Lavardo Deveaux had a home run, drove in three RBI and scored three runs. Daniel Gator drove

Japan, Canada and the Dominican Republic. Major 70 is a level of baseball beyond Little League but before professional that allows players to play on 70-foot base paths with a 50-foot pitching distance. It also allows runners to take leads and steal for the first time, playing mainly by official baseball rules. This innovation helped to prepare the youth for better transition to the 90-foot diamonds of the Babe Ruth Baseball 13-15 and 16-18 divisions of play. Today, the Babe Ruth League has more than 1,000,000 players on 56,000 teams in 9,000 leagues in eight countries and all 50 states.

‘Storm’ earns pro bodybuilding card By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

rand Bahamian Charnice Bain became the latest Bahamian to earn her professional bodybuilding card, although it went under the radar in the Bahamas Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation and not highlighted like the other accomplishments of Bahamian bodybuilders. The highlight was on the team that recently participated in the Central American and Caribbean Bodybuilding Championships in Mexico City where they finished with nine medals, including three gold, for second place. Competing at the 2018 NPC Teen Collegiate and Masters National Championships in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 18, Bain was awarded the honour after she won the Figure title. As she returned home to celebrate, Bain said when one achieves a victory from a goal they were determined to reach, they accomplish three things: “You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, nothing happens before its time and you must never give up,” said Bain, also known as “Storm.” Bain said she received that revelation after winning the title. “I just asked the Lord to use me to inspire Bahamians to stop giving up,” she stated. “I am a trainer and I see so many people giving up and quitting on their weight loss journey. “Even when they achieve their goals, a lot of them give up and put the weight back on. That’s why the motto for our gym, Body4Ever, is ‘We get fit, we stay fit.’” Bain said it has been a long journey for her and the road wasn’t always easy, but she managed to persevere, having competed in the Miss Bahamas Body Fitness three times.

Fox Hill children get free shoes thanks to Wildcats By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball programme launched their Big Blue Bahamas Tour with a community outreach initiative. The Wildcats partnered with Samaritan’s Feet International to conduct a free shoe distribution to children in the Fox Hill area at Faith Assembly of God, Johnson Road and Scott Alley. Team members and head coach John Calipari washed the feet of over 150 children and supplied them with new pairs of socks and sneakers. Emmanuel “Manny” Ohonme, founder of Samaritan’s Feet International, continues the work of outfitting those in the same socioeconomic situation he faced as a young boy in Nigeria. “Sometimes the kids we think are underserved and underprivileged are sometimes the ones that are the key to helping us transform our future. Being a child that was supposed to be an underprivileged kid myself who grew up poor and not having food, much less shoes, a missionary gave me my first pair of shoes when I was nine years old. It was then I realised that I am blessed. As I came to America to play basketball and pursue my career and

did all the things I had to do. My father passed away and when I went back to Africa I saw the need,” Ohonme said. “I thought somebody had to do something about it and I realised over a billion and-a-half people were infected with diseases because they didn’t have shoes. So, we started this to equip those children. I believe the Bahamas may have some of the most joyous amazing young people that will be able to one day help us transform and change the world.” Samaritan’s Feet seeks to inspire hope through the gift of shoes, the act of washing feet, and encouragement to those who need it most. According to the organisation’s website, Samaritan’s Feet and its partners have distributed over 6.5 million pairs of shoes in 91 countries and 366 US cities since its founding in 2003. It marked the second time the Wildcats partnered with the organisation during a visit to the Bahamas. Calipari leads his team on the Big Blue Bahamas Tour, a four-game eight-day trip, August 6-13 where they will face several professional teams at the Imperial Arena. “I have great kids. I have some older players, some veterans, last year we had all freshmen. But we have some veteran players

You have to have a real passion for bodybuilding, I learned over the years that you have to be extremely humble in this particular sport of bodybuilding because a lot of people will tell you ‘you look good’ and it could get to your head.” Bain said she realised that judging is subjective and sometimes the judging may not go in your favour. “You have to humble yourself and be able to continue to rise up and improve your symmetry,” she stated. “In figure, it’s all about the lines, having the best symmetrical

The team follows with games against San Lorenzo de Almagro (Argentina) August 9 at 7pm, Mega Bemax (Serbia) at 7pm on August 11 and Team Toronto at 4pm on August 12. Team Toronto will feature a group of top select Canadian players put together by head coach Roy Rana, who led the 2019 U-19 Canadian team to the gold medal at the FIBA World Championships.

