THE TIMES HERALD Friday, June 30, 1972 PAGE 2, SECTION Schaefer 500 Cancelled vet sports, has been canceled at least for the time being. Officials of the sanctioning U.S. Auto Club took the action Thursday when they showed up at Pocono International Raceway and found the track locked and guarded by policemen. There is a chance it may be By BLOYS BR ITT AP Auto Racing Writer MOUNT POCONO, Pa. (AP) The Schaefer 500, third richest race in motor Fischer Thinks So VI" ''l'A vliL WiK Are Russians Burying The Chess Championship? Defying The Law Of Gravity race.

"Long Jonn," wnose reai name is unnnown, irom iiaiy also, and Filannino escaped injury. Cars normally run on the ground, adhering to the law of gravity. But In Monza, Italy, Thursday, "Long John" flew over Roberto Filinnino of Italy during the Formula Italia car scheduled for a later date. William J. Smyth, executive director of USAC, said a meeting of the group's executive committee will be called soon, probably Saturday, to discuss a possible renegotiation of Po-cono's racing schedule.

USAC has a five-year agreement with the raceway to sanction all of its major events, including a 500 mile race for stock cars scheduled for July 30. Sunday's race was to have paid just over $400,000 in prize and accessory money. Only the $1 million Indianapolis 500 and the $750,000 California 500 at Ontario are richer. Plagued by rain on seven of the 10 days set aside for practice and qualifying, and pressured by Pennsylvania Gov. Milton J.

Shapp not to hold the event in the middle of the state's flood disaster area, Pocono officials had announced Wednesday that the Schaefer would not be run as scheduled. Dr. Joseph Mattioli, the' track's board chairman and chief executive officer, said he asked USAC officials as early as last Monday for a new date. Smyth refused, saying his racing crew was prepared to run the race. Additionally, Smyth said, the sanctioning agreement given USAC sole prerogative to run the race, or cancel or postpone it, as conditions dictate.

Mattioli revealed that Gov. Shapp had written him Monday suggesting that consideration be given to postponing the race. He said Gov. Shapp cited a possible overtaxing of the areas already damaged utilities and roads by an influx of possibly 100,000 people for the race. Smyth said a decision will be made at USAC executive committee meeting about what to do with the $275,000 base prize money already turned over to the sanctioning group.

The official earlier had indicated that the prize money would be forfeited outright. No Injury Deters Evel Knievel to go to the world championships with only one other person; Spassky is already in Reykjavik with what amounts to an entourage. Fischer reads significance into that al? because the championship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax, Fischer won't. Fischer doesn't think any of these things are pure accidents. He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to try to beat him psychologically.

"The world champion has the right to pick the site of the championships," says Fischer. "Spassky wasn't even there when the international governing body chose the site. A Russian delegation was there and they picked the site." Fischer feels the championships have become a political matter. That annoys him. But it hasn't lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky.

Fischer has a lot of that same "killer instinct" Jack Dem-psey had when he was fighting. Some of that instinct shows up even when he's not sitting at the chess board. Earlier this month, for example, he competed with 15 other top athletes in the De-wars Sports Celebrity tennis championships at LaCosta, and it was a little funny to watch such headliners as Rick Barry, Deacon Jones and Elgin Baylor all ask Fischer for his autograph. Sports News In next season and Rick Barry may or may not play for the Golden State Warriors, but there is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing for the world championship of chess. Even in Reykjavik.

Mainly because he thinks he's going to win. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly-haired New Yorker is right, he's like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when they're right. Meaning nobody's going to beat him. Fischer doesn't hold back.

He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing in Reykjavik, they do make a good deal of sense. Fischer has been there, so when he talks about Reykjavik he isn't doing so from hearsay but from personal experience. He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night, a guy can go out of his ever-loving mind. Not that Fischer is a rounder. If anything, he's much more of a loner, but there are times he would like to become part of the general mix, or at least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says the television coverage will be limited.

