Ashe and Connors favored by Arthur Major League Leaders By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Wimbledon champion Arthur Ashe said yes- terday he would enjoy having Jimmy Connors as a partner in the Association of Tennis Pro- fessionals' Nations Cup tourna- ment to be played in Kingston, Jamaica, this fall. "Personal differences should be cast aside for national purposes," Ashe said at a news conference announcing the international team com- petition tournament, alluding to his off-the-court differences with Connors, including law- suits involving the pair. "I would love to play with Connors on both the Davis Cup and Nations Cup teams." Ashe, who is president of the ATB, already has qualified for the U.S. team in the Nations Cup tournament through a com- puterized point system being used by the Association to de- termine which countries and in- dividuals are eligible for the $100,000 event. Connors, who was defeated by Ashe in the Wimbledon finals, heads the list of qualifiers, and ATP executive director Jack Kramer said in- vitations had been sent to Con- nors at several addresses, "hop- ing that one will reach him." The United States and Aus- tralia are the only two na- tions which already have clinched places in the eight- team competition. The other nations will be determined on the basis of how their top singles players fare in various tournaments between now and the end of August. The two players from the na- tions who qualify according to the point system will choose a third players from their coun- try. The competition will include two singles and one doubles match. The tournament will run from Sept. 29 to Oct 5. Based on 200 at Bats. NATIONAL LEAGUE Player Club G AB R H Pet.