I build muscles quick, so he knows when to start training me on certain body parts and when to adjust my weight training.” When she started out, Bain said she was training herself, but she knew that if she wanted to go to the next level, she needed the extra help, so she relied on the best person to get the job done, her husband. “That was a year ago. Last year, I was on stage battling for a pro card. I got a silver medal,” she remembered. “Fast forward to this year and the rest as they say is history.”

All games will be broadcasted live on ESPN’s SEC Network. The ESPN college basketball crew of Tom Hart, Seth Greenberg and Dan Dakich will be on the call. Kentucky’s Big Blue Bahamas tour is a joint venture between Complete Sports Management and the Bahamas Basketball Federation. The Wildcats have travelled to the Bahamas twice under Calipari. Prior to the 2014-15 season, Kentucky competed at the “Big Blue Bahamas Tour” with games against the Dominican Republic national team, Puerto Rican national team reserves and Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket (France) at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium. Kentucky went on to post a 38-1 record that season which included an undefeated regular season, SEC regular-season and tournament titles, and a trip to the Final Four. The ‘Cats returned in 2016 when they defeated the Arizona State Sun Devils 115-69 in the Atlantis Showcase at the Imperial Arena. In conjunction with the tour, the programme will host the seventh annual “John Calipari Basketball Fantasy Experience.” Kentucky finished last season 26-11 and advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.

Now that she has earned her pro card, Bain said her goal is to go on to compete at the best of her ability against the world’s best. “I compete with myself and focus on improving my own body because at the end of the day, that’s all that matters,” she pointed out. “Anyone wanting to achieve a pro level in bodybuilding will need to have discipline, to be consistent, willing to make a whole lot of sacrifices and put in the hard work. “As for what’s next for me, a lot of training, even harder because I’m just getting started.”

LYNN’S SOLID OUTING HELPS YANKEES BEAT WHITE SOX CHICAGO (AP) — Lance Lynn pitched two-hit ball into the eighth inning in his first start with New York, and the Yankees rebounded from their tough weekend in Boston by beating the Chicago White Sox 7-0 on Monday. Lynn provided a big boost for New York after it dropped a season-high five straight games, including a four-game sweep by the major league-leading Red Sox. The series concluded with Aroldis Chapman blowing a save opportunity in a 10-inning loss at Fenway Park late Sunday night. Enter Lynn (8-8), who was acquired in a trade with Minnesota on July 30 and tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings in relief in his Yankees debut Wednesday. The veteran right-hander, who replaced Sonny Gray in New York’s rotation, retired 19 in a row before Nicky Delmonico led off the eighth with a single to right. After Tim Anderson flied out, A.J. Cole finished the three-hitter for the AL wild-card leaders. Dylan Covey (4-8) was charged with four runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings.

The right-hander dropped to 1-6 in his last seven starts.

Cleveland’s 12th shutout.

AL-leading

INDIANS 10, TWINS 0 CLEVELAND (AP) — Trevor Bauer struck out 11 and allowed three hits in six innings, and the Cleveland Indians hit four home runs in routing the Minnesota Twins 10-0 on Monday night. Bauer (11-6) has 206 strikeouts this season, one behind Boston’s Chris Sale for the AL lead. The righthander has 10 double-figure strikeout games, tying him with Sale for the league lead. Bauer also leads the AL with 159 2/3 innings pitched. Edwin Encarnacion drove in four runs, including a three-run homer in the seventh. Yonder Alonso, Brandon Guyer and Jason Kipnis also homered for Cleveland, which leads Minnesota by 10 games in the AL Central. Alonso’s home run started Cleveland’s four-run fourth while Guyer added a two-run shot, both coming off Kyle Gibson (5-9). Adam Cimber, Oliver Perez and Dan Otero each pitched an inning to close

