Boston has succeeded in letting a
huge advantage slip away by dropp-
ing two games at home to the Mets.
This club with a talent for turning
prosperity into poverty is at it again.
Even the neon No. 1 that lit up the
Prudential Tower to celebrate Red
Sox’ pennant seemed a little less
bright after Wednesday night's 6-2
loss left the Series tied at 2-2.
“We were up 2-0 once, now we’re
2-2," catcher Rich Gedman said.
“We can't change that. We’ll find out
what we're made of right now. This

is what it's all about.”
The Red Sox might have thought
they had evicted the ghosts of
failures past when, one strike from
elimination, they staged an almost
miraculous recovery to" win the
American League pennant against
California and then won the first two
Series games against the Mets.
But the demons are still there,
lurking.
Some players prefer to look at the
bright side. By winning the first two
games, the Sox had forced the Mets
to use their best pitchers on short
rest while Boston could give its aces
the full complement of time off bet-
ween starts.
So Bruce Hurst goes on four days’
rest tonight against Dwight Gooden,
who will be pitching with only three
days off. And Roger Clemens starts
Saturday night in New York on five
days' rest against Bob Ojeda, who
will have had just three days bet-
ween starts.
"I still feel confident about the
next two games," said second
baseman Marty Barrett, Boston’s
leading hitter in the Series with
7-for-17. "The matchups favor us.
They’re pitching on short rest and
that's tough."
Spoken bravely after losing two
straight at home.
"Don’t ask me to figure it out,”
center fielder Dave Henderson said.
"This is baseball. Everything is kind
of weird. Being at home doesn’t
mean anything.
“You could have said we had con-
trol when we won the first two games
in their place. It didn’t turn out that
way. Nobody has control.”
What the Red Sox do have,
Throughout consideration of the
Farm Bill. I supported the marketing
loan approach which allows a produ-
cer to repay his Commodity Credit
Corporation at the world market
price. The marketing loan program's
success is evident in the substantial
increase in cotton sales in the less
than one month period the cotton
program has been in effect Pro-
ducers are realizing a price that is
significantly above the loan rate, and
together with th* provisions of the
bill, we will witness increased in
comes. Additionally our exports
should increase threefold by the end
at the 1986 marketing year.
Unlike mandatory production eon
trols. the marketing loan is as fair to
small farmers as it is to larger
producers. It will not devestate our
rural communities, a* would the
proposal for mandatory production
controls now being advocated by
some. The marketing loan approach
would protect jobs throughout our
agricultural community, not destroy
those jobs as would the proposal for
strict mandatory production controls
it will not rain the livestock industry
and does not violate a farmer's
absolute right to decide what and
how much he is going to plant on hb
own farm.
Farm programs will always be
controversial, but we must show
responsible, effective leadership to
ensure the survival of our farms,
agri-business and rural way of life It
is an investment in agriculture we
must make

BOSTON (AP) - History hangs
heavy over the Boston Red Sox, like
a big black cloud sitting over pic-
turesque Fenway Park, just waiting
to open up on them.
Not this time, they thought. Not
after they had won the first two
games of the World Series on the
road against the New York Mets. Not
coming home, needing just two wins
in three games to claim baseball’s
1986 championship.
Not so fast.

BOSTON i AP 1 — Wade Boggs and
Bill Buckner are hurting, so are their
bats. And that's hurting the Boston
Red Sox.
Boggs led the American League
with a .357 average, and Buckner, a
one-time National League batting
champ, hit 18 homers and drove in
102 runs
Suddenly, though, their bats are
quiet — at a most unfortunate time
for their team.
"I have to be concerned, but what
can I do about it?" Manager John
McNamara said after the Red Sox'
6-2 loss to the New York Mets left the
World Senes squared at two games
apiece.
"These are two fine players and
they will come out of it; they have
come out of it before," McNamara
added.
Boggs, Boston's leadoff hitter, and
Buckner, the No. 3 batter, are hobbl-
ed by leg and foot injuries, but insist
on playing.
They contributed as Boston, bid-
ding for its first World Series cham-
pionship in 68 years, jumped to a 2-0
start in New York.
But. except for a single by Boggs in

