The United States and the Soviet Union began special talks in Geneva on compliance with the unratified second strategic arms limitation treaty, which President Reagan says he is prepared to abandon. The special meeting of the Standing Consultative Commission, a Soviet-American group set up in 1972 to discuss disputes arising under arms control agreements, was requested by the Soviet Union after Mr. Reagan announced his decision on the 1979 treaty on May 27. In agreeing to the special session, the Reagan Administration said it would also use the occasion to talk about its charges of Soviet failure to abide by the treaty. A press statement issued by the U.S. Mission at the end of the session said, “The United States has agreed to this session as a sign of our desire that the Soviet Union join us in establishing an interim framework of truly mutual restraint.” The meetings are expected to last several days.
An underground document made available in Moscow says the Soviet Union can halt what it calls a backward slide only by democratizing its society and allowing a political opposition. The statement, by a group calling itself “Movement for a Socialist Renewal,” is dated Leningrad, November 21, 1985, and is addressed “to the citizens of the Soviet Union.” The document was made available to two Western reporters — Steven Hurst of NBC News and Martin Walker of The Guardian, a British newspaper — by what they said were Soviet officials. The group claiming authorship has not been previously identified, and it is impossible to determine how widespread a viewpoint it represents. It describes itself as “a group of Soviet citizens with objective information at their disposal.” Some of the points made in the document, such as the need for loosening controls, are often heard among young, Western-oriented Russians. However, the goals set out in the document go far beyond anything the Soviet leadership proposes or would consider.
Brushing aside unaccustomed political embarrassments, the British monarchy made its final preparations today for the splendor and display of a royal wedding. Rain or shine, precisely at 11:16 on Wednesday morning a glass coach drawn by two bay horses is to begin the last of three royal processions down the Mall and Whitehall to Westminster Abbey. Inside will be Sarah Ferguson, only moments away from becoming the bride of Queen Elizabeth II’s second son, Prince Andrew, and thus the newest member of the unending serial of the Windsor family. “It is going to be the best day of my life,” the future princess said in an exuberant radio interview on her last day as a commoner. “Fantastic! The more the merrier — more carriages, more pomp. Wonderful! I love it.”
A meeting between some of Europe’s Roman Catholic and Jewish figures took place today to try to resolve a dispute over the establishment of a Carmelite convent near the Auschwitz death camp in Poland, where millions of Jews were killed by the Nazis. Some Jewish organizations say that the monastery is an insult to the memory of those who died there.
King Hassan II of Morocco and Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel were reported to have held several hours of talks today at the King’s summer palace in Ifrane, but officially, Morocco has still not acknowledged the Israeli leader’s presence. No mention was made on the state-controlled radio, television or newspapers of Mr. Peres’s arrival Monday night at about 10 o’clock, or of his meetings Monday night and today at the King’s palace at the mountain resort, 100 miles east of Rabat. Meanwhile hard-line Arab nations denounced the visit. Syria announced today that it was severing all diplomatic ties with Morocco to protest Mr. Peres’s presence in Rabat. Confirmed by Israelis Mr. Peres’s visit was confirmed late last night by Israeli officials in Jerusalem. The confirmation came after a flurry of rumors spread throughout Israel and to Western capitals that Mr. Peres and a small entourage, which included Israeli radio and television, had left for Morocco.
Syria broke diplomatic relations with Morocco today, and other Arab hard-liners denounced the meeting of King Hassan II with Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel as a betrayal of their cause. But President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt voiced the hope that the meeting would advance the peace process in the Middle East, and other Arab figures awaited the outcome of King Hassan’s decision to receive Mr. Peres. It was the most dramatic gesture by an Arab leader since President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt went to Israel in 1977. Salah Khalaf, who ranks second to Yasir Arafat in the Palestine Liberation Organization, said in an interview in Tunis that King Hassan had asked for his reaction in January to such a visit. Mr. Khalaf, whose nom de guerre is Abu Iyad, said he had told the King, “The visit is not going to be useful to you and maybe you will lose.”
Attackers in small boats fired on a Spanish trawler and a Soviet fish factory ship off the Western Sahara coast, killing a Spanish sailor and wounding another. Although no group claimed responsibility, the Polisario Front has attacked fishing vessels in the area in the past. The guerrilla group is fighting for control of the former Spanish territory, now claimed by Morocco. Spanish maritime radio said the crew abandoned the trawler Andes after it was set afire by machinegun and mortar fire. Several hours later, men in a rubber launch opened fire on the Soviet ship Tito Uncriak about 90 miles south of the first attack. Spanish radio quoted sources as saying the Soviet crew returned the fire.
