Her heavy schedule, which herself in a Thursday Coliseum press first 7 '-footer at JJofA By MIKE GARRETT Tonight marks the beginning of what shapes up as the biggest tennis weekend in the history of this tennis-mad city. I i i I Chris Evert were approached to do a television spectacular challenge match on the order of Newcombe-Connors but nothing definite has come of it yet. There's no question BJK will be the top tennis attraction in Phoenix this weekend. She will also team with Tony Trabert as the 3-1 favorite (according to Jimmy The Greek Snyder) to win the $60,000 Mixed Doubles Classic Saturday and Sunday at John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch.

Margaret Court and Frank Sedgman are rated 4-1 with Rosemary Casals and Pancho Gonzales as their chief opponents. The Sets tonight will be without Virginia Wade, who made a commitment to play only 33 of 44 WTT matches this year and is currently playing British Federation Cup matches. She'll join the Sets around May 21, Billie Jean pointed out.

But she thinks other women will break into WTT coaching, mentioning Betty Stove, who will play here Saturday night with the Golden Gaters as a coaching possibility. Mrs. King also stressed the team aspect of WTT. There's no such thing as a "Big Mama" or a "Big Daddy" on a team due to the WTT team concept.

Allen struck out Adams, but Brown laced a shot into right center to score Redmon easily with the winning run. "I'm not sure what kind of pitch I hit," said Brown. "I just know it was a strike and I wanted to hit it hard. I've been hitting 'em at people lately, but this time 1 aimed one in the right direction." The pitching victory went to veteran Ed Sukla, who worked two scoreless innings.

Currently, he is helping form a professional karate league, with teams in eight cities. He has a string of 26 karate studios, most of them now franchised.

He will appear in 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. performances of the "Mysterious World of the Martial Arts" Saturday at Arizo- na State's Activity Center.

Norris terms it "an Expo, because it is the first time we have gathered this many Grand Masters together to demonstrate martial arts techniques." He points to the Lee brothers, Joo Bang and Joo Sang, who are described as the foremost martial artists in the world when it comes to mindbody or mind over matter techniques. Joo Sang's specialties include splitting a melon on the head or chest of a person, with a sword while blindfolded, sticking a bicycle wire through his bicep and using it to pull an automobile and demonstrating his mastery of acupuncture. Bob Shipstad (of Follies' fame) will be on hand to look over the performance. He and Norris may. promote a tour of some of the performers.

1 Like an increasing number of sports stars, Norris credits liis competitive successes to the application of psychov cybernetics techniques. "The greatest benefits of the martial arts are not so much physical," he said. "Running, weight-lifting, other exercises will accomplish that. But, they don't work on the mind. Mental discipline in the martial arts is so important.

"We encounter so many negative things in life that pull us down. But practice of the martial arts pulls you above that rut, to a positive And discipline on a mat can carry over to the home, classroom, to your whole life.

"I'm afraid so," he continued.

"Their good lefthanders (Weber and Seaman) will negate our lefthanded punch, and we have to hope Mike Colbern, Bob Pate and Chris Nyman can give us the needed righthanded hitting."

Leon Brown spanked a double up the gap in right center field with one out in the ninth inning to score Glenn Redmon with the winning run as the Giants clipped the Dukes, 8-7, in the opener of a five-game series. It was the sixth straight victory for the Giants and it vaulted them into first place in the Pacific Coast League East, one-half game ahead of the Dukes. First place will be on the line again at 7:30 tonight with Don Rose (2-1) of the Giants opposing Rick Nitz (1-1). It's 10-cent beer night. The Giants, who have come from behind to win eight times in the first three weeks of the season, overcome an early 4-0 deficit and another that reached 7-4 in the seventh inning.

The Dukes scored twice in the second and twice in the third off Phoenix starter John Sielicki when the Giants unveiled a secret weapon the long ball to tie the proceedings. After walks to Redmon and Jimmy Williams in the Phoenix third, Glenn Adams unloaded a tremendous 425-foot home run over the right field fence.

was not very intelligent," he recalled. "Nowhere near a straight A student. I was not an exceptional athlete. I played football, but was second string and sat on the bench. "I had several strikes against me.

I was from a poverty area and had nothing working for me, financially or physically. Only desire and determination. But if you have those two, plus a positive attitude, you can make it." Norris is walking proof. At 35, he is famous, well-off financially with a nation-wide string of franchised studios, a world champion athlete and is currently pursuing a movie career. Like most self-made successes, Chuck found a turning point in his life.

At 18, he joined the Air Force and was sent to Korea. To bolster his sagging confidence, he started martial arts training. When he left the service in 1962, Chuck intended to become a policeman in Torrance, Calif. But there was a long waiting list. In the meantime, he opened a karate studio.

Students did not come flocking, to put it mildly. "I gave exhibitions anywhere I was asked," he laughed, "even on dirt surfaces. For publicity, I began fighting." By 1968, he had won every major karate tournament in the U.S. Then he turned professional and has held the world middleweight title ever since something he will relinquish May 10 when he officially retires at the World Professional Karate Championships in New York, which will be nationally televised on ABC's Wide World of Sports. His acting career came by accident.

At the Internationals competition in '68, Mexico "Seaman has had trouble going the full nine, and Bob Leigh (UNM coach) tells me we can't get Albuquerque Sports Stadium until 6 (New Mexico time). So that means a seven-inning game before the nine." Do the Devils have to win three? "No," said Brock, "we haye to win two (which would send A-State over 50 victories for the fourth time in the past five years).
