Chicago Tribune, Thursday, June 24, 1976 Section 4 3 Cubs leave Bucs in dark Connors powers way to Wimbledon last 16 By Richard Dozer THE PITTSBURGH Pirates left murky Wrlgley. Field thinking they were five innings away from gaining a split of Wednesday's double-header with the Cubs. Instead, after much confusion, the Cubs got a break. i WIMBLEDON, England VPI-Jim-iny Connors, claiming "they're trying to get rid of me early but I won't go," Wednesday powered his way into the last 16 at the $280,000 Wimbledon Tennis Championships on a day when First Aid workers were busier than the players because of the 95-degree temperature. Connors, appearing in singles for the third successive day, is now one round ahead of the field, but the manner in which he disposed of Egypt's Ismail El Shafei, 6-4, 6-0, 6-3, suggests nothing will stop him regaining the championship July 3, when he is seeded to meet Arthur Ashe in the final of the 12-day tournament.

Chris Evert, however, was even quicker than Connors when it came to cutting down an opponent. Annette Coe of Britain was tne unlucky 6-0, 6-0 victim. It was over Ji 23 minutes. ASHE, THE defending champion who has looked anything but a top seed in 4 played another inning if he had known that only regulation games could be suspended, he replied, "We couldn't have played any further. No matter what." Pittsburgh Manager Danny Murtaugh did not eem overly concerned when he learned of the switch by the umpires.

"I DON'T plan any kind of protest, but I think I'D call Pirates General Manager Joe Brown about it," he said. The Cubs, of course, were delighted with the decision. Their four-game losing streak was over and pitcher Joe Coleman could forget the two runs and five hits he allowed. Coleman did strike out five in a performance that was more encouraging than his last, when he gave up 10 hits and 11 runs in 2 2-3 innings. In the opener, Manny Trillo's two-run double keyed the Cubs' four-run fifth.

As the game's offensive hero, he also singled, walked, stole two bases, and scored the first run on a throwing error in the second inning. OSCAR ZAMORA picked up his fourth victory for retiring the only three batters he faced in the ninth inning. He also picked up a sore back, something that Manager Jim Marshall said "seems to be chronic with him." It was Oscar's 30th appearance and 44th' inning of the season and he was in Wichita for the first two weeks. Also it was Zamora's sixth consecutive game a hint, perhaps, why his back aches at times. WITH OSCAR to be briefly sidelined and Bruce Sutter turning in another of his works of art, Marshall had a new ranking for his bullpen.

"Sutter," he said, "is now the No. 1 short man." Marshal got the rookie into the game one pitch too late to save victory for a deserving Rick Reuschel. He let Darold Knowles work on Pittsburgh's left-handed power cluster of Al Oliver, Willie Stargell, and Dave Parker in the eighth while the Cubs were holding a 5-3 lead. Knowles handled Oliver and Stargell, but walked Parker. He was permitted to work on right-handed Richie Zisk.

But Zisk's eighth homer tied the game 5-5. Sutter then appeared to fan Bill Robinson for his seventh consecutive scoreless outing. NOW THE Cubs only needed to wait for the Pirates to start throwing the ball around again. It happened in the ninth. After a pair of singles by Joe Wallis and Jose Cardenal, Bill Madlock forced Wallis with a tap to shortstop.

But then Bob Moose dashed off the mound to field a slow roller by Jerry Morales. He looked at third, but his first two matches, had the day off. Nine out of an original field of 33 Americans still are in contention in the men's singles, which carri a first prize of $22,125. The heat wave condition brought more than 36,600 spectators swarming into the All-England Cluo grounds in Southwest London and more t.ian 500 received treatment from harassed First Aid workers after fainting or oecoming sick. Connors, in a jovial mood, said, "I'm in the fourth round.

Everybody else is behind me. They tried to get rid of me early but I wouldn't go." TURNING SERIOUS, the former champion continued, "I think to win a tournament like this on grass and the biggest there is against all the great players who are here, you've got to have luck. "Luck plays a big role. Two years ago I hit every line on the court. Last year I couldn't find them." With the tournament into its third day, all the seeds are still in contention, although lOth-seeded John Newcombe, three times the champion between 1967-71, had to survive a record 42 aces served by Briton John Feaver before he disposed of him, 6-3, 3-6, 8-9, 6-4, 6-4.