At least 30 explosions and several machine gun battles and rocket attacks shook part of the Afghan capital of Kabul in the past week, Western diplomats reported. They said that about 25 explosions and a two-hour gun battle were heard early on July 16 in the Darulman district where the Soviet Embassy, its cultural center and a Soviet residential complex are situated. The envoys, quoting reports from Kabul, said they did not know who was fighting and could not substantiate a report that 10 to 15 rockets had hit the embassy.
Tamil rebels exploded a powerful mine under a bus in Sri Lanka, killing 31 people and injuring 22, mostly members of the majority Sinhalese community. The guerrillas are fighting to set up an independent state for the minority Tamils in the north and east sections of the island nation. The attack occurred while leaders of a moderate Tamil faction, the United Liberation Front, were holding talks with President Junius R. Jayewardene to discuss his plan for limited autonomy for the Tamils. They reported agreement on some basic issues, but declined to give details.
The Peking bureau chief of The New York Times was expelled from China today after being detained for nearly six days on suspicion of espionage. The correspondent, John F. Burns, was ousted from the country for “activities incompatible with his status as a journalist.” The official New China News Agency said he had been involved in “deliberately breaking into Chinese areas closed to aliens, thereby violating the law governing aliens’ entry into and exit from the People’s Republic of China.” In a statement issued in New York last night, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, publisher of The Times, said, “We are grateful for the prompt resolution of the problem facing John Burns, though we regret his expulsion from China after so many years of distinguished reporting for The New York Times.”
Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone announced sweeping changes in his Cabinet and the ruling party hierarchy today after Japan’s Parliament re-elected him Prime Minister, formally ratifying his party’s landslide election victory earlier this month. The most closely watched shifts involved the so-called “new leaders,” the politicians who want to succeed Mr. Nakasone as Prime Minister and who will play a crucial role in deciding the key political issue here — how long Mr. Nakasone will stay in power after his term expires in October. Mr. Nakasone appointed two of these leaders — Noboru Takeshita and Shintaro Abe, who have held the posts of Finance Minister and Foreign Minister, respectively, since Mr. Nakasone’s first Cabinet in November 1982 — to top Liberal Democratic Party posts. The other “new leader,” Kiichi Miyazawa, the former chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party’s executive council, will become Finance Minister.
Two French agents convicted of involvement in the 1985 bombing of a Greenpeace ship in Auckland harbor were deported from New Zealand, fulfilling an agreement negotiated earlier this month, Prime Minister David Lange announced. The agents, Alain Mafart and Dominique Prieur, were en route to Hao atoll in French Polynesia, where they will be confined for three years. Lange said France has paid compensation of $7 million to New Zealand and formally apologized for the incident, in which a photographer from the environmental group died. New Zealand’s solicitor general cleared the way for the agents’ deportation by staying court proceedings against them on explosives charges.
American military and drug-enforcement officials said today that they believed they had stopped cocaine production in Bolivia for at least six months. Still, a Drug Enforcement Administration official, leading reporters through the only cocaine lab that has been captured, said that “we are disappointed” that most of the traffickers apparently found out about the drug raids in advance and vanished into the jungle. As a result, he said, expectations have been lowered about what the operation can accomplish. The public statement was the first the Americans have made, and it came a week after they arriving here for 60 days of operations against Bolivian drug traffickers.
Citing insufficient evidence, a judge in Santiago, Chile, freed 17 soldiers arrested in connection with the fatal burning of a Chilean-born permanent resident of Washington, D.C. Three officers and five noncommissioned officers remain in custody pending further investigation of the July 2 burning of Rodrigo Rojas, 19, and his companion, Carmen Quintana, 18. Quintana remains hospitalized in critical condition. The Chilean government has disputed reports that soldiers set the two teenagers afire during an anti-government protest.
President Reagan urged the South African Government today to move toward “political peace.” But he reaffirmed his opposition to stringent economic sanctions, saying that to impose them would be a “historic act of folly.” For the first time, Mr. Reagan asked the Government of President P. W. Botha to establish a “timetable” for the elimination of apartheid and to release all political prisoners. He did not set a deadline for these actions. The President’s address at the White House, which restated the basic elements of existing Administration policy, had been preceded by a monthlong reassessment of relations between the United States and South Africa. Mr. Reagan singled out Nelson Mandela, saying the jailed African National Congress leader should be freed.
