For Nastase there was a consolation check of $7,800 and a share of ine $1,300 dollars for winning the mixed doubles with Rosie Casals of San Francisco. Mrs. King, meanwhile, shared the doubles title for the eighth time when she partnered Holland's Betty Stove to a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 win over Francoise Durr of France and Australia's Judy Dalton. The winners shared $1,560.

Smith's next big assignment will be defense of his U.S. Open title at Forest Hills when the WCT regulars will be in the draw. the feast of strokes and fighting tennis served up by the finalists. It more than made up for the disappointment of Saturday's washout which caused the finals to be postponed 24 hours for only the fourth time in the 86-year history of the torunament. Smith, whe won a host of admirers for his court manners and charm off it, was perfectly frank afterwards when he said: "Eighty per cent guts and luck got me through," by way of tribute to Nastase, who made the strokes which had the crowd on the edge of their seats.

Guts and a refusal to quit finally got Smith home and helped give the U.S. its first double victory since 1955 when I England iUFIi The excuement at Wunbledon '72 belonged to the women until two footsoldiers stole the show with one of the most exciting men's finals in the last 40 years. In a 2 hour 40 minute center court thriller Sunday, top seeded Stan Smith of Pasadena, Calif, beat Romanian touch artist Hie Nastase, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5. O'dtimers at the club, who've seen all the finals back to the 1930s, said the match was the best since Australia's Jack Craft-ford beat Ellsworth Vines of America, 6- in the fifth, to win in 1933. Certainly the capacity crowd of 15,006 fans, who hung on every shot, was satisfied with Tony Tiabert and Louise Brough were successful.

Billie Jean King of Long Beach, Calif, won fcer founh ladies' title on Friday. Because the inatch was being played on army time, Smith was unable to keep the $13,000 top prize, but at no time did he play as though money was a consideration. Before the final he said: "Winning Wimbledon means more to me than money." He proved that when he saved three break points in the vital fifth game of the deciding set He came from 0-40 to break service in the 12th game to clinch the set and match. Nastase, who had hit wonderful passing shots on either wing, made impossible looking Vtjl 1 ('.

dawn today for ialnute inspection of the facilities provided for the start of Tuesday's championship match with world titlehoider Boris Spassky. Chess sources said Fischer left a list of complaints about the lighting, the table and other facilities. They said all the complaints could be straightened out before Tuesday's game. Earlier, Fischer had his favorite chair, a black leather and metal swivel model, flown in from New York. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously.

Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of Romania's file Nastase. It was said to be one of the most exciting finals in 40 years. POWEK SMASHING Stan Smith of the United States won the men's singles title at Wimbledon Sunday with 8 five set triumph over finished line to win the 1500 meter race in 3:41.5 to qualify for his third Olympic Games.

HAPPINESS Is the fruit of labor, and Jim Ryun couldn't be more happy. He Is shown In jubilation as he crosses the Nolan Ryan Becomes Pitching Sensation USA Has Powerful Track Team in two of his last three games. Ryan, who said he threw fast balls 70 to 80 per cent of the time, opened the game at Anaheim by walking Tommy Harper on four pitches. He then struck out Doug Griffin before Carl Yastrzemski singled to right. Ryan proceeded to strike out the next eight men to set an American League record, whiffing the side in the second inning on nine pitches.

