Japans Hozumi Hasegawa, whose distinguished 17-year career included winning world titles in three weight divisions -- bantamweight, junior featherweight and featherweight -- has announced his retirement from boxing.Hasegawa, a 35-year-old southpaw, forced Mexicos Hugo Ruiz to retire on his stool after the ninth round in Osaka, Japan, on Sept. 16 to win a junior featherweight world title. He will walk away from the sport off that victory.I have nothing to prove more, and it becomes truly hard to have myself motivated to go on after my third coronation, Hasegawa said in a statement Friday.Hasegawa (36-5, 16 KOs), who turned pro in 1999, got his first world title shot in 2005 and won a unanimous decision to dethrone bantamweight titleholder Veeraphol Sahaprom.He held the title for nearly five years and made 10 successful defenses, including beating Sahaprom by ninth-round knockout in a 2006 rematch and victories over other quality contenders: Genaro Garcia, Simpiwe Vetyeka and Vusi Malinga.After Mexicos Fernando Montiel traveled to Tokyo and knocked him out in the fourth round to take the belt in 2010, Hasegawa jumped up two weight classes and won a unanimous decision against Mexicos Juan Carlos Burgos to win a vacant featherweight world title.For his first defense, Hasegawa faced Mexicos Jhonny Gonzalez, who knocked him down and stopped him in the fourth round.Hasegawa won his next four bouts and got the opportunity to challenge then-junior featherweight titlist Kiko Martinez, so he dropped down in weight but was stopped in the seventh round in April 2014. Hasegawa rebounded to win his next three fights, including the mild upset over Ruiz to claim his final world title. Wild Jerseys For Sale .

Charlie Coyle Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. Nino Niederreiter Jersey . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jose Abreu is reaching some significant milestones with others in reach, but they are not transitioning into a winning record for the Chicago White Sox.Abreu homered in an 8-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Monday, becoming the first player in White Sox history to hit at least 25 home runs in his first three major league seasons.Abreu needs five home runs and four RBI to join Albert Pujols as the only players in major league history with 30 home runs and 100 RBI in their first three seasons. The homer total may be difficult to reach with only a dozen games left on the schedule.I think thats something I can accomplish, but, I mean, of course its tough because of the short amount of games that we have, but, of course, its in the picture, Abreu said through a translator. Im just glad that I have this opportunity, because after what I passed through the first half, the second half has been very good.Abreu has turned it up several notches, reaching base in 42 of his past 45 games, hitting .370 with a .417 on-base percentage and a .641 slugging percentage. He has 14 home with 40 RBI in that span, which began August 2.The Royals went 14-5 against the White Sox this year.Its tough playing against them because we have to play perfect, Abreu said. They have all the ingredients to be a successful team, and I think that everybody has seen that. They won the World Series last year and they are a very tough team. I think that its desire. Their desire to win, their hunger to win games and to be good. And for me that is the main point for them.Yordano Ventura (11-11) gave up nine hits, struck out five and walked one, picking up his first complete-game victory.Ventura had allowed 10 runs, 17 hits and six walks in 11 1/3 innings in losing his previous two starts. He threw only 16 pitches in a 10-batter span to end the fifth and into the seventh.Kendrys Morales homered off Carlos Rodon (7-10) in a four-run fifth. Morales homerred in back-to-back games, bringing his total to 29.dddddddddddd The last Royal to hit 30 home runs in a season was Jermaine Dye, with 33 in 2000.Theyre a good ballclub, Rodon said. Guys that have been in the game for a while and just understand that, make me throw pitches and get deep in the count, and they did a really good job of that. They swing the bat well, but our guys swung the bat well, too. Some hard balls hit and some home runs, and thats baseball.Paulo Orlando and Alcides Escobar homered in the second for the Royals. Eric Hosmer drove in two runs with a pair of singles, giving him 97 RBI.Billy Burns had three hits, was hit by a pitch, stole a base and scored two runs.Carlos Sanchez also homered for the White Sox.It wasnt our day, Sanchez said. When a pitcher has his day its tough for us to hit.Todd Frazier added an RBI single and had two hits off Ventura.Hes throwing 97, 98 (mile per hour), Frazier said late in the game. Thats tough to pick up, tough to lay off, too, as well, because it looks like a strike and comes off. He had good command, basically.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: INF Tyler Saladino (sore left calf) was out of the lineup for the third consecutive game. We could play him, but I think an extra day would be best for him, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. ... DH Justin Morneau (neck discomfort) returned to the lineup after missing the previous six games and went 2 for 4 with a double and scored a run.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP James Shields, who is 0-5 with a 9.37 ERA in his past nine starts, will start Tuesday at Philadelphia. RHP Jake Thompson will start for the Phillies.Royals: RHP Edinson Volquez, who gave up nine runs on seven hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings in a Thursday loss to Oakland, will start the series opener at Cleveland. The Indians will counter with RHP Josh Tomlin.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern basketball teams arent known for their swagger, but Vic Law and the Wildcats are making noises that times are about to change.Law triggered a decisive 12-0 run early in the game on the way to a team-high 22 points and Northwestern rolled past Bryant 86-66 on Friday.Scottie Lindsey contributed 20 points for the Wildcats, while Gavin Skelly pitched in 15 more off the bench. Dererk Pardon had a game-high 10 rebounds and two blocked shots.Were really good, Law said. Weve showed that well come out and compete no matter who its against. This isnt the old Northwestern.How good the Wildcats really are wont be known for a while, of course, but coach Chris Collins already was certain that this was the most talented of his four teams to date.As a coach, this game had a lot of trappings, Collins said. We had three games on the road and one day to prepare for a game, and that day was Thanksgiving. We had the potential for a lot of distractions, but I was so proud of the way we started the game.Northwestern (4-2) took a 38-23 lead into halftime, but Bryant top gun Nisre Zouzoua went off for 14 points to close the gap to 42-39 five minutes into the second half. After a timeout, the Wildcats were able to regroup for their second victory in the last four starts.Zouzoua finished with a game-high 24 points and Adam Grant added 19 the Bulldogs, who shot only 39 percent in the field. Zouzoua came off career-high 30-point outburst in a 64-57 victory over Louisiana Monroe three nights earlier.After Grants jump shot tied the game 5-5, Northwestern seized control in the next 3:30.Law drained eight straight points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Skelly followed with a pair of free throws before Pardon scored on a lay-up to cap the onslaught.Bryant (2-4) started no one taller than 6-foot-6 and just one upperclassman in the loss, its third in the last four starts.We did some good things, especially at the start of the second half, Bryant coach Tim OShea said. We have a young team and dont play in the Big Ten, so I think we had an impressive effort throughout the course of the game.BIG PICTUREBryant: The challenge will be to find a consistent third scorer to complement the Grant-Zouzoua backcourt, which accounted for 52 percent of their points thus far. We have (the talent), OShea said. But its young talent that will take time to develop. The Bulldogs were picked to finish third in the Northeast Conference preseason coaches poll.Northwestern: While the Wildcats have shot the longball well thus far, the jury remains out on their inside game. They entered the contest with a .451 success rate from beyond the arc, best among Big Ten teams. Law (.700) and Lindsey (.455) led the way among the regulars.ALL FOR ONEPaced by Lindsey and Skelly with six apiece, Northwestern had 25 assists on 31 field goals against an extended 2/3 zone defense. Thats a sign of good ball movement and guys who are willing to do it, Collins said.UP NEXTBryant: The Bulldogs travel to Providence, Rhode Island, for a date with Brown on Monday night.Northwestern: The Wildcats will get a big test against Wake Forest in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge in Evanston on Monday night.