Congress reacted negatively to President Reagan’s speech on South Africa. Leaders from both parties predicted that legislators would ignore his objections and adopt stringent economic sanctions. Senator Alan K. Simpson of Wyoming, the Republican whip, said of the President: “He knows we have got to do something. He knows we will do something. He knows it is an issue we cannot hide from.” Senator Richard G. Lugar, the Indiana Republican who heads the Foreign Relations Committee, expressed disappointment. He said the advice he had offered on the thrust of the speech had been largely rejected. “I think the President needs to do more,” Senator Lugar said. “I had hoped the President would take the occasion for an extraordinary message to the world. He did not do so.”
The United States, working closely with British intelligence, has provided South Africa with intelligence about the banned and exiled African National Congress, according to current and former Government officials. The congress is the principal guerrilla group seeking the overthrow of the South African Government and the end of apartheid. A senior Administration official, who did not wish to be named, categorically denied today that any intelligence on the African National Congress had been exchanged between the United States and South Africa. But the present and former officials interviewed for this article said the information, including political intelligence as well as specific warnings of planned attacks by the group, was given to South Africa by the Reagan Administration at least into the mid-1980’s, although they did not specify when during the Reagan years it began. South Africa, in return, has reported on Soviet and Cuban activities in the region, the sources said.
The South African authorities announced the capture today of “a large number” of anti-government guerrillas said to have been responsible for a series of bomb attacks around the Indian Ocean port city of Durban. The announcement followed an increase in encounters between government and guerrilla forces. Reporters were not offered an opportunity to talk to the captured guerrillas or to inspect the “large quantity of Russian arms, ammunition and explosives” reportedly seized with them.
The House of Representatives impeached a Federal official for the first time in 50 years today, charging a judge from Nevada with tax evasion and bringing “disrepute” on the Federal judiciary. The 406-to-0 vote, in effect an indictment, opens the way for a Senate trial of the 69-year-old judge, Harry E. Claiborne of Las Vegas. He is serving a two-year Federal sentence for tax evasion but has refused to resign and continues to collect his $78,000 salary at the Maxwell Air Force Base stockade in Montgomery, Ala. The Senate majority leader, Bob Dole of Kansas, said the trial would probably not begin until the fall. In refusing to give up his post, Judge Claiborne contends that he was the victim of a vendetta by Government prosecutors who were angered by his actions in the courtroom. He was convicted of failing to pay taxes on more than $100,000 in income.

The House voted unanimously to make the Social Security Administration an independent agency and prohibit the Treasury Department from using the agency’s investments to finance the federal debt. The new agency would have a three-member, bipartisan governing board and would be responsible for the old-age, survivors and disability programs and for Supplemental Security Income. Proponents of the change said that the performance of the agency had declined over the last 15 years and that the agency had been subject to political pressures.
Clerical workers who work at home are often exploited by employers, according to a Congressional committee report released today. But the committee opposed taking steps to ban such work, as labor unions have urged. “Most homeworkers are paid considerably less than their office counterparts,” the report said, adding that they “rarely have a guarantee or stable flow of work and thus do not have a dependable flow of income.”
The Administration has apologized to a Harvard researcher, Dr. William A. Haseltine, who says the Justice Department misrepresented his views on whether AIDS can be transmitted by casual contact. After receiving a complaint from Dr. Haseltine, the department apologized, saying: “We did not intend to misrepresent your views.”
The economy grew at an annual rate of only 1.1 percent in the second quarter, the weakest performance since late 1982, when the current expansion began, the Commerce Department said today. The result was perhaps the strongest evidence so far of the widespread and persistent economic malaise that has cut growth to what many regard as worrisomely low levels. Even with a hefty upward revision of the figures for the first quarter, to a 3.8 percent rate from 2.9 percent, first-half growth at a rate of 2.4 percent was far short of the Administration’s 4 percent target for the year as a whole and was significantly under the pace widely regarded as needed to prevent unemployment from rising. Various Administration spokesmen pointed to the bright spots in today’s report, particularly strong consumer spending, but Democrats leaped on it to denounce President Reagan’s economic policies.
