Connors exits Wimbledon early
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) —
Jimmy Connors, blowing a bushelful
of break points, made one of his ear
liest exits from Wimbledon Wednes
day with a second-round loss to Dan
Goldie.
The two-time tideholder was elim
inated by the former NCAA cham
pion 7-o, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 on a cold,
rainy day at the All England Club.
Connors should have held the up
per hand in the first three sets, hold
ing serve easily and constantly
threatening to break Goldie’s serve.
But he failed to convert 10 break
points during one key stretch in the
middle of the match and never re
covered after Goldie finally broke
him to win the third set.
“Basically, the operation was suc
cessful but the patient died,” said
Connors, the oldest man in the sin
gles draw at 36. “1 had every chance
to win it, but I didn’t.”
It was Connors’ second straight
second-round defeat at a Grand
Slam tournament. Last month, he
lost to fellow American Jay Berger at
the French Open.
Despite the loss, Connors said he
had no plans to retire.
"Anyoody can quit,” he said. “I
don’t care if I win another tourna
ment. I’ve won enough of them. As
long as I enjoy playing the game, I
don’t need any other reason to play.”
Goldie, ranked 47th in the world,
had lost his two previous matches
against Connors and has never had
great success in Grand Slam tourna
ments. But he made the most of his
opportunities Wednesday, breaking
Connors twice in the final set.
“I just tried to play my game and
fortunately it was good enough,”
Goldie said. “It’s a great thrill for me
to win because Connors is still a very
good player.”
The 33,525 fans who attended
Wednesday’s rain-delayed matches
had a hard time getting to Wimble
don because of a strike by railroad
and subway workers But top-seeded
Ivan Lendl and Steffi Graf remained
on track by moving into the third
round.
Lendl, seeking his first Wimble
don title, dropped the first set be
fore rallying for a 6-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
victory over Sweden’s Ronnie Bath-
man and Graf took just 43 minutes
to beat American amateur Kim Kes-
saris 6-2, 6-1.
French Open champion Arantxa
Sanchez won her first match at
Wimbledon, beating Jana Pospisi-
lova of Czechoslovakia 6-2, 7-5.
Sanchez, who lost in the first
round here the past two years, had a
new attitude toward grass after fi
nally winning on the surface.
“I felt it was for, how you say,
cows,” the 17-year-old Spaniard
said. “But now I think different.”
The grass wasn’t greener for No.
11 seed Brad Gilbert and Helen Ke-
lesi, the 13th women’s seed.
In the completion of first-round
matches suspended by darkness
Tuesday night, Gilbert lost to John
Fitzgerald of Australia 6-2, 7-5, 1-6,
3-6, 6-2. Shaun Stafford, who won
the NCAA women’s singles
championship last year at the Uni
versity of Florida, upset Kelesi 7-6,
7-5 in another first-round match.
Because of a SVa-hour rain delay,
several matches were postponed or
suspended by darkness.
Two-time men’s champion Boris
Becker and two women’s seeds, No.
6 Helena Sukova and No. 9 Natalia
Zvereva, had their second-round
matches pushed back a day.

NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Rose
wisecracked about his son, his boss
and his team, but did not joke when
baseball’s inquisitors asked him if he
gambled on his game.
During the two days of question
ing in Ohio on April 20-21, Rose dis
played politeness toward baseball in
vestigator John M. Dowd — at one
point he said, “Please, call me Pete;
Mr. Rose is my dad,” — but he also
turned sarcastic and impatient at
times. He insisted that he didn’t bet
on the Cincinnati Reds or any other
major league baseball teams and had
no debts.
“I’m going to say this one more
time,” according to a 359-page tran
script of Rose’s testimony. “I don’t
owe anybody a dime. New York.
New England. New Mexico. A dime.
Nothing.”
The Reds manager reserved his
harshest criticism for his accusers,
saying “these guys were all in trouble
with drugs,” and “they have to sing
or they’ll be in Sing Sing.”
But Rose also engaged in playful
banter when the name of his son,
Pete Jr., arose.
“The one who plays ball for the . .
.Orioles farm club?” Dowd asked.
“The one that struck out four
times last night,” Rose replied. “The
one that’s catching a*Tot' of hell . . .
from the stands.”
3ff;
“Sorry to hear that,” Dowd an
swered.
Rose was questioned about the
sale of the Corvette he received from
Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott
in 1985 after he broke Ty Cobb’s all-
time hits record. It had been alleged
that Rose sold the car to pay his gam
bling debts.
“When I got 4,192, Marge Schott
made it appear that she gave me a
Corvette,” Rose testified. “But she
didn’t give me the Corvette. General
Motors gave me the Corvette.
“If Marge would have gave it to
me, I probably wouldn’t have sold
it,” he said. When asked why, Rose
replied:
“Because she’s the owner of the
ballclub. She made it appear — you
don’t know Marge Schott like we
know Marge Schott. I mean she
made it appear that she gave it to
me, the way she handled it.”
“You mean publicly?” Dowd
asked.
“Right,” Rose said. “She got all the
mileage out of it, so to speak.”
Schott declined to comment on
the incident Tuesday, her secretary
said.
Dowd, in an apparent attempt to
show that Rose bet on baseball, ques
tioned him about the many tele
phone calls from different hotels
and the Reds clubhouse during the

