H0US bus vvinnii Hu nintli Astn laves 7-f ■ Alan A louston i CHICAGO (AP) — The Milwau kee Brewers’ record-tying 13-game winning streak from the start of the season ended Tuesday night when they lost to the Chicago White Sox 7- 1 on home runs by Donnie Hill and Greg Walker. Starter Joel Davis, with relief help from Jim Winn, thwarted Milwau kee’s bid for a major-league record 14-0 start. The Brewers set the American League record for the best start when they won their twelfth straight ball game Sunday with a five-run rally in the ninth inning for a 6-4 vic tory over Texas. Milwaukee matched the major- league record of 13 straight set by Atlanta in 1982 by rallying Monday night to beat Chicago 5-4. In all, the Brewers won eight of the 13 games by coming front be hind. But, it was not another coine- from-behind night for Milwaukee, which trailed 5-0 af ter three innings. The White Sox jumped on rookie Mark Ciardi, 1-1, for five runs in the first three innings and Davis, 1-1, checked Milwaukee on four hits Ix-- fore departing in the sixth. Hill put the White Sox ahead in the first inning when he hit a 2-0 pitch into the upper deck in right field for his second homer.

Ex-Mustangs involved in FBI investigation NEW YORK (AP) — Four former Southern Methodist football players are cooperating with FBI agents who are investigating allegations that a New York sports agent threatened to hurt one of the players, Newsday reported Tuesday. The newspaper said former SMU players Jerry Ball, Ronald Morris, Jeff Atkins and Terence Mann have been questioned about the activities of sports agent Norby Walters and his associate, Lloyd Bloom. The FBI is investigating allega tions that Bloom threatened to break Morris’ hands if he dropped Walters and Bloom as his agents to sign with a different sports agency. Walters and Bloom are executives of World Sports and Entertainment Inc., whose clients have included musicians Miles Davis, Luther Van- dross and Janet Jackson. The firm began representing athletes about two years ago. Walters and his firm have filed lawsuits against several top college athletes, charging them with breach of contract. Documents in the court cases indicate that NCAA rules may have been violated when Walters gave the players money while they were still eligible to play in college. In a telephone interview with Newsday from his home in Beau mont, Ball said Morris told him that he had been threatened by Bloom. “On two occasions, Ron told me that Bloom said he was going to break Ron’s hands,” Ball said. “Then he (Morris) said, ‘Well, I’m going to have a tape made. When he (Bloom) calls back. I’m going to get him to threaten me again,’ and he (Bloom) did. And the reason he did was be cause Ron signed with (sports agent) Sherwood Blount.” Walters declined to comment on the report Tuesday. Bloom was out of his office and could not be reached. In February, the NCAA banned SMU from playing football next sea son because of illegal payments to athletes. Because of other restric tions placed on the program, the school decided to also skip the fol lowing season. Mavs rebuke scalpei offer fans best seats Larry A nei and G: ■Dale M ■enn Hu had helpe ■imrinto I\! Hal) DALLAS (AP) — Fans of the playoff-bound Dallas Mavericks got a jump on the best seats in the house when Reunion Arena offi cials bumped ticket scalpers over to the sidelines. The NBA team with 55 wins discriminated in favor of its fans Monday by singling them out lot first dibs on tickets to the Maver icks’playoff games Thursday and Saturday at Reunion Arena. “We did our best to get as many tickets to fans as we could,” said marketing director Greg Ja mison. “We just did it a little dif- ferendv than just a straight line We didn't deny anyone the tight to get a ticket. As a matter of fat t. by 10:45 a.in., we had 130 seats left over.” in a practice that has enraged fans in the past, scalpers paid al most 200 street people $20 apiece to spend the night outside Reun ion Arena Sunday to wait for tick ets.

Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, met with Commissioner Peter Ue berroth Tuesday and said he was en couraged that baseball will make a strong effort to hire blacks and other minorities for key front office and managerial jobs. After an hour-long meeting, Low ery said, “It was a very profitable meeting. The commissioner is sensi tive to the situation and committed to change.” Lowery said his group also wants minorities on boards of directors of teams and wants the sport to do busi ness with black-owned enterprises. Ueberroth’s “role is key to setting the tone for the owners,” Lowery said in an interview outside the com missioner’s office on Park Avenue. Lowery’s meeting came a day af ter Ueberroth discussed baseball's minority hiring practices with Jesse Jackson, head of the Chicago-based Operation PUSH. Jackson said that during Mon day’s meeting he and Ueberroth tried to lay the groundwork for an affirmative action coalition that would attempt to bring more mi norities into positions of authority in all sports. Racial remarks made by Ixjs An geles Dodgers vice president Al Campanis, who was forced to resign April 8, spurred the meetings. On ABC-TV’s “Nightline” pro gram April 6, Campanis said blacks may lacK some of the “necessities” for such jobs as field manager and general manager. Campanis had been invited on the show to discuss the significance of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier 40 years ago. “Sports are so visible,” Lowery said. “Now there’s an opportunity rfirough Mr. Campanis. Sometimes Cod brings good out of evil." Lowery then added with a smile, “1 may give Mr. Campanis an award; he’s brought this situation out into the open." Ueberroth, in the furor following the Campanis interview, pledged to pul his job on ilielinem increase minorityhiiinjs.