Proposed restrictions on smoking in federal buildings go too far and should not be enacted, the Office of Personnel Management said. OPM said that the regulations would be difficult to implement and enforce. People now are permitted to smoke in all areas of federal buildings except those designated as non-smoking. The General Services Administration is seeking to allow smoking only in designated areas in the 6,800 buildings it operates, extending restrictions to employee offices.
Seven people and five companies have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta on charges of attempting to divert Lockheed C130 cargo planes and parts worth $50 million to Libya, U.S. Attorney Stephen Cowen said Tuesday night. Details of the indictment and the names of those indicted were to be released today. According to Cowen, the plot involved Libyan nationals, three California companies and two West German firms that allegedly had used the cover that the planes were to be used for oil exploration in the small West African country of Benin.
A tentative contract agreement was reached by Philadelphia officials and the union representing blue-collar workers, one day after the 12,000 workers ended their 20-day strike. Mayor W. Wilson Goode said that the accord, announced after six hours of talks, provides a 10% wage increase over two years. Wages were the only unresolved issue when the union, which represents sanitation and maintenance workers, laborers and clerks, returned to work Monday without a new contract. A ratification vote was not scheduled.
A consortium of insurance companies has agreed to provide professional liability insurance for 2,500 certified nurse-midwives, the American College of Nurse-Midwives announced. The group, which aids healthy, low-risk women, has sought an insurance carrier since members lost blanket malpractice coverage last July, when their policies were not renewed. CNA Insurance Cos. will coordinate and service the new policies, along with nine other companies.
A gunman barged into a mansion on Newport’s Millionaires’ Row early today, tied up eight people, raped one of them and made off with more than $1 million in cash and jewelry, the police said. The gunman fled the Summer Wind Estate in a taxi. A few hours later a New York City man was arrested in a Providence hotel room in connection with the robbery, said Lieutenant Edward Sullivan of the Newport, Rhode Island, Police Department. The police said they recovered most of the cash and jewelry when they arrested the man, Calvin R. Walker Jr., 29 years old, of Queens, at the Biltmore Plaza Hotel.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has charged 170 people with filing false automobile insurance claims totaling more than $1 million in 12 states and Canada. “It’s clearly the largest auto insurance fraud case in U.S. history,” said Kenneth Walton, special agent in charge of the bureau’s Michigan office, which conducted the 17-month operation.
Just a few miles below the hillside “Hollywood” sign that characterizes this city around the world, a trial opened in a Los Angeles courtroom today that promises some of the splashy drama of a guns-and-action Hollywood film. Five defendants from the motion picture industry, including the film director John Landis, are facing criminal charges linked to the deaths of the actor Vic Morrow and two children in the filming of “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” The fatal incident took place July 23, 1982, when the three were hit by a helicopter that was downed amid the firing of explosives in special effects depicting the bombing of a Vietnamese village. In the intervening four years the industry and the authorities have reassessed the safety standards governing film makers as they strive for greater and greater realism. Mr. Landis, whose film credits have included such box-office hits as “The Blues Brothers,” “National Lampoon’s Animal House” and “Trading Places,” is by all accounts the first person to stand trial for a death in connection with a movie he was directing.
A satellite relay worker confessed to Federal authorities that he overrode Home Box Office’s signal last April with a so-called “Captain Midnight” message protesting HBO’s decision to scramble its signal to block reception by non-subscribers. The accused man, John R. MacDougall, 25 years old, of Ocala, Florida, pleaded guilty to one count of illegally transmitting an interfering signal.
A dairy in Paragould, Arkansas, recalled 700,000 gallons of milk in five states after it received a threat that 200 gallons had been laced with cyanide, authorities said. Foremost Dairies Inc. ordered the milk removed from stores in Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois. Bill Teer, state Health Department spokesman, said that calls had been placed to both the Foremost plant and to the Paragould Daily Press. Roy McSpadden, Foremost district manager, said that all milk in the plant will be tested but officials said that no cyanide had been found in the milk.
Hurricane Estelle sent 20-foot waves slamming onto the southeastern shore of Hawaii, destroying at least three homes and forcing the evacuation of as many as 250 others, officials said. “We would imagine there would be quite a bit of damage” to property, said Hawaii County civil defense spokesman Wendell Hatada. The hurricane, which developed off the coast of Mexico, was 235 miles southeast of Hilo and moving west at 23 mph. It had sustained winds of 95 mph, forecasters said.
