Sports in brief Chess duel still unsure: Lowerin 9 the roof Jiffy Clubbers rap 20 homers in 51-6 LIT softball triumph i Perrault signs with Sabres By RORRFR Courier-Journal Times Slaff Writer Beyond the left-field fence at Blueyrass r.irk is an industrial building with a low profile. It may he about, a. foot lower this morning than it was yesterday.

Last nightT the building served as an impact area for a mob of home-run-hitting soft bailers as the 11th annual Louisville Invitational Tournament got under way. Long home runs went over the left-field wall. So did high ones. So did blooping ones. Some soared between the uprights of a football goal post which unaccountably stands in the no man's land between the wall and the unfortunate building.

You got to know the left fielder more from seeing his backside than the front of his jersey. For the LIT. which features many of the nation's top Amateur Softball Association slo-pitch teams, local officials other diamond, Henley's premier prize for individual rowers, by Alexander Tim-oschinin of the Soviet Union. A heavyweight eight from Northeastern University of Boston moved into the final of the Grand Challenge Cup, Harvard's freshman eight reached the semifinals of the Thames Challenge Cup and the schoolboy eight from Kent School of Connecticut gained the final of the Princess Elizabeth Cup. BASKETBALL More than 1,100 suggestions for a new name for the Memphis Pros American Basketball Association team have been received since the name-the-team contest was announced Thursday by new ow ner Charles O.

Finley. The nickname "Kings" has drawn the strongest support.

are using a ball with less bounce than usual. But it didn't matter lat night, mostly to Louisville's host team, Jiffy Club. Oatti goes 8for-8 All Jiffy Club did was Are you ready for this? sprinkle 20 home runs (that's right. 20) among its 54 hits in a 51 6 rout of a team from Joliet, 111., which must have felt like it was watching rocket-launchings at Cape Kennedy. Bill Gatti, the former University of Louisville All-Missouri Valley Conference football fullback, led the awesome LIT-record offensive display.

He got eight hits in eight at-bats, including four homers, then changed clothes and left for work. Cobby Harrison, Joe Lovvry and Ron Potter swatted three homers each for the Louisville team, and seven other players hit one each. It was a satisfying night for Harrison, a former bonus baseball pitcher in the Minnesota Twins organization who played for the runner-up, Hikes Point, in last year's LIT. But, said the ex-Male High star, it wasn't his best softball game ever. "Earlier this year," he said, "I went six-for-six against the world champions (the Piledrivers of Virginia Reach, Va.) in a tournament at Chattanooga, Term.

But this was a pretty good night." Harrison finds answer Associated Press Organizers of the world chess championship reported considerable progress last night in their negotiations with Bobby Fischer's lawyer over a last-minute demand for more money in his match with Russia's Boris Spassky in Reykjavik. Iceland. However, after a 1 1 2-hour session with Andrew" Davis, Fischer's attorney, officials of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation said they had been given no assurances Fischer would appear for the beginning of the match Sunday. A spokesman for the federation said he got the impression Davis was seeking a compromise. Fischer is reportedly holding out for a 30 per cent cut of the gate receipts in addition to his share of the S125.000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sale of television and film rights.

The latter two conditions have already been agreed upon. Meanwhile, Dr. Max Euwe, president of the World Chess Federation, said that if Fischer fails to appear Sunday he stands to lose his right to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever." "I don't like Mr. Fischer in our chess world," added Euwe. "He's a good player but every day we are getting another ultimatum from him like this." HOCKEY Center Gil Perrault, National Hockey League rookie-of-the-year two seasons ago, signed a multi-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres.

Harrison, a 240 pound, 6 foot 3 third baseman, has solved the problem of slo-pitch Softball's so-called "ideal pitch," one which floats in at the hitter's shoulders and handcuffs him. "I just overpower it," he said. Lowry, a lithe 6-foot, 185-pound assistant basketball coach at Eastern High, does it with wrists and timing.

Gatti does it ith wrists, timing aid power. Despite Jiffy Club's explosion, Harrison doesn't think the team has hit sits peak. "I don't think there has ever been a better hitting team around here." he said, "but we still aren't really playing together. When we do get it together, we should be able to beat anybody." In the Chattanooga tournament, he pointed out. Jiffy Club lost by just one run.
