Mrs. King won, 6-2, 6-4, to reach today's finals in which she defeated defending champion Evonne Goolagong of Australia. (AP Wire- photo) By HAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer Steve Arlin, San Diego's pitching dentist, must have given the New York Mets a dose of sleeping gas Thursday night. And when the Padres finally got around to operating on Artin's baseball patients, it was anything but painless. Arlin pitched 10 brilliant innings, allowing only one hit before turning the Mets over to reliever Gary Ross, who permitted just one more hit in four innings.

Finally, the Padres pushed across a run on a bases- loaded walk in the 14th inning for a 1-0 victory. Arlin, who holds a degree in dentistry from Ohio State University, matched zeroes with the Mets' Jerry Koosman for 10 innings before Ross and New York reliever Tug McGraw took over. By then, the Mets were mesmerized and they never did wake up. In other National League games Thursday night, San Francisco topped Philadelphia 6-4 in 10 innings, Los Angeles walloped Montreal 11-3, Atlanta edged Chicago 4-3 and Pitts- burgh beat Houston 7-3 in 17 innings. Cincinnati and St.

Louis were not scheduled. Despite the outstanding pitching of Arlin and Ross, the Mets were still tied in the 14th because the Padres had been unable to cash in on any earlier scoring opportunities. When they loaded the bases with none out on two singles and a fielder's choice at the start of the 14th, it looked like there was no way they couldn't score. But they almost didn't. McGraw got Nate Colbert on a force play at the plate and then struck out Clarence Gaston.

But Jerry Morales waited out a walk to force home the run San Diego needed. The Mets almost got it back in the bottom of the 14th when Bud Harrelson walked, moved up on a wild pitch and a sacrifice and then, with two out, tried to score on a short passed ball. But catcher Pat Corrales recovered in time and threw to Ross, covering the plate, to catch Harrelson. The Giants beat the Phillies in the 10th inning when Tito Fuentes unloaded a two-run triple. The winning rally started with a two-out walk to Dave Kingman and after Domaso singled, Fuentes delivered his big hit.

San Francisco, which has won six of its last seven games, tied it in the eighth inning when Garry Maddox singled, moved to third on two grounders and scored on Mike Ryan's wild pickoff throw. Don Money and Deron Johnson homered for the Phillies. Dusty Baker's two-run homer keyed a four-run Atlanta rally in the third inning and the Braves hung on to nip Chicago. George Stone, 2-6, earned the victory with ninth inning help from his cousin, Cecil Upshaw. Ron Santo's two-run homer knocked out Stone but Upshaw came on to get the last three outs, recording his seventh save.

It was Stone's first victory as a starter this season. The Dodgers blasted the Expos, snapping a 3-3 tie with a pair of runs in the eighth inning and then wrapping up the victory with six runs in the ninth. Bill Russell drove in four runs with two singles and a triple and Jim Lefebvre laced three- run homer for the Dodgers, 1 Mike Jorgensen and Clyde Mashore homered for thS Expos. I Pittsburgh tied the score on Willie Stargell's two-run homer in the ninth inning and then struggled into the 17th before pushing across four runs to Beat Houston. Reliever Ramon Hernandez started the Pirates' winning rally with a leadoff double and scored the tie-breaking run on a double by Vic Davalillo.

Then a wild pitch, a fielder's choice and hits by Al Oliver and Manny Sanguillen produced three more runs to clinch it. The victory moved the Pirates 2Mt games ahead of New York In the NL East while the Astros slipped games back of idle Cincinnati in the NL West.

Gillette from San Diegoi and guard Joe O'Donnell from Buffalo.

In the trades, the Big Red dealt away running backs MacArthur Lane and Cid Edwards, wide receivers John. Gilliam and Dave Williams and guard Irv Goode, opening five starting offensive spots and assuring some rugged competition at several positions. Hollway listed several goals he feels the Cardinals must accomplish in training with an equal emphasis on both offensive and defensive team improvement. "To be a good football team, we know we must improve several areas," the head coach said. "On offense, we will work on all aspects, of our running attack and give special attention to.

the receiving part of the passing game. Defensively, we are looking for increased pressure on the passer and improvement in our ability to stop the running game." Four new assistant coaches will be at camp. They are former NFL head coach Bill; Austin, who will work with the offensive line and running game; former Cardinal running back Bill (Thunder) Thornton, offensive backs; all- pro safety Larry Wilson, as a player-coach in charge of Defensive backs; and Paul Lanham, specialty teams. They join Lew Carpenter, overall offense; Chuck Drulis, overall defense; and Bob Leach, defensive line. Major training camp battles are shaping up in the offensive backfield.