The hot, parched Southeast is suffering the cruelest summer in memory. Record-breaking temperatures have killed 26 people in six states, and many small communities are facing the possibility of exhausting their municipal water supplies before the end of the year. Farm losses are believed to exceed $1 billion.
Dick Howser had brain surgery for the removal of a tumor found to be malignant. Doctors said that only parts of the tumor were removed for fear of damaging the brain. The doctors said they would not make a prognosis for at least two days for Mr. Howser, the 50-year-old manager of the Kansas City Royals.
Martina Navratilova went home and played tennis in Czechoslovakia for the first time since she defected to the West in 1975. The international champion was assigned to a small side court at the Federation Cup matches in Prague, but thousands of people went to view and cheer her.
Major League Baseball:
Ken Griffey hits 3 solo home runs but Atlanta falls to Philadelphia 5–4 in 11 innings. Griffey is the 2nd Brave this month to hit 3 or more home runs in a losing cause. Tom Foley’s pinch-hit single with two out in the 11th inning gave Philadelphia the victory. Von Hayes, who hit a two-run homer in the first, started the winning rally
The Kansas City Royals ere edged by the Baltimore Orioles, 5–4. Cal Ripken Jr.’s solo homer with two outs in the eighth inning, Baltimore’s fourth homer of the game, sparked the Orioles. Ripken’s 15th homer of the season came off Bud Black (4–5), who relieved Bret Saberhagen, the starter, at the start of the sixth inning. The winner was Don Aase (4–3), the third Baltimore pitcher.
Cecil Cooper drove in four runs with a double and single and Rob Deer homered, giving the Milwaukee Brewers a 6–2 win over the California Angels. Rookie Juan Nieves, 9–5, pitched five innings for the victory. Bryan Clutterbuck, making his second major-league appearance, shut out California on three hits for 3 ⅓ innings.
The Cubs fire their ball girl Marla Collins when it is revealed that she posed nude for Playboy magazine. The photos will appear in the October issue and accompany shots of Marla in her Cubs uniform and one of Harry Caray pointing to a tattoo on her right thigh. The Cubs win today, 6–4, behind Ed Lynch, who ties a National League record in the 1st inning by making 3 putouts. The record was set in 1975 by another Cub, Rick Reuschel.
The Mets win a crazy five-hour marathon with the Reds in 14 innings, winning 6–3. Setting the tone, Darryl Strawberry is ejected after arguing a called 3rd strike in the 5th. In the 9th, Howard Johnson inadvertently kicks the ball after Reds catcher Bo Diaz drops a third strike. Johnson runs out of the baseline and is hit in the back with the throw from pitcher Ron Robinson. Reds coach Billy DeMars is ejected for arguing the safe call. The Mets, down 3–1, with 2 out, tie the game when Dave Parker drops a routine fly ball. In the 10th, Davey Johnson sends in pitcher Rick Aguilera to hit for pitcher Doug Sisk. Aguilera walks, but is stranded. In the Reds 10th, pinch-runner Eric Davis steals second and third, bumping into Ray Knight. Knight decks Davis and both benches empty. Knight, Davis, Kevin Mitchell and Mario Soto are ejected. Gary Carter moves to third base, McDowell comes in to pitch, and Orosco moves from the mound to right field. With two out and a runner on second in the 11th, Orosco returns to pitch, McDowell moves to left field, and Mookie Wilson shifts to right. Rose protests when Orosco is permitted eight warm-up pitches. Orosco whiffs Max Venable to end the inning. In the 12th, the Mets are forced to lead off the inning with Orosco and McDowell, and go down in order. McDowell returns to pitch in the 13th and gets Tony Perez to fly to Orosco in right. Howard Johnson belts a three-run homer in the 14th, scoring Hearn and Orosco, and the latter won’t score another run until 2002. McDowell retires the side in order. For the scorekeeper Orosco (O) and McDowell (Mc) pitch to these batters in the last 5 innings: 10th: O – 3, Mc – 1; 11th: O –1, Mc – 3; 12th: O – 4; 13th: Mc – 3; 14th: Mc – 3.
The Cleveland Indians downed the Chicago White Sox, 8–4. Chris Bando’s two-run double capped a six-run first inning and Tony Bernazard had two of Cleveland’s eight hits. Tom Candiotti (9–7) pitched his ninth complete-game victory, allowing eight hits and three walks. The right-handed knuckleballer has won six of his last seven decisions.
