ATLANTA (AP) - Chuck James tossed seven shutout innings and Martin Prado hit a three-run homer as Atlanta dumpedPhiladelphia 4-to-1. The loss drops the Phillies two and a-half games off the N-L wild-card lead. Jamie Moyer took the loss for the Phillies, who visit Houston tonight.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook left practice with swelling in his knee, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game with the New York Giants. The injury in practice yesterday worries some who believe Westbrook is too fragile to carry the load for the Eagles.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers know they can't keep running Willie Parker 29 times per game, like they did in their opener. What they don't know is who should succeed the retired Jerome Bettis as the big running back who can wear down defenses and keep Parker rested.

FARMINGTON, Pa. (AP) - It doesn't look like this will be theweek Michelle Wie makes the cut in a men's event. The 16-yearold struggled to a 5-over 77 in the first round of the P-G-A Tour's 84 Lumber Classic, leaving her 13 shots off the lead.

VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) - Philadelphia Flyers center Keith Primeau has officially called it a career after the lingering effects of aconcussion never fully went away. He decided to end his 15-yearN-H-L career after failing to receive clearance to play because ofthe concussion.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Reggie Bush may have received plenty of financial support while playing for Southern California. Yahoo-dot-com is reporting that the New Orleans Saints running back and his family appear to have accepted gifts, money and other benefits worth more than 100-thousand dollars from two marketing agents while the Heisman Trophy winner was still in college. The report says Michael Michaels and Mike Ornstein lavished Bush and his family with gifts while he was still at U-S-C, each hoping to entice him to sign with them once he turned pro. Bush eventually chose Ornstein, which caused a falling out between Michaels and Bush's family. Bush's financial situation came into question earlier this year amid reports that his mother and stepfather didn't pay 54-thousand dollars in rent during the year they lived in a house owned by Michaels. Michaels later said the family promised to repay him once Bush went pro. The N-C-A-A prohibits student-athletes and their families from receiving extra benefits from agents or their representatives.
