Stephens

By DAVID A. HALL
Staff Writer

Thoroughbred trainer Wood-
ford Cel‘is “Woody" Stephens is
very proud ol~ the gold watch hc
wears. It was given to him whcr
he won the 1086 Belmont
Stakes with his horse Danzig
Connection, making him the
only trainer to capture live con-
secutive Belmonts.

Many people consider the ac-
complishment unbeatable.

children will never see that A
record broken." he said.

The watch marks a historic
time iii Stephens' me. but it also
serves as a reminder or the long
career he has had.

Along with the live lleltiionts,
his list ol racing accomplish-
ments during his (ill years iii the
horse business includes two
Kentucky Derby's. three Blue—
grass Stakes arid loiir .»\shland
Stakes winners.

Stephens said that he is proud
of his racing record one
which he believes will stand for
a long time.

“Anything I've wanted to do
I’ve done it 50 times bel‘ore." he
said. “Now I‘m at the point
where l have nothing to prove
any more. I've had an awful lot
ol~ nice things happen to me,"

The “nice things" in Ste-
phens‘ racing career hav e made
him a linn believer in luck.

"You have to be lucky that
you wake tip that morning and
you lind a good sound horse to
run," he said. “That‘s the most
important thing about the Ken-
tucky Derby and those kinds ol~
races there are so many
things that can go wrong."

But lttcky for Stephens, many
ol‘ those mornings have gone
right.

Though best known tor his
Belmont w ins, Stephens said his
greatest thrill iti racing was w iti-
ning the lllllth Kentucky Derby
w itli ('annonade.

"l woti Il iti lrottt ol' the liotne
l'olks." Stephens said. “ That was
a mighty big alternooii. Princess
Margaret handed me that trophy
and I walked back headed for
the press box and l said "This
cottntry boy come a long way.‘"

Stephens began his career
with horses at age l3 in his
hometown ol' Stanton, Ky. lie
was paid $25 a week to break
y‘earlings tor a local banker.

“That pleased me so,“ he said.
“The farm boys were working
so hard arid there was no chance
at making arty money. They
would work all day hoemg l‘or
three dollars a day. But I would
go to work for Mr. Parrish and
be done by l 1."

When Stephens was l5. he
signed a l'ive»year contract with
Parrish as a jockey. But Ste-
phens‘ jockey career was short
and without tnttch success.

”As far as a jockey struggled
I didn‘t make it," he said.
“One day Mr. (John) Ward
(who Stephens rode for) said,
‘Woody, if you have a future in
racing. you got to be a trainer,
not a rider. You go tip and get
your trainer‘s license, it might

Stephens “has been .i good
lrtend to racing. He‘s always
done well and worked hard to
get where he is."

Brtimlteld said that Stcphens‘
lile revolves around horse rac-
itig.

“He’s just a horse trainer. It‘s
his lite," Brtimlicld said. "He
thinks about horses all the time.
If you come tip to him, he‘ll
want to talk about horses."

Stephens said that the busi-
ness has changed a good deal

Singer Vaughan dead at age 66

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES —— Legendary
jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, the
“Divine One" renowned for her llll-
usual range and flowing style pep-
pered with flavors of be-bop and
scat, died of cancer eight days after
her 66th birthday.

Harold" Levy, her manager and
friend, said she died late Tuesday of
lung cancer at her home in the Hid-
den Hills area of the west San Fer-
nando Valley. She had been ill for
nearly a year and was released from
Cedars‘Sinai Medical Center hours
before her death.

”Sarah Vaughan was among the
most powerful, influential and
soulful voices of all time, a perfec-
tionist with an astonishing vocal
range and a genius for conveying
emotion through her music." said
Quincy Jones, who first worked
with Vaughan in 1957 as the ar-
ranger on “Misty."

Some of her other tnetnorable
songs included “Broken-Hearted
Melody," “Send in the Clowns,"
and “If You Could See Me Now“

Vaughan's voice. over which she
had phenomenal control. had lovely
tone and was true in pitch. She had
a mastery of scat singing, impro»
vising, swinging and phrasing.

“‘Why do they always call me a
jazz singer? I'm just a singer.‘ Sa-
rah would always say." Levy said.
“She was a singer's singer. The
greatest."