IN THE WOMEN'S bracket. Evonne Goolagong, Virginia Wade, and Navratilova, seeded directly behind Chris Evert, also reached the third round, where 10 of the 32 Americans who started out are still in contention. Goolagong had another rollev-coaster match in beating Sharon Walh of San Rafael, 6-0, 7-5, after trailing 1-4 in the second set. Wade overpowered British countrywoman Sue Mappin, 6-1, 6-1, and Navratilova dumped Belgium's Mi-chele Gurdal, 6-2, 6-1. Atoms stifle Boston PHILADELPHIA (API Juan Olague scored both goals as the Philadelphia Atoms broke the Boston Minutemen's three-game winning streak by beating them 2-1 Wednesday night in a North American Soccer League game.

For a while the umpiring crew of Billy Williams thought it had suspended the second game due to darkness, it was wrong. The umpires actually were postponing it. THE PIRATES were leading after four innings of the nightcap. The Cubs had won the sloppy opener 6-5 on a ninth-inning run that scored on the Pirates' fifth error. After waiting out two half-hour rain delays in the first game and another of nearly an hour in the second, the umpires stopped play for the day after the Cubs batted in the fourth inning of the nightcap.

It was not a legal contest, of course, since it must go five. The umpires knew this. But they insisted that they had been sent a special bulletin two years ago covering games in Wrigley Field, which is the only park in the majors without lights. "WE THOUGHT this was a suspended game because of special rules that call for any game ended in Wrigley Field by darkness to be resumed at that point," said Williams. "It doesn't matter if you've played one inning or six or so we thought.

"Both managers were under the impression this was a suspended game." Williams could not produce the alleged bulletin and a call to the National League office also was unproductive. Without the bulletin, or any knowledge of one, Fred Fleig, administrative assistant to League President Charles "Chub" Feeney, ordered the game replayed from the start. THE CUBS announced it would be made up during the Pirates' last visit to Chicago Sept. 21-23 as part of a double-header. Fleig, citing the league constitution, repeated in part a section that states: "Where lights are not available, and it is not considered a complete game, it must be replayed in its entirety." Actually, it was WGN-Radio's Lou Boudreau who brought the matter to the attention of Williams.

Boudreau called the umpires immediately after the game and pointed out a section in the National League Green Book its media directoryl that states only "regulation games 4'A or 5 innings" can be suspended, regardless of where they are played. WILLIAMS, WHO responded to Boudreau's reading with an expletive, then phoned to get the official ruling.

Cubs top draft choice holding out for 'fair bonus' BATr.lAHandWOIIDER WOMAN COME TO CHICAGO Appearing Live and In Person overtures to sign him, according to E. R. "Salty" Saltwell, Cubs' general manager, who may get into the negotiations if they aren't resolved soon.

SALTWELL SAID that Handley and Segelke will meet again this weekend along with Lou Zuardo, who was Segelke's El Camino High School coach. "I don't know anything about it, but I'm glad to hear that," said Segelke, a 6-5 right hander. "I think they're just trying to scare me, but record with number one draft choices. With their rookie league team largely assembled already in Bradenton, Segelke is the major absentee. Saltwell, while declining to get into the terms of a bonus offer, said there is more to the delay in signing than price.

"They want some things that can't be done under baseball rules," he said, indicating that they fell in the area of deferred payments which are restricted in bonus arrangements for 'irst players. I've been clued in on all this stuff, and now we've got another adviser. If they had just offered me something fair to begin with I'd have signed right away." Asked if he thought $50,000 would have been fair, the youngster replied, "Sure. Why not?" HE SAID if he doesn't sign, he'll either go to the University of Arizona, where he has a scholarship offer to play under Jerry Kindall, or to one of two junior colleges in the San Francisco area. If the Cubs fail to sign Segelka, it will be just another chapter in their sad By Richard Dozer THE CUBS apparently aren't worried about it, but thus far they have not been able to sign their top draft choice, Herman Segelke; a teenage pitcher from South San Francisco.

Segelke, reached at his home Wednesday, said he is anxious to play but added, "I just want a fair bonus. They've offered me $30,000, and then told me they weren't going to call anymore." Gene Handley is the Cubs' West Coast scout who recommended Segelke and made the first i TRIM'S ARENA I. mr I I t-ni 1 IV lIMIM BtVKSWKK LEISUCE HUTS OUR ANNUAL FLOOR MODEL SALE 1 3 jcK Meet and Talk to Your Favorite i XY DC Comic Super Heroes at All of 11 Meet and Talk to Your Favorita nO rftmii Cuna.

And although we'd like to attribute our fine Kentucky bourbon as the reason, we really feel it was merely Americans wanting a piece of the Bicentennial as their veiy own. 1776 was when the great dream became a reality. We honestly feel that our 200lh birthday proves the dream came true.
