Th Independent Record, Helena, Wednesday, August 29, 1990- SCOREBOARD MARKETS! V7D star syirpirD si U.S. Open jinx continues for top-seeded player Ml i. i Capriati, who won the juniors here last year, had similar problems holding a lead in the second set. She jumped ahead 5-2, powering deep groundstrokes against the moonballs of Huber, but let the lead slip away as Huber tied it 5-5 with a crafty mixture of shots. Again facing trouble, Capriati bore down, held serve, then broke Huber with another hard forehand that Huber lunged at but could only tap backhand into the net.

Ivan Lendl, aiming to regain the top ranking that Edberg took away Aug. 13, five weeks after winning Wimbledon, easily won his first-round match and said he wasnt totally surprised by Ed-bergs defeat. Of course its an upset, but when you think about it deeply you can see how it happened, the third-seeded Lendl said after beating Martin Laurendeau, 7-5, 6- worn by Andre Agassi, a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 winner in the evening against Grant Connell. Agassi, who completed his rakish look with a dangling earring, scraggly beard and white bandana around long, black and blond hair, put on a show of power tennis in one of his best efforts since reaching the French finals. Jennifer Capriati, too young at 14 to worry about burnout, and fashionably dressed by her multi-million dollar sponsors, saved a set-point in the first set and won her Open debut as a pro, 7-5, 7-5, against a very tough 15-year-old, Anke Huber.

Capriati, astonishingly cool and strong for her age, won the first two games at love and took a 4-0 lead before Huber stormed back to win the next five games. But Capriati dug in and Huber yielded, losing a set-point in the 10th game and double-faulting on set point in the 12th. NEW YORK (AP) Stefan Edberg, a victim of tennis burnout after a summer fling in the No. 1 spot, succumbed to his U.S. Open jinx and the rocketing returns of a young Soviet star.

Alexander Volkov, the Kaliningrad Kid, wielded a bright red racket under a briliiant sun and methodically took apart a surprisingly slow Edberg, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2, Tuesday in the first opening-round defeat of a top-seeded man here in 19 years. John McEnroe, who burned out on tennis several years ago and has been struggling to come back ever since, survived pressure and tamed his temper to beat Javier Sanchez 7-6 (10-8), 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 in two hours, 42 minutes of high on the stadium court. McEnroes bizarre countenance his eyes glowed through a mask of white sunscreen beneath a broad pink bandana was outdone only by the strange ensemble of neon lime, black and white Alexander Volkov ov the Soviet Union smiles after upsetting top-seeded Stefan Edberg. A dejected Stefan Edberg sits on his chair on the side of the court after losing first-round match.

Nelles. Northern Division champion Great Falls landed three players on the All-Star squad as did Salt Lake City, a tern contending with Butte for the Southern Division championship. Butte and Billings each had one All-Star selection while Helena and Idaho Falls each had one. Going into Tuesday nights game, Castaldo was the No. 8 hitter in the Pioneer League with a .338 average.

He had appeared in 58 games and collected 75 hits in 222 trips to the plate. He had scored 50 runs and knocked in 45 runs. His hits included eight home runs, two triples and 17 doubles.

The first five Brewer batters scored the first, and only five, runs of the game for Helena as they downed Billings 5-1 on Tuesday night at Kindrick Legion Field.

Mustang pitcher Lary Leub-bers had a rough night as he walked the first three Brewers, to load the bases. With Randy Hood, Mike Carter and Vince Castaldo on base, Tim Carter singled. Hood and Mike Carter scored on the hit and Castaldo scored on an error by Mustang second baseman Bobby Filotei. To add insult to injury, Leon Glenn belted his fourth round-tripper of the year 425 feet over the right center field wall, also scoring Tim Carter.

Peeffe wants more money Now that the Detroit Lions have opened the vault for No. 1 draft pick Andre Ware, second-year quarterback Rodney Peete wants a pile of cash as well. Peete said Tuesday that he wants to renegotiate the remaining season on his two-year contract, which makes him one of the NFLs lowest-paid quarterbacks backups as well as starters.

Peete, who is expected to open the season as Detroits starter, reportedly will make a base salary of $90,000 this year. Ware, who will probably begin third on the depth chart, received a $2 million signing bonus after agreeing to a four-year contract worth $4.6 million. According the NFL Players Association, the average salary for a quarterback last season was $638,000. Total!

abrliM ebrhW 50 11 MWHtncf 4 00 1 Molltor lb (More on AMERICAN, page 2B) New 'J1 driver is not for the ordinary golfer R3P UP, FLOYD, foP HA! GOT HIM LARDY of clubs sold to the general public. But when they do, these clubs will, in my opinion, be no different than most other graphite shaft metalwoods on the market today, and produce no more distance. Only the original head design with the high center of gravity and the extremely low loft will generate significant extra distance, and only in the hands of the extremely hard-swinging, high-ball hitter. That eliminates you and me, and almost every other golfer. If you want a driver, be sure to test-hit it first.

In the instances of the two driver purchasers I encountered, it was probably $400 each down the drain. Incidentally, Nicklaus has replaced the graphite shaft on his driver with a steel one to create a feel in the club more similar to that of the other clubs in his bag. () i i I Eli TUS GOLF DOCTOR Df any of you golfers havent heard of the driver over these past few months, you haven't been paying attention. Jack Nicklaus officially introduced this club to the world this spring when he used it to hit prodigious drives in the Senior Championship and the following week in the Masters. As the story goes, he played an exhibition with Jumbo Osaki early in the year in Japan.

Jumbo was outdriving him by as much as 50 yards, and this, or course, got Jacks attention. Jumbo presented him with a driver, identical to the one that Jumbo was using. Bridgestone, manufacturer of the driver, recently began an ad campaign announcing that it ill soon introduce its line of clubs to the public. What is the secret of this club? It has undergone considerable testing by domestic golf companies. I personally have had the opportunity to test and measure two drivers that found their way into our community.

Here are the findings. The secret is in the head. It is a slightly oversize metal head 1 4 wJ which has a high center of gravity and a very low effective loft. In the hands of a tour professional like Jack Nicklaus, a very high ball hitter, it produces a low, driving shot with a tremendous amount of roll. It is especially effective in windy conditions, boring into the wind a considerable distance.

In the hands of local amateurs and area pros, the two drivers which reached our area were, however, generally unhittable. Nobody could get them airborne with any degree of consistency. Obviously Bridgestone will increase the loft DR. LARRY SCHNEIDER operates a custom golf club business in Helena.
