mop seeds Edberg,
Becker eliminated in
rench Open upsets
r oMlf (AP) — Stefan Edberg and
Boris Becker may be familiar sights
or Center Court at Wimbledon, but
J they did quick disappearing acts
y Ifuesday in a historic pair of upsets
‘ at the French Open.
U® Edberg and Becker, the top two
^■eds, were bounced in the first
j^Bund by two European teen-agers,
/ showing once again that the slow red
! j day of Roland Garros is no place for
/ fast-court specialists.
irB error 'P rone Edberg was swept
Msily in straight sets by 19-year-old
®^Brgi Bruguera of Spain 6-4, 6-2, 6-
, 1. Two matches later on center
f ® urt ' B ec ker lost to 18-year-old Yu-
j^^Jslav Goran Ivanisevic 5-7, 6-4, 7-5,
It was the first time in history that
He top two seeds, male or female,
,ni0 Hive lost in the first round of a
5 Grand Slam tournament.
The losses also marked the first
ln i time Edberg and Becker failed to
Hach the second round of a Grand
ate ' Slam event and derailed their hopes
lf ; ol overtaking Ivan Lendl for the
r v world’s top ranking.
wt ®H “That’s what Grand Slam tour na-
1 jHents are all about,” Becker said.
“Even if you’re one of the top seeds,
P' there are many players who are un-
who can beat you.”
Between them, Becker and Ed-
have won four of the last five
“jHimbledons. And last year they
“Htth reached the semifinals in Paris,
Edberg beating Becker before
• , jsing to Michael Chang in the final.
n ‘ But both have struggled on clay this
spring.
“Last year Edberg and I proved
we can play well on clay,” Becker
said. “But it’s getting more difficult
because there are so many good
players right now. Even in the first
round, you have to play 95 percent
to win.”
Bruguera and Ivanisevic seemed
to sense the same thing.
“When I saw that Bruguera beat
Edberg, I thought, “Why can’t I beat
Becker?’ ” said Ivanisevic, ranked
51st in the world.
Becker is known as “Boom Boom”
for his booming serve, but it was the
6-foot-4 Yugoslav who made the
most noise with 19 aces.
“Ele was just playing out of his
mind,” Becker said. “He was playing
better and better. He was serving
aces and hitting and hitting. In the
fourth set, nobody in this world
could have stopped him.”
While Becker said he played
about as well as he expected, Edberg
could do little right.
“It wasn’t my day at all,” he said.
“Whatever I did, I didn’t do it very
well.
When Edberg wasn’t hitting shaky
serves and stray backhands, he tried
to take the offensive by coming to
net. But Bruguera was usually in po
sition to whip a passing shot by him.
The departure of Edberg and
Becker leaves an already wide open
men’s field even more uncertain.
Andre Agassi, No. 3, is the highest
seed remaining, but he struggled in
his first-round match Monday.

Ived
ARLINGTON (AP) — The strug-
lling Texas Rangers will have to
Imp along at least ten more days
Without Nolan Ryan, who officials
say won’t be ready to return to the
mound until June 8.
p Ryan had been placed on the 15-
day disabled list and the team origi
nally planned to bring him off the
list in time to start against the Cali
fornia Angels Saturday,
it But Ryan had more problems
with his back spasms Monday while
pitching during a 15-minute session
at Arlington Stadium.
|j So the Rangers said Ryan will be
Ltransferred to the 21-day disabled
list, making him eligible to return on
June 8.
R Gary Mielke, a reliever who is hav
ing problems with a broken blister
on the right middle finger, will re
place Ryan.
I Mielke will be replaced by left
hander John Barfield from Class
AAA Oklahoma City. He will be put
in the bullpen.
“When Nolan pitches again, I
want him to feel confident this has
been taken care of,” manager Bobby
Valentine said. “I don’t want him to
try to pitch through it and have it be
a continuing situation.
“Once he’s in the rotation, I can’t
see where four days (of rest) will
make it get better.”
“When he feels all better, I’ll feel
better,” Valentine said.
A back injury is a new experience
for him, Ryan said. He said the
toughest thing is sitting on the
bench, unable to help.
Going into Tuesday’s contest
against the Boston Red Sox, the
Rangers had lost four straight and
three of their last 10 games.
“It’s disappointing to see us where
we are,” Ryan said.
Aggie golfers
fail to qualify
Despite the loss of junior
Bobby Gee, the Texas A&M
men’s golf team struggled to a
18th-place tie with Missouri at the
NCAA Central Regional qualifier
meet May 24-26.
The Aggies combined for a
three-day score of 924, led by
sophomore Mike Janik with
scores of 76-78-74 =*228. Janik
tied for 42nd in individual stand-
ings.
Gee, who withdrew from the
competition with tendonitis, is the
SWC medalbt champion.
