THE NEWS-TELEGRAM, Sulphur Springs, Texas, Wednesday, July 11,1980
ire building under smokeless tobacco useage
By LINDSEY TANNER
Associated Press Sports Writer
l CHICAGO (AP) — Snuff and
baseball are a time-honored tradi-
tion, but a new study on the dan-
gers of smokeless tobacco indicates
today’s players may be turning over
anew leaf.
The study in today’s Journal of
-the American Medical Association
examined 1,109 major and minor
leaguers, and found that 46 percent
of those who used snuff or diewing
tobacco had developed potentially
precancerous mouth lesions.
1 Previous studies have linked
long-term smokeless tobacco use
with such lesions and oral cancer in
the general population. The tobacco
industry disputes that a link has
been “scientifically established,’’ a
spokesman said Tuesday.
But reseaichers, led by
epidemiologist Virginia Emster at
the University of California's San
Francisco campus, **said they
focused on baseball players
“because of their high rates of
smokeless tobacco use and because
they are role models for young
men.”
Of those studied, 39 percent said
they use some form oi smokeless
tobacco.
But, according to the researchers,
“there are indications of change
within the culture of professional
baseball.
“Many teams have banned the
availability of free smokeless
tobacco products in their club-
houses and now provide informa-
tion on the health effects ... to their
players,” the researchers wrote.
The study took place during
1988 spring training and examined
players for the California Angels,
Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians,
Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Ath-
letics, San Francisco Giants and
Seattle Mariners, and each of the
teams’ minor-league affiliates.
Oral lesions were found in 1.4
percent of the players who said
they didn’t use smokeless tobacco,
and in 2.5 percent of those who had
used smokeless tobacco within a
month of the study.
But 46.3 percent of players who
had used smokeless tobacco within
a week of the study had the lesions
known as leukoplakia, a usually
whitish patch of thickened skin that
forms as a protective response to an
irritant
Although the lesions sometimes
turn into oral cancer, none of the
players studied had developed the
disease.
Gum disease also was more
prevalent in users than in nonusers,
the study found.
Among those studied, the
median duration of smokeless
tobacco pse was five years.
. Among players who had used
snuff widim a week of the study,
55.6 percent had oral lesions, com-
pared to 17.2 percent of the cur-
rent-week chewing tobacco users.
“Snuff might be more likely to
cause leukoplakia because it is
generally held in one position”
snugly between the lower lip or
cheek and gum, while chewing
tobacco is held loosely in the
cheek, the researchers said.
“Smokeless tobacco has always
been part of the game. Players have
had access to it in the clubhouse
area. It’s just like having chewing
gum, candy soda, whatever,” said
Mario Ziino, spokesman for the '
Milwaukee Brewers.
Still, Ziino said, “The players
have been more aware of the
problems that smokeless tobacco-
may cause, and therefore quite a
few of them have cut back.”
Nevertheless, the tobacco in-
dustry believes any health problem
associated with the product “hasn’t
been scientifically established,”
said Ward Hubbcll, a spokesman
for the Smokeless Tobacco
Council.
The industry “says it’s a continu-
ing scientific controversy,” Hubbell
said.

Bickerstaff coached die Sonics
for five seasons before resigning on
May 15 to move into the front
office. He was replaced on the
bench by assistant K.C. Jones.
“I come all the way out here to
renew a close relationship and all

said with mock irritation. Jones left
the Boston Celtics to join Bick-

“You always hate to see good

The Nuggets have been search-

April, when assistant coach Allan
Bristow rejected the job and chose
to become vice president for bas-
ketball operations of the Charlotte
Hornets.
Denver has considered nearly a

Nash, who accepted a similar offer
from the Washington Bullets, and
Georgetown coach John

MONT BLANC, France (AP) —
Steve Bauer may have tost the
yellow jersey of the leader at the
Tour de France, but he intends to
get it back.
The Canadian wore the jersey for
the first 10 days of the Tour. But
Ronan Pensec of France overtook
him on the 10th stage and the first
hard climb of the cycling event.
“Thc Tourisn’t tost yet,” Bauer
said. “1 am concentrating on die fu-
ture now. There is a time trial on
Thursday and anything can happen.
Everything isn’t over yet”
Bauer faltered on the final climb
in Tuesday’s 73.5-mile leg that star-
ted in Geneva, Switzerland and en-
ded near Mont Blanc, the highest
peak in Europe.
In the last 2'A miles, Pensec
broke away with a small group as
Bauer tost contact with the main
pack.
Pensec came in 16th, 2 minutes,
29 seconds behind stage winner
Thierry Claveyrolet of France.
Bauer struggled in about four
minutes behind Claveyrolet.
Pensec went in the overall lead
by 50 seconds over Claudio
Cihiappucci of Italy with Bauer
third, 1:21 back.
Bauer led by 17 seconds overall
entering the day. Bauer had held
first since the opening stage, but
only by a small margin over Pensec
throughout the week.
“I am not that disapppointed in
losing the yellow jersey,” Bauer
said. “I am taking it day by day and
my objective is still the podium.”
Pensec felt this was the ideal
birthday present, He turned 27
Tuesday.
“To have the yellow jersey on
my birthday, it’s fabulous,” Pensec
said. “It is the best gift I could
have.”
Pensec is a member of defending
champion Greg LeMond’s ‘Z’
team, and should be working to
help LeMond, designated as the
team leader.
LeMond doesn’t see that as a
problem.
“There’s no problem between
Ronan and me,” LeMond said.
“Maybe the journalists would like
it, but there’s no problem. ”
LeMond is now eighth in the
overall standings, 9:52 behind Pen-
sec.
“Greg is nonetheless just 10
minutes behind me, and that’s noth-
ing,” Pensac said. “My problem
will be to stay with the leaders
throughtathe mountains.”
Claveyrolet broke away early
and made a solitary effort for the
stage victory.
Today’s stage is the hardest of
the Tour with the difficult climb up
l’Alpe d’Huez and its 21 turns up
to the summiL It is 113.5 miles.
Thompson, who declined a five-
year contract reportedly worth
more than $6 million. *
Bickerstaff was believed to
cdhimand a $350,000 contract with
Seattle when he assumed the execu-
tive position in May. He said he
was explicit in his demands for
answering directly to Denver
ownership.
“For five years with the Sonics,
Bob (Whitsitt) and I handled all the
player contracts so I know all
phases of the game,” Bickerstaff
said.

Tuesday night at Eagle Park. The
loss eliminated Sulphur Springs,
which had beaten Paris 7-6 in first
round action.
Sulphur Springs scored two runs
in each erf the first two innings.
The Flyhawks managed only
four hits in the contest. Jason
Wright led the way with a double
while Donny Clayton, Chris
Voorheese and Shane Mize each
had singles.
Texarkana can clinch the title by
beating Paris in a 5:30 p.m. contest

Dibble got two quick strikes on
Franco, clocking 99 mph on the
radar gun. NL manager Roger
Craig of San Francisco decided to
go with Dibble after the rain delay
because Jeff Brantley had stiffened
while waiting. Sitting next to
Chicago Cubs manager Don Zim-
mer in the dugout, Craig wasn’t
surprised when Dibble tried to get
by with the 0-2 pitch.
“Once the count got to 0-and-2,1
turned to Zimmer and said, ‘He’s a
power pitcher and when it’s 0-and-
2, a power pitcher usually throws it
over the plate.’ I no sooner got the
words out of my mouth than Franco
hit the double.”
Franco became the first Ranger
to ever win the MVP award and
only the second second baseman to
do it, following Cincinnati’s Joe
Morgan in 1972.
