WEST POINT — Archie Quinn’s 2008 capital murder case will face another delay af-ter a Mississippi 16th Circuit judge granted a motion by the defense to allow his attorneys to withdraw.

Judge Lee Howard allowed Chokwe Lu-mumba and Imhotep Alkebu-lan to withdraw from Quinn’s defense, citing health concerns Lumumba presented to him.

“I believe the documents support the health issues and medical regimen and issues would require that the court sustain his (Lu-mumba’s) motion to withdraw,” Howard said.

Lumumba presented medical documenta-tion — which Howard placed under seal —

and noted he needed to have a “serious medi-cal examination” in Jackson during the week of the trial.

Quinn’s trial was scheduled for Monday.Quinn was set to be tried for a count of

capital murder, aggravated assault, burglary of a dwelling and shooting into a dwelling. The case began in September 2008 when Quinn allegedly broke into 45-year-old Terry John-son’s Oktibbeha County home and reportedly shot Johnson and 35-year-old Stacey Gray. Gray died from injuries.

With Quinn’s defense team withdrawn, Oktibbeha County Circuit Clerk Glenn Ham-ilton said he wasn’t sure when the case would resume.

“It depends strictly on the council and how familiar he may be with the case,” he said. “I would expect, though, that he would need

adequate time to prepare. I’m sure the judge will have some discussions and will give him opportunities to file motions. It’s all unknown at the moment.”

Howard’s ruling came after he denied the defense’s motion to withdraw based on the re-sults of the June municipal election in Jackson, in which Lumumba won a mayoral race. Af-terward, he appointed Alkebu-lan deputy city

Starkville officials, both elected and appointed, gained new perspective and came back potentially more equipped to handle city business after attending the 2013 Mississip-pi Municipal League Summer Conference this week. each member of the Starkville board of Aldermen, Mayor parker Wiseman and various city staff and department heads attend-ed the conference in hopes of getting a better grasp on the workings of city government.

The 82nd annual event, which began Sunday, offered a variety of courses with topics ranging from basic parliamentary procedure to finance. It provided a valuable tool for the city’s aldermen, particularly with four new members, said Ward 4 Alderman Ja-son Walker.

“It was a very good experience,” Walker said. “I feel like I’ve got a good start, and I got to meet a lot of people who have been in this position before and offered a lot of good points and information.”

As a new alderman, Walker said he felt the introduction to city finance would serve him well, specifically when it came to the budgeting pro-cess. Walker said the training sought to remind elected officials that patience and planning went a long way toward avoiding the pitfalls of debt and main-taining good credit.

“The thing that really sticks out for me is the stark reminder that govern-ment is a process,” Walker said. “ev-erything you do requires painstaking detail and work. you don’t just snap your fingers and it’s done. … you don’t want to do anything to put the city in a bad spot.”

City Clerk/Finance Officer Taylor Adams attended the conference, as well, and said he’d gained valuable in-sight as it pertained to planning and development and the best ways to maximize the city’s return on taxable property, in addition to stretching the city’s dollar as far as it would go.

“There were a number of things (I learned) that I feel will allow our office to be more efficient and more innovative in the way we carry out the city’s business. … I was particularly impressed with the lecture that dealt with managing urban sprawl and building density.”

Adams said the conference provided a good opportunity

attorney.Lumumba and Alkebu-lan

claimed they could no longer practice private law due to their business as elected officials. However, Howard said that wasn’t sufficient.

“An election to public office does not obviate or do away with the responsibilities of an at-torney,” he said. “Those respon-sibilities are owed to the bar, to the client and to the court of the

state of Mississippi, in which the attorney practices. As long as he is the attorney of record, he is required to perform his duties according to his oath of office. The motions, as filed, are not sufficient to allow the attorneys to withdraw.”

After the hearing, Lumumba said Howard’s first ruling sur-prised him.

“I wasn’t really expecting it,” he said. “I thought it was a seri-ous ruling, especially given the work we had to do in the city of Jackson.”

Howard noted the case had been dragged out for more than four years. He said part of the delay came from waiting on Quinn, who shot himself with a 12-gauge shotgun when law en-forcement officers arrived at the scene of the incident, to recover from his injuries. A mental exam-ination delayed the trial further. The examination determined Quinn suffered mental retarda-tion prior to his 18th birthday, which Howard said precluded him from facing the death penal-ty. He also said 20 to 30 motions

had been filed throughout of the case, which he said was normal for cases where the death penalty was a possibility.

Howard added that Lumum-ba agreed during the court’s last term to carry out the trial on July 22, regardless of the election’s outcome.

Lumumba said he wasn’t aware of certain obligations that would arise after the election.

“One of the things that led me to file the motions is that we’re in budget time in the city of Jackson,” he said. “What that

means is we have to have budget meetings almost daily. We have a state requirement that we have a budget by a given time. That’s what I did not know at the time we set the trial.”

