Howe, who had been suspended for the 1984 season because of cocaine abuse, mysteriously was absent for last Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He and his attorney, Jim Hawkins, met with Dodgers officials Monday morning, but there was no explanation from either side why Howe missed the game. Hawkins did say, however, that Howe had passed a drug test administered Monday.

Dodgers' Executive Vice President Fred Claire, explaining the club's decision to release Howe, said in a prepared statement: "After carefully considering all options, we have concluded that this is the best course of action for all concerned. "We were advised that Steve does not feel that he can any longer handle the pressure of playing in Los Angeles." In a statement by Howe that also was released by the Dodgers, he said: "I have the greatest appreciation for the kindness and consideration shown to me by the entire Los Angeles Dodger organization. After endless struggles within myself to give the Dodgers the maximum talent I felt they deserved, I feel the utmost appreciation for them helping me to get a fresh start." Howe, a 27-year-old lefthander who was the National League's Rookie of the Year in 1980, had been placed on baseball's restricted list by the Dodgers after he failed to show up for Sunday's game. Howe is 1-1 with three saves and a 4.91 earned-run average this year after undergoing elbow surgery in the off-season. More baseball Center fielder Mookie Wilson of the New York Mets underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder at Roosevelt Hospital in New York.

The Mets said Wilson had "fraying and tears" of the labrum, which is part of the cartilage on the rim of the shoulder joint. Doctors would not say when Wilson could play again. The Milwaukee Brewers have purchased the contract of left-handed pitcher RIek Walts from their Class AAA Vancouver farm team. Waits, a former Indian, compiled a 10-5 record and 2.87 ERA in 16 starts this season for the Canadians. He also threw a no-hitter against Portland on June 20.

Gay Bush, who gave up Babe Ruth's last home run, died of cardiac arrest at his home in Shannon, Miss. He was 83. Bush pitched 17 years in the major leagues, compiling a 176-136 record.

Woody Hayes Steve Howe improving best course On May, 25, 1935, five days before he retired, Ruth hit three homers for the Boston Braves, two off Bush of Pittsburgh. Pitcher Mike Norris will remain on the Major League joint drug program rehabilitation list the rest of the 1985 season.

The Oakland A's said in a news release that Norris had agreed to the move. Norris will not return to the A's or take part in any baseball activity with the A's organization at any level in 1985 but will earn a major-league minimum salary for the rest of the season. Football Former Ohio State University football coach Woody Hayes, hospitalized May 24 after suffering a stroke, says he is recovering so well that he might be released as early as this weekend. "I'm getting better. I have four sessions of therapy a day, two occupational and two physical," Hayes said.

University of Florida president Marshall Criser said that contractual obligations will force the school to remain in the Southeastern Conference through the 1985-86 season. On June 3 Criser had announced the university was studying whether it would remain in the conference. His action came after presidents of SEC-affliated universities voted to strip the Florida Gators of the 1984 football title despite their executive committee's earlier vote to allow the Gators to keep it. According to a report in the Cincinnati Post, the Cincinnati Bengals have put Isaac Car tis, their all-time leading receiver, on waivers. Curtis, 34, will be given his unconditional release if no team claims him.

Curtis caught 420 for 53 touchdowns and 7,106 yards with the Bengals. The Houston Oilers have obtained wide receiver Drew Hill from the Los Angeles Rams. It was not disclosed what the Oilers will have to give to the Rams in exchange. United States Football League Commissioner Harry Usher has informed San Antonio Gunslinger owner Clinton Manges that the league will revoke his franchise in 15 days if he does not make good on two paychecks he owes his players.

And when he got the ball back in play, the returns usually were high floaters that Curren put away with crisp volleys. It was the second time in three years that Curren had eliminated the defending champion here. In 1983, Curren served 33 aces in upsetting Connors. "I am a much more mature and experienced player since two years ago when I beat Jimmy here," said Curren. "I was nervous back then, but felt more in control today." Curren broke McEnroe's service in the fifth and seventh games of the first set, the first and seventh games of the second set and the seventh game of the final set.

Four times McEnroe reached break point on Curren's serve, and the righthander repelled each one. Although Connors is the top seed left in the men's singles, at 32 he is being called too old. "I wasn't any more fired up about McEnroe losing than if he had won," Connors after his victory. "I still have to get through my part of the draw whether it'u him or Curren. "Being in the semis is no great thing for tw.

I'm at the point where I'm used ra inning." The Becker-Leconte match pitted two young, hard-hitters. But this time, it was Becker, who is being compared to McEnroe when he made his first appearance here in 1977, who controlled the match after they had split the first two sets. "I tried some different things," Becker said. "Sometimes I stay back, sometimes I moved in more. I tried something and finally it was all right." In the first-set tiebreaker, Becker won four unanswered points for a 5-1 lead.

But Leconte, who upset second-seeded Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia in the fourth round, strung together five unanswered points, moving to set point at 6-5. Then the blond wrapped up the tiebreaker 9-7 by capturing four of the last five points. Leconte captured the next set, before Becker, his groundstrokes finding the range and his volleys crisp and decisive, moved into the semifinals by dominating the last two sets. Navratilova and Shriver hooked up in one of the best matches in this tournament, repeatedly ending up at the net face-to-face, exchanging reflex volleys. But Navratilova, seeking her fourth consecutive women's title, won the first-set tiebreaker 7-5, then dominated the final set.

"I knew I had to play a real tight match," Navratilova said. "Whoever wins the first set has a big edgeOn grass, playing three out of five, it probably would not have made that much difference. But playing two out of three, the difference is huge." Shriver agreed. "Once (I lost the tiebreaker), I knew I was in a bit of trouble, because the ke' with Martina is to have her miss some volleys," Shriver said. "I think she only missed one volley her forehand in the last game." After dropping the first set, Garrison broke Van Nostrand in the first game of the second set, but surrendered that advantage when the American broke right back.

When Van Nostrand broke her again in the fourth set, Garrison trailed 3-1 and appeared in deep trouble. But she recovered immediately, breaking Van Nostrand in the next game and never dropping another game in the match. Her string included six service breaks. "When I broke back after it was 3-1, I felt it start to turn," Garrison said. Garrison is the first black American to reach the women's semifinals here since Althea Gibson captured her second consecutive Wimbledon title in 1958.

Garrison won the Wimbledon junior girls crown in 1981. Also reaching the semifinals of a Grand Slam event for the first time was Rinaldi, who in 1981 became the youngest player ever to win a match at Wimbledon. She was 14 years, 91 days old at the time. 5 I to- tJL Associated Press Boris Becker reaches to return a shot in win over Henri Leconte 1.
