He was released about two hours later on $15,000 bail, Oakland Police spokeswoman Danielle Ash-for- d said. Commissioner Bud Selig said he was "very concerned about the incident." "Obviously I can never condone under any circumstances players engaging in any kind of obstruction or violence," Selig said at Miller Park, where he was watching Barry Bonds' chase for 700 homers. "Here, we are having our greatest season in a long time and I hate for this to happen." Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of baseball operations, and Kevin Hallinan, senior vice president of security, arrived in Oakland before Tuesday's game. Alderson said he hopes a disciplinary decision will be reached by the end of the week. He didn't speculate the length of a suspension for Francisco or others. "Any time an object is thrown, there are very serious consequences," said Alderson, who planned to be in town for several days to investigate.

Manager Joe Torre said his plan was to use Giambi strictly as a designated hitter. With the Clippers' elimination from the International League playoffs, all of the Yankees' farm clubs have completed their seasons, so the major league team was the only place to get Giambi game time. Giambi was activated with an eye toward the Yankees' upcoming weekend series against Boston, which began play Tuesday night trailing New York by three games in the AL East. In two games against the Royals, Giambi could get seven or eight "I tell you, he was excited about it," Torre said.

Giambi said his strength is returning. "It's getting back there. I'm working out and I'm staying on top of it. Playing is the only way well be able to gauge how far away I am." Torre said Rick Down, a Yankees hitting instructor, said Giambi is "still in the process of getting comfortable." "But he thofeght his swings were good. He thought he was on the fastball pretty good. So we'll see," Torre said. The Yankees will be studying Giambi's swing the next few days, not his results. s. . LOCAL COLLEGES s.

Gwilliam wouldn't comment on what Bueno might have yelled at the Rangers' players before the fracas, saying he would let the man speak for himself at a news conference on Wednesday.

Officials: Take precautions with CWD y wife thinks I'm a hypochondriac. Bring anv medical issue to the table and I ve suddenly got it. The other day I brought up the subject of hunting and my concerns over Chronic Wasting Disease. Several minutes later you guessed it I was confident that my recent feelings of listlessness were surely the beginning stages of CWD. Concerned over my latest infection, I confronted my wife. She wanted to know just how I contracted such a disease, given the fact that neither of us had even seen a deer or elk to shoot at during this year's archery hunts, let alone touched'or such an animal Most of us at least those individuals in the hunting world have heard of CWD. According to wildlife biologists, CWD is a rare transmissible disease that can affect the nervous system of both deer and elk. Studies show it is neither virus nor bacteria, but instead, infectious proteins called prions. These prion-cause-d diseasesare are also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies field-dress- (TSE). Biologists believe that infected animals develop brain lesions and shortly after become emaciated, appear listless, begin to salivate and eventually die. With this year's archery hunts coming to a close and our 2004jifle elk and deer hunts still to come, the question still remains: Should hunters be concerned over Chronic Wasting . Disease? What precautions should a hunter take? Although there is still very little evidence that CDW affects humans, hunters should take care not to hawest animals that appear sick.

Officials are also asking as a precautionary measure that hunters take extra care in handling the carcass of elk and deer. Again, it is suggested that you do not handle or consume wild game that appears sick. As a safety measure while handling deer and elk, a hunter should wear rubber or latex g gloves when big game. Officials suggest that while a hunter should bone out the meat and avoid consuming the brain, eyes, spleen, spinal cord and any lymph nodes. Keep to a minimum the handling of any soft tissues and fluids. Also properly wash hands with soap and water upon the completion of handling the carcass. Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources first began testing for CWD in 1998 after reports of the disease turned up in several of Utah's neighboring , states. Of the 700 samples taken of both deer and elk during 1998-9- 9 season, none came back positive.