The AFLs decision to grant Greater Western Sydney a home final at Spotless Stadium has raised eyebrows, with Geelong and the Western Bulldogs saying they deserve the same right.GWS will host the September 24 preliminary final against either Hawthorn or the Western Bulldogs at their 24,000 capacity home venue.Geelong chief executive Brian Cook says the leagues decision is a game-changer which should pave the way for the Cats to play home finals at Simonds Stadium from 2017.The venues capacity will increase to 36,000 once an ongoing redevelopment is completed in May.Geelong will host their home preliminary final against either Sydney or Adelaide at the MCG but Cook said the Cats push to host more playoff matches at Simonds Stadium had been strengthened.We think if its good enough for GWS down at Spotless, its good enough for us down at Simonds, he told SEN Radio.Geelongs sole finals appearance at Simonds Stadium - a 2013 semi-final against Fremantle - was only scheduled there because the MCG was unavailable and it was against a non-Victorian team.Cook said the redeveloped Simonds Stadium would be suitable for finals against any opposition except for big-drawing Melbourne clubs such as Hawthorn and Collingwood.I think we would still probably need to play them in Melbourne, he said.But thats not an easy question to answer because there are a lot of our members who would say `play it in Geelongs because it gives us the best chance of making a grand final.We dont think theres any excuse for us not to host a final if we deserve one and earn it.The Western Bulldogs are keen to play home finals at Etihad Stadium after they were forced to host Adelaide at the MCG in the first week of last years playoffs.Veteran defender Matthew Boyd said the club had moved on from last years finals but admitted Etihad would have been a preferable venue.We would have liked to have played a home final last year at Etihad, obviously, earning the home final like we did, he said on Monday.Former Bulldogs captain Brad Johnson said he believed the AFL had been inconsistent in deciding where finals games should be played.Dogs didnt get Etihad against Adelaide last year for crowd, we had to go to MCG because its the best venue in the state, he told RSN927. Frans Nielsen Jersey . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds.

Youth Red Wings Jerseys . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. http://www.authenticredwingsshopnhl.com/alex-delvecchio-jersey/ . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win. Steve Yzerman Jersey . Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Pavel Datsyuk Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Midway through this week, Alex Smith was still pondering the misfires that plagued the Kansas City Chiefs in their loss at Houston when he normally would be focused on the upcoming opponent.It was an unmistakable reminder of the enormous price of those missed opportunities.And just how rare they have been.Ive been thinking about it and Id be lying if I said I wasnt, Smith said.We havent had a day like that in a long time. I cant remember the last time. I was going through missed connections -- there were probably seven or eight of them and a lot of yards.Indeed, Smith completed just 20 of 37 passes in the 19-12 defeat, his worst completion percentage since Week 5 last season.But he was even worse when it came to his wide receivers, completing half of his 24 attempts to Jeremy Maclin, Chris Conley, Albert Wilson and Tyreek Hill.Most confounding about that statistic? Hes been working with all but Hill for more than a year, so it stands to reason the chemistry between quarterback and wide receiver should be better.There were a lot of missed connections, a lot of offense and a lot of plays that ultimately changed the day, Smith said.The games are fast, you get going and playing fast and youre not always 100 percent. There were certainly a lot of plays out there that we normally make.Take the 15 passes directed at Maclin, his most sure-handed wide receiver. Not only did Maclin drop a pass -- hes only dropped four the past two years combined -- but he only hauled in just six of them. Three of those completions came on the final drive, the game already out of reach.Two of the missed completions were on third down, scuttling potential drives.In fact, Smith dropped back to pass 11 times on third down last Sunday. One snap over his head resulted in a lost fumble, two more plays ended in sacks and two completions were shy of the first-down marker. Only twice did he hit for a first down, and just one of those was to a wide receiver.It was a big reason why Kansas City was just 3 off 14 on third downs, and why the Chiefs failed to score a touchdown.dddddddddddd They had to settle for four field goals from Cairo Santos.It wasnt necessarily accuracy, it was just being on the same page -- the wide receivers and quarterbacks on the same page, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Thats something I have to work with. If youre a hair off it can affect things. Thats why we practice so much.Practice can certainly help. But remember, Smith has been working with Maclin, Conley and Wilson the past two seasons, through two training camps and countless practices.I would definitely say its a fluke, Conley said. But it also comes down to the way we practice, so we have to be consistent here. We have to hold ourselves accountable, and we have to do some things better in practice as well.Smith and Co. should have a chance to fix their communication problems on Sunday.The New York Jets have one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL, and will no doubt get plenty of pressure on the quarterback.But when given time to throw, opposing passers have been able to shred their secondary, even beating perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis a couple of times.The Jets are allowing more than 315 yards per game through the air the first two weeks.You dont panic. You go back to the fundamentals a little bit, Smith said. You go back to the work, communicating, making sure were on the same page and getting those things worked out.Game notes S Eric Berry (knee) and LBs Tamba Hali (knee) and Sam Barrington (hamstring) were back at practice Thursday after missing the previous day. ... There was no change in the status of OLs Jah Reid (ankle), Parker Ehinger (concussion) or Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff (ankle). Reid and Ehinger did not practice Wednesday and Duvernay-Tardiff has been limited this week.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

LONDON -- Christian Eriksen scored twice as Tottenham secured a much-needed 3-0 victory over Hull in the English Premier League on Wednesday.The in-form Danish midfielders double took his tally to five goals in his last four Premier League games and helped revive the fortunes of a Spurs side that had won just three of its last 13 games in all competitions going into this fixture.Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino chose to employ the 3-5-2 formation that has brought so much success to league leader Chelsea this season and was rewarded as his wing backs proved crucial in unlocking the dogged Hull defence.I think it (the formation) worked well -- the first two goals arrived from very good action from our full backs, Pochettino said.Three points keeps us in a very good position in the table -- very close to the top four.The victory ensured the north London side remains fifth in the Premier League, three points behind fourth-place Manchester City in the race for a Champions League slot next season.Hull, which has now won just one of its last 12 league fixtures, remains 19th, just one point above last-place Sunderland.Im staying as positive and making sure the players stay as positive as they possibly can, Hull manager Mike Phelan said.The quality came through for Tottenham at the end and before you know it youre 3-0 down and wondering why.With Spurs having hardly threatened in the opening stages, Danny Rose was released by Jan Vertonghen down the left flank in the 14th minute and cut inside before finding Eriksen, who emphatically struck the ball into the roof of the net.Hull limited Tottenham to few clear openings for the remainder of the first half but was rarely able to mount a threat itself.Jake Livermore came closest for the visiting side as he forced a fine save from Hugo Lloris following a swift counter attack on the hour mark, but Hull would immediately be punished for wasting its opportunity.Just as frustration levels were rising for the home side, a near identical copy of the opening goal came in the 63rd.Eric Dier chipped the ball forward for Kyle Walker on the right, who surged into the box and squared for Eriksen to tap home from just a yard (meter) out.Ten minutes later, Eriksen came within inches of a hat trick as his free kick was tipped onto the post by Hull goalkeeper David Marshall, but Victor Wanyama was on hand to convert the rebound.

