(AP) Charles Haley walks the sidelines at training camp a little more slowly these days, his gruff exterior softened by a smile as he jokingly chides reporters and team personnel with the Dallas Cowboys. It wasn t an act 25 years ago, when San Francisco was trying to appease one of the NFL s best pass rushers before giving up and trading him to a top NFC rival in the middle of what became a Hall of Fame career. When I went into the NFL, I was a 22-year-old athlete that had an 11-yearold kid inside of me crying for help. But I refused to ask for it, said Haley, the only player with five Super Bowl rings as he heads into his induction Saturday in Canton, Ohio. I think the people that reached out to me were the people that saw me hurting and knew that I needed help and knew I was too dumb or too weak to ask for it. I realize at this stage of my life that it s better to mend fences than to burn them down. Most of those fences were on the West Coast, where Haley reportedly once urinated on the car of Tim Harris after Harris was acquired in a move seen as a challenge to Haley. There was also talk of fights with teammates and lewd behavior in the locker room, both in San Francisco and Dallas. Years later, after Haley retired, the former defensive end was diagnosed as bipolar. Be honest with yourself, you had to know something was wrong with him, right? former teammate Nate Newton said. He just wasn t a normal guy. But when that came out, I m glad he faced it and overcame it and he knows what he has to do to maintain that. Newton was close to Haley then and is now. Newton, who spent almost two years in prison on marijuana trafficking convictions after his career ended, said the locker room in Dallas was simply a better fit for Haley. Everybody was unique, Newton said. Michael Irvin was unique in his own way. Kevin Gogan was unique. Mark Tuinei was unique.... We respected each other. We all had our limits. We knew how far to push each other. A playoff loss to Detroit ended the 1991 season, and coach Jimmy Johnson vowed in front of his team that he would improve the pass rush. Sure enough, the 49ers made Haley available, and Johnson had some Cowboys call their counterparts with the 49ers. He had assistant coaches check with San Francisco s staff. To a man, and of course everybody knew he was an outstanding player, but everybody said he had a passion for the game, Johnson said. He was smart. And he was an extremely hard worker. Regardless of his problems, I knew that if he was smart and would work hard and he had a passion for the game, that I could deal with him. Johnson had a few run-ins with Haley, who eventually asked his coach to stop chastising him in front of other players. Haley said he understood it needed to happen, but asked if it could be in private. And I said, Charles, I can t guarantee you that that s going to happen. But I ll take that into consideration, Johnson said. From that time forward, we had a great relationship. Charles is one of my favorite players. He was fun to coach. He made it interesting. A 1986 fourth-round pick out of James Madison, Haley won Super Bowls with the 1988 and 89 championships with San Francisco. There were back-toback titles with the Cowboys ( ) before the final one in Haley finished with 100 1/2 sacks, half of all-time leader Bruce Smith s total in 19 seasons. He s not even in the top 10 on the Dallas with 34 in five seasons. Haley s back problems limited him late in a 12-season career that actually ended with one more year in San Francisco in 1999 after two years out of the game. But the Cowboys never measured his worth in sacks. Super Bowl. Super Bowl, Newton said about how much difference Haley made for the Cowboys. He was the reason we won the first Super Bowl. We needed a pass rush. We had good corners that turned into great corners WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) New Zealand s Valerie Adams will not defend her shot put title at this month s world championships as she is struggling to recover from shoulder and elbow surgery. The now 30-yearold Adams, who has won the title four times, announced her decision on social media Wednesday from her training base in Switzerland. Adams lost for the first time in 56 meetings over five years as she returned from injury this season, but the two-time Olympic champion said I m glad I made an attempt as it has just boosted my motivation more for the Olympics. She said her recovery from right elbow surgery, particularly, was taking longer than expected, adding no-one said it would be easy but I... will continue to fight and work towards defending my title in Rio Haley takes 5 titles to Hall after gruff years in Dallas, SF because Charles Haley was at that right defensive end. Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. doesn t measure Haley s career in sacks or Super Bowls. I think his great legacy, besides being a Hall of Fame and great, great football player, is what he s going to do with the rest of his life in helping kids, said DeBartolo, who will introduce Haley in the hall ceremony. That legacy probably is more important than the legacy that he aspired to in football. Haley volunteers with an organization of pro athletes who try to help disadvantaged kids. And he has his own niche in wanting to help young people with mental illness. It s sobering when you get to see other people like you, but yet you see their struggles because they refuse to get a handle on top of it, Haley said. There s no excuses. My parents taught me right from wrong. The mental illness part is just, I was always in a reactionary mode. Now that he s not, he figures there s only so much he can do to repair relationships. I just let people watch the way I am now and try to be a friend, Haley said. How many times can you tell somebody you re sorry? The thing that people want to know is that you have changed. And that s what s important more to me is that I have changed.

