LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals won a remarkable World Series they weren't even supposed to reach, beating the Texas Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 on Friday night with another key hit by hometown star David Freese and six gutty innings from Chris Carpen- ter. A day after an epic Game 6 that saw them twice with- in one strike of elimination, the Cardinals captured their 11th World Series crown. After a whole fall on the edge, Tony La Russa's team didn't dare mess with Texas, or any more drama. Freese's two-run double tied it in the first inning against loser Matt Harrison and Allen Craig hit a go- ahead homer in the third. Pitching on short rest, Carpenter improved to 2-0 in the Series and 4-0 in the postseason. La Russa won his third Series title.

NBAcancels all games through November NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA will play a shortened season — if it plays at all — after negotiations to end the lockout again stalled over how to divide the league's revenue. Commissioner David Stern canceled all November games on Friday, the 120th day of the lockout. ''It's not practical, possible or prudent to have a full season now,'' said Stern, who pre- viously canceled the first two weeks of the season. And he repeated his warnings that the offers players have rejected might now get even harsher as the league tries to make up the millions of dollars that will be lost. ''We're going to have to recalculate how bad the damage is,'' Stern said. ''The next offer will reflect the extraordinary losses that are piling up now.'' Just a day earlier, Stern had said he would consider it a failure if the two sides didn't reach a deal in the next few days and vowed they would take ''one heck of a shot'' to get it done. Although they've narrowed the issues between them to just a handful, the division of revenues remains a huge obstacle. Owners are insistent on a 50-50 split, while players last formally proposed they get 52.5 percent, leaving them about $100 mil- lion apart annually. Players were guaranteed 57 percent in the previous collective bargain- ing agreement. ''Derek (Fisher) and I made it clear that we could not take the 50-50 deal to our member- ship. Not with all the concessions that we granted,'' union executive director Billy Hunter said. ''We said we got to have some dollars.'' Instead, they'll now be out roughly $350 million, the losses Hunter previously project- ed for each month the players were locked out. He hoped a full season could be played if a deal were made this weekend, but Stern emphatically ruled out any hope of that now. ''These are not punitive announcements; these are calendar generated announce- ments,'' Stern said. No further talks have been scheduled. After two days of making some progress on salary cap issues, the two sides brought the revenue split back into the discussion Friday and promptly got stuck on both issues. Stern said the NBA owners were ''will- ing'' to go to 50 percent. But he said Hunter was unwilling to ''go a penny below 52,'' that he had been getting many calls from agents and then closed up his book and walked out of the room. Hunter said the league initially moved its target down to 47 percent during Friday's six- hour session, then returned to its previous proposal of 50 percent of revenues. ''We made a lot of concessions, but unfor- tunately at this time it's not enough, and we're not prepared or unable at this time to move any further,'' Hunter said. See NBA, page 2B Spartans sports faring well CROSS COUNTRY The Spartan cross country team faced off against the Lassen Griz- zlies at the Susanville Ranch Park course Wednesday. The temperature, in the fifties, felt much colder with the help of the north wind. It was the second race, at a higher elevation than the Spartans are used to running in, during the school's Homecoming week. Red Bluff varsity boys beat Lassen by one point. Eric Espinosa ran a gutsy race leading the entire way. "Eric ran extremely tough. He held nothing back and attacked the unfamiliar course," Coach Wes Hendricks said. "All of our ath- letes rose to the challenges of this grueling week and Lassen's course." Spartan varsity boys benefitted from Eric Espinosa, Jacobe Con- rad, Jordan McManus, Aza Bravo, and Grey Grotke all finishing in the Top 10. The varsity Lady Spartans, led by the first place finish of Sofia Oropeza, beat the Lady Grizzlies 19-36. Oropeza passed the lead Lassen runner late in the race. Her perfor- mance was made even more impressive since she was battling a stubborn cold. Only one Grizzly made it into the Top 5 of the Spartans. Freshman Claire Lester has emerged as a strong varsity runner. She finished second for the Spar- tans and third in the contest. Both Red Bluff varsity teams go into next week's league final with only one loss.

Homecoming week is crazy enough without two long road trips and mountainous race courses. These kids have given everything and a little more," Hen- dricks said.

GOLF On the last day that they could, the Lady Spartans qualified for the Section Championships, by firing a 265 at the Eastern Athletic League finals at Bidwell Park. Red Bluff finished the season in fifth place in the EAL, during the school's first year back with a girls golf program. Madison Shea led Red Bluff with a 98. SOCCER With a game pending Friday afternoon against Paradise, the Red Bluff Spartans soccer team was poised to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2007. The Spartans would likely play top-seeded and nationally ranked Shasta in Redding at 6 p.m. SWIMMING A young Red Bluff swim team fared well, Thursday, at the NSCIF Division I Championship. The Lady Spartans finished fourth and the boys placed fifth. Chico won the girls' champi- onship, while Pleasant Valley took the boys' title. Twelve Spartans earned the right to move on to the Masters swim meet — Jolene Donaldson, Erin Fennel, Sosanna O'Sullivan, Sama- ra Robinson, Nicole Sauve Laura Schreter, Amy Shoff and Mayson Trujillo from the girls team and Josh Jackson, Jordan Johnson, Eddie Samay and Curtis Twitchell form the boys team. The Lady Spartans 200 freestyle relay team just missed out on a school record. Schreter, Trujillo, Sauve and Robinson placed third with a time of 1:54.46. The team is made up of a freshman, two sophomores and a junior. Three more Spartan relay teams placed fourth as the same girls team was fourth in the 400 freestyle. Samay, Twitchell, Jackson and Johnson were fourth in both the 200 and 400 boys freestyle relays. Twitchell continued his strong season, improving his placings from the Eastern Athletic League meet. He was second in the 100 freestyle (51.98) and third in the 50 freestyle (23.65). Schreter placed fourth in the 50 freestyle (28.21), Jackson was fifth in the 100 fly (1:05.17) and Johnson took fifth in the 500 freestyle (5:32.10).
