She was almost too good to be true. Chris Evert, only 16, had soft china blue eyes, long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail and an incredibly appealing way about her that was turning even regular racetrack goers into red hot tennis fans overnight. That was two years ago at Forest Hills. The U.S.

Open was going on and everybody was talking about only one of the contestants Chris Evert. They carried on about her as if she were the new Joan of Arc. She lost to Billie Jean King in the semifinals that year but the defeat didn't kill any of her lustre. I saw Chris Evert for the first time since then Tuesday and it's nice to be able to report that same natural unspoiled quality still is there, except for one change. She's a professional now, and you can see that immediately.

Chris Evert still wears here hair the same way and manifests that same ingenuous simplicity, but there's nothing littJegirl about her anymore. She's much more sure of herself, more poised. She's 18 now, and no longer a little girl but a mature both-feet-on-tne- ground young lady. Chris Evert concedes as much. "I'm starting to get more businesslike," she says.

"The biggest difference between playing amateur and professional tennis is a little more pressure. Before I could go out and play and not really care if I lost. Now a lot of things are dif- ferejit. I have to practice for an hour, and last week in Akron I was on my own, alone for the first time without my father or mother." "You practiced before, too, didn't, you? "I said to her. "Yes, but it's much different now said.

Chris Kvert is just about finishing her first 90 days as a pro, and with some that's the roughest With her, it wasn't. She. lias made three starts since turning pro following her IHIh birthday last Dec. 21 and won (wire. rhns made her debut in the $50,000 S.

In little more than three weeks in fact, she has picked up $18,350, and she's 'looking to add to that in the $30,000 Lady Gotham Classic which gets underway tonight in Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum. Chris still calls her parents 5n Fort Lauderdale after tournament, and on occasion, she'll be on that phone an hour with her boy friend, Miami's Jimmy Connors, leading money winner on the men's U.S.L.T.A. circuit, but when she gets out there on the court, she forgets everything else and suddenly becomes all business.

'She's more consistent than most of us," points out Patti Hogan of La Jolla, one. of the other girls the U.S.L.T.A. women's prize money circuit. "She knows exactly what she can do, and doesn't try to do what she can't do. Do Yeah, in a tight situation.

You try a shot you don't have in the hope it'll go in. Sometimes it docs and you look like a hero. Most of the time it doesn't though, and you know what you look like then." Olga Morozova, Russia's fine looking 24-year-old, is like most Russians. She's on the conservative side, not quick to lavish praise. But you can tell the way she feels about Chris Evert's game.

"She's all right," says Olga. "Quite all right! You understand Russian? 'Ochen horo- That mean 'very For example, I like to play serve and volley; she plays baseline. There is a big difference." There is indeed. As Mike Blanchard, the girls' 'tour director, says of Chris: "On the court she's very composed with tremendous powers of concentration. When she's out there playing, she concentrates on the ball like a hawk.

She sees nothing else, hears nothing else." Patti Hogan breaks it down another way. "If you're very good in what we're doing now, you can ma ke a lotta money," she says. "If you're just pretty good, you can still do fairly well. You ask me will Chris Evert make a lot of money?" Patti Hogan laughed, then said: "She already has." Adv for Hockey Standing CnAZ.

Scholastic Tennis Hershty 7, HempfieW 0 amis Big Day In March For Giants By UNITID MISS INTERNATIONAL It was only a day in March, and the opposition was only San Diego, but what the San Francisco Giants saw Tuesday still had to be heartening.

Juan Marichal, working himself back into shape after winning just six games last year when he was bothered by a bad back, pitched seven hitless innings. And Willie McCovey, who hurt his elbow early in the 1972 season and wound up with a meager .213 batting average, hit a two-run homer. What it all added up to was a 6-0 victory for the Giants over the Padres. Marichal, who underwent spinal surgery during the winter and had feared his career might be at an end, was more than pleased with the effort which.ran his spring scoreless streak to 13 innings. "I throw hard today, real said.

The high-kicking right- hander wrapped his 34-year-old arm in towels and soaked it in ice after the game, but said there was nothing wrong with it. "It is not sore," he said. "I just have been soaking it after the last three times I pitched. I just decided to try it and my arm felt so good, I said to myself, 'Why stop doing it if it feels so good?" A Marichal who feels good and pitches that way and a healthy McCovey are the best tonics Giants Manager Charlie Fox could find. San Francisco won the Western Division title in the National League in 1971 and last spring, after Sam McDowell joined Marichal on the San Francisco staff, Fox boldly announced they would win 50 Eric Bomberger Takes Second In State Diving Championships Mountainview Opens At PN Friday Night GRANTVILLE The Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing Association opens a 50- night stand at the Penn National Race Course on Friday evening.

The Mountainview meet extends until May 26, with another 50-night session scheduled for July 25 through September 20. Mountainview, domiciled last season at Pitt Park near' Pittsburgh, is headed by Peter M. Carlino of Reading. Mr. Carlino is also president of the Penn Title Insurance Company.

