SPORTS SHORTS:
    
FLOYD, PATE LEAD BRITISH OPEN:
   Ray Floyd turned back history's pages Thursday at Muirfield, 
firing a 7-under-par 64 to gain a share of the first-round lead of 
the 121st British Open with Steve Pate. Ian Woosnam was tied for 
the lead until he drove into a bunker at No. 18 and made his only 
bogey. His 65 tied him with George Brand Jr. Favorite Nick Faldo 
is tied at 66 with John Cook, Lee Janzen and Ernie Els.
    
TAGLIABUE CONSIDERS SETTLEMENT:
   NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue met Thursday with lawyer and 
former players union president Tom Condon as speculation about a 
settlement of the current free-agency litigation continued to 
grow. Tagliabue is said to want "a global settlement" of the 22 
lawsuits. NFL owners meet Monday and Tuesday in Dallas. Freeman 
McNeil's free-agency trial resumes July 27.
    
LEMOND STILL IN BATTLE:
   The next three days of cycling's Tour de France - the most 
difficult stages of the three-week race - will determine whether 
the USA's Greg LeMond, now in fourth place, can win his fourth 
Tour or if he will even have enough stamina to finish the 
2,479-mile race after Thursday's rest day. Friday's stage, 160 
miles from Dole to St. Gervais, is the longest of the three-week 
race.
    
RYPIEN STILL NEGOTIATING:
   Quarterback Mark Rypien was all smiles but was still unsigned 
as the Washington Redskins received Super Bowl XXVI championship 
rings Thursday. Rypien has a standing two-year, $6 million offer 
from the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League and is 
reported to want $4 million a year from Washington. Rypien's 
agent, Ken Staninger, resumed contract talks with the Redskins 
this this week.
