...have all the shots the men do," says Billie Jean King. "Maybe not as much muscle and power, but girls use a lot more tactics. That's why people who play on the local level relate to us more than they do to a Rod Laver or a Pancho Gonzalez. Our game is more like theirs." The Richmond tournament last month, which Mrs. King won with a final-round 6-3, 6-3 victory over Nancy Richey, was sold out before it opened.

He has pitched to major league baseball stars in Yankee Stadium; he has shanked and hooked his way over golf links in competition with the world's top moneymakers, and lost to Pancho Gonzales on the tennis court. He has fumbled hand-offs as a training-camp quarterback for the Detroit Lions and missed baskets while working out as a forward for the Boston Celtics...