1987 season, when Cincinnati fin
ished second behind San Francisco.
At one point, when Dowd noted
that several of the examples he
picked out came on days the Reds
were defeated, the investigator
quipped: “Pete . .. believe me, I don’t
mean to pick out the losses of the
Reds.”
Dowd then cited more examples
from the telephone logs, but noted
these came when Cincinnati had
won. “Pete, on June 2nd, — I’ve got
three winners in a row here. The
Reds beat St. Louis 3-2 in a home
game.”
Rose cut him off.
"No matter how many you get,
we’re still going to finish second,” he
said.
Rose turned sarcastic when ques
tioned about a letter written by Paul.
Janszen. In it, Janszen detailed
Rose’s failure to repay loans, despite
a personal friendship in which Jan
szen said he had spent “hundreds of
hours at his home.”
Rose said he found it “amusing”
that Janszen said he spent “hun
dreds of hours working in my house
.. . building a play area.”
“What he did is he helped me
move the play area,” Rose said.
“Chuck Beyuersdoerfer, I’m sure
you’ve got oh your records, built the
damn thing.”
Rose said he borrowed money
from Janszen several times. “Evi
dently, he’s the same as I am as far as
not getting a signed thing if I bor
rowed money from him. You just
said that yourself,” Rose said.
One of Rose’s lawyers interjected:
“Well, Pete, don’t be sarcastic.”
He said his principal accusers —
Ronald Peters, Janszen, Michael E.
Fry and Thomas P. Gioiosa — “were
all trying to link gambling to me be
cause they were all in trouble with
drugs. ”

Deshaies leads Astros
past San Francisco, 7-3
HOUSTON (AP) — Jim De
shaies isn’t pitching any better
this season. He’s just pitching
smarter.
“I can’t really say this is the best
I’ve ever pitched, taut I think I’ve
learned a lot from year to year
that’s helping me,” Deshaies said
after winning his seventh game in
his last eight decisions by beating
the San Francisco Giants 7-3
Wednesday.
“What I’ve done this year is
learn to battle and stay in the
game when I don’t have good
stuff. We’re a late-inning club,
and I’ve tried to take advantage
of it. ”
Deshaies, 8-3, gave up three
runs on five hits in seven innings,
strikinrj out four and walking
three. Larry Anderson finished
up, allowing one hit and striking
out four.
“He’s throwing great. He’s
keeping us in games and giving
us a chance to win,” Houston
manager Art Howe said. “Even in
a couple of his losses, he’s done
an outstanding job. We fell good
any time he’s on the mound.”
Glenn Davis backed Deshaies
with an RBI double and a run
scoring single as the second-place
Astros cut the Giants’ lead in the
National League West to two
games. Houston has won five of
its last six games.
Loser Don Robinson, 7-5, al
lowed five runs on six hits in 4 1-3
innings.
Houston took a 3-0 lead in the
first inning on a one-out walk to
Gerald Young and RBI doubles
by Bill Doran, Davis and Ken
Caminiti.
The Giants cut it to 3-1 in the
third on singles by Robinson and
Brett Butler, Robby Thompson’s
fielder’s choice grounder and
Clark’s sacrifice fly.
But the Astros got that run
back in the bottom of the inning
on a walk to Doran and Terry
Puhl’s RBI double to center, then
made it 5-1 in the fifth when
Young singled, stole second and
continued to third on catcher
Terry Kennedy’s throwing error,
then scored on Davis’ RBI single.
'Candy Maldonado’s fifth
homer of the season in the sixth
pulled the Giants within 5-2.
The Astros added two runs in
the sixth on a run-scoring single
by Billy Hatcher and a sacrifice
fly by Young.
The Giants closed the scoring
in the seventh on Butler’s sacri
fice fly.
