UNITEDSTATES POSTAL SERVICE, mi the sidelflne... i hy Luke Smith can't help myself, it's baseball season self, Ted Williams. Of course, it is August, the month of a Red Sox fan's discontent, and the dreaded New York Yankees are making a bid to once again buy the American League East. The rivalries and bitter words are heating up, in spite of, not because of, how much the country bakes under oppressive heat waves. In short, it's a baseball season. No matter how those fiends that own and play the modern incarnation of baseball, the game survives, thrives and even excites. Yes, any and all statistical records this year stay out of the ledgers. Yes, any team that wins the World Series (if we have one) gets an asterisk next to their title. Yes, there are now three divisions and, GASP!, a wild card for the playoffs (Wild card? What is this, football?). Yes. Darryl Strawberry is back for, what, his 10th chance? As the last instance shows, integrity is nowhere to be found where baseball is concerned. con-cerned. But I can't help myself. I try and try and I just can't keep from noticing the standings and box scores, and actually caring car-ing about what happens. It's baseball. In the summer months, I am ruled by it. It's torture right now. No, not the heat, though that is enough to make one wish winter would get here within the next couple cou-ple of days. Rather, what's killing me is this: is it OK . to be a baseball fan? On the one hand, I've spent innumerable columns ranting and raving about how the pampered players and the obnoxious owners own-ers can all go take a flying leap hand in hand. The greed and selfishness that has ruined one of God's most perfect creations, baseball, should make us all recoil in horror hor-ror every time ESPN airs another "Baseball Tonight" show. And in most cases, that's exactly what I do. But then, if you're not careful, you'll find yourself peeking glances at a game on TV or maybe one of the "Baseball Tonight" shows mentioned above. You'll find yourself exclaiming over a loud, crowded bar, "Whoa, what a play!" It's insidious. There's no helping yourself sometimes. Especially when you realize it's that rarest of occasions: the Cleveland Indians are kicking butt and taking names. My own personal favorites, the Boston Red Sox, are leading their division and have the seal of approval from the Splendid Splinter him- ID)irophot by Warren Preloiins Henri tennis rofcVssionil - IT HiriiH Chi!) Doubles Strategy: Stand back against a big server In doubles play, one service break is sometimes all it takes to win a set. The serving team has the greater advantage; the server has control (usually!) of pace and placement, and has the luxury of having his partner up at the net, looking to put the ball away. The Returner's main job is to get the ball back in play, with the highest percentage return being crosscourt back to the server. Returning a 100 mph first serve to a specific spe-cific target area is tough, so just keeping the ball in play becomes the main priority. Weak returns are usually cut off by the server's partner. The returner's partner, standing in "no man's land," is most often the easy target. A good strategy against a big server is to have the returner's partner set up back on the baseline; that is, both players back. Not only will the server see something different, dif-ferent, and hopefully upset his rhythm, but the returning team will buy themselves some reaction time and an opportunity to stay in the point. The returner has a little less pressure, knowing that his weak return is not as likely to be hit down his partner's throat! For the serving team, weak returns will no longer be so easy to put away.

Idaho and Wyoming, having competed in five races. The cross country races range between 3.5- and 14-miles in length over varied terrain. Riding a narrow ridge (the bone), then dropping off a 300-foot edge in Price is "the most demanding and fun," claimed Blanchard. Salmi's favorite was "getting to ride among the buffalo," on the , first race ever held on Antelope Island. Salmi and Blanchard ride in the 12-and-under beginner class. There are two more races left to determine deter-mine the state champions: Dinotrax, at Flaming Gorge, and the Labor Day Deer Valley Rally. Both boys have received mountain moun-tain bike training with the Young Riders with instructors Dave Staley, Dave Bertinelli, David Martinson and Lincoln DeWitt. State and regional Champions will be announced after upcoming races in Jackson Hole and Evanston, Wyo., and Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.
