1 • Press-Republican—Monday, August 13,1984 Louganis, Fargis, Ruiz complete U.S. gold rush LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Greg Louganis, considered the greatest diver of all time, led a final record-breaking gold rush Sunday as the United States established itself as the most suc- cessful team in Olympic history. Continuing their devastating domination of these Games until the filial hours, when the finish of the marathon coincided with the closing ceremonies, the Americans surpassed the record 80 gold medals achieved by the Soviet Union in 1980. Louganis touched off the last day of the 23rd Summer Olympics by adding the platform championship to the springboard title he won earlier, and in short order Joe Fargis and Tracie Ruiz duplicated his feat of winning their second gold medals. The only gold that got away on closing day was in the marathon, the 229th medal event of the Games, where 37-year-old Carlos Lopes of Portugal we* m w Olympic record time of X hours 9 minutes 21 seconds. It was only the second marathon he has completed in four attempts, and came a week after he was hit by a car in Lisbon. John Treacy won the silver, making Ireland the 47th nation to earn a medal at these Games, and Charles Spedding of Britain won the bronze. Pete PfiUinger was the top American finisher in 11th place while Alberto Salazar of Eugene, Ore., who set the world record with 2:08:13 in 1981, fell out of contention early and wound up 15th. Louganis' success, with a world record total of 710.91 points, put the United States over the top in its 15-day drive to overtake the Soviet mark, and the victories by Fargis in equestrian and Ruiz in synchronized swimming brought the gold total to 83. This is more than tour times tha 30 for runnorup Romania. ———• • Placid connection Lake Placid was well- represented in the finals of the PR North Coun- try Tennis Tournament doubles Sunday.

In contrast. West Ger- many was second in medals with 59. Louganis, who wiped tears from his eyes at the awards ceremony, said he was aware how close he was to the record as he prepared for his final attempt, but added, \I tried to block everything out. If I thought about it I would have been too ner- vous to dive. \I had my doubts and all. but I was home (he lives in nearby Mission Viejo), I did my homework, and I felt I was prepared.\ Louganis, the winner of 26 national championships, is the only man to surpass 700 points in diving competition, and he also had seta world mark in the springboard, Monday, Aus \Adirondack described as a g wildlife, plant lif the Adirondack 1 book release ci publishers, the > servancy and i Council.

Inst has a kind By United Press International Pascual Perez, the focal point of a brawl-filled contest that saw both benches empty twice and nine players ejected, allowed on- ly five hits over eight innings Sunday in leading the Atlanta Braves to a 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres. Perez, who had pitches thrown close to him in all four of his plate appearances, was hit by reliever Craig Lefferts' first pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning — triggering the first full-scale brawl. Both benches emptied and fans came onto the field as a series of fights broke out simultaneously. The second brawl occurred in the top of the ninth. Donnie Moore, in relief of Perez, hit Graig Nettles with an 0*1 pitch, causing both benches to clear again. Fans on the third base side began throwing beer at the 5 inducted into Shrine COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (UPI) - Luis Aparicio and Harold \Pee Wee\ Reese, two of baseball's most brilliant shortstops. were inducted into the game's Hall of Fame Sunday in ceremonies during which defensive skills were emphasized over offensive power.

The inductions, raising the total number of players in the Hall to 1S3, were held on the porch of the baseball library with about 5,000 persons lining the grass slopes. The ceremonies were delayed a half hour until 3 p.m. EDT because of rain. Aparicio. who played for the Chicago White Sox. Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox from 195$-73, was praised by Bowie Kuhn for \reintroducing speed as a key offensive weapon\ as well as for his defensive prowess. Kuhn also noted Reese's ex- traordinary qualities of leadership and assistance he gave to Jackie Robinson when the tatter broke the color barrier in 1M7. Aparicio, the first native of Venezuela inducted into the shrine. and the ton of the famous \Great One of Maracaibo.\ promised to deliver the shortest speech of Cooperstown history — and might have done so. \When I first came to this country, I had little in my pocket but dreams/' he said. \But I had the opportunity and the help of my teammates. I Just played my best for my team. The Hail of Fame was a faraway dream. 'Thirty years after I came to this country, I thank you for the to play this greatest game in the world \ who played for the Dodgers from 1941—SS, emphasized his relationship with Robinson, the first Negro to play in the ma- jors, and Leo Durocber, the controversial manager of the Dodgers in tibelMTs \Jackie Robinson and I were teammates and friends.\ sa»d Reese. \He came to play and to win. I wish be could have been with me here today. Durocber was my first big-league manager and he was pretty tougk. But he gave a scared kid a chance to play. Leo ted a toe of pttieace wiHi me If it hadn't been for Leo. I i*t be here today.\ t players and one fan came onto the field from the left field stands and tped to take a loose helmet. Atlanta players Chris Chambliss and Jerry Royster tackled the fan on the third base bag.
