iiare FffSasSi. ene; KJDXY SPORTS WRITEI Chss Moves To Television You can come out into the sun and rejoice, chess players, because your sport finally has hit the "big time." In other words, after hundreds of years being reserved for the intelligentsia, chess is going on network television. The event is the world championship, which is scheduled to begin this Sunday in one if the sports capitals of the world Reykjavik, Iceland. The contestants are "Broadway" Bobby Fischer of America and Boris "Boom Boom" Spassky of the Soviet Union. Television, in 'its subtle way, is billing it as the "Chess Match of the Century." Orlando's Channel 24 will carry all Sunday matches, starting at approximately 1 p.m.

running until a decision or adjournment rat 6 1 p.m. I'm told the Central Brevard cable hookup provides channel 24 (as channel 4). If you can't get cltannel 24, Wide World of Sports will show the highlights on July 8. Fischer and Spassky are the best players in the world today. More than that, they have just two common bonds chess and a mutual hatred.

From Spassky's point of view, Fischer is an arrogant savage without any couth. From Fischer's point of view, Spassky is a snob and a chicken. Replay? If television can capture the personalities of these two masters, it could be intriguing. However, if the TV people attempt to force the round game of chess into the square hole of conventional sports telecasting, the world championship may win an Emmy for best comedy of the year. The coverage could turn out to be something like this "Hi there, sports fans This is Frank Brady in beautiful downtown Reykjavik, where the sun never sets on the action game of chess.

"While you were watching a commercial for refrigerators, the first match between Fischer and Spassky got underway after the toss of the coin. Fischer won the toss and took black, so Spassky kicked off with his traditional opening of Q4 or pawn to Queen four for you housewives out there in video land. "Fischer has taken 15 minutes without making his first move, so that gives us a litr tie time to give you an instant replay of Spassky's first move. To analyze our slow jnotion, split screen instant replay, let's call on my reknowned colleague Wilfred Hyde Thames "Ah, thank you, Frank. Ah, it certainly is a pleasure to be here in Reykjavik where Sol never descends on the dynamic conflict of two men commanding their armies in this game which is so symbolic of Man's eternal warlike nature and, ah Coming to Grips "Wilfred, please "Ah, yes, quite right Ah, as you can see in the instant replay of Spassky's first move, he prefers to grip the pieces with the thumb and forefinger of his right moving them in a slow, deliberate jnanner Now, ah, notice as Spassky places the pawn into its new space how he hesitates and takes one final, searching look before releasing his grip." "Isn't 'that something, folks! Tell us, Wilfred; how does Fischer's style contrast with Spassky's?" "Ah, yes, quite right Well, when Fischer decides tolnake his' first move, you will notice he covers' the pawn with his entire' hand and' moves quickly and agressively Wilfred, but unfortunately we have rjin out of time and will have to sign off, 'before Fischer's first "Hojwever, 'you fans should stay tuned because we have a real treat in store for your By popular demand, we're repeating HeKUl'" ans hut No wis Tonight's Games: Tampa Tarpons vs.

The Astros had four singles, led by shortstop Pastro Perez with two hits raising his club leading batting average to .326. Curt Jordan and Luis Rodriguez also singled.

Ah said it "wasn't as easy as it looked," and instantly resumed his demand for another heavyweight title fight, saying: "Frazier is ducking me at his chicken farm."
