The Orioles envision a day when Brandon Snyder, their first pick in the 2005 draft, becomes their regular homegrown catcher. They also know it's going to take time, partly because he came to them out of high school, and since he's being forced to play a different position this year. Snyder, 20, is sharing first base duties with Chris Vinyard at low Single-A Delmarva after undergoing surgery Aug. 29 to repair a torn left rotator cuff. He could move back behind the plate next season. Before yesterday, Snyder had committed six errors at first, often because he didn't realize that he had plenty of time to make a play.

The streets will be lined with Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis as people walk by with plates of Italian food and stop to glance at photographs of rare car parts. But you won't see this scene in Italy - instead it will be in Baltimore. On Saturday, the third annual exotic car show will take place, this year being renamed Concorso Italia de Little Italy, as the event - which for the past two years has been held in Annapolis - comes to Baltimore. The idea came about in summer 2005, when Jonathan Kendall decided that he wanted to give back to a place that had helped his family, the Children's Guild, a nonprofit organization helping children with emotional and behavioral issues.

DENVER -- As if having his 3-year-old son in the stands, smiling and clapping, wasn't enough to fill Atlanta shortstop Walt Weiss with unspeakable joy, he added another poignant scene to the All-Star Game by singling twice for the National League and driving in a run in the fourth inning."

WASHINGTON -- In a tense finale to the first presidential impeachment hearing since Watergate, Kenneth W. Starr squared off last night with President Clinton's personal lawyer, defending his sprawling four-year investigation against blistering questions aimed at discrediting the drive to impeach the president.The high-stakes showdown between Starr and David E. Kendall -- who have jousted bitterly for years -- culminated a more than 12-hour hearing in which the independent counsel methodically laid out the case that Clinton marshaled "the machinery of government and the powers of his office" to subvert the rule of law.All day, Starr calmly parried a Democratic attack but broke little new ground on matters on which he has already submitted a written report to Congress.

WASHINGTON - A defiant President Clinton vowed yesterday that he would never resign over allegations that he had sex with a White House intern and encouraged her to keep it quiet.Clinton lawyers and his Democratic allies, meanwhile, stepped up their attacks against the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr - who fired back with a salvo of his own last night in which he accused the White House of leading an "orchestrated plan" to discredit his investigation.The furor centers on the White House's complaints of possibly illegal leaks of information to the news media - leaks that Clinton's sideinsists are intended to damage the president and must have come from Starr's office.

WASHINGTON -- Independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr brusquely refused yesterday to let President Clinton and his lawyers have an advance look at his long-awaited investigative report to Congress about the White House sex scandal.In a letter that could complicate an imminent battle over possible impeachment, Starr told Clinton's private attorney David E. Kendall that a report to Congress will be secret and that it is up to the House to determine who may see it."It is for Congress to decide if and when such information should be provided to your client," Starr wrote to Kendall.

WASHINGTON -- The brief hand-delivered note conveyed the testiness of a foot-tapping Washington hostess awaiting an RSVP from a guest three days before the party.Which is approximately what it was."Dear David," the note to President Clinton's lawyer began with apparent cordiality. The president, it noted, had publicly promised to cooperate in the Monica Lewinsky investigation. Yet despite an invitation issued on Jan. 28, the grand jury had heard nothing back from the president. It was now Feb. 2. The grand jury would next meet on Feb. 5.Tap.

Jeff Filandro was the guy nobody thought Kim Bristow should date.Brash and outspoken, with a love for gambling, partying and golf, in that order, Jeff paid so little attention during his first year at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in Philadelphia that he had to repeat the classes in summer school.Kim, on the other hand, was quiet and studious, straight-laced and family-oriented. "She was this little geek who was always at the top of her class," teases good friend Kendall Herschler, who persuaded Kim to attend the optometry college with her.All three began attending the school in August 1993, but it wasn't until November of that year - when the class broke into study groups to cram for final exams - that Jeff and Kim were introduced.

Of all the things the rowhouse on East Oliver Street had been over the course of its lifetime, the most recent was what some locals delicately called a gentlemen's social club. That would explain the huge pedestal bed surrounded by mirrors and bolted to the floor that had to be ripped out as the house was renovated to offer quite different services: The Spiral Dance Womyn's Center & Bookstore. It is an unlikely feminist outpost in an impoverished neighborhood of boarded-up houses and corner drug dealers.

There can never be a whole lot of stability on a short-season Single-A baseball team such as the Aberdeen IronBirds. Even if Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. is the owner. However, the 2008 IronBirds are about as stable as any low-level minor league team can be. They will open the season tonight with nine players who spent either 2007 or both 2006 and 2007 with the IronBirds. There's even returning experience at the manager position and two coaching jobs. Gary Kendall will manage the team, returning to the town where he was a field coach in 2002 and 2003.

Columbus, Ohio -- B.J. Surhoff has not changed that much since his days as an Orioles outfielder and first baseman. He is still stoic and quiet, careful with his words and wary of attention. He still has the thick and tanned forearms of a furniture mover and the strong and confident chin of a leading man, even though he always seemed more comfortable in a supporting role during his baseball career. But instead of spending his afternoons honing his smooth left-handed stroke at Camden Yards, Surhoff, now 43, can often be found poolside in places like this, the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion at Ohio State, sitting alone up in the bleachers.

With Howard clinging to a late onegoal lead over Reservoir this season, Lions attackmanJesse Kendall walked to the sideline and greeted his visibly agitated coach in the fourthquarter. With the Lions' defense struggling with a few minutes left, Kendall took control. "He looked me right in the eye and calmly said, 'Coach, don?t worry. I'm not losing this game and we?re not losing this game,' " Howard coach Josh Bound said. Kendall trotted back on the field and proceeded to score his fifth goal of the day ?

Marcia Randall-Bey arrived at Success in Style recently with a simple goal: to get an outfit for a job interview. Not so long ago, the 47-year-old Baltimore woman had been addicted to heroin and cocaine. But after spending two days in jail, she was "scared straight" and has been clean since 2003, she said. Now she was hoping for a housekeeping job at a hotel. But once she saw herself in the mirror, dressed in a smart black pantsuit with a crisp purple-striped shirt under the blazer, she changed her game plan.

Did you know... ... that running back Ricky Williams, suspended for a year after another violation of the NFL's drug policy, says he wants to play football for the Toronto Argonauts?

Angels pitcher John Lackey also was fined for "inappropriate actions and comments" that helped to incite the incident.