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have ended Adam Eatons rehabilitation stint in the minors after the young outfielder felt soreness in his injured left elbow. Eaton had been a designated hitter in the minors for the past few weeks but began playing the outfield last weekend. Manager Kirk Gibson, speaking before Arizonas game at Colorado on Wednesday, says Eaton felt discomfort in the elbow during an appearance with Triple-A Reno on Monday and was returning to Phoenix to be examined by team doctor Michael Lee. Eaton has been on the disabled list all season after spraining his elbow in spring training. Before that, he had been slated to play centre field and be the teams leadoff hitter.

Puma Creepers Mens .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. MIAMI -- After the final out, Justin Upton made a beeline for his brother in the Atlanta Braves outfield, and they shared a happy hand slap. Both were key contributors in a victory, which hasnt happened often this year. Justin Upton homered, doubled twice and scored three runs, while B.J. had two hits, drove in a run and scored to help beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 Tuesday night. "They both had great at-bats," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Its a long season. Were always wishing for more, but there are going to be ups and downs, and you have to be patient with the guys." Justin Upton doubled home a run in the third, doubled and scored to make it 4-all in the fifth, then hit his 16th home run -- but first since June 12 -- leading off the seventh against reliever Ryan Webb. In Mondays 14-inning marathon, Upton hit a two-run double to put Atlanta ahead in the final inning. "Hes starting to swing it like he did early in the season," Gonzalez said. Upton had 12 homers after just 23 games. His brother has been languishing below .200 but showed signs of shaking out of his slump by hitting the ball hard in all four at-bats. He had a sacrifice fly and raised his average to .178 with two hits. He also was robbed of an RBI single on a leaping grab by third baseman Ed Lucas. "Im starting to feel a lot better at the plate and hitting the ball hard," B.J. Upton said. "Theyre not always going to fall, but Im starting to see my work pay off, and I definitely feel a lot better up there." Justin Upton said its fun to share success with his brother. "He has stung a few balls right at people on this trip," Justin said. "Hes got to keep swinging and theyll fall." Pitchers for the two teams combined to retire 30 consecutive batters Monday, when Atlanta won 7-1 in 14 innings. The second game of the series was a slugfest by comparison, with the Uptons leading the way. They helped the Braves overcome deficits of 3-1 and 4-3. Atlanta leads the NL with 27 come-from-behind wins. Julio Teheran (7-4), mindful of Mondays 14-inning game, went 7 1-3 innings and allowed only one earned run. "I told the bullpen, Ive got this game," Teheran said. "I wanted them to rest. When they took me out, they wwere like, I thought you were going nine innings.ddddddddddddI said, Sorry, I tried." All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save in 27 chances, and Atlanta improved to 12-2 at Marlins Park since it opened in 2012. On Wednesday, the NL East leaders will try to complete their first sweep of a road series since April 12-14. The Marlins, who have the NLs worst record, lost their fifth game in a row. Henderson Alvarez (0-1) allowed five runs, four earned, in six innings. The start was his second after he missed the first three months of the season because of shoulder inflammation. "We started nitpicking the strike zone a little too much, and started getting in hitters counts," catcher Rob Brantly said. "That hurt us." An unearned run put the Braves ahead to stay in the sixth. Alvarez fielded Teherans swinging bunt and threw wildly past first for an error, allowing B.J. Upton to score from second base. "What weve seen is when we make a mistake, theyve been able to make us pay for it," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "We gave them a run there on the error, and we dont have enough offence to give away runs." Brantly hit his first home run of the season, a three-run shot with two outs in the second. The runs were all unearned because they scored following a one-out error by third baseman Chris Johnson. The Braves went ahead in the second when Freddie Freeman led off with a double, advanced on a groundout and scored on B.J. Uptons sacrifice fly. That was Uptons 20th RBI in 266 at-bats.

Grabner now has 10 goals in 16 games this season, topping the nine he had in 80 games with Toronto last year.Andrej Sekera scored for Edmonton and Cam Talbot finished with 24 saves. The Oilers have lost three straight to fall to 2-5-1 since starting the season 7-1-0.

