CALL 845-2611 Trump gives USFL standouts consent to confer with NFL Steve Carlto announces retirement NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump, owner of the USFL New Jer sey Generals, said Wednesday that lie will give Herschel Walker, Jim Kelly and Doug Flutie permission to talk to NFL teams “any time they ask for it.” The three, who have a combined salary of more than $3 million a year, are among the ap proximately 400 play ers whose football fu tures became uncertain this week after the USFL decided not to play the 1986 season. Herschel Walker Future Dallas Cowboy? “While I have a legal right to their services, I don’t think I have a moral right to stand in the way of their careers,” Trump said. “I’d give them permission to talk to them anytime they asked for it.” But there may be more involved than just a release. Flutie, reached in Boston, suggested that he wanted to be sure the $7 million, Five-year personal services contract he signed with Trump would be honored. “As it stands, if I just drop my contract with Donald Trump to sign in the NFL, chances are I’d lose out on a lot of money,” he said. “So that’s a major concern of mine, as well as playing.” Trump’s statement came a day before representa tives of lhe USFL Players Association were to meet in Washington with a committee set up by the league to decide what to do with the players. Flie NFL lias ordered its teams not to talk to USFL players unless they have a clean release from their teams, and USFL teams have been getting calls from agents seeking that release in order to get them into NFL training camps as soon as possible. Some players — the majority have only marginal shots at the NFL — have been seeking to have their 1986 salaries paid by the USFL. Walker, who scheduled a news conference in New York today, and Kelly are among the dozen or so USFL players who NFL scouts think could step right in and play in the NFL. Flutie, the 5-foot-9 quarterback who won the 1984 Heisman Trophy at Boston College, is considered more of a question mark. Walker’s NFL rights belong to Dallas, Kelly’s to Buf falo and Flutie’s to the Los Angeles Rams. Both Walker and Flutie have personal service con tracts with Trump and Walker has said that he would consider dropping football and going into the teal-es tate business with Trump. Dallas in search of receiver THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Alter one exhibition game, Dallas Cowboys pass coordinator Paul Hackett has issued an all-points bul letin. “We need a receiver,” he said. In Sunday’s 17-6 loss to the Chi cago Bears in London, veteran re ceiver Mike Renfro separated his shoulder and will miss at least six weeks. During that game, the Cow boys dropped nine balls, including two in the end zone, a pass was tipped for an interception and fum bled away one reception. To make matters worse, No. 1 draft pick Mike Sherrard, the tal ented receiver from UCLA, still isn’t signed with the season opener only Five weeks away. “This is not to say a Karl Powe or Gordon Banks or (Leon) Gonzalez won’t step in and do the job, but I still think we need to go out and get somebody else,” Hackett said. Cowboys President Tex Schramm said that would be a “precipitous move at this point. Just because of that injury, I don’t think we do any thing special.” Powe, a second-year player from Alabama State, will replace Renfro at the wide receiver spot opposite veteran Tony Hill, said Coach Tom Landry. “It will give him a chance to see what he can do,” Landry told the Dallas Times Herald. “We like what we see,” he said of his receivers. “I feel they Fiave the potential, it’s just they haven’t done it yet.” From the start of training camp, the Cowboys will carry four receivers this year, with Renfro, Sherrard, Hill and Powe the most likely four some, Landry said. But with Renfro injured and Sherrard missing, that creates opportunity for Banks, Gon zalez and Kenny Duckett. The Cowboys got a glance of Powe last season when he made a big third-down catch in the decisive touchdown drive against the New York Giants. Powe returned the fol lowing week with seven receptions for 127 yards against the San Fran cisco 49ers. “I know I can handle it,” Powe said of his promotion to First team for Saturday’s exhibition game at San Diego. “I’m glad they’ve shown this conFidence in me.” Powe’s speed gives the Cowboys a deep threat, something they’ve so rely lacked. Banks played two years with New Orleans and three with the Oakland Invaders of the USFL before signing with the Cowboys last Dec. 5, pri marily to return punts. “I can play,” said Banks, who caught more than 60 passes in each of his three USFL seasons. “I be lieved that when I first came here.” Duckett has the most NFL. experi ence. He has caught 46 passes for 503 yards in three years for the New Orleans Saints.