If he beats Spassky, he doesn't see why it should be some kind of secret. Fische originally planned ulLJUU MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) The more Bobby Fischer thinks about it, the more it bugs him. Why Reykjavik, Iceland? "Why not Rome?" Fischer would like to know. "Why not Paris, Oslo, Zurich, Dallas or New York? Or even Moscow? Any large city where there's people, activity and decent restaurants would be fine. Some place at least where there's something to do at night." Bobby Fischer, America's 29-year-old chess genius, has a theory about why Reykjavik was picked as the site of the world championship which starts this Sunday.

The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik. Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive. He thinks they want to "hide" the championship because he feels he's going to take it from the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky. What's more, Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going to do it. In this own way, Fischer is a demonstrator.

He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having to play" in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there. This has shaken up a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions. Call it one-upsmanship if you like. Boris Spassky needn't worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though. Bobby Hull may or may not play for the Winnipeg Jets American League East zuki I've even lost the handlebars a couple of times, but caught them in time to wobble on without falling." Gill says the most impodant item is not which wheel you land on, but how straighl you keep the bike in the air.

The physical pounding is fierce, says Gill, who made his first jump over five cars in August 1970. "It's hard on the Insides when you hit. I wear a special reinforced kidney belt, with straps crisscrossing my stomach, but I've hit so hard it popped the straps. When you first make impact you stop, but your insides want to keep going." Payoffs range from $1,200 to $7,500 a performance, depending on the size of the crowd. Most work on a small guarantee against a percentage of the gate.

It isn't big money, considering the risks, but each lea-per has in the back of his mind the Knievel's fee for one jump in the Houston Astrodome: $60,000. It has been said that he has a broken bone for every dollar. Is that what keeps the fans coming out? Davis says maybe yes, and maybe no. "I don't think they want to see us crash," he analyzed, "but if we do, they don't want to miss it." ITU 15 Rain Pushes Cleveland Open Back jyauunai League East g.b.! w. I.

The canyon leap has been oft-postponed and oft-moved, perhaps because every time it's been scheduled Evel has cracked up.

Now it's being advertised for July 4, 1973, over the Shake Canyon, near Twin Falls, Ida. He's delayed so long a competitor already has hurdled a canyon on a two-sheeled vehicle. Bob Gill, a 26-year-old former racer from St. Petersburg, did it on the backwaters of the Mississippi River, near New Orleans, last April 16, when he made it across a 120-foot gorge. It has been named Bob Gill Cajun Canyon.

Knievel jumped over 19 Dodge Colts before the 1971 Miller High Life 500 and the Davis-BIackwell team upped the Ontario record to 21 this year. One thing all seem to have in common is an uncommon recovery factor. Knievel's hospital chart has as many items as a telephone book. Yet no injury seems to deter him. Last March, he fell while trying to jump 13 cars in Detroit and broke a collarbone.

Two months later he broke his back and smashed the knuckles of both hands while practicing for a jump in Atlanta. The next night he was lifted from a stretcher and placed on his Harley and twice wheeled the length of the straightaway. Fitted with a back brace, Evel flew his own plane to Oklahoma City the following day and that night performed a 7-car jump for 12,000 fans. Blackwell and Davis jump from opposite sides of the ramp, passing in the air. "Both of our approaches are exactly the same distance and we must hit the ramp at precisely 88 m.p.h." said Davis.

'The ramp is 40 feet long and 7 feet high, so when we're in the air we must watch each other and the down ramp at the same time. When we hit the opposite ramps, we listen for the crowd. We can tell from the crowd reaction if the other is OK." The impact at the end of the jump is the danger point. After Knievel's 150-foot leap over the fountains at Caesars Palace in 1969, his bike hit with such force it wrenched the handlebars from his hands and Evel bounced 60 yards across the cement walk and crashed into a brick wall. He broke his hip, pelvis, several ribs and suffered a brain concussion.

"The ideal way to land is on the rear wheel, with the bike at about a 45-degree angle," said Gill, who has an engineer compute the speed and tra-j 1 0 needed for every jump. "That way you have two distinct impacts, but neither are as bad as landing on both wheels together. Part of the shock has already been absorbed when the front wheel slams down." Every embryo cyclist is taught that it's dynamite to land on the front wheel after a jump. It's the quickest way to go end-over-end over the front of the bike. "I've landed on the front wheel four times," said Gill, "and managed to ride it out every time.

