  Associated Press
  Seattle Storm coach Brian Agler didn’t find out until just before the game that Chicago would be missing star Elena Della Donne. Even without the league’s No. 2 scorer, who was sidelined with a flare-up of Lyme disease, the Sky almost pulled off the win, falling 80-76 to the Storm on Tuesday night. “It didn’t alter (game plans) from the standpoint of our intent of what we wanted to do on the offensive end,” Agler said. “But defensively Delle Donne is a different kind of player so we would have had to give her a lot of attention.”

  Stanley sweep? Rangers regroup after 0-3 start
  Associated Press
  The gravity of the situation was etched on the face of New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. One more loss Wednesday night to the Los Angeles Kings and his squad gets the distinction of being swept in the Stanley Cup Finals. No team has been swept in the finals since Detroit did it to Washington in 1998, completing a run of four straight Stanley Cup sweeps. So while the Kings are trying to close out the series, New York’s focus is strictly on moving past disappointment and getting back to LA for Game 5.

  U.S. Open a reunion for 2 players, 1 caddie
  Associated Press
  Michael Greller never imagined that a simple act of kindness eight years ago could lead to a moment like this at the U.S. Open. Greller, the caddie for Jordan Spieth, stood on the 18th tee at Pinehurst No. 2 on Tuesday and conferred with his 20-year-old boss on an important tee shot in a match they didn’t want to lose against Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler. Moments later, Greller was sharing a laugh with Spieth’s partner, 21-year-old Justin Thomas, who is playing in his first U.S. Open.It was an amazing reunion among two players and one caddie — not because they were together, but the peculiar path that brought them here.

  Unusual move helps Astros beat Arizona 4-3
  Associated Press
  PHOENIX — A lot of things are going right for the Houston Astros these days.Take Monday night’s 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, for instance.Even when a left-handed reliever went to the outfield for one batter then came back to pitch, everything worked out just fine.With his bullpen worn down, Astros manager Bo Porter took Tony Sipp off the mound and sent him to right field while right-hander Jerome Williams faced Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt walked, then Sipp went back to pitching, striking out left-handed hitting Miguel Montero.Porter had told Sipp to be ready for the switch.“I didn’t think it actually was going to happen,” Sipp said. “He gave me a warning but I’m like ‘All right, OK Bo.”’Sipp hadn’t played in the outfield since his days at Clemson.“I think I had more focus in right field than I did on the mound,” he said. Sipp left for good and Kyle Farnsworth fanned Martin Prado to end the inning.“ It was a good play unless Goldy hit one to him,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “I have seen it done before. I think I saw Lou Piniella do it in the playoffs once before. It is certainly in the rules. He’s going to manage his team the way he wants to manage it. It worked out for him.”Jose Altuve had three hits, including an RBI double, and Jarred Cosart pitched six solid innings for the Astros.Cosart (5-5) allowed three runs and five hits with two walks. The 23-year-old right-hander struck out eight, matching his career high set in his previous start against the Los Angeles Angels. He retired the first 10 batters, five by strikeout.The Astros scored their four runs in the first two innings off Josh Collmenter (4-3), who settled down to blank Houston over his final five innings.Goldschmidt doubled in a run for the Diamondbacks, who had won five of six going into the game.Chad Qualls pitched a scoreless ninth for his eighth save in nine opportunities and seventh straight since May 11.The Astros have won four of five and 12 of their last 16. “We’ve all won at some level. That’s kind of what was the motto in spring training,” Cosart said. “Whether it’s college, high school, Little League, whatever, we all know what it’s like to win, so why not get it going up here? And everyone’s just feeding off each other.”Altuve singled and scored in the first, doubled in a run in the second and singled in the fourth. Dexter Fowler had three hits, including a double, and scored twice.Collmenter went seven innings, giving up four runs, three earned, and seven hits.Right fielder Gerardo Parra threw out Altuve trying to score from second on Jon Singleton’s single in the ninth. Porter challenged, arguing that Montero, the catcher, missed the tag, but the call was upheld after a 38-second video review.Fowler and Altuve opened the game with singles, then after an out, Jason Castro was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Matt Dominguez’s sacrifice fly brought one run home. Another scored on second baseman Aaron Hill’s fielding error.In the second, Fowler singled and scored from first on Altuve’s double over the head of Inciarte in center field. Castro doubled Altuve home and Houston led 4-0.Parra was the first Arizona player to reach base, drawing a walk with one out in the fourth. Goldschmidt followed with Arizona’s first hit, a double down the left field line that scored Parra from first. Montero singled to put runners at first and third, but Prado grounded into a double play to end the inning.Arizona got two more runs in the sixth.Didi Gregorius singled, then scored from third when Parra singled and Fowler muffed the ball in center field. Goldschmidt walked, then Montero’s RBI single made it 4-3.

