Former tennis

at age of 45
TANK ftFNAMAKA
DALLAS (AP) — Former Wimb
ledon tennis champion Chuck McK
inley died Monday at Baylor Univer
sity Medical Center. He was 45.
Family spokesman George Ribet
said McKinley had been ill for about
15 months and was suffering from a
malignant brain tumor.
McKinley won the men’s single ti
tle at Wimbledon in 1963 and was a
finalist in 1961. He was U.S. Open
doubles champion in 1961, 1963 and
1964 with partner Dennis Ralston.
McKinley won the U.S. Indoor
Singles championship in 1962 and
1964 and was Doubles champion in
1962 and 1964 with Rod Laver and
in 1963 and 1965 with Ralston.
He won the U.S. Clay
Championship in 1962 and 1963
and was the doubles champion in
1961 and 1964 with Ralston.
McKinley, who was a member of
the U.S. Davis Cup team from 1960
to 1965, was inducted into the Ten
nis Hall of Fame last July. He retired
from active tennis in the late 1960s
and worked in the brokerage busi
ness, most recently for Weber Hall
Sale & Associates in Dallas.
He played collegiate tennis at
Trinity University in San Antonio.
McKinley is survived by his wife,
Frances, a daughter and two sons.
A memorial service was scheduled
for Wednesday at Perkins Chapel at
Southern Methodist University.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP)
— A member of the grand jury that
investigated the death of Maryland
basketball All-American Len Bias
said Monday that “the team as a
whole looks pretty clean.”
The juror, who asked not to be
identified, said that “a lot of this
stuff’ about drug use by university
athletes has been blown out of pro
portion.
The comments came after the
grand jury spent the entire day lis
tening to testimony from six of Bias’
teammates.
Jim Spiro, the team manager, was
apparently the only other witness to
show up as the grand jury resumed
deliberations two weeks after it in
dicted three of the people who were
with Bias when he died of cocaine in
toxication in his dormitory room on
June 19. Bias’ death came just two
days after he was selected by the
Boston Celtics as the second player
in the NBA draft.
Several jury members said they
had heard from all six basketball
players but neither the jurors
the players would comment on what
the players talked about during their
testimony.

NEW YORK (AP) — George Foster, released
by the New York Mets last week after being
quoted as saying the team treated blacks differ
ently than whites, said Monday he still might be
with the club if the newspaper story hadn’t ap
peared.
“There’s a good chance I would have stayed,”
Foster said at morning news conference with
Mets General Manager Frank Cashen at Shea
Stadium. “For how long? I don’t know.”
Foster, who Cashen said requested Monday’s
press conference to tell his side of the story, said
he had been aware since spring training that the
Mets were considering a move to remove him
from the roster.
But Foster claimed he was shoved out of the
Mets clubhouse after the story which quoted him
as saying Manager Davey Johnson chose his start
ing players on the basis of color, that he was
benched because he is black, and that the Mets
promote white players over black ones. Foster
has denied saying those things, pointing out that
Kevin Mitchell, who replaced him in left field, is
black.
“Everything started to snowball with that
story,” Foster said. “It was the straw that broke
the camel’s back.”
Foster signed a five-year, $10 million contract
with the Mets in 1982 after they acquired him
from the Cincinnati Reds. But he was batting
only .227 with 13 homers and 38 RBI and had
lost his starting left field job to Mitchell, who has
been hitting over .300. Since July 1 1, Foster was
2-for-28 with 10 strikeouts.
Foster, who has categorically denied he called
the Mets racists, again said he did not make many
of the statements attributed to him and that oth
ers were taken out of context.

Ryan returns to Astros
after 2nd stint on DL
HOUSTON (AP) — Veteran
pitcher Nolan Ryan of the Houston
Astros comes off the disabled list for
the second time this season today
and will test his ailing right elbow
against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ryan has been troubled all season
by a sprained ligament.
The Astros placed Ryan on the
team’s 15-day disabled list effective
July 28 because of the recurring
problems. Ryan also was sidelined 21
days in June with the same injury.
Ryan was examined by Dr. Frank
Jobe, the Dodgers’ team physician,
last week in Los Angeles. He said he
would need about a year to recover
from surgery, but added that he did
not think an operation was necessary
now.
He will take a 7-7 record and a
3.90 earned-run average into the im
portant home stand against the
Dodgers, who are trying to overtake
the first-place Astros in the tight Na
tional League West.
Ryan struggled early in the season
but despite the elbow pain, pitched
his best games after coming off the
disabled list in June 24. Since then,
he has compiled a 4-1 record and
struck out 14 over 9 1-3 innings
against the Montreal Expos on July
22.
In his next start on July 27, Ryan
struck out 10 batters over five in
nings against Philadelphia before
leaving the game with elbow pain.
He then was placed on the disabled
list against his wishes.
Although Ryan wanted to pitch
against the Dodgers in Los Angeles
on Aug. 1, Houston Manager Hal
Lanier said he wanted to rest Ryan
and have him in shape for the final
two months of the season.

(continued from page 7)
iNorman for Player of the Year hon
ors.
The final round was played Mon
day as heavy rains deluged the area
Sunday after Tway and Norman had
played just one hole forcing suspen
sion of play.
Tway was choked with emotion as
he was interviewed on television.
“I can hardly talk,” Tway, who
wiped tears from his eyes, said.
“Right now, I’m the happiest person
in the world. ... It’s something you
dream of all of your life.”
“I didn’t feel I played that badly.
It was a struggle from the word ‘go’,”
said Norman, who led after the third
round of all four majors, won the
British Open, finished second in
both the Masters and PGA and
faded to 12th in the U.S. Open.
“My swing wasn’t bad. It was just
one of those days,” Norman said,
then added congratulations for
Tway.
“Bob played extremely well. He
did the right things at the right
time,” Norman said.
And the best thing Tway did, of
course, was the decisive shot from
the bunker in front of the 18th
green.
Tway, who tied for the lead when
the struggling Norman bogeyed the
14th hole after hooking his drive,
was in trouble on the 18th.
He drove into the right rough and
hit his approach into the trap.
Jack Nicklaus, commenting on
television, noted: “If he had to miss
it, that’s the best place to get it up
and down from.”
Nicklaus, the Masters champion,
who was seeking a record sixth PGA
title, finished well back at 285 after a
75 Monday.
Norman, trying to regain the
game that had put him in the lead
with a course-record 65 in the open
ing round, drove into the fairway,
then lofted his second shot onto the
green — only to see the spin back it
off the putting surface into heavy
rough.
No one else really got in the title
chase.
Peter Jacobsen, playing with Nor
man and Tway in the last group —“I
was kind of a spectator out there,”
he said — birdied the final hole for a
71. That put him third alone at 279.
