TOE COURIER-JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1972 5 IT 7 ST 1 Miss Baker one to beat in Falls Cities golf lilf I 1 However, Miss Baker won Nos. 10, 11 and 12 with a pair of pars and a birdie, then coasted until she closed out Mrs. Yoder on the 16th hole. She picked up a birdie on the par-three 12th with a six iron and an eight-foot putt. For the day, Mary Lou had three birdies and guessed her score would have been "around 80 if we'd gone 18 holes." Miss Baker, who moved from her hometown Kansas City to Louisville in 1950 to teach at Shawnee High, doesn't really remember the first time she played golf.

"I guess I didn't get serious about it until after I graduated from college," she said. "Woooeee, I've been playing forever and that's about the truth." She doesn't mind the challenge offered by a couple of pretty youngsters Gigi Baird and Shelley Grose. "Those two girls hit it out there real good," she admitted, "but I like to play anybody. I just like to play." Misses Grose and Baird collide today after scoring big opening victories. ley, the Indiana girls' high school champion, knocked off medalist Lois Straus 1 up on the 19th hole.

"Lois was unhappy with her putting," Mary Lou said. "I think she had four three-putt greens." Gigi had an easier time of it, stopping Kathy Adams 6 and 4. Today's card has Mary Lou and Mrs. Wall meeting at 8:30 a.m., followed by Mrs. Jack Baldridge the Falls Cities tournament manager and Mrs.

W. J. Detherage at 8:36. Then Miss Grose and Miss Baird match shots at 8:42, with the final twosome in the championship flight, Mrs. Walter Conklin and Mrs.

Sam Greenebaum, going off at 8:48. Mrs. Conklin was the most impressive winner yesterday, beating Mrs. J. W.

Duke 6 and 5. "Kitty had the hot putter," said Mary Lou, who plays out of Wildwood Country Club along with Mrs. Conklin. "Everybody left is capable of beating any of the others on a given day. This is a good group of golfers." The best, though, may be Mary Lou Baker.

Walton Jones 5 3. By GARY TUELL Courier-Journal ft Times Staff Writer The Women's Falls Cities championship is golf's solution to generation gaps, physical unfitness and the problem of where to send all those pretty ladies with nothing better to do than soak up the sun on their summer vacations. Everybody plays in the Falls Cities accountants, secretaries, housewives, school teachers and school girls. But none, perhaps, is better than "ageless" Mary Lou Baker, an assistant principal at Barret Junior High School and the defending champion. Because Miss Baker was exempt from Monday's qualifying round at Hunting Creek Country Club, there was speculation that her game would not be tuned to perfection.

She ended that thinking, though, by scoring a 3-and-2 victory over yesterday's first-round opponent, Mrs. James Yoder. Favors match play The victory vaulted Mary Lou into to- day's quarter-final match with Mrs. Thomas Wall, a long hitter who held off Mrs. J.

B. Daugherty 3 and 1. The match-play tournament continues through Friday. "My game has been up and down," said Mary Lou, who has three Falls Cities titles to her credit. "I hit the ball real well today.

I love match play because I tend to have a big score on a hole occasionally and it doesn't hurt too much. I like the psychology of match play, too. You can take chances or play safe, depending on how you stand." After swapping the lead back and forth on the front nine, Mary Lou and Mrs. Yoder made the clubhouse turn even. Associated Press Greetings Perfect! Bowler Gibson celebrates birthday (late) with 300 Randy Gibson, who observed his 21st birthday three days ago, gave himself a belated present last night with a sanctioned 300 game in the Metro Trophy League at Buechel Lanes.

Gibson, who works as an assistant mechanic at the bowling alley, had a previous high game of 277 in only four years of organized bowling. He didn't get off to a flying start in last night's five-game series, either, rolling 149 in each of the first two games. Then he escalated to 181, 221 and reeled off the perfect 300 in his last effort for an even 1,000 series. Gibson carries a 195 league average and a 189 book average. Spassky boasts edge BORIS SPASSKY (left) of Russia, the defending champion, and America's Bobby Fischer shake hands before beginning their world title chess match yesterday.

The match was adjourned after 40 moves and will be resumed today at 1 p.m. EDT. match ourns as ValueCenters Byrne called it a blunder. But if it was a blunder it was an attempt to inject life and perhaps victory into an apparently stalemated game. The Rev.

William Lombardy, a Franciscan Roman Catholic priest who acts as Fischer's second, said when the game was adjourned: "It's a difficult position to analyze. Since I'll have to analyze it for Bobby before the adjourned match resumes tomorrow I probably shouldn't say more." The loss of his bishop was typical of the American. It was an attempt to break the game open, avoiding a standoff. What surprised many was the cautious play in the opening and middle games by Fischer, who has a reputation for killer instinct. Experts from five countries said it appeared the challenger was trying to force a draw and a split point for the first game.

The 29-year-old American needs 1212 points to lift Spassky's crown in the 24-game match, which could spread over two months. Spassky, 35, needs only 12 points a draw to retain the championship, which has been in Soviet hands since 1948. Oddsmakers favor American London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the competition. The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125, plus $75,000 of the $120,000 contributed by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers estimated Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another as the players' share in the sale of television and film rights.

Before the players separated last nieht. By STEPHENS BROENING Associated Press Staff Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland Bobby Fischer made his opening assault on the Soviet chess fortress last night, but world champion Boris Spassky repelled it and left the American with a tough fight for a draw when their first game was adjourned. The first game of history's richest world chess title match was called after 40 moves and 3 hours and 34 minutes of play. It will resume at 1 p.m. EDT today, or 5 p.m.

Reykjavik time. When play was called off for the night, there was little left on the board: A king and five pawns for Fischer; a king, three pawns and a bishop for Spassky. U.S. grandmaster Robert Byrne said: "Fischer is going to have trouble making a draw. I don't see how Spassky can lose." Svetozar Gligoric, the Yugoslav grandmaster, commented: "It is doubtful whether black can save a draw." Fischer is playing the black pieces and Spassky the white, which means the Russian had the first move.

American shows up late Yefim Geller, the Russian who seconds Spassky, watched the final moves on closed-circuit television in the corridor, sipping coffee. "What do you think, Grandmaster Geller?" he was asked. "I am not thinking, I am drinking coffee," Geller replied. Fischer has played Spassky five times in the past. The three times he played the black pieces he lost.

Playing white, he was able to salvage two draws, but has never triumphed over the Soviet. Spassky made his first move yesterday all by himself in the shadowless illumination of the stage at Reykjavik's sports hall. There was something surrealistic about the world championship series with prize money of about $300,000 starting with only one man sitting at the chess table. Loss of bishop called blunder Fischer, as usual, was late. He arrived seven minutes after Spassky moved his queen's pawn and referee Lothar Schmid pressed the button to start Fischer's clock.

The game went cautiously at first, with the players alloted 2 12 hours each to make 40 moves. The experts said Fischer was trying for a draw by exchanging pieces, simplifying, trying to reduce the advantage Spassky had by choosing the opening. He galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal, snatching up a Spassky pawn. In a few moves the bishop was trapped. In the exchange, Fischer lost the bishop for two pawns.

bpassky wrote his 4lst move on a sheet of paper, sealed it in an envelope and gave it to Schmid, the referee from West Germany. Schmid will open the envelope this afternoon and make Spassky's first move for him. The championship match was scheduled to begin July 2, but Gudmundur Thorar-insson's Icelandic Chess Federation played midwife to delays, arguments and threatened walkouts. When the tardy Fischer finally strode onto the stage yesterday, Thorarinsson breathed an audible sigh of relief from his balcony seat. See it now at Enco ValueCenters.