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Dave Casper Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Jim Plunkett Jersey . That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected.MASON, Ohio -- The vintage rematch ended with Rafael Nadal pumping his arms after a final forehand. He was a little bit better than old nemesis Roger Federer once again. Nadal advanced to the semifinals of the Western & Southern Open with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 win over Federer on Friday night, a vintage rematch that reinforced their head-to-head standings for now. Nadal improved to 21-10 against his top rival, including wins all of their three matches this year. A close match came down to a few points, and Nadal got most of them. "Always the emotions out there when we play each other," Nadal said. Their first meeting in Cincinnati highlighted a day of upsets in the mens bracket. No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Andy Murray lost in the quarterfinals. No. 1 Serena Williams moved on in the womens bracket. Nadal moves on, too, playing Tomas Berdych in the semifinals. Its been a summer of resurgence for the 27-year-old Spaniard. He missed the end of last season with a knee injury, but has gotten into one of the best stretches this season. He takes a career-best 51-3 mark into the semifinal, including a 14-1 against Top 10 opponents. Its been a rough summer for Federer, who was beaten by a player ranked 116th in the world at Wimbledon. And that was just the start. The 32-year-old Swiss star kept getting upset and struggled with a sore back. Federer hoped that his week in Cincinnati would help him repair his game. Hes won the tournament an unprecedented five times. As the week went along, his game got noticeably better, leaving him optimistic about the U.S. Open. "I can definitely take more things away from this week than I could for the last sort of three months," Federer said. "So Im happy about that. That sets it up nicely for me for New York, I think." Their match was as good as any in the tournament. Federer got the first break to go up 6-5 in the opening set and finished it off with a crosscourt backhand. Nadal got his first break of the match to win the second set. He broke Federer again in the second game of the third set to take control. They moved each other around, hit the lines and lobbed over each others heads, making one exquisite shot after another while bringing fans to their feet. Federer fought off four match points before Nadal put it away. "Could have won tonight, should have won tonight, who knows?" Federer said. "But at the end, I think Rafas confidence and the way hes playing at the moment got him through." While Federer and Nadal rekindled a famous rivalry, the top-ranked player had another disappointment on Cincinnatis fast, blue courts. Its tthe only place that Djokovic cant win.dddddddddddd Top-ranked American John Isner ended his attempt to make ATP history on Friday, prevailing 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-5. Djokovic has never won in Cincinnati, where hes lost in the finals four times, including last year to Federer. All he needs to do is hoist the winners trophy one time in Cincinnati to become the first player to win all nine ATP Masters events. Wait until next year. Again. "Its disappointing that I played this way," Djokovic said. "For me, its very disappointing." Isner reached the semifinals in Cincinnati for the first time, knocking off a No. 1 for only the second time in his career. His other No. 1 upset? He beat Djokovic at Indians Wells in the semifinals last year. "A fantastic win for me," Isner said. "Certainly one of my greatest memories as a tennis player." Hell play seventh-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, who advanced Friday by beating qualifier Dmitry Tursunov 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. Del Potro, who has a sore wrist and knee, is in the semifinals for the second straight year. Soon after Djokovic got knocked out, Murray was gone, too. He failed to convert a break point while losing 6-3, 6-4 to Berdych, who also beat him in the quarterfinals at Madrid. In the womens draw, Williams needed only 64 minutes to beat Simona Halep 6-0, 6-4. Shell play Li Na, who advanced to the semifinals automatically when No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska withdrew to attend her grandfathers funeral. Like Djokovic, Williams has never won in Cincinnati, which has become one of her goals. She struggles with the conditions on court and wasnt happy with her overall level of play on Friday. "I have quite a few things on my tennis bucket list," Williams said. "This obviously is one of them. But I like to believe if it doesnt happen this year, I always have another chance." Fourteenth-seeded Jelena Jankovic beat 12th-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-0, 6-4 to reach the semifinals for the third time. She won the tournament in 2009 and lost the title match to Maria Sharapova in 2011. "I love playing here in Cincinnati because I have great results in the past," said Jankovic, who fought off eight of nine break points in the second set. "So that always helps. I mean, I was a finalist and a champion before, so you always love coming back to places where you can win." Shell play No. 2 Victoria Azarenka, who beat Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 7-6 (5) in the final match Friday night. Azarenka had to withdraw at Toronto last week because of a sore lower back, but reached the semifinals in Cincinnati for the first time.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Frank Gore doesnt see turning 30 as a bad thing, even if its the age when most NFL running backs start to decline. If anything, the San Francisco 49ers career rushing leader has embraced the milestone and sees it as another means of motivation. "I love it," Gore said Thursday outside of the 49ers locker room. "I feel like every year its something with me. I have to overcome everything, every year. Now that Im 30 I just have to keep working and training hard." Not that Gore has ever needed extra incentive. Whether it was being bypassed in the 2005 draft when he was the sixth running back selected or the string of injuries hes endured and overcome since then, Gore has always felt the need to prove people wrong. The 49ers clearly know Gores value and have limited his participation in the off-season workouts, including this weeks three-day minicamp. San Francisco hopes the time off will help keep Gore fresher for the regular season. Hes topped 1,000 yards in six of the past seven years, but hes also had a tendency to wear down late in the season. Since the end of the 2009 season, Gore has failed to record a 100-yard game in the months of November and December. He rebounded to top that mark twice in the playoffs last season, including in the 49ers Super Bowl loss to Baltimore when Gore ran for 110 yards and a touchdown. That wasnt enough to silence the critics. And when Gore turned 30 on May 14, the doubts seemed to increase. Even his spot on a recently released list of the top 100 players in the NFL didnt sit well with the ninth-year veteran. Gore was No. 32. "They said hes turning 30 and he might not have (any) more left," Gore said. "I like that type of stuff. Whenever (the 49ers) let me get on the field, Im going to go hard and prove everybody wrong again." Just when Gore will be on the field is the question. While hes done some light individual work, the 49ers have not let him take part in any on-field practices. He was a spectator at practice Thursday and likely wont put on pads until San Francisco opens training camp in July. That led to speculation that Gore might be nursing an injury. But when questioned about it on Thursday, Gore was as elusive as he has been on the field. "Im cool, Im good," he said. "Im just listening to (head trainer Jeff Ferguson). He told me he didnt want me doing anything right now, and Im listening. Im just getting my body back. I want to be fresh whenever I get back on the field." Keeping Gore fresh is critical considering the health of some of San Franciscos other running backs. Kendall Hunter, the top backup behind Gore, is still mending from a torn Achilles tendon he suffered last season. Rookie Marcus Lattimore, one of the teams two fourth-round draft picks, is also trying to come back after an injury-filled college career that included a career-threatening right knee injury in 2012. Gore and Lattimore have formed a kinship of sorts because of their similar histories. Gore suffered serious injuries to both knees while in college before rebounding to become a four-time Pro Bowl running back for the 49ers. "Hes a good kid," Gore said of Lattimore. "I went through the same thing, being one of the best backs at the school and getting drafted late in the rounds and you dont know if you could get back to (being) you. Im pulling for him." Notes: First-round draft pick Eric Reid was held out of practice with an unspecified minor injury, according to coach Jim Harbaugh. ... Wide receiver Brandon Carswell, who was signed on Wednesday, suffered a torn ACL. ... Anquan Boldin, the 49ers prized off-season acquisition, was on the field but did not take part in the full-team scrimmage portion of practice. Jordan Mills Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Brock Osweiler cannot predict exactly how his first game with the Houston Texans will transpire.But Osweiler knows one thing. After spending the past four seasons in the same quarterback room as future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, he will be 100 percent prepared.I can promise you, from Monday to Sunday, every single hour is accounted for, said Osweiler, who left the Denver Broncos as a free agent in March to sign a four-year, $72 million deal with the Texans. I know you can say that about a lot of guys in that locker room and definitely this coaching staff as well. So Im not the only one doing that, but that was one thing I was able to see and learn from Peyton from my time with him. There was never a stone that was left unturned.Houston hopes its new faces on offense and familiar faces on a dominant defense can lead the franchise to its first Super Bowl appearance. The Texans will open the season as a home favorite against the Chicago Bears, who are looking to improve in their second season under coach John Fox.If any opposing coach knows what to expect from Osweiler, it is Fox. He coached the 6-foot-8, 235-pound quarterback for two seasons with the Broncos before joining the Bears before the 2015 season.Brock is highly intelligent, Fox said. He spent a couple good years under a pretty good guy in Peyton Manning. Hes wired right from a mental standpoint. Hes big, hes tall. He is athletic for a tall man. A lot was made of his height, and he hangs in the pocket pretty well.The Bears went 6-10 in their first season with Fox, who led two-year turnarounds during his previous coaching stints in Carolina and Denver each ending in Super Bowl experiences in Foxs second season. Quarterback Jay Cutler returns for his ninth season in Chicago, where wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White offer his top targets downfield.White will make his NFL debut on Sunday after missing all of his rookie season because of a stress fracture in his lower left shin. The 6-foot-3, 216-pound receiver was the Bears first-round selection (No. 7 overall) out of West Virginia in the 2015 draft.Bears running back Jeremy Langford also expects to take on a more prominent role in the offense. Langford is first in line to replace two-time Pro Bowl running back Matt Forte, who signed with the New York Jets during the offseasonn after the Bears elected not to bring him back.ddddddddddddHoustons hard-nosed defense presents a tough test for Langford, White and the rest of the Bears. The Texans set a franchise record in 2015 with 45 sacks, including a 17 1/2 sacks from J.J. Watt and 12 sacks from Whitney Mercilus. A relentless pass rush was part of the reason Houston finished 9-7 and won the AFC South division title despite a revolving door of quarterbacks led by Brian Hoyer.The Bears are expecting Watt to play but their best offensive lineman, Pro Bowl right guard Kyle Long, is questionable with a shoulder injury.Watt returned to practice this week after missing the preseason as he recovered from back surgery to repair a herniated disc. Texans coach Bill OBrien did not comment on what kind of workload the four-time Pro Bowl defender would be given against the Bears.I would say that he will play, OBrien said. Beyond that, Im not going to answer too much more about that. But Ill say that hell play in the game.A revitalized Houston offense could help to Watt and his defensive teammates stay off the field.In addition to adding Osweiler, the Texans bolstered their backfield during the offseason by signing free agent running back Lamar Miller from the Miami Dolphins. Miller ranks fifth in the NFL over the past two seasons with 2,643 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, a dynamic receiving corps featuring DeAndre Hopkins and a pair of rookies, Will Fuller and Braxton Miller, will test Chicagos secondary.The Bears defense is strong up front with Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman and rookie Jonathan Bullard helping to anchor a 3-4 scheme. Lamarr Houston and Willie Young will try to pressure Osweiler from their spots at outside linebacker. However, the back end of Chicagos defense is fraught with inexperience and inconsistency.Rookie pass rusher Leonard Floyd also will make his NFL debut for the Bears. Shoulder and hamstring injuries during the preseason limited Floyd, who was Chicagos top pick (No. 9 overall) in this years draft.Overall, his camp was kind of choppy, Bears defensive coordinator Vig Fangio said. ... Hes up against men now. And hes found that out quickly. Some ways, its not a bad way to break in.