With Lumumba’s withdraw-al, Quinn will have to be assigned a new defense team. during the hearing, Lumumba said Quinn’s family couldn’t pay for a new at-torney. Howard had Quinn file an affidavit of indegency to be appointed a public defender.

After the hearing, Lumum-ba said he was certain the new

defense team would represent Quinn well.

“I don’t know who the judge is going to appoint, but we’re going to make sure whoever he appoints is well informed about the case and equipped with all the information and has any-thing available to him that we’ve developed, and developed quite a few things over the years,” he said. “So he’s going to be al-right.”

Starkville Daily News was un-able to contact the prosecution by press time.

to network with other officials from around the state, building useful contacts and bouncing ideas that had worked in other municipalities.

“you’ve effectively got rep-resentatives from every mu-nicipality in the state of Missis-sippi,” Adams said. “Working with each other is just as helpful as working with the instructors sometimes. It’s often what’s said in the space in between that brings forth those epipha-nies that move processes for-ward.”

And sometimes that space lies in unconventional places. Wiseman said among the cours-es he’d taken at the conference, the one he found most useful focused on the city’s social me-dia presence as a tool for city marketing and development.

“This made me more cogni-zant of the positive effects that effective use of social media can have for the city, both for our internal and external custom-ers,” Wiseman said. “We have a lot of untapped potential avail-able. … Our website is built to integrate seamlessly with our social media presence, I just don’t think we’ve scratched the surface in terms of utilizing the capacity available to us.”

Wiseman said this included obtaining information from the public for the betterment of city operations, as well. eventually,

he said it could be possible for a resident to see something in need of repair, such as a pot-hole in the street, and post it to the city’s Facebook page, which would in turn link up to the city’s website and use the loca-tion services feature of Face-book to generate a work order for the department head review and implementation.

“We’re not there yet,” Wise-man said. “but that is a really neat possibility.”

Wiseman said getting to that point would be a gradual process, and building the city’s Internet presence would require subtle changes in day-to-day operations that included post-ing to Facebook and Twitter more frequently and earlier in the day, when Internet traffic was at its height.

“These seem obvious, but there were less intuitive tips,” Wiseman said. “posting some-thing in the form of a ques-tion is more likely to generate discussion and traffic on the city’s social media channels that sticks.”

Wiseman said he planned to work with department heads to make it a standard practice for them, as well. It would come of particular use in disseminating information to the public dur-ing operational difficulties, such as a power outage or water main break.

“We’re just going to have to be more intentional about us-ing our social media,” Wiseman said.

either for fortresses to protect them from enemy assault in the game’s survival mode or for whatever they want in the game’s creative mode. So, in a sense, the game combines what Shanahan said were two of his favorite pastimes.

“I’ve always liked engineer-ing since I was a little kid and built stuff with Mega bloks,” Shanahan said. “I’ve always liked computers and video games.”

MSu’s video Game engi-neering Camp, held Monday-Friday on campus, also com-bined engineering with video games by exposing children entering grades 4-8 to the de-sign principles of both.

The camp was divided into two segments, which rotated between mornings and after-noons and between two sets of students. One segment al-lowed students to design levels in existing games before creat-

ing games of their own with All About Learning’s video Game Maker Software, led by Wania McFarland, an All About Learning teacher from Hinds County. In the other segment, MSu bagley Col-lege of engineering Outreach Coordinator eric Heiselt led students through engineering activities, teaching them about physics, the engineering design process, and more.

McFarland said the pre-set games in which campers could design levels included the point-and-click game “Fly-swat,” the maze adventure game “perilous pyramid,” and the spaceship combat game “Cosmic Attack.” each of the first three days focused on a specific game, she said, but campers were free to return to designing levels for those games throughout the week, and in the final two days, they used the software to design games of their own.

“There are tutorials you can access on the company web-

site,” McFarland said. “It tells them everything they need to know — how to properly de-sign (levels), how to view the functions, everything like that. The program is really built on making the students learn by hands-on experience more so than me going in and teaching them how to do things.”

McFarland said “perilous pyramid” became the most popular choice among the campers, and camper robert Fleming, a sixth grader from vicksburg, said that was be-cause it allowed extensive cus-tomization. He said he enjoyed editing the game’s graphics and sound, and it was also fun to play. On Friday, several campers were challenging each other to beat their “perilous pyramid” levels, often throw-ing dozens of scorpions, mum-mies or other foes at players’ avatars to keep them from get-ting the levels’ treasures.

“It’s kind of like ‘Super Ma-rio bros.’ (because) you have to be quick at some things,”

McFarland said.”It’s very peril-ous, as it says in the title. you can collect treasures and be-come, basically, a billionaire.”

Another camper, Starkville seventh-grader Austin Cosby, said he had built his own game where the player’s avatar is an archer who must shoot down enemies in pursuit. He said he had seen videos online of games being made in as little as 48 hours before, and com-bined with the camp, those videos may inspire him to try working with other game de-sign software in the future.

“I expected it to be a lot of looking at code, but it was a lot more user-friendly, where you could see it and understand it,” Cosby said.