  Why horse racing should pay attention to boxing
  By Mike North
  After hearing Steve Coburn, the owner of California Chrome, apologize for his post-Belmont Stakes statements, Mike North has some advice for the racing industry: "I don’t know what will be done to change things — my guess is nothing — but I find it puzzling that horse racing is always slow on the uptake. For example, when two boxers fight and bring in spectacular numbers or there is a major controversy, the first thing any good promoter does is talk rematch!" A match race with Tonalist and California Chrome at Arlington International Racecourse, North says, would be a huge draw.

  Man bets 400,000 pounds on Scotland voting against independence
  Bloomberg News
  A man gambled 400,000 pounds ($671,000) on Scots voting to stay in the U.K. in a referendum later this year. Bookmaker William Hill Plc said the stake, placed in London today, was the largest ever political bet.The customer, “who does not have a Scottish accent,” got odds on a No vote on Sept. 18 of 1-4, meaning he stands to make 100,000 pounds if the bet is successful. As a result, William Hill shortened the odds to 1-5, while lengthening those on a Yes vote to 10-3 from 11-4, the company said in an emailed statement today.The wager is twice the previous record bet of 200,000 pounds, also on Scots rejecting independence and opting to remain in the 307-year-old union, William Hill said.Opinion polls in recent months showed people warming to independence though they are still outnumbered by those preferring the status quo. All three main U.K. political parties have declared their intention to give Scotland more financial power should they vote against full autonomy as they try to arrest the progress of the nationalist campaign.Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a Scot, said yesterday that home rule for Scotland within the U.K. will be a minimum as the country moves away from a unitary state.Ladbrokes Plc, the other of the two largest U.K. bookmakers, offers odds of 1-4 for a No vote and 3-1 for Scotland deciding to go it alone, the company’s website shows.

  Japan Olympics organizers review Tokyo 2020 plans
  Associated Press
  TOKYO — Japan’s Olympics organizers said Tuesday they are reviewing their plans for the venues of Tokyo’s 2020 Summer Games due to concerns about cost.Tokyo Gov. Yoichi Masuzoe told a city assembly meeting that the overall plan for the venues needs to be revised. “We must respond to concerns over rising facilities costs, including rising costs for labor and construction materials,” Masuzoe said. “We will review the plan as soon as possible from that point of view and revise what needs to be revised appropriately and promptly so that there will be no obstacles for the preparations for the games,” he said.Japan has already informed the International Olympic Committee about its intention to review and revise its plans, the broadcaster NHK cited Masuzoe as saying. Yoshiro Mori, a former prime minister and rugby enthusiast who heads Tokyo’s Olympic committee, issued a statement saying that Masuzoe and other members of the committee agree on the need to revise the plan for the venues.The statement did not refer specifically to plans to replace Tokyo’s National Stadium with a colossal, 80,000-seat facility, the centerpiece of the city’s Olympics bid. The proposed new stadium has caused protests over its size, cost and design. The Japan Sports Council has already scaled back its original proposal to spend 300 billion yen ($3 billion) on a 75-meter-tall stadium to a still-hefty 169 billion yen ($1.7 billion). It recently presented its plans for the stadium to the Olympics organizers, saying it did not envision revising the basic design concept but would take other concerns into consideration. Mori said the Tokyo committee was dedicated to creating a “legacy of sports-centered and affluent, healthy living spaces.” Tokyo, the 1964 Summer Olympics host, failed in a bid to host in 2016 but won the right to host the games in 2020 with a plan emphasizing the city’s safety and advanced infrastructure. Of the 33 competition venues, 28 will be within 5 miles (8 kilometers) of the Olympic Village, which will be built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay.

  A Barrington letter to the editor: I read an HYPERLINK "http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140521/news/140529690/"article by Tax Watchdog Jake Griffin in the paper on May 21. I learned that Superintendent Loren May, who leads a small elementary district in Glendale Heights, was earning $357,117 per year.