(AP) Frank Alexander wouldn t have faulted the Carolina Panthers had they released him last year after testing positive four times for marijuana and being suspended twice by the NFL. Alexander knows he messed up having to sit out 14 games in He also knows he was on the verge of throwing away his NFL career before checking into a rehab center. The Panthers, however, never gave up on the fourth-year defensive end. This year Alexander is out to repay coach Ron Rivera and the organization for sticking by him. He has set his sights on getting 10 sacks this season and at least two tackles for losses per game. He s eager to help the Panthers win an unprecedented third straight NFC South title rather than be a spectator on the sideline. But first he wants the Panthers to know he won t let them down. When you put yourself in this position, you got to gain the trust back, Alexander said. When you mess up, you got to gain the trust back. Alexander has been working hard to do just that. The 25-year-old has moved up to first-team right defensive end. The team is hoping he can fill the void created by the departure of Greg Hardy, who signed with the Cowboys as a free agent following off-the-field issues of his own. I feel like I can be as good as I set my mind to do, Alexander said. Rivera believes that. He also believes Alexander when he says he s done with drugs. In Rivera s eyes, Alexander is a solid young man who made a mistake, and someone who is doing the right things to make amends. We aren t going to throw guys to the side that are solid young men that have shown us they are committed to trying to make things right, Rivera said. Still, Rivera has called this a make or break season for Alexander, who is in the final year of his rookie contract with Carolina. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Alexander has a great combination of size, speed and power, but has only sacks in three seasons. He only played in one game last season because of the suspensions. The low point came last September when he couldn t travel with the team to Tampa Bay for the season opener. I was sitting at the house watching the game and cheering them on, but on the inside I was hurting, Alexander said. There wasn t any injury, it was just a decision I made. Now, I m not only affected by this decision, but it affects my family. It bothered him that his two young daughters were questioned by friends and classmates about his drug issues. He vowed to change his lifestyle as much for them as for himself. Instead of lighting up after practice to relax and unwind, Alexander often turns on a video game. You can t do the same thing and expect different results, Alexander said. You know you re at a point where you have to grow up and make choices that will better yourself and your family. Alexander says a prayer of thanks for the secondary opportunity before he steps on the field. It s an opportunity, he knows, he may never get again if he messes up. He s drug-tested frequently by the league, sometimes up to five times per month at random places and times. Another positive test would lead to a mandatory one-year suspension. Most guys don t get the (second chance) that I have, so I m thankful for that, Alexander said. Rivera said he talks with Alexander every day, taking a personal interest in what is happening in his life. He tries to show Alexander that he believes in him, that s he s counting on him and he there s to support him. I m proud that he is doing the things that he should do and has stayed on the straight and narrow, Rivera said. He knows he has to do that. This is his opportunity. He has a family he has to take care of and I think that is part of growing up and understanding the responsibility. NOTES: Linebacker Shaq Thompson, the team s first-round draft pick, was held out of practice after tweaking his hamstring.... Rivera said defensive tackle Kawann Short (back) is expected back to work in the few days, but Star Lotulelei (foot) will miss a couple of weeks.... Rivera said cornerback Chris Houston decided to retire after reinjuring his toe.... The Panthers signed cornerback T.J. Heath and defensive tackle Kenny Horsley and released punter Matt Wile. SPORTS SHORTS Germany down to 3rd in FIFA rankings; Argentina still No. 1 ZURICH (AP) World Cup winner Germany dropped to No. 3 in the latest FIFA rankings, with beaten finalist Argentina still at No. 1. Germany trades places with new No. 2 Belgium as its World Cup results drop in value more than one year later. The Netherlands fell seven places to No. 12, also because its third-place finish in Brazil counts for less in FIFA s calculations over a four-year cycle. Colombia stays at No. 4, and Brazil and Portugal each rise one to Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. Copa America winner Chile climbs one to No. 10. Mexico used its Gold Cup title to rise 14 places to No. 26. Runner-up Jamaica is up 21 to No. 55. The United States, beaten by Jamaica in the semifinals, improves five places to No. 29.

