"He came across with a right and cut me," explains Quarry of the gash above his left eye.

"He didn't hit hard. It was just one of those things. You can't Imagine bow unlucky I am at times. "That cut eye was a fluke and you tell me I didn't hit htm with a left to the belly thai hurt him in the second round." Asked about the fast All's dancing movements around the ring, Quarry replies, "what If he doesn't get a chance to move? 1 that. I'm stronger than he Is, not as big, but I know I'm stronger." In terming this his biggest chance.

Quarry points out a victory should put him in line for a million dollar purse In a heavyweight title bout against champion Joe Frazier.

Major League Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE East The North Carolina Democrat testified before a Senate commerce subcommittee against a bill which would create a Federal Sports Commission He said such an agency "Could stagnate professional sports and institutionalize many of the barbarian player management practices which now exist throughout the sports system." National Football League Commissioner Pete 1 1 and National Hockey League fessional football Is the most over supervised, over examined, and over regulated business in America today," Rozelle said. If football cannot solve its own problems regarding fans, television, players, stadium authorities he said, "the sport Itself will bear the penalty." Ervin opposes another bill which would allow the merger of the American and National Basketball Associations. said it would create another monopoly similar to baseball lawed, Ervin said. "Pirating is as American as apple pie," Ervin said, If that means one basketball player can jump to another league after completing his contract. The contract should be observed by the player, however, he said.

The commission would supervise terms of drafting amateur athletes, televising of games and franchise transfers from one city to another. But, Ervin went on in referring to franchise transfers, "if ATONOONOU PKSTIACZ a. 1. aaKab CMaaaV WNPFP J. ft 9rmlLm O.

Burn promptly after reading. Get Henry Kissinger on it at once. The United States la walking into another Communist trap) It'a going to be the same old story. It'a going to be a conflict of their choosifljj. on their grounds, under their terms, It'a going to be the aame old crud, a conflict we probably can't win because a atalerriate la almoit built in.

It'a going to have demilitarized tones, sanctuaries, the whole lot. Interna tlona quicksand. It'a the Baby of Pigs, Pamnunjom, the sellout all over again. We're playing for a tie, aa usual. The circumstances are these: The United States is probably the world's mightiest chess power.

That's because we have Bobby Fischer, the Brooklyn prodigy whose disposition would have to improve to be described as merely "irascible." Bobby is about to be sacrificed on the altar of diplomatic expedience, a tragic 'patriot in the mold of aBaaaBaaaKr.aalBaBai BaaaaaV aW aBaa! BaaJalBBBi 4 as JRi Ebj jaj Douglas MacArthur, Gary Powera or the Lafayette Es cadrille. We're sending him up in a coffin. We're sending him into battle handcuffed. Bobby has won all the skirmishes in his conflict. He routed a collection of Russian shock troops in Argentina a year ago with almost bored ease.

Now he is to meet the Russian champion, Boris Spassky. Immediately, of course, the juggling started. The Rus alarm tried to steer the ultimate conflict to the Tannenberg Marshes, or anywhere in the world the terrain would favor them. They usually do. Bobby thought Las Vegas would be fine.

The Russians shuddered. They had, after all, aeen "The Godfather." They suggested some venues where they think "moving pictures" are cave drawings in an earthquake. Bobby aald, no, thanks, his camel was broke, The Russians compromised on Iceland. For those of you bereft nf an atlas, this is a fog shrouded, inhabited Iceberg only in the North Atlantic reachable only by nuclear sub or polar bear. Bobby, who has all the warmth of a hooded cobra, sputters when he thinks about it.

"Stooges he shouts. "The International Chess Federation and the American Federation are all stooges of the Russians I The conditions are such that "drawn" games will be allowed. To Bobby, this la an international of magnitude of not being able to bomb the enemy aupply lines. Bobby wants to win. But, of course, America is In a period of not being beastly to the Russians.

Apparently, chess Is a game, in which it'a easy to play for a atalemate. I aay "apparently" because Bobby, explaining chess at the Dewar'a Celebrity Tennis Tournament at LaCosta the other day, has all the patience of Edward Teller explaining the hydrogen atom to a guy with a bone in his nose'. The Russian champion, Spassky, is "not in my class, really," Bobby says. "I'm a better player, period IF wa play 10 matchea to win, which is the way a match of tbia kind OUGHT to be played. "I'm being dictated toby tne Russian Chess Federation and my government la going along because, let's face it, we're in a program of 'detente' and I'm being sold out," Speaking of "selling out," Bobby also points out carefully there la no live television or satellite coverage out of 'Iceland and the prospect of 12 (of the 24) matchea being "drawn" by the Russian would automatically leave him the world champion and the Soviets would get the bulk of the $160,000 prise money.

Well, it'a the same old sordid drama. Why aren't the students out burning their chess borde on tha White House lawn Where la Dr. Spock in thla crisis? Shouldn't Bobby defect to Canada? And where are the groups chanting "Hall, no, Bobby won't go Cant Fullbright caU a hear, ing? Was this one of the concessions Nixon made at Moscow? la Joe Alsop Just going to SIT there? Not tne.