DIAMONDBACKS 3, PHILLIES 2 (14 INNINGS) PHOENIX (AP) — David Peralta hit his second solo homer off the game off the top of the wall in the 14th inning and the Diamondbacks rallied from a two-run deficit in the ninth to beat the Phillies. The Diamondbacks had the winning run in scoring position in the ninth through 13th innings and couldn’t get the hit they needed. Peralta finally ended it, hitting the first pitch he saw from Austin Davis (1-2) off the wall and out in leftcenter. Peralta was mobbed at the plate after ending the Phillies’ six-game winning streak with one swing. Yoshihisa Hirano (3-2) didn’t allow a hit the final two innings, with Jorge Alfaro just missing a homer to right for the final out of the 14th. ROCKIES 2, PIRATES 0 DENVER (AP) — Kyle Freeland and the Colorado bullpen combined on a twohitter to help the Rockies beat the Pirates in a game that was interrupted 32 minutes by rain. Freeland (10-7) allowed two hits and struck out five over seven stellar innings. Relievers Seunghwan Oh and Wade Davis combined to close out the win. Davis pitched a perfect ninth for his 32nd save in 38 chances. It was a positive step for a beleaguered bullpen that endured three walk-off losses — two by Davis — during a 2-5 road swing. Joe Musgrove (4-6) retired the first 12 batters he faced before allowing a single to Nolan Arenado on the first pitch of the fifth. The right-hander scattered four hits over seven innings and allowed two runs, one earned. CUBS 3, ROYALS 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Javier Baez went deep, Cole Hamels pitched six strong innings and the Cubs beat the Royals. Baez hit the first pitch from reliever Kevin McCarthy (4-4) in the sixth inning to center for his 25th home run, putting the Cubs ahead 2-1. Baez doubled in the eighth to score Jason Heyward, upping his RBI total to an NL-leading 88. Hamels (7-9) is 2-0 since the Cubs acquired him in a July 27 trade with the Texas Rangers. He allowed one run and seven hits. METS 6, REDS 4 NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie Jeff McNeil homered in getting three more hits with his most unusual bat, leading Noah Syndergaard and the Mets over the Reds in a matchup of struggling teams.

Wilmer Flores, playing on his 27th birthday, and Austin Jackson each had three hits and Kevin Plawecki homered for the Mets. Both clubs had lost five of six going into the series opener. Before it began, Reds pitcher Matt Harvey was honored with a video tribute, with the former Mets ace drawing a mix of cheers and boos in his first game at Citi Field since being traded to Cincinnati in May. McNeil’s homer made it 6-0, and Syndergaard (7-2) seemed to be in complete charge when he retired the first batter in the seventh. But he then hit the next two batters with pitches and the Reds went on to rally for four runs. Homer Bailey (1-9) took the loss. MARLINS 2, CARDINALS 1 MIAMI (AP) — Javy Guerra cleaned up a ninthinning mess created by struggling closer Kyle Barraclough, getting Yadier Molina to hit into a double play to end the Marlins’ victory over the Cardinals. After Wei-Yin Chen pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-hit ball, Miami led 2-0 going into the ninth and handed the game off to Barraclough. Paul DeJong and Harrison Bader opened the inning with hard-hit singles, then Yairo Munoz walked. Pinch-hitter Kolten Wong struck out swinging, but Matt Carpenter drew a bases-loaded walk to make it 2-1 and end Barraclough’s night. Guerra got Molina to bounce into a double play for his first save since Sept. 27, 2014 while with the Chicago White Sox. Luke Weaver (6-10) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings for St. Louis. Chen (4-8) struck out four and walked two. ASTROS 3, GIANTS 1 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Roberto Osuna got the win in his first appearance with Houston after Marwin Gonzalez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting the Astros over the Giants. Osuna (1-0) hadn’t pitch in the majors since May 6 while serving a 75-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy. Osuna was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays last Monday in a deal that sent back closer Ken Giles, and he became eligible to pitch Sunday. A few fans booed when he entered the game in the eighth inning. He retired the side in order on five pitches. Hector Rondon closed out the 2-hour, 26-minute game with his 12th save in 15 chances. San Francisco closer Will Smith (1-2) blew his second save in nine opportunities after issuing walks to Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel.