On a strong morning for Australia, Mitchell Larkin led the 200 backstroke heats in 1:55.88, nearly a full second ahead of secondplaced qualifier Ryosuke Irie of Japan, who touched in 1: Larkin already took gold in the 100 back. Americans Ryan Murphy and Tyler Clary, the Olympic champion, where third and sixth, respectively. Ryan Lochte decided not to defend his title in this event, although the American standout was the overwhelming favorite for gold in the 200 individual medley final later. Jaguars WR Lee injures hamstring in camp practice JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee left practice early Wednesday with a hamstring injury. Lee, who is still recovering from a left knee injury, tweaked his right hamstring midway through practice and didn t return. Coach Gus Bradley says we ll just wait and see to what degree it is and where we go from there. Lee, a second-round draft pick from USC in 2014, missed all organized teams activities and a three-day minicamp because of the knee injury, so the last place he wanted to be during training camp was back on the sideline. Bradley says: I know for him it s disappointing. He really wanted to go. We ll get it figured out. Fortunately it s this time of year and fortunately it s not anything season-ending or anything like that. We ll deal with it. Clowney s father denied bond on attempted murder charges ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) The father of Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has been denied bond after being charged with two counts of attempted murder in a shooting at a Rock Hill bar. A lawyer asked for bond because Clowney s father, David Morgan, was hurt in the shooting Tuesday. Local media reported that police opposed the request because of the seriousness of the charges. Rock Hill Police Capt. Mark Bollinger says the department added charges based on continued investigation. Morgan was also charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a firearm by someone convicted of a violent crime and carrying a pistol unlawfully, according to arrest warrants. Houston coach Bill O Brien would not comment on the arrest. He did say that the Texans were supportive of all their players. We want our players to have success, he said after practice in Houston. We want them to go into each and every day knowing they have our support. I believe our players know that. A police report from the Rock Hill Police Department says the 45-year-old Morgan was removed from the bar for sitting on a stage. Police say he was seen later at the back of the property before firing several rounds at Braxton Homesley, described in the police report as the victim. Police say Homesley returned fire. Officers picked up Morgan at Piedmont Medical Center. He was being treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder. (Continued on page B11)

The 15-year-old Wang, from San Marino, California, had a 4-under 209 total at Miramont Country Club. I ll work on my putting, but hopefully everything else stays pretty good, Wang said. Mariel Galdiano of Pearl City, Hawaii, coming off a victory last week in the Canadian Women s Amateur, was second after her third straight 70. Yujeong Son of Norman, Oklahoma, the first-round leader after a 64, was third at 1 under after a 75. The 17-year-old Dalke, from Hobart, Oklahoma, followed his tournament-record 62 with a 73. He had a 10-under 203 total. I obviously did not play as well as yesterday, but I did not play terrible, Dalke said. I just really couldn t get anything going today.... It s a clean slate now and I have a two-stroke lead going into tomorrow. I wish it could be more, but I can t do anything about it. Cole Hammer of Houston was second after a 67.

Lions agree to 4-year extension with linebacker DeAndre Levy NOVI, Mich. (AP) The Detroit Lions have agreed to a fouryear contract extension with linebacker DeAndre Levy. Team President Tom Lewand confirmed the agreement before Detroit s practice Wednesday night. General manager Martin Mayhew had said the previous day that the Lions were negotiating with the 28-year-old Levy, whose contract was up at the end of this season. He is the kind of person that we want to be part of the nucleus of this franchise for years to come, Lewand said. He has shown throughout his career with us that he is deserving of not only the contract that he received today, but of the status of being part of that nucleus. Levy had a career-high 151 tackles (117 solo) last season and is entering his seventh season with Detroit. Securing Levy s services for the next few years is an important move for the Lions, who were unable to sign star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to an extension last year. Suh ended up leaving via free agency this past offseason. Levy has started 82 games for Detroit since being drafted by the Lions in the third round in Rice, Irvin set as NFL Legends CAPTAINS for the Pro Bowl NEW YORK (AP) Hall of Fame wide receivers Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin will serve as NFL Legends captains for the Pro Bowl.