She once told an interviewer that
horns influenced her tnore than oth—
er singers, which was ex idem from
her harmonic and rhythmic sense.
A ceaseless innovator. she added
that she never sang a song the
same way twice.

Pianist George Shearing, who
worked with Vaughan in the late
19405. said her death was very sig-

nificant for him because she was
the first vocalist he performed Wth
after emigrating to the United
States from Britain.

“She‘s going to be very much
missed in terms of being the exem-
plary voice in the pop field. She
was the best contralto in pop." said
Shearing. “She would hold on to
great, big long notes without vibra-
to."

Vaughan‘s style was formed by
her early assouation with be-bop,
singing with Billy Eckstine. Char-
lie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in
the Earl Hines and Eckstine bands
in the 1940s.

During that time, with her deep,
sultry voice anti dramatic colorings,
she was known as the most distin~
gutshed jazz singer of the '40s.

”Voeally. she was a giant sing-
er,“ said Mel Torme. “Had Sarah
decided to go another way she
would have been a great legit sing—
er. She could have done opera, for
instance.

“She, among very few others I
could think of, had a very extempo-
raneous way of singing. She never
sang a song the same."

Fellow scat-style jazz legend Ella
Fitzgerald said she was too over-
whelmed to comment.

Born in Newark, N.J., on March
37, I924, Vaughan studied piano
from age 7 and was a church choir
member and organist by 12. Her fa-
ther, a carpenter, played guitar, and
her mother sang in the church
choir.

In 1942. she accepted a dare —
trumpeter-trombon1st Jabbo Smith
claimed it was his idea ._ and sang
“Body and Soul" at an Apollo The-
ater amateur contest in Harlem.

“I put her on and, I'll tell you,
she was absolutely astounding." the
Apollo's Ralph Cooper said yester-
day. “She was the tnost unusual

thing to take the stage at the Apol-
lo."

Eckstine heard her and recom—
mended her to Hines as second pia-
nist and co-vocalist with himself.
She made her debut with the Hines
band in 1943 at the Apollo.

She went with Eckstine after he
left Hines a year later to form his
own big band, then sang with John
Kirby‘s group. By 1946 she had es-
tablished herself as a solo artist. In
1949, she was paid $2,500 for a
week at the Apollo.

Her nicknames were “the Divine
One," “the Divine Sarah” and
“Sassy." Often, after she introduced
the musicians accompanying her,
she coyly introduced herself as
“Della Reese."

Vaughan‘s first record was for
Continental Records in 1944.

Other songs she recorded included
“You're Blase," “1 Cover the Water-
front.” “Body and Soul,” “Tender-
ly," “Everything I Have Is Yours,”
“I'll Remember April," “Easy Liv-
ing," “I Remember Clifford."
“Here's That Rainy Day" and
“Don't Blame Me.” She recorded
“Lover Man" in 1945 with Charlie
Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. “Brok-
cn-Hearted Melody“ was in 1958.
“Pcrdido” was with the Basic Band.

Vaughan won Esquire’s new star
award that year and the Down Beat
poll as best female jazz vocalist
from 19-17 through 1952. She won
a competitive Grammy for best fe-
male vocal jazz performance for
“Gershwin, Live!" in 1982.

Her first husband was trumpeter
George Treadwell. She also was
married to professional football
player Clyde Atkins, Las Vegas re-
stauranteur Marshall Fisher and
trumpeter Waymon Reed.

 

Assoclatod Prue

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Harvey
Sloane said yesterday that he did
not think prescribing sleeping
pills for himself had undermined
his opposition to illegal drug
use,

The Board of Medical Licen-
sure last year advised him to stop
ordering his own refills “and I ac-
cept that criticism,” said Sloane,
a candidate for US. Senate.

John Brock. Sloane's opponent
in the May 29 Democratic pri-
mary. said Sloane’s health prob-
lems were “unfortunate and
I'm not going to get into com-
menting.”

Sloane and Brock, the state su-
perintendent of public instruc—
tion, were interviewed during and
after a taping of WAVE-W’s
Close Up program, which will
air at 1 pm. Sunday. They are
vying to oppose the likely Re-
publican nominee, incumbent
Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Sloane, a former Louisville
mayor and Jefferson County
judge-executive, is a physician
but does not have an active medi-
cal practice.

He acknowledged writing pre—
scriptions for refills of two sleep-
ing aids — Restoril and Dalmane
m that had originally been pre-
scribed by other doctors.

