year.”
Garret is a pyrotechnic
director for Pyro Shows, a
LaFollette, Tennessee-based
company that stages hun-
dreds of fireworks shows
each year.
“I really enjoy this,” Gar-

chomping down
31 hot dogs
By ALI SWENSON
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Joey
“Jaws” Chestnut ate 71 wie-
ners and buns to secure
his 12th title at Nathan’s
Famous annual July Fourth
hot dog eating contest on
Thursday, just a few hot
dogs shy of breaking the
record he set last year.
In front of a crowd of fans
and facing 17 opponents,
the California native far ex-
ceeded his nearest compet-
itors, but didn’t quite make
or pass the 74-dog mark he
reached in 2018.
When asked how he felt
after the contest, Chestnut,
35, said, “I feel like I should
eat a couple more.
“I knew it was going to
be close. I was trying hard
and I was overstuffing my
mouth and it wasn’t going
down,” he said. “I just need-
ed to find a way to move a
little bit faster. I think it’s
getting harder the older I
get.”
Miki Sudo won the wom-
en’s competition by chomp-
ing down 31 hot dogs.
The 33-year-old fell
down 26 hot dogs.
Like Chestnut, she ex-
pressed some disappoint-
ment in not eating more.
“It wasn’t my best num-
ber, the numbers were
pretty low across the board.
I don’t know if it was the
heat, but I really can’t com-
plain. I wasn’t feeling in my
best shape so I’m just glad
that it was enough to pull
off a sixth belt,” she said.
Sonya “The Black Wid-
ow” Thomas holds the all-
time women’s record of 45
hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Chestnut and Sudo will
each take home $10,000.
Spectators with foam hot
dog hats, plastic noisemak-
ers and homemade signs
descended on Coney Is-
land’s famed boardwalk for
the contest.
The annual eat-off start-
ed in 1972, though the com-
pany has long promoted
the event with a theatrical
backstory that places its
start date in 1916.
Chestnut has only lost
once since 2007, when he
pulled ahead of longtime
foe Takeru Kobayashi for
the first time. An ESPN
documentary released
Tuesday features the two
former rivals and their ex-
treme training regimens.
is ‘the greatest political journey’
Trump became the first president in nearly seven
decades to address a crowd at the National Mall
on the Fourth of July
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, CALVIN
WOODWARD and LYNN BERRY
The Associated Press
WA S H I N G T O N
— President Donald
Trump celebrated
the story of Ameri-
ca as “the greatest
political journey in
human history” in a
Fourth of July com-
memoration before Trump
a soggy but cheer-
ing crowd of spectators, many of
them invited, on the grounds of the
Lincoln Memorial. Supporters wel-
comed his tribute to the U.S. mili-
tary while protesters assailed him
for putting himself center stage on
a holiday devoted to unity.
As rain fell on him, Trump called
on Americans to “stay true to our
cause” during a program that ad-
hered to patriotic themes and
hailed an eclectic mix of history’s
heroes, from the armed forces,
space, civil rights and other endeav-
ors of American life.
He largely stuck to his script,
avoiding diversions into his agenda
or reelection campaign. But in one
exception, he vowed, “Very soon,
we will plant the American flag on
Mars,” actually a distant goal not
likely to be achieved until late in the
2020s if even then.
A late afternoon downpour
drenched the capital’s Indepen-
dence Day crowds, and Trump’s
speech unfolded in occasional rain.
The warplanes and presidential air-
craft he had summoned conducted
their flyovers as planned, capped
by the Navy Blue Angels aerobatics
team.
By adding his own one-hour
“Salute to America” production to
capital festivities that typically draw
hundreds of thousands of people
anyway, Trump became the first
president in nearly seven decades
to address a crowd at the National
Mall on the Fourth of July.
Protesters objecting to what
they saw as his co-opting of the
holiday inflated a roly-poly balloon
depicting Trump as an angry, dia-
per-clad baby.
Trump set aside a historic piece
of real estate — a stretch of the Mall
from the Lincoln Monument to the
midpoint of the reflecting pool —
for a mix of invited military mem-
bers, Republican and Trump cam-
paign donors and other bigwigs.
It’s where Martin Luther King Jr.
gave his “I have a dream” speech,
Barack Obama and Trump held
inaugural concerts and protesters
swarmed into the water when sup-
porters of Richard Nixon put on a
July 4, 1970, celebration, with the
president sending taped remarks
from California.
Aides to the crowd-obsessed
Trump fretted about the prospect
of empty seats at his event, said a
person familiar with the planning
who was not authorized to be iden-
tified. Aides scrambled in recent
days to distribute tickets and mo-
bilize the Trump and Republican
social media accounts to encourage
participation for an event hastily
arranged and surrounded with con-
fusion.
Back at the White House, Trump
tweeted an aerial photo showing an
audience that filled both sides of
the memorial’s reflecting pool and
stretched to the Washington Mon-
ument.
“A great crowd of tremendous
Patriots this evening, all the way
back to the Washington Monu-
ment!” he said.