NEW YORK -- Nathan Eovaldi might never throw another pitch for the New York Yankees, and his entire baseball future is suddenly uncertain.The right-hander revealed Tuesday he will miss the remainder of this season and all of next year because of two tears in his elbow that require serious surgery. Its a stunning setback for the Yankees, who hoped Eovaldi would be a key cog in their rotation for several seasons when they acquired him from the Miami Marlins in a December 2014 trade.A huge blow, Eovaldi said outside the clubhouse. When I got the MRI and got the results, I was really surprised.One of the hardest-throwing starters in the majors, the inconsistent Eovaldi was 9-8 with a 4.76 ERA in 124 2/3 innings this year. It seems unlikely New York will keep him on the roster as he rehabs next year, knowing he could become a free agent following the season.After receiving a second opinion on his ailing elbow, Eovaldi said he has a torn flexor tendon and a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. The torn UCL will necessitate a second Tommy John surgery for the 26-year-old, who had the procedure nine years ago when he was a high school junior.It hurt. I mean, this is a guy we were counting on, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday night after his bullpen blew a six-run lead in a 12-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays that was delayed 42 minutes by rain in the fifth inning.Hes got to go through 14 months of rehab, and you feel for the kid. But hell be back, and his toughness will get him back.Eovaldi was removed from his start Wednesday night in Boston after one inning with right elbow discomfort. His fastball averaged 93.91 mph, down from 97.16 mph in his previous outing, according to Brooks Baseball.I felt like I couldnt really let my fastball go and if I did, something bad would happen, he said. My off-speed stuff felt fine.Eovaldi said he actually experienced more pain late last season when he was shut down with elbow inflammation. But he had an MRI last Thursday and was evaluated by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad before seeking a second opinion from Dr. David Altchek, the New York Mets medical director.Meanwhile, the Yankees put Eovaldi on the disabled list and promoted right-hander Chad Green from Triple-A to start Monday night against Toronto.Green struck out 11 over six innings in a 1-0 victory and will remain in the rotation. Joining him will be rookie right-hander Luis Cessa, scheduled to make his first major league start Saturday at the Los Angeles Angels after New York demoted Luis Severino to the minors this week.Cessa is 2-0 with a 5.30 ERA in eight relief appearances. He went 6-3 with a 3.03 ERA in 15 games, including 14 starts, at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He and Green were both acquired from Detroit in December for lefty reliever Justin Wilson after the Mets sent Cessa to the Tigers with Michael Fulmer for Yoenis Cespedes at the 2015 trade deadline.We just want him to pitch like hes capable of pitching, Girardi said. We dont want to put too much on his plate. We think hes earned a right to start in this spot.Even as theyve discarded several veteran stars and turned to a youth movement, the Yankees have picked up their play and remained in the playoff hunt. But the injury to Eovaldi will put pressure on unproven arms -- perhaps next season, too.Eovaldi said he is optimistic hell be back in 2018 and is leaning toward selecting Ahmad to perform the operation. The flexor tendon procedure normally has a recovery time of about three to six months, but the Tommy John surgery could require at least 14-18 months of rehabilitation, according to Eovaldi.Its the second one, so its a big deal, he said. Hopefully everything goes well with the surgery and Ill work hard to get back.Eovaldi was 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA in 27 starts last season, his first with the Yankees. He got demoted to the bullpen last month but was 2-2 in four starts after returning to the rotation. He threw a cutter in his last five starts (beginning July 19 vs. Baltimore) after not using the pitch since 2012.Eovaldi is making $5.6 million this year and will be eligible for arbitration again in the offseason. But rather than carry an injured pitcher for about $7 million or so, the Yankees probably wont offer him a 2017 contract, which would make Eovaldi a free agent one year earlier than expected.Combined with the exits of Mark Teixeira, Carlos Beltran, Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller and Ivan Nova, that means New York projects to have about $65 million coming off its payroll after this season. Air Max 270 Donna . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Nike Epic React Flyknit Triple Black Scarpe Nere . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. http://www.epicreactflyknitsaldi.it/uomo-air-max-95-deluxe-particle-rose-particle-rose.html . Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. Uomo Nike Air Max 270 Scarpe Osso Chiaro .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. Air Max 97 Rosa . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. It was interesting to see Aaron Smith, a player who often leads the haka, didnt do so against Ireland in Chicago.Smith looked like he was hiding in that team and he was almost apologetic about the way he was playing. Hes obviously been through a hell of a lot and, unfortunately, hes going to go through a bit more.Everything about his game, his cheekiness, his verbal in-your-face, his confidence; it wasnt there and we all know why. It reminded me of a Tiger Woods syndrome. You cant afford that in the highest level of sport. Youve got to go out and be you, ooze confidence, and have faith in the way you can play.There was a clear difference between the two half-backs when TJ Perenara came on. Hes in the form of his life at the moment.We need to identify that this title of worlds best halfback is only ever related to form, and the title goes to the player who has the form of the worlds best half-back. It is not a title you have for life.Irelands Conor Murray grabbed the title from everyone last weekend; his form was sublime, he was outstanding.But from the All Blacks point of view, Perenara is the better player, right here, right now. The All Blacks selectors are going to have to take that into account. Its changing times. Thats not to say form cant be recaptured but that comes ffrom confidence and rebuilding from where Smith has been.dddddddddddd.I can only imagine what he has been going through in the public arena. He didnt commit a crime but hes been treated worse than most criminals in the court of public opinion. His recovery will take time.I am really confident the loss is a great wake-up call for the All Blacks to make them realise they dont have the right to keep on going out and winning Test matches. Im sure they know this.They didnt turn up in Chicago, but next week they will. I remember Sir Graham Henry was once asked what would be the best thing for the All Blacks and he responded it would be to lose.Records aside, losing is a good thing in the greater scheme of things. It puts you back in your place, back in your box, so you can say, right, get back on track. Ive got no doubt that in the next three games the All Blacks are going to wipe the face of France, Italy and woe betide Ireland who, I dont think, will get within 40 points in Dublin.New Zealand will be hurting and there is nothing worse than an All Blacks team that is hurting. I could be proved wrong but it is a good readjustment for Steve Hansens side.

