GUNN'S GOING FOR THE ROSES AND HE'S SEEKING A SPONSOR

          Twenty-year-old tennis player Lawrence Gunn is "banking
     on a sponsor wanting to take a chance on him and his story:
     a talented black kid from the inner city," according to
     Meri-Jo Borzilleri of the MIAMI HERALD.  After "a spotty but
     occasionally brilliant junior tennis career and one year of
     college tennis," Gunn is turning pro, likely in September. 
     He has "no agent.  No management company.  No coach."  But
     he "wants to be on his way."  Borzilleri notes that "one
     problem" for Gunn is that companies are currently "drooling
     over" Harvard sophomore James Blake, an African-American who
     recently turned pro and was the NCAA's No. 1 player this
     year.  Fila's Marty Mulligan: "It's not going to be easy for
     him. [Gunn] is fairly unknown" (MIAMI HERALD, 7/22).