Heiselt said campers also saw a glimpse of how compli-cated game creation could be. He said kendall blaylock, a computer forensics research as-sociate at MSu, showed camp-ers the amount of code work-ing behind the scenes of some of the most popular modern

video games.“They were shocked,”

Heiselt said. “They really had no idea. It was interesting for them to see.”

McFarland said the camp-ers’ fun with video Game Maker did not have to end Fri-day. She said the camp came with a one-month voucher for access to the software, letting them take their levels home on a jump drive and play, edit and create in video Game Maker on their home computers.

Heiselt said his portion of the camp gave campers a broad survey of engineering topics, including aerospace and auto-motive engineering. He said the video games functioned as a hook for children to build their interest in engineering, and the projects he led were designed to reinforce lessons in problem solving and sci-ence, technology, engineering and math (STeM).

“We want to make sure ev-erything is about learning, not just filling their time,” Heiselt

said. “The engineering de-sign process is what we’re re-ally trying to teach them: ask, imagine, create, test and im-prove. Within the video game engineering concept is a lot of problem solving. At this stage (of life), problem solving is difficult in the abstract. Code is still abstract for these kids ... so we’re trying to give them hands-on problem solving skills so they can translate from the more literal to the abstract of code.”

For instance, he said, one activity asked students to build vehicles with the construction toy k’nex so they would pro-tect an egg inside when they crashed into a wall at the bot-tom of a ramp. Shanahan said this activity was his favorite at the camp, as campers adjusted the incline of the ramp higher and higher to test their vehi-cles’ capabilities.

“We would see how high we could get the car to go without getting the eggs to crack,” Shanahan said.

W e A T H e rStarkville Community Theatre presents ‘voices in the night’For Starkville Daily News

Starkville Community Theatre’s summer musical revue has seen a wide variety of musical styles performed onstage at the playhouse on Main the last 14 years, and this year’s annual production will be no different.

“voices in the night” opened Thursday night at the play-house on Main and will continue its run Saturday night and July 25-27.

The show will feature musical performances in a wide va-riety of genres – pop, classic rock, r&b, broadway, Motown and more – but here’s the hitch: The majority of the songs will be performed a cappella. This means that most of the songs will feature no instrumental accompaniment.

Most of the songs being performed by the 13-member cast of “voices in the night” feature multi-part harmony. A few songs do include piano and guitar accompaniment.

The show is being directed by M.J. etua, with assis-tant and musical direction by brian Hawkins. both etua and Hawkins are also performing in the show. The two have per-formed in every SCT summer musical revue since the first one was staged in 1999.

“We’ve had the privilege of performing so many wonder-ful songs in our summer shows over the years, and one thing

we have always done well with every summer show is a couple of a cappella numbers,” said etua. “knowing this, we wanted to develop an entire show with a cast singing songs a cappella.”

In “voices of the night,” songs by such artists as billy Joel, barry Manilow, the beach boys, the beatles, the dixie Cups, the drifters, dion and the belmonts, the eagles, the Su-premes, the Temptations and katy perry are given a cappella renditions. In addition to layered harmonies, the cast members often mimic instrumental sounds as part of the background to the lead vocals, etua said.

“voices in the night” cast members include Isa Stratton beaulieu, John brocato, Audrey Gammill, Meg Henderson, brenda Mayo, Heather McGinn, Gabe posadas, Janis ross, ray Sizemore, rebecca Tabb and Mary Tabor. The pianist is Haley Harper, stage manager is bonnie Oppenheimer and lighting/sound designer is Thomas La Foe.

Tickets for “voices in the night” cost $25 per person; the ticket price includes a dessert reception following each per-formance. To reserve a ticket, contact the SCT box Office at 323-6855. If no one answers, leave a message and an SCT box office volunteer will return the call and confirm the reservation.

reservations may also be made by stopping by the play-house on Main from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and from 2 to 5 p.m. Thursdays.

Tech slump holds back uS stocks; S&p 500 edges up

neW yOrk (Ap) — A bad day for technology stocks Friday slowed a recent surge in the stock market.

Microsoft led the slump in tech, falling the most in more than four years after the company wrote off nearly $1 billion on its new tablet computer and reported declining revenue for its Windows operating system. Google dropped after its rev-enue fell below analysts’ forecasts, partly because the Internet search leader’s ad prices took an unexpected turn lower.

With tech stocks falling, the Standard & poor’s 500 index eked out a gain of 2.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to an all-time high of 1,692.09. The S&p 500 has rebounded after a decline last month and is up 5.3 percent in July.

despite the market’s broad advance, a growing list of poor tech results is raising concerns about the strength of the econ-omy and the stock market. Intel and ebay also reported weak results this week, and chipmaker Advanced Micro reported a second-quarter loss because of a worldwide slump in pC de-mand.

Technology “has definitely been a sector that people have been expecting big things from and it has not delivered,” said randy Frederick, Managing director of Active Trading & de-rivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial research.