National military park in Bond denied for man

Mississippi gains another section
800-acre Champion Hill battlefield is the largest single
expansion in Vicksburg National Military Park’s history
The Associated Press
EDWARDS — Anoth-
er Civil War site is being
added to the Vicksburg
National Military Park,
one of Mississippi’s top
tourist attractions.
The 800-acre Champi-
on Hill battlefield is the
largest single expansion
in the park’s history. The
state donated the land
during a ceremony Tues-
day.
Robert Vogel, south-
eastern regional direc-
tor for the National Park
Service, said the acquisi-
tion of the Champion Hill
property is the next step
in realizing the 1899 legis-
lative mandate for the mil-
itary park to “commemo-
rate the entire Vicksburg
Campaign on the ground
where the battles were
fought.”
Sites in Raymond and
Port Gibson also will be
added later, he said.
In May 1863, about
32,000 advancing Union
soldiers and 23,000 Con-
federate soldiers fought at
Champion Hill, about half-
way between Vicksburg
and Jackson. Confederate
forces were crushed and
forced to retreat, which
led to the siege of Vicks-
burg.
During the battle, the
Champion family planta-
tion house was used as
Union Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant’s headquarters and
a field hospital. Vicksburg
fell in July 1863 and the
Union gained control of
the Mississippi River. The
Champion house later
burned.
In 1897, Matilda Cham-
pion donated the property
to the African American
community, and Champi-
on Hill Missionary Bap-
tist Church was built the
same year, the Vicksburg
Post reported.
Vicksburg National
Park Superintendent Bill
Justice welcomed guests
to the church grounds
during Tuesday’s cere-
mony, the Clarion Ledger
reported.
“It’s appropriate we
have this on the site of the
battle of Champion Hill,
which is also a church,
because so many men
fought here and many
died, right here, to create
the future of our country,”
Justice said.
Jim Woodrick, dep-
uty state historic pres-
ervation officer for the

said the 800 acres was ac-
quired through the state’s

Port has fewer maritime jobs after expansion; agency says OK

MDA pledged to create 1,300 full-time maritime jobs at
the Port of Gulfport in exchange for money HUD provided
for economic development after Hurricane Katrina
The Associated Press
GULFPORT — A Mis-
sissippi Gulf Coast port
has fewer maritime jobs
now than it did before a
$570 million restoration
and expansion project
funded by a federal grant.
But the U.S. Depart-
ment of Housing and Ur-
ban Development says
the state is complying
with job-creation require-
ments. The Sun Herald
reports Republican Gov.
Phil Bryant is calling the
project a success.
Mississippi Develop-
ment Authority pledged
to create 1,300 full-time
maritime jobs at the Port
of Gulfport in exchange
for money HUD provided
for economic development
after Hurricane Katrina,
which struck in 2005 and
damaged the port.
HUD had long ques-
tioned whether the port
was meeting job goals,
but said in a June 25 letter
to MDA Executive Direc-
tor Glenn McCullough
that the concerns have
been satisfied.
“I am very pleased that
HUD has reached this
conclusion after a thor-
ough compliance review,”
Bryant said in a news
release Friday. “This is
an important milestone
that shows the econom-
ic strength of the Port of
Gulfport restoration proj-
ect.”
A HUD report attached
to the letter shows how
the port satisfied HUD’s
critical finding on jobs, is-
sued in 2013.

HUD estimates 94 per-

hotel jobs pay low to mod-
erate wages.
The number of high-
er-paying maritime jobs
the port created totals
only 262, which adds up
to a project cost of almost
$2.2 million per job.
Counting jobs that
existed before the con-
struction project started
in 2008, the port has a
net loss of maritime jobs.
The port said at the end of
March that it had retained

jobs counted in 2007.

Reader takes issue with printed flag
Why do you continue to print the U.S. flag in
your paper every 4th of July when so many peo-
ple have reminded you of how this goes-against
the respect and etiquette for our flag?
The flag should never be printed on paper
that will be discarded and hundreds of these
paper flags are going to end-up in dumpsters
this weekend. I find it also embarrassing that
so many local military families will see this
blatant disrespect for something that they and
so many of us hold dear.
Bob Raymond

Publisher’s response: The Federal Flag Code

defines how to display an actual flag but does
not prohibit publishing the likeness of a flag. We
regret Mr. Raymond’s embarrassment, but we
also hear from readers who proudly hang the
printed flags on their wall, updating them with
each year’s reprinting.

