JUPITER, Fla. -- Orioles manager Ray Miller said he will bat left fielder B. J. Surhoff second today against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Chan Ho Park, the first time he has done so this spring."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Orioles further beefed up their spring training pitching staff yesterday by inviting left-hander John Parrish to camp, a move made necessary by injuries to Steve Montgomery and Everett Stull. Parrish joins left-hander Vince Horsman and right-hander Matt Snyder as late additions.Montgomery was told Tuesday that he would be sidelined for six to 10 days because of inflammation in his right shoulder. Stull's left knee was scoped yesterday to remove slightly torn meniscus and will need at least three weeks to rehabilitate.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- It doesn't register as highly on the spring training scale of injuries as Brady Anderson's broken rib or Cal Ripken's tender groin muscle last year, but Orioles officials were left scurrying for pitching replacements yesterday after learning that right-handers Steve Montgomery and Everett Stull would be sidelined.Montgomery, the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year at Double-A Bowie, stopped throwing from a mound Monday because of pain caused by inflammation in the front of his right shoulder.

The father of a 7-month-old boy filed a $550,000 lawsuit in Anne Arundel Circuit Court yesterday against Giant Food, alleging that its Crofton pharmacy mislabeled directions on a prescription.In the lawsuit, David Horwath of the 2000 block of Aberdeen Drive in Crofton alleges that the Pediaprofen he bought three months ago for his son, Christopher, came with instructions to give the baby 2 1/2 teaspoons a day, 10 times the required dose.When the instructions were followed, "the child became increasingly ill, was unable to eat, suffered from projectile vomiting and his condition began to steadily deteriorate," the suit says.

BOWIE -- Matt Jarvis and Billy Owens supplied most of the heroics in Jeffrey Hammonds' first home game with the Bowie Baysox last night.Jarvis pitched six-hit ball for eight innings and gained his team-leading sixth victory, and Owens hit a three-run homer to lead the Baysox to a 6-1 Eastern League victory over the Harrisburg Senators at Prince George's County Stadium.But Hammonds drew the majority of the attention from the crowd of 5,516, and he delighted them immediately with a diving catch of Mark Charbonnet's sinking liner in the first inning.

The 1995 Westminster baseball story is simply amazing.The Owls traveled a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the state Class 4A final four at the University of Maryland.No high school team is supposed to win nearly half of its games (eight) with comebacks or rallies in the seventh, eighth and 10th innings.When Steve Mays ripped a 365-foot double to left center Monday to beat Springbrook, 5-4, in 10 innings and send the Owls to College Park, the father of a Westminster player yelled, "I can't take it anymore."

Charlie Stull does business out of two storefronts in the 1400 block of W. Baltimore St. -- a used-furniture store and a second-hand clothing shop. One day last month, he was standing in the clothing shop when a guy walked in with a bed frame. He asked if Charlie wanted to buy it. Charlie squinted and closely examined the frame, and something apparent became obvious: It was Charlie's bed frame; the guy had lifted it from the store next door, walked about 30 paces, and tried to sell it to him.Charlie grabbed the guy. His wife called 911. "Do you know it took 37 1/2 minutes for the police to come?"

EMMITSBURG -- Chad Stull is not the most talented of Mount St. Mary's players, but none of his teammates exceeds his enthusiasm and hustle. So, Stull was the perfect entry into the game last night when coach Jim Phelan decided to apply all-out defensive pressure against Monmouth.With the 6-foot-5 senior functioning as the big man in a lineup that also included a small forward and three guards, the Mountaineers forced Monmouth into turnover after turnover in the second half and rolled to an 81-65 Northeast Conference victory at Knott Arena.

McCoy, Pitt upset No. 10 South Florida COL. FOOTBALL LeSean McCoy ran for two touchdowns and Bill Stull threw for one as visiting Pittsburgh upset No. 10 South Florida, 26-21, last night. The Panthers (4-1, 2-0 Big East) have won two of the past three games against South Florida (5-1, 0-1) in Tampa. Stull finished 16-for-27 for 228 yards. Bulls quarterback Matt Grothe was 11-for-20 for 129 yards and rushed for a touchdown. Bills' Evans gets 4-year extension NFL Wide receiver Lee Evans signed a four-year contract extension worth $37.25 million in a deal that prevents the Buffalo Bills star from becoming a free agent after this season.

THE PROBLEM -- No one answers the phone number that potential jurors are supposed to call to postpone their jury service. THE BACKSTORY --Corita Stull and Tony DeFranco both say they want to carry out their jury duty. But Stull is still nursing her youngest son, and she tried but failed to get child care for April 9, the date of her summons. DeFranco is a third-year University of Baltimore law student and his summons was for April 22, right in the middle of his study period before exams.

The walls of Dwight Stull's office are covered with maps. The maps are covered with clear plastic, and the clear plastic is covered with crayoned lines showing the bus routes that will take thousands of Howard County students to school each day. Rolled-up maps jumbled in a corner show the boundaries separating students who walk to school from the ones who take the bus. A plaque above an overflowing table says, "A clean, uncluttered desk is the sign of...