BEIJING -- As coaches take notes, teenagers dribble footballs through a course of cones on Ritan Middle Schools gleaming artificial field in eastern Beijing, part of a massive program to promote soccer as a pillar of Chinas rise to global prominence.The 14-year-old boys and girls were being scrutinized under a newly added section of Beijings high school entrance exam, which beginning this year includes an elective football skills test in addition to such standards as Chinese, math, and English.While the skills tests comprise only a small part of the placement exam, the fact education officials tweaked a notoriously rigid standardized test is one sign of how thoroughly China is mobilizing under President Xi Jinpings drive to overhaul the game domestically and turn the Chinese team into a World Cup winner by 2050.The football revolution spans from schoolyards to the top professional league. Local officials tout how thousands of high schools are becoming government-designated football priority schools. Cities announce hundreds of football complexes being built every week.Chinese clubs are paying record fees to woo stars away from Europe and boost interest in the domestic league. And in the past year alone, Chinese investors have spent a staggering $3 billion to buy stakes in European clubs, with the stated aim of bringing football know-how back to China.Weve talked about football under several top leaders but until now, there has never been this will, said Pang Xiaozhong, former director of the Institute of Sport Science, an arm of Chinas state sports program. Its unprecedented.Boosting Chinas standing in the game is part of Xis push to raise Chinas global prestige. With the national mens team ranked No. 78, a turnaround would be nothing short of cathartic. While the womens team has often found international success, Chinas men have qualified for only one World Cup, bouncing out of the 2002 competition without scoring a goal.Decades after Chinas government successfully created a Soviet-style sports juggernaut, emphasizing highly technical disciplines such as diving, the question is whether the sports-by-diktat approach can work for the worlds most popular game. Unlike sports such as gymnastics, in which elite state academies develop selected prospects from a young age, commentators say football success will require a huge player base and vibrant, structured youth leagues -- all of which China is trying to create practically from scratch.In May, the cabinet issued a 50-point plan that called on local and provincial governments to promote football by setting up school programs, creating amateur leagues, offering tax breaks for pitch construction and recruiting foreign coaches with the goal of establishing 70,000 new fields and producing 50 million school-age players by 2020.In a top-down system under which the ruling Communist Party still issues five-year economic plans, this state-led mix of infrastructure investment and mass grassroots mobilization is precisely what Beijing sees as needed to bring home a World Cup trophy.In China, the role of the government is always the biggest and most effective, Pang said. Football is something we can grasp if were methodic.Although the government has not released cost estimates for its development plan, analysts say hundreds of millions could be spent over the next five years on facilities alone.What has been made public, however, is the $300 million this year that Chinese Super League clubs have splashed out recruiting stars such as Ramires, Alex Teixeira, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Jackson Marttinez and former Arsenal striker Gervinho.dddddddddddd And that does not include the wages on offer at Chinese clubs, which are now some of the highest in the world.Clubs have also splurged on high-profile coaches, including ex-Real Madrid and Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, former Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari and one-time England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.Jonathan Sullivan, director of the China Policy Institute at the University of Nottingham, said theres no reason to doubt China could become a regional football superpower. But he warned there were similarities with the governments approach to economic planning that, despite its successes, can lead to inefficiency or graft. One example is the wave of interest that followed the 2002 World Cup run, which quickly fizzled out when the domestic league was hit by rampant corruption scandals.The leadership sketches a hugely ambitious and yet ambiguous vision and people lower down the chain -- government bureaus, provincial governments -- and those hoping to curry favor, especially in business, pick it up and run with it, Sullivan said. The problem is everyone often runs in different directions.Chinese football investors are already scrambling to buy into storied clubs such as Inter Milan and AC Milan, sometimes speaking of those deals as patriotic buyers.In a recent interview, Jiantong Tony Xia, who took over Englands Aston Villa in May, said a main objective was to eventually field Chinese players and establish academies.Its been proven that buying foreign firms with know-how and then bringing that back to the domestic industry has been the most efficient route, Xia said.As Chinas most powerful leader in decades, Xis personal influence on the promotion of football has been enormous.The president makes no secret of his love for the game which he picked up as a child playing alongside the scions of other Communist Party leaders at the elite Beijing 101 Middle School.A 1983 exhibition match between China and English club Watford was said to have left a particular impression on Xi. China was then just opening up to the outside world after decades of Maoism, and when Watford trounced the Chinese national team, Xi left the Beijing Workers Stadium fuming, childhood friend Nie Weiping recalled in an interview years later with state media.He felt hurt watching the match, Nie was quoted as saying. But hes continued to always follow Team China.Those presidential concerns appear to be having a direct effect at the grassroots.On the leafy Ritan Middle School campus, extracurricular director Xu Fuxing described how the public schools budget has risen 25 percent since Xis administration made sports an educational priority.The campus recently resurfaced an artificial field and Xu has hired youth football academy Huawen to train its students. Aside from offering traveling competitions that barely existed a few years ago, Huawen employs coaches such as Juan Varela, a former trainer with Atletico Madrid who moved to China earlier this year and works with help from translators.Speaking over Varelas cries of Spread out! Spread out! as eight-year-old kids swarmed after loose balls, Xu said the national plans key element is to encourage the formation of clubs and leagues to offer competitive experiences to young players.Even small measures such as Beijings new football exam have encouraged kids to try the game and, as Xu said, It symbolizes much more to come.