Today in History Out in the open

Today is Friday, July 5, the 186th day of 2019.
There are 179 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 5, 1954, Elvis Presley’s first commer-
cial recording session took place at Sun Records
in Memphis, Tennessee; the song he recorded
was “That’s All Right.”
On this date:
In 1811, Venezuela became the first South
American country to declare independence
from Spain.
In 1865, the Secret Service Division of the
U.S. Treasury Department was founded in
Washington, D.C., with the mission of suppress-
ing counterfeit currency.
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
signed the National Labor Relations Act.
In 1946, the bikini, created by Louis Reard,
was modeled by Micheline Bernardini during a
poolside fashion show in Paris.
In 1947, Larry Doby made his debut with
the Cleveland Indians, becoming the first black
player in the American League three months
after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in
the National League. In the game against the
Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park, Doby,
pinch-hitting for Bryan Stephens, struck out in
his first at-bat during the seventh inning; Chica-
go won 6-5.
In 1971, President Richard Nixon certified
the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,
which lowered the minimum voting age from 21
to 18.
In 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first black
man to win a Wimbledon singles title as he
defeated Jimmy Connors, 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4.
In 1977, Pakistan’s army, led by General
Mohammad Zia ul-Haq, seized power from Pres-
ident Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (Bhutto was executed
in 1979).
In 1989, “The Seinfeld Chronicles,” the pilot
to the situation comedy “Seinfeld,” aired on
NBC-TV.
In 1991, a worldwide financial scandal erupt-
ed as regulators in eight countries shut down
the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
Our lesbian soccer players make us proud
Five members of
the U.S. women’s soccer
team — plus its coach —
have publicly come out
as lesbians. The fabulous
Megan Rapinoe is the
most out there. With her
chiseled features and
chiseled short haircut,
she could pass for the
Greek god Mercury.
(She needs a helmet
with wings.) Froma Harrop
Americans can be
proud on two accounts. One is the
team’s stunning performance in
the World Cup. The other is that
our lesbian soccer players feel free
to totally own their sexual identity,
and most Americans are totally cool Trump refrained from smearing
with it.
France is a generally enlight-
ened country, but it can be quite
tough on its gay athletes. Marinette togenic.
Pichon is the only member of the
French team to publicly identify
as gay. Other French players are
afraid to. A few years ago, the
French soccer federation marketed
the female team through images
of high heels, glitter and the color
pink. Can you imagine?
Sports have long served as a safe attacks via social media. Rapinoe’s
refuge for lesbians. It’s an activ-
ity that rewards aggression and
requires muscles.
There remains plenty of bias
against homosexuals in America,
but compared with most other
countries, this is the land of gay
freedom. So secure are lesbians
in U.S. soccer that Rapinoe can
humorously proclaim, “Go gays!”
She goes on: “You
can’t win a champion-
ship without gays on
your team. It’s never
been done before. That’s
science right there.”
Asked whether she
would attend a reception
with Donald Trump
at the White House,
Rapinoe responded, “I’m
not going to the f---ing
White House.” She later
apologized for using the
expletive, not for refusing a would-
be invitation. That was a class
move. Besides, she has sponsors to
consider.
But note that even Donald
Rapinoe over her sexual identity
when he hit back. The women
players were too beloved, too pho-
“Teams love coming to the
White House,” Trump tweeted.
“I am a big fan of the American
Team, and Women’s Soccer, but
Megan should WIN first before she
TALKS!” He left it at that.
Of course, even a partly negative
tweet by Trump can unleash vile
girlfriend, WNBA star Sue Bird,
said that Rapinoe was “unfazed” by
the nastiness.
Same-sex relationships have
become so commonplace in Amer-
ican life that the media interview
lesbian mates as they would hetero
spouses. There was that unforgetta-
ble picture of the U.S. team’s Abby
Wambach kissing her wife after
winning the 2015 World Cup Cham-
pionship. We forget how shocking
these images are to many in even
developed countries.
Rapinoe ruffled more feathers
when she refused to sing “The
Star-Spangled Banner” along with
her other teammates before the
World Cup games. She said she
was protesting racial injustice back
home. I would have preferred that
she just sing along and then play
the game.
Rapinoe’s teammates and coach,
Jill Ellis, backed her in the tiff with
Trump. Their solidarity is touching,
and the world didn’t come to an
end. But somehow Americans seem
to be the only people to wave dirty
laundry at international sporting
events. Many of the other countries
are less perfect than we are.
This national anthem singing
before sports events — especially
international events — is designed
to showcase love of country.
American hearts have tied the U.S.
Women’s World Cup team’s stellar
performance to the patriotic cele-
brations of Independence Day. Why
muddy it?
But let’s not end on a sour note.
Rapinoe and her team are model
Americans for their intelligence,
talent, solidarity and generosity
toward their competitors. That
Americans of diverse backgrounds
herald these outspoken lesbians is
a tribute to Americans.

