Ashe off to good
start at Wimbledon
By The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England - Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors,
arch rivals for the Wimbledon crown, each won their first round
matches in straight sets yesterday as the big tennis festival start-
ed with sunshine and swarming crowds.
ASHE, the defending champion, had a tough opponent in 19-
year-old Ferdi Taygan of Framingham, Mass., but won 7-5, 6-4, 7-5.
Connors, the 1974 winner, had an easier time, beating Antonio
Zugarelli of Italy 6-2, 6-3, 6-2.
OTHER SEEDED players winning included Ilie Nastase of Ro-
mania, Bjorn Borg of Sweden, Adriano Panatta of Italy, Giuller-
mo Vilas of Argentina, Roscoe Tanner of Lookout Mountain,
Tenn., Paul Ramirez of Mexico and Tom Okker of the Nether-
lands.
Ashe won the first three games, but Taygan took 14 points in
a row in an astonishing spell and came back to lead 4-3. Ashe
was serving wide to his opponent's forehand and look startled as
Taygan hit back winning returns.
Later, with Ashe serving at 4-5, Taygan went to set point with
another fine forehand across the court. Ashe, however, hit his
way out of trouble.
CONNORS, meanwhiie, was in trouble with some of the fans
for clowning during his one-sided match with Zugarelli. He wag-
ged his finger playfully at the Italian after making winning
strokes, and the crowd didn't like it.
"Get on with it, Connors," a man shouted near the end of the
match.
European hopefuls had easy passages to the second round.
Nastase, the artistic Romanian, bruhed aside Nikki Spear of Ypso-
slavia 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Borg, the idol of Sweden, downed Britain's
David Lloyd 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.
PANATTA, the handsome Italian who won both the Italian
and French titles on clay this year, looked less comfortable on the
grass here in defeating Jorge Andrew of Venezuela 4-6, 6-4, 7-5,
6-4.

Cleveland clipped
NEW YORK - Ed Figueroa's
three-hit pitching combined with
the hitting and fielding of third
baseman Graig Nettles sparked
the New York Yankees to a 6-0
victory over the Cleveland In-
dians last night.
Figueroa, 8-4, struck out
seven and walked two. Cleve-
land starter Dennis Eckersley
was the loser and now is 3-6
for the season.
The Yankees scored twice in
the seventh on a double by Jim
Mason and successive singles
by Mickey Rivers and Roy
White. The single by Rivers ex-
tended his hitting streak to 13
games.