At quarterback, Cuozzo will be matched with Jim Hart and Pete Beathard, who shared the Big Red starting duties last year. Hart is starting his seventh pro season, Beathard has ninth and Cuozzo his tenth. Anderson and Burns will join Cardinal veterans John Roland and Roy Shivers in the fight for running back spots. Other newly-acquired candidates include Craig Baynham, who has played for Dallas and Chicago, and Steve Worster and Silas McKinnie, both of whom performed In Canada last year. The receiving corps also will be in for some change.

Mel Gray returns after a banner rookie season, but the Big Red's other wide receiving slot needs to be filled. Gillette and rookies Moore and Bob Wicks are top candidates along with Fred Hyatt and Wendell Tucker, who signed as a free agent after four seasons at Los Angeles. Jackie Smith rates as one of the league's top tight ends and is 1 backed by Jim McFarland. The first of six Big Red preseason games comes Aug. 4 at Buffalo.

After an Aug. 12 outing in Kansas City, the Cardinals play their first home game Aug. 19, entertaining the Denver Broncos in the annual benefit for the Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. After trips, to Houston Aug. 24 and Green Bay Sept.

Coleman, the Tigers' ace right-hander who won 20 games a year ago, reached the halfway point toward that magic number Thursday night with a six-hit, six-strikeout performance, a 7-0 shutout over Kansas City that halted Detroit's four- game skid.

(AP) Jim who said he "felt under control all the way," moved another step nearer his Olympic goal Thursday night with a quarter final victory in the race at America's Olympic Track and Field) Trials. The former Kansas star, Fischer loses Draw TO Spassky REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess tnatch will finally start next Tuesday.

Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: ''Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the bled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of century Spassky of the U.S.S.R.

vs. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play.

Dave Wottle, the Bowling Green standout who finished No. 1 in the 800 meters last weekend, also advanced with a winning 3:43.7 clocking, but will be in more danger than Ryun tonight.

Wottle will be in a fast third against such threats as Tom Von Ruden of Stillwater, Howell Michael of the Marine Corps and Jerome Howe of Kansas State. Ryun will be in another heat with Robert Wheeler of Duke expected to be his top challenger. "There was no sense pressing the pace," Ryun said after his heat. "I didn't expect the times to be very fast, but you never know what might happen. "Friday, the races will be faster because of the increased competition," he said.

The three top men from each of the three heats advance to Saturday night's finals. Oregon star Steve Prefontaine breezed home a heat winner in the run, coasting to the tape in 13:51.2. Prefontaine, 21-year-old American record holder at 13:29.8, was followed by former Oregon Stater Tracy Smith in 13:52.8, and the Los Angeles policeman was just ahead of ex- Washington State runner Gerry Undgren in 13:53.6. In the other heat, 34-year-old George Young of Casa Grande, took it easy and settled for fifth place in 14:11.6 as Tarry Harrison of Club West and Leonard of Hilton of the Houston Track Club earned the top two spots of respective' times of 14:06.2 and 14:07.0. Twelve men altogether advanced to Sunday night's finals.

Young won a bronze medal In the steeplechase during the 1968 Olympics, but decided last year to switch to the 5,000. Kuhn See Changes In Reserve Clause The Tigers battered five Royals pitchers for 13 hits en route to the triumph that kept them within two games of the front- running Orioles in the East Division. Aurello Rodriguez, with two singles and a double, and Tony Taylor, with two singles and a triple, led the assault while Bill Freehan drove in three runs with a single and a double. The Orioles won three of three from the White Sox in their midweek series, thanks to superlative pitching that held Chicago to a measly 13 hits in the 27 innings. The only runs scored by the Sox in that stretch came on a pair of solo homers by Dick Allen.

HOUSTON (AP) Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn says he thinks there may be some changes in baseball's controversial reserve clause. Kuhn told a news conference here Thursday he had not received word from Major League Players Association counsel Marvin Miller, but he suspected the association would want to negotiate a change in the clause. "In the area of the reserve system there's pretty good indication how they're thinking," Kuhn said. "I guess they feel they'll press the hardest for free agency after a certain number of years, whatever that might be, two years, four, five or six years. The concept would be the same, free agency after a certain number of years.

"I have to think there is a possiblity for a change," he said. Kuhn, here to address a Rotary Club luncheon, said the 24 major league teams would meet in Chicago today to review procedures for dealing with collective bargaining problems. "There could be some changes in the negotiating procedures at this meeting," Kuhn said. "We want to be sure the clubs have the most constructive bargaining mechanism they can have to go into these difficult negotiations." cisions, outdueled Tom Bradley, who also had a five-hitter. "Cuellar was great and so was Bradley," Chicago Manager Chuck Tanner said, stating the obvious.

"The pitching on both sides was the best in any series I've seen this year." Yankees Manager Ralph Houk did a little stating-of-the- obvious himself as he spoke of relief ace Sparky Lyle. "Maybe I use him too Houk said, "but when you have someone like him in the bullpen, you bring him in.
