She said audiences in the United States have been warm and friendly, similar in that respect to the people back home. Was there anyone special in those audiences in the Soviet Republic? "Boy friends?" laughed the 4-foot-10, 83-pound blonde. "I have many friends." "My love," she added, "is gymnastics. I will continue as long as my performance brings happiness to people." Miss Korbut said she practices up to four hours a-day.

"I perform," she said. "I don't concern myself with such matters (women's lib) while I perform." Miss Korbut said she admired the American style of gymnastics and. found unique elements in it. She liked the different choreography and "the well produced individual movement." She added, however, that she felt the American composition of movements sometimes lacked fluidity. Editor's Note: Olga Korbut, the Soviet gymnast who won four gold -medals at the World Games last year, completed a tour of the United States Tuesday night with an exhibition in St.

Paul, Minn. She was interviewed on the. eve of her final exhibition by Alisa Kopytov, a secretary in the Minneapolis bureau of The Associated Press. Mrs. Kopytov speaks fluent Russians and talked to Miss Korbut without the aid of an interpreter.

By ALISA KOPYTOV Of The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -Olga Korbut, the 19-year-old Soviet gymnastics star, shrugged off questions about women's lib Tuesday and indicated she didn't really understand what it was all about. Anyhow, Miss Korbut said, she had "no time for politics" in her busy, athletic life. Miss Korbut, winner of four gold medals at the 1973 World Games, met reporters in St.

Paul Tuesday night as she and her team wound up a two week Weiskopf (Continued from Page 1C) APWirtphoto Taking a break Astros, Moffitt found a note tacked to his locker. It said: "Hello. How are you doing? (signed) B. J. King." She had used the locker her little brother would use just for luck.

Randy had watched her on television along with the rest of the Giants, and rooted for her as the rest of them did. "The first ball site hit that night, I knew she'd beat Riggs," Moffitt said. "I could see the look on her face." It was the same kind of look he remembered from the dinner table when their father brought home her first racket. "She said right then, she'd be the best in the world," Randy said. If she had an.

influence on his athletic career, randy hsays he can't pin it down, except that he grew to admire her competitiveness. "She must have had an influence there," he said. "She's very dedicated, plus she has killer instinct. The first time she lost, she was ticked off. She threw her racket.

She says the easier you accept defeat, the more often you get beat. "When we get together, we talk about defeats. We hardly ever talk about victories." The last time they played tennis, Bobby recalls was three or four years ago. "When she's serious, I couldn't take a point off her. But she gets to laughing.

You know, we never had an argument at home. Isn't that weird?" Randy doesn't play tennis often. It bothers his elbow. It doesn't hold his interest on television, either. He says he prefers anything but golf to tennis.

"I saw so much of it all my life, I got my fill of it. tennis players, I think so many of them are babies, All of them are pampered. "I wish you could yell and scream at a tennis match." He rose from his stool and sat back down on his hands to mimic the crowd at a tennis match. "I used to hate that," he said. Many of those times he was watching Billie Jean Moffitt play and come home with a trophy.

But he says he doesn't regard her success and her defeat of Riggs, the male, as an intrusion. The Riggs match was just a promoted event, not an everyday thing. "They're people, too," Randy said. "If a woman doesn't want to be a housewife, she can play tennis. She should play with her own kind." That, he said, goes for Little League.

"Girls should play with girls and men with men," he said. "I hate to see a girl take a kid's place at 9 and hurt his chance to earn a living later." To Randy Moffitt. brother of Billie Jean King, it was just the logical conclusion. To hirr it wasn't straining the point. "When I was in the Little League," he said, "I knew I wanted to play professionally." By STEVE JACOBSON Star-Newsday FLUSHING, L.

I. Randy Moffitt wears his distinction with a smile. He can't think of another big-league athlete in any sport whose sister is more successful as an athlete than he. Randy would have to do something like win the Cy Young Award to match Billie Jean Moffitt King. She has 'won everything a woman tennis player caji win.

She even beat Bobby Riggs. That's all right. Randy says. He and his sister always have liked each other. And it was only Her competition against a man was hardly threatening.

Baseball and Little League, they are something else. Randy Moffitt is not a male chauvinist pig. He's tall and lean, with collar-length dark brown hair and a ready smile. "Just a male chauvinist," he corrected at Shea Stadium as the rain washed out a chance to pitch in relief for the San Francisco Giants against the Mets. He doesn't think much of tennis male, tennis, anyhow.

Moffitt remembers playing a lot more tennis than baseball while he was growing up in Long Beach, but dropping tennis as soon as he was old enough to understand why. He says it wasn't a rationalization. "Who goes out for tennis?" Moffitt said. "The guys who can't make the baseball, basketball or football team. I'd rather be the 12th or 15th man on a good basektball team than be the world's greatest tennis player.

"Billie says, 'But that's the best in the "To me, that's the best in a minor sport." Randy is 25, five years younger than his sister. He says the fact that she was such a good tennis player when he was 10 and she was 15 wasn't why he abandoned tennis. He remembers that he was a pretty good tennis player, too. They had the same teacher. Tennis just wasn't his game.

It was the game his sister accepted when their father explained there wasn't much future for a woman Softball player, no matter how good Billie Jean was at that. From the time she was 15, Randy recalls his sister being gone from the house for one tennis tournament or another and quickly gaining national recognition. There has been little contact the last few years, with Randy moving through the minor leagues and, finally, last year being recognized as one of the better relief pitchers. Their paths crossed sort of the night last September after Billie Jean beat Riggs in the Houston Astrodome in tennis' "Battle of the Sexes."

