41 Chris Keeps Wow: Beats in 3d Set, 6-0 From Our Wire Service of 7,428 at Harold T. Clark Stadium, was the second in what looms as a long and exciting rivalry between the game's two young superstars. "I wanted to beat her at Wimbledon and that's where I beat her," Evonne, who will be 21 on Monday, said after the match. "I could not get fired up for this match the way I did at Wimbledon. It was not the same kind of tension," "The trouble with me is that I was tentative.

Chris is a tough competitor. You have to get on top of her and stay on top or she will kill you. I tried but I couldn't do the same as I did at Wimbledon." However, Evonne's defeat did not affect Australia's victory in the cup series, clinched when veteran Margaret Smith Court defeated Valerie Ziegenfuss of San Diego Mrs. Court teamed with Kerry Melville for an easy 6-1, 6-2 triumph over Miss Ziegenfuss and Wendy Overton of Chevy Chase, making the Australians' final margin 5-2. "It felt good winning my first match in my comeback to clinch the cup for my country," Mrs.

Court said. "The matches would have been a lot tougher with Rosemary Casals, Billy Jean King and Nancy Richey on the American team. "It was a challenge to get back and do well, and I' may go back to Wimbledon next year." America's only two points were scored by Miss Evert, who on the first day defeated Mrs. Court 6-3, 6-3. CLEVELAND.

"The first two sets went the same way they did at Wimblledon and I said to myself, 'I'm not going to let the same thing happen to me this time, 17-year-old Chris Evert said Sunday after beating her rival, Evonne Goolagong of Australia, in the Bonne Belle Cup tennis competition. The Florida school girl made good her vow in sweeping through the final set without the loss of a game to win the heralded return match 6-3, 4-6, 6-0. Chris let the match get away at Wimbledon earlier this year when, after stepping off to a one-set lead and 3-0 in the second, she bowed to the Australian 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

KISON, 22, struck out two and walked none, but hit two Phillies with pitches. "I don't worry that much about my control," he said.

"I worry about getting guys out. In the bullpen, I was more concerned about control. You come into a game with guys on base, you can't walk somebody or hit a batter. But when you start well, nobody's perfect all the time." Pitching for the hit-happy Pirates, however, nobody needs to be. "You know with this cub they're going to get you some runs in the late innings," Kison said.

"You just have to try to stay in the ball game long enough for it to happen." In this one, Pirate defense helped Kison stay close until the offense could get into overdrive. TWO STRONG Pirates throws to second base helped nip Phils scoring threats in the fifth and sixth. First, Deron John son popped a Texas League single off the outstretched glove of shortstop Jackie Hernandez in shallow left center, but was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double. Next, Tom Hutton laced a single to left center, moving Larry Bowa from first to third. But Vic Davalillo gunned down Hutton at second on the play to end the inning.

The Bucs threatened again in the seventh as Bob Robertson reached base on a fielder's choice and Willie Stargell, batting for Hernandez, drew a semi-intentional walk. Kison, up next, lashed a hard grounder to the left side of the infield for an apparent base hit, but third baseman Don Money dived to his left, gloved the ball and, without rising, threw to Doyle at second base for an inning-ending force out.

Rich Hebner's three-run home run capped a four-run eighth inning that brought the Pirates from behind and lifted young Bruce Kison to his fifth win in eight decisions. Lersch suffered his fourth loss against one victory.

Kison, snatched from the Pirate bullpen in May by manager Bill Virdon to shore up the defending world champions' starting corps, retired the first nine Phillies he faced before giving up a single to Denny Doyle. He finished with a six-hitter five singles and a triple by Greg Luzinski which led to the Phillies' run in the seventh inning. "I've always been a starter in my minor-league career," said the lanky righthander who was the Most Valuable Player in the 1971 World Series. "I can't say I prefer starting, but I like it."

As GM-manager of big league baseball's losingest team, there is no time to mess around. No time to laugh off defeats. No time to be a nice guy. When he succeeded John Quinn as general manager of the Phillies he said the manager, Frank Lucchesi, had to be tougher. Now that he has succeeded Lucchesi he is following his own advice.

"When I'm talking about toughness I'm not talking about raving and ranting," he said Sunday.

