Amaya advances in tourney
I
PARIS -- Former Michigan
star Victor Amaya moved into
the third round of the French
.pen tennis tournament yester-
day, winning more easily than,
two other big money-winning
Americans, Harold Solomon and
Eddie Dibbs.
Amaya, needed, won an
easy 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over /
Hans Joachim Plots of West
Germany.
Dibbs of Miami, Fla., hurled
a racquet against the umpire's
stand in a display of disgust
with his own play against Hans
Pohmann of West Germany,
then beat him 6-3, 7-5, 6-1. And
the fifth-seeded Solomon, of Sil-
ver Springs, Md., was extended
to the limit by Sashi Menon, an
Indian who studied at Southern
California. Solomon finally pre-
vailed 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-2.
Sweden's Bjorn Borg, the
top seed in men's singles play
in the $210,000 tournament and
the winner here two years in
a row, had an easy 6-1, 6-1,
6-2 victory over Hans Kary of
Austria.
Jazzy deal
NEW ORLEANS - The New
Orleans Jazz made a deal yes-
terday with the Portland Trail
Blazers that on the surface
sounds ridiculous. Th e two
teams agreed to. trade draft
choices.
Perhaps there is more- than
meets the eye. The deal
wasn't transacted to spice up
a particularly boring NBA
board meeting, but due to
previous deals Portland owned
three second round picks in
this year's draft while the
Jazz had none.

Hawks woo Orr
CASTLE HARBOR, Bermuda
-The Chicago Black Hawks
have become the first National
Hockey League club to make a
serious pitch for the services of

agent Tuesday.
Bill Wirtz, president of the
Black Hawks, met with Orr's
agent, Alan Eagleson, over
dinner Wednesday night in
this Bermuda resort where
the NHL Players Association

what the cost. Eagleson, the

Double play
Two gloVes are not always better than one as New York Mets' Ed Kranepool and Mike Phillips
demonstrate on this play. The foul ball eluded both players as they found themselves much too
wrapped up in their work. Cubs won 2-1.
