Show Tuesday, June 28. - Page THE HERALD. Provo, Utah. 1983 9 Connors Out, Ncavratileva Continues Finals Marc By MIKE COLLETT UPI Sports Writer WIMBLEDON, England (UPI) -Martina Navratilova, showing why she is heavily favored to retain her title, pounded out a 1 victory over Jennifer Mundel today to earn a semifinal berth against another South African Yvonne Vermaak, in the $1.4 million Wimbledon Tennis Championships. In a big surprise Monday, 12th seeded Kevin Curren of South Africa ousted top seed and defending champion Jimmy Connors 3 6-- 1 6-- with my wrist to keep my opponent guessing up until the last moment," Curren said. Curren refused to be psyched out by Connors, who was warned for an audible obscenity after Curren blistered an ace past him. "It's no good putting these guys on a pedestal," lie said. "You have got to have a positive attitude." Curren's unexpected victory earned him a quarterfinal berth Tim Mayotte against of the U.S., who outplayed Australian qualifier John McCurdy. 6 0, l t 16th-seede- 6-- 6-- 3, Other Monday 7-- 6. matches saw second-seeJohn McEnroe struggling past Bill If d Scanlon and also won.

Wimbledon crown, continued to display the awesome power which has marked her progress through the four previous rounds. x Navratilova, who has only dropped 19 games to reach the semifinals, needed only 47 minutes to dispose of the unseeded Mundel. Navratilova broke hardly raised a sweat on a sunbaked No. 1 court. Mundel gave Navratilova trouble in the opening set, when she came back from 2 to 2 breaking Navratilova's serve in the third game. Curren blasted Connors with his big serve, unleashing an incredible 33 aces. Connors, with reputedly the best return of service in tennis, still was overhelmed by Curren's rocket serve. Curren, a former University of Texas star seeded 12th at Wimbledon, had 0-- dangerous grasscourt player, there's no doubt about that. It doesn't affect my game whatsoever, however. I've got a tough road ahead, anyway," said McEnroe, who next meets S?ndy w aner Mayer, a Mike against lJj her opponent five times and more than 70 service winners in duel on the the No. 2 court, a traditional graveyard for so many tournament favorites in the past. Although Curren defeated Connors when they last met in Brussels, he had never before beaten him on grass. "I knew if I served well, I was there," a delighted Curren said. "To beat Connors at Wimbledon must be the finest win of my career. Jimmy Connors has probably the best return of serve in the game but he was having a lot of trouble today. Curren's explosive serve was the key to his success against Connors, who never got into his in rhythm and uncharacteristically stayed back on his own service for most of the time. Connors, who won the title here for the first time in 1974 and regained his world No. 1 status last year with triumphs at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, was so disappointed after the defeat that he left immediately without making Connors matches high- lighted yesterday's action in the Wimbledon Week tennis tourney at Sherwood Hills Racquet Club.

"It's time we stood up and told what's going on," Auerbach told a morning news conference to which only four newspapers were invited. "He (Sandquist) has let us on. He indicates that if we do something a certain way, than Kevin will sign. That's not the way it goes."

In a game marred by an exchange of "chin music," Cecilio Guante pitched seven innings of shutout relief Monday night to vicrecord his first major-leagu- e tory and help the Pittsburgh Pirates extend their winning streak to nine games with a 1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Guante allowed five hits while striking out two and walking two in handing the Cardinals their seventh loss in a row and giving the Pirates a sweep of the four-gam- e rain-delay- 6-- series. Pittsburgh's winning streak is the nine-gam- e ma- jors' longest this season. "We've been hitting the ball and our pitching' s been great," said Pittsburgh manager Chuck Tanner. "You put it all together and it spells victory. We went through a long dry spell and it sure is nice to enjoy this. This is a good night, no matter what time it is." Guante relieved John Candelaria in the third after Candelaria and Chuck Tanner were ejected by plate umpire Joe West after St. Louis pitcher Joaquin Andujar was brushed back with a pitch. Both benches emptied and Pirate pitcher Jim Bibby was also ejected. Both teams had been warned after Andujar threw two brush-bac- k pitches and Pittsburgh batters in the top of the inning. "Somebody did us a favor," said Tanner. "He (Andujar) turned us around and got our guys fired up." "In my eyes, it is settled unless he throws at me," said Candelaria. "If he does I'm going to walk out and kick his (butt). He's a friend. I hope he still is. I hope he understands it's part of the game and realizes what he was doing. I think he knows. I'm sure Joaquin was just more frustrated than anything." Rain delayed the game for two hours and 20 minutes in the top of the fifth and after play resumed, .w 111 II 'f.n.'.v - liiMiyrir wn ,m i m . imi.il.

Avila continued catching. McBee withdrew the protest in the ninth inning. The Lakers banged out 24 hits, including 10 doubles and three triples. Jim Morris led the attack with four hits and three RBI, with Greg Oniate, Patterson and Hash each getting three hits. The Lakers and Flyers square off again tonight a 7 p.m. in the final game of their three game series in Ogden.