Licensure board general coun-
sel David Carby said it is “not a

good practice," but not illegal,
for doctors to write prescriptions
for themselves. There was no cv.
idencc that Sloane abused the
sleeping pills or prescribed them
excessively, Carby said.

Sloane suffers from arthritic
degeneration of both hips and a
degenerative disc disease in his
lower back, his onhopedist, Dr.
Raymond Shea, said this week.

”This was a legitimate medical
condition. appropriate medication
and the Board of Medical Licen-
sure recommended I not self-
prescribe,” Sloane said.

There’s a big difference be.
tween ordering a refill and initiat-
ing a therapy, Sloane said.

Brock said he would not raise
the issue.

Sloane “and the medical com—
munity will have to deal with
that and speak to that issue,”
Brock said.

The issue Brock raises most
often is Sloanc’ s allegedly left-
ward leaning

“Everyone knows Harvey’ S a
liberal," said Brock, who de—
scribed himself as leaning “to
ward the conservative side.”

Gov. WaUace Wilkinson, once
a Sloane ally, hammered at that
theme Tuesday night during a
fund-raiser for Brock in Somer-
set.

Sloane is mired in the 19605
and not ready to represent Ken-
tucky in the US. Senate. Wil-

kinson said.

“In the '605. the Democratic
Party was lost. Harvey Sloane is
still lost. He's wandering around
back there somewhere in the ‘605
and he's not the fellow that we
ought to send to Washington to
represent us in the United States
Senate," Wilkinson said.

He was referring to Sloane’s
March 14 statement that the
country should return to “the un-
finished agenda" of social servic-
es in the 19603.

“You remember the ‘60s."
Wilkinson continued. “Riots in
the streets, free love -—— conflict
all the time here and there, hip-
pies, uncertainty and unrest.
Now, I’m not saying that
Sloane's for all those things, but
that‘s what the activism of the
’605 was all about.”

Sloane countered yesterday that
the ’605 brought a burst of im-
provement in education and
health care.

Brock and Wilkinson criticized
Sloanc's financial management
as Jefferson County judge—
executive. saying it caused cur-
rent budget problems that may
force hundreds of layoffs.

Sloane said all counties were
victimized by the end of federal
revenue sharing. He said he
would support its restoration if
elected

_Peng says China’s leadership united

Associated Press

BEIJING — A confident, smil-
ing Premier Li Peng asserted yes—
terday that China's leadership is
united and strong and that the pub-
lic does not want a renewal of the
massive pro-dcmocrac y protests of
last year.

Li‘s comments to reporters were
his first since the protests were
crushed last June. Also yesterday,
the Chinese parliament wrapped up
its two-week annual session with
measures calling for freer business
practices but tougher law and order
policies.

The 3,000-scat National People's
Congress, which largely rubber-
stamps decisions by top Commu~
nist Party and government offi-
cials, also gave final approval to
the basic law under which Hong
Kong will be govcmed after Britain
returns it to China in 1997.

Legislators in Hong Kong im-
mediately said the law was not
democratic enough and asked that it
be amended.

Li was among top leaders on the
rostrum at the congress’ final meet-
ing in the Great Hall of the People.
Afterward, he told the annual post-
congress news conference that the
session was “inspiring and hearten-
mg.

The army killed hundreds and
possibly thousands of people in
June while crushing the pro-
democracy movement.

While other officials have lost
their tempers while answering for-
eign reporters’ questions about the
killings, Li merely smiled and re-
fused to answer.

“Isn’t this question out of date?"
he said when asked who gave the
army the order to shoot at protest-
ers. Li predicted that Beijing’s Tia~
nanmen Square, at the center of the
protests, will remain peaceful to-
day. That is when Chincse celebrate
the Qing Ming Festival, a day to
honor the dead.

Exiled Chinese dissidents have
urged Beijing residents to mourn
those killed in June by strolling in
the square Thursday. They urged

similar action last Sunday, but
Chinese authorities closed the
square to the public all day and held
an official rally there.

“We do not hope to see a repeat
of (last year’s) chaos, nor do the
Chinese people hope to see a repeat
of it," Li said. “We believe Tianan-
men Square will pass the day in an
orderly way."

