Page 14-Saturday, June 13, 1981-The Michig Angry MeEnroe on Doily Walkout postpones Rose's record chase I wins LONDON (AP) - John McEnroe crushed Hank Pfister 6-2, 7-5 yesterday to move into the semifinals of the $150,000 Stella Artois Grand Prix Ten- nis Tournament at the Queen's Club and then launched a blistering attack on the umpire. The 22-year-old New York left-hander was involved in a series of disputes with the official, Ian Stirk, during the center court match. MCENROE, BIDDING for a third straight victory in the Queen's Club tourney, has yet to drop a set and always was in command against his strong-serving fellow American. He had rather less control over his temperament.. The trouble started when Stirk refused to turnoff the rmicrophone when talking to the players, but both McEnroe and Pfister were consistently angered by the official's rulings. "He did a lousy job," said McEnroe. "I asked him not to have the mike on when he was talking to us, but he con- tinued to do so. It was stubbornness and stupidity and only fueled trouble," PHILADELPHIA (AP) - "Hit No. 3,630 will have to wait another day or two or whatever it takes," Philadelphia's Pete Rose said yester- day, trying to take a philosophical ap- proach to the major league baseball strike. Rose got No. 3,630 Wednesday night, tying Stan Musial for the all-time National League hit record. THURSDAY WAS an off day, and Rose had hoped to break the mark last night against Atlanta's Gaylord Perry. He didn't get the chance. Major league players went on strike yesterday over the free agent compensation issue, clubs canceled games "until further notice."' "I waited 18 years and two months to break this record. I guess I can wait un- All-Time National League Leader- In Hits 1876-1981 Stan Musial 3,630 Pete yA 7 Y~wl~\\ til this situation is solved," Rose said. "I'LL JUST "have to go along. Just because I'm going after a record doesn't make me feel any different. I wish there was baseball but there's not. "It's been a long time since I had some days off in the summer. What was it, 1959?" Rose looked over the list of the Phillies' scheduled opponents - the Braves over the weekend and Cincin- nati here Monday and Tuesday. "WHAT IF IT (the strike) goes the whole home stand? Maybe I'll have to go to Houston Wednesday and try to break it off Nolan Ryan," Rose said. Rose's record-tying hit this week came off Ryan in the first inning, but then the Astros' power pitcher struck him out three times. "I'll just hang in there and hope they get this resolved quickly," said the veteran first baseman. "Maybe the owners now know the players are serious. ROSE SAID he couldn't believe when he read that the owner',s chief negotiator, Ray Grebey, asked the players' committee if they really inten- ded to strike. "That proves that Grebey didn't take us seriously," Rose said. Rose said that while he naturally was concerned for himself and the other players, he was worried that the strike might have bad after-effects with the fans. "I DON'T WANT to see the fans get down on baseball," Rose said. Rose dismissed the suggestion that the owners may have wanted a strike. "I can't imagine Calvin Griffith wan- ting a strike with a series with the New York Yankees coming up," said Rose, referring to the owner of the Minnesota Twins. "I can't imagine the Phillies wanting a strike with the crowd they expected to see me try and break the record," he added. 40 -- McEnroe ... dumps Pfister Gilbert, Thompson lead in golf tourney HARRISON, N.Y. - Gibby Gilbert MAYBE I needed something to wake fought his way back from a first-hole me up.