Last season, Irvin and Cris Carter were captains, with Team Irvin beating Team Carter at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona. Rice and Deion Sanders served as captains the previous year, with Team Rice topping Team Sanders in Honolulu. US women s coach Jill Ellis gets contract extension CHICAGO (AP) Jill Ellis has been rewarded with a contract extension after leading the U.S. women to the World Cup title. Next challenge: the Olympics. The U.S. Soccer Federation said Wednesday that Ellis had agreed to a multi-year extension. That leaves Ellis in charge as the Americans prepare for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. They have won three straight Olympic gold medals, with Ellis as an assistant coach for the last two. Ellis guided the United States to its third World Cup crown last month with a 5-2 victory over defending champion Japan. I think it was a natural progression for me to want to continue with this team, with this program. And continue to push for excellence, and try to continue to keep this program at the forefront as it has been, Ellis told reporters on a conference call Wednesday afternoon. The 48-year-old Ellis took over as head coach of the U.S. team May 16, 2014, leading the women through World Cup qualifying and then to the title in Canada. Sanchez drops appeal of 3-game suspension TORONTO (AP) Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez has dropped his appeal of a three-game suspension for throwing at Kansas City s Alcides Escobar in the eighth inning Sunday in a victory over the Royals. Sanchez was ejected for throwing at Escobar after warnings had been put in place. Home plate umpire Jim Wolf issued warnings after Kansas City s Edinson Volquez hit Toronto slugger Josh Donaldson on the left shoulder in the first. Sanchez will begin serving the suspension Wednesday against Minnesota. He ll be eligible to return Saturday, the second game of a pivotal weekend series in New York against the AL East-leading Yankees. Sanchez began the season as a starter but has pitched in relief since returning from a muscle injury. He s 6-4 with a 3.39 ERA. Sanchez has pitched in four of the past six games, including Tuesday s win, and was likely to be rested Wednesday and Thursday, manager John Gibbons said.

(AP) Kam Chancellor s holdout from Seattle Seahawks training camp has extended to a sixth day. The second-team All-Pro strong safety was absent again from camp on Wednesday as he continues to seek a new contract from the team. Head coach Pete Carroll said it s an issue of concern for both sides. Carroll said he has not had any communication with Chancellor in a few days. Here we have to keep moving and he knows that s what we are called to do and so we re going to do that, Carroll said. But it s a very difficult time for him I think. In addition to the $30,000 a day the team can fine him for his holdout, the Seahawks can now seek a percentage of Chancellor s prorated signing bonus.

(AP) The Louisville women s basketball team will open the season against Cal in a nonconference schedule featuring games against 10 schools that reached the postseason. The Cardinals schedule includes games at in-state rivals Western Kentucky (Nov. 21) and Kentucky (Dec. 10) and a Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup at Michigan State on Dec. 3. Louisville also will compete in the Gulf Coast Showcase, with a possible meeting with NCAA Tournament participant LSU. First up is Cal on Nov. 15 as the Cardinals seek a third straight win against the Bears. Their home schedule includes Valparaiso (Dec. 5); IUPUI (Dec. 13); Dartmouth (Dec. 15); UT-Martin (Dec. 28) and South Florida (Feb. 15). Louisville, which advanced to the Sweet 16 last season, also plays at Tennessee Tech (Dec. 18) and College of Charleston (Dec. 20). Government demanding Lance Armstrong s medical records AUSTIN, Texas (AP) The federal government wants to see Lance Armstrong s medical records from his treatments for cancer, pecifically whether his doctors knew back in 1996 that he was using performance-enhancing drugs. Court records show that government lawyers subpoenaed the Indiana University School of Medicine on July 30 to provide records of Armstrong s treatments and donations he later made to the school. The demand came in the government s lawsuit to recover millions of dollars in sponsorship money the U.S. Postal Service paid to Armstrong s teams from Penalties could approach $100 million. Armstrong s lawyers have asked a Washington, D.C., judge to block the subpoena. They called the release of records a violation of privacy and noted Armstrong confessed in 2013 to doping to win the Tour de France seven times. In a deposition given July 23, Armstrong admitted doping prior to 1996, his lawyers wrote. 49ers release cornerback Chris Cook SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) The San Francisco 49ers have released cornerback Chris Cook, who underwent surgery in late October on a torn hamstring that prematurely ended his 2014 season and sent him to injured reserve. The 49ers like their depth at cornerback with Tramaine Brock and Shareece Wright the expected starters. New addition Wright intercepted a pass by Colin Kaepernick in Tuesday s first padded practice and ran it back approximately 30 yards for a pick-6. San Francisco has a handful of other young cornerbacks competing to be backups. Cook joined San Francisco in March 2014, then received another one-year deal this offseason. In six games last season, he had three tackles, one pass defensed and two tackles on special teams. Riske upsets No. 10 Suarez Navarro to reach