Texas broke the 300 mark for the second consecutive day, shooting a 299 to go with Mon day’s total of 292 at the Sweetwa ter Country Club course. After two rounds of the 54-hole tourna ment, the Longhorns hold a com fortable lead at 591. Southern Methodist may be the only team with a chance of catching Texas. The defending champion Mustangs have a two- day total of 607. Texas Christian trails SMU by 12 strokes, but is 28 strokes be hind Texas. Texas A&M main tained control of fourth place with a team score of 628. Texas Tech is fifth after two days at 634. The top four positions in the individual standings belong to Texas. Sophomore Kate Golden fired an even-par 72 to tie team mate Jenny Germs Tuesday at 147. Germs, who broke par Monday with a 2-under 70 performance, turned in a second-round 77 but managed to hold on to a share of the lead. Lisa DePaulo, the only senior on the Texas squad, shot 78 Tuesday and is now in sole possession of third place individ ually at 148. Junior Sue Ginter, the SWC’s defending champion, encoun tered difficulties over Sweetwa ter’s back nine and ballooned to 77 for the day. Still, Ginter holds a 36-hole score of 149, tying SMU’s Tami Henningsen for fourth. The final 18-holes of the championship will be played to day. placing blarls and^ ^ ^ I noiities in managenw-H ltma ^ other sectors of theclubinH.^ 4,1 !!' 1111 action Ti mooo v NBA to vote on expansion teams today Is"l' f ipatc with NEW YORK (AP) — George Shinn, who has seen Charlotte go from last to first among potential NBA expansion franchises, will not do any celebrating until his North Carolina hometown officially is in vited into the league. The 23-member NBA Board of Governors meets today to vote on an Expansion Committee recommen dation that Charlotte be added to the league in 1988, Minneapolis in 1989 and either Orlando or Miami in 1988 or 1989. The recommended entry fee is $32.5 million per team. Shinn, who would become the ma jority owner of the Charlotte fran chise, said he does not expect the board, which requires 18 positive votes for expansion, to rubber- stamp the committee decision. “It’s my nature to be afraid that it won’t work out,” Shinn said Tues day. “I’m a salesman and I’ve learned that until something’s signed, it’s not a deal. But we’ve come a long way. At one time there were 11 cities talking about applying for a franchise, and we were consid ered to be 11th. When it got down to seven cities, we were seventh and when it got down to four finalists, we were considered fourth.” The NBA was known to be wor ried about Charlotte’s population of less than 400,000, but Shinn con vinced the Expansion Committee that the 5.6 million people who lived within a 100-mile radius of the city were basketball mad and hungry for major-league status. “But when we went to Phoenix for the meetings last October, one news paper said the only franchise we would get would have golden arches,” Shinn said. Shinn said that bonds for the 23,500-seat Charlotte Coliseum, now under constructicm, were accepted by voters even before he started working to get an expansion fran chise. “We’re convinced it’s a major- league city in an area that hasn’t been given a chance to prove it,” said Shinn, who would share ownership with Cy N. Bahakcl, Rick Hendrick III and Felix Sabates. “And very few people realize that the closest ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) school is a two-hour drive from Charlotte.” Shinn said he also was heartened by the response in Charlotte to the April 2 committee decision to rec ommend the city. In the two weeks since then, season-ticket reservations have jumped from 8,600 to 13,700. The Spirit was the nickname cho sen for the proposed Charlotte team, but Shinn said the name has not been finalized.

On Friday, Philadelphia is at Mil waukee, Indiana at Atlanta, Wash ington at Detroit in the East and Houston is at Portland in the West. All the fifSC-round series are best- of-five. Erving said that the 76ers’ strong showing against gr>od teams is an en couraging sign as he enters the final weeks of his 16-year professional ca reer. “We didn’t play as well against jfi I’hilaclt poor teams as we havri ® st 'etch tli jmmji iccuiia da wc iki H 1 » u Erving said. “MaybeVork don’t play New Yorkof'HFs won ii in the first round.” ijl | i Tuesc!
