Open upsets continue stros topple Giants; F six games behind United Press International NEW YORK — Chris Evert Lloyd can be excused if she thinks her task has been made much easier. Evert, the second seed, managed to get by Bonnie Gadusek, 4-6, 6-1, 6-0, in the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open Wednesday. Andrea Jeager, the No. 4 seed, also survived a shaky first set in beating Gretchen Rush of Pittsburgh, 3-6, 6-1, 6-0. But Tracy Austin became the second favorite to fall in the women’s section, as she was toppled by No. 5 Hana Mandlikova, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. The third-seeded and defending cham pion Austin fell prey to the Czechoslava- kian’s aggressive net game and vigorous groundstrokes, the same fate that befell top- seeded Martina Navratilova the day before. “She won it,” Austin said of Mandlikova. “I was disappointed on the way I played the big points because that’s where I think I am the toughest.” While Mandlikova went on to face Pam Shriver — Navratilova’s eliminator — in the semifinals, Evert drew Jaeger and said her match against Gadusek would help her pre pare. “Basically Andrea has the same type of game,” Evert said. “She hits a lot of loopy balls and is very patient.” Rush was not overly disappointed with her peformance at the Open. “I came here as a wild card — and only found out the Tuesday before the tourna ment started,” Rush said. “I hadn’t played tennis the whole week before that and I had a cram session in tennis. Things went my way for a while and I really feel good about the way I played and my results here.” In today’s feature matches, two men’s quarter-final matches were scheduled: No. 2 seed Jimmy Connors against upset- minded Rodney Harmon of Richmond, Va., and, at night, fourth-seeded Guillermo Vilas facing unseeded Tom Gullikson. | United Press International HOUSTON — Rookie Bill pKioran was confident his first ^/jjiajor league RBI would come yentually.

Niekro went the distance, striking out seven and tossing an eight-hitter. “I really struggled most of the first six innings. I had trouble getting my knuckleball where I wanted it. The defense really bailed me out, especially the double play in the fourth by (Dickie) Thon and (Phil) Gar ner,” Niekro said. “The last three innings I was in command of all my pitches. I think I struck out five of the last nine and all but one were on knuckleballs. This has been my best year ever as far as control, consistency and ERA. Even in my two 20-win seasons, I was not as sharp overall.” The loss broke a five-game winning streak from San Fran cisco, which has won 23 games this year coming from behind in the last three innings. “We can afford to lose our momentum. Nobody really con siders us still a serious threat. But we’re still only six games out,” second baseman Joe Mor gan said. “I believe we would have come back, that’s our style.” The Astros took a 1-0 lead in the second. Garner led off with a single but was picked off by star ter and loser Atlee Hammaker, 9-8, but shortsop Johnny LeMaster dropped the relay throw at second. Doran then doubled Garner home. Houston took a 2-0 lead in the fifth when Doran drew a one- out walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch, went to third on an infield hit by Luis Pujols and scored on a sacrifice fly by Niekro. ;spit« i THE HAIR DEN 111 EHLINGER DR. 775-0719 “The Small Shop With Small Prices” Check Our Everyday Low Prices!