"We expect an excellent meeting," says the youthful Mountainview president. The early-season handle and attendance marks established at Penn National have clearly displayed the popularity and acceptance of thoroughbred racing in South Central Pennsylvania. We intend to do everything we can to better those marks, be sure the sport prospers, and maintain the finest racing possible 'while serving the great fans of this region," said Mr. Carlino, who is now occupying offices at the Penn National Race Course. Mountainview, formerly known as the Pitt Park Racing Association, moved to Penn National late last season.

"Several unalterable problems faced us at Pitt Park," Carlino said. "For one thing, the racing dates we worked with were poor ones. Also, the competition generated by the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team certainly didn't help." Carlino, voicing tremendous optimism, added, "things, in many respects, will be different at Penn National. Although forecasting probable results is a hazardous occupation, I am supremely confident that Mounlainview will have a great year here at Penn National. In addition to Mr.

Carlino, Mountainview's other officers are Joseph C. Cascardo, vice president of the group and president of the Allegheny Contracting Company of Pittsburgh and Mrs. Ethel K. Watson, who functions in the dual capacity of sccrotary- tr'oasurer. Mountainview's board of directors is made up of Mr.

Mr. Cascardo, Mrs. Watson and Edward Fripcn- b.uim, a Pittsburgh businessman connected with the firoup since its inception; his wile Henrietta; Melvin Schwartz, a Pittsburgh attorney; Brrn Neumann, controller at Penn National; and Joseph S. H.imbo, senior member of the brokerage firm of Jatinoy, Montgomery and Scott. Mountainview will maintain a six-night-per week raring schedule with only Sundays being dark.

Nine races will he featured between Monday and Thursday evenings, with ten races carded on Friday and Saturday nights. Post time for all evenings is 7:30 p.m. The Mercersburg Academy pool was teeming with excitement as boys representing 41 teams from all over the Commonwealth were waiting for the State YMCA Swimming and Diving Championships to begin. To some, the trip to Chambersburg this past weekend was the culmination of a year's hopeful striving; to others, it was only a stepping stone to- Mid-Atlantic and National contests. Lebanon boys medaled in three of the six events they entered and accounted for four team records.

These medalists are now entitled to participate in the Mid-Atlantic Championships held April 13-14 at Princeton University in New Jersey. Without a doubt the best local showing was made by Eric Bomberger, who dove to a coveted silver 2nd in the Cadet division. He also made his first entry into the team record book by compiling 123.60 his highest total for the season. Finishing second in the entire state is a remarkable feat, especially when one considers the fact that this is Eric's FIRST year in diving competition! It is indeed a personal triumph to accomplish so much, so soon. In the same class, Don Carpenter totaled 95.75 pts.

to end up in a very respectable 8th position. Lebanon's remaining two medals were earned by Scott Weik in the 14-and-under swimming portion of the meet. Out of a field of 18, he touched 4th in the 50 yd. free (24.52) and 6th in the 100 yd. free (56.45).

In both races Scott smashed the team records he set at Regionals 2 weeks agoi A fourth team mark was supplied by Junior Grimes even though he failed to gain a medal. He clocked his best time of the year (1:02.62) to come in a most creditable 8th in the 100 yd. backstroke. Scott and Brad had a busy day as they also conspired with Jeff Morrow and Ned Wolfe to finish 8th in the 200 yd. medley relay games between them.

Instead they won only 16, McCovey was a cripple, the Giants dropped all the way to fifth place, and now McDowell is contemplating retirement. Don Carrithers and Elias Sosa finished up the game for the Giants. San Diego got only one hit. In other exhibition games Tuesday, Jim Bibby stopped Pittsburgh on two hits in six innings as St. Louis scored a 2-1 victory, Milwaukee beat California and Nolan Ryan 8-6, Dave Concepcion singled home the winning run in the eighth inning' as Cincinnati edged Los Angeles 5-4, John Curtis and Craig Shkok pitched Boston over 'the New York Mets 3-2 and Rich Reese's two- run homer in the eighth inning lifted Detroit over Philadelphia 8-7.

Minnesota beat Baltimore 63, the Chicago White Sox trimmed Atlanta 7-3, Kansas City beat the New York Yankees 4-2 behind the pitching of rookie Steve Busby, Montreal whipped Houston 4-2 and Cleveland blanked Oakland 4-0. Jim Perry, the American League's Cy Young Award winner in 1970 when he had a 24-12 record, was traded by the Minnesota Twins to Detroit for minor league pitcher Danny Fife. Bears Host Baltimore NASCAR Stars Booked At Sel-Wil Grove Ovals SELINSGROVE The stars and cars of NASCAR the top name in professional late model racing will be appearing at both Selinsgrove and Williams Grove Speedway during the 1973 racing season. This was announced Wednesday night by Promoter Jack Gunn at a press conference at Selinsgrove, when he explained he has booked Grand National East races for both speedways. With the booking of NASCAR, Selinsgrove and Williams Grove will be the only two speedways in the Central Pennsylvania area to have the two top professional racing organizations appearing: Gunn earlier booked USAC sprint car shows for both speedways.

