Montreal Maroons in the 1920s, and
extends his league record for playoff victories to 120.
2007 — Curlin, ridden by Robby Albarado,
nips Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense by
putting his head in front on the final stride,
winning the Preakness Stakes in a riveting
finish. The winning time was 1:53.46, equaling the stakes record of 1:53 2/5.
2008 — Boston’s Jon Lester shuts down
Kansas City 7-0 with a no-hitter. The 24year-old lefty, who survived cancer to pitch
the World Series clincher for the Red Sox
last fall, allows two baserunners on walks.
2012 — I’ll Have Another overtakes
Bodemeister down the stretch to win the
Preakness and keeps alive his hopes of winning the Triple Crown. Like the Kentucky
Derby, I’ll Have Another races from behind to
beat pace-setter Bodemeister, who also finished second in the Derby. I’ll Have Another,
ridden by Mario Gutierrez, covers the 1
3/16 miles in 1:55.94.
2012 — Tim Duncan scores 19 points, helping engineer a 24-0 run in the third quarter
after the Spurs trailed by 24 points earlier,
and San Antonio defeats the Los Angeles
Clippers 96-86 to take a commanding 3-0
lead in the Western Conference semifinals

DAVE SKRETTA
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Everyone in
the Royals dugout was hanging on the
top step when Mike Moustakas stepped
to the plate Friday night. He had already
accomplished three legs of the cycle,
and all that was missing was a home
run.
Yankees reliever Jose Ramirez delivered the pitch, one that the left-handed
Moustakas could only try poking to
right field. He nearly got enough of it
anyway, the ball floating through the air
for what seemed like an eternity before
bouncing halfway up the outfield wall.
It wound up being a double, capping
a 4 for 4 night. But while Moustakas
may have come up short of the cycle, he
still made a big statement: These days,
he can go the other way.
You see, the Royals third baseman
has struggled the past couple years to
deal with teams shifting on him. In fact,
only nine other players watched an
opponent slide its own third baseman to
the right side of the infield more often
last year than Moustakas, whose natural
tendency to pull the ball resulted in a
career-worst .212 batting average.
So this past offseason, Royals hitting
coach Dale Sveum asked Moustakas
what he wanted to accomplish before
spring training. The answer was quite
simple.
“Beating the shift was obviously a
priority,” Moustakas said.
That may seem like a “no-duh”
answer, but in reality it’s quite rare.
First, many power hitters view the shift
as an affront — their ego dictates that
they would rather power balls over it
than spray a single the other way.
Second, making the necessary mental
and mechanical adjustments often takes
months of hard work, often requiring
two steps backward for each step forward.
It can be humbling process, leading
to humiliating results. But if Moustakas
was ever going to live up to expectations as a former first-round pick, he
knew it was necessary.
The work has paid off. This season,

KC Royal Mike Moustakas is adapting his game to combat the increasing use of
extreme defensive shifts throughout Major League Baseball.
he’s hitting .319.
“We always though Mike would
have the capacity at the big league level
to hit somewhere between .260 and
.280, would be a reasonable number,
with 20, 25 home runs and 80 to 100
RBIs,” Royals manager Ned Yost
explained. “Then you saw the shift and
the way he was going about it, and we
said, ‘OK, maybe we need to lower our
expectations here. The kid is going to
hit .220.”
Moustakas is hardly alone in having
to deal with the shift.
According to Baseball Info
Solutions, the number of shifts used in
Major League Baseball rose from 8,180
two years ago to 13,296 last season.
That translated to an estimated 195 runs
saved.
By comparison, there were only
2,464 shifts used during the entire 2010
season.
Even among the AL champion
Royals, Moustakas was not alone. First
baseman Eric Hosmer and outfielder
Alex Gordon have had to deal with
teams sliding to the right against them,
though both of them are proficient
enough at going the other way to make

opponents pay for it.
It took countless hours of work for
Moustakas to do the same thing. And
while he doesn’t like to discuss the
details — his slight change in hand
position, his altered stride, balance and
weight shift — he is willing to give
Sveum the credit for helping him to
change.
“Just going up there and hitting the
baseball in general is tough,” Royals
outfielder Lorenzo Cain said, “but to put
in the work this offseason, to come into
spring training with the goal in mind
that I’m going to hit the other way, bunt
sometimes, make them play me in a
normal defense — he’s stuck to it, sticking to it, and I’m definitely happy for
him.”
The numbers demonstrate the
progress.
Last season, Moustakas hit 106
groundballs to the right side of the
infield and just 15 to the left, according
to STATS. This season, he’s hit 33 to
the right and six to the left. Even more
pronounced are line drives, which
Moustakas hit 45 times to right field last
season and 10 to left. He’s hit just three
liners to right and 13 to left this season.
Marlins GM Dan
Jennings becomes
Miami’s manager
STEVEN WINE
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI — Even the mother of the Miami Marlins’ new
manager is questioning the
wisdom of the choice.
Marlins general manager
Dan Jennings was selected
Monday to replace Mike
Redmond in the dugout.
Jennings has 31 years of experience in professional baseball,
but he never played in the
majors and has never managed.
“It is outside the box, I will
not deny that,” Jennings said
at a news conference. “My
mom, whom I love deeply,
asked me, ‘Are you crazy?
Have you lost your mind?’”
Redmond, who was in his
third season, was fired Sunday
after the Marlins were nearly
no-hit in a 6-0 loss to Atlanta
that completed a three-game
sweep. The defeat dropped
Miami to 16-22, but team
president David Samson said
a change had been in the
works since the Marlins started 3-11.
Jennings’ first game is
Monday night, at home
against Arizona.
The shake-up was the latest
orchestrated by owner Jeffrey
Loria, reinforcing his reputation for impatience. Jennings
is Loria’s sixth manager since
June 2010.
“Jeffrey Loria makes me
laugh!” former Atlanta Braves
third baseman Chipper Jones
tweeted.
No other candidates were
considered, Samson said, in
part because the Marlins have
gone through so many managers already.
“There’s nowhere else to
look anymore,” Samson conceded. “We’re running out.”
Former players have
become first-time managers in
the majors, but the move from
the front office to the dugout
is unusual. According to
Baseball Reference, Jennings
is the first major league skipper with no experience as a
manager or big league player
since Braves owner Ted
Turner managed his team for
one game in 1977.
