"I didn't pitch thai bad at Oakland," McLain. said.

"The thing that is hard for me ti believe is a club can look a' you five times and decide it doesn't want you. Told he would start Tuesday, McLain said he was excited and a little apprehensive. "You're always a little apprehensive," hp said. "I'm just excited about being here." McLain said when he wai sent to the minors he was weak from taking diet pills. "Rut in the first couple of weeks, I started throwing real well down there." he said.

There was no fanfare accompanying McLain's arrival. In fact, Atlanta Manager Lumn Harris and Braves pitching coach Lou Burdette weren't too talkative about the controversial McLain. "I don't know how he can pitch." Harris said. "I've never seen him pitch but I'm going to find out. He'll start Tuesday.

We scouted him and the scouts liked him so we traded for him." Harris said McLain's arrival wouldn't interrupt the Braves' pitching rotation. "I ain't got one." Harris said. "I pitch whoever is available. I rotate (Phil) Niekro and (Ron) Reed when it comes their turn to pitch." "I've never been associated with him," Burdette said. "I've never seen him pitch so I can't comment on something I don't know anything about."

As a result, the International Looh What Postman By MARY ELLEN MYRENE Associated Press Writer When he won his first U.S. chess championship at the age of 14, Bobby Fischer observed with nearly galling relish, "I like to see 'em squirm." Now 29 and facing Russia's Boris Spassky for the world title, Fischer remains one of the most controversial and most successful players in the game's history. As passionately devoted to his privacy as he is to his game, Fischer has a public record of being sullen, high-strung, a prima donna and chronic complainer. But while his actions outside tournaments may be unexpected and perplexing, his game inside is legendary an aggressive strategy dotted with ferocious attacks that have left his opponents exhausted. Bobby Fischer wants no more and no less to win.

And he has done so with incredible consistency, winning a total of eight U.S. championships and dominating recent international play. Described by chess master Anthony Saidy as "the most rounded chess genius of all time," Fischer now seeks the only title that has ever eluded him-the world championship held by 1he Russians since 1948. and by Spassky for the past three years.
