H-(3ic. II) Statesman, Salem, July 13, 72 Fischer Concedes First Game After Brief Protest Walkout sorry. It will settle down." He left immediately for his air conditioned hotel suite. Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation official who sometimes speaks for Fischer, said the American would take some strenuous physical exercise Wednesday night to get in shape for his second game with Spassky on Thursday.

When Spassky left, a crowd shouted congratulations. The Russian came to the hall Wednesday expecting to win, his associates Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped his clock. He offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard afid walked out-pausing once to wave to the audience, which was applauding the Russian. Fischer left the hall by the stage door whitefaced and hurried to a waiting car.

From the car he spotted John Collins, a paraplegic sitting a few feet away in a wheel chair. Collins taught Fischer the game. Fischer rolled down the car window and said, "I'm the struggle, making his 44th move, an ineffectual sidestep with his king. In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage.

Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's side peared with his long rolling gait through the beige curtains offstage left. Fischer strode to his backstage dressing room where he told Schmid, who followed him, that he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the chess board was ordered shut off. It was barely visible from where Fischer sat. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed.

Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes while his clock continued to devour time. He returned to continue threatened a Fischer pawn when play concluded Tuesday night. In the first move Wednesday, Spassky captured the pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king. Suddenly after five minutes of play and some indecisive sparring, Fischer stood, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and disap Asked about Slater's problem, Fischer snapped, "No comment." The play lasted only one hour and three minutes.

It was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves with Fischer in a position the experts said would give him only a draw at best. Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down, to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's "side. One of Spassky's pawns REYKJAVIK. Iceland (AP) With a hopeless pos-tion on the chess board, Bobby Fischer walked out for 30 minutes Wednesday, then returned to lose the first game of the world chess championship to Boris Spassky, the Russian titleholder.

After the game was over Fischer told the man who taught him the moves of the game when he was a boy in Brooklyn, N.Y., that "it will settle down." It was a bad day all around for the 29-year-old American. In addition to conceding Spassky a 1-0 lead in the score at the outset of the 24-game match, Fischer developed some more money trouble. News from London was that James Slater, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 pounds about $120,000 wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. Slater's donation, which pushed the total prize money to $300,000, enticed Fischer to end his holdout at the scheduled start of the match July 2. ji I Tin 7 Hnn WHITE KING 49 t.