Family of deadly Vegas shooting
victim sues gun makers
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The
parents of a young wom-
an killed in the 2017 Las
Vegas massacre said
Wednesday they blame
gun manufacturers for
their daughter’s death.
“Someone murdered
our daughter,” said James
Parsons, whose 31-year-
old daughter Carrie Par-
sons was one of 58 people
killed when a gunman
rained down gunfire from
a high-rise hotel. “
A wrongful death law-
suit filed Tuesday targets
Colt and seven other gun
manufacturers, along with
gun shops in Nevada and
Utah, arguing their weap-
ons are designed to be
easily modified to fire like
automatic weapons.
“It was a horrifying, ag-
onizing experience and we
don’t want this to happen
to other families,” Parsons

Chief Edward Gallagher,
40, was also handed the
maximum penalty for the
offense of four months
in confinement, though
he will serve no jail time
because it is less than the
time he spent in custody
before the trial.
After the court an-
nounced the sentence
includes a reduction in
rank, Gallagher turned to
his wife, shook his head
and pretended to unpin
his “anchors” — the insig-
nia of a chief — and fling
shooting in modern U.S.
history.
The lawsuit is the latest
case to challenge a federal
law shielding gun manu-
facturers from liability. It
charges that gun makers
marketed the ability of the
AR-15-style weapons to be
easily modified to mimic
machine guns and fire con-
tinuously, violating both
a state and federal ban on
automatic weapons.
A firearms industry
group said Wednesday the
man who opened fire on a
country music concert is
the only one responsible
for the deaths.
Parsons and his wife
Ann-Marie argue in the
lawsuit that the firearms
are “thinly disguised” ma-
chine guns that the man-
ufacturers knew could
be easily modified, even
without the use of a “bump
stock,” an attachment used
by the Las Vegas gunman
that allowed him to fire in
rapid succession.

Jackson, Carter lead USA to 93-85 victory vs. Chinese Taipei
Duo combines for 61 points, 29 rebounds
From special reports
NAPLES, Italy – With a combined 61
points and 29 rebounds, the duo of Jes-
sika Carter and Rickea Jackson was un-
stoppable as the U.S. defeated Chinese
Taipei, 93-85, on Thursday, to remain
perfect in pool play at the World Univer-
sity Games.
“Chinese Taipei is so good and well
coached,” said head coach
Vic Schaefer. “Their
toughness really stood
out to me yesterday when
I was scouting them. They
have a competitive spirit
and are physical. To see
our kids compete in battle
today, we grew up a little Carter
bit. We showed maturity.
I’m extremely proud of our kids. Jessi-
ka was so good today. Rickea was really
special offensively. They couldn’t guard
her. Jazzmun Holmes ran our team to
perfection just like she has her whole
career. I’m proud of our kids, but it’s just
one game. We have a chance to go win
our pool tomorrow against a really good
Slovakia team.”
Jackson led all scorers with 33 points
on 16-of-25 shooting to go along with
seven rebounds and four steals. Carter
dominated the paint all game long, fin-
ishing with 28 points and 22 rebounds.

Swanson, Albies helps Braves rally to beat Phillies 12-6
By CHARLES ODUM
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Home runs have cre-
ated separation between two contend-
ers in the NL East.
The Braves keep hitting homers
and stretching their division lead. The
Phillies keep giving up long balls —
and this time it cost them a spot in the
standings.
Dansby Swanson hit two homers
and drove in five runs, and Atlanta
rallied from a first-inning, four-run
deficit to beat Philadelphia 12-6 on
Thursday night.
Ozzie Albies gave Atlanta the lead
with a three-run homer in the third.
The Braves hit five homers overall,
giving them a combined eight in win-
ning the final two games of the three-
game series.
Swanson said the early 4-0 deficit
meant “nothing.”
“It doesn’t change anything,”
Swanson said. “It’s not how we look at
the game. We just continue to go out
and play our game.”
The Phillies, who finished May
with a three-game lead in the NL East,
dropped to third place in the division,
behind Atlanta and Washington.
“We don’t have our heads down or
anything,” said Zach Eflin, who lasted
only three innings, giving up seven
runs, six earned. “We know how good
we can be.”
The Phillies scored four runs on
The two players scored 30 of USA
Team’s 47 points in the second half and
were a big reason why the Red, White
and Blue held a 66-40 edge in the paint
for the game.
The U.S. knew that one of the keys to
winning would be crashing the boards,
and it succeeded in that area, out-re-
bounding Chinese Taipei 50-29 on the
glass. While the Red, White and Blue
shot 51 percent from the field for the
game, it was the second-chance oppor-
tunities from an incredible 25 offensive
rebounds that made the difference in the
outcome.
Holmes and Xaria Wiggins recod-
ed 10 points each to round out the dou-
ble-digit scorers for the squad. Holmes
also had eight assists and was crucial in
the offense’s success during the second
half, while Wiggins just missed a dou-
ble-double with nine rebounds.
Chinese Taipei gained the early edge
in the first quarter, using an 8-0 run to
take a 22-14 lead at the break.
Carter got things started on the offen-
sive end of the floor for the Red, White
and Blue in the second period. The soph-
omore center went 6-for-7 from the floor
and dropped 14 points, helping USA cut
it to a one-point deficit at halftime, 47-46.
Jackson added nine points in the frame.
For the half, the U.S. found success in
the paint with 38-28 edge.

