3S-(Sic 111) SUtisaaa, Salea, OnM July 6. 17 Fischer Says He's Sorry, but Chess Champ Skyjacking Ends Boris Spassky Wants His Apology in Writing -r week before the first game. Fischer's holdout for more money brought the takings for both winner and loser to the highest amount ever in world championship chess. The winner will get $231,250 and the loser $168,750. The 24-game series between Spassky of the Soviet Union and the 29-year-old American challenger was to have begun last Sunday.

It was put off for two days because of Fischer's holdout, then delayed until Thursday by Soviet objections to the American's conduct. Euwe admitted Wednesday he had violated the rules in allowing delays in the starting date, and promised strict rule enforcement from now on. He then suggested the further postponement and violating Fide rules. This happened at a news conference called by Yefim Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spassky's second. Speaking for the absent world champion, Geller said Spassky would return home if the demands were not met.

Fulfilment of the Russian demand that Fischer forfeit the first game would give Spassky a 1-0 score advantage in the score at the outset. The 24 games are scored one point for a win, a split point for a draw and nothing for a loss. Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title, Fischer 12.5 to defeat him.

With the confrontation threatening never to reach the checkered board, President Max Euwe of the International Chess Federation FIDE took some of the blame and suggested a further postponement until next week for the dust to settle. Euwe said he had allowed Fischer's tardy arrival he got here Tuesday because "Fischer is quite another person. He's living in another world." Euwe said he realized Titleholder Boris Spassky was "very upset" and would like to give him a Daniel J.
