The Braves did not have a

Jimbo after Wimbledon title
Connors, Masur play today
United Press International
WIMBLEDON, England —
Jimmy Connors continues his
bid for a second successive
Wimbledon title today when he
faces 20-year-old Ausralian
Wally Masur, a product of a
nationwide plan designed to put
Australian tennis back on the
map.
Although Australian stand
ing in world tennis has dipped
since the 1950s and 1960s, a new
wave of promising youngsters is
emerging. Pat Cash, Craig Mil
ler, John Fitzgerald and Masur
are all still in contention,
although Masur’s tenure in this
year’s tournament seems sure to
end on the center court when he
faces the No. 1 seed Wednesday.
While Connors should be
claiming a third-round place, his
main rival for the singles title,
No. 2 seed John McEnroe, will
be playing a doubles match.
McEnroe teamed with Peter
Fleming in first-round action
against Britain’s Chris Bradnam
and David Lloyd.
McEnroe renews his quest for
the singles crown Thursday
when he faces Florin Segar-
ceanu of Romania. Fleming will
be coming to the doubles action
after a second round encounter
in the singles with Nduka Odi-
zor, the unranked Nigerian who
Monday shocked fourth-seeded
Guillermo Vilas of Argentina.
Third-seeded Ivan Lendl of
Czechoslovakia is idle, and with
Vilas now a spectator, No. 5
Mats Wilander of Sweden is the
next highest ranking player in
action.
Wilander frittered away a
two-set advantage over John
Fitzgerald of Australia Tuesday
night, wasting five match points
and allowing the 22-year-old to
even the match at two sets
apiece.
In women’s play, Chris Evert
Lloyd, seeded to meet Martina
Navratilova in a repeat of last
year’s final, should not be undu
ly troubled by Marcella Mesker
of Holland, especially if she re
produces the form that brought
her a 6-2, 6-1 victory Tuesday
over fellow American Alycia
Moure.
Third-seeded Andrea Jaeger,
who won, 6-1,7-6, against Susan
Rimes, faces another American,
Pam Casale.
There was not much in the
way of surprises Tuesday
although two of the high-
ranking women’s seeds dropped
out of contention. Fourth-
seeded Tracy Austin withdrew
with a pulled shoulder muscle : —
she is still troubled by a chronic
bad back — and sixth-seeded
Bettina Bunge of West Germany
was eliminated by Switzerland’s
Christiane Jolissaint. Otherwise,
matters proceeded very much to
form.
Navratilova fashioned a 6-1,
6-0 demolition of South African
Beverly Mould, conceding only
17 points as she bombarded her
opponent with strong volleys. In
men’s play, Lendl joined Con
nors and McEnroe in the second
round, carving out a 7-6,6-1,6-0
victory over South African Ber-
nie Mitton in one hour and 37
minutes.
Eighth-seeded Vitas Geru-
laitis had to struggle to avoid be
coming the fourth men’s seed to
lose. Two others —Jimmy Arias
and Gene Mayer — previously
withdrew. Gerulaitis edged di-
minuative Ramesh Krishnan of
India, 5-7, 7-5, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3.

The most unusual sight on
the courts was that of American
Trey Waltke playing in long
trousers against the 1972 cham
pion, compatriot Stan Smith.
Waltke reached the second
round when Smith withdrew be
cause of a strained back in the
fifth set.
Prep star gearing up to better
‘unbreakable’ shot-put record
United Press International
BOSSIER CITY, La. — Shot-
put champ Arnold Campbell is
competing against his own re
cords, inching closer to a mark
considered by many track au
thorities to be unbreakable.
Campbell, 16, is the top-
ranked prep shot-putter in the
nation and his toss of 71 -10 !/4
with a 12-pound shot is nearly 7
feet farther than any other high
school athlete in the country has
recorded. At the recent
Louisiana Peach Festival meet in
Ruston, he beat his nearest com
petitor by more than 30 feet.
The junior at Airline High
School in Bossier City is a favo
rite in his speciality this weekend
at the U.S. National Junior
Track and Field Championships
at the University of Pennsyl
vania.
The nation’s top high school
and college freshman perfor
mers will be competing in that
meet this Saturday and Sunday,
vying for berths on the U.S. Na
tional Junior team that will com
pete against Canada and Italy
later in the summer.
Campbell will be throwing a
16-pound shot, used by colle
gians, with which his career best
is a mark of 61-5‘A.
“I believe I can reach 62 this
weekend,” he said. “If I do, I’ll
be plenty satisfied. I want to fin
ish first or second in order to
represent our country against
the Canadians and Italians.”
Campbell is spurred by com
ments that he has reached his
potential.
“I had college coaches from
all across the country come up to
me after my freshman year and
said it would be impossible for
me to do much better as I got
older,” he said. “The next year, I
rubbed it off on them. When
somebody tells me I can’t do
something, well, itjust makes me
try that much harder.”
Campbell, who can bench
press 410 pounds, is aiming for
the all-time high school record
of Sl-SVb, set by Dallas’ Michael
Carter four years ago.
a year.
The Globe said discussions
with the New England Patriots
could begin next week when
Rams’ owner Georgia Frontiere
visits Foxboro, Mass., for the de
dication of Sullivan Stadium.
Dickerson played under Pat
riots’ coach Ron Meyer at SMU.