QUITMAN — Officials say a wreck in
eastern Mississippi has killed one com-

two others.
WTOK-TV reports that 20-year-old
Zquavius Crain of Gulfport was fatally
injured when the vehicle he was driving

A statement from East Mississippi
Community College says Crain was a
rising freshman on the school’s football
team. The statement says two other play-
ers, Jeremiah Braziel and Keon Moore,
were badly injured in the crash.
A statement released Thursday by the
college’s head football coach, Buddy Ste-
phens, asks for prayers for all three fam-
ilies.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol says a

Baseball
Cubs erupt after Maddon’s
ejection to rip Pirates 11-3
By WILL GRAVES
The Associated Press
PIT TSBURGH — Joe Maddon
isn’t against pitching inside. It’s
when the ball starts buzzing bat-
ter’s heads that the Chicago Cubs
manager thinks the increasingly
thin line between aggressive and
dangerous can get a little too blurry.
On Thursday, Maddon thought
Pittsburgh starter Jordan Lyles
crossed it. So Maddon stormed onto
the field after All-Star shortstop
Javy Báez twice had to lean out of
the way of inside pitches during his
fourth-inning at-bat against Lyles.
Maddon walked toward the
Pittsburgh dugout before being re-
strained by plate umpire Joe West
and Chicago star Kris Bryant, at
one point unleashing a pretty spry
spin move for a 65-year-old former
high school football player in an ef-
fort to get away.
While the outburst earned
Maddon his second ejection of the
season, it also provided a spark in
what became an 11-3 victory that
snapped a four-game losing streak.
“Pent up frustration is one thing,
but when guys keep throwing at
their head, that’s another thing,
too,” Maddon said.
Lyles (5-5) didn’t hit a batter
during his four-plus innings of
work. Reliever Clay Holmes did,
drilling third baseman David Bote
in the head with the bases loaded
in the fifth. Bote remained in the
game after being checked out by
the training staff and insisted he
was fine.
Maybe, but Maddon is just about
over watching his players bailing
out to get out of the way of a Pirate’s
wayward pitch. Pittsburgh began
the day having hit 39 batters on the
season, seventh-highest in the ma-
jors. The Cubs have hit 31 batters
so far.
“When you can’t command the
ball in, which was evidenced by Da-
vid getting hit in the head (it’s out
of hand),” Maddon said. “I’m just
saying, they continue along that
tack, they got a nice bunch of play-
ers right there. They’re not going to
Braves

Kapler. “We’ve got to do a better job
than this and the first thing we’ve
got to get a handle on is keeping the
ball in the ballpark.”
Swanson started the comeback
with a homer to center with one
out in the first , and Nick Markakis
added a run-scoring double. Swan-
son’s double in the second drove in
Ronald Acuña Jr. for the tying run
before Albies’ go-ahead, three-run
shot in the third.
Freddie Freeman and Josh Don-
aldson hit back-to-back homers off
Édgar García in the fourth, giving
Atlanta a 9-4 lead. After Philadel-
phia cut Atlanta’s lead to 9-6, Swan-
son hit a three-run homer off Austin
Davis in the eighth. Davis was re-
called from Triple-A Lehigh Valley
earlier in the day.
Philadelphia’s Sean Rodríguez
hit a pinch-hit homer off Grant Day-
ton in the sixth.
Soroka, 21, was pulled one out
before he could qualify for his 10th
win. The rookie allowed four runs
and nine hits with two walks in 4
2/3 innings. He will take a 2.41
ERA into the All-Star Game.
A.J. Minter (3-4) pitched a per-

“We made the deci-
sion at halftime to stop
pressing,” said Schae-
fer. “We were giving up
too many layups, and we
wanted to turn them into
a jump-shooting team. I
think we did a good job.
They made a few, but I
felt like that was what we
needed to do. I thought
that really helped us in the
second half. I just think
that the fourth quarter is
always Mississippi State’s.
We are in better shape,
and we are tougher. We
are just mentally tougher.”
Next up, the U.S. will
take the hardwood against
Slovakia at 10:30 a.m. CT
on July 5 for a chance to
clinch Pool C. After that,
the squad will move on to
the bracket stages to play
three more games in order
to determine its placing.
Those contests will be on

