He started not only to invite but to heed Batting Coach Billy DeMars' counsel and also began to grow famous. "He got rid of that 'potential' tag," says Rose, who like Davis lightly noted a record nine straight strikeouts in Houston a few weeks ago because the team still won. Among all his gaudy statistics, runs scored has become Davis' favorite category. "Runs win ball games," he explains. "Eric's a grown-up kid now," says Rose...

Backed by House Minority Leader Robert Michel, who represents the area, the stretch would provide an alternative to Route 121, two lanes of inadequate winding blacktop on which highballing truckers terrify motorists. Total price tag: $135 million, of which the highway bill provides $17 million...