OTTAWA -- Buffalo Sabres center?Jack Eichel will make his 2016-17 season debut Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre.Eichel, 20, sustained a high-ankle sprain during training camp and missed the first 21 games. His presence in the lineup should help the Sabres, who are 7-9-5.Yeah, Im looking forward to it, Eichel said. Ive been waiting a while, so itll be nice to play a game.Based on previous practices and the teams morning skate Tuesday, Eichel will be playing with linemates Sam Reinhart and Evander Kane. The type of injury Eichel sustained will still take some time to fully heal, but he said hell try not to think about it once the puck drops.Thats where I tried to get to on the ice in practice, not thinking about it and just going out there and playing, he said. Obviously its there but you dont want any restrictions; you want to be out there playing your game for the most part and not worry about it. Thats the point I wanted to get to and thats where I am now, so thats why Im going to play.Eichel played for Team North America during the World Cup of Hockey in September before he suffered the injury with the Sabres.Obviously the hardest part is not being able to play, he said. You work all summer to try to hit the ground running, and youre excited about the season. Its your second year and youre looking forward to it and youre postponed a little bit, but that happens.Hockeys a contact game with a lot of injuries. I just credit the staff here with the Sabres and everyone that has helped me get healthy quick, and I just look forward to returning tonight and trying to make an impact on the team.During his rookie season, the 2015 No. 2 overall pick posted 24 goals and 32 assists for 56 points in 81 games.Theres a big point of anticipation having him back, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. The injury came right at the cusp of the season, and it was a tough injury, and he was out for a considerable amount of time, and now you have that anticipation of having him back in your lineup.

Englands increasingly proficient one-day side might well offer a beacon of hope for those looking for a distraction this week. England cricket fans knew the meaning of omnishambles long before it was added to the dictionary and might regard it as something of a perversity that, after the countrys footballers were put on ice by the smallest nation at Euro 2016 and as politicians continue exploring the realms beyond satire, it is their sport that provides a fleeting opportunity for optimism.It is not so long ago that Englands ODI players were sent packing from a major tournament to the accompaniment of boos and hisses, of course. Eoin Morgan is periodically asked to reflect on how far England have come since the 2015 World Cup and his responses to how the culture of the limited-overs teams has been changed, and where they can continue to improve, are typically well-rehearsed and emotion-free. Is it a stretch to suggest his cool captaincy and emphasis on collective enjoyment feels ever-so-slightly Icelandic?Morgan is no football fan, however, and England are one of the most well-resourced teams in cricket, so it is hard to make theirs an underdog story - no matter how mangy their one-day performances have been over the last couple of decades. Englands captain, who perhaps took slightly more of an interest during Irelands Euro 2016 defeat on Sunday, did concede that emotions are probably running high with everybody around the country at the moment but stopped short of endorsing the appointment of an Australian as Roy Hodgsons successor.Coincidentally, Hodgson watched Englands cricketers train the last time they prepared for a match at The Oval (one they lost by an innings to Australia) but he has now joined Peter Moores and Stuart Lancaster in the most recent ranks of English coaching disaster. Morgan was more interested in Eddie Jones success in turning around the rugby team - its been phenomenal to watch a whitewash against Australia on home soil - but eventually talk turned to his ongoing project alongside Trevor Bayliss in improving Englands ODI stocks.A tie at Trent Bridge, where Liam Plunketts last-ball six salvaged a game that appeared lost, was followed by more consummate displays in both disciplines at Edgbaston and another solid bowling performance, before the rain arrived to wipe out any chance of a result at Bristol. That means England still need to win one of the final two matches to secure the series - and they may come up against the weather again at The Oval, with a poor forecast for the afternoon.Its very important we work hard, they are a strong side, we dont take them for granted, Morgan said. The series still stands at 1-0, given weve played some really good cricket and not been able to capitalise because of the weather. Tomorrow again it is going to be tough to get it to that point but its important to emphasise the hard work that needs to be put in.As England have broken records with regularity over the last 12 months, it has been the batsmen that have taken the plaudits - most recently with Alex Hales and Jason Roy knocking off the highest successful chase for a team winning by ten wickets.However, the bowling has stood out so far in this series, with Sri Lanka limited to totals of 286 for 9, 254 for 7 and 248 for 9. England have got by on five specialist bowlers in each match, with Joe Root contributing three overs of back-up spin, and while Morgan said he would prefer to have more options - such as when Ben Stokes has been fit to play as an allrounder in the top six - results had been encouraging.At the moment it has worked, ideally we would have more but our strength has been our batting and to stick with that sends quite a lot of confidence through the changing room, Morgan said of the teams balance.It throws it over to the bowlers, more responsibility on them and they have done pretty well with it. Sometimes if you go in with six out-and-out bowlers it can be off the pace a little bit, when you pack your team with batters and if they play poorly you wonder if they rely too much on other people. Its a balance you just have to stay with what you feel is right for the team.England have become more accustomed to viewing the limited-overs formats as a squad game and Morgan said there were still plenty of options to consider ahead of next years Champions Trophy. Steven Finn has yet to play a game in the series - in part thanks to Liam Plunketts strong form - and Stuart Broads name continues to linger at edge of selectoral discussions.Meanwhile, a combination of poor batting, good batting (from Hales and Roy) and poor weather, means that Morgan, Root and Jonny Bairstow have had little opportunity for time in the middle. For that reason, as well as the desire to avoid going to Cardiff still only 1-0 up, England will hope the rain stays away over south London on Wednesday. As Hodgson, who led his team through a perfect qualifying campaign for Euro 2016, would attest, you can never be too well prepared for the challenges ahead.There is a lot of talk going into tournaments about knowing your best 11 but its more than that. A guy goes down in the first game, must-win, its more than having 11 - its how big your squad is. When you turn to guys at certain stages of a tournament you have got to be able to trust them, its not just your best team, but best squad. Trevor Bauer Jersey . Louis Blues. Shane Hnidy joins Brian Munz for the broadcast on TSN 1290 Radio at 7pm ct. Yan Gomes Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. http://www.baseballindiansprostore.com/indians-cody-allen-jersey/ . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Edwin Encarnacion Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. Roberto Perez Jersey . The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. In November 1962 one of crickets lingering anachronisms was finally abolished when the distinction between amateurs and professionals was officially scrapped. While of significance until World War Two - until the growth of Test cricket, outside an Ashes summer the highlight were the Gentlemen v Players matches - it all but fell apart in the social upheaval that followed.The splitting of players into two distinct groups was a fundamental part of the game. In its simplest form, professionals were paid, amateurs (widely known as gentlemen) were not. Within that the British class system was prevalent. Almost all amateurs were public school or at least middle-class; the professionals were generally working-class. Even then there were professionals who made a living from the game and those who were professional because they could not afford to me amateurs.Professionals were often treated much as servants would be and were expected to be as deferential to amateurs and committeemen as a butler would be to the master of the house. They had separate hotels when they travelled, separate changing rooms and food at the grounds, referred to by their surnames only, and at most counties could never aspire to captaincy. Even scorecards made a small but marked distinction - amateurs were given full initials, professionals surname only.Perhaps the way captaincy was handled was the most ridiculous aspect of it all. Professionals were deemed unable to take on such a role and so often found themselves playing under amateur captains who were barely of club standard. Counties often scratched round to find someone - anyone - willing to take charge. Some were so poor that they did little more than stand on the field while the senior professionals ran the show.The lines between the two were always murky - WG Grace, technically an amateur, earned more from the game than even the top professionals - and caused deep resentment. After World War One fewer people had the time or money to play for the fun of it and so the lines became ever more blurred. Some were often found work by counties and given under-the-counter payments to allow them to remain amateur - or shamateurs as they were widely known - making the distinction even more meaningless.In 1938 Wally Hammond had to switch from being a professional to a gentleman to allow him to become England captain. He was the same man, the same cricketer, but overnight he became acceptable in the eyes of the establishment. Even when Len Hutton became Englands first professional captain in 1952 it was only after he refused to go down the same route as Hammond. The mood of the country after World War Two was one of change and in 1946 Glamorgan proposed the abolition of the amateur but they found little support.By the late 1950s the distinction had long lost any credibility and amateurs were all but extinct. One by one the distinctions - dressing rooms, initials on scorecards, accommodation - were chipped away but the old guard refused to go down without a fight. Several committees reported it was time to treat everyone as simply cricketers but it was not until May 1962 the Advisory County Committee put forward a proposal to scrap amateur status.To distinguish between them is often humbug, reported the Times. That did not stop the same newspaper still refusing to print initials for anyone other than the so-called amateurs in the first matches on the 1962-63 MCC tour of Australia. At the start of the MCC tour of Australia the ccaptain, Ted Dexter, nominally still an amateur, admitted he earned considerably more from cricket than his various business ventures.ddddddddddddThe debate rumbled on all summer but even those who fought the change seemed to realise they were railing against the dying of the light. The curtain came down at Scarborough when fittingly the Players beat the Gentlemen in the final match of the summer. It was the 274th meeting of the teams in a contest dating back to 1806.On November 26 the 17 first-class counties met at Lords and after a six-hour meeting voted - although not unanimously - to end the distinction. The formal and official scrapping of amateur status came on January 31, 1963 when the MCC confirmed without dissent the earlier decision.Its a sad day and signals the end of an era, said Sir Jack Hobbs, the first professional to be knighted for services to the game. They were a great asset because they could freely whereas many professionals felt they couldnt take chances.In the Daily Telegraph EW Swanton lamented the change and questioned the moral authority of those making the decision.Those views were in a minority. in the same paper Michael Melford countered all that had been abolished was a form of legalised deceit. And Herbert Sutcliffe, who as a professional had turned down an at-the-time remarkable approach to captain the ultra-conservative Yorkshire in 1927, said he was in full agreement. Stuart Surridge, who as an amateur had led Surrey to seven successive Championships in the 1950s, said its a good thing … we are all cricketers at heart.Vic Wilson, who led Yorkshire to the Championship in 1962, said: A team is one body of men … it is commonsense to out all players on one footing.In a lead editorial the Daily Mirror congratulated the lawmakers … this silly social distinction needed hitting for six and could not resist a swipe at the Times into the bargain. Perhaps now this olde-world journal will print the initials of all MCC players … or is that expecting too much? As with many such long-debated changes there was actually little fallout. The Gentlemen v Players game disappeared off the fixture list but was largely unmourned. Several counties who had steadfastly refused to pick a professional captain were freed to choose the best man with a clear conscience.On February 14 Surrey picked their first non-amateur captain in Micky Stewart, ten years at the club but until then ineligible for the role. He said: It was a farce that an amateur could receive money for putting his name to sports equipment and writing articles without it affecting his status.Ken Grieves, who took charge at Lancashire that same summer, was even blunter. This cuts out the snobbery, he said. In the past a lot of things have been pushed aside for the old school tie.What happened next?Former England spinner Phil Edmonds asked to play as an amateur in 1988 as his business ventures meant he couldnt afford the time to commit to full-time cricket. You decide which games you want me to play, and Ill play, for nothing, he said according to the Daily Telegraph and he even began signing autographs Mr P H Edmonds. His offer was refused by the committee and he retiredIn 2010 a match between Gentlemen and Players was staged at Wormsley, with the Gentlemen recording their first win since 1953. As a sign of the time, it was a Twenty20 match Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

