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.

HOUSTON — Rookie Bill

^/jjiajor league RBI would come
yentually. But for rookie team-
tate Kevin Bass, who had yet to

Joe Niekro’s eight-hitter
gives Houston 8-1 triumph
The Astros won behind the
pitching and hitting of Joe Niek-
ro, 14-10, who has now allowed
just three earned runs in his last
35% innings. 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.
