McEnroe not on best behavior

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) John McEnroe’s promise to behave at Wimbledon has begun to crumble, but the fiesty New Yorker was not alone in displaying temper. Players cursed, threw rackets and complained loudly about the officiating. McEnroe’s outbursts Thursday commanded the greatest attention from the officials and the crowd. His troubles began in the ninth game of his opening set against Romania’s Florin Segarceanu when he doublefaulted one of 10 he had in the match. In disgust with himself, McEnroe swung his racket and knocked a divot out of the billiard table-smooth court. He replaced the divot and smoothed it with his shoe. Umpire Malcolm Huntington waited until McEnroe had completed his task, then announced, “Warning, Mr. McEnroe. Abuse of equipment.” Later, McEnroe requested and got tournament referee Alan Mills and Volvo Grand Prix supervisor Kurt Nielsen to come onto the court after he had been called for his third foot fault. Following a long argument the match was resumed. Then, in the third set, after Segarceanu hit a beautiful passing shot, McEnroe hit the

ball into the net. Huntington assessed a penalty point against McEnroe for “abuse of ball.” Again Mills and Nielsen walked onto the court. “If you are going to penalize me on technicalities, I’ll walk off,” McEnroe threatened. Later he said, “I was serious in what I said, in the sense that if they continue to make unfair decisions I will not continue in the match.” This time, McEnroe emerged the winner. McEnroe, fined and reprimanded for his abuse of officials here in 1981 when he won the title, said last week he would turn over a new leaf for this tournament. “No bombs will fall on me,” he said. McEnroe defeated Segarceanu 4-6,6-2,6-3,6-3. Rumblings of discontent also were evident in the match between Australian Mark Edmondson and Vitas Gerulaitis a match in which Edmondson upset the eighth-seeded American 7-6, 7-5, 7-5. Edmondson was warned for using obscenity when he questioned a call in the tfiird set and, as the match ended, Gerulaitis, ousted for the second year in a row by Edmondson, threw his racket to the ground.

sights on Terre Haute North

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Muncie North started the 1983 baseball tournament four games under .500. But Coach Don Fields’ Titans have survived six games as underdogs so far, and they’re looking for two more victories, starting tonight. “It’s gratifying, because we have progressed all year,” says Fields, the only baseball coach in North’s 13-year history. The Titans’ only other appearance in the state finals was in 1980, when they lost 1-0 to DeKalb in eight innings. “This group has been a little more hectic than 1980 team,” said Fields. “We’ve made a few more mistakes than in the past, but we’ve gotten better as we went along.” Muncie North, now 13-11, plays Terre Haute North (24-5) in the first semifinal game tonight at Indianapolis Bush Stadium. Fort Waynthrop (25-8) takes on Evansville Memorial (24-5) in the second game, and the two winners return Saturday (1 p.m., EST) for the state championship. “I guess you’d have to say

Holmes asking for title against Page

NEW YORK (AP) - The World Boxing Council is telling Larry Holmes he must sign for a mandatory defense of the World Boxing Council heavyweight championship, and Holmes is saying he will agree to such a fight... when he feels the money is right. Promoter Don King contends Holmes has signed to defend against No. 1-ranked Greg Page for $2.55 million. No way, says Holmes. Yes, he says, he signed an agreement to fight Page, but undecided are the date, site and the purse. King, who has promoted 15 of Holmes’ 16 title fights in a 43-0 pro career, said Thursday that the contract calls for Holmes to get $2.55 million, which is the figure he suggested. The figure he is suggesting, Holmes said by telephone from his home of Easton, Pa., is $5 million and the figure King has mentioned is $2.25 million. The fight, not the purse, is what the WBC seems to be interested in. Charles Spaziani, Holmes’ attorney, said that Holmes had received a letter from an attorney representing the WBC, stating Holmes had 30 days to sign for a defense against Page. Failure to make a mandatory defense within a prescribed

that we’ve been underdogs ... and we won’t be the favorites,” admits Fields. And Terre Haute North Coach Don Jennings, who guided the Patriots to the 1974 state crown, says, “We’re coming to Indianapolis with the intent of winning it all. Last year was the fourth time we made it to the semistate final and lost. We didn’t want that to happen again. I really think this is a group of kids who can get the job done.” The Patriots have the besthitting team in the Final Four. Six starters are over .300 including shortstop Danny Roman at .417 and catcher Mark Mayfield at .392 —and the entire team has combined for 32 home runs. The starting pitcher will be Danny Nevins, who is 102 for the year. Fields is impressed with Terre Haute’s power, but not overly worried. “We have a pitcher, Mark Taylor, who we feel can beat anyone if we play defense for him,” the Muncie coach says. “After that, we’re a little thin (in pitching), but we can’t

time can result in title recognition being withdrawn. The letter from attorney Robert F. Marshall of a Los Angeles law firm was dated June 15 and was received June 21, Spaziani said. He added that he assumed the 3(Hiay period began on the date the letter was received. The problems, Spaziani said in letter to Marshall, is not Holmes not wanting to fight Page. “We are waiting for negotiations on the purse,” said Spaziani. Holmes said he agreed to fight Page even before he beat Lucien Rodriguez last March 27. Since that fight, Holmes kept the title on a 12-round split decision over Tim Witherspoon May 20. But, the champion, who has said he will retire this year, wants more than he is being offered to fight the 23-year-old Page, more than the $3.1 million he has been offered to fight 10bout veteran Marvis Frazier. In fact, Holmes, who will be 34 Nov. 3, said he has signed a contract and has received $200,000 in front money to fight Frazier for Murad Muhammad, a New Jersey promoter, and Robert Andreoli, a Providence, R. 1., businessman.

worry about the second game until we win the first.” Taylor is also Muncie’s top hitter with a .452 average. Centerfielder Brennan Baker leads the club with 25 RBI and has a .342 average. Designated hitter Rob Romack bats .310. Evansville Memorial has the most tourney experience of this year’s semifinalists. The Tigers will be making their sixth appearance in the Final Four and have finished second twice in addition to their 1978 championship. Last year, Memorial lost to eventual champion LaPorte in the semifinals. “The fact we were there last year with quite a few of the same kids has to be a plus for us,” says Memorial Coach Quentin Merkel. “Another plus is these guys want to win awfully bad. “We’re a senior club. We lost only three people from last year, and we’re very fortunate in that our pitchers have been there before, especially Jack Lambert, who was our No.l starter all through last year’s tournament.”

Harris homers to key Indians' win

By The Associated Press There was nothing unlucky about the number 13 for the Omaha Royals Thursday night. That’s how many hits they pounded in a 9-0 victory over Oklahoma City that lifted the Royals to within 1% games of first-place Denver in the Western Division. Steve Hammond and Dave Leeper had three hits apiece, while Ron Johnson and Bombo Rivera had two each. Omaha scored five times in the fourth inning, then put the game away with two runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth. Beneficiary of the attack was Frank Wills, who tossed a sixhitter and struck out nine to boost his record to 2-3 as Omaha notched its third straight victory. Elsewhere in the American Association pitching prevailed, as Indianapolis topped Evansville 3-1, Louisville slipped past lowa 2-1 and Wichita was a 2-1 winner over Denver. At Evansville, Indianapolis capitalized on shoddy fielding to best the Triplets. John Harris gave the Indians a 1-0 lead with a fourth-inning homer, and Indy added another in the fifth when Tom Lawless followed a pair of Evansville errors with a RBI single. After the Triplets closed the gap to 2-1
