(AP) British bookies were offering odds of 100-1 today against a couple of American teen-agers carrying off both singles crowns in the Wimbledon Tennis Championships Such friendly bet one dollar to win a were certain to attract plenty of cash support for Jim Connors and Chris Evert Connors the 19-year-old left-hander from Belleville 111 has reached the final 16 of the men's division Miss Evert 17-year old star from Fort Lauderdale Fla has reached the last 32 irk the women's singles "The odds seem rather big to me" Connors said "I would have thought we have a better chance than the bookmakers seem to think" If Connors reaches the quarter-finals he is likely to come up against Romania's lie Nastase the No 2 seed Nastase playing better on grass than he ever has done before is a tough proposition for anyone in a tournament weakened by the absence of the big stars of World Championship Tennis But even if the unseeded Connors got past Nastase he could find himself in a semifinal against the man he fears most of Dibley of Australia It was Dibley a power server with shoulders like an ox who eliminated Connors' teacher Pancho Gonzales in the second roand this year "I watched part of the match" Connors said "Dibley was hitting rockets" Miss Evert seeded fourth in her first Wimbledon could have an easier path to tread But even if everything goes well in her next two matches she faces the prospect of meeting Australia's Evonne Goolagong the defending champion in the semifinals Connors forged his way into the last 16 by downing Italy's No 1 Adrian() Panatta 6-3 0-6

was there to watch "Hitting the home run in front of Aaron was very special to me" said the San Diego Padres' rookie third baseman "He was my boyhood idol" On a Thursday night Aaron belted his 654th career homer to move to within 60 of equalling Babe Ruth's record 714 Roberts rapped four hits in five trips in an 8-6 San Diego victory over the Atlanta Braves "I'm getting my confidence" Roberts said "I've changed to a bat with a little bigger barrel and I've shortened my stroke That's made me a lot quicker at the plate" San Diego manager Don Zimmer smiled that "I-toldyou-so" smile and said of his 21- year-old former University of Oregon infielder: "I've been waiting for a night like this for the kid to get his confidence up I knew he never was going to embarrass himself although not too many kids can come off a college campus and go right into the big leagues It's a rarity But Dave's a little more mature than most kids his age" Roberts from a little community of Lowell near Eugene Ore drilled his homer off reliever Mike McQueen in the fourth inning with the bases empty COLT LEAGUE STATISTICS AB AVE CANTON Ohio (AP) "Her heart is her strength" an admiring teammate said of

because the championship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax Fischer won't Fischer doesn't think any of these things are pure accidents He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to try to beat him psychologically "The world champion has the right to pick the site of the championships" says Fischer "Spassky wasn't even there when the international governing body chose the site A Russian delegation was there and they picked the site" Fischer feels the championships have become a political matter That annoys him But it hasn't lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky Fischer has a lot of that same "killer instinct" Jack Dempsey had when he was fighting Some of that instinct shows up even when he's not sitting at the chess board 1 A NEW YORK (UPI)--The i i 1 1 more Bobby Fischer thinks 1 about it the more it bugs him Why Reykjavik Iceland? 1 i "Why not Rome?" Fischer I would like to know "Why not Paris Oslo Zurich Dallas or New York? Or even Moscow? Any large city where there's 1 Li people activity and decent restaurants would be fine Some place at least where there's 1 i something to do at night" 1 i Bobby Fischer America's 29- i year-old chess genius has a theory about why Reykjavik 'i i was picked as the site of the world championship which starts this Sunday I' 4 4 The Russians are the ones I who picked Reykjavik I 1 Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive He thinks they want to "hide" the championship because he feels he's going to take it from the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky What's more Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going to do it In this own way Fischer is a demonstrator him Fischer doesn't hold back He is exceptionally outspoken and honest and when you hear his objections to -playing in Reykjavik they do make a good deal of sense Fischer has been there so when he talks about Reykjavik he isn't doing so from hearsay but from personal experience He says there Is so little to do there particularly at night a guy can go out of his everloving mind Not that Fischer is a rounder If anything he's much more of a loner but there are times he would like to become part of the general mix or at least observe it and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says the television coverage will be limited If he beats Spassity he doesn't see why it should be somekind of secret Fischer originally planned to go to the world championships with only one other person Spassky is already in Reykjavik He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there This has shaken up a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions Call it oneupsmanship if you like Boris Spassky needn't worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though Bobby Hull may or may not play for the Winnipeg Jets next season rnd Rick Barry may or may not play for the Golden State Warriors but there is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing for the world championship of chess Even in Reykjavik Mainly because he thinks he's going to win I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's right and that has nothing to do with chauvinism Spassky is good but Fischer is better and when the tall curly-haired New Yorker is right he's like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when they're right Meaning nobody's going to beat SMILE YOU'RE VIMI SAFECO AE 1E 1UCII0E0 WITH The Icelandic federation was reported seeking a compromise In negotiations with Fred Cramer former president of the American Chess Federation who is acting as Fischer's advance man The Icelanders said they have already spent about $200000 on preparations and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't break even The gate receipts probably will be considerable Matches will be played three to six days a week in a 2500-seat sports palace with seats at $5 each And the series is expected to last two months Continued from A-12) The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless he got 30 per cent of the gite receipts This would be in addition to his share of the $125000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sales of television and film rights already agreed to INFANTINO COMPANY INSURANCE CONSULTANTS 16 SAFECO ihilluRANCe 626 PRIMROSE AT OLIVE MONROVIA 359-3293 I.
