Mrs. Jones, who also is slated to join pro ranks, was seeded No. 2. Mrs. King's defeat at the hands of her longtime rival took some of the edge off the men's competition which saw top-seeded Roy Emerson, playing his last tournament as an amateur, go into the final against Lt.

"It's not completely cured yet, but I can get my shots lined up better already."

The Americans, who al-ready have clinched first place in the AHL's Western Division, scored their 36th victory of the season Friday night by outlasting the Barons 6-4. A few hours before the game, the league scored its first when president Jack But-terfield voided Cleveland's 3-2 victory over Quebec last Tuesday because the Barons used an ineligible player, and ruled the game must be played if its outcome would effect the standings. IN OTHER action Friday, Quebec beat Buffalo 5-3 and Baltimore took Hershey 4-2.

Second-place Quebec moved five points ahead of Cleveland and Buffalo took a two-point lead in the battle for the third and final playoff spot in the West. Buffalo would clinch third by winning today because even if Cleveland tied in points, the Bisons would have the most victories. If a replay is needed, it will be held Monday in Quebec. Cleveland had called up de-fenseman Bryan Watson under what it said was emergency conditions because two players were out with injuries. But Butterfield noted that the Barons had been ordered to have one of them, Doit Fe-dun, examined 24 hours be-fore Tuesday's game, and that they did not produce satisfactory evidence of Fedun's incapacity at Friday's hear-tog.

It probably will be in an open tournament, since Billie Jean is planning to turn pro next week, but the rivalry already is stacking up as one of the game's fiercest. IT MAY GIVE tennis a needed shot in the arm, comparable to the fueds between Helen Wills Moody and Helen Jacobs in the 1930s.

The 5-3, 115-pound Miss Richey rallied from one set down and 1-5 in the second, fought off one match point and defeated the heavily favored Mrs. King last night, 4-6. 7-5, 6 0. What made the comeback the more phenomenal was that Miss Richey won the last 12 games in a row against the woman who is rated the world's best, holder of the Wimbledon, U. S.