While Ryan has boosted his record to 11-5, Vida Blue, last year's sensation with Oakland, is struggling along at 2-5. Mickey Lolich became the first 14-game winner in the major leapes as Detroit beat By United Press International Nolan Ryan allowed only one hit, struck out 16 batters-Including a league record eight in a row and retired the last 26 Boston hitters in succession as the California Angels beat the Red Sox, 3-0, Sunday An inconsistent performer during his earlier career with the New York Mets, Ryan, a fat-balling righthander, has suddenly developed into the new pitching sensation of the American League with five straight complete game victories, two consecutive shutouts, and 16-strickout performances Add to that two other American records a 48.4 by Ralph Mann in the 400-meter hurdles and a 4:13:04.4 by Larry Young in the 50-kilometer walk, and you have to think Bowerman is right when he says "There is nothing to worry about." Other impressive victories included a 20.4 by Chuck Smith in the 200 meter dash, a strong, comebacking 3:41.5 triumph by Jim Ryun in the 1,500 meter run, Tom Hill's upset of 1968 Olympic gold medalist" Willie Davenport and world record holder Rod Milburn in the 110-meter high hurdles, George Wood's 70-1 shot put victory, Jeff Bannister's 8,120 point victory in the decathlon and John Craft's wii'd-aided 56-2 in the triple jump. A total of 13 former Olympians won places on this year's team. in every department, moving the usually reserved Bowerman to say, "I think we are in pretty good shape." "The team will be a little greener than usual in the sprints but experienced in the longer races," said Bowerman. "I'm not at all unhappy about the men we'll be taking to Munich." The trials, watched by more than 140,000 fans over 10 days in Eugene's Hayward Field, produced three men Dave Wottle, Larry Young and Frank Shorter who won places in two events, a world record of 18-5 in the pole vault by Bob Seagren, a world record equalling time of 1:44.3 by Wottle in the 800 meter run, a world record equalling 9.9 in the 100 meter dash by Ed Hart and Reynaud Robinson and an American record of 56-0 in the triple jump by Dave Smith.

EUGENE, Ore. (UPI)-When Bill Bowerman and his coaching staff take the United States men's track and field team to Munich next month it could be one of the most powerful ever to represent America. This was evident over and over again in the 10-day Olympic trials which ended Sunday. It was quite evident when Steve Prefontaine extended his unbeaten streak to 24 races while beating veteran Olympian George Young in the American record time of 13:22.8 for 5,000 meters, and when Wayne Collett upset world record holders John Smith and Lee Evans in the 400 meter dash in 44.1 seconds. Traditionally, America is strong in the short races, better than most in the field events and a little on the short side in the distance races.

This year's team appears to have balance They included Jay Silvester (his third) in the discus, Larry Young, Goetz Klopfer and Tom Dooley (their second) in the two walks, Art Walker and Dave Smith (their second) in the triple jump Seagren (his second) in the pole, Ryun (his third) in the 1,500, Davenport (his third) in the high hurdles, Ken Moore (his second) in the marathon, Woods (his second) in the shot, Evans (his second) in the 1,600 meter relay, and Larry Young (his fourth) in the 5,000. This year's men's team will be one of the youngest ever. It includes, among others, two 18-year-olds Dwight Stones in the high jump and Randy Williams in the long jump. On the other end of the scale are 35-year-olds George Young, still one of the world's top distance runners, and Silvester, the world discus record holder, plus the 30-year-old Klopfer in the walks. them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the (250,000 match.

Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic Major League Standings National League American League East East the White Sox, 4-2, in the recond game of a doubleheader after Chicago had taken the opener, 5-4. The split enabled the Tigers to move into a first place tie in tne East Division with the Baltimore Orioles, who dropped their fourth straight game to the Texas Royals, 3-2, in 10 innings. Elsewhere, the Kansas City Royals swept a doubleheader from the Cleveland Indians, 6-4 and 8-5, the Oakland Athletics beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 3-1, and the New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins, 9-6.

Chicago had taken the opener when Rick Reichardt singled over a pulled-in outfield with the bases loaded in the ninth.

Baltimore had taken a 2-1 lead in the seventh on Boog Powell's pinch-hit single. Amos Otis drove in five runs with five hits, including a two-run homer in the first game and a solo blast in the second, and Richie Scheinblum knocked in four runs in the nightcap with a bases-loaded double and a sacrifice fly as Kaasas City beat Cleveland twice.

Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones.

Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes.

The Pirates, division-leaders in the National League East, handed McLain his first National League defeat. McLein was obtained by the Braves from the Oakland Athletics' Birmingham far club in the Southern League two weeks ago.

Lee Lacey, Los Angeles' rookie second baseman, led the Dodger attack against Tom Seaver with three innings, but still needed ninth-inning relief from Rollie Fingers to gain his seventh victory. Joe Rudi doubled home two runs for Oakland and Dave Duncan delivered the other with his third homer in three days.

Rich Reese tied a major league record with the third pinch-hit grand slam homer of his career, but it wasn't enough for Minnesota as the Yankees had erupted for five runs in the first two innings and picked up three more in the seventh. Sparky Lyle gained his 19th save for New York.