Gonzalez followed with a towering drive to left for his 10th homer. ANGELS 6, TIGERS 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Andrelton Simmons hit a two-run homer and made several spectacular defensive plays to lead the Angels to a victory over the Tigers. Eric Young Jr. hit his first homer of the season, drove in two runs and made a diving catch in deep center field to end the eighth inning for the Angels, who won for just the second time in eight games. Simmons stepped up with two key hits and two runs while Mike Trout missed his fifth consecutive game with a sore right wrist for the Angels. The two-time AL MVP’s injury absence is the second-longest of his big-league career, surpassed only by the 39 games he missed last season with a torn thumb ligament. Nicholas Castellanos hit a first-inning homer, but the Tigers managed just three hits as their offensive slump continued. Nick Tropeano (5-6) pitched five innings of onehit ball and retired 12 of his

final 13 batters before heading to the clubhouse after just 62 pitches with shoulder tightness. Matthew Boyd (6-10) pitched six-hit ball into the sixth inning, but took his sixth loss in nine starts overall. MARINERS 4, RANGERS 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ryon Healy had a go-ahead RBI single with two outs in the 12th inning and the Mariners beat the Rangers after blowing an early three-run lead. Mitch Haniger scored from second base when Healy hit a hard grounder through the left side of the infield. Haniger had doubled into the left field corner off Eddie Butler (2-2) a pitch after Jean Segura was thrown out trying to steal second base. Sam Tuivailala (4-3), the seventh Seattle pitcher, had a perfect 11th for his first decision in four appearances since getting acquired July 27 in a trade from St. Louis. Edwin Diaz pitched the 12th for his majors-best 42nd save in 45 chances despite allowing a pair of singles.

WNBA teams jockey for playoff and draft lottery position By DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer NEW YORK (AP) — While most WNBA teams are battling for playoff spots in one of the league’s most competitive postseason races, New York, Indiana, Chicago and Las Vegas are jockeying for the draft lottery position. The league changed the lottery system in 2015 to include teams’ record over a two-year span to avoid teams tanking to get the top draft pick. Indiana has the best odds to get No. 1 with a 14-48 mark over the past two seasons. Las Vegas, which is still in the playoff hunt, currently has the secondbest chance, two games ahead of Chicago in the two-year standings. The Aces put more distance with Chicago yesterday when the league ruled their game against Washington last Friday would be a forfeit after the Las Vegas players decided not to play because of health and safety after travelling for 26 hours to get to D.C. New York, which finished with the third-best record last season, has assured itself the worst chance to get the No. 1 pick this year. The Las Vegas franchise has had the top pick the last two years. While there was no doubt that A’ja Wilson was the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft, no leading candidate has emerged yet for next year’s pick. There are a lot of talented college seniors in the draft, including guard Asia Durr of Louisville, forward Katie Lou Samuelson of UConn and centres Kalani Brown of Baylor and Teaira McCowan of Mississippi State.

LUCK TO MAKE START, MAY PLAY MOST OF 1ST QUARTER AT SEATTLE By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

IN this file photo, New York Liberty’s Marissa Coleman, centre huddles with teammates during a preseason game against the Connecticut Sun. While most of the WNBA is vying for playoff positioning in one of the most competitive finishes to a WNBA regular season, New York, Indiana, Chicago and Las Vegas are jockeying for the draft lottery. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill) Who goes No. 1 might come down to the need of the team that gets the top pick. POWER POLL: A look at this week’s WNBA poll which Seattle still sits atop : 1. Seattle (22-7): With a playoff berth locked up, the Storm are now trying to secure the No. 1 seed and a bye to the semi-finals. 2. Atlanta (18-10): A huge win in Minnesota has moved the Dream closer to clinching a playoff spot. While catching Seattle will be tough, the two seed is definitely within Atlanta’s grasp. 3. Los Angeles (17-11): Finally healthy and playing solid defence has helped the Sparks turn things around.

4. Phoenix (16-13): Mercury are still struggling to find consistency and a replacement for Sancho Lyttle, who suffered a season-ending injury a few weeks ago. 5. Connecticut (16-12): Sun have seen a reemergence of Jonquel Jones lately and that’s helped buoy the team’s four straight wins. 6. Washington (17-11): Kristi Toliver scored final eight points to help Mystics beat Dallas in a pivotal game. Mystics are in the mix for at least a first-round playoff bye. 7. Minnesota (15-13): Had a chance to gain ground with games against the top three teams in the league and went 0-3.