Jonathan Davies described how Wales silenced their critics after they concluded their November schedule with a record victory against hapless South Africa.A 27-13 victory at the Principality Stadium was only Wales third victory over the Springboks in 110 years, and it secured a 75 per cent autumn success-rate following earlier wins against Argentina and Japan.It was Wales best autumn return since 2002, but unquestionably a better achievement than 14 years ago, when their scalps were Romania, Canada and Fiji.And while critics have been quick to condemn Wales style of play for chunks of the November schedule, they have ended 2016 on a three-game unbeaten run and with momentum going into this seasons RBS 6 Nations Championship.I think it has been an upward curve, Wales centre Davies said. We have always said that traditionally we get better as a team when we stay together longer, and I think it showed.There has been a lot of criticism over the way weve played. In parts (against South Africa) we showed we could silence those critics. Whatever they think, it is their own opinion obviously, but we have beaten South Africa, and thats the most important thing.They are a Rugby Championship team, one of the best teams in the last couple of years, and we have to make sure we beat what is put in front of us, regardless of the form they show.Weve beaten South Africa, and there were 13 players in our changing room who have now beaten South Africa twice (Wales also toppled them two years ago), and we can take a lot from that.Second-half tries from hooker Ken Owens and flanker Justin Tipuric eased Wales home, while full-back Leigh Halfpenny moved past 550 points for his country by kicking five penalties and a conversion.

Yesterday was really difficult conditions and I was a bit unfortunate to plug in a bunker, but todays was just a poor shot.Ive been putting really well.

All in all Ive made a lot of putts and thats a really good thing for the confidence.The confidence then builds with the results and now its all in a good spot, so Ive just got to maintain it the best I can and keep going.The PGA Tour heads to Texas next for the WGC-Dell Match Play.

In a moving column for the Age, Emma Quayle writes about her colleague Jesse Hogans recovery and fight against illness. Hogan suffered a stroke at the end of February, was in a coma for five days and has survived several surgeries since then. He has fought back with the help of rehabilitation, taking strides towards recovery which include talking, even though doctors once feared he would not be able to, walking with a crutch and going through some of the daily tasks.Jesses team of therapists plan his weeks out together. His interests - sport, music, the news - have been a big focus of his sessions, which are also designed around his personal goals. He works with a speech therapist, and a physio. His occupational therapist is teaching him how to live with one arm: how to shower, get dressed, make a sandwich. His neuropsychology registrar helps him work through his feelings, does brain function games on an iPad with him and helps him work things out; compensating, and finding new ways to do things, is how he is recovering. Jesses favourite word is independent and he has won his new friends over with his determination. He pushes them hard, too.