Actually, from the heights I attain, if you land on the front wheel the bike is more stable.

The "longest motorcycle jump in the world," as Knie-vel's act was billed for more than 200 occasions, has been stretched from a modest 4 or 5 cars to the 21 jumped simultaneously in opposite directions by Gary Davis and Rex Blackwell last March at Ontario Motor Speedway. As the distances began to peril even the bravest, the age of gimmickry set in.

Knievel set the style there, too. Since 1966 he's been talking of jumping into the Grand Canyon on a jet-powered cycle with parachute. His running feud with the Department of Interior, which first granted permission and then withdrew it, made Knievel a household name and launced a motion picture career with Evel playing himself and George faced Britain's Tideway Scullers in today's semifinals. The Irishman is Sean Drea of Philadelphia's Vesper B.C., who sensationally upset seeded Russian Vitautas Butkus Thursday in the Diamonds thanks to the expert coaching of former women's world champion Anna Tamas of Romania. The United States also has Kent School of Hartford, through to the semifinals of the Princess Elizabeth Cup, an event the American schoolboys won in 1970; Harvard defending its Thames Cup trophy; and Dietz, partnered by club mate Larry Klecatsky, through to the final of the Double Sculls.

Dietz and Klecatsky beat David Miller and Bob Grubb by eight lengths in their doubles Thursday and found withdrawals left them a clear path to Saturday's final. Harvard, despite sending an inexperienced crew, had an easy task disposing of St. Thomas' Hospital, London, by three lengths to reach today's quarter-final against Quintin B.C. Kent beat title-holder Pan-gbourne College by V2 lengths to set up a clash with the only English crew left in the event, King's School of Worcester. Canadian crews Brentwood College School and Ridley College, American schoolboy champs, dispute the other semifinal.

Dietz, who lost in last year's final to world champion Alberto Demiddi of Argentina, was drawn against crack Russian Alex Timoschinin while Drea, a student at Temple University, Philadelphia, took on Britain's last hope, Ken Dwan. It was Timoschinin who inflicted the only U.S. defeat of Thursday's program when he beat Klecatsky by five lengths. Klecatsky has about 100 victories to his credit against fellow "lightweights" over the past three years but at 150 pounds just did not have the power of the 212 pound Russian. PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Chris Short, veteran Philadelphia Phillies lefthander, was admitted to Temple Hospital Thursday after complaining of pain in his lower back.

WITH COUPON $Q88 FIRESTONE STORE 330 HURON PH 985-61 39 aaaooo By SHAVE GLICK Gannett News Service Special LOS ANGELES Leaping a motorcycle over a row of automobiles is becoming- the newest American thrill phenomenon, succeeding such stunts as wing walking, going over Niagara Falls in a barrel or being shot out of a cannon.

Leaping motorcycles, however, has an added danger a seeming compulsion to try to hurtle farther every time, putting the jumper one up on his competition. Evel Knievel, the godfather of the flying cycle set, established the style when he came out of Butte, Mont, with the claim of having jumped over a box of 100 rattlesnakes. Since that bizarre beginning, Evel and his followers have prosper thanks to bravery, Second-and third-place winners also exceeded the 1969 record. Tied for second place were Morris A. Shaw of Well-man, Iowa and Jerry Hansen of Indianapolis, both scoring 1,184.

In third place was Calvin Werdebaugh of Phoenix, scoring 1,182. Second-and third-place winners in the women's division were Linda Martn of Des-Moines, Iowa, 1,160 and Jody Hansen of Indianapolis, 1,154. The participants shared $15,000 in prize money. REGATTA RENEGADE HENLEY, England (UPI)-As if it wasn't tough enough for the locals, an Englishman, an Irishman and a Romanian are helping American bids for success at the 133rd Henley Royal Regatta.

