Bobby's Chess Whatever one thinks of Bobby Fischer’s war-of- nerves tactics andother pei^ sonal behavior, tliere is no douht he’s a master chess player. In dominating Boris Spas sky, the world’s champion, in their first dozen games, Fischer appeius certain to be the new champion, and could possibly be by the time some read this editori.'il. For America, it is an ac complishment all can take pride in-that this young chess genius has almost single-handedly ended det’- ades of Russian supremacy in what is perhaps tht' eWorld’s most demanding non- Zcard game. Fischer is thus certain to be remembert'd in America as both a groat chess player and folk hero, who came from nowhere to dominate world chess, un- qiiestionahly a prodigious achievement. offs started last night with the following games; 6 p.m. - Gastonia Knit vs. Dicey; 7 p.m. - Caroiina Th rowing vs. Mica Mine; 8 p.m. - Duplex vs. Spectrum; 9 p.m. - Craftspun vs. Oxford. Champion’s HZ drew the bye and will play on Wednesday against the winner of the Gas tonia Knit - Dicey game. Football is just around the corner and the Kings Mount ain “Mountaineers” arehard at work under Coach Bob Jones. They have nine return ing letter men and a very small squad. Coach Jones, in his second year, hopes to better bis '4-4-1 t^ord of last sea son. Next week, thefan’sall-star selections of both the Church and Industrial Leagues will be announced. Lots of tourna ments will also take place in the next few weeks. Go out and watch some of these games, and we’ll see you next week. WOMEN’S CHURCH RESULTS: BASEBALL * * * By Pete Fritchle Washington, D. C.-Fa vored treatment to Denny Mc Lain, lucky he is still in the game, by the Atlanta Braves, doesn't help baseball’s im age. McLain, demoted right ly to the Southern Associa tion when he couldn’t win (he had a horrible ERA with Oakland), didn’t do any bet ter in the Southern. Yet he was bought by the Braves and brought to At lanta and given starting as signments. One must assume he was bought as a gate at traction. That seems unfair to fans and players eager and trying to bring Atlanta a winnet. Big names unquestionably increase the gate. Vida Blue, who also isn’t doing well this year, still draws crowds. But they may not be so big next year if he doesn’t turn in a good overall year in 1972. The usual fate of a pitch- Want To Learn Honda Repair?

Aug:ust 19. 1972 Kilgo On Sports by JOHN KILGO Pete Brennan, a former UNC All-American and a member of the ‘57 national champion ship cage team, was the third player picked by the NBA in the 1958 draft. “The third player picked in last year’s pro draft got $1.9 million,” Brennan said. “In 1958, I got $11,000. That in cluded my bonus and my first year's salary with the Knl- ck’s.” Brennan, a native New York er, now lives in Charlotte where be manufactures his own line of trousers. He'sdo- ing well. N.C. State running backs Charley Young and WUlle Burden are staying in shape this summer by loading heavy equipment for a Raleigh firm. The two plan to be in top shape when football practice starts next week...When you look at the overall sports program, South Carolina is probably re cruiting heavier in all sports than any college in the South. The Gamecocks mean bus iness, whether it be in foot ball or golf. Whitey Lockman, the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, says former skipper LeoDur- ocher dropped by to chat one day. Leo seems to be of a mind to take a trip to Europe and forget all about baseball. 1 don’t blame you, Leo. Luman Harris had to realize that his days as manager of the Atlanta Braveswerenum bered. The Braves are the most uninspired bunch of at hletes I've ever seen. They deserve to be In the cellar, but new manager Eddie Ma thews shouldn’t be treated as a fhll guy. It’s bard to force grown men to take pride in their work. There is little pride on the Atlanta roster. Steve Jones, the big belter from Duke, deserves pre season picks as ACC foot baller of the year. If Jones can avoid injuries, he should have his biggest season...Ske- eter Francis, assistant to the commissioner of the ACC, is getting ready for the annual onslaught. Skeeter will usher area sportswriters to ACC football camps in a couple of weeks. There’s a new rule on the simultaneous catch in college football this year. Used to be, if an offensive and defensive man both hit the ground with a pass the ball would go to the oftense. Now the two will be allowed to wrestle on the gro und for possession of the ball. ACC coaches were discussing this rule at Greensboro last weekend and someone won dered what would happen if a third party jumped into the fray. “ Easy, ” answered Wake F o- rest coach Tom Harper.’ ‘ Blow the whistle and call a jump ball.” Don’t ask me why but I just completed Dave Meggesy’s book on football. He’s the dude who played college football at Syracuse and later was a mar ginal player for the St. Louis Cardinals. Meggesy took all that football had to give him, then slammed the sport with a rabbit punch. Sorry, David, but I found your comments un believable...And by the way, Florida’s best linebacker this year with a blast at the inhu manity of the game. Did you catch Howard Cosell on the College All Star Game with Frank Gifford and Bud Wilkinson? Howie baby fell flat. A man that obnoxious needs Don Mereditli around— and it’s Meredith, not Cosell, who makes Monday night foot ball a delight. When Gary Player won the PGA championship last week, it assured the World Series of Golf which comes up next month for an all star cast. Participants will be Jack Nlcklaus, Lee Trevino, Play er and Gay Brewer. Nlcklaus, Trevino and Player have to be the three best players on the tour at the present time.
