McEn roe, Connors
win, Mayer upset
LONDON (AP)- John McEnroe and
Jimmy Connors, the top two seeds,
were easy straight-set winners in the
second round of the $172,000 Stella Ar-
tois tennis tournament at the Queen's
Club yesterday, but fellow American,
Sandy Mayer, the No. 3 seed, was upset.
While McEnroe ousted Australia's
Charlie Fancutt 6-3, 6-2 and Connors
disposed of John Fitzgerald, another
Aussie, 6-0, 6-1, Mayer, ranked eighth in
the world, was beaten by obscure Eddie
Edwards of South Africa.
EDWARDS, WHO is not rated high
enough to qualify automatically for this
month's Wimbledon championships,
surprised Mayer 6-4, 3-6, 10-8.
Edwards is No. 141 on the world com-
puter rankings. He said he would not
make the cutoff for Wimbledon, which
starts June 21, and would have to play
the qualifying tournament.
Edwards' victory moved him into the
third round of the tuneup tournament
for Wimbledon.
DESPITE THE loss, Mayer is expec-
ted to be high on the list when the Wim-
bledon seedings are announced next
Monday.
The American had a match point at 5-
3 in the second set and did not appear in
danger of losing. At 40-30 he returned
Edwards' service short and moved in at
the net, but the South African passed
him with a cross-court backhand.
"I think he slipped a bit as he turned
to chase my shot," Edwards said.
MCENROE BEAT Fancutt after
winning a vital point on a controversial
line call.
After gaining an early service break
and then losing his lead, McEnroe
broke through again at 5-3. He got the
winning point in that game when Fan-
cutt hit a smooth backhand smash and
the umpire overruled a linesman and
called the ball out.
The angry Australian disputed the
decision for two minutes before going
on with the next game. McEnroe, who
has been in trouble with umpires at this
tournament for the past two years,
stood quietly on his baseline this time
and did not say a word.
CONNORS WAS the most impressive
player of the day. Against Fitzgerald,
he dropped only eight points in six ser-
vice games.
Lloyd, who won the mixed doubles in
the French Open with Wendy Turnbull
of Australia last weekend, won a
seesaw match against Australia's
Peter Johnston 7-6, 2-6, 6-4.
Tim Wilkison, who injured an ankle in
a fall in his first round match Tuesday,
prepared to fly home to the United
States. A tournament. spokesman said
Wilkison had damaged ligaments and
would not be unable to play at Wim-
bledon.

John McEnroe returns a shot in a match earlier in the year. McEnroe

the Artois tennis tournament in London.
SPORTS OF THE DAILY:
Austin withdraws from tournament
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP)-
Tracy Austin, the U.S. Open champion,
withdrew from the Edgbaston Cup
women's tennis tournament with
stomach trouble yesterday.
She had Ito retire after one set and
almost two games of her third-round
match against Betty Stove of The
Netherlands.
BOTH STOVE and the crowd were
surprised to see the 19-year-old Austin
hurry from the court at the end of the
first set in which she led 4-1 before
losing five games in a row.
"This," said her coach Marty
Reissen, "was by arrangement made
with officials before the match started.
They knew what the trouble was and
had a washroom nearby if Tracy
needed it."
Austin did need it for more than five
minutes and she came back to the court
looking pale and too ill to continue the
match.
AFTER LOSING the first game of the
second set and trailing 40-30 in the next
game, she asked the umpire's per-
mission to leave permanently, and
walked off.
Austin, who also was ailing, along
with several other players, at the Fren-
ch championships, arrived in England
from Paris a week ago. But she was
stricken with stomach trouble over the
weekend and hasn't been well since.
After yesterday's withdrawal, she
said: "I saw a doctor before the match
and I thought I could play my way
through. With hindsight, it was the
wrong decision. I led 4-1 at the start and
played quite well, but then suddenly I
couldn't move. I felt terrible."
NOW, AUSTIN faces the problem of
getting in practice for the June 21 Wim-
bledon tournament, since she is not en-
tered for next week's grass court tour-,
nament at Eastbourne.
Meanwhile, Pam Teeguarden, the
earlier conqueror of Evonne Goolagong
Cawley, reached the third round,
beating South Africa's Sue Rollinson 4-
6, 6-0, 6-4. Betsy Nagelsen beat
American countrywoman Alycia
Moulton 6-3, 3-6, 7-6.
In other all-American matches., Nan-
cy Yeargin defeated Barbara Hallquist
6-2, 7-5, veteran Billie Jean King over-
came Lele Forood 5-7, 6-3, 6-1, and
Kathy Jordan beat Rosie Casals 6-2, 4-6,
7-6.

Sims signs
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP)- The New
England Patriots have signed defensive
lineman Kenneth Sims, the top choice
in the National Football League draft
and the cornerstone of their rebuilding
project, to a four-year contract.
The club announced the signing
yesterday. Neither the Patriots nor
Witt Stewart, Sims' agent, revealed the
details of the deal.
THE CONTRACT would not make
Sims, a 6-foot-5, 279-pounder from the
University of Texas, the highest paid
Patriots' player "at the present time,"
said New England General Manager
Bucko Kilroy. Neither he nor Stewart
would say whether any other top choice
in a draft has received a better con-
tract.
"It opens the door for me to go in and
play football, knowing I'm getting what
I'm worth," Sims said on a telephone
hookup from Texas. "I don't have to
worry about it for another four years."
New England had a 2-14 record last
season and had the poorest rushing
defense in the NFL.
