C Free F sector dents i ent’s ir vices: Oftentimes, the wearing of a David Robinson jersey will get you inadvertently posted up on your way to the library. You’d better practice on your jump hook before venturing outside your apartment. 4) Don’t fall victim to the theory that you inherit that player’s athletic ability by don ning his jersey. This is an area that I have fallen victim to many a time, es pecially on the basketball court. If I’m wearing Robert Horry’s jersey, shouldn’t I be able to throw down tomahawk jams and drain 25-foot three-pointers? Of course not! Putting on a piece of fabric doesn’t change the fact that I’m a slow white guy with Bob Dole’s knees. It gets even worse when I take batting practice wearing my vintage Braves’ Hank Aaron jersey. Suddenly, I’m convinced that by swinging as hard as possible, I can take the ball out of Bee Creek Park into the Andy Anderson Arboretum. In stead, I find myself face down in the home plate dirt, writhing in pain while I try to count how many muscles I have torn. Reality bites. Strawberry hitless in first game bad NEW YORK (AP) — Darryl Strawberry’s third comeback began quietly, both on and off the field. There were no bombastic pro nouncements of monster seasons. And there were no hits, either. Playing in the major leagues for the first time since last Sep tember, Strawberry went O-for- 4 Sunday in the New York Yan kees’ 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. He lined out once, grounded out twice and flied out to the warning track in the ninth inning. “They were hacks and they were good,” he said. “It just felt good to be back.” Maybe after all the tumult — the cocaine use, the tax evasion conviction, the failure to pay child support and allegations of wife beating — the 34-year-old out fielder finally has turned his life around. “I think St. Paul was a very humbling experience for me,” he said before the game, back in the glare of minicams and photographers’ flashes. “It al- STRAWBERRY The Battalion Classified To place a classified ad: Phone: 845-0569 / Fax: 845-2678 Office: Room 015 (basement) Reed McDonald Building (40! $ 486 Inter tiabli Business Hours 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday Insertion deadline: 1 p.m. prior business day [IS ‘AGGIE' Private Party Want Ads $10 for 20 words running 5 days, if your merchandise is priced $1,000 or less (price must appear in ad).

Tami 776-2195 WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Known until now only infa mously at Wimbledon for a chauvinistic wisecrack, Richard Krajicek achieved a more lasting and significant fame Sunday on Centre Court when he seized his first Grand Slam title. The first Dutch player to cap ture a major championship, and the second unseeded player ever to win Wimbledon, Krajicek dealt out 14 qces, punishing overheads and sizzling passing shots to beat American MaliVai Washington 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. The match, between two players who had lost in the opening round the past two years, didn’t equal that first flourish of ex- c i t e m e n t . Though Kra jicek played well and Wash ington tried hard, there were too ^ many starts and stops for either of them to get into the flow and pro duce the kind of majestic tennis that occasionally has been seen in men’s finals. The match lasted 1 hour, 33 minutes of playing time, but took 4 hours to complete because of all the rain. Krajicek, at 6-foot-5 the tallest Wimbledon champion in 50 years, took advantage of his imposing height and recently beefed-up body to dominate Washington from the net and the baseline. Krajicek didn’t reach the level he showed in beating three-time defending champion Pete Sampras in the quarterfinals and 1991 cham pion Michael Stich in the fourth round. On this day, it wasn’t necessary. It was the first Wimbledon fi nal between two unseeded play ers, and Krajicek, 24, became the only unseeded champion be side Boris Becker in 1985. The business of being unseeded, though, deserves an asterisk. Krajicek came into the tourna ment ranked No. 13, and got pushed out of the seedings be cause of his past failures here. When Thomas Muster, seeded No. 7 despite a No. 2 ranking, dropped out due to injury, Kra jicek was slipped into his spot as a sort of shadow 17th seed. “I think next year I might get a seed,” Krajicek said with a wry smile. On Sunday, one of those watching at Centre Court was former Dutch great Tom Okker, who lost in the final of the 1968 U.S. Open to Arthur Ashe. Washing ton was the first black men’s finalist at Wimbledon since Ashe won in 1975. Female streakei bares all on Centre Court Krajicek’s victory was a breakthrough for him after get ting only as far as the semifinals in two previous Grand Slam events — the Australian Open in 1992 and French Open in 1993. He never quite made it into the elite ranks, but his victory en sures that he will move back into the top 10. He had been ranked as high as No. 8 in 1993. Krajicek dropped to his knees, his arms in the air, his fists clenched and a look of dis belief on his face — then he fell over backward. “I was unbelievably happy, and then when I did (fall over) I felt, Ts the match really over?”’ he said. “For a split second I thought, ‘Am I making a fool of myself?’ But then nobody started laughing too much, so I thought I won.” WIMBLEDON, England (AP — A young female streaker, wearing a big smile and little else, pranced across Centre Court moments before Sunday) men’s Wimbledon final. The woman, identified only as a 23-year-old student from London, climbed over a barrier at one end of the court and then dashed the length of its periph ery — passing in front of final ists Richard Krajicek and Mali Vai Washington as they posed near the net for photographs. The streaker was topless and wore only a tiny maid apron, which she lifted up. She was quickly escorted off the court near the Royal Box two policemen. Both players broke into laugher, as did most of fhe 14,000 fans. Washington paused a mo ment and then doubled over try ing to contain his laughter Walking back to the baseline to begin his warmup, the American lifted up his tennis shirt to bare his own chest and received a large ovation. The woman was taken to Wimbledon police station where she was due to be held until the end of the match. Usually stiff and proper, The All England club was unexpect edly light-hearted regarding the moment. “Whilst we do not wish to condone the practice, it did at least provide some light amuse ment for out loyal and patient supporters, who have had a try ing time during the recent bad weather,” a club statement said.

Rangers rob Wells for five runs in 9-3 win Hill holds Seattle to one unearned run ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ken Hill allowed one unearned run in 7 2-3 innings and War ren Newson hit a two-run homer as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 8-3 Sunday night. Hill (9-5) threw his fourth complete game of the season against a lineup that leads the AL in runs, to tal bases and slugging per centage. Hill struck out seven and walked five, yielding five hits. Bob Wells (9-2) had won his previous five decisions, but the Rangers tagged him for five runs and six hits in five innings. Japanese-born pitcher Mac Suzuki gave up three runs and two hits in 1 1-3 innings in his major-league debut for the Mariners. Suzuki be came the first Japanese-born player to play in the American League and the third in major league history. Juan Gonza lez hit his 22nd homer, and Ivan Rodriguez went 3-for-4, with a triple and a dou ble for Texas. Hill lost his shutout in the seventh when Doug Strange doubled, went to third on a passed ball, and scored on Joey Cora’s groundout. Day R eality d but if it be first stitches.