like it.”
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hur-
dle pointed out Lyles has hit just
one batter all year.
“Nobody likes the ball up and
in, so I can understand there is
some angst involved,” Hurdle said.
“There’s always going to be angst
involved in the game of baseball, a
manager is always going to try to
protect his team and share his feel-
ings.”
Lyles shook off the criticism,
pointing out going inside is part of
his typical gameplan.
“I throw a lot of heaters up at hit-
ters’ hands,” Lyles said. “And then
I think it was the foul ball which
created Joe to come out. But other
than that, Báez said he was good.
Everything was fine. Maybe he was
trying to get the boys to get a little
light up in them.”
Maddon’s theatrics came with
the Cubs nursing a slim one-run
lead. An inning after Maddon head-
ed to the clubhouse — where the
manager said he enjoyed a nice
glass of red wine — Chicago broke
it open during a five-run fifth that
included a two-run single by Báez.
Bryant tied a season high with
four hits, including a first-inning
home run to the seats in right-cen-
ter off Lyles.
Bryant had no issue with Mad-
don briefly losing his cool.
“It’s kind of like, all right, if you
want to pitch up, just pitch up,” Bry-
ant said. “Don’t go in. We shouldn’t
be getting hit on the head. I don’t
think it was on purpose or anything
like that, but it’s just frustrating
when balls keep coming right in
front of your face.”
Robel Garcia finished a double
short of the cycle in his first major
league start. Willson Contreras
drove in three runs for the Cubs,
who moved back into a tie with Mil-
waukee for first place in the crowd-
ed NL Central, where all five teams
are separated by 3 1/2 games.
José Quintana (6-7) allowed
three runs and six hits in seven in-
nings to win consecutive starts for
the first time since April.
Kevin Newman had two hits and
fect seventh to earn the victory.
Trainer’s room
Phillies: RHP Juan Nicasio was
placed on the 10-day injured list
with a strained left groin. The in-
jury was announced after Nicasio
gave up three runs while recording
only one out in Wednesday night’s
9-2 loss. Kapler said the strain
is “pretty mild.” ... Kapler said
Wednesday’s exam on RHP Ser-
anthony Domínguez (right elbow)
“went really well.”
Be back soon
Because the Braves won’t need a
fifth starter until after the All-Star
break, RHP Bryse Wilson was op-
tioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. Wil-
son, who allowed two runs in six
innings in Wednesday night’s win,
is scheduled to be recalled to face
Milwaukee on July 16. Dayton was
recalled from Gwinnett.
Long ball
The Braves’ 140 homers are tied
for the franchise record before the
All-Star Game. The 2003 Braves
All-Star Josh Bell boosted his RBI
total to a major league-leading 81
with a sacrifice fly, but the Pirates
couldn’t pull off a four-game home
sweep of the Cubs. Lyles surren-
dered a season-high seven runs
and 10 hits, eight of them for extra
bases, as Pittsburgh missed out on
a chance to get back to .500 for the
first time since May 31.
The Cubs have been in a week-
slong funk and fell to 8-15 in their
last 23 games after a 6-5 loss
Wednesday night in which the Pi-
rates rallied for two runs in the
ninth against recently signed clos-
er Craig Kimbrel. Maddon called it
perhaps the toughest loss his team
has endured all season but said his
club’s issues could be easily solved
with just a little offense.
Chicago responded by putting
up its highest run total since a 14-6
win over Washington on May 17.
And the Cubs open the second half
by welcoming the Pirates to Wrig-
ley Field next Friday, a meeting
Maddon said he “can’t wait” for.

Fireworks finale: Daytona prepares for last race in July
By MARK LONG
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — There
are few venues on NASCAR’s schedule
quite like Daytona International Speed-
way in July.
Sweltering summer heat and humid-
ity with rain and lightning always lurk-
ing. Kiddie pools and American flags ev-
erywhere. A usually intense night race
on a slippery surface. An over-the-top
fireworks display afterward.
It’s a one-of-a-kind celebration at NA-
SCAR’s most famous track.
It also could be history following Sat-
urday night’s 400-mile race at Daytona.
A significant scheduling shakeup has
the iconic race tethered to Independence
Day moving to late August in 2020 and
becoming the Cup Series’ regular-sea-
son finale. It’s a bold break from tradi-
tion that’s been met with mixed reviews.
“There’s not a lot of other tracks that
can provide what Daytona can provide
on a holiday weekend,” retired NASCAR
driver and current NBC analyst Dale
Earnhardt Jr. said. “I’ve never tried to
celebrate that weekend anywhere else
other than Daytona.”

Edmondson first per-
formed his “Two Bits” cheer
in 1949. He was in the stands
at Florida Field when fans
booed the Gators as they took
the field for the season open-
er against the Citadel. An in-
surance agent from Tampa,
Edmondson decided to cheer
and encouraged others to join
him.
His “Two bits, four bits,
six bits a dollar ... all for the
Gators, stand up and holler!”
routine took hold, and he
quickly became a well-known
figure at games. He always
years, unable to fill the grandstands like
the 500-miler in February. Numerous
tweaks may have caused the dip.
From 1959 through 1987, the race ran
on July 4 before being moved to the Sat-
urday of the closest weekend. From 1959
through 1997, the race started no later
than 11 a.m.
It moved to prime time in 1998, and
few of the current drivers even remem-
ber it as anything else.
“It’s kind of disappointing for me,”
defending race winner Erik Jones said.
“Growing up, you always had the big July
4th race at Daytona, and that is where
everybody was. That is what you did on
Saturday night. You watched the race at
Daytona.
“It’s a little bit of a bummer. It’s a tra-
dition and kind of some of the things in
the sport that have stuck around, and
this is one of those things and I’m sad to
see it go. It’s a change of the times, but
maybe we will make it back over here at
some point.”
Unpredictable weather played a factor
in the move, along with NASCAR trying
to boost its struggling race at Indianapo-
lis Motor Speedway by heading there for
the holiday in 2020.
And the change doesn’t appear to be a