Some Beijing work units have
barred employees from wearing
black armbands or white flowers of
mourning today. The city has lim-
ited the number of people who cart
visit crematoriums, where the ashes
of the dead are stored.

Li, asked about his chances of
being re-electcd in 1993. said he did
not consider himself “extremely ca—
pable" but said rumors in Hong
Kong that he was in political trou-
ble were bad guesses.

“The core of leadership in China
with (party) General Secretary J iang
Zemin as its nucleus is united and
strong, and I believe it commands
the support of the Chinese people."
he said.

Army
ROTC
takes first

Staff reports

Although it came away with a
trophy “not nearly as big" as it
would have liked, (‘adet 1.1. (‘01.
William L. Powell of the UK
Army ROTC was more than
pleased with the efforts of a four-
man color guard which accom-
plished a major feat last weekend.

The Pershing Rifles, the color
guard, took first place out of 16
teams in a tournament in St.
Louis.

The members of the winning
squad are: Timothy llibbard, John
Tripure, Tom Pyzik and Duane Ma-
han.

A color guard performs the hott-
ors to the national colors and cm«
placement of the national colors in-
volved in a drill and ceremony
format, Powell said.

UK took about 12 members of
its 20-pcrson unit to St. Louis.
Powell said victory was important
because after enjoying a great tradi-
tion the group had started to fade
away. Two years ago the group
practically did not exist. he said.

“One of the reasons it is so SlgA
nificant is because this used to be
the premier chapter in the state,“
Powell said. “In the last two years
we started it from nothing we're
really coming out of the darkness."

The teams UK beat were mostly
high school teams from the St.
Louis area -— teams Powell said
finished ahead of other college
squads. including Alabama A & M.

Advisers of the color guard are
Capt. Gregory Walden, a senior ad-
viser and active duty ROTC of ficer,
and Master Sgt. James Page.

Lockout aside, NL is ready for pennant *ehase

Mets have enough talent
to run away with the East

Keeneland is not the only thing
getting underway this weekend, as
the 1990 Maior League Baseball
season finally opens Monday after
noon.

The biggest question. this spring
has not been who will win the
World Series but whether there will
be baseball at all. Now that there is
going to be baseball (one week
late), will there be people in the
stands to watch it‘.’

Has Major League Baseball‘s
owners and players made Joe Fan
so mad that he won‘t go to the
games'.’ The best answer 1 can give
is a solid maybe.

It may take a couple of weeks be-
fore fans start flocking to the
games on a daily basis. but they

 

 

will come sooner or later. And if
everybody is boycotting baseball
for the first lew weeks. then save
this column (and tomorrow‘s) until
you are ready to forgive and forget.

Well, let's take a look at the Na-
tional League East.

NEW YORK METS

The boys from New York have
the talent to run away with the
Eastern Division, but they also
have also had the talent to do it the
last couple of years. So, will the
players like Darryl Strawberry and
Ron Darling be able to get over
their "me first" attittide'.’

Once again, the Mets will have

the best starting pitching in the
East with Dwight Gooden, Frank
Viola, David Cone, Sid Fernanile/
Darling and Bob Ojeda. And With
the off-season acquisitions of re-
lievers John Franco (Reds) and Ale~
jandro Pena (Dodgers), the Mets
may not be able to be stopped.

Offensively, the Mets are not as
imposing. Yes, they still have
Strawberry, Kevin McReynolds,
Howard Johnson etc., but they
must find youngsters to fill in the
gaps.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

The Cardinals WlII go as far as
their pitching staff goes. Whitey
llerzog‘s club can finish anywhere
from first to fifth. depending on
whether their pitchers are healthy.

Danny Cox, Greg Mathew s.
John Tudor and ace reliever Todd
\Vorrell are coming off serious arm
troubles. Joe Magrane (181). 2.91
ERA), Jose Del-eon (16-12) and
newcomer Bryn Smith (l()—l l, 2.84
ERA) are solid starters, but the
Cards need at least two of the three
iiiiiired starters to return to form.
Lefty Ken Dayley must fill in lt‘l
Worrell in the stopper duties tiiitil
the right handed fireballers returns
in mid-May.

