Yellin is unseeded, but is regarded as one of the top threats in the older division. Yellin's first round opponent is Shirley. Three out-of-town players that are rated high in the Pelican State Tennis tournament, take a moment to exchange views. Pictured (from left to right) are Chip Shirley of Jennings, Sharon Burke of Baton Rouge and Steve Yellin of New Orleans.

Shirley Tournament. Ralston, of Bakersfield, played erratically, but outlasted the tiring Frenchman, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Nancy Richey of Dallas also had to rally from an early deficit to win her match. She defeated Briton Rita Bentley 3-6, 6- 4, 6-2 to reach the fourth round. Earlier, Mimi Arnold of Santa Barbara, defeated Laura Rossouw of South Africa 6-1, 7- 5, and Rosemary Casals of San Francisco came back to whip Australian Kerry Melville 1-6, 7-5, 64.

Mary Habicht of Sunapee, N.H., however, was beaten. She lost to sixth-seeded Annette Van Zyle of South Africa 6-3, 6-1. The only other Americans left in the men's singles, besides Ralston, are Cliff Richey of Dallas and Stan Smith, a 20-year-old from Pasadena, who battered Keith Wooldridge, one of Britain's bright young prospects, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 in the third round Thursday.

Furious Tommy Bolt Becoming Humorous By Jerry Liska CHICAGO (AP) Tommy Bolt, now a humorous rather than a furious golfer, has up-staged the Billy Casper-Arnold Palmer vendetta in the $100,000 Western Open which moved into its second round at the tough State three-time champion Roy Emerson of Australia, who apparently is at the top of his gam e.

Emerson, who knocked off America's Charlie Pasarell, drew this comment from U. S. David Cup team manager George MacCall: "Emmo is hitting the ball so beautifully. Is anyone going to stop him? It's a $64,000 question. The strength of the Australian bid for the title was underlined once more.

A second Australian seeded player was eliminated, John Newcombe, fifth favorite for the title. The man wha mastered him was another Aussie, 26-year-old Ken Fletcher. In the previous round Fred Stolle, the lanky Australian who has been runner-up three years running, was defeated by Australian Bob Hewitt. Besides the six Australians and three Americans, those battling for places in the quarterfinals were a South African, a Briton, a Frenchman, an Indian, a Spaniard, a Dutchman and a Dane. 178-yard second hole didn't help much.

Hebert shot 35-3772. The field of 124 pros, seeking top money of $20,000, will be trimmed to the low 75 scores and ties today, and to the low 60 and ties after Saturday's round. TVUpsetters Tackle Seeds CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) Two Californians who scored upsets Thursday go after the top two seeds today in the men's single quarter-finals of the Tennessee Valley Invitational tennis tournament. Bryan Cheney of Santa Monica faces top-ranked Cliff Buch-holz of St.

Louis while Ed Grubb of Los Angeles plays second-seeded David Power of Indiana Cheney seventh-rated Jack Jackson of Knoxville, 6-4, 6-8, 6-0 while Grubb defeated the No. 6 seed, Lenny Schloss of 6-4, 8-6. The favorites had little trouble. Buchholz beat Lornie Kuhle of La Jolla, 6-3, 6-1, and Power drubbed Jamie Fillol of Chile, 6-3, 6-2. Ramone Almonte of Puerto Rico won a junior finals berth opposite Charles Owens of Tuscaloosa, by eliminating Gree Cummings of Nashville, 6-3, 6-3.

Owens beat Stave Ve-zina of Montreal, Canada, 6-2, 6-2, to advance to the'finals. OPEN 24 Hours A Day 1401 Military Highway In Gibson Pharmacy Building (Town Talk Staff Photo) Mark Massey of Shreveport, top seeded in the boys 16 singles, makes a return of one of Joe McGinty's volleys Thursday afternoon in his opening match of the tournament. Massey, the winner of the boys 14 singles last year, easily disposed of McGinty, winning by a 6-0, 6-1 count. Pitchers, Hitters Cooperate Statistics indicate Grady Hatton is doing a pretty fair job of managing the Houston Astros. On paper, the pitching is the weakest since Houston got its franchise, and there is no real big stick.

The won-and-lost record, though, which is the only thing that counts, proves that the pitchers and hitters are cooperating better than ever before. In the past, tremendous pitching efforts went down the drain day after day for lack of runs. And, it seemed, on the rare occasions that the Astros did get some runs across the plate, the pitching faltered. This season, for a change, the Astros are getting that key hit, often a big one. They aren't getting as many one and two-run games out of their pitchers.

Unlike in the past, though, they are winning a majority of the low-scoring games, simply because the home run has become a useful weapon. Better still, the Astros are also winning some games when they give up five, six or seven runs. No one or two players are responsible for this success, which has keot the Astros high in the first division all season. First one and then another comes through in the clutch. Joe Morgan is hitting for average, but he isn't producing the runs.

Jim Wynn's average is disappointing (around but he is driving in runs and getting the long ball. John Bateman and Rusty Staub also are producing big runs without high averages, and Dave Nicholson is having his best season ever. BATEMAN FINDS SELF Bateman, who was ust a little older than Staub when he joined the Astros, may have found himself. If big John continues at his present pace, Houston's future is bright, because he completes strength down the middle. Second baseman Morgan and centerfielder Wynn are already established, and Sonny Jackson, at shortstop, looks like he might be for real.

Staub is coming of age. On the other corners are Bob Aspromonte at third and young first baseman Chuck Harrisqn, who was called up' When Hatton lost his patience with Jim Gentile and shipped him out. Harrison is regarded as an excellent prospect. Aspromonte may be nearing the end of his career. With the exception of Aspromonte, all Astro regulars are exceptionally young men, with many years ahead of them.

Hatton will have to beef up his pitching staff, unless some of the young ones begin to show more signs of developing. I believe the Astros have been up near the top of the National League long enough to prove this is no fluke. Under Hatton, they are playing sound baseball, with good defense, a minimum of mistakes, timely running and clutch hitting. A World Series in the fabulous Astrodome may not be too far off.

Bolt, once the Terrible Tommy with a club-breaking temper, uncorked a three-under-par 68 Thursday for a one-stroke lead over a runner-up trio including Casper, the new U.S. open champion, and a four-'stroke margin over Palmer. Casper, saying "Now that I'm the National Open champion I've got smething to live up to," began his Western Open title defense with a 69.

That was matched by Harold (Catfish) Kneece and Doug Sanders. Palmer, admitting "I'm still playing from last week," trailed in a 12-player tie for 18th place with a one-over-par 72. Blitzed Twice His remark referred to his collapse in the National Open at San Francisco when he twice was blitzed by Casper in Sun day's final round and Monday's playoff. Bolt, 48, an infrequent circuit practioner because of bursitis in his shoulder, enjoyed the spotlight that has escaped him since his last tour victory in the 1961 Pensacola Open. "I had a typical Palmer round I was all over the place, ev erywhere you could possibly go, and still got the ball in the hole," said Bolt of his 32-36 start over Medinah's forest-cramped, par 36-3571 layout rambling over 7,014 yards.