Florida used an honorary
Mr. Two Bits to fill the void.
Former Heisman Trophy
winners Steve Spurrier and
Danny Wuerffel as well as
NFL broadcaster Cris Col-
linsworth, pro wrestler Titus
O’Neil and five-time Olympic
swimmer Dara Torres were
among those who dressed
up like Edmondson and mim-
icked his cheer before games.
Edmondson is survived by
his wife, Jane, three children,
three grandchildren and five
great grandchildren.
one-year trial.
“This wasn’t a decision we said, ‘Hey,
let’s go there for a year and rotate it,’”
said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s execu-
tive vice president and chief racing de-
velopment officer. “Our intent is to stay
for a few years and see how we net out.”
Daytona executives are taking the
move in stride. They’re eager to see what
happens with the new date. It should
make for plenty of optimism for count-
less drivers who will need a victory to
make the playoffs and could have a shot
at a track known for producing late-race
mayhem and unlikely contenders.
Daytona’s annual summer event al-
ready has produced plenty of iconic mo-
ments.
Richard Petty notched his 200th and
final victory at Daytona in 1984, with
president Ronald Reagan in attendance.
Earnhardt won in 2001, five months after
his father died during the last lap of the
Daytona 500. Tony Stewart climbed the
chain-link fence near the finish line after
his 2006 win, his second of four victories
during Daytona’s summer race.
Earnhardt acknowledges he would
have been “raising hell” over the change
10 years ago. But he’s also intrigued by
it.

