Woods Appears to Be Confident

But Is Searching for Consistency
By LARRY DORMAN
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — The an-
cient town that sits hard by the North
Sea has many moods, and some have
been on display for
the last three days.
A cold, gray mist
clung to the Old
Course like a shroud

forecasted storms or a precursor of the

Whither the weather goest, it will
surely change. But as the world’s best
golfers continued streaming into St. An-
drews for the start of the British Open
on Thursday, the one thing that has not
changed is a question: how will Tiger
Woods play at the one spot in the world
known as the home of golf and the cra-
dle of the game?
When he showed up on the first tee
just past noon Sunday, Woods seemed
almost exhilarated, hitting choked-
down drivers in the middle of the first
three fairways, watching in disbelief as
others sailed well wide of their target.
He carried the mood into his 6 a.m. ses-
sion Monday, skipping the 1st and 18th
holes but using all the rest to practice
the shots he will need this week at the
course he calls his “favorite in the
world.”
St. Andrews has embraced him, and
he has responded in kind, winning two
of his three British Open championships
here, the first in 2000 and the other —
which was his 10th major championship
— in 2005.
As Woods sets his sights on winning
an unprecedented third consecutive
Open at St. Andrews, those carefree
days are gone, though one would hardly
have known it by seeing the small
crowd gleefully traipsing after Woods,
who arrived unannounced both days at
the Old Course.

Collusion
By Big 3?
N.B.A. Says
Not Likely
By HOWARD BECK
LAS VEGAS — LeBron James,
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh became
Miami Heat teammates last week, turn-
ing a shared dream into reality and un-
leashing a torrent of suspicion: Had
they planned it all along? If so, was this
collusion? Tampering? Illegal?
The answer, as far as N.B.A. officials
are concerned, is probably not.
The subject was discussed broadly at
the owners meeting here on Monday,
and there was some sentiment for revis-
iting the rules governing player-to-play-
er tampering. But no team has filed a
tampering complaint, nor does the
league expect one.
“What we told the owners was that
the three players are totally, as our sys-
tem has evolved, within their rights to
talk to each other,” Commissioner David
Stern said after the meeting, which was
held here in conjunction with the N.B.A.
summer league.
Players on different teams who dis-
cuss the idea of someday playing to-
gether “is not tampering or collusion
that is prohibited,” Stern said.
Although the league could investigate
without a formal complaint, Stern said,
“There’s nothing here at this time that
is causing us to lodge an investigation.”
He dismissed news reports that implied

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Phil Hughes was
about 10 when home runs started soaring
out of major league parks with suspicious
frequency. As a teenager, he would ride his
bike 25 minutes to Angel Stadium, watch
from the upper deck and root for the long
ball. At Foothill High School in Santa Ana,
though, he was more suited to pitch.
“I couldn’t hit,” Hughes said Monday
on the eve of his first All-Star Game. “I
took whatever route I could to get me here.
But yeah, growing up, I loved seeing home
runs. I’m sure it’s no different for the fans
now. It’s one of those things, though. I
think fans got to see their fair share of
ANDY KING/
ASSOCIATED home runs earlier, and now pitching’s be-
PRESS
come the new trend.”
Hughes, the Yankees’ 24-year-old
right-hander, is part of a bumper crop of
talented pitchers who are tilting the game
in their favor, despite coming of age when
sluggers ruled the game. Colorado’s Ubal-
do Jimenez, 26, will start for the National
League on Tuesday night against Tampa
Bay’s David Price, a 24-year-old in his first
full season.
The N.L. in particular has young pitch-
ing talent to spare. Several starters young-
er than 25 with extraordinary numbers —
Jaime Garcia, Clayton Kershaw, Mat Latos
and Stephen Strasburg — did not even
make the team. With others like Josh John-
son, 26; Tim Lincecum, 26; and Adam
Wainwright, 29; along with the over-30 for-
mer Cy Young winners Chris Carpenter
and Roy Halladay, All-Star spots were pre-

James, who became a superstar with
the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Wade, the
longtime star of the Miami Heat, were
the headliners of this year’s celebrated
free-agent class. Bosh, their close
friend, was at the top of the next tier.
When the market opened on July 1,
there was little reason to believe that
they would end up as teammates.
The N.B.A.’s salary cap makes such a
combination nearly impossible. But the
Heat worked feverishly to clear cap
room, and all three stars committed to
take less money to make it work.
Wade and Bosh jointly announced
their commitment to Miami last
Wednesday. Just 12 hours later, News-
day reported that James planned to fol-
low suit, which he did the next night, on
an ESPN special titled, “The Decision.”
Stern energetically defended James’s
right to choose his own team. But he
joined the cacophony of voices criticiz-
ing James for the way he handled it —
with a self-important television show.
James failed to tell the Cavaliers of his
decision before the broadcast.
“I think that the advice that he re-

