Police) 901 Harvey (WoodstoneCfli NEW YORK (AP) — There was no fire in John McEnroe’s game Tuesday, no temper tantrums, no arguing with spectators. Now, there is no John McEnroe in the U.S. Open Tennis Champion ships. “I felt like I was in a reasonably good frame of mind,” said McEnroe, the ninth seed who was ap pearing in his third tournament since taking a seven-month sabbatical from tennis, after being stunned by fellow New Yorker Paul Annacone T 6, 6-1,6-2, 6-3. “I felt like I gave a pretty good ef fort and was trying the best that I could do.” It wasn’t enough, as Annacone overpowered the man who has won America’s premier tennis event four times, who has captured Wimbledon three times and who until a year ago was ranked No. 1 in the world. “I just hoped that I would go out and play well today,” Annacone said. “And if I did, then I’d have a chance. Fortunately, I got a lot of chances.” McEnroe became the first finalist to lose in the first round of the next U.S. Open since Tom Ok- ker of the Netherlands lost to Britain’s Mark Cox in the first round in 1969. In 1968, Okker lost to Arthur Ashe in the title match. Last year, McEnroe fell to Czechoslovakia’s Ivan Lendl in the men’s singles final. On Tues day, Lendl followed McEnroe onto the Louis Armstrong Stadium Court and crushed Glenn Layendecker 6-3, 6-2, 6-0. “It doesn’t affect me at all,” the top-seeded Lendl said of McEnroe’s shocking defeat. “I mean I have to play (Robert) Seguso in the sec ond round. “Eventually I could have played McEnroe in the quarters, but it’s a long way there for me and for him. For him it proved to be too long. I hope it doesn’t prove to be too long for me.” Argentina’s Guillermo Vilas, who won the tournament in 1977 when it was played on clay, was ousted by Paul McNamee of Australia, 7-5, 5- 7, 2-6, 6-1,6-3. Later in the day, David Pate upset 12th-seeded Thierry Tulasne of France, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 and Kathy Rinaldi, the women’s No. 10 seed, fell to Michelle Torres 6-1,6-4. Defending women’s champion Hana Mandli- kova of Czechoslovakia and top-seeded Martina Navratilova easily moved into the second round. Mandlikova, the fourth seed, cruised past Marie- Christine Calleja of France, 6-2, 6-2 and Navrati lova defeated Czechoslovak Andrea Holikova 6- 4,6-2. It was Annacone, a hard-serving right-hander, who was dominant on this day as McEnroe con stantly found himself out of position or commit ting unforced errors. The match ended when McEnroe, once almost untouchable at the National Tennis Center, hit a volley wide when he had most of the court to aim at. “I’m sorry that he lost,” Annacone said of McEnroe. “I want to see him come back because I think he’s great for tennis. “I’m not sorry that I won, but it feels kind of awkward beating him.” With the defeat, McEnroe dropped to at least 21st in the world computer rankings, his lowest ever. Sixth-ranked Jimmy Connors is now the lone American ranked in the top 10. Annacone finished with 23 aces to only three for McEnroe.

Arnold, who averaged 44.9 yards a kick to lead the NFL in 1984 but slipped to 41.2 last year, was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs, who will go with rookie Louis Colbert. The Chiefs also dropped offensive line man Bob Olderman and fullback Bruce King, who began last year as starters. Kozlowski, who had started just seven games in three years with the Dolphins, was primarily a nickel back and kick returner. His best performance came in a 1983 game when he intercepted two passes by the New York Jets’ Richard Todd and returned them 35 and 38 yards for touchdowns. Todd was cut Monday by the New Orleans Saints. Among others cut Tuesday were quarterback Scott Brunner and wide receiver Earnest Gray, a former playoff passing combination with the Giants. They were let go by the St. Louis Cardinals, who also released one-time starting linebacker Thomas Howard and veteran de fensive back Jeff Griffin.