quarters STANFORD, Calif. (AP) American Alison Riske changed her schedule this season to include the Bank of the West Classic for a variety of reasons. One of them was to change her luck. The 59th ranked Riske did just that, beating third-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro 6-4, 6-4 on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals. Riske, making her main draw debut in the event, beat a top-10 player for the first time in nearly two years and the second overall in 12 tries. Germany s Mona Barthel also knocked off a seeded player, beating sixth-seeded compatriot Andrea Petkovic 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (4) and could next play top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, who makes her first appearance Thursday night. Major League Baseball Roundup Continued from page B11 Just two baserunners made it into scoring position against the left-hander. Williams Perez (4-2) surrendered 10 hits, two walks and six runs in six-plus innings for the Braves, who have lost 11 of 14. DODGERS 4, PHILLIES 3 PHILADELPHIA (AP) Yasiel Puig hit a three-run home run, Brett Anderson allowed one run in six innings and Los Angeles beat Philadelphia. Howie Kendrick had three hits to help the Dodgers win for the fifth time in six games. Jeff Francoeur homered for Philadelphia. The Phillies lost for only the fourth time in their last 17 games. They still have the worst record in baseball at Anderson (6-6) won for the first time since July 1. He allowed four hits, struck out five and walked two. Kenley Jansen struck out the side in a ninth for his 20th save in his 21st opportunity. Philadelphia starter Aaron Harang (5-12) was the loser. BLUE JAYS 9, TWINS 7 TORONTO (AP) Jose Bautista hit a grand slam, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson homered and Toronto beat Minnesota for its fourth straight win. Encarnacion hit a three-run drive and Donaldson added a two-run shot. Toronto has homered in 17 of 18 games since the All-Star break, with 10 multihomer games in that span. Miguel Sano homered and had three RBIs for the Twins. Sano hit an RBI single and Trevor Plouffe doubled home two runs as the Twins jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first against Drew Hutchison (10-2). Toronto answered in the bottom half against right-hander Tyler Duffey (0-1), who was making his major league debut. Troy Tulowitzki walked and Donaldson hit his 29th homer, tying a career high. Bautista made it 6-3 in the second with his fifth career grand slam and 24th home run of the season. Encarnacion made it 9-3 with a three-run drive off reliever J.R. Graham in the fourth, his 20th. The second-deck drive traveled an estimated 462 feet. LaTroy Hawkins finished for his third save. RED SOX 2, YANKEES 1 NEW YORK (AP) Steven Wright handcuffed a torrid New York ineup with his steady supply of knuckleballs, and David Ortiz hit a colossal home run for Boston. A costly throwing error by third baseman Chase Headley helped spoil the debut of prized Yankees pitching prospect Luis Severino, who yielded only two hits over five impressive innings. Koji Uehara retired pinch-hitter Brian McCann with two on for his 24th save. Alejandro De Aza hit an RBI double with two outs in the second immediately following Headley s 18th error of the season. Ortiz connected on a 96 mph 2-0 fastball leading off the fourth, launching a drive that landed more than halfway up the elevated concrete bleachers in right field. That was enough for Wright (5-4). RANGERS 4, ASTROS 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Chris Gimenez hit the deciding home run and Texas held on to complete a three-game sweep of AL Westleading Houston. After Texas scored three unearned runs in the first off Scott Kazmir (6-6), the Rangers second started with Gimenez homering to straightaway center for a 4-0 lead. All three Houston runs were scored by players who reached on a walk. The Rangers have won four in a row and seven of eight, moving within five games of the division lead, the closest they have been since June 30. Texas starter Nick Martinez (7-6), the righthander pitching on his 25th birthday, walked three and struck out one while throwing 86 pitches in a game that started with the temperature at 100 degrees. Sam Dyson, the sixth Rangers pitcher, worked the ninth for his second career save both since being acquired in a trade with Miami on Friday. WHITE SOX 6, RAYS 5, 10 INNINGS CHICAGO (AP) Avisail Garcia hit a threerun homer in Chicago s five-run first inning and had a bases-loaded walk in the 10th to lift the White Sox past Tampa Bay. Garcia drew the winning walk off closer Brad Boxberger (5-6). In the 10th, Adam Eaton singled and stole second base and advanced to third when catcher Curt Casali s throw struck shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the ear, knocking him to the ground. Cabrera left the game later in the inning. Boxberger then intentionally walked Jose Abreu and Melky Cabrera to load the bases with one out before walking Garcia. Chicago closer David Robertson (5-3) had four strikeouts in two hitless innings. Evan Longoria homered for the Rays. ORIOLES 7, ATHLETICS 3, 10 INNINGS OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Chris Davis hit his second grand slam in 12 days with one out in the 10th inning to lead Baltimore past Oakland. Davis hit his 28th home run and third in four games on a 3-2 pitch from Arnold Leon (0-1). It came two batters after Gerardo Parra was intentionally walked to load the bases. Caleb Joseph and Manny Machado led off the inning with singles. Closer Zach Britton (2-0) pitched a