But while the pitcher feels at home in the United States, he's not completely Americanized. The latest Japanese player to make his mark in the major leagues still notices the differences in living and playing baseball in America. "I am cheered here for pitching seven innings without allowing a run," he said. "In Japan, they would be unhappy if I did not go the distance." His pitching coach, Jim Colborn, appreciates that Ishii doesn't always act like a typical major leaguer. "I still see some of the niceties from Japan, such as whenever a coach talks to a player, he acknowledges him with a nod of the head even if I just say, "Nice pitch, said the Colborn, who spent nine years in Japan as a coach and scout. "Ishii still respects the fact that there are players here with more experience than him, and there is a real hierarchy in Japan about who goes through doors first, who BYU, IB, Clearwater, Phillies, (AB) .063, (G) 4, (AB) 16, (R) 0, (H) 1, (2B) 1, (3B) 0.

So far, Ishii has pitched even better in the majors than he did in Japan. He was signed by the Dodgers to a $12.3 million contract after they paid $11.26 million to the Yakult Swallows for negotiating rights. After winning his first six decisions for Los Angeles, he finally lost for the first time in his eight U.S. starts. Even then, he allowed only one run and four hits over seven innings, but got no hitting support in Thursday's 0 loss to the New York Mets. four-yea- r, 2-- DAM IAN SAPP, Pleasant Grove, C, Stockton, A, Reds, (AB) .270, (G) 30, (AB) 111, (R)29,(H)30,(2B)2.(3B)1,(HR)13, (RBI) 33, (SB) 1.

BRIGHT IDEA: Donald Fehr has an idea he believes will help owners slow the runaway train that is the flew York Yankees' revenue. It has nothing to do with a luxury tax or revenue sharing, the two issues that have the major leagues headed toward a ninth work stoppage. Instead of eliminating teams the players' union leader believes owners should relocate them. And not just to places like Washington, Las Vegas or Portland. What about moving one of them into the New York market-perh- aps in New Jersey-a- nd taking a bite out of the revenues of the Yankees and Mets? There's a joke among Players Association lawyers and agents that the owners could achieve their goals with a contraction. "You know the joke about contraction?'' Fehr asked. "We would have no problem with any of this stuff they talk about if they contracted the right teams, the Yankees and Mets. They're the outsiders. If we got rid of them, we'd be just fine.'
