S B Golf • Redmond golfer dominates college tournament: Redmond’s Alex Fitch, a Linfield College senior, blistered Chehalem Glenn Golf Course in Newberg last weekend to win the George Fox Invitational. Fitch, a former Redmond High School golf standout, shot a 4-under 70-70—140 to outpace Linfield teammate and runner-up A.J. Taylor by nine strokes. Fitch’s performance led Linfield, an NCAA Division III school in McMinnville, to a 55-stroke win over George Fox in the three-team tournament.
Basketball • Staffs of NBA, union to meet today, according to source: Representatives for NBA owners and players will meet twice this week, perhaps only days before training camps would have to be postponed without a new labor deal. Staffs from both sides will meet today without leadership from either side, a person with knowledge of the plans said Tuesday. Commissioner David Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver, union executive director Billy Hunter, president Derek Fisher of the Lakers and other top negotiators would rejoin the talks for another meeting Thursday. • Two officers indicted in Maryland college student beating: Two police officers were indicted Tuesday in the beating of a University of Maryland student in Upper Marlboro, Md., during a rowdy celebration that was caught on video after the school’s basketball win over Duke last year, prosecutors said. Prince George’s County Officers Reginald Baker and James Harrison, both of the department’s special operations division, were indicted on charges of first- and second-degree assault and misconduct in office, said County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks.
Baseball • A’s manager Melvin getting three-year deal: Two people with knowledge of the negotiations say the Oakland Athletics have reached an agreement to name Bob Melvin their permanent manager with a new three-year contract. Melvin is expected to formally receive his new deal in the coming days, both people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Tuesday because there had been no announcement by the team. The 49year-old Melvin took over for the fired Bob Geren in June and had a 42-48 record heading into Tuesday night’s series opener with the AL West-leading Texas Rangers.
Boxing • Pascal may get rubber match with WBC champion Hopkins: Jean Pascal may get a third fight with WBC champion Bernard Hopkins after all. Promoter Yvon Michel said Tuesday that when a proposed bout with IBF champion Tavoris Cloud fell through, HBO told him Pascal would fight either Hopkins or Chad Dawson some time in 2012. Hopkins and Dawson are scheduled to fight on Oct. 15 in Los Angeles. Pascal, of Montreal, kept his title in a majority draw in his first meeting with Hopkins and lost the belt in the rematch.
Football • Ngata signs five-year, $61 million deal with Ravens: The Baltimore Ravens signed defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to a five-year, $61 million contract on Tuesday. His agent, Mike McCartney, said Ngata will get $40 million in the first two years of the deal. The All-Pro defensive tackle has 10 tackles, six solos, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Ngata was selected 12th overall by the Ravens in the 2006 draft. The former Oregon player has 12 career sacks, three interceptions, three forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. • Sugar Bowl made improper campaign donations: The Sugar Bowl acknowledged it made several campaign donations to then-Gov. Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana in the mid-2000s — in violation of federal tax law — and a group has filed a complaint about the matter with the IRS. Sugar Bowl spokesman John Sudsbury said Tuesday that bowl representatives mistakenly bought tickets for fundraising dinners for the Democratic governor in 2004 and 2006, totaling $3,000.
Soccer • Turkey bans men; 41,000 women attend soccer match: Turkey tried a new approach to curbing crowd violence at soccer games — kick out all the men, but let women and children attend for free. Under new rules approved by Turkey’s soccer association, only women and children under 12 will be admitted to games involving teams sanctioned for unruly fan behavior. On Tuesday, Fenerbahce handed out free tickets and more than 41,000 women and children attended the game against Manisaspor in Istanbul. Women formed long lines around Sukru Saracoglu stadium, some carrying babies in the team’s colors, for an opportunity to watch the club. — Staff and wire reports