the NASCAR stars will be appearing at Selinsgrove on May 30 (the following night has been set as the rain date) and this will mark the first time that NASCAR will appear on the high banked oval. Benny Parsons, of Detroit, a NASCAR regular, and a long time friend of Gunn, "has told many of his fellow drivers about Selinsgrove," Gunn explained, "and be claims they feel they will put on quite a show for our fans." The Williams Grove Speedway will host the NASCAR regulars on July 18 (the following night has been set as a rain date) and although they have been at the Grove before, it is the first time that Gunn has booked them since taking ovor as promoter. Both events will be co-sanctioned by ARCA, "Which will assure us of large fields," Gunn said. "We will attempt to secure such drivers as Buddy Baker and Bobby Allison tn go along with Parsons and others, in an attempt to give our fans the best possible racing," Gunn said. Gunn also used the special press conference to announce that a 100-lap Late-Model Invi-.

tational, which will be held at Selinsgrove in mid-summer, will be named in memory of Neil Conrad, sports director of WMLP in Milton. Conrad died in early winter. "Noil pushed late model racing from the start," Gunn explained, "and he is one of the reasons that Uie popularity of late models at Selinsgrove Is second to none." Gunn added, "Last year we ran our first 100-lapper for late models and it was a huge success." The race, a real thriller, had Bobby Goodling and Bob Bender battling wheel to wheel throughout, and "Neil was extremely pleased about the race and fan support." By TINY PARRY The Hershey Bears are winding up their season series with the Baltimore Clippers to round out the "Scotty Alexander Night" program to be held before the game. The Bears can complete a season sweep with a win tonight as they have now beaten the Clippers seven times to date three of them at home and have already won the Advocate Cup awarded annually to the winner of the Expressway Series. In the games played in Chocolatetown, the Bears have won by scores of 3-2; 5-2; and 50, and in that win Paul Hoganson chalked up the first of his three shutouts to date.

The Bears won all four games played in Baltimore by scores of 7-3; 15-2 (for their season record score) 5-1 and 42, and going into tonight's season finale have piled up 44 to twelve scored by the Clippers. They will travel to Richmond on Friday night and will return home to wind up the regular season with the Robins to conclude a back-to-back series on Saturday night. The two teams are all even for the season to date with the Bears winning two of three games played at home by scores of 10-6 and 5-2, and the Robins winning one by a 4-3 count in Chocolatetown. The Robins have won two of the three games played to date in Richmond by scores of 4-1 and 4-2, while the Bears scored one win thereby a 4-2 score. Nobody Laughs At Sabres By United Press International Nobody is laughing at the Buffalo Sabres these days, least of all the Detroit Red Wings.

People snickered when the Sabres and Vancouver Canucks, born of National Hockey League expansion three seasons ago, were thrown into the Eastern Division with the league's old, established teams. They figured it would be a cold day somewhere when the Sabres finally made the Well, it's getting pretty cold in Detroit. The Sabres retained their one-point edge on the Red Wings in the battle for the fourth and final playoff spot in the NHL East by beating the New York Islanders, 3-2, Tuesday night, while Detroit was routing Toronto, 8-1. Detroit, however, has three games to play while Buffalo play only two more. "I've had 76 tough games up until now and there are two left," said Sabres Coach Joe Crozier.

"All we can do is win and hope Detroit loses one." The Sabres play both their final two games at home against Philadelphia and St. Louis. Detroit must face Toronto and Chicago at home and the New York Rangers on the road. Rick Martin's 36th and 37th goals sparked Buffalo's vic- tory. Detroit got two goals apiece from Mickey Redmond and Bill Collins, with Redmond running his total to first Detroit player ever to score 50 or more in a season.

"I'm not too impressed with that," Redmond said when someone pointed out that players like Gordie Howe never scored as many goals for the Red Wings. "I'm not out to beat anybody." Lou Nanne's two goals led Minnesota to a 4-3 victory over Vancouver in the only other NHL game Tuesday night. The North Stars moved into sole possession of second place in the West, but they have played twft games more than third place Philadelphia. Providence, N.J Also named by the E.C.A.C.'s awards committee, on the basis of selections and honorable mentions to the weekly, teams throughout the season, were the 13th, 18th, 19th and 24th top college division scorers in the country Ray Vyzas, Sacred Heart and Jersey City, N.J., with 27.4 points per game average; Richard Henninger, Lycoming and So.

Big Steps Taken In WHA Race By United Press International The Ottawa Nationals, Minnesota Fighting Saints and Houston Aeros took giant steps toward the first World Hockey Association playoffs Tuesday night.