8. Dallas (14-14): Wings have dropped five straight games and are fortunate they have a cushion over ninth place Las Vegas. 9. Las Vegas (12-16): Just can’t get any kind of momentum to make a playoff push. 10. Chicago (10-18): Dug a big hole early in the season because of injuries and have been trying to climb out ever since. 11. New York (7-21): Mired in longest losing streak since 2013 with seven straight defeats. It’s going to be a long offseason again for the Liberty. 12. Indiana (5-23): Won consecutive games for the first time in over a year and are trending in the right direction.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK Tiffany Hayes averaged 20.6 points, three rebounds and two assists to help the Dream go 2-1 this week. Other players receiving votes were Los Angeles’ Candace Parker, Seattle’s Breanna Stewart, Connecticut’s Jasmine Thomas and Indiana’s Candice Dupree. CAREER MILESTONE Candace Parker scored her 5,000th career point Sunday when she hit a free throw in the first half against Phoenix. The 32-year-old star became the 20th player in league history to reach that score plateau.

WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Andrew Luck spent two straight offseasons contemplating how it would feel to play football again. He’ll find out Thursday night. Coach Frank Reich announced yesterday that Luck would start and could play most of the first quarter in the Indianapolis Colts’ preseason opener at Seattle. “I’ll be excited and a little nervous,” Luck acknowledged after practice. “There were one or two moments where I wondered if, ‘Am I ever going to be able to do this again?’” He wasn’t the only one asking that question during a nearly 600-day wait between starts. And he’s not the only one who will be nervous lining up against the Seahawks’ traditionally strong defence. Much has changed since Luck performed in a televised game. There’s a new general manager and a new coach in town. There’s been another new offence installed and Luck is still trying to learn everybody’s names. Even the once formidable offence has undergone a major revamp. Rookie Quenton Nelson and free agent signee Matt Slauson have moved in as the new starting guards. Tight Eric Ebron and receiver Ryan Grant are promising new targets for Luck, who will be handing off to second-year running back Marlon Mack for the first time in a game Thursday. Luck can’t wait to see how it all works together — even if it takes an entire preseason to work out the kinks.

SPIETH TO TAKE ANOTHER RUN AT CAREER GRAND SLAM IN PGA By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer ST LOUIS (AP) — The spotlight was downright searing when Jordan Spieth arrived at Quail Hallow last summer, fresh off a victory at Royal Birkdale that had put him on the precipice of the career Grand Slam. He didn’t wilt. Didn’t even wither. Spieth just didn’t win, putting together four consistent-if-unspectacular rounds that left him tied for 28th, well behind good buddy Justin Thomas. It was a good PGA Championship for a player that had come to expect greatness or at least have greatness expected of him. But it also meant an entire year waiting for another shot at the Slam. “I think I was probably a little more anxious last year, just because there was a big focus right after winning the Open Championship,” Spieth said yesterday as thunder boomed and rain pelted Bellerive Country Club, washing out many practice rounds. “I was fresh, in form, going to a place where if I worked up the leaderboard I could create a lot of noise.” That noise? It’s softened considerably during the last year, and the spotlight that accompanied him to Quail Hallow shines a little less brightly on Spieth in St. Louis. He’s yet to win since Royal Birkdale, the missed cuts becoming too frequent for comfort. He looked as if he might be turning the corner at the British Open last month when he shot 65 on Saturday to surge into contention, but a birdie-less Sunday and final-round 76 dropped him to the wayside. He followed that with three rounds in the 70s at the Bridgestone Invitational last week, leaving him a full 20 shots off the pace — and outside the top 20 for the eighth consecutive event.

“I’m a little under the radar this year, and I don’t mind it,” Spieth acknowledged, “but at the same time, this tournament will always be circled until hopefully I win it one day.” The 25-year-old Spieth has only taken that one crack at joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tiger Woods in completing the modern Grand Slam. But history suggests that if he doesn’t lift the Wannamaker Trophy soon, Spieth might never accomplish the feat.

