like Jack Arnold Palmer or Tom Tell you the same the us Gas rules committee is like the supreme court in More ways than it numbers 10 men and it took them about As much time As the supreme court before allowing a woman to sit with Betsy Rawls now does that with the rules committee the same Way Sandra Day Oconnor does with the the country highest what Ive always liked about Joe Dey is his straightforwardness and disinclination to Duck any Issue no matter How Sticky it a onetime baseball writer for a Cou ple of Philadelphia papers no longer in the Ledger and the morning Dey still maintains his interest in most of the other but there is Only one primary sport As far As Hes Golf is the cleanest game he says in that definitive Way of you never hear of any Point do you he i dont

referee at both those contrary to his Hogan was very chatty playing his last 18 Dey he was out in 32 and Back in 39 for the morning round and he was mad about that he said in Gonna Burn it up in the in the he went out in 35 and came Back in so he did each nine in 32 that Day on a brute of a on the seventh Hole of the afternoon he saw All the people in the gallery scrambling for position and he said to spectators in sports put up with an awful dont they i said 1 didst think baseball or football spectators did and he said he meant Golf they have to Park their cars a mile the policemen push

behaviour whenever he plays in this but according to the 24yearold right hander from his new found Success is All Down to a change in mental attitude which threatens to end his longstanding Bond of affection with the British Tennis i dont worry so much these Days about what people think of said Mayotte after posting a 76 second round Victory Over Tom Gullikson on thursday at the Queens club

excellent he won the inaugural Del Ray Beach tournament earlier this year and then reached the final of the prestigious act event at Dallas where he beat Andres Mats Wilander and Joakim Nystrom before losing in the final to Ivan just because a player behaves Well on that does not mean he has a winning Mayotte told the associated in not going to Start shouting my Mouth off and throwing my Racket around that not having a winning attitude either and its not in my but i am trying a Mayotte explained in the if i got a bad Call i would Brood and Tell myself i was not destined to win i make my Point if i think a Call is incorrect but if the Umpire does not change the i get on with the next Point and think no More about does Mayotte think his new approach will alienate him from his British fans at Wimbledon later this month i certainly Hope but the Public should not notice that much of a being volatile is not part of my its just that in a Little More More focussed and More after four years on the Mayotte has climbed to his highest Ever world rank ing but still harbours a Strong desire to win a grand slam he reached the semifinals at Wimbledon in 1982 and the last eight in 1981 and

sanctions against private lets say hypothetically you got arrested from a drug thing and went to rehabilitate you went Back to your Job and they you cant go Back for five or 10 would that be violating your rights As a citizen id want to see the whole Bill and ask our attorneys Are they violating the individual rights of those players by prohibiting them from performing at their jobs i dont he the proposed by Michael would ban convicted professional athletes from participating As con coaches or managers for five years from the Date of if the Bill becomes several members of the Kansas City
