McEnroe
returns to
old form
STRATTON MOUNTAIN, Vt.
(AP) — The real John McEnroe re
turned Thursday, showing flashes of
brilliant tennis and displaying fits of
temper.
Playing in his first tournament of
1986, McEnroe dispatched doubles
partner Peter Fleming 6-1, 6-4 as
rain repeatedly interrupted play at
the $315,000 Volvo International
tournament.
The match, which was halted by
rain Wednesday after five points
had been played, was scheduled to
begin at 10 a.m. Thursday. But be
cause of scattered downpours,
McEnroe and Fleming didn’t walk
onto the court until 11 a.m.
Before they could begin their
warmup, another downpour sent
the players back to the dressing
room and the match didn’t start un
til 12:25 p.m.
McEnroe, not playing the tenta
tive game he displayed in his open
ing game round, ripped through the
last six games to grab the first set,
breaking Fleming’s service in the
third, fifth and seventh games.
On the first set point, McEnroe’s
forehand half-volley was called long,
and the left-hander disputed the
call. It was not a protracted dispute,
but it was a harbinger of things to
come on a day that saw lightning
briefly cut off electricity in the area,
only to be followed by brilliant, hot
sunshine.
McEnroe began the second set
with a beautiful backhand passing
shot down the line to grab a 15-0
lead. His next serve was a fault, then
the rain returned.
After another delay, the pair re
turned to court and played two more
games before another downpour in
terrupted play.
When the match resumed this time,
it was a different McEnroe that took
the court, one that more resembled
the frustrated player that decided in
January to take a self-imposed sab
batical from the sport.
His game lacked the sparkle he
had displayed earlier in the day. He
complained over a baseline call and
later spat in the direction of the line
judge.
“Come on, McEnroe, you’ve got
one baby at home already,” someone
in the crowd at the Green Mountain
resort yelled.
After the opening point of the 10th
game, a telephone began ringing in
a television booth high at one end of
the stadium court.
“It’s the National Enquirer,”
McEnroe said, referring to the na
tional tabloid with which he has had
a running feud.
Three points later, McEnroe had
broken Fleming’s service at love and
completed the victory.
Walker intends to join
Dallas, ‘play with best!
NEW YORK (AP) — Herschel
Walker, declaring “I’m a football
player and I want to play foot
ball,” announced Thursday that
he was leaving the dormant USFL
to begin negotiations with the
NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
While the fate of the USFL’s
other 400 players was being de
cided at a meeting with players
union officials in Washington, the
league’s most visible star was tell
ing reporters that he had been
given his release by New Jersey
Generals owner Donald Trump
and was ready to join the Cow
boys.
The running back’s agent,
Peter Johnson, said talks would
begin next week with Dallas,
which drafted Walker on the fifth
round of the 1985 NFL draft.
Walker, the 1982 Heisman
Trophy winner, brought the
USFL instant recognition when
he signed with the Generals fol
lowing his junior year at Georgia.
In 1985, his third season with the
team, he rushed for an all-time
professional record of 2,411
yards.

But then the USFL won only
$3 in its antitrust suit against the
NIL and decided to scrap its first
fall season and remain idle for
the second straight year. And
Trump announced Wednesday
that he would release any player
who asked him, including Walker
and quarterbacks Jim Kelly and
Doug Flutie.
That made Walker’s decision
to jump to the NFL seem inevi
table although Walker had sug
gested he might go intothet
estate business with Trump,*
whom he holds a personah
ices contract.

Sherrard inks with Cowboy
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.
(AP) — Mike Sherrard, the Dallas
Cowboys’ first-round draft pick,
signed a four-year contract with
the NFL team Thursday after a
“caffeine-assisted negotiation,”
his agent said.
The contract, hammered out
on Sherrard’s 32nd day as a hold
out, reportedly is worth about
$ 1.5 million.
Leigh Steinberg, Sherrard’s
agent, said he, Sherrard and
Cowboys vice president Joe Bai
ley worked out the contract in a
“caffeine-assisted negotiation that
burned the midnight oil” late
Wednesday night and early
Thursday morning.
“I was getting anxious and I’m
actually looking forward to prac
tice. I think I’ll be able to contrib
ute with my deep speed,” Sher
rard, a former UCLA wide
receiver, said. “I know guys have
been working out for five weeks
and I’ll be willing to put in extra
time if I have to. I’ve been work
ing out with some guys at
UCLA.”
The announcement of his sign
ing came about 2 p.m. PDT
Thursday at a press conference
“/ don't know how well
Fm going to adjust to the
NFL. but I always thought
deep down that things
would work out with the
Cowboys. ”
—Mike Sherrard,
New Cowboy receiver
with Sherrard and his agent at
the Cowboys’ training camp in
Thousand Oaks, Calif..
“I don’t know how well I’m
going to adjust to the NFL, but I
always thought deep down that
things would work out with the
Cowboys,” Sherrard said.
Offers from the Arizona Out
laws of the USFL were mentioned
repeatedly throughout the past
several weeks, but during it all,
Sherrard continued to say he
wanted to play with the Cowboys.
He worked out a month with
Cowboys pass coordinator Paul
Hackett before serious negotia
tions even began.
The importance of getn-J
Sherrard into camp grew whal
veteran wide receiver Miif[
Renfro suffered a separa!:j
shoulder in the Cowboys’ exhil
tion game against the ChiG;:|
Bears in London last Sundaif
Renfro will he out four to i
weeks.
With Renf ro out, Cowbojs
head coach Tom Landry said,I
Sherrard has an opportunity 101
move quickly into the lineup.
“Obviously, there’s a betittl
chance, now even though htisl
coming late. He had beenavtn
dedicated guy in our offseason)
program,” Landry said.
Steinberg said Sherrard has]
been working out daily at UCLA
and is in “excellent shape."
Steinberg said neither the
USFL’s suspension of play nor
Renfro’s injury had an effect on
the negotiations.
“Joe (Bailey) never referred to
the death of the USFL, and 1
never referred to the status of
the Dallas receiving corps,” Stein
berg said.
Landry said he's preparing

Norman’s 65 provides 2-shot cushion at PGA
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Greg
Norman continued his summer-long
blitz with a 6-under-par 65 on a rain-
softened course and established a
two-stroke lead Thursday in the first
round of the 68th PGA National
Championship.
The Inverness course, which did
not yield a subpar 72-hole score the
four times it played host to the U.S.
Open, was stripped of its defenses by
an inch of overnight rain.
“The golf course played about
four shots easier” than in practice
rounds when the tiny greens were
extremely firm and hard to hold,
Norman said.
“The course was set up to play
tough, but with the rain you could
hit it at the flag instead of playing it
short and trying to run it on the
green.”
Others found it not quite so easy,
however.
There was Jack Nicklaus, for ex
ample. The 46-year-old Masters
champion had it three under par at
one point and was striding confi
dently toward a position among the
leaders until he went bogey-bogey
on the 16th and 17th, angrily slap
ping the enlarged head of his putter
at one point.
Nicklaus, gunning for a record
sixth PGA championship, Finished
with a 70.
“Sure, I’m disappointed,’’he
“I’m disappointed at making!
two bogeys. If I weren't dia|
pointed, I shouldn’t be playing."
Still, he was two strokes bttt
than Tom Watson, whosoanxioi
eagerly seeks this, the one
needs to complete a career sweep

ships, a quartet which also

Observers skeptical of Carlton’s retirement
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Steve Carlton may
not be keeping batters guessing any longer, but
the silent pitcher’s sudden departure from the
San Francisco Giants left baseball observers won
dering if his retirement is permanent.
Carlton, the 10th winningeSt pitcher in major-
league history and the dominant left-hander of
his time, did nothing to dispel the aura of mys
tery that surrounded him right to the apparent
end of a 22-year career.
His only comment came in a statement the Gi
ants released Wednesday in which he said: “I’ve
decided it’s in the best interests of everyone in
volved to announce my retirement at this time.”
In the statement, Carlton thanked the Giants’
management and fans, and said he realizes the
club is committed to its young pitchers. But Carl
ton did not mention future plans or expand on
his retirement decision. He declined to res|
when asked by a reporter later if he hopeslopi
sue a comeback with another team.
Giants President Al Rosen called Carltonin
a Wednesday morning meeting after the
National League All-Star had been shelled
Cincinnati the night before in an 11-6 loss,
said Carlton’s decision to quit was “the grad
way to do it.”
Orioles' dual grand slams fall
short in wild loss to Rangers
845-2611
BALTIMORE (AP) — Two grand
slam home runs in the same inning
weren’t enough to carry the Balti
more Orioles to victory over the
Texas Rangers, but Orioles’ man
ager Earl Weaver appeared to take
the loss in stride.
“It’s just like a 1-0 loss, look in the
paper; one more loss,” said Weaver
after the Orioles surrendered a five-
run lead and lost the Wednesday
night game 13-11.
Texas’ Toby Harrah hit a bases-
loaded homer in the second inning
before Larry Sheets and Jim Dwyer
connected for grand slams in Balti
more’s nine-run fourth inning. The
three slams set a major league re
cord.
The Rangers, however, took the
lead with six runs in the eighth in
ning, and went on to claim the vic
tory.
The bases-loaded homers weren’t.
the only unusual goings-on at the
ballpark, however. The game started
more than one hour late because of
rain, and during the delay, Balti
more catcher Rick Dempsey enter
tained the crowd by pantomiming to
songs played over the public address
system.
During the eighth inning, action
stopped when a cat ran onto the
field. The feline made two attempts
to jump over a fence, then tried to
clear a tarpaulin before retreating to
the Orioles’ dugout.
In addition to losing the game, the
Orioles learned that Don Aase, the
leading relief pitcher in the major
leagues with 28 saves, had a strained
back. Aase, bothered by a tender el
bow in his last two appearances,
twisted his back Wednesday while
picking up his infant daughter and
was unavailable in the bullpen dur
ing the game.
