Two men were fatally shot in Baltimore yesterday in separate incidents, the latest about 11 p.m. in the Cedonia neighborhood, city police said. Few details were available on the latest shooting, which occurred at Waycross Road and Cedonia Avenue in Northeast Baltimore. Officer Troy Harris, a police spokesman, could only say that a man had been shot several times. Earlier yesterday, about 3:50 p.m., an adult male was shot in the head in the 1000 block of E.

SATURDAY MORNING, in brilliant sunshine, I heard the familiar smack of a fastball into a catcher's mitt. I love that sound. Next to the crack of the bat, the smack of a fastball hitting leather is the most distinctive sound in baseball, and the faster the pitch, the louder the smack. The one I heard Saturday morning actually echoed a little across a back yard in Joppa, Harford County.The kid throwing the ball was Troy Neville, a tall and lean left-hander, with long arms and a nice bend in his back when he winds up. He has a smooth delivery and, in the dozen or so pitches I saw him throw, an eye for the target.

Fallston Recreation Council president John Sochurek agrees -- 11-year-old Troy Neville is one very talented baseball player. But, says Sochurek, he threw too fast and swung too hard for his league. His bat and his pitching arm posed a threat to the safety of his 11- and 12-year-old opponents. Officials of the Fallston Baseball Program should have required him to play with older boys, 13 and 14, from the start of the season."Normally," says Sochurek in a letter to TJI, "players of Troy's caliber play in the 13-14 age group.

Coach of the YearRichard King, Annapolis: After a .500 season in 1998, the Panthers enjoyed their finest season under King, in his seventh season, going 9-2 with tough 5-4 setbacks to county powers Severna Park and Arundel. King has coached teams that featured three-time state champion Meghan Cornwall, a 1996 grad, but said he never had a more well-rounded team than this year's. Leading the way at No. 1 boys singles was senior Troy Demers, who upset Severna Park's Andrew Porter in the regular-season before taking second at the county championships.

After six years of taking vicious shots from pass rushers, fans and the media, embattled quarterback Kyle Boller is leaving Baltimore standing tall. Boller, who signed with the St. Louis Rams, said Thursday that he departs with no ill feelings over a period defined by heavy criticism and unfulfilled expectations. "I had a great time there. I still think it's a great city," Boller told The Baltimore Sun in his first comments to the Baltimore media this offseason. "I'm going to miss [owner]

Ravens offensive tackle Adam Terry will undergo an arthroscopic procedure today to clean out his ailing right knee and is likely to miss at least the next two weeks. While making the announcement yesterday during his weekly news conference at the team's training facility in Owings Mills, coach John Harbaugh estimated that Terry - who has missed the past two games - could return in time for the game against the Houston Texans on Nov. 9. "It's a little bit of an opportunity to go in there and just see what the deal is," Harbaugh said.

From Steve McNair's abrupt retirement to Troy Smith's sudden illness, the Ravens' quarterback situation has been filled with unexpected twists. After Saturday night's 24-10 loss to the St. Louis Rams, John Harbaugh provided another one. The Ravens coach left open the possibility that rookie first-round pick Joe Flacco could jump back into contention for a starting job that had seemed to be between Smith and Kyle Boller. Rushed into his first start Saturday, Flacco completed 18 of 37 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown.

Matt Willis was a long shot to make the Ravens as a free agent last year but did. The second-year wide receiver from UCLA is still fighting the odds, but he is also finding a way to get noticed. Among the team's offensive highlights so far in training camp was a diving catch Willis made this week on a slightly off-target pass from quarterback Troy Smith. Making those kinds of catches has become something of a Willis specialty. "It's just staying focused and working hard and opening everybody else's eyes so they see what I see," Willis said.

A man who was wounded two weeks ago in a quadruple shooting in East Baltimore has died of his injuries, city police said yesterday.

He and three other men were shot about 6 p.m. outside AFA Family Appliances in the 2300 block of E. North Ave. Tony Allen, 53, died on the day of the shooting. Officer Troy Harris, a police spokesman, said Spriggs died Tuesday morning at a hospital.

The emergency room doctor who treated a woman severely beaten on a city bus in December testified in juvenile court yesterday that it was highly unlikely - but not impossible - that her injuries existed before the attack. Nine Robert Poole Middle School students have been accused of attacking Sarah Kreager, 26, and Troy Ennis, 30, aboard the No. 27 bus in Hampden on Dec. 4. Cases against five of those students began this week and are scheduled to resume tomorrow. Some defense attorneys argued that Kreager's injuries resulted from an earlier fight with Ennis, and not what witnesses described to 911 dispatchers as "a riot" involving men who "jumped off the bus and started beating" Kreager.