SWBT urges Texans to become
informed voters
Thtnk back to last October. If you are like most of us, you probably
had only a vague notion of what the strange word — sesquicenten-
nial — meant A year later, I would wager that there are very few
Texans who aren't familiar with the terms meaning. Ferhaps a few of
us even learned how to spell and pronounce it.
Although many people may have grown a bit weary of the festivities
surrounding Texas century-and-a-half birthday, no one can deny
that this event put the Lone Star State in the nations spotlight.
Before that attention is diverted from us, however, we have one last
opportunity to show the rest of the country that Texas is a dynamic
state, committed to shaping its own future. And what better way to
prove that fact, than by Texans voting in record numbers during the
November general elections?
Few people would disagree that this years elections are especially
critical to our state, in light of our difficult economic situation.
There is no doubt that the people we elect next month will be chart-
ing the future of Texas Since each of us has a stake in this process,
we must be certain our voices are heard by casting our ballot.
However, voting demands responsibility. Many would contend that
it is better not to vote, than to vote without a firm grasp of the issues.
As citizens of this state, we have an obligation to learn about each
candidates platform so that we are able to vote with the conviction of
our beliefs.
Southwestern Bell Telephone is a strong advocate of our election
process, and we encourage our employees to become Informed voters.
If they are so inclined, we encourage employees to become active in
all levels of government.
Although we've heard it before, we all need to be reminded, now
and again, that a democracy is only as strong as the people who
participate in it. So this November, learn the issues and cast an
Informed vote.
guestions ou a taxing subject
While on the subject of those things governmental and civic. I'd
like to pose a couple of questions I heard on the radio the other day
from a national columnist. They are on a favorite topic of most
Texans ... taxes. Perhaps this exercise will give you something to
ponder in your idle time.
guestion #1 — is it possible to divert taxes from individuals to
businesses-’
Some people would argue that when businesses do receive higher
tax bills, they simply pass that surcharge along to the customer —
that 's you and me
The reality is that in todays economy there are probably few
businesses able — and fewer still willing — to absorb a greater tax
burden. Proof of the unsettled business environment can be seen in
the rash of recent bankruptcies.
Then. Is it better to pay higher individual taxes or higher prices at
the counter? Wk must decide that answer for ourselves.
guestion * 3 — is it better to levy taxes from the federal or from
the local level?
Corollary #1 — Does it matter, aren't we going to end up paying
the bill anyway?
One argument can be made that when taxes are paid locally, there
are fewer middlemen to claim a portion of those monies. Additionally,
some would say local tax revenue can be monitored more dosely by
local residents Theoretically, this allows each of ua to have more of a
say regarding how funds are spent.
Is this type of control evident in your community? If you answered.
■No." speak up at your towns next council meeting. Yur elected offi-
cials want to hear from you.

As you probably guessed , there are no right or wrong answers to
these questions. This is usually the case when discussing compli-
cated issues. However. I hope this short quiz may have started you
thinking. We all need to give these kinds of topics some thought
After all. any constructive act has to begin with an idea. Peraps
something great will come from one of yours.
Game 3, they've been handcuffed as
the Mets won 7-1 Tuesday night and
then tied the best-of-seven series
Wednesday night.
“I’m a leadoff hitter, I’m supposed
to get things going," Boggs said. “I
haven't done anything.”
"When you don't score, you don’t
win, and that's frustrating,” said
Buckner, who, like Boggs, spent
plenty of time in the trainer’s room.
Boggs and Buckner were not the
only culprits as Boston left 11 run-
ners on base, including seven in scor-
ing position in Game 4.
They had to take a major share of
the blame, though. Boggs was
O-for-5. leaving five runners on base.
Buckner was 0-for-4 and also left five
men stranded.
Dwight Evans, who had an RBI
single when Boston scored twice in
the eighth inning, shouldered blame
for grounding into a forceout with the
bases loaded in the first against New-
York starter Ron Darling.
"I had a shot at him in the first inn-
ing. but the man pitched well, didn’t
give us anything to hit,” Evans said.
"We had an opportunity to score
some runs, but we didn’t," said cat-
cher Rich Gedman. who had three of
Boston's seven hits.
however, is history. It does not play
in their favor.
The last time Boston won a World
Series was 1918, so long ago that the
ace of the Red Sox’pitching staff was
a left-hander named Babe Ruth.
Three times since then — in 1946,
1967 and 1975 - the team has gone to
the seventh game of a Series only to
lose.
In '46, they dropped the final two
games of the Series to St. Louis, the
last one on Enos Slaughter's mad
dash around the bases. The memory
of that failure won’t fade away,
either, because Johnny Pesky, who
held the ball as Slaughter was runn-
ing through a stop sign at third base,
is a part-time coach for the current
Red Sox.
In '67, they trailed St. Louis 3-1,
then won the next two games to tie
the Series, only to drop Game 7 at
home.
In '75, they won Game 6, perhaps
the most memorable World Series
game in history, on Carlton Fisk's
foul pole home run. Then they lost
Game 7 at home.
In 1949, they went into New York in
the final weekend of the season,
needing one win in two games to
clinch the pennant. The Yankees won
both games and the Red Sox finished
second.
In 1978, they blew a 14-game lead
and were beaten by New York in a
division playoff on a home run by
slap-hitting Bucky Dent.
Wednesday night, one Red Sox
loyalist paraded around Fenway-
Park, performing a little exorcism of
his own with this sign: "Bucky Dent
is dead." ‘
Not so fast, Boston. Not so fast.

Hereford, as most
Whiteface followers are cer-
tainly aware of, has not lost a
game in Whiteface Stadium
since Sept 28, 1984, when
Amarillo High thumped the
Herd 45-0
There is also another little
piece of history. The last time
the Herd faced the Eagles
was in 1983 and the Herd
posted a 33-0 victory making
it the fifth straight win over
the Eagles.
