IWIMBLEDON, England — Poor Jimmy Con-
leased loj^gg. ncc wt)n the singles crown at Wimb-
•li in 800®°° * n 1^74, he has been forced to play a
in wi,ri | 1 PP ort ' n 8 ro ^ c to Sweden’s Bjorn Borg, and last
l' i ih ln ,J earalso to Joh* 1 McEnroe, who squares off today
" l ' 1 1 igainst Australian Rod Frawley in the other men’s
• semifinal.
6 ij?zBTh e odds heavily favor a repeat of last year’s
1 ’ filial between Borg and McEnroe, who last year
iin ar 3 jij n j na t e( j Connors in the semifinals.
d sdoal histor y ant ^ hardheaded bookmakers don’t
all> isciostm^e impression on third-seeded Connors,
»ho displayed his iron determination to regain
-ft eLV the Wimbledon crown when he came back from
P two sets down Tuesday to defeat India’s Vijay
j aciim ritraj and reach the semifinals.
> ongress,aaKT oc } a y ! he has the chance to dethrone Borg,
ut would still have to contend with secondseed
IcEnroe, who should comfortably dispose of un-
Inked Frawley.
1 “If I am to win the tournament, I have to beat
tfonger Bijrg and McEnroe, Connors said. “If I should
Bat Borg and not win the championship it will
idvising no t be good enough.’
and is shiiap, Borg, the 8-11 favorite to take an all-time
jngitwillweconhequaling sixth Wimbledon title, does not
icleoflj underrate the fighting qualities of Connors.
| “Of course I can be beaten at Wimbledon, ”
rgsaid. “A guy can play unbelievably well and
I grass the course of a game can change very
quickly.”
B But Borg has yet to drop a set at this year’s
tournament and when he swept past Australian
Peter McNamara to reach the last four he said, “I
HI have to be at the top of my game to win the
lation.
s so far is
drivingdw
,ng with hie
championship, but I am really motivated now. ’’
The fiery McEnroe has beaten Frawley in both
their previous meetings, but the Australian who
has never played singles on Wimbledon’s Center
Court before, promised to “come out swinging”
and try to upset the New Yorker.
“I haven’t come all this way for nothing,” he
said. “I hope to give him trouble.”
The women’s final Friday will be Chris Evert-
Lloyd’s chance to avenge only her second clay-
court defeat in eight years. She was dumped by
Czechoslovak Hana Mandlikova in the French
Open semifinals earlier this year.
Evert, beaten in the finals for the past three
years, dropped only four games as she swept past
fellow-American Pam Shriver in the semifinals
Wednesday.
Evert said she had not yet thought about the
possibility of losing a fourth Wimbledon final, but
she will have no easy task against Mandlikova,
who displayed her breathtaking talent in dump
ing fellow Prague native Martina Navratilova, 7-
5, 4-6, 6-1.
“Hana’s got every shot in the book, but she’s
moody,” conceded Evert. “At her best, she’s bril
liant.”
On Friday Mandlikova, holder of the Austra
lian and French Open titles, will be watched by
her parents. They are traveling from Prague to
see their daughter play in the Wimbledon final,
the third leg of the “Grand Slam” of the world’s
four major crowns and a dream come true for the
young star.
“Now I am here,” she said. “It is in my head
now I can win big titles, and I can win Wimb
ledon.”
No progress made in talks
United Press International
NEW YORK — Marvin Miller
did not say if he would be present
when representatives of the play
ers and owners meet today in
another attempt to end the major-
league baseball strike but, appa
rently, it doesn’t matter.
After the executive director of
the Major League Players’ Asso
ciation made his first appearance
at the bargaining table since the
strike began June 12, both sides
emerged from a SMs-hour meeting
Wednesday — the first negotia
tions since last Friday — with the
same feeling of futility which has
prevailed since the walkout
began.
The parties remain miles apart
on everything except the belief no
end is in sight to the strike, which
enters it 21st day today. Miller’s
return did little to narrow the
chasm separating the players and
owners.
“Well, the point has been
made,” said Miller. “Some owners
said we could reach a settlement if
they could talk to the players
alone. They did for the last two
weeks and no progress was made.
“The issue is not whether I
attend the meetings. It wouldn’t
have mattered if I was here.”
The issue remains compensa
tion for free agents and the owners
did make a new proposal Wednes
day — one chief owners’ nego
tiator Ray Grebey claimed was a
“significant move” and Miller
termed “outrageous.”
filer must lose weight or pay price
the club’s designated weight will
pay $25 per pound per day, and
he’s likely to be a stickler for the
rules since his predecessor, Bum
Phillips, was fired partly for over
looking such situations and for
allowing his players to discipline
themselves.
Biles said, T saw Angelo the
other day. He’s working out regu
larly and he looks good to me. He
may be a little overweight, but
he’s a huge guy.”
That statement was made be
fore the players took physicals and
were weighed Saturday.
Until then, Fields had not
known his exact weight because
the scale at the team’s practice
field stopped at 300 pounds.
After the weigh-in, Fields said,
“The weight doesn’t bother me.
I’m naturally a big man and I’ve
learned to deal witb it. That’s all it
is. I’m about 30 pounds over right
now, but I’ll be ready for camp. I’ll
be down. Maybe I’ll have to spend
a little bit of money, but I’ll be
down. ’
At his present weight he would
be paying the Oilers $750 a day.
The Oilers are banking heavily
on Fields’ on-field contributions
this season, particularly if the man

SPREADING
THE NEWS
Since 1878
The major feature of the own
ers’ new proposal was a reduction
in the maximum number of pre
mium free agents for whom pro
fessional compensation is neces
sary.
Grebey said the owners feel the
new proposal “addresses itself to
some of the things which are
troubling the players,” and it “cer
tainly shows the owners want to
keep negotiating.” But he con
ceded much more work needs to
be done.
“There are still wide differences
between us,” Grebey said when
asked if he thought progress had
been made. “Who knows?”
Miller was more blunt.
“The gap between us is so great
it defies my vocabulary to describe
it,” he said. “They have revised
their last proposal slightly.”
“This is a plan that is out-

Faster Than Us?”
rageous,” he added, “It assumes
the player is a piece of property.
This proposal ends free agencies
for some players and modifies it
for others. There are some owners
who would break the union.”
Asked what point there was in
continuing the meetings if such a
big gap existed. Miller replied.
“You keep hoping further conver
sations will result in the owners
rethinking the problem. ”
Federal mediator Kenneth
Moffett went so far as to draw hope
from continued meetings.
“We have another meeting
tomorrow,” he said Wednesday.

he replaced last year, Leon Gray,
is slow in regaining his all-pro
form because of an achilles tendon
injury late last year.
Fields, 23, is 6-foot-6, and his
weight fluctuated last season be
tween 305 and 320.
He was the Oilers’ second-
round draft choice in 1980 out of
Michigan State, and at a news con
ference following the draft he de
scribed himself as a junkfood junk
ie. But no more, he said.
‘T’ve cut down a lot on the junk
food and I just eat two meals a
day,” he said. “One of the reasons
I’m overweight is because I’ve
been lifting weights. After I lift
weights. I’ve got a big appetite.”
So he’s cut out that activity, and
now his “usual” breakfast consists
of four eggs, eight strips of bacon
and eight slices of bread.
“I love my bread,” he said.
The first practice Oilers veteran
have to attend — and the first day
Fields may have to pay to play —
is July 23.