Paul Owens Roger McCluskey Goes Record 127 MPH To Win Pocono 500 Stock Car Race LIGONIER, Pa. (AP). Longshots Babe Hiskey and Kermit Zarley, close friends since their college days at the University of Houston a decade ago, paid tribute to each other Sunday after combining for an upset victory in the Professional Golfers Association National Team Championship.

"He was a real stallion today," Hiskey said of Zarley. "He was the horse to ride and I just jumped on him and came on home." "It's kind of easy to win when your partner is always on the green, 15 or 20 feet from a birdie." "I WAS just hoping I could play a good round," Zarley said. "Babe is the one who had been doing most of the scoring for us." They paired for a five-un-der-par 66 final round scoring is based on the better ball on each hole of each two-man team and cruised to a front-running three-stroke victory with a 72-hole total of 262. That was 22 under par on the Laurel Valley GC course and well in front of a pair of 25-year-olds, Johnny Miller and Grier Jones. Miller and Jones made the only serious challenge of the day, coming out of the pack with a 63 for 265 and second place.

ZARLEY AND Hiskey, both products of the university of Houston, combined perfectly as they picked off the $40,000 first prize. They didn't have a bogey. Hiskey made two of their five birdies, both on par five holes, and Zarley got the other three. Zarley also birdied a par five, the sixth, to put their team three under on the long holes for the day, and made a pair of dueces, running in birdie putts of about 8-12 feat on the 14th and 17th holes. The last one really nailed it down.

One year ago, Roger McCluskey was 17 laps away from a sure third-place finish in the inaugural Pennsylvania 500 that would have given him a third consecutive United States Auto Club stock car championship. But that was as far as he got. A blown tire put his winged 1970 Plymouth Superbird into the wall and Butch Hartman fer 500 for Indianapolis cars, made a shambles of a 40-car field that included Richard Petty and five other veterans of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.

Nobody was able to keep up with, let alone pass, McCluskey's blue and white racer. He started from the pole by virtue of a 148.177-MPH time trial and ran at or near that pace for most of the 3-hour and 56-min- went on to win both the race and the title. Norm Nelson, McCluskey's car owner and team manager, spent the winter rebuilding the sleek race car and, on Sunday, it carried McCluskey to an $18,000 victory on Pocono International Raceway's 2V2-mile tri-oval. THE 41-YEAR-OLD McCluskey, who finished an uncompetitive 11th in Saturday's Schae- ute grind. He finished four laps in front of Hartman's 1972 Dodge and six laps ahead of Verlin Eaker's third-place 1970 Dodge.

Despite eight caution periods that kept the yellow flag out for 39 of the 200 laps, McCluskey averaged 127.035 miles an hour, more than 10 MPH better than Hartman's record.

"I really can't say I've had too much trouble," Owens said. "Maybe that's because they're scared of me." At least a little wary.

"If you mess up, he'll tell you," Don Money said. "If you don'f run a ball out hard, he'll say something. Right there." Maybe that's what this bedraggled baseball team needed. Maybe onl a tough guy could salvage something anything out of this sorry season. .500 Within Owens' Reach NOT THAT THE PHILLIES have set the world on fire in Paul Owers' first three weeks as manager.

Simply that their own little messed-up world hasn't completely collapsed. The Phillies, under the new, tough guy in the manager's office, were 8-9 going into Sunday's game with the Pirates. Imagine. Another victory and Owens would be a .500 manager. Just like he said he would be.

Trouble was, Steve Carlton wasn't pitching. Barry Lersch was. Against the best hitting team in baseball. "They've hit me around pretty good the last couple of years," Lersch said. But not Sunday.

It was scoreless after six and a half innings, and then the Phillies threatened to break it open. They had a run in, two on, nobody out and Money at bat in the seventh. Owe is was managing up a storm. "First we had the bunt on," Don said. "Then Billy DeMars ran in to talk to me.

He said, 'You're "We tcld him, 'They'll probably have a play on (to beat the Owens said. "We told him, 'Everybody'll be Which is hat happened." All Mcney had to do was hit the ball hard. And he did. "Nine times out of 10 that's a base hit," his manager said. This was the 10th time.

Shortstop Gene Alley made the stop and got a force. Willie Had a Shot "THE BALL GOES THROUGH we've got two runs in, two on," Money dreamed. Instead Lersch had a 1-0 lead in the eighth when Gene Clines reached third with two out and Al Oliver drove a slider to left center.