Rostine's teammate, Jim Tremp, collected two hits and drove in three runs. Steve Gahns had two hits for Proto Club. Larry Gamble ripped four hits to lead Moore's Gulf to a 10-6 win over the Road Commission team. Dale Sweeney and Tim Reckker had three hits each for Moore's, with one of Reck-ker's going for a home run. Rusty Keeler, Rick Turner, Tom Kriston, Rick Ichenberg and Rich Owen stroked two hits apiece for Road Commission.

(AP) Jim Ryun, the allergy-prone former Kansas star, continued his comeback Thursday night with an impressive 1:48.7 clocking in his heat of the 800-meter run at the U.S. mens Olympic Track and Field Trials. Ryun, world record holder in the mile and half mile, lived in Eugene part of last year but left because he was allergic to the heavy grass seed pollen in Oregon's Willamette Valley.

He won his heat of the 800 in Thursday's quarterfinals and said later he wasn't bothered by sinus trouble. Ryun, running for Club West, said he definitely intends to run both the 800 and the 1500 meters in Munich if he qualifies in both events during the 10-day trials. Mark Winzenried, also of Ciub West, was one of two major casualties in the 800. He ran a nonqualifying fifth in Ryun's heat. NCAA champion Willie Thomas of Tennessee finished last in the slowest of the four heats in 1:52.9.

He was among a number of athletes who said they were affected by the humid 80 degree plus heat. Sixteen runners advanced into tonight's semifinals, including Bowling Green's Dave Wottle, the AAU champion and Tom Von Ruden of the Pacific Coast Club. They were timed in 1:49.8 and 1:49.6, respectively. There almost was a casualty in the steeplechase. Mike Manley of the Oregon Track Club, considered a leading candidate for the U.S.

team, slipped and fell on the first water barrier and was last after four laps. The 3 0-y a r-old Eugene school teacher bounced back with a winning time of 8:34.8, his best of the year. The 12 steeplechase finalists also will include Bob Richards of the Air Force and James Dare, the AAU champion from the Navy, who shared the top time of 8:38.6 in first heat. ARCHERS SET MARK GRAYLING, Mich. (AP) Victor Berger and the three other top scorers in the men's division all broke records Thursday during the final round of the Professional Archery Association's 10th annual tournament.

Berger, from Springfield, Ohio, scored 1,190 out of a possible 1,200 points for the four-day event, exceeding the all-time high of 1,181 set by George Claus of Sagnaw in 1969. In the women's division, Ann Bulz, of Suffern, N.Y., broke her own record by shooting a total of 1,175 in the four-day tournament. She is the second woman in the association to have won the tournament three times. CLEVELAND (AP) Bobby Mitchell, the invisible man of the touring golf pros, feels slightly more visible this year in the $150,000 Cleveland Open at soggy Tanglewood Country He's the defending champion and a favorite with the fans. Still, his fellow pros won't let him forget the fame he acquired earlier this year after he knocked off Jack Nicklaus to take the Tournament of Champions at La Costa, Calif.

He had beaten Nicklaus, but remained the golfer no one knows. After the first round of the Cleveland Open was washed out by torrentia' rain Thursday, Mike Higgins of Houston called across the practice green: "It doesn't matter, Bobby. You're the invisible man." Mitchell grinned and sank a curling eight-footer. He looked at the putter admiringly. "Nicklaus knows him," consoled Leonard Thompson of Myrtle Beach, S.C.

a freshman on the tour and owner of the putter Mitchell was using. Mitchell looked off over the wooded hills of Tanglewood where the valleys and greens held just a little less water than a flood. "This course can't stand much more water," he said. "I got in five holes before they called it." Mitchell had gotten in his five holes by 10:54 a.m. EDT when the rain struck.

Play was suspended and the opening round of the 72-hole tourney postponed until today. An hour later he sun broke out and began baking out some of the moisture. After some argument the officials decided to play 18-hole rounds today, Saturday, Sunday and Monday over the par Summer Basketball Pistons 53, Fogcuttcr 48 John Schauerman 14; Don Zulauf 16, Bill Friedsberg 13.