(AP) — French Open champion Ivan Lendl and Wimbledon king Bo ris Becker advanced into the third round of the $315,000 Volvo Inter national tennis tournament Wednes day, while ninth-seeded Johan Kriek was upset. Joining Lendl and Becker in the winner’s circle Wednesday were third-seeded Jimmy Connors and No. 6 Mikael Pernfors of Sweden and No. 7 Brad Gilbert. John McEnroe, playing his first tournament since a self-imposed hi atus, met his doubles partner, Peter Fleming, in the day’s final match on the stadium court. McEnroe, who won this Nabisco Grand Prix hard court event last year, is seeded fourth in the 64-player field. Lendl had no problems disposing of South Africa’s Barry Moir 6-1, 6- 2; Becker escaped an upset bid by Ken Flach 6-4, 6-7, 6-4; Connors stopped Brad Pearce 6-4, 6-3; Pern fors eliminated Gary Donnelly 3-6, 6-3, 6-4; and Gilbert defeated Mar cel Freeman 3-6, 6-2, 6-0. “At the end, it counts only if you win or lose,” Becker said after he struggled to victory over Flach, a member of the United States Davis Cup squad and a doubles specialist. The 18-year-old West German lost the second-set tiebreak 7-5 and had a 5-1 lead in the third set before Flach won three straight games, stav ing off one match point. Asked about his thirdu comeback, which fell short "Ik Becker held his service at 30inti 10th game, Flach said: “I didn't*! to lose 6-1 in the third setj sounds much better.” “Today I was prepared to give Bo rn,” Flach said. “I ris a tough match,” Flach said.

Norman, Watson anxious to win PGA Nationa TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Greg Norman, the outstanding player in golf for the past few months, and Tom Watson, hungry for a piece of history, are the principal Figures going into to day’s start of the 68th PGA National Championship. “He could have won all three (of the year’s previous) majors,” Watson said of Norman. “Since April, he’s put himself above everyone else,” said Ray Floyd, the current U.S. Open champion and twice a winner of this tournament. In his last nine starts, Norman has won three times, including the British'Open, and finished second in three others, including the Masters. He led through three rounds of the U.S. Open and last week missed a position in a playoff by a single stroke. In the nine-tournament stretch, the Australian has won $637,000 and established a single-season money-winning record for the PGA Tour. And the man who is an overwhelming favorite in the last of the season’s four major tests of golf ing greatness, fully expects to expand that record in the three American tournaments remaining on his schedule this year. “My target is $750,000,” he said. “To get there, I’m going to have to play awfully well the next three weeks.” Watson, however, could have something to say about Norman’s quest for the winner’s share of $140,000 from the total purse of $80 fered in this event. “This is the most important tournamentii world to me,” said Watson, once the doitif player in the game but now trying tofighthii out of a two-year non-winning string. The five-time British Open champion 1982 U.S. Open winner, and twice a Was champion, Watson needs this title to join Nicklaus, Gary Player, Gene Sarazen and Hogan as the only men to sweep pro golfs® events. “To get this one would round thingsoul put me on a level I haven’t reached," W said. “It’s something I want to accomplish. Mets could release Foster qi i h; S F CHICAGO (AP) — The New York Mets will ask waivers on slug ger George Foster for the purpose of giving the outfielder his uncondi tional release, the team announced Wednesday. Mets General Manager Frank Cashen said the club would officially ask waivers on today. Foster, 37, ranks 37th on the all- time home run list with 347. But Foster was batting only .228 this sea son and had recently lost his starting left field position to rookie Kevin Mitchell. Earlier this week, Foster said he thought his benching was racially motivated. The Mets vehemently denied the accusation, with Cashen saying he would not “dignify” the remark with a comment. In Wednesday’s 7-6 victory over the Cubs in 12 innings in the first game of a doubleheader, Foster struck out as a pinch-hitter on three pitches. Foster left the ballpark be fore the second game was suspended after seven innings because ui dark ness. To replace Foster's spot on the roster, the Mets purchased the con tract of Lee Mazzilli from their Class AAA Tidewater team. Mazzilli, 31, was signed by the Mets last week af ter being released by Pittsburgh. Mazzilli was an All-Star outfielder with the Mets in 1979. Both Foster and Mitchell are black. Mazzilli is white. Cashen said the move to waive Foster was “being made to strengthen the club and hopefully for things we would like to achieve in October.” “It’s never easy to say goodbye,” Cashen said, “and when the player in question is one of the stars of the sport, it’s doubly difficult.” Foster, who began his career with San Francisco in 1969, enjoyed his most productive seasons with Cin cinnati during “The Big Red Ma chine” days of the 1970s. He was a five-time All-Star with the Reds and helped them to World Series victo ries in 1975 and 1976.