seasonhigh scoreless innings for the victory. PIRATES 7, CUBS 5 PITTSBURGH (AP) Gregory Polanco and Andrew McCutchen homered and Pittsburgh beat Chicago to snap the Cubs season-best winning streak at six games. Polanco led off the first inning with a home run off Dan Haren, who was making his Cubs debut. He then hit an RBI single to break a 4-4 tie in a decisive two-run sixth. McCutchen hit a solo homer in the third and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it 6-4. Francisco Cervelli and Aramis Ramirez each had two hits to help the Pirates win for the 12th time in their last 15 home games at PNC Park. ROCKIES 7, MARINERS 5 DENVER (AP) Michael McKenry hit a two-out, two-run homer in the 11th inning in Colorado s comeback victory over Seattle. McKenry hit Mayckol Gauipe s 2-2 curveball into the left-field seats for his fourth home run of the season and the first walk-off hit in his career. Seattle s Nelson Cruz doubled and singled to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, but failed to homer for the first time in six games. Franklin Gutierrez homered for the Mariners. The Rockies winning rally started with Ben Paulsen s one-out single off Guaipe (0-3). Yohane Flande (2-1) pitched the 11th for the victory. BREWERS 8, PADRES 5 MILWAUKEE (AP) Rookie Taylor Jungmann struk out a career-high eight and allowed six hits without a walk over seven innings in Milwaukee s victory over San Diego. Jungmann (6-3) has allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts and in all but one this season. Jonathan Lucroy, Shane Peterson and Jean Segura each drove in two runs to help Milwaukee record back-to-back wins for the first time in 15 games. After San Diego scored three runs in the ninth off Corey Knebel, Francisco Rodriguez recorded the final out for his 25th save in as many chances. Padres starter Ian Kennedy (6-10) gave up four earned runs on seven hits in seven innings. TIGERS 2, ROYALS 1 DETROIT (AP) Matt Boyd pitched seven strong innings in his Detroit debut and Anthony Gose and Ian Kinsler hit key triples in the Tigers victory over Kansas City. Acquired last week from Toronto in the David Price trade, Boyd (1-2) only allowed one run on seven hits and didn t walk a batter in a careerlong seven innings. The Tigers broke a scoreless tie in the third when Gose s two-out triple over Lorenzo Cain brought home Tyler Collins. Johnny Cueto (7-7) couldn t pick up his first win for Kansas City despite only allowing two runs on five hits in seven innings.

Don t let uncertainty cause you to miss out. Birthday Baby: You are dynamic and playful. You are responsible, courageous and a born leader. Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren WIFE SUFFERS INCREASING PAIN FROM MAN S VERBAL ATTACKS DEAR ABBY: I have been married to Ken for 10 years. He is a successful business owner. It has been a struggle to stay married to him because he has control issues and when he doesn t get his way, he begins a verbal assault on his victim -- usually me. He has no friends because he runs them off, claiming they did him wrong (not true), and his employees don t like him and talk badly about him behind his back. They stay because he pays well. He uses his money to control people. I love Ken, and life can be normal at times, but once he thinks I m getting out from under his thumb, his destructive behavior begins. He treats me like his worst enemy. The pain is becoming unbearable. One minute he tells me he loves me, and the next he is punishing me for not coming home from the store on time. I researched online and learned he has many of the traits of a narcissist. It scares me because he doesn t know he has a problem. He thinks the rest of the world is messed up instead of him. How can I approach him in a way that won t send him over the edge? When I say anything to him he thinks is an attack, he comes back at me viciously. I don t know whether to stay, hoping he ll see the light one day, or get out before I m emotionally damaged beyond repair. -- BROKEN IN TEXAS DEAR BROKEN: Your husband may have a personality disorder, but YOU are a victim of emotional and financial abuse. Much as you might want to, you can t fix him because he appears to be comfortably in denial about having a problem. It is important, however, that you get some help for yourself. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline and talk to someone there about what has been going on (thehotline.org, (800) ). They can help you formulate a safe plan of escape, should you need one. Next, consult a lawyer about what your rights are as a wife in the great state of Texas. If you can find out what the marital assets are, do that as well -- but do it quietly, because if your husband realizes, he will likely try to move/hide them or retaliate to get you back under his control. I don t have to tell you how unhealthy his behavior is, but it may take your leaving to make him take a look at himself. DEAR ABBY: A bus station I was waiting in had two clearly marked men s and women s single restrooms. What do you say or do when the women s bathroom is occupied and there are two women waiting ahead of a man to use the men s restroom? Who has priority for the men s room in this case? The two women ahead of me in line, or me, the male who came after them? I d like to point out that they were young women who were clearly not in an emergency. -- WAITING IN LINE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WAITING: The person whose gender matches the sign on the door should take precedence -- although a gentleman probably wouldn t insist upon it if a lady seemed to be in distress.

