Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, TC: (LA2) LOS ANGELES, July 1 - PARKER TURNS SHY AT THE PLATE -- When exotic dancer Morganna Roberts came \ running out of the stands to kiss Los Angeles Dodgers Wes Parker when he came to the plate Tuesday \ night, Parker turned shy and headed for centerfield. Parker got as far as the infield dirt when \ Houston Astros third baseman Doug Rader (2) joined Miss Roberts' chase and held Parker while she \ planted a kiss on his cheek. Parker blushed and returned to the plate while Miss Roberts was \ escorted off the field. She has been seen on the field this year in Washington D.C., Atlanta \ and Anaheim, under similar circumstances. (AP Wirephoto) (See Sports Wire Story) (hh40200str/hpm) 70
