Cubs strike out in
By Associated Press
CHICAGO ? The Chicago Cubs have been thrown out
in their first at-bat for lights at Wrigley Field, but hold on
baseball fans, the call in being appealed.
Attorneys for Tribune Co., owners of the National
League team, have filed notice that tliey will appeal a
judge's ruling Monday that upheld state and city laws effectively
banning night baseball in a park where the game
has been played exclusively in the sunshine since 1916.
The notice, filed with the Illinois Appellate Court, came
two hours after Cook Countv Circuit Judge Richard Currv
said those laws don't violate the team's constitutional
rights.
CURRY SUGGESTED the Cubs owners were more concerned
about making money with night baseball than they
were about the potential disruption to the 55,(MX) residents
of the North Side community.
"The game of baseball may be everybody's business, but
the business of baseball is greed," Curry said in his 64-page
ruling.

"The Cubs and the commissioner of baseball have lost
their Rrasn of reality and perspective on values; they have
apparently adopted the "Hit 'em where they live' slogan,"
he added.
The ruling, which came in response to a suit filed by the
Cubs in December, was applauded by city leaders and
residents around the park.
"THIS RULING is further evidence that neighborhoods
have the right to make critical decisions which affect their
lives..." Mayor Harold Washington said.

Hansen, whose ward includes part of the area around
Wrigley Field, the only major league ballpark without
lights.
But General Manager Dallas Green said in Mesa, Ari/.,
where the Cubs are in spring training, that he was "very,
very disappointed" with Curry's ruling.
While he made no reference to rumors that this Cubs
would move it they couldn't get lights, he said, "We consider
this verv. verv serious business."

grand slam, two three-run homers, and a double. He said he
can compare that game to the past week.
The transfer from Middle Georgia Junior College said that
he wasn't sure what his role would be when he came here, but
he knows now.
"When I came here in the fall, coach Raines had me hitting
third, and the third hitter is supposed to hit home runs and
ftrivp in runs So I know now what mv role is. 1 am getting us
cd to it and starting to enjoy hitting third."
ANOTHER GAMECOCK who is off to a great start is
Lewis Jenkins, who is hitting .333 with seven home runs and ,
22 RBI.
These tour newcomers lead a Gamecock team which is well
on pace of breaking the school record for home runs in one
season. The record stands at 83. accomplished by the 1981
team. This year's team has 61 afte[ only 24 games.
The '85 squad also stands a chance at breaking the national
record of 131 home runs in 74 games set by Florida Slate in
1982.
"1 think we can do it," Datin said. "We still have two thirds
of the season left and if we keep swinging the bats, we have an
excellent chance."
