| Timbers second in NASL
playing in Co

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —
Portland Timbersseem to be
the best-kept secret of the
North American Soccer
League.

They’ve won 17
games, second-best In the
league, are locked in the
tightest race in the National
Sonference and have shut
out thelr last four opponents.
They. lead the Western
Division with i388 points,
seven more than Vancouver
Whitecaps who have a game
in hand. :

At one point the Timbers
won a league-record nine
games in a row and they're

of 33

threatening seven other
NASL marks.

Still, they play in_ the
shadow of New ¥ ork

Cosmos, the team with the
league's best record at 16-4.
While the Cosmos feature
a lineup of international
stars playing before crowds
in excess of 40,000, the
Timbers are for the most
part a bunch of Eng-
lishmennwith a few North
Americans thrown in. Their
crowds have averaged
slightly more than 16,000 at
rickety Civic Stadium, down
considerably from a year
ago when the Timbers
finished lastin their divigton.
Their games often are not
completed in time to make
the Bastern papers.
DEFEATED COSMOF
When New York came to
Portland earlier this season,
the Timbers won 2-l in a.

smos shadow

shootout to hand the Cosmos
their firat loss.

“You can look: at any
guccessiul side and see
confidence and a belief in

- them selves on the part of the

players,’’ said Don Megson,
who came from England to
coach the Timbers this
season. “We've got a good
-game going-- first-class
entertainment—that’s what
it's all about, really.”

" Megson was known for his
traditional methods in
England, but he’s tran:
sformed the Timbers from a
dissension-ridden team to
one with playerf who can’t
seem to say enough nice
things about each other.

‘Phe character of the side
and the way they get along
with one another is first
class,'’ said’ Megson, who
thinkf winning will get: the
crowds back at Pogtland
soccer gam es,

The Timbers’ experienced
success early and have had
difficulty living up to those
early expectations. In 1975,
their firat year, they made it
to the Soccer Bowl before
Josing to Tampa Bay. They
haven't been close since.
-Meégson has based his
team. on tight defence—
resulting in consecutive
shutout victories the last
four games over Rochester,
Minnesota, Oakland and San
Jose..The latter was a 5-0
whitewash before Portland's
largest home crowd of the
season, more

than 15,000.

Now that Borg is No. 1
court manners may change

WIMBLEDON (AP) —
Now that Bjorn Borg has,
established himself as No. 1
in the world of men's tenals,
apt to relgn for years, there
ia hope for a widespread
change in court manners.

“The kids.quickly adopt a

‘hero, they always copy the

cmampion,’? one highly:
placed U.S. official wae
heard to remark after
watching Borg ByS-
tematically disect’ Jimmy
Connors innthe Wimbledon
final. “They could have no
better example. than Borg.”

In recent years, spurred
by the tennis boom and
absence of authority, the
game has-been moving
toward a state of anarchy.

Umpires and linesmen
have become open targets
for abuse, the fang for infults
and profanity. Kids have
been learning to throw
raquets before mastering the
proper toss of a serve, Their
vocabulary would make 4
showgirl blush.

Brian James, writing in
the London Daily Mail, took
note of It during Wim-
bledon’s latter stages when
teen-agers and first-round
losers took over the outer
courts for the Consolation
Plate and the Juniora.

“The game is being
gouged by shrapnel from the
great American tennis ex-
plosion of the last 10 years,”
James wrote,

bledon, 106 came from the

He cited 19-year-old John
McEnroe, a semi-finalist a
year ago, as one of the chief
offenders, recalling ~thia
incident after,
Douglastown, N.Y., player
had been eliminated—
gesturing and growling—on
an outside court:

Connors who openly
acknowledged that he was

in the last couple of years.
He was epitome of grace and

SAN DIEGO (AP)
Reggie Jackson, the New
York Yankees’ controveralal
slugger, stole the spotlight
from starting pitchers Vida
Blue and Jim Palmer on
Monday night when he pulled
out of the 49th all-star
baseball game because of a

high fever.

In an Ironic twist, Jackson
will be replaced tonight by
team-mate Graig Nettles,
who ‘earlier had been
scratched as the American
League's backup third
baseman with an injured toe,

Jackson was scheduled to
be the AL's starting centre
flelder and his removal
came several hours after
Manager Billy Martin
rapped the fan balloting
which gave him an outfield

Jackson missed Monday's

then replaced him with Net:
