fers, if he wmds up s1gnmg with another National League West team it'll be a double loss for the Padre_s - they not o~iy won't have Raines, but they'll have improved a d1vis10n rival by letting him get away. ~allard Smith decided that in today's marketplace Rames wasn't worth the $1.5 million he earned last season in Montreal. He offered $1.1 million for openers, then increased the total to $1.3 million be- fore deciding he was in a solo poker game where he was raising himself. Ballard, the lame duck president of a club sup- posedly on the selling block, may have been im- pressed with his logic. But he shouldn't be. San Dit:go fans have been encouraging the signing of Raines all along and many are upset that Ballard has stepped out of the batter's box. Some fans have decided to put their money where their mouths are. They've called the Padres to let t~em 1?1ow they'd be willing to pay 50 cents more per l!cket_if t~e club_ got R~ines. But they're probably in the mmonty durmg a time when the public cringes at player salaries and high ticket prices. Would you pay 50 cents more a night to watch Tim Raines?

I is blllish onUSD But NCAA berth said iffy with loss By T.J. Simers taff Wriltr It's like the fellow who jumps out of an airplane: He has every reason to believe his parachute will open ... but what if 1t doesn't? Today, USD's basketball team leaves for San Francisco armed with a 24-4 record, a 14-game winning streak and the conviction that it will . win the West Coast Athletic Confer- ence Tournament and advance auto- matically to the NCAA Tournament. But what if it doesn't? "If usn loses." said Paul Clark. an administ ative assistant for the Na- tional Inv1tahon Tournament, "then 1t will definitely be on our board for our 32-team tournament USD is defi- nitely in our picture if it loses." A year ago, he Toreros' inclusion in the NIT'~ plans would have been cause fo a school holiday. But this season the Toreros have a loftier goal· a berth in the 64-team NCAA Tournament To be assured of an NCAA btd, they must beat Pepper- dine tomorrow night at USF and win the championship game Saturday. "If USD loses this weekend, I think they will be coinpebrg for one of the last 10 at-large berths m he NCAA Tournament, sa·d Utah s Arnie Fer- rin, one of rune members of the NCAA • lection Committee. ··1 think USD 1s nght on the cutting edge. They are certainly a worthy team, but thev will have to be compar d with an.awful lot of ood teams from around the country.' Torcros coach Hank Egan, of course, is trying to eliminate all the "what if' discussions by preparing his team to win the WCAC Tourna- ment. "I'm not confident at all that we'll get m the NCAA (if the Toreros lose)," Egan said. "If we approach 1t any other way, we're foolish. To be sure, we've got to win this tourna- ment." WCAC commissioner Michael Gil- leran said he has spoken to repre- sentatives of the NCAA and the NIT. "I think (the Toreros') chances of making it into the NCAA Tourna- ment if they lose the WCAC Tourna- ment are 50-50," Gilleran said from his office in San Francisco. "There is no such thing as a Jock, but whatever the closest thing to a lock is, that's what USD's chances are of being in the NIT. If they go to the NIT, they may have the most Division I wins of any team in the tournament."

(Fro At least for a few more hour- . ~s for 1:JSD, it '!lust win two more games- starting Friday mght against Pepperdine - to claim the West Coast Athletic Conference and be assured an NCAA berth.

But it could be worse than that. The other three teams Raines is interested in are the Dodgers Braves and Astros. If you get out your baseball geography book, you'll find that all three are in the same division as the Padres. Although the batting champ isn't drawing any of-