MATTHEW CAVANAUGH FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
Fans at major league stadiums are expected to eat
26.3 million hot dogs and sausages this season.
By KEN BELSON
BOSTON — The Fenway Frank. The Dodger
Dog. The Cincinnati Cheese Coney. They are, for
better or worse, the gastronomic benchmarks at
baseball stadiums across the country, and as much
a gustatory ritual as beer, peanuts and Cracker
Jack.
The humble hot dog and its culinary cousin the
sausage have also managed to withstand the on-
slaught from food courts, luxury suites and ex-
panded, health-conscious menus that fill the nearly
two dozen ballparks built since 1990.
“It seems like no matter what they add, the No.
1-selling item remains the hot dog,” said Chris Bige-
low, a consultant to stadium concessionaires. “It
must be a Pavlovian response: you come to a ball-
park, you have to have a hot dog. It’s true in the
suites, too, despite all that catering.”
Fans are expected to gobble 26.3 million hot
dogs and sausages at major league parks this sea-
son, according to estimates by the National Hot Dog
and Sausage Council. In many parks, hot dogs make
up roughly 10 percent of food and beverage sales,
and they are also a fan favorite in Japan and other
baseball-loving countries.
Hot dog and sausage consumption around the
majors has remained remarkably steady during the
last decade or so, even as teams have turned their
stadiums into designer dining destinations, with
steakhouses, themed restaurants, brew pubs and
waiter service. They have also withstood a public
health campaign in New York that requires that cal-
orie counts be posted on menus, including many of

those at Citi Field and Yankee Stadium, where hot
dogs remain top sellers.
Given the more elaborate dining options at Champions Show Off
these and other new ballparks, hot dogs may even Spoils of Victory
end up being a default for diet-conscious fans.

Haslem Takes Less Money to Stay With the Heat
By The Associated Press
Add Udonis Haslem to the list of
players taking less money to play
for the Miami Heat next season.
Haslem, a power forward, signed
a five-year deal worth about $20
million, roughly $14 million less than
he could have received if he ac-
cepted more lucrative offers from
Dallas and Denver.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade
and Chris Bosh took less money in
their Heat deals last week to allow
Miami the flexibility to sign certain
players, and Haslem — Wade’s
teammate for all seven of their pro-
fessional seasons — was at the top
of their collective wish list. Another
factor for Haslem was swingman
Mike Miller’s decision to join the
Heat — something the team still has
not announced. Miller and Haslem

ida Gators as well.

health policy at New York Universi-
ty, who conducted a study that
showed that posting calorie counts
in restaurants did little to change
consumer eating habits. The intro-
duction of veggie dogs, with one-
third the calories and almost no fat,
have failed to unseat the all-beef or
beef-pork frank.
There is no shortage of theories
on why the hot dog remains the top-
selling food item at ballparks, and
books and scholarly articles have
even been written on the topic. Hot
dogs can be boiled, steamed, grilled
or barbecued, and filled with beef,
pork, turkey and a variety of spices.
They can be tailored to suit one’s
taste with mustard, relish, onions,
sauerkraut and any number of other
toppings.
The all-American hot dog is also
relatively cheap, can be eaten while
watching the game and requires
only one hand (leaving the other
one free to hold a beer or a cell-
phone, or to catch a foul ball). For
most fans, they are also often the
only prepared food served at their
seats.
Hot dogs are also among the most
profitable foods served at ballparks.
They are precooked and need only
to be steamed or caramelized, keep-
ing the preparation time brief and
the turnover high. They take up half
as much space as a hamburger on a
grill and require less ventilation
when cooking. Fans apply their own
New Holdup in Pending Rangers Sale
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
The pending sale of the Texas
Rangers, already a tortuous tale,
added a strange chapter Monday
when the group seeking to ac-
quire the team sought an injunc-
tion against the team to prevent
it from soliciting higher bids.
One of the group’s members is
Nolan Ryan, the Rangers’ presi-
dent and a Hall of Fame pitcher.
In their filing in bankruptcy
court in Fort Worth, Ryan and
his partner, Chuck Greenberg, a
sports lawyer, contend that the
team has breached their agree-
ment to buy the Rangers by
speaking to other bidders who
may pay more money. More im-
portant, they want to head off a
court-ordered auction.
A hearing will be held Tuesday
by D. Michael Lynn, the bank-
ruptcy court judge overseeing
the case.

