Cleveland’s Matthew Dellavedova,

OAKLAND, Calif. — If any
team around the country
should have understood
the capability of Matthew
Dellavedova in the clutch, it
should have been the Gold-
en State Warriors.
Dellavedova made a mark
as a gritty gamer at Saint
Mary’s College in four
years. But he made a more
striking one Sunday at
Oracle Arena, stepping in
for injured All-Star Kyrie
Irving.
Dellavedova scored only
nine points, but he made the

HEY,

HEY, WILLIE!
Meaning no disrespect, but
you and Steve Wolfson Sr. don’t
know as much about horses as
you think you do. If American
Pharoah had been bred for dis-
tance, he might have lapped the
other horses at the Belmont.
MIKE IN ORMOND
HEY, MIKE!
The way you gallop down
to bayonet the wounded, you
should’ve been a columnist.
While all of my thoroughbred
knowledge would fit comfort-
ably in Hank Goldberg’s watch
pocket, I can assure you Steve
Wolfson knows his stuff. He
admittedly relies heavily on
pedigree.
If you’ve looked around the
Thanksgiving dinner table, you
know pedigree is far from a
perfect science.
HEY, WILLIE!
I’m sure Mr. Wolfson knows
horses. And yeah, any horse
can run a mile-and-a-half. But
I guess only a sprinter can do it
five lengths ahead of the rest of
the field.
DENNIS M
HEY, DENNIS!
In follow-up correspondence
after the Belmont, Wolfson’s
enthusiasm toward American
Pharoah has picked up because
of the owner’s talk of running
the horse in some big races
later this year.
After that, American Pharoah
will slip into a robe and make
himself comfortable in a dimly
lit stall — not unlike Billy Dee
Williams in those old Colt 45
commercials.
HEY, WILLIE!
It’s kinda hard to keep pulling
for Matt Every.
Lately, he doesn’t seem to “be
there” when playing. From the
outside looking in, it looks like
it’s good enough for him if he
plays well enough to pay the
bills. I hope it’s not that way.
I hope he gets the “zing” back
soon.
JIM H
HEY, JIM!
Trust me, he cares. For better
or worse, he seems to be quite
aware some weeks you have
it and some weeks you don’t.
Sometimes, as was the case
Thursday at the Memorial, you
can have it for a few hours (4
under through 13) and watch it
skitter away in minutes (2 over
by day’s end).
The blending of fate, faith and
golf dates back to Bobby Jones
and his belief that predestina-
tion extended to tournament
play.
With rare exceptions through
history, the sanest golfers have
been those who accept the fleet-
ing nature of golfing greatness
and can live knowing they only
need it to visit several times
a year for them to afford a big
house.
Most surgeons, thankfully,
don’t adhere to this philosophy.
HEY, WILLIE!
Frank Jewell passed away two
weeks ago. Frank was almost
solely responsible for bringing
youth soccer to this area in the
early ’70s on three makeshift
fields in front of the old Der-
byshire YMCA.
Frank also built a fully-walled,
outdoor, plywood soccer field at
the Y and for a while organized
indoor soccer in the gym. He was
one of the great people who came
to the area with GE in the ’60s
and ’70s.
He was also famous for his
“secret recipe” barbecue chicken
and for running in his dress
socks.
RON
HEY, RON!
Thanks for adding to Frank’s
recent obit and filling in some
gaps.
Frank was “soccer is the next
big thing” before “soccer is the
next big thing” became cool.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — For her second
goal of the night against Australia,
U.S. midfielder Megan Rapinoe chan-
neled Lionel Messi.
Rapinoe dribbled the ball before
her long, low shot breezed past diving
Matildas goalkeeper Melissa Barbi-
eri.
“I was doing my best Messi impres-
sion,” Rapinoe laughed, then added:
“A much slower version.”
Rapinoe’s two goals gave the United
States a 3-1 victory Monday against
Australia in the Americans’ opener
at a Women’s World Cup that began
with FIFA and the U.S. team facing
controversy.
Christen Press also scored for the
second-ranked U.S., which is seeking
its third World Cup title and first
since 1999. Embattled goalkeeper
Hope Solo saved four shots on goal,
including a pair in the first 15 min-
utes by the hard-charging Matildas.
Lisa De Vanna had tied the score
midway through the first half for No.
10 Australia, which kept with the
United States for the opening hour.
“A little bit choppy. I think you
could tell we were a little bit ner-
vous,” Rapinoe said. “But we settled
in a bit and we were able to get some
goals. Three points, that’s most
important, especially in this group
that’s shaping up a little weird.”
The field has expanded from 16
teams to 24 this year, and the Amer-
icans’ next match in difficult Group
D will be Friday against fifth-ranked
Sweden and former U.S. coach Pia
Sundhage. They finish group play
June 16 against Nigeria, which
played to a physical and somewhat
surprising 3-3 tie with Sweden in the
opener of the day’s doubleheader.
U.S. star forward Alex Morgan,
sidelined by a bone bruise in her left
knee, entered in the 79th minute in
her first game action with April 11
with her Portland team.
“I felt really good. I had no pain
whatsoever,” Morgan said. “Obvious-
ly, I was running down balls a lot and
trying to keep possession, making
sure we kept the 3-1 lead. I felt good,
and I’m looking forward to getting
more time, hopefully next time.”
Rapinoe scored in the 12th minute

CHICAGO — Victor Hedman had two
assists for Tampa Bay while playing
stout defense on Chicago’s top forwards
Monday as the Lightning beat the
Blackhawks 3-2 in Game 3 of the Stan-
ley Cup Final.
Ryan Callahan, Ondrej Palat and Ced-
ric Paquette scored as Tampa Bay used
its second consecutive win to take a 2-1
lead in the best-of-7 series. Ben Bishop
made 36 saves in a gutsy performance
after he was questionable coming into
the game. Game 4 is Wednesday night.
Brad Richards and Brandon Saad
scored for Chicago, and Corey Crawford
finished with 29 stops.
