"It's going to be a tough decision. We've got this player from Chicago who's in the top ten in the west and we've also got a boy from Sweden, Arnie Thylen, who is their most promising junior." WE WERE talking yesterday with Bud Collins of the Boston Globe who seems to be the commentator on almost By STEVE OTTO Times Sports Writer With the Florida Junior Closed Tennis Championship in St. Petersburg less than two weeks away, Tampa's top junior players were up in Gainesville over the weekend for the Gainesville "300" tennis tournament. Although, as expected, there were no winners from the Cigar City, several players did better than they were supposed to and a couple have established themselves as genuine threats for state titles. Cody Davis of Tampa, who was not rated in the boys 14-under, lost to the eventual winner of the division Thad Hughes, 6-7, 6-3, 7-5, in the best match of the division.

In the girl's 10-under group, Dee Ann Crowder made it all the way to the finals of the division before losing to top-seeded Michelle DePalmer of Bradenton, 6-2, 6-7, 7-6. In the girl's 12-under, Betty Kay Heagey, another unseeded Tampan, lost to third-rated Sue Smith of Lakeland in a match to Ft. Lauderdale's Rod Castori, 6-1, 6-1. Another Tampan in the division, Jeff Dwight, lost to Tommy Vaughn, 6-1, 6-1. Grey King of Gainesville, who will be going to the University of Florida this fall, eventually won the title.

THE UNIVERSITY of South Florida's top singles player, Bill Joiner of Bolwyn, Australia, has decided not to return to USF this fall and will become a teaching pro in Indianapolis following a tour on the Eastern circuit this summer. Joiner's good all-court game and strong forehand voley helped hini to a season record of 17-5 including a strong win over tough Mike Strickland of Rollins. COACH SPAFFORD Taylor's Brahams ended the season with an 11-11 mark and, with the exception of Joiner, will return next year. Kevin Hedberg, now a junior move into the top slot of USF. Anne Davis of Tampa lost to Diane Gilruth, 6-0, 6-3 and Plant High's Mary Jo Sinclair lost to Jamie Friedman, 6-4, 6-0.

In the boy's 16-under, Jon Dwight ran into Orlando's Bob Hook, the top seed, and fell, 6-3, 6-1; Jim Davis lost to Don Hosch, 6-0, 6-0; Charles Robinson lost to Burr Stevens, 6-2, 6-2; Frank Hornbrook lost to Gainesville's Albert Muniz, 6-1, 6-3; Mike Echevarria lost to Jack Jones of Clearwater, 6-2, 6- land Chet Benson from Plant High lost to second seeded Mark Boykin 6-4, 6-0. In the boy's rugged 18-under division Pat Halpn took a 6-0, 6-0 win over Johm Mack into the quarterfinals where he ran into fellow Tampan Frank Swope who defeated him 6-1, 6-0. Frank lost his semifinal well played 7-5, 6-4 match. Kimberly Heusel, probably Tampa's top junior prospect, couldn't do it against top-seeded Cissie Donigan, who was also playing on her home courts, and lost, 6-0, 6-0. IN THE boy's 12-under, David Echevarria made it through three tough rounds, including wins over Billy Sears and Ed Gibson, before losing to Petersburg's top-peeded George Tanase, 6-4, 6-4.

David was second seeded in the tourney. Another Tampan, David Wolfson, playing in the same division, made it to the semis where he ran into Tanase and lost 6-3, 6-0. In the girls 16-under, pretty Lisa Crowder lost to top-seeded Maria Paris of Largo, the eventual winner; 6-1, 6-3; every televised tennis match including NBC's World Championship of Tennis series and the new half hour CBS Tennis Classic. "Here in Boston we just can't get all the people on the courts. The boom has people waiting in line for three or four hours to get on.

We just don't have all the courts like you've got down there in Florida.

(UPI) -The national team championship, a stepchild of the PGA tour since its inception, is beginning to gain some stature. Arnold Palmer was able to skip the press luncheon. The absence of Palmer, the man most responsible for keeping the team event on the tour and bringing it to his home course, was perhaps the most notable happening yesterday when tournament officials held their annual luncheon to help hypo ticket sales for this year's event. OFFICIALLY, Palmer had to miss the gathering to do some filming and take care of other matters before leaving tomorrow for Pebble Beach, site of the U.S.

Open next week, but the fact he passed up the chance to help "sell" the team tournament indicated he thinks it may finally be on solid ground.

a a i tournament held three times in four years at Palm Beach and Oklahoma City, Okla. It was ready to be scrapped, as a failure before Palmer put his' prestige behind it ot bring it to Laurel Valley, a comparatively young course whose 200 members are heads of corporate giants. Although the $20,000 per man winning share in the smallest of the summer tour, most of the pros have played the past two years, perhaps, out of homage to Palmer. Since the event was moved here to Laurel Valley Golf Club in 1970, it has been dominated by the Palmer Jack Nicklaus team and by rain. Palmer and Nicklaus won in 1970 and 1971 but both years the tournament was plagued by rain which held down the crowds.