"I just hope it rains and keeps cold and the wind blows all day long," said Trevino. "I'm one of the few Americans who loves it here in the worst weather. "I hit the ball so low that no one can keep up with my company." Weiskopf, nursing a hairline fracture of a bone in his left wrist, was defending his title against doctors orders. Weiskopf said that winning the British Open changed his life. "It altered my whole outlook about the game," he said.

I used to be mean and moody but I'm not like that any more. "You see, now I know I can win the British Open. (Continued from Page 1C) and speaking to reporters in a near whisper. "Sure you get down on yourself," he added, "but the only way to get that confidence back is to go out there, relax and do the job." Brett, who allowed nine hits, trailed 2-0 into the Pittsburgh fourth when the Pirates scored four runs off knuckle-balling Phil Niekro, now 8-8 with the loss. Atlanta scored in the third when Garr raced home from third base while Dusty Baker was caught in a rundown between first and second.

Garr slid home as Pirate catcher Manny Sanguillen missed an errant throw from second baseman Rennie Sten-nett. Brett, who recovered in time to throw Baker out at third, tossed his glove angrily to the ground as he stomped into the dugout. "Sure I was a little mad," he said. "I'm not blaming anyone, but you practice that play in spring training and there's no way you should screw it was a big run and we're lucky it didn't hurt us." Pittsburgh's four-run fourth was keyed by five hits, including a two-run double to left by Sanguillen, and the Pirates scored what proved to be the desicive run in the seventh. Mario Mendoza opened with a single and the hit-and-run play was on when Brett, batting about .320, lined a single to right off Atlanta reliever Lew Krause.

Garr fielded the ball cleanly and flipped a hard underhand throw to the infield that glanced off the glove of second baseman Marty Perez and rolled into center as Mendoza scored. The error was charged to Perez. SAT. OPEN 9:30 AM 9:30 PM Major League Leaders Jrfitrlcen League 11 BATTING (10 st bats) Carew, Win, Ml: Hrgrot, Tex, .335 RUNS Campanerls, Oak. 55; D.

Neither side would officially say what the significance of Friday had to do with the resumption of talis, but it was learned that management negotiators had told Scearce on Monday that labor lawyer Theodore Kheel, counsel for fie NFLMC, had long ago scheduled a mid-week trip, not connected with the strike, to California. NFLMC sources said Kheel would have canceled his trip if it appeared that the two sides would start talking again, but he went ahead with his plans when the federal mediator couldn't get Garvey to agree to new negotiations.

The union's 63 demands include the so-called "freedom issues," which call for players to have the right to negotiate with any team they wish and to veto trades, as well as an end to the reserve and waiver clauses and drastic curbs on the disciplinary powers of coaches, owners and the league commissioner to impose fines. "We will not consider eliminations, but we will consider modifications," repeated Thompson early today. But Thompson wouldn't suggest any modifications. And the union says it is management's time to make a counterproposal. In other developments Tuesday: NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle told The Associated that granting total freedom to the players from binding contracts would mean that a few rich teams would dominate the league, -some poorer teams would eventually go out of business, over-all revenues would drop and fan interest would decline.

-Officials of the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Canton, Ohio, said the second scheduled NFL exhibition, the July 27 game between St. Louis and Buffalo, would not be played if the players' strike halts preseason training for rookies. Except for the College All-Stars, who stopped practicing until negotiations resumed, rookie drills are under way in all training camps that have opened.

As a matter of fact, we may play with the same team with which we will play all season long." Pickets from the NFLPA marched near the eight NFL camps which were open by Tuesday. And Johnny Unitas, the veteran quarterback of the San Diego Chargers, said he would report to camp as scheduled on Friday, joining such players as center Jim Langer of the Miami Dolphins, tackle Ralph Neely of the Dallas Cowboys and linebacker Mike Curtis of the Baltimore Colts in announcing defiance of the union. 124; 23; 6, Mart HIT S-Carew, Min, Rudi, Oak, 101.

"WE STARTED TO swap films," says Gotta, "but decided they didn't know any more about us than we did about them so we just left it that way." The league is being watched by doubters, but Gotta is more than optimistic. "Our league will come on quickly," he says.

"The older and more experienced players will retain their quickness and the rookies will get experience. I think some of the people we have signed from the NFL might be surprised when they get here next year (and the next)." One thing the new league is trying to do is take the foot out of the football namely all those field goals and "automatic" extra points. KICKOFFS ARE FROM the 30-yard line instead of the 40 (The NFL is moving back to the 35), missed field goals beyond the 20 will be returned to the line of there are no fair catches on punts and a touchdown will count seven points. Points after must be run or passed in from two and one-half yards away. Receivers can also catch the ball with just one foot inbounds, just as in the college ranks.

The NFL requires both feet inbounds for a pass completion. LA. Si; Bonds, 1 RUNS-Wynn, SF; 57. KM 300 WHITEWALLS 4 PLIES POLYESTER CORD smi I mi. I uu 1 ru, i7i.n 16,88 F7.u n.n 18.88 141 M-M Oil OQ 21.i fcUlOO tj i4.it 21i88 urn i WMtmnlh 2.44 Inn Eidi (jfi All Tint Mm FI.T.
