To borrow from an old commercial, they garner their success the old fashioned way they EARN it. "You know, I really didn't see anything different out there," said Brad Cattermole after the clinic at his gym in late June. i' LI A. "They (the Russians) were staying a couple of days and and it wanted to do a clinic worked out that we were able to get them to come here," Dawn Cattermole said. "And it is just fantastic. It's so good for us, because we see a lot of things to help us with form, body positions, etc." Coaches were busy videotaping and taking notes as the clinic progressed, while gymnasts had a chance to work out with the Russian coaches at times. Both gymnasts and coaches enjoyed the demonstrations by the Russian gymnasts. As an introduction to the clinic, Godisova gave a little background on the gymnasts and their workout routines. That was when it became clear that there are no shortcuts. Godisova told the local youngsters that the Russian gym-- IRS ed AP Sports Writer Last PHILADELPHIA (AP) winter, after the latest of numerous fines during the season totaling - $45,000, 145-pou- three-dimen- st AP Laserphoto Soviet gymnasts Orem's Rustam Sharipov (left) and Emzar Puntushashvili warm up during clinic at Gymnastics recently. nasts work out three times daily, first for one hour, then two workouts of three hours each. They spend most of their time at a special gymnastics facility and go home rarely. While training, they receive two and a half hours of tutoring (schooling) daily. "I do not go home much," confirmed Chusovitina, "whose usually serious face under pixie-cdark hair lights up when she ut lapses into occasional teenage giggles. "I do not have much time to see my family any more." The results of those long workouts was evident in the Russian's muscular bodies and near-perfe-ct form. Just how seriously they take their sport was illustrated when a TV reporter asked for a quick interview with Chusovitina he had to leave in a couple of minutes. After getting permission for her to leave a vault demonstration, Godisova began walking toward the reporter with Chusovitina. But she was called back by one of the coaches, who wanted to make a point and needed an interpreter. The TV reporter was left waiting while Godisova explained the coach's point to the gymnasts and coaches gathered at the vault demonstration. Chusovitina is her nation's champion in vaulting, plus throws a layout double back on the floor. Kut, whose tendency to want everything "just so" had her coach, Segecvich, smiling, throwing his hands in the air and muttering, "Women!" many a time, is the national bars champion in the USSR. She demonstrated her unique dismount (she was the first person to use the move in international competition), then told the group that she and other gymnasts are careful about their weight. "We eat mostly salads, and a little piece of meat," she said through the interpreter, holding up fingers spread slightly apart to indicate the size of the piece of meat. "We don't eat sweets very much." Godisova went on to say the gymnasts are allowed to "eat what they want" once in a while after a competition, but usually adhere to the strict diets because they "pay great attention to their weight." The gymnasts all had some of the juice that was available after the clinic, but passed on the sandwiches. "Sometimes, after competitions, they get to eat what they want," said Godisova, then added with a smile after Segecvich said something to her, "but sometimes the coaches don't let them eat what they want, even after the compe sides with Barkley on By RALPH BERNSTEIN the Philadelphia 76ers' Charles Barkley cracked, "I'll take it off my income tax." Everybody laughed. The thought prevailed that you can't deduct a fine from your income tax. Well, the laugh may be on somebody, but it isn't Barkley. k After a check, the Internal Revenue Service says athletes can deduct fines or salary lost due to a suspension. "We couldn't find anything that would deny a deduction," said Wilson Fadely of the IRS in Washington. "The indication is that it's probably deductible. It could be considered as being an ordinary-expense- . six-wee- "The closest we could find was a 1969 revenue ruling where a union imposed a fine on a member. The question was, 'Is it deductible?' and we ruled it was." Before you rush to your accountant, keep in mind that fines assessed by federal, territory, state and local authorities for breaking laws are not deductible. But if you are a professional athlete and your team and-o- r your league fine you for whatever reason, the IRS views it as a business expense. How much the athlete saves, of course, is an individual thing. It depends on adjusted income. Barkley, for example, earns in excess of $2 million a year, so the impact of a $45,000 deduction isn't immediately discernible. Spokesmen for the nation's four major sports said they weren't awr.-- e that fines and salary losses due to suspension were deductible. And they were quick to add that that was the players' personal business. Rod Thorn, an NBA vice president who assesses fines and suspensions for his league, said, "That's the first time I heard that. I really don't have an opinion." Thorn added, "I would think the decision (on the deduction) would tice shooting that release real well-know- 23-2- o, talking 10 yards," he said.

Thorn said the money collected by the NBA goes to charity. "We collect it from the player or the team and serve as a conduit. We get it and give it out." Referring to Barkley, Thorn laughed and said of the controversial star, "He beat the system again." NBA fines said the money the league collects for fines goes into a separate bank account. "We turn around and contribute it to charity. It shows as income revenue, less charitable contributions on the income tax report. It should be remembered that allowable charitable deduction for income tax purposes are limited to 2 percent of adjusted income. NFL spokesman Jim Heffernan said his league files a form."

In fact, I'm a nut about Pioneer League baseball in general. That's why I cringe a little when some of the baseball people around the state start talking about bringteam to Salt ing back a Triple-Lake City. And from the way the Trappers have been packing them into Derks Field for the past several years a lot of other fans feel the same wav. In fact, if all Triple-clubs that have played in Salt City could have drawn as well as the Trappers have, they would have felt they had struck a baseball bonanza! It isn't A A lke uncommon for the Trappers to draw between 9 and 10 thousand fans to a game at Derks Field. The Gulls and other Salt Lake Pacific Coast league teams were happy if they drew half that many fans to a game. I've become disillusioned watching pompous, arrogant and overpaid fatcats in the Major merely going through the motions on television. Major league baseball certainly is a far cry from what it was when I was growing up in Ohio and watching the Cleveland Indians and later in Missouri where was a St. Louis Cardinals fan. Watching the Trappers run their guts out on the base paths and sliding with authority and intensity into home plate reminds me of the days I used to go to games played by the Caruthersville, Missouri team of the old Class D Northeast Arkansas League. It was a great relief to escape the muggy summer heat cf the Missouri bootheel and enjoy the hitting and of Whitey Kurowski, later a long-tim- e star with the St. Louis Cardinals. By attending the Trapper games I'm able to relive many of those great baseball moments of the late 30's and early 40s. And Derks Field is a great place to watch a baseball game because all the action is almost in your lap so to speak because the stands are so close to the playing field, unlike many of today's modern ball parks that are so cavernous that many fans feel they are watching a game froin outer space. So let's keep the always hustling, never-say-di- e Trappers in Derks Field with its magnificent Wasatch Range backdrop. Let's say no to the play of the PCL. Ray Schwartz Provo I base-runni- titions.

Rustam, ranked only 10th in his country in the kept busy during the clinic demonstrating moves and coaching some of the young gymnasts. He said he hopes to be a coach later on. In halting English, he noted that the Olympic Cup competition was very important to him, saying he "didn't expect to do so well" and that he was satisfied with his first trip to America. "The results are better than I thought," he said. "And I like this place. All the people are very nice." Chusovitina, also making her first trip to the U.S., said she got interested in gymnastics when she was seven and trailed her brother to the gym. "I saw how he did things and wanted to try it," she said, adding that the parts of Utah she had seen were "very beautiful a beautiful landscape, and I like the people here." When the clinic ended, both sides mixed and mingled to take pictures and communicate as well as they could.