The dow Jones industrial average closed down 4.80 points, or 0.03 percent, to 15,543.74. If not for the declines in Micro-soft, Hewlett-packard and IbM, the index would have gained about 70 points.

even General electric’s brighter outlook for the u.S. econ-omy on Friday was overshadowed by the tech slump.

The technology-heavy nasdaq composite fell 23.66 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,587.61. The index was the only major market benchmark to end the week lower, falling 0.4 percent.

Technology stocks in the S&p 500 have lagged the S&p 500 this year, gaining only 8.5 percent, versus 18.6 percent for the broader index. The industry is one of four of the 10 sec-tors in the S&p 500 that are expected to see earnings growth contract in the second quarter.

Microsoft dropped $4.04, or 11.4 percent, to $31.40 after reporting its earnings late Thursday. That’s the biggest one-day decline since the stock slumped 11.7 percent in January 2009. Google fell $14.08, or 1.5 percent, $896.60. It also posted earnings late Thursday.

The stock market has risen sharply in July after the Federal reserve reassured investors it wouldn’t pull back on its stimu-lus before the economy is strong enough. The u.S. central bank is currently buying $85 billion in bonds every month to keep long-term interest rates low and to encourage borrowing and hiring.

In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Trea-sury note fell to 2.48 percent from 2.53 percent late Thursday. The yield has fallen from 2.74 percent on July 5, when the government reported strong hiring.

The pullback in bond yields should help stocks sustain their rally because it makes them look more attractive com-pared to bonds, said paul Zemsky, head of multi-asset strate-gies for InG u.S. Investment Management. Lower interest rates should also support the housing market by holding down mortgage rates.

“A lot of the fears that had come from these higher rates are abating,” Zemsky said. “rates have come back down and that’s good.”

The price of crude oil edged up a penny to $108.05 a bar-rel. The price of gold climbed $8.70 to $1,292.90 an ounce.

Among other stocks making big moves:u General electric rose $1.09, or 4.6 percent, to $24.72

after posting a slight gain in net income in the second quarter. Ge also said its u.S. operations are picking up steam. The results were better than analysts had forecast.

u Chipotle Mexican Grill climbed $32.22, or 8.6 percent, to $408.90 after the Mexican fast-food chain reported results that beat analysts’ expectations.

u Whirlpool surged $9.54, or 8 percent, $128.91 after its second-quarter net income soared 75 percent as demand im-proved for its appliances. Whirlpool also benefited from some tax credits.

MSU’s Russellon Walter CampAward watch listBy BEN WAITsports@starkvilledailynews.com

The preseason hype for Tyler russell keeps stacking up.The Mississippi State senior quarterback was recognized again on Friday. This

time by the Walter Camp Foundation.russell was selected to the Walter Camp Award watch list, given annually to

the nation’s most outstanding college football player.“My main goal is to be a leader on and off the field,” russell said this week at

Southeastern Conference Media days in Hoover, Ala. “right now, I’ve got to get the guys to have the same mindset that I have – that sense of urgency. If I think about the things I had done, if I knew what I know now when I first started, my life would be a whole lot easier. I try to explain to those guys, if you learn it now, everything will be a whole lot smoother for you.”

The Walter Camp Award is the fourth oldest individual college football honor in the country.

russell has also made the Maxwell Award, given to the college football player of the year, and the davey O’brien, presented to the best quarterback in the country.

The Meridian native is the first bulldog to ever make consecutive appearances on the Maxwell Award watch list.

He set 11 single-season school records for MSu last year, including completed passes (231), yards (2,897) and touchdowns (24).

The bulldogs are looking for past experiences to help russell as he enters the 2013 season, especially with the season-opener against Oklahoma State looming on August 31.

“Having a fifth-year senior quarterback like Tyler russell, (he) knows what is expected in big games, (and) what is expected as a leader,” MSu football coach dan Mullen said this week at SeC Media days.

Morrow gets recordsat ridgeland meetBy JASON EDWARDSsports@starkvilledailynews.com

Joe Morrow has been competing in sanc-

tioned powerlifting for nine years. On Satur-day, July 13, he put it all on the line as he competed in the uSA powerlifting region vI powerlifting Championships which took place in ridgeland.

during the time he has been competing, Morrow has gone back and forth between the 132- and 148-pound weight classes. Saturday, he competed at a bodyweight of 136 pounds and when he left ridgeland, he took four uS-ApL-Mississippi 148 raw records with him.

The four records were not the only thing joining Morrow on his journey back to Amory. After concluding the day with 1,312 total lift-ed pounds, which included 441-pound squat, 292-pound bench press and 579-pound dead-lift, Morrow was selected the best raw Lifter and finished first in the 148 Men’s Open raw division.

For those who are not familiar with power-lifting, Morrow explains that raw lifting con-sists of wrist wraps, knee wraps and a belt. The use of a belt depends on each federation, but

other than that, no supportive shirts or suits are allowed.

