Tuesday, July It. Yin Pharos Tribune S. Press, Laaansport, Connors Upsets Ashe BROOKLINE, Mass. (UPI) The championship tennis match could have gone either way until unseeded Jimmy Connors broke the service of veteran Arthur Ashe in the second game of the fifth set. Until then, it was a 2-2 match and no one knew who would win the $12,000 top prize in the U.S.

Professional Tennis Championship at Longwood Cricket Club here. But after the'service break, Connor, 20, of Belleville, 111, took over and trounced of Miami, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in a grueling three hour and 10 minute match. "Ashe ran up lo the net and hit back one of my mis-hits, said young Connors, who had never played the experienced Ashe. "It was really lucky for me. He hit it out, that broke his service, and if anything that was the turning point." The methodical and smooth Ashe fought gallantly, rallying from a 2-1 set deficit to take the fourth set 6-3.

But the energetic Connors took command in the last set and won it handily. "I couldn't hold up under the pressure," the second-seeded Ashe said. "My concentration was pretty good but the problem I had was I was waiting for Connors to fold and he never did." Connors, who turned pro in January said, "I just stayed in there. I was fresh all the way Concepcion Looking Forward To Series Smiling happily, 20-year-old Jimmy Connors (L) of Bellvillc, HI. holds his trophy high, as a not quite as happy Arthur Ashe, 30, of Miami, Fla.

But he's already working toward another goal- playing on a World Series winner this fall. Although selected for the National League All-Star squad, Concepcion will miss the game while a broken ankle bone begins to heal in Christ Hospital here. But the slick-fielding Venezuelan is confident that both he and the Reds will be in the National League playoffs and World Series later this year, "I'm sure we will make the playoffs and I think I can be Hendrson in- ready to play," Concepcion said Henarson Monday in a bedside interview. To make the playoffs, the go from first to third with that kind of lead, Concepcion said he would do it again. "I wanted to get in position to score another run.

Six runs is not (the Expos) could still come back and maybe that seventh run would win the game." The fractured fibula bone and accompanying dislocaton gave Concepcion much pain Monday. "I got shots and sleeping pills, but I still got only about two or three hours sleep last night," he said. "I've never had no much pain in my life," Concepcion had" to change shoes in the fourth inning of Sunday's game after tearing a spike loose from his regular shoes. He blamed the seventh inning injury on the new shoes. "The spikes on my new shoes were longer than on my old pair," he said.

''I caught a spike on my left shoe in the dirt and that did it." The injury came as Concepcion was enjoying the best season in his seven-year pro career. Always steady in the field, Concepcion had upped his batting average to .287 and had stolen 22 bases in 26 attempts. through and I just tried to sit down and relax between games. I went out there prepared to play five sets. I started putting too much pressure on myself in the fourth set.

I had to pace myself better tonight ttan other nights. I lost a little concentration but I didn't get nervous." Connors took command in the fifth set. After the service break in the second game, he won all his serves and ended the match by breaking Ashe's service without allowing a single point. "He (Ashe) made a few more errors than 1 did especially in the fifth set, Connors said. "I concentrated on winning my service in the fifth.

"This is the best I have ever played in my life," the jubilant Connors said when he received his check and his trophy. "You may not believe this but nobody can continue to play like I have this week. I did everything well. I came here, like all the other players, to win." In the final doubles match, the second-seeded team of Stan Smith of Sea Pines, S.C. and Eric van Dillen of San Mateo, defeated Marty Riessen of Evanston, 111., and Ismail El Shafei of Egypt 4-6, 7-5.

Set against a backdrop of a 12- story Scoreboard and a water spectacular that stretches 322 feet from tip to tip, baseball's annual showcase game begins at 8:30 p.m. (EDT) in beautiful new Royals Stadium which is part of the $70 million Harry Truman Sports Complex. Aaron, who clouted his 700th home run Saturday night and is only 19 away from breaking the mighty Babe's record, will be the center of attention when he tries to jack one out against Hunter, who has yielded 27 homers this season, the most by any pitcher on either All-Star team. Encircled by newsmen at Monday's workout, Aaron took the opportunity to express his disappointment over the that Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn didn't wire his congratulations following No.

700. Kuhn, when he heard of the slight, said, "I'm certainly sorry that Hank Aaron was disappointed, and I am sure he knows I am one of his biggest rooters, I want to lead the baseball celebration when he hits Nos. 714 and 715." Hunter of the Oakland Athletics and Wise of the St. Louis Cardinals, a pair of righthand- ers making their first Ail-Star starts, have led their teams into division leads after early reversals. Hunter, 15-3, has won 10 straight, while Wise, 11-5, has been a part of the Cardinals' stunning comeback from a 5-20 start.

Also on hand is Willie Mays, who will be playing on his 24th All-Star team. Mays, probably making his last appearance in the mid-summer classic, took offense when it was suggested that he was added to the roster out of sentiment. "First of all," said Mays, "I don't need no charity, And if didn't come, it really wouldn't bother me. But it would hurt baseball. There are a lot of guys hitting better than me and there are a lot of 'em who aren't here." Mays, playing out his career where it began in New York, is hitting a meager .214.

A sellout crowd of 40,613 and a national television audience will be hoping to see Wondrous Willie take one more swipe. Perhaps the most significant development in the lineups announced Monday was that Kansas City's Amos Otis will be patrolling centerfield in place of New York's Bobby Murcer for the American Leaguers. Murcer will be in left, Otis said he expected to be playing left since Murcer drew more votes in the fans' poll. "I know I'd feel the same way if it was the other way around," said Otis. Chuck Tanner, Chicago pilot, ran the American League workout in the absence of Oakland's Dick Williams, who did not arrive until Monday night.

Williams underwent an emergency appendectomy last Thursday, but will manage the American Leaguers. The game could develop into a some into the water spectacular, which stretches behind the fence from centerfield to the right field bullpen and cost $750,000. Excluding pitchers, the National League All-Stars have hit 276 homers this season while the American Leaguers have hit 204, Tonight's game will be the 40th anniversary of the All-Star idea. Nineteen players who participated in the 1933 event will attend the game as guests. The starting pitchers in '33, winner Lefty Gomez of New York and loser Bill Hallahan of St.

Louis, will simultaneously toss out first balls along with Kansas City Royals' owner Ewing Kauffman.
