LOS ANGELES (UPI) Billie Jean King's former lover, Marilyn Barnett, lost a bid Wednesday to remain in a Malibu beach house she says the tennis star promised her during their love affair, but another hearing is needed before she can be evicted.

Superior Court Judge Leon Savitch denied Miss Barnett's request for an injunction that would have kept Mrs. King and her husband, sports promoter Larry King, from evicting the tennis star's former lover from the house.