This is only the fourth year for Morrow to compete in raw lifting. prior to that, he lift-ed in single-ply lifting gear. Since making the move to lifting raw, he has totaled 10 times his bodyweight on six occasions and consistently manages to lift four times his bodyweight.

As he competes, Morrow maintains his fo-cus not just on success, but also on providing inspiration and motivation to those who are looking to make the switch to a more healthy lifestyle while also serving as a positive role model for young people.

That desire to be a positive role model is one reason Morrow chose the uSApL, which prides itself on being one of the premiere drug-free federations, for his competition.

due to his success in the powerlifting are-na, Morrow met Tim and Lydia Scott who own and operate big deal Supplements in Starkville. After witnessing Morrow’s strength, the couple made the decision to begin sponsor-ing him throughout his various competitions.

“I met Tim and Lydia right before the end Joe Morrow pulls a state record 579-pound deadliest, which was 4.26 times his bodyweight.

By DOUG FERGUSONAssociated Press

GuLLAne, Scotland — Miguel Angel Jimenez looked like the only guy who was having fun.

On a punishing day at Muirfield — the course with a reputation as the fairest links of them all — leave it to a 49-year-old Spaniard who enjoys the simple pleasures in life to make such a demanding test at the british Open seem like just another round of golf.

There was calamity all around him Friday.Zach Johnson lost the lead with a three-putt from 10 feet.

brandt Snedeker, regarded as one of the best putters in golf, took four putts from 15 feet. Tiger Woods played well enough to be only one shot behind and rarely smiled.

Jimenez, with his frizzy red hair bunched into a ponytail, made his way around Muirfield with only two bogeys for an even-par 71 that gave him a one-shot lead over Woods, Lee Westwood, Hen-

It’s important to Starkville High School bowling coach Jim philamlee to maintain a strong program.

The yellowjackets have competed at the State bowling championship tournament the last two years, so there is momentum in the sport moving forward.

In order to seek out the best bowlers for SHS, philamlee has announced that tryouts will be taking place on August 15 and August 22 at bulldog Lanes. The tryouts will begin at 4 p.m. on those two Thursdays.

Last year, there were 50 bowlers that came and tried out for the Jackets.

philamlee was happy with the response, but stresses that there’s only room for 24 bowlers on the team with eight varsity boys, eight varsity girls and eight junior varsity participants.

Americans win two of threein World Series pool playFrom Staff Reports

World Series action is underway in Southaven and Starkville

Americans came out of the gate swinging.In their very first appearance of dizzy dean World Series

pool play the 8-year-old All-Stars picked up a victory as they shut out Chattanooga 16-0.

“you always want to go out and win the first one in any tour-nament you go to,” Starkville coach Charlie Williamson said. “We got them in the draw and it ended up to be a good draw for us to start out with.”

Starkville’s second game was quite a bit different than the first. The momentum from day one seemed to have died off as Starkville dropped an 18-3 contest to Scottsboro, Ala.

“We just didn’t show up,” Williamson said. “We weren’t in it. I don’t know what was going on. We had a tough game is all I can say about it.”

Moving ahead to game three, Williamson said it was like

“two different teams” took the field in the morning and the afternoon.

rebounding from their earlier loss, Starkville defeated the northport patriots of Ala., in what Williamson can only de-scribe as a “barn burner.”

As the game ended regulation, the two teams stood tied at 23. Starkville posted seven in the top of the seventh before shut-ting out northport in the bottom of the inning to win 30-23.

“We came out hitting the ball lights out,” Williamson said. “We have never scored 30 runs before. It was fun.”

Game three marked the end pool play as the participating teams will enter bracket competition today. Starkville plays the Sandy plains Cougars at 1 p.m.

“It is a must win (today),” Williamson said. “We have to win that game to have any hopes of making it deep into the tourna-ment, but I feel we have a good chance. We will just come out in the morning and do the best we can to represent Starkville and get the win.”

Mizuno Houston scored the winning run in the final inning on a balk call by the umpire.

“It was a great game and they had a really good pitcher on the mound,” Long-horns coach keith Lawrence said. “It was a hard way to lose a game, but the boys are playing so hard.”

nyjal Johnson and keyshawn Law-rence had one hit each, the only hits for the Longhorns in the game. both runs for Mizuno Houston were unearned.

even with the heart-breaking loss,

Coach Lawrence is proud to be coaching the 11 players to make up the Longhorns.

“After the game, the Mizuno coach came up saying we’re not a AA and no AA team in Houston plays like us,” Lawrence said.

The Longhorns face Mississippi Force today in Gulf Shores, Ala. The loser of the 9 a.m. encounter will be eliminated from the World Series.

bOSTOn — Jacoby ellsbury and Johnny Gomes homered, and Felix doubront outpitched Andy pettitte on Friday night to lead the boston red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the depleted new york yankees in the opener of their three-game series.

ellsbury homered on pettitte’s second pitch of the game, and Gomes made it 3-0 in the second.

doubront (7-3) held a yankees lineup without derek Jeter and a handful of other regulars hitless until Lyle Overbay dou-bled to lead off the fifth inning.

