With Greene out, Brit wins in Goodwill Games 100
Three-time world champion Johnson knocks off defending Olympic champ Garcia in 110-meter hurdles
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -
With injured Maurice Greene on the
sidelines doing commentary, Britain's
Dwain Chambers won the 100 meters
at the Goodwill Games yesterday.
He beat his rivals out of the block's
and held off American Tim Mont-
gomery's late kick, winning in 10.11
a seconds.
Montgomery, the silver medalist at
the world championships, started
slowly and overtook all but Chambers
as he finished second in 10.27.
Ato Boldon of Trinidad and Tobago
was fifth, 0.30 behind the winner.
Greene, a three-time world cham-
4
pion, was reduced to the role of TV
commentator.
"I'd rather be down there," he said.
In races more true to form, three-
time world champion Allen Johnson
edged Cuba's Anier Garcia by 0.04 in
the 110-meter hurdles, and American
compatriot Stacy Dragila, the world
and Olympic champion, won the
women's pole vault.
Maria Mutola of Mozambique, the
Olympic and world champion in the
women's 800, won her third Goodwill
Games title in 1:58.76.
On the basketball court, the Ameri-
cans put on a dunking exhibition led
by Kenyon Martin and beat Cuba
111-70, advancing easily to the semi-
finals. They next meet Brazil, a 63-52
winner over Canada.
Argentina also reached the final
four, beating Mexico 105-77. The
Argentines' only loss in three prelim-
inary round games was 97-67 to the
U.S. team.
Their semifinal opponent will be
Australia, an 81-62 winner over New
Zealand. Australia, Brazil and New
Zealand all finished at 2-1, but Aus-
tralia and Brazil had better point
ratios.
In figure skating, world champion
Evgeni Plushenko of Russia skated a
technically advanced short program
and took the opening night lead.
American Michael Weiss stood
second, ahead of Alexei Yagudin, the
Russian three-time world champion,
who smashed hard into the boards
after he missed a combination.
In the pairs competition, world sil-
ver medalists Elena Berezhnaya and
Anton Sikharulidze finished the short
program ahead of another Russian
pair, Maria Petrova and Alexei
Tikhonov, and the Polish team of
Dorota Zagorska and Mariusz
Siudek.
Chambers ran 9.99 at last month's
world championships but placed
fifth. Greene won in 9.82 there, 0.03
ahead of Montgomery.
"I was dumbstruck that I was out
of the blocks first and then put away
everybody," Chambers said. "Beating
Ato Boldon and Tim Montgomery is
special. ... I never expected to win
today."
"It was very cold," said Mont-
gomery, who has run 9.84 this year.
"The times were terrible. The
stronger guys were better today. It
wasn't about speed, it was about
strength."

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A sports
memorabilia trader claims he spent
nearly $10,000 for two Tiger Woods
rookie cards that turned out to be
counterfeit.
In a lawsuit against a television-
based seller and a collectible vendor,
Sam DiGiralomo charged that the
cards, commemorating Woods' 1997
victory in the Masters, were not part
of limited-edition sets featuring a
card for each winner of the tourna-
ment.
Instead, the cards sold by Shop at
Home Inc. were cut from a 1999
poster that showed all the cards in the
sets, DiGiralomo claimed.
He accused Shop at Home, of Anti-
och, Tenn., and Goldin Sports, of
-West Berlin, N.J., a vendor of sports
collectibles, of plotting in August
2000 to cash in on the Woods rookie
card by selling a facsimile of the card,
which by then had reportedly fetched
as much as $20,000.
Also named in the lawsuit were
Kenneth Goldin, a principal of
Goldin Sports, and Donald West, an
on-air seller for Shop at Home.
Starting that summer, the bogus
cards were offered by Shop at Home
over cable television, with West on
camera and Goldin participating by
telephone, the lawsuit said.
In December, the cards were
offered for $4,995.95 each. Based on
statements that the cards were legiti-
mate, DiGiralomo bought two, his
lawsuit said.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified
money damages. It had been filed in
state Superior Court for Essex Coun-
ty in July and surfaced last month in
U.S. District Court when the defen-
dants sought to have it heard there.

new arena
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Former
National League president Len Cole-
man will head efforts by the Yan-
keeNets to bring a downtown arena to
Newark for the New Jersey Nets and
New Jersey Devils.
The hockey and basketball teams,
which now play at an arena at the
Meadowlands Sports Complex, are
part of the sports conglomerate that
includes the New York Yankees.
"I look forward to the challenge of
not only building an arena, but playing
a role in the social responsibilities that
come with a project such as this," said
Coleman, who will assume his duties
as chairman of Newark Sports &
Entertainment, a YankeeNets sub-
sidiary, on Sept. 17.
Coleman was the NL president
from 1994-99. He quit after major
league owners announced they intend-
ed to eliminate the league offices. He
has served as a senior adviser to base-
ball the past two years.
Coleman headed the state Depart-
