Lloyd sets U.S. Open record
Second seed reaches quarterfinals for 16th straight year
United Press International
NEW YORK — Chris Evert Lloyd, insisting that when she plays well she is better than ever, reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open for a record 10th successive year yesterday with a three-seat victory over Swede Catarina Lindow.
Top seeds Ivan Lendl and Martina Navratilova also succeeded, both winning fourth-round contests in straight sets.
Evert Lloyd, a six-time Open champion, was extended for the first time in the tournament before subduing Lindqvist, the 14th seed. 6.2, 2.6, 6.2
"I feel like when I'm playing well, I'm playing better than ever," said Evert Lloyd, the No. 2 seed. "I have more bad days, but I’ve been known
or my consistency so if I have one day in a week where I'm not playing up to pat, that's a lot for me."
Lendl shook off a sluggish start to overwhelm Brad Gilbert 7.5, 6.1, 6.2 Navratilova, although broken twice, still had little trouble beating 16-year-old Gabriela Sabatini 6.4, 6.2
No. 3 Steffi Graf, after conceding only three games in three previous matches, also was extended to three sets before beating Raffaella Reggi of Italy 6-1, 3-6, 6-0.
After Sunday's program of surprises that included the dismissals of Jimmy Connors and Anders Jarryd by little-known players, the Labor Day program was far more organized.
Advancing to the quarterfinals in the women's draw along with Ewert Lloyd, Navratlova and Graf were
No. 7 Helena Sukova, No. 8 Bonnie Gadusek and No. 9 Manuela Maleeva.
Lindquist was guilty of four consecutive errors, allowing Evert Lloyd to open the final set with a break, and the American raced to a 4-0 lead. For the match, Lindquist made only 42 percent of her first serves to 72 percent for Evert Lloyd.
Gilbert, the 15th seed, played Lendl tough in the open set, breaking serve in the seventh game. But Lendl made the key break in the 12th game with a backhand service return and was not troubled after that.
Navratrila swept the first four games, yielding only three points, providing her enough of a cushion to run out the first set after Sabatini won three games in a row.
Sports Briefs Hawks work on conditioning special teams play in practices
Kansas football head coach Bob Valesente stressed conditioning and special teams play in the Jayhawks' last day of two-a-day practices yesterday.
"I was real pleased with the play of our special teams and kickers today." Valesente said after the afternoon practice.
Chase Van Dyne, Mac Smith, Louis Klemp and Gregg Robisch are battling to replace last year's place kicker Jeff Johnson.
Valesente said that the team was beginning to play better and that it would be ready in two weeks for the opening game, Sept. 13 against North Carolina.
KC activates Saberhagen, Law
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bret Saberhagen, who won the American League Cy Young Award last year, was taken off the disabled list yesterday, the Kansas City Royals announced.
Sabernhagen was eligible to come off the 21-day disabled list Sunday. He last pitched Aug. 8 but lasted only $1\%$ innings against the New York Yankees before muscle inflammation in his right shoulder caused him to leave the game.
Saberhagen, who was 20-6 with a 2.87 ERA in 1985, is 6-10 with a 4.10 ERA this year.
The Royals also activated outfielder Rudy Law, who had been disabled since July 4. Law underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He was hitting .264 after appearing in 66 games before the knee injury forced him from the lineup.

Tuggle, a former University of California star, died Saturday at the American Blogic Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, where he underwent laetrile-like cancer treatments not yet approved in the United States.
From staff and wire reports
Houston Astros must beat injuries to win division title
United Press International
HOUSTON — The Houston Astros entered September with a seven-game lead in the National League over Cincinnati, an eight-game lead over San Francisco and a few nugging problems.
First baseman Glenn Davis, who leads the team in home runs and runs batted in, suffered a pinched nerve in his lower back before Sunday's game with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Davis aggravated the injury during the game and will remain in Houston for X-rays while the club is in Chicago.
Second baseman Bill Doran suffered a slight groin pull. 19 in Pittsburgh and missed seven of the
next 10 games. Doran aggravated the injury Aug. 26 and was forced to miss the weekend series with Fitsburgh.
"If there is a good time to have injuries, I guess now is the time," Astros Manager Hal Lanier said Sunday. "I guess September is a good time because you can call some people up. We're fortunate we can call up some people with major league experience.
"If you have someone who's going to miss three or four games, September is a good time to do it. Otherwise, you'd have to put them on a 15-day disabled list."
Houston struggled through a 3-3 homestand with the Cubs and Pirates, and must play 17 of its final
32 games on the road.
"The race isn't over." Lanier said. "There's a lot of games left. We're still seven games up, and we just have to go out and play the brand of baseball we played through the first five months of the season. I don't see any problem in doing that, and I think the ballclub should just be concerned with what the Astros do and no one else."
Mike Scott and Bob Knepper are first and second in the majors in innings pitched, but they seem to beiring. Scott leads the majors in strikeouts with 241, but has had only eight in his last two appearances. Knepper has failed three times to collect his 16th victory.
"I think we have enough days off the rest of the season that we can stretch them out a little bit," Lanier said. "We've been pitching them every fifth day, but with the schedule we have remaining, we can pitch Mike once on the sixth day, and Bob once on the sixth day."
"Plus if we can get some runs for them early, you might make a switch after the sixth or seventh inning that's if we have a big enough lead."
We should be able to do that with the bullpen that we have."
Houston lost four of six games to the Pirates in the Astrodome. Pittsburgh, the first team in the majors to be eliminated from a pennant race, is the only team to take two series from Houston at home.
The Astros committed seven errors in the three-game series with the Pirates, including three on run-
downs, and the shoddy fielding concerns Lanier.
"I don't like to see the ballclub play that badly fundamentally, and that's what we did the last three ball games," he said. "We haven't done that all season. Every ballclub goes through a period like this. We're no different from anybody else.
"We're going to make mistakes and have bad games, but that's a part of the game.