In all, the red Sox left-hander gave up two runs — one earned — and three hits and three walks while striking out five in 6 1-3 innings. It was the 12th consecutive start in which doubront has allowed three or fewer earned runs.

koji uehara pitched the ninth for his ninth save.pettitte (7-7) gave up four runs on six hits and a walk, striking

out four in 6 1-3 innings.The yankees made their first visit to Fenway park this season

for the first game after the break, and robinson Cano played three days after being hit on the knee by a pitch in the All-Star game. but the lineup barely resembled the team new yorkers thought would be wearing pinstripes at this point in the season.

Jeter was placed on the disabled list before the game — he’s spent all but one game there this season — and the yankees are also missing third baseman Alex rodriguez, first baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist surgery), outfielder Curtis Granderson (broken pinkie) and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand).

The lineup was further depleted when left fielder Zoilo Al-monte came out of the game in the fifth inning with a left ankle sprain; X-rays were negative.

And center fielder brett Gardner took himself out when, after being called out on a 3-2 pitch to end the top of the fifth, he slammed his helmet on the ground and was ejected by home plate umpire Mike everitt.

That left the yankees ill-equipped to come back after boston took a 3-0 lead on the homers.

new york made it 3-1 when Gardner walked, stole second and scored when he stole third and catcher Jarrod Saltalamac-chia’s throw went into left field. Chris Stewart doubled home Overbay in the fifth to cut the deficit to one run.

roberts’ hit liftsrays to 8-5 winBy IAN HARRISONAssociated Press

TOrOnTO — ryan roberts singled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and the Tampa bay rays beat the Toronto blue Jays 8-5 on Friday night.

evan Longoria, Wil Myers, kelly Johnson and ben Zobrist all went deep off Toronto starter esmil rogers, but it was former blue Jay roberts whose two-out single off Steve delabar was the key in lifting the rays to their 15th win in 17 games.

Zobrist and Myers both had three hits, each coming within a triple of the cycle.

Jose bautista hit a two-run homer for the blue Jays, who got solo shots from edwin encarnacion, brett Lawrie and J.p. Arencibia, but couldn’t protect a 4-1 lead, losing for the ninth time in 12 games.

david price (4-5) pitched seven innings for the win, improving to 7-0 in eight career starts at rogers Centre. price is 13-2 with a 2.45 erA in 17 career starts against Toronto.

Johnson singled off brett Cecil (3-1) to begin the eighth, bringing delabar on in relief. pinch hitter Sean rodriguez advanced Johnson with a sacrifice bunt and Jose Molina flied out before roberts hit an rbI single. roberts took second on the throw and went to third on a wild pitch before scoring on desmond Jennings’ double.

roberts was recalled from Triple-A durham earlier Friday to take the place of James Loney, who’s on the paternity list.

Joel peralta worked the eighth and Jake McGee surrendered Law-rie’s sixth homer in the ninth.

price, who came in having pitched back-to-back complete games in his last two starts before the All-Star break, allowed four runs and seven hits. He walked one and struck out five.

The left-hander struggled early, allowing three homers in the first three innings, but gave up just one single the rest of the way.

Two pitches after bautista flied out to the warning track in the first, encarnacion gave Toronto an early lead with a second-deck homer, his 26th.

Zobrist tied it with a one-out shot in the third, his seventh, but the blue Jays reclaimed the lead by batting around in the bottom half.

Arencibia led off with a home run, his 17th, Jose reyes hit a one-out single and bautista followed with his 21st homer.

ethier, dodgers top nationals 3-2By JOSEPH WHITEAssociated Press

WASHInGTOn — Andre ethier homered off rafael Soriano to lead off the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles dodgers resumed play after the All-Star break Friday night with a 3-2 win over the Washington nationals.

ethier pulled a 1-2 slider just over the wall in right-center, his sixth homer of the year and the second ninth-inning homer allowed by Soriano (1-2) in three appearances.

Hanley ramirez also homered for the dodgers, who picked up where they left off before the break, winning for the seventh time in nine games and moving back above .500. They were 12 games below the break-even mark on June 21.

ronald belisario (4-5) faced only one batter to get the win, his 14th consecutive appearance without a run allowed. kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 10th save.

The nationals, hoping to make up ground in the nL east as they began a season-long, 11-game homestand, instead lost for the sixth time in eight games to fall back to .500.

The nationals also resumed their habit of failing to support Ste-phen Strasburg, whose erA dropped to 2.97 to go with his 5-7 record. He allowed two runs over seven innings in near-oppressive humidity, retiring the last 11 batters he faced.

The two-run shot Strasburg gave up to ramirez in the third in-ning was a nice piece of hitting, with the dodgers shortstop going the opposite way with a 95 mph fastball over the outside edge of the plate.

ricky nolasco, in his third start with the dodgers, gave up two runs over 5 1-3 innings — escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam along the way — against the same club that beat him 2-0 on opening day when he was with the Miami Marlins.