The Detroit Tigers shut out the Minnesota Twins, 3–0. John Grubb hit two homers and drove in three runs and Walt Terrell pitched one-hit ball for eight innings for the Tigers. Terrell (9–8) held Minnesota hitless until the sixth inning, when Kent Hrbek doubled with two outs. Terrell left the game with two outs in the ninth after singles by Hrbek and Tim Laudner and a walk loaded the bases. Willie Hernandez got the final out for his 19th save.
The Houston Astros blanked the Montreal Expos, 1–0. Glenn Davis led off the bottom of the 10th with a home run to give the Astros their fifth straight victory. The Expos managed only one hit — an infield single by Billy Hatcher in the fourth inning — off Nolan Ryan, who went 9 and one-third innings, and Dave Smith (3–6).
Dennis Rasmussen continued to confound opposing hitters and inspire his own last night, but he also gave the Yankees a brief fright when a line drive struck him on the back of the left arm just above his elbow. Allowing three hits in six and two-thirds innings, Rasmussen recorded his 12th victory against two defeats as the Yankees cruised past the Texas Rangers, 9–1, and reduced Boston’s division lead over them to four games. That is the Yankees’ smallest deficit in four weeks. The Yankees slugged four home runs — Don Mattingly’s bases-empty shot in the first inning, Dave Winfield’s two-run blow later in the inning against Ed Correa and consecutive-pitch home runs by Rickey Henderson and Claudell Washington off Jeff Russell in the sixth.
Joaquin Andujar pitched a six-hitter and Dave Kingman hit a two-run single off Tom Seaver in a three-run first inning today, lifting the Oakland A’s to a 4–2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Andujar (6–2), who was making only his second start since June 6, surrendered six hits and two walks over seven and one-third innings in posting his second victory over the Red Sox this year. The right-hander hurled a five-hitter at Fenway Park May 2 for his only complete game of this season. Rich Gedman hit a two-run homer for Boston, which lost its third straight game and sixth in the last seven. Oakland has won seven of its last eight games. Seaver, 4–8 over all and 2–2 with the Red Sox, failed for the third consecutive time to gain his 309th victory. The 41-year-old pitcher went six and two-thirds innings and surrendered only six hits, but three of those hits — as well as a walk and a wild pitch — came in the first inning, when the A’s grabbed a 3–0 lead.
Reggie Williams hit a two-run homer as Los Angeles rallied for three ninth-inning runs against reliever Cecilio Guante to beat Pittsburgh, 4–3. Rick Rhoden and Larry McWilliams had combined to check the Dodgers on one run and six hits over the first eight innings until Guante came in to work the ninth.
Phil Bradley singled up the middle to give Seattle an 8–7 victory in 12 innings over Toronto. Seattle rallied from a 4–0 deficit to take a 6–5 lead in the fourth inning. Toronto tied it in the eighth on a home run by Willie Upshaw. Danny Tartabull, Seattle’s right fielder, preserved the tie game when he threw out Garth Iorg.
The St. Louis Cardinals out-pummeled the San Francisco Giants, 10–7. A benches-clearing brawl occurred with two out in the top of the seventh inning when the Giants’ fourth pitcher, Frank Williams, brushed back Vince Coleman of the Cardinals. Bob Davidson, the home-plate umpire, immediately warned Williams and both benches. On the next pitch, Williams hit Coleman in the foot and was ejected. Both benches cleared and came out to home plate. Whitey Herzog, the Cardinals’ manager, and Roger Craig, the Giants’ manager, engaged in an argument. The two began bumping and then pushing each other, creating numerous wrestling matches among players. Three Giants — Chris Brown, who tackled Coleman, Craig and Williams — were ejected. Bob Lillis served as Giants’ manager in Craig’s absence and Jeff Robinson replaced Williams on the mound.

Wall Street yesterday enjoyed its best gain in more than a month as the slumping Dow Jones industrials recovered a modest 16 points after a report that the nation’s economy in the first quarter was not as weak as previously thought. In focusing on the Commerce Department’s upward revision of first-quarter growth to 3.8 percent, from 2.9 percent, the investment community shrugged off the department’s announcement that the gross national product grew at an annual rate of just 1.1 percent in the second quarter. The Dow, in its best performance since a nearly 24-point rise on June 20, gained 16.02 points yesterday, to 1,795.13, the closest the blue-chip index has been to 1,800 in a week and a half.