Bulls talk tough, Pistons whimper
i AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) —Suddenly, the Chi
cago Bulls have become the “Bad Boys” and the Detroit
Pistons are the ones playing timidly in the Eastern Con
ference finals.
B The Bulls, bidding to become only the fifth NBA
team to overcome a 2-0 deficit and win a
best-of-7 series, pulled even at 2-2 with a
j>air of impressive victories over the week-
|end.
Now it’s the Bulls talking tough, like De-
jhoit used to, as they prepare for Game 5 on
‘Vednesday at the Palace.
“We have the momentum and the confi
dence going into the Palace,” the Bulls’ Mi
chael Jordan said. “We have to steal the
game from them and win. We have a very
positive attitude.”
And you don’t have to look very far to see
vhere Chicago got all that confidence. It was
in all those hours of Detroit tapes the Bulls
had to watch, trying to figure out how to
stop the “Jordan rules” which the Pistons
had used so effectively.
The Bulls decided the best way to beat the
‘Pistons was to play like the Pistons. So the
Bulls turned into Bad Boys.
‘I told the guys before (Game 4) they get
six fouls in the NBA, use every one of them,”
Bulls coach Phil Jackson said. “We didn’t use
all of them, but we let them know we came to
play. If we keep up this intensity, no one will be able to
beat us.”
TANK MCNAMARA
Chicago had only one more personal foul than De
troit, 33-32,in the fourth game, but boxscores can be
misleading. Seven of Detroit’s fouls were intentional in
the game’s final minute. Free throws accounted for the
Bulls’ final 11 points.
And those fouls weren’t slaps on the
wrists. They were more like the body slam
variety, the kind Bill Laimbeer is known for.
Only this time it was Scottie Pippen, Bill
Cartwright, Jordan and Ed Nealy dishing
out the punishment. Each finished with five
fouls. Detroit shot 49 free throws.
“It’s like what we do to other teams but
sometimes the table turns,” Detroit’s Isiah
Thomas said. “Nine out of 10 times we do it
to someone, but sometimes it happens to
you.”
The Pistons also were flustered by the
Bulls’ half-court and baseline traps. They
were forced out of their half-court offense,
reduced instead to one-on-one drives and
outside shots.
It showed.
Detroit hit only 4-of-16 shots in the first
quarter and finished with a 37.2 percent
shooting average. The Pistons turned the
ball over 22 times, resulting in 23 Chicago
points.
“We have to keep that defensive intensity
and we have to make our shots and control
the boards,” Jordan said. “We had the faith the last two
games.”

Lowly Mets
fire Johnson
CINCINNATI (AP) — Davey
Johnson, who led the New York
Mets to the 1986 World Series
championship and was one of the
winningest managers in baseball his
tory, was fired Tuesday as his tal
ented team struggled below .500.
Bud Harrelson, the third base
coach, replaced Johnson for the re
mainder of the 1990 season.
The announcement was made by
General Manager Frank Cashen at a
news conference prior to the Mets’
game with the Reds.
“I thought the club was undera
chieving and needed to go in a new
direction,” Cashen said. “Part of the
blame is certainly mine. It’s not all
Davey’s.”
“If I had to let Davey go, it’s great
to have somebody of Bud Harrel-
son’s stripe in the organization.”
The Mets, projected by many to
win the National League East, were
20-22 and six games behind Pitts
burgh when Johnson became the
first major league manager to be
fired this season.
Three hours before the start of
Tuesday night’s game, Harrelson
was sitting in the manager’s chair at
Riverfront Stadium making out the
lineup card, and was preparing to
hold a team meeting.
Johnson was said to be en route to
his home near Orlando, Fla.
Johnson was named Mets man
ager during the 1983 World Series
and led them longer than anyone
else in team history.
He inherited a club that had not
finished above fifth-place for seven
straight years and turned them
around to average 96 victories a
year.
Johnson led the team to the 1986
World Series championship in seven
games over Boston and to a division
championship in 1988, where the
Mets lost in seven games to Los An
geles in the playoffs.
But rumors of his dismissal began
late last year when the favored Mets
failed to win the division despite
stars such as Dwight Gooden, Darryl
Strawberry and Howard Johnson.
And there was speculation Johnson
would be fired if the team did not
get off to a hot start this season.
Johnson was known, and often
criticized, for being a laid-back man
ager who pretty much left his play
ers alone.
But with the team not performing
up to expectations the last two sea
sons, there was talk that the Mets
needed more of a hands-on, motiva
tor.
In Harrelson, the Mets get some
one who is best known as the former
player who fought with Pete Rose in
the 1973 playoffs. He was a two-time
All-Star and a spirited shortstop and
the Mets hoped he could again spark
the team.