The nationals scored in the second inning when bryce Harper got a favorable call after he tagged up from second base on a fly ball to right. yasiel puig made a stunning on-the-fly throw, and third base-man Juan uribe tagged the diving Harper on the left leg, but umpire eric Cooper signaled safe. Harper then scored on a wild pitch.

The nationals loaded the bases with two hits and a walk in the fourth, but Ian desmond hit a soft grounder for a forceout at home.

phillips drives in 3, reds beat piratesFrom Wire Reports

CInCInnATI (Ap) — brandon phil-lips drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double on Friday night, and Mike Leake got the better of left-hander Francisco Liriano for the third time this season, leading the Cincin-nati reds to a 5-3 victory over the pittsburgh pirates that tightened the nL Central.

The third-place reds moved to within three games of second-place pittsburgh. The pirates lead their season series 6-5.

The reds sent nine batters to the plate for four runs in the fifth off Liriano (9-4), who had his shortest outing of the season. Chris Heisey’s infield single drove in the first run, and phillips’ double off Justin Wilson made it 5-0.

Heisey also had a solo homer off Liriano.Leake (9-4) gave up solo homers to Star-

ling Marte, Andrew McCutchen and rus-sell Martin in the sixth inning. Manny parra

fanned pedro Alvarez with runners on second and third to end the seventh.

Aroldis Chapman struck out two in the ninth while getting his 22nd save in 25 chanc-es.

neW yOrk — Chase utley, domonic brown and the philadelphia phillies came fly-ing out of the All-Star break, scoring 11 runs in the first three innings on the way to a rout of the new york Mets.

Michael young hit a three-run homer, ut-ley had a two-run drive and brown a solo shot as the phillies (49-48) won for the ninth time in 12 games to move over .500 for only the second time this season. philadelphia roughed up familiar foil Jeremy Hefner in its seventh consecutive victory at Citi Field dating to last season, including a three-game sweep in April.

49ers acquire cornerbackWright from buccaneersFrom Wire Reports

SAnTA CLArA, Calif. (Ap) — The San Francisco 49ers have acquired cornerback eric Wright in a trade with Tampa bay that sends a conditional selection in the 2014 draft to the buccaneers.

The teams announced the deal Friday, one week after Wright was arrested in Los Angeles on an unspecified misdemeanor charge. He was released after posting bond.

Last season, Wright was suspended for four games by the nFL for violating the performance-enhancing drug policy in his first — and only — season with the bucs. He signed a five-year, $35.3 million contract with Tampa bay after a strong season in detroit, and in 10 games last year, Wright finished with 37 tack-les and one interception.

In 2011 with the Lions, Wright started 16 games and had four interceptions.

He will join a crowded secondary and crop of cornerbacks, in-cluding Carlos rogers, Tarell brown, Chris Culliver and nnamdi Asomugha.

“We are pleased to add eric to our team,” said 49ers general manager Trent baalke. “As an organization, we have done our due diligence and anticipate eric working hard to contribute to the 49ers.”

The 49ers announced earlier Friday that they had waived cor-nerback Lowell rose, who was signed as an undrafted free agent May 7.

Mingo unsigned as brownsreach deals with two others

CLeveLAnd — First-round draft pick barkevious Mingo remains the only unsigned browns rookie after the club finalized four-year contracts with two others Friday.

On the day rookies reported for training camp, the browns reached deals with cornerback Leon McFadden and troubled de-fensive lineman Armonty bryant.

McFadden, a third-round pick from San diego State, is expect-ed to compete for the starting job opposite mainstay Joe Haden. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound McFadden was selected 68th overall by the browns, who need a starter after they decided not to re-sign veteran Sheldon brown after last season. McFadden spent spring practices with the second-team defense as buster Skrine and Chris Owens split time with the starters.

bryant was arrested on drunken-driving charges shortly after he was drafted by Cleveland in April out of east Central (Okla.) university.

“We graduated two senior girls, and no boys, so we’re ex-pecting them to be back, but everyone has to try out if they are going to bowl and then we’ll pick the top 24 with eight varsity boys and eight varsity girls and eight junior varsity,” philamlee said.

The members that make up the junior varsity roster will be

important because they can be counted on heavily in the post-season.

“We end up using the junior varsity as a feeder to the varsi-ty,” philamlee said. “Last year, we had one or two junior var-sity (bowlers) that played at the state for the championship.”

The tryouts are open to Armstrong Middle School and Starkville High School bowl-ers.

rik Stenson and dustin Johnson going into the weekend.

What’s a 49-year-old doing with the 36-hole lead at the british Open?

“Why? I have not the right to do it? Only the young people can do it?” Jimenez said. “Why? I’m fine. We keep playing golf and still get myself on the golf course, and that’s the secret. en-joy yourself what you do in life. That’s what I’m doing.”

For so many others, it was tough to enjoy anything about a course that brought the easterly wind for the first time all week, and greens that hit warp speed even after tournament officials hand-watered the putting sur-faces overnight.