World Cup Final Sets Record
Spain’s 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the
World Cup final Sunday was seen by an average
of 15.5 million viewers on ABC, the most in the
United States for a men’s final, and 8.8 million on
Univision, a record for a Spanish-language net-
work in the United States, according to the Niel-
sen Company.
The combined 24.3 million viewers made it the
most-watched soccer game in the United States,
exceeding by nearly five million the total on ABC
and Univision for the United States-Ghana game
June 26. ABC’s record for a soccer game was 17.9
million viewers for the 1999 women’s World Cup
final won by the United States. An average of 3.26
million viewers a game watched the World Cup

N.B.A. ROUNDUP
“This is a combination of having a
great opportunity to win, which is
why we play this game, and an op-
portunity to still stay close to my

Haslem, whose mother has been ill.
“And also, the opportunity to be a

guard Derek Fisher said that he
would re-sign with the Los Angeles
Lakers, sticking with Kobe Bryant
and the defending two-time N.B.A.

eral teams, including the Heat, as a
free agent.
Fisher, a five-time N.B.A. cham-
pion, said he considered contract of-
fers from several teams. He spoke

prospect of running an offense for

“We believe in hot dogs, they’re
our bread and butter,” said Rick
Abramson, the president of sport
service at the Delaware North Com-
panies, which handles the conces-
sions at nine major league ball-
parks.
Hot dogs and baseball have a long
history, though the details of their
relationship are as murky as the hot
water that dirty dogs are cooked in.
Harry M. Stevens, a vendor at the
old Polo Grounds in New York, is
widely credited with marrying the
dog, the bun and baseball when, in
1901, he started serving “dachshund
sausages” on rolls.
Thomas Aloysius Dorgan, a car-
toonist, was supposedly at the game
and could not spell dachshund, so
the court from reopening the bid-
ding is that its financing commit-
ments from investors and Bank
of America expire Aug. 12. Angry
team creditors think other bid-
ders would offer more in an auc-
tion.
Last week, the Ryan-Green-
berg group agreed to procedures
that would reopen the bidding
under the belief that it would
serve as the stalking-horse bid-
der, a maneuver to keep the
bankrupt company from having
to accept a lower offer than it
thinks it deserves. Tom Hicks,
who owns the Rangers through
his holding company, defaulted
on $525 million in loans last year
and voluntarily put the Rangers
into bankruptcy in May.
Ryan and Greenberg are upset
that the court-authorized chief
restructuring officer, William K.
Snyder, withdrew his initial sup-
port for the bidding plan, saying
that he will recommend a differ-
ent process.

ers later found that Dorgan was not

covered references in The Yale

“contentedly munched on hot dogs.”
Babe Ruth’s hot-dog-eating
binges were so extreme, they side-
lined him from games.
“The traditional American hot
dog has not taken a back seat to de-
signer food,” said Becky Mercuri,
who wrote “The Great American
Hot Dog Book.” “They’ve intro-
duced everything from salad to
sushi, but frankly speaking, the hot
dog is still king.”
The oldest parks happen to sell
the most dogs per fan. Red Sox fans
down about 2 million hot dogs and
sausages a year, or 0.64 dogs per
fan. Adjusted for attendance, Chi-
cago Cubs fans are the second-big-
gest hot dog and sausage eaters,
with 0.57 dogs and sausages per fan,
followed by San Diego Padres fans,
Mets fans and Minnesota Twins
fans.
Miller Park in Milwaukee is the
only park where sausages outsell
hot dogs. Tube steaks are so pop-
ular there that the Brewers hold a
race every game among mascots
dressed up as a bratwurst, a Polish
sausage, an Italian sausage, a hot
dog and a chorizo. (So far this year,
the Polish sausage has won the
most races.)
In Boston, Rich Roper is in charge
of making sure there are enough
Fenway Franks to satisfy the Fen-
way faithful. As the chief of conces-
sions for Aramark, he estimates
how many hot dogs need to be
cooked and when. Often, the busiest
time is from a half-hour before the
game until the third inning, by
which time fans start searching for
dessert. In New England, fans like
hot dogs steamed or grilled, and
served on a split bun with the edges
shaved off. Mustard, relish and
diced onions are the favored top-
pings.

clude the last four at-large qualifiers. Including
the lowest at-large teams will probably prevent
midmajors from being over-represented in the
first round, but it could also mean that two teams
from bigger conferences will be out before the