JORDAN SPIETH Nicklaus needed just three tries after winning the PGA in ‘63 to win his first British Open, and Player likewise needed three tries after the ‘65 U.S. Open to win his first British. Woods needed about a month between the U.S. Open and British Open in 2000, then added the PGA a few weeks later and the Masters the following year to hold all four majors at the same time. “I only had to think about it for about a month,” Woods said of the career Slam. “I had won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the Open Championship was at St Andrews a month later, so I wasn’t really asked a lot, other than, ‘What would it be like to complete the career Grand Slam at St. Andrews?’” He certainly didn’t have to endure the questions that

followed Arnold Palmer, who tried for more than three decades to finish the Slam at the PGA, or Tom Watson, or spent 24 years chasing it. Or the questions that have started to follow Rory McIlroy, who needs to win the Masters, and Phil Mickelson, who has played the U.S. Open five times without capturing the only major he’s missing. “Having had a few goes at it, I think less expectations is better,” McIlroy said. “Trying to take pressure off yourself, trying to treat it like any normal week, just trying to win the golf tournament that week, sort of put it out of your head that what winning this golf tournament would mean in terms of your legacy and your place in the game. So, yeah, I mean I can probably relate a little bit.” If nothing else, Spieth should have plenty of support this week. His beloved grandfather, Bob Julius, and most of his mother’s side of the family was raised in the St. Louis area. And while Gramps has been there for many of his career-defining moments, there are many distant relatives that will get to see him compete for the first time this week. “It’s really fun,” Spieth said, “when you get a chance to play in front of family.” It would be even more fun to make history in front of them. “I’m sure Jordan feels a little bit different this week than he does the other three majors, but that’s normal,” McIlroy said. “It’s a big deal, but I think, once you get out on the golf course and you start the tournament, all you’re thinking about is trying to shoot good scores and hit good golf shots. “So he’s shown over the past few years he’s mentally very good, so I’m sure he won’t have a problem.”

BOLT AGREES TO PRACTICE DEAL WITH AUSTRALIAN SOCCER CLUB SYDNEY (AP) — Usain Bolt is quickly closing in on a professional soccer career. The Jamaican great has negotiated an “indefinite training period” with Central Coast Mariners in Australia’s A-League. The eight-time Olympic gold medallist and the 100- and 200-metre world record holder has been chasing another career ambition since he quit track and field. “It has been my dream to play professional football and I know that it will involve a lot of hard work and training to get to the level required to play and make an impact in the A-League,” the 31-yearold Bolt said in a statement released by the Mariners yesterday. “I am very excited about coming to Australia and would like to thank the owner and management of the Central Coast Mariners for giving me this opportunity.” The Mariners said the agreement does not

Shaun Mielekamp said he is optimistic about Bolt’s opportunity. “It is important that we don’t get too caught up in the hype of possibilities, but ... we are committed to building a team that will win matches and instill belief, hopefully Usain can help us on this mission,” Mielekamp said. “We welcome Usain with open arms, and we will always remain grounded and focused on the job at hand.” Football Federation Australia responded last month with caution when reports emerged of Bolt’s hopes to play in the A-League. In a statement then, the FFA said: “While Usain Bolt is one of the most famous athletes on the planet, he’s not a professional footballer. If the trial goes ahead and Central Coast Mariners decided it stacks up and they want to offer him a contract, then we will have a discussion with them around that and what might be possible.”

Bolt has negotiated an “indefinite training period” with Central Coast Mariners in Australia’s A-League as he pursues his bid to become a professional soccer player, according to a statement released yesterday. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) guarantee Bolt a professional contract but does give him the opportunity. “I always say that ‘Anything is possible, don’t think limits,’ and I look forward to the challenge,”

said Bolt, who is set to travel to Gosford, north of Sydney, this month to join the squad for practice. The A-League season opens in October. Bolt has already tried to play

with clubs in Germany and South Africa and some critics have regarded speculation of his latest attempt in Australia as a public relations stunt. Mariners chief executive

CAT ISLAND

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — NBA All-Star and former Wake Forest guard Chris Paul is donating $2.5 million in support of the Demon Deacons’ basketball team. The donation announced yesterday is the school’s largest by a former Wake Forest basketball player. School officials say it will assist a project to expand and enhance the men’s and women’s locker rooms, and the men’s locker room will be named for him. Paul says the locker room project “inspired me, because that’s where players build relationships and create a unifying camaraderie.” The Houston Rockets guard and Winston-Salem native led Wake Forest to its first No. 1 ranking in 2004-05 before becoming a nine-time All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medal winner with the US national team.
