Action was in the second race of the day Tuesday at the Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds. (Staff Photo by Roy Pace) WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Defending champion Evonne Goolagong of Australia defeated 17-year-old Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 today for the right to meet Bilbe Jean King in Fri day's final for the Wimbledon tennis crown. Mrs.

King, the No. 2 seed from Long Beach, crushed Rosemary Casals of San Francisco 6-2, 6-4 in the first women's singles match on the grass center court. Evonne reeled off the seventh game in a row when she held service at the start of the final set to love. But then Chris held hers and broke Evonne to go 2-1 up as the Australian lapsed back into loose play with a double fault, a volley at the net and another weak backhand. But the lapse was only mo mentary and Evonne broke back to 2-2 after Chris double-faulted.

Chris was still fighting and produced two superb passing forehands and a flat return of service to break Evonne again and go ahead 3-2. Then the match see-sawed once more as Evonne broke back the fourth break in a row with a fore hand volley. That put the score at 3-3. Then Evonne held serv ice to lead 4-3 but only with the help of a lucky volley that hit the cord and ran along the net before dropping on Chris' side. Chris had fought hard to keep that game and twice pulled back to deuce.

The match lasted one hour, 35 minutes. It will be Billie Jean's sixth Wimbledon final since 13. She won three times in a row 1966- 19B8. Billie Jean lapsed at the start Lincoln Rodeo Winners Named LINCOLN-Winners in the eight events at the Lincoln Fourth of July Rodeo included: Bareback bronc riding Kent Moser, Augusta; saddle bronc riding Charlie Peterson, Butte; bull riding Mike Smith, Ron- an; calf roping Scott Lynch, Ronan; steer wrestlinc Larrv Schoening, Huston; team roping Bob Lytle, Cut Bank, and Bill Haynes, Hot Springs; barrel racing (la and over) Maxme DeSaussure, Ronan; barrel rac ing (under 15) Ty Steinbach, Wolf Creek.

of the second set, double-faulted and dropped her service to love. She immediately broke back with dazzling shots a lob, a backhand return and finally a forehand that sizzled across the court. Mrs. King went to a 4-1 lead, and then Miss Casals hit back and levelled at 4-4. But that waj Rosie's last big effort Mrs.

King held her service to lead 5-4, despite another double fault, and then broke her ri val's service for the last time The final shot was a spectacu lar backhand pass. Mrs. King has now beaten Miss Casals 19 times out of 20 in the last two years. In the men's semifinals Thursday, Stan Smith, last year's losing finalist and No. 1 seed this year, will be carrying the American hopes.

The other semifinalists are Europeans. That's the first time this has happened since World War II. The reason is the running battle between the International Lawn Tennis Federation and World Championship Tennis, the pro group that has the top players like Rod Laver, Arthur Ashe and Ken Rosewall under contract. Differences beiween the two organizations have been patched up, but not in time to allow the WCT pros to Reps to Play Shelby Thursday The Helena Reps will take on Shelby at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Field in a Class Western Division American Legion baseball doubleheader.

Helena will take a 7-5 league record into the twin bill and the Reps need a sweep to keep alive hopes of a high finish in the final league standings. They are 8-6 on the season and are fresh from a doubleheader split with Cut Bank. Shelby defeated Helena twice on the opening day of the season in Shelby. Coach Hank Flatow has not named his starting pitchers for the Thursday games.

The American, whose dispute over prize money forced organizers to postpone the world championship round, said he had the greatest respect for Spassky as a man and as a player. The statement, prepared by Fischer's lawyers, was read to newsmen by Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation FIDE. It was not known whether this would be sufficient to overcome Russian objections to starting the match. In a statement Tuesday, Spassky said he would consider starting play only if Fischer paid the penalty for his behavior. Spassky told The Associated Press this afternoon he still did not know whether the match would begin Thursday.

He said there would be an announcement by the Russian delegation later. "We are sorry the world championship was delayed," Fischer's apology began. "My problems were not with Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player." What Spassky meant when he demanded "just pimshment" for Fischer, he woulfl not say. There were unconfirmed reports the Russians wanted Fischer to be penalized with a loss of the first game. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday.

But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48- hour postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both players would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday.

The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department. The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title. The statement demanded that Fischer be punished.

However, Max Euwe, president of the international federation, said the Soviets had not formally requested punishment. "What should I do?" he asked. "Put him in the corner?" Fischer was staying away from newsmen and did not comment on the Soviet statement. With the contribution from the London banker, James D. Slater, the winner is to get $156,230 and the loser $93,750.

In addition, each player will get another $75,000 from the television and film rights. 4 4 Jockey Wilson. Fourth Race Quuarter Horse Futurity Trials. 350 yards. Mr.

Jockey Massey. that if we were close to each other with 200 to go, we'd go in together. "We didn't want to make It a dog-eat-dog affair at the end. There was no need to. We're both on the team." Bennett, a graduate of Okla- 'homa Christian, said his former home prepared him for the heat here and said, "besides, it's nnt that bad because it's not too humid." Bannister hadn't seen his mother since he was graduated from college 18 months ago.

He sent his mother a plane ticket recently so she could see him compete. Now a Los Angeles resident, Bannister lost 10 pounds from the 200 he normally carries as he ran the 110-meter high hurdles in 14.5 seconds for 905 points, threw the discus 142-3 i and pole vaulted 13-1'; in the second day. "I sure could improve my pole vault," he said. "I lose a lot of points there." His total was the best mark in the world this year, 36 better than Russia's Nikolai Avilov, but Bannister says "it'll take at least 8,200 to win in Munich." EUGENE, Or.

Bannister was asked about his own performance but preferred to speak in glowing terms of his competitors. "I was so happy to see Jeff do so well in the pole vault, and Bruce make the team. I love all these guys. We compete against each other so often." Bennett went 16 feet 7 inches in the pole vault Tuesday, jumping from fifth position in the over-all standings to first briefly.

Then Bannister came back for a 200-11 javelin and regained the lead. The two ran almost arm-inarm through the last half lap in the 1,500 as both clocked 4:25.5. "I know Jeff likes to set the pace," said Bannister, "and I like to run behind. He had to beat me by seven seconds to win this thing and we agreed Darlin, Rpdwillo Tarajet, Red Cause, Pacific f.fi, Berta Mystic, and Sir Meyers.
