4 Tuesday, June 21, 1977 University Daily Kansan Tanner loses British match By MORLEY MYERS UPI Sports Writer WIMBLEDON-Britain's John Lloyd sappled back from a first set passing and upset Rose Tanner, 36, 4-4, 6-4, 8-6, yesterday when the fourth-seeded American was eliminated in the centennial All-England Lawn Tennis Championship in the opening round. A uncle did first service and an inconsistent backhand uninged Tanner, a soupaw from Lookout Mountain, Tenn., and a Wimbledon semifinalist the past two years. After he won the first set, it looked as if he would overwhelm the third-ranked伯恩, an unaused first-court casualism in 1970. and can be handled with 12 acres on the moist grass of the No. 1 court, but Lloyd consistently handled a sliced second service that Tanner could only hit and It turned around suddenly. TANNER WON THE first 12 points of the opening set and served five straight love games to win it 6-3. Lloyd had first service trouble and Tanner whacked winners off his second tries. With Lloyd leading 5-4 in the second set, Tanner went down 0-30 when I loaded his two winnings off a high bouncing second service. A backpass card off Tunner's second service made it 15-40 and Lloyd took the set 6-4 with a carbon copy backhand down the line, again on a measured Lloyd brake Tanner at love in the sixth game of the third set when the American's 140 mile-hour service again went awry and Lloyd int' three Tanner failed to capitalize on his advantage points in the third set and lost 64. Lloyd'd volleys from the net kept Tanner scrambling throughout the final set as the American unsuccessfully tried to groove his first service. He hit a foreheaded floating return of a lob into the net and helplessly watched Lloyd pass him to the baseline off a smash that failed to skid. He volleyed a backhand out at the net after a second service, then pulled back to 90° when Lloyd hit a forehead wide. Lloyd returned his second service low, and Tanner hit a backhand into the cords for the day's first big unset. Temperatures which stayed in the 50s and a chilling north wind kept the number of spectators down to about 22,000—10,000 fewer than the organizers had hoped would celebrate the opening day of their $373,440 centennial tournament. Defending champion Bjorn Bjoer of Sweden opened his campaign for a second title with 6-0, 4-2 victory over Antonio Zagarelli, a powerful but fragile opponent. Playing on a slippery center court, Borg scored with five aces in his first two service games in the first set and got the winning break to 3-2. Borg took the first four games of the second set. The Italian changed his tactics in the third set, coming to the net at every opportunity. He took the first game at love and game, then went with service to the 15th where Zawargeli committed four errors to drop his service to love. BORN THEN SERVED at love for the set and match. The Swede slipped and fell in the ninth game but it did not seem to affect his game. Eight-seeded Vitas Gerulius had too much speed and all-court skill for fellow American Tom Gorman and, won, 6-1, 9-4, 6-3. Only in the second set did things go right for Gorman. He rested the rest of the match slipping by fractions--missing the lines, missing the ball, missing the ball. Mariner hitter slams 4-2 victory on K.C. KANSAS CITY (UPI)—Lee Stanton knuckled in three tries with a pair of singles last night to give the expansion Seattle Mariners a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals in a successful debut in Royals Stadium. Steve Braun doubled in the first imitation and came home on Stanton's first single, Stanton, the Seattle designated hitter, knocked in the final two runs in the eighth after Jose Bazz singled. Dane Meyer walked out and moved into scoring position on an infield out. Braun triumphed in the third to deep left-center and scored the other Seattle run on a sacrifice飞 by Meyer, sending Dennis down to his eighth defeat in 12 decisions. Tom Poumette led off the first inning for the Royals with his first homer of the season, a high shot that barely cleared the right field fence. Hal McRae added another solo shot, his sixth, leading on the eighth. Gary Wheelock went the first five innings to save. The next game hites. Enrique Romero went the final one and two-thirds innings for his third save. Stanton's eighth inning single came after Bazel legged out an infalt hit to lead off and be down.