The final insult: Women compete with Copa America, CONCACAF

By RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press
Megan Rapinoe considers
Sunday to be the final insult.
Just a few hours after the
United States and the Neth-
erlands meet in the Women’s
World Cup final in France, Brazil
or Peru will celebrate winning
the Copa America, South Amer-
ica’s men’s championship. And
then at night, the United States
or Mexico will win the CONCA-
CAF Gold Cup, the men’s title of
North and Central America and
the Caribbean.
A TV triple of championships
for some is yet another slight for
others.
“It’s ridiculous, and disap-
pointing, to be honest,” said
Rapinoe, the star American mid-
fielder.
FIFA said playing the three
finals on the same day would
boost attention for all
“The scheduling of the dif-
ferent events has gone through
a comprehensive consultancy
process, which has involved all
key stakeholders and taken into
account different aspects of the
women’s and men’s international
match calendars,” the governing
body said in a statement. “It is a
rare and exciting occurrence.”
CONCACAF President Vic-
tor Montagliani told The New
York Times, however, the deci-
sion to schedule the Gold Cup
final for Sunday was not delib-
erate and was due to a “clerical
error.”
“It’s terrible,” said former
American midfielder Aly Wag-
ner, now Fox’s lead World Cup
match analyst. “It is so disturb-
ing to me that the Women’s
World Cup does not have its own
day to stand on its own and have
a final to highlight these tremen-
dous athletes and their work
and their accomplishment. They
wouldn’t dream of doing it to the
men. Why would they do it to the
women?”
FIFA announced the Wom-
en’s World Cup dates at the em-
blem launch on Sept. 18, 2017 ,
then revealed the full schedule
the following Feb. 9 .
CONCACAF did not an-
nounce the expansion of the
Gold Cup from 12 teams to 16
until Feb. 26, 2018 , then said
last Sept. 27 that the final would
be held at Chicago’s Soldier
Field on July 7 . South America’s
governing body made the Copa
America dates known since at
least early 2018 and said last
Dec. 18 the final would kick off
at 4 p.m. EDT.
The Women’s World Cup final
will start at 11 a.m. EDT on Fox,
followed by the Copa America
final at 4 p.m. EDT on ESPN+
and the CONCACAF final at
9:15 p.m. EDT on FS1. Telemun-
do, a sister network of NBC, has
Women’s World Cup and Copa
America Spanish-language U.S.
rights, while Univision has the
Gold Cup.
“I really am a believer in the
rising tide lifts all ships,” said
David Neal, executive producer
of Fox’s World Cup coverage.
“Because of the timing of them,
it’s probably not going to hurt
anybody.”
Advertisers don’t seem to
think the three finals will canni-
balize each other.
“It doesn’t alter in any way
shape or form what we plan to
do. I’m not sure whether it’ll
splinter viewership or not,” said
Chris Curtin, chief brand and
innovation marketing officer of
Visa, one of six FIFA partners.
Advertisers focus on their
product’s marketing and activa-
tion and pretty much ignore the
other tournaments.
“The priority for Coca-Cola
is the FIFA Women’s World Cup
and we’re going to do everything
we can to bring a lot of attention,
a lot people in front of TVs, to
watch the game, to watch the
final,” said Ricardo Fort, head
of global sponsorships at The
Coca-Cola Co., another FIFA
partner.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
5). Tender loving care is an ex-
change that must be cultivated.
You’ll be brilliant at it this sort
of give and take and will be re-
warded with what can only occur
with the pure joy that comes of
people learning each other over
time. A professional accolade
in October will be followed by
an opportunity to pivot toward
your dreams. Virgo and Scorpio
adore you. Your lucky numbers
BABY BLUES are: 8, 12, 1, 10 and 4.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You’re careful not to make
things about you that shouldn’t
be. Sometimes, even things
that are given, said and done
directly to you are actually not
about you. Wisdom helps you
separate your role from your
true self.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
It’s like your life is perfectly
sized for certain manner of
living and then when one thing
changes — a visit, travel, an
event — the basics of self-care
go out the window. It’s better
when exercise and time to your-
self is a higher priority.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Being satisfied doesn’t always
come naturally. Some find
it easier than others. To get
satisfied when you’re not re-
quires that you notice and allow
yourself to be influenced by an
entirely different set of factors.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There’s nothing telling you what
you must decide. It’s entirely
up to you. But don’t let that
paralyze you. There are a lot of
ways to get it right. This isn’t a
case of getting it right. It’s a
case of recognizing what it is
you most want to learn.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Though you don’t mean to
deceive anyone, and no one
means to deceive you, there
are dynamics in play that could
call for a heightened version of
personality. Pretending isn’t just
for children.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You will be in a competitive
mood. It starts with knowing
you can beat someone else and
then realizing that the thing to
beat is the status quo, or per-
haps your own personal best.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The clandestine arrangement
is the thing of Shakespearean
comedy and tragedy alike. It’s
the infrastructure of surprise
parties and coups. Secrets have
power not to be taken lightly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Getting comfortable
around different types of people
will be the challenge of the
day. Only the most confident
and classy take this on, as the
easier thing is to avoid those
who are different.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The social lessons learned
at an early age still apply. You
can do it one of two ways. Either
figure out who likes you and, if
it’s mutual, hang around that
person. Or, you can figure out
who you like first, which is the
best way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There are easy things to
interpret (most television and
movies, typical design con-
cepts, familiar faces) and then
there are harder things (books,
poetry, fine art and complicat-
ed people). All are completely
worth it!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You prefer to bring the big
picture into being through a
certain mental evenness. This
requires that you break large
tasks down into small ones and
then plot them out with a rea-
sonable schedule over time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Some of the three scariest
words in the English language
are, “Can we talk?” While it’s
fine to let loved ones know how
you feel, today it’s also safe
to assume that your actions
have told them already and will
continue to do so.

Judge: Tennessee marriage law has constitutional issues

New law prohibits not want to be married by
a justice of the peace.
ministers Since that first wed-
ding in 2015, he has
ordained online solemnized three other
weddings, all for friends
from solemnizing or acquaintances who
had challenges with more
traditional venues. People
who seek him out could
include same-sex couples
who have trouble finding a
church that accepts them
or couples of different re-
ligious backgrounds, he
said.
Biser said he refuses
to take money for his ser-
vices but enjoys helping
people on “the most im-
portant day of their lives.”

weddings
By TRAVIS LOLLER
The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
— A new Tennessee law
that prohibits ministers
ordained online from sol-
emnizing weddings has
some “serious constitu-
tional issues,” a federal
judge said at a Wednesday
hearing in Nashville.
The Washington-based
Universal Life Church
Monastery Storehouse
and three Tennesseans
ordained online by that
church are suing to stop
the law, claiming it vio-
lates the U.S. Constitu-
tion by favoring some re-
ligions over others.
On Wednesday, Ten-
nessee Assistant Solicitor
General Jonathan Shaub
argued that the law tar-
geting online ordination
was necessary to ensure
the integrity of marriage
and prevent fraud.
U.S. District Judge
Waverly Crenshaw ques-
tioned Shaub repeatedly
on what interest the state
has in regulating how re-
ligious organizations go
about ordination and how
the prohibition would ad-
vance the interests of the
state.
Late last month, Cren-
shaw put a hold on the
law, which had been
scheduled to go into effect
Monday. On Wednesday,
he asked no questions of
the plaintiffs. Crenshaw
said the parties should
maintain the status quo
and prepare for an early
trial on the constitutional
issues for later this year.
Two of the minister
plaintiffs attended the
hearing.
Gabriel Biser, of Chat-
tanooga, said he became
ordained in the Universal
Life Church to help a cou-
ple of friends who were
getting married. One did
not want a religious cer-
emony and the other did