15 samoa news, Thursday, August 6, 2015 Page B15

16 Page B16 samoa news, Thursday, August 6, 2015 LATROBE, Pa. (AP) Pittsburgh Steelers rookie linebacker Anthony Chickillo is looking to become the third member of his family to play in the NFL. Chickillo is well aware of his family lineage as he attempts to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He feels it s time to carve his own path in professional football. It s cool to say that I m doing what my dad did and what my grandfather did, Chickillo said. It s a cool story, but I m just trying to get better every day. Grandfather Nick Chickillo played the 1953 NFL season with the Chicago Cardinals. Coincidentally, Nick Chickillo, who passed away in 2000, spent a short time with the Steelers during training camp in the mid-1950s before his career ended. Tampa Bay drafted Anthony s father, Tony Chickillo, in the fifth-round in 1983 and he spent two seasons playing defensive line for the San Diego Chargers and a year with the New York Jets. You don t really think about what they did, the youngest Chickillo said. I m just trying to create my own memories and my own legacy. Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward can relate as the son of the late Craig Ironhead Heyward, an NFL running back who spent an 11-year career playing for five different teams. I think you understand what this game brings and what opportunities go along with it, but at the same time, you set your own pressure, Heyward said. You never want to be in anybody else s shadow. Chickillo, a former Miami (Florida) standout, is one of the Steelers two sixth-round picks. He s hoping to make the move from defensive end to outside linebacker. I m just trying to become the best player I can be, Chickillo said. Whatever they ask me to do, I m just going to work really hard to do it. It showed during the offseason when Chickillo, at the behest of his coaches, dropped about 30 pounds, shedding the defensive lineman image for a lighter, quicker, 253-pound build designed to utilize his speed. He s a pretty disciplined kid, losing the weight and getting down, Heyward said. It s tough, especially coming from minicamp because there s not that much time. He played my position last year and now he s playing outside. You can tell he really wants to be part of this team. Chickillo hasn t played this light since his freshman year of college, but he said he feels better, faster and quicker. He believes it will give him a chance to showcase his pass-rushing ability, something he didn t get to do in Miami. Going into the draft process, a lot of teams didn t think I was athletic because of the way I was used in Miami, so I kind of have that chip on my shoulder, Chickillo said. I want to go prove everybody wrong. He s off to a good start. Chickillo s relentless work ethic was on full display during training camp practices as he used his speed and slender 6-foot-3 frame to regularly rush past offensive tackles. Chickillo is described as a self-starter, a highenergy player with a live motor, which is good for the Steelers, who desire to reach the quarterback more frequently after totaling just 33 sacks in 2014, 26th in the league. I just try to go hard, Chickillo said. That s the only way you can play. It s the only way Chickillo knows. And it may just be enough to help him become the third member of his family to play in the NFL. He s a good kid and he has good lineage behind him, Heyward said. I just love the way he works, he s a hard worker, and I m hoping that translates into a great player on the field. NOTES: Second-round pick CB Senquez Golson said he took an MRI a week ago on his shoulder, injured during the team s minicamp. Options are season-ending surgery or rehabilitation and a return.... S Robert Golden suffered what coach Mike Tomlin called a significant injury to his leg during the team s two-minute drill.