Stanton then delivered his two-run "The breakfast ride has proved the most popular short of," Wee said. Hal McRae led off the Royals' eighth with his sixth home run. Wheelock, who absorbed a 164 drubbing in his last start against the Royals, gave up on a second-round victory. Aside from Pougette a serious run, the Royals never mounted a serious threat against Wheelock. Darrrell Porter opened the second inning with a single, and Amos Otis drove Jones to the deepest part of center field for the winner, and Frank White bounded to shortstop Craig Reynolds, who made a good play to force Porter at second. Quoette singled to the third but was wiped on in a double play, Pete LaCock opened the next inning with a single, but one out later Oltis lined hard to win. Quoette's half of the ball was halftail to second on a hit-and-run, had no chance to avoid being doubled off first.

Everyone Welcome Squeeze a fruit for Anital --- Green clinches U.S. Open title despite challenges, death threat By BOB GREEN AP Golf Writer The first question to the man who had turned back challenge after challenge in a pressure-packed finish was "Do you consider yourself a winner or a survivor?" "In the U.S. Open," Green calmly responded, "you're always a survivor." TULSA, Okla.—When Hubert Green was ushered into a mass press conference following his U.S. Open victory Sunday, most of the 100 or so newsmen ignored the nine, helmeted, armed police who escorted him. It was goo talk. But it was two-edged, too. He had survived a threat of death, a fact obviously unknown to the questioner. Green didn't mention it and he obviously didn't want to talk about it. "No big deal," he said when the subject came up. He tried, without success, to avoid the situation. "I'd rather not discuss it. Talk to the men in green suits," he said with a nod toward the man. "We don't want to blow this out of proportion and give some turkey, like the chickens we feed." It remained for Sandy Tatum, an official of the U.S. Golf Association (USGA), to give the details. An anonymous telephone call from the U.S. FedEx Corp. FBI, threatening "to shoot Hubile Green." Green's reaction: he continued to play. He and he won and the under most in the league. Tatum said when Key USGA officials were informed of the threat they had to decide whether or not to suspend play and whether or not to tell Green, busily trying to dissuade threats in his drive toward the title he had called "my personal life ambition." "I courage is grace under pressure." "It turns out no one has more courage than I didn't get." Green said, "I just didn't get too close to my caddy and Andy Bean (his playing partner). It was out of my hands. There was nothing I could do about it." tney told him and he played on. It gave Green the most coveted of all the world's golf titles and lifted him from the category into which he had placed himself: "just another good player." He finished out in style, finally sinking a tour-foot put on the final hole for a one-layer When he finally got back to golf and away from the talk of violence Green was asked what effect the Open title would have on his life. "I don't know," he said, "it's too soon. 'I really haven't had the full impact of it, but I do think I will." Martin is still the skipper today, anyway By LARRY PALADINO AP Sports Writer "I just want to do the best I can to live my life with honor and to keep my name clean." Both were achieved, in the highest position possible for all of his life, the day he won the U.S. Open. DETROIT - Fiery Billy Martin of the New York Yankees, who has already had three managerial jobs go down in flames, may be strapping on the parachute again. But he's not ready just yet to bail out—or be pushed out. Following his latest scrape Saturday with high-priced right field Reggie Jackson—an argument which nearly ended in a first fight—during Boston's three-game demolition of the Yankers, runs abounded that Martin's dismissal was imminent. "The last thing I want is for this man to lose his job, honest to God in heaven," Jackson said. "I don't want to see no harm to nobody." Justice can be obtained another way than by putting a black mark on someone." The Yankees said last night they consider nally Martin the best manager in major league. Steinbrenner's appearance in Detroit triggered much of the dismissal talk—but Jenkins has not. "I asked Steinbranner to come here today," Jackson said. "I haven't talked to him all year and I just wanted to clear the air on a few things." "There's nothing happening. Martin hasn't been fired." Steinbrenner said before the Yanks took the field against Mark Fidrich and the Detroit Tigers. But George Steinbrenner, owner of the American League team, denied that his team had won the World Series. Martin has been fired as manager of the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers.