Woods went 12 holes with-out a birdie, saving his round with a collection of tough pars, and he finished with a 6-iron from 212 yards to 15 feet for a birdie and a 71. Westwood matched the best round of the day with a 68, while Stenson had a 70. both of them had a double bogey on their cards. dustin Johnson got himself into such a predicament on the 15th that his only option from a bunker was to aim sideways into the rough. He shot 72.

“every hole is playing hard,” Johnson said. “you don’t get any breaks. you’ve really got to

grind it out. It’s tough off the tee. It’s tough on your approach shot and it’s tough putting.”

phil Mickelson was in range of the lead until a four-putt on the 16th hole, his second dou-ble bogey of the day. That was one hole after Mickelson made a par putt that would have gone 15 feet by if he had missed.

Zach Johnson couldn’t think of too many poor shots he hit in the blazing sunshine, except maybe for a pitching wedge he punched from 158 yards that bounded over the back of the 15th green. He chipped to 10 feet and took three putts from there for a double bogey, and he dropped one more shot on the final hole for a 75.

“I enjoy difficult tests,” said Johnson, who won the 2007 Masters in the toughest condi-tions at Augusta in more than 50 years. “I think everyone does. ‘Fun’ ... you’ve got to use that term loosely. What’s fun about it is that we don’t see this but once a year.”

The reference was to links golf, though such brown, brittle conditions have not been seen at the Open since Hoylake in 2006, and the greens there weren’t nearly that quick. Mick-elson said the Muirfield greens in these conditions were faster than Augusta.

Jimenez, who was at 3-under 139, has his own definition.

“The fun does not mean you

have the biggest smile and start laughing all day,” he said. “Fun is when you enjoy what you’re doing. I play golf and I enjoy it. And it’s fun to me, no? Some-times you can see me serious be-cause of a situation, but having fun doesn’t mean that you are falling on the ground and start laughing.”

What about leading the brit-ish Open, with a chance at 49 to be the oldest major champion in golf history?

“Then you put the smile on the face,” he said.

If he cared to look behind him, Jimenez might have reason to be concerned.

The biggest name was Woods, already a four-time winner this year who has been steering his way around Muir-field with mainly irons that go forever on the rock-hard fair-ways. More ominous is that he is making so many important putts, even if they are for par.

“There will be no surprise to me if he’s picking up the clar-et jug on Sunday night,” said Graeme Mcdowell, who played with Woods and was seven shots behind. “but I’m not writing off the rest of the field. There’s quality players here in this field, and I’m certainly not writing myself off. but if he continues to play the way he’s playing, he’s going to be tough to beat.”

Sanderson Farms seescrowded leaderboardFrom Wire Reports

MAdISOn (Ap) — Six players were tied atop a crowded leaderboard midway through the second round of the Sanderson Farms Championship.

vaughn Taylor, Fabian Gomez, paul Stankowski, Troy Matteson and kyle reifers were at 10 under in the clubhouse. First-round leader daniel Summerhays also was 10 under, but only completed eight holes in the round Friday.

The six had plenty of company behind them, with eight players within two strokes.

The 35-year-old Gomez shot an 8 under 64 in his second round, playing 29 total holes in the stifling Mississippi heat Friday after his first round was delayed Thursday. The Argentine played especially well down the stretch, making birdie on 17 and then holing a 50-foot eagle putt on 18.

Taylor and Matteson both shot 67 in the second round, Stankowski finished with a 68 and reifers had a 69.

play was delayed for the second straight day at Annandale Golf Club because of lightning close to the course. The afternoon session was unable to finish after a delay that lasted more than two hours.

The 43-year-old Stankowski is the most un-likely name among the leaders. The veteran is playing in his first pGA Tour event of the sea-son and hasn’t won since 1997.

He has played some on the Web.com Tour this season, but hasn’t been particularly com-petitive. His last round before coming to An-nandale was an 82.

“I watch a lot of golf (on television) and everybody that plays well makes putts,” Stankowski said, grinning. “I really haven’t made any putts for 10 years. It’s kind of nice to make putts — join the party.”

Later he added: “I’ve enjoyed it. It’s all a process. I’m 43. I’m still learning and it’s fun. I hope I can continue to roll it well and hit some quality shots and see what happens.”

The wet conditions and lack of wind have led to friendly course conditions for low scores. The only major obstacle is the heat — tempera-tures climbed into the low 90s during the after-noon and there was oppressive humidity.

“The greens are receptive,” Taylor said. “They are in really good shape. If you get the putter going you can shoot some good scores.”

Summerhays continues to play well after a good showing at the John deere Classic last week, where he tied for fourth after leading go-ing into the final round. The 29-year-old bird-ied nos. 5 and 7 before darkness enveloped Annandale.

Cameron beckman joined Gomez as the only other player to shoot a 64, and it moved him to 8 under for the tournament. The 43-year-old beckman is a former champion at Annandale, winning the tournament in 2001 when it was named the Southern Farm bureau Classic.
