The announcement preceded by two hours a news confer- ence at which majority own-' er Brad Corbett confirmed the. decision. Also fired were pitching coach Art Fowler and assistant Charlie Silvera., "I recognize this will cause a trauma with the fans . . . the fan reaction will be tough," Corbett said. "As a student of the game, Billy was one of the finest," Corbett said, "but there are causes for his firing beyond his won-loss record. There was no particular one thing." Martin, who said he hadn't slept in 48 hours, cleaned out his locker last night before the Rangers met the Boston Red Sox at Arlington Stadium. the seventh. W inning debut ARLINGTON, Tex. (A) - Fer- guson Jenkins fired a five-hitter and David Moates and Jeff Bur- roughs hit home runs to lead the Texas Rangers to a 6-0 vic- tory over the Boston Red Sox last night, providing new man- ager Frank Lucchesi with a suc, cessful debut.

Jenkins, 12-10, didn't allow a hit until Fred Lynn singled in the fourth. Yanks spanked BLOOMINGTON, Minn.

Carew and Oliva had singled and the runners .had advanced on Eric Soderholm's bunt. Major League Standings Daily Photo by KIN PINK MICHIGAN'S STEVE GROTE (30) went up high against Pur- due's John Garrett during their contest last year at Crisler Arena. Yesterday it was announced that the Wolverine cage tour to Egypt was assured. That means that Grote, Wayman Britt (32) and eight other Michigan cagers will head to the Middle East for eight games and three clinics at the end of this month. The Michigan Daily Michigan netters ace summer honors Michigan's Eric Friedler made it close but lost out to Gonzalo Nunez of Texas last Sunday in the National Amateur Men's Grass Court tennis championships held at Newport, Rhode Island. The Wolverine net ace, who reached the doubles semi- finals of the NCAA tournament this past June, was turned back by Nunez, 6-3, 3-6, 6-5. Friedler had beaten Nunez in singles earlier this year, while the combination of Nunez and Steward Keller knocked No. 1 doubles seeds Vic Amaya and Fred DeJeusus out of the NCAAtourriamenf. Three Wolverine netters received major recognition recently as Friedler, DeJesus and Amaya were all named to the eight man junior 21 and under Davis Cup squad. "By and large this has been a very successful summer," commented Michigan tennis coach Brian Eisner. Earlier in the week Victor Amaya competed in the Chicago Inter- national Tennis chakpionships and advanced past the sec- ond round before losing to professional Dick Stockton 7-6, 6-3 in a battle for a quarter-final berth. By being named to the Davis squad, opportunities like the upcoming Western Championships at Indianapolis and the U.S. Clay Court Championship at Louisville, of which Amaya is defending champion, will open to the Michigan trio. How they do in their summer tournaments will deter- mine whether they will play in the prestigous U.S Ope at Forest Hills. . For Eric Friedler, making the finals at the Amateur Grass Court championships may not be enough to get him directly into Forest Hills. "That's an amateur tournament and he was beating other amateurs," reminded Eisner.
