SHOP Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press, July 4, 1972 9-A Pot Is Boosted; Fischer to Play REYKJAVIK, Iceland (P) Bobby Fischer was reported ready Monday night to meet Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky for the world chess championship and a prize pot sweetened by $130,000 from a London banker. Paul Marshall, a lawyer in New for Fischer, said It he 29-year-old American challenger had accepted banker James D. Slater's offer of the extra prize money and would be in Reykjavik by the Tuesday noon deadline. Earlier Monday, the sponsors of the championship match turned down Fischer's bid for a cut of the gate receipts in addition to the prize money pre: viously agreed on. Marshall quoted Fischer as saying of Slater's proposal: "I gotta accept it.

It's a stupendous offer." He said Fischer considered the gesture "incredible and generous and brave." Slater said in London he received confirmation of Fischer's acceptance by telephone and had been told challenger planned to fly to Reykjavik. Due at Noon Fischer must arrive i in Reykjavik by noon Tuesday 8 a.m. EDT or forfeit his chance at Spassky and the title. The first game is to begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday 1 p.m.

EDT postponed from the same time Sunday at Fischer's request. The Russians, from Spassky here in Iceland to the Soviet Chess Federation in Moscow, protested the fact that the World Chess Federation FIDE granted a postponement of Fischer's appearance. When Slater offered to put up his own money as an extra inducement to the American grandmaster, he stated: "Fischer has said that money is the problem. Here it is. What I am saying to Fischer now is 'come out 'and Marshall claimed that the issue with Fischer never I had been money.

"It was the principle," Marshall said. felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they deserved. And he was furious about the press censorship. He was flying around the room." Marshall said Fischer told him: "They're trying to stop America from reading about it! That's what they've done all The sponsors announced restrictions in move-by-move and photo coverage of the 24-game match because the rights had been sold. Could Last Months Slater made his offer after the Icelandic Chess Federation's board rejected Fischer's demands for 30 per cent of the gate recipts.

This would have amounted to con- Children to Get Free Health Tests Some 1,400 children under the age of six will get free physical examinations at the Lee County Health Department beginning next Tuesday. According to Mrs. Bessie Fowler, nursing director at the health department, the physicals are being given in compliance with federal regulations to children of families receiving Medicaid. Mrs. Fowler said she expected the examinations to be given throughout the coming year and "worked in with all of our regular programs.

This is a screening program and does not involve any treatment or medical care." The children are all from Lee County. Man Jailed Here In Kidnap of Dog Willie James Lee, 50, of Franklin Street, is in the Lee County jail charged with grand larceny of a dog, and "Blue," the blue-tick hound dog Lee allegedly dognaped is home with his owner, Ray F. King near Olga. Lee was arrested at the Sheriff Department after investigators called him in for questioning. Blue had been missing since June 19.

The dog was valued at $125. 1 Investigators said they picked the dog up at Lee's home after the arrest. The balloon flight record of duration of 69 hours, 20 minutes, i is held by the Soviet siderable sums for both Fischer and Spassky because the match could last as long as two months. The original terms call for the winner to receive $78,125 and the loser $46,875, plus 30 per cent for each of the income from sale of television and photographic rights. Slater's private enrichment of the pot could be used to up the winner's price to $156,000, with the remainder of his funds going to boost the loser's share.

He said another alternative would be to add the entire $130,000 or $50,000 pounds to the winner's cut for a total of $208,125. The London investment banker said he made his offer through Dr. Max Euwe, president of FIDE, explaining: "I like chess and have played it for years. Many want to see this match if Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disap- OUR STRENGTH IS THAT CRACