NL INSIDER

Manager Whitey Herzog has often said nothing but first place matters, but the CARDINALS will try to nail down second place. “It would mean some extra money for the coaches and some of the (lower-paid) players,” Herzog said. SS Ozzie Smith on the same subject: “Twenty years from now, is anybody going to remember who finished second?” … The Cardinals need 41,035 fans to exceed the 3 million attendance mark and anticipate doing so Friday. The three millionth fan will be presented with 1990 season tickets and two Cardinals warmup jackets. … With the East race over, Herzog made only one lineup change Wednesday. Denny Walling started in LF instead of Vince Coleman. SAN DIEGO PADRES RF Tony Gwynn ended an 0-for-11 slump with an eighth-inning RBI double Tuesday night. Gwynn hadn’t had a hit since a single at Cincinnati in the ninth inning last Thursday. Gwynn has been playing for a month on a sore left Achilles tendon before he fouled two pitches off the top of his right foot last Friday night. … LF Chris James was ejected by plate umpire Joe West after the fourth inning Tuesday night. The ejection was James’ first as a Padre. SAN FRANCISCO ASTROS OF Kevin Bass has grand slams this season from both sides of the plate, making him the third switch hitter in NL history and the first since Ted Simmons of the 1975 St. Louis Cardinals to accomplish the feat. George Davis of the 1896 New York Giants is the only other NL player to hit grand slams from each side of the plate in the same season. … IF Craig Reynolds, 36, a former All-Star in both leagues, announced his retirement Wednesday.

Bell maintains winning is tops

”This year I did less than in 1987, but I think I contributed more for the club because we win,” [George Bell] said. ”In ’87 we lost. In ’89 we win. So I’m more happy because of what we did. In ’87 I was really upset.” Hampered by a shoulder problem in the first half and most recently by a strained tendon near his right elbow, Bell hit just 18 home runs this year, but drove in 104 – seven more than last season.

NFL NOTEBOOK / Herschel Rejects Trade to Vikings

Rumors of a possible trade of [Herschel Walker] to the Vikings swirled yesterday, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, coach Jimmy Johnson and Walker refused to confirm them. [Rueben Mayes] will have the same surgery used to repair his frayed left Achilles’ tendon following the 1986 season. In that surgery, physicians grafted fibers from Mayes’ thigh onto the damaged tendon. BANKS TO PAY UP The [Anthony Allen] signing comes as the team downgraded receiver Gary Clark’s status from probable to questionable for Sunday’s game against Phoenix. Clark missed Sunday’s game in New Orleans with a pulled hamstring.

Race Walk | Low impact? Yes Low pain? No

WHENEVER Debbi Lawrence tried to run, her knee couldn’t bear the weight. And Lawrence, anxious to return to fast-lane competition, couldn’t bear the wait. If she couldn’t run, perhaps she could stride — as in walk fast. Competitively. At distances run-down knees and tender tendons could tolerate. So, with the help of a classmate at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Lawrence learned to race walk. “I taught her how to walk, then I walked her down the aisle,” recalls Don Lawrence, her current husband/training partner. The Lawrences, perhaps the world’s fastest walking couple, have lately been on a national tour of shopping malls sponsored by a manufacturer of calcium supplements. Their mission: to conduct clinics demonstrating the hip-slithering, heel-to-toe form that propels world-class walkers close to 250 steps per minute, and to promote the fitness benefits of a low-impact exercise.

Battle, Suns face the Bulls

Many may feel the Bulls should have used their No. 20 pick in the first round to select [Kenny Battle], a 6-5 former Aurora West star who led Illinois into the Final Four last season. The Bulls chose 6-9 Jeff Sanders instead. According to Bulls coach Phil Jackson, veteran guard Craig Hodges may start despite a sore left ankle. Hodges missed practice Thursday after he twisted the ankle, aggravating the bruised Achilles tendon that caused him to miss 13 games late last season. But Hodges worked out Friday.

Defending champion is man of principles

In the last year, [Steve Jones] missed April’s Boston Marathon with an Achilles’ tendon injury and has not equaled last year’s times in shorter races. He has been running more miles than ever, training to prepare for a field that includes world recordholder Belayneh Dinsamo of Ethiopia and Olympic champion Gelindo Bordin of Italy. Jones describes himself as “honest.” In 1983, after dropping out of the Chicago Marathon, his first attempt at the 26.2-mile distance, he tried to return his $1,500 appearance fee to race director Bob Bright. The next year, Bright and Jones agreed on a $1,500 fee. The day before the race, Bright gave Jones a check for $3,000.

Kahlua pouring it on again after summer of discontent

[Lisa Carlsen]‘s most experienced mount, Kahlua, injured its leg in June after successful winter and spring circuits. Kahlua tore a deep flexor tendon in his leg and was out until the fall. At the Royal, Kahlua will be Carlsen’s No. 1 horse. The 24-year- old rider from Thornhill doesn’t want to rush her prized animal into competition shape but acknowledges he’s not quite up to his usual sharpness yet. “Like any athlete who’s been out of competition for a while, Kahlua’s a bit rusty,” she said. “In the Grand Prix in Washington, Kahlua was jumping so high, he was almost jumping out of his skin. His timing was off but that will come back soon.”