Other than the pitchers, there are
little questions concerning this ball
club. The infield of Pedro Guerrero
at first base, Jose Oquendo at sec
ond. Ozzie Smith at short and Terry
Pendleton at third is as consistent
as can be found. Guerrero had his
first healthy season in ‘89 and
banged out a .311 average with 17

Davis is gone, but Padres
still the best in the West

The National League West is a
peculiar division. There is not that
much difference between the first
and last place teams.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The
Astros and Braves do not have a
chance to win it, but they do have
a chance to finish above .500.

The Padres, Reds, Dodgers and
Giants will fight it out for the
title, with no clear favorite.

Here is a team-by-team look at
the NL West:

SAN DIEGO PADRES

There is only one person who
keeps the Padres from being the
obvious choice to take the West.
His name is Mark DaVis. Davis,
last season's NL Cy Young Award
winner with 44 saves out of the
bullpen, signed a free-agent con-
tract with the Kansas City Royals.

If Davis was back. look out. But
he is not. The Padres got off to a
horrible start last season but made
a late—season charge, 29~10 in last
39 games, to finish three games
back of the Giants.

There will be two big-time new»
comers to the Padres .2- outfielder
.loe Carter (Cleveland) and reliever
Craig Lefferts (San Francisco).
Carter, who has averaged 31 home
runs and 108 RBIs over the last
four seasons, adds a huge punch to
the attack.

Carter's presence behind slugger
Jack Clark, who set a Mayor
League record with 132 walks,
should get Clark more pitches to
hit. And if that is not enough, Jack
McKeon‘s lineup also includes
Tony Gwynii, a perennial .3—1(lhit«
ter. and Benito Santiago.

Rookie pitcher Andy Benes will

gioin Bruce Hurst, Ed Whitson,

Dennis Rasmussen and Eric Show
to give the Padres a solid rotation.
lf Beiies has a big first year and
Lefferts can somewhat fill Davis‘
shoes. then San Diego will win the
Ni. \Vi,‘\'l.

CINCINNATI REDS

The Cincinnati roster did not
change much over the winter. But
the best thing that could happen to
the Reds did - Pete Rose is gone.
Lou Piniella traded in his Yankee
pinstripes to manage this highly-
talented team.

The sorry Rose era is over and
the Reds hope the injury bug is
also. First baseman Todd Benzingcr
was the only starter who did not

appear on the disabled list for some
time. Back are All-Stars Barry Lar-
kin (342 at shortstop) and Eric Da-
vis (.281, 34 HRs, 101 RBIs in
center).

If right fielder Paul O'Neill has a
big year and pitcher Danny Jackson
returns to form, then the Reds will
be in serious contention come Sep-
tember. If fireballing relievers
Randy Meyers and Rob Dibble can
co-cxtst in the same bullpen, the
Reds will not miss John Franco.

Other years, Reds fans were mad
with second place, but they‘ll take
it in 1990.

LOS ANGELES
DODGERS

Manager Tommy Lasorda has al-
ways had great pitching but little
offense, and last season was no dif-
ferent. L.A. led the league in pitch‘
ing (2.95 ERA) but had the lowest
batting average (.240).

The Dodgers are hoping free
agent outfielder Hubie Brooks
(Montreal) and Juan Samuel (trade
from Philadelphia) will boost the
offensive output. A healthy Kirk
Gibson and Eddie Murray would
make the biggest difference.

Still in LA. are top starters Orel
Hershiser (2.31 ERA) and Tim
Belcher, who led the league in shut-
outs. Rookies Ramon Martinez and
John Wetteland are ready to make
big contributions to the pitching
corps.

SAN FRANCISCO
GIANTS

Every year, nobody thinks the
Giants will have enough pitching
to win 70 games, but somehow
manager Roger Craig throws one
together and challenges for the
title.

The Giants definitely have
enough offense to win, but they do
not have the pitching. The Giants
must get some help from their mi-
nor leagues to help the staff out.
But it shouldn’t take a lot because
of the amount of runs the offense
will put up on the boards.

The Giants also signed free agent
Kevin Bass (Houston) to fill their
void in right field. And who
knows, third baseman Matt Wil-
liams is capable of knocking 30-40
balls over the fence in a full sea-

son.
ATLANTA BRAVES

Could it be? The Braves out of
the NL West cellar? No way. This
is the year. The addition of Nick
Esasky (30 HRS, 108 RBIs in Bos-
ton last season) should give the of-
fense a big-time boost. Esasky,
who loves hitting in Atlanta-
Fulton County Stadium, hit .375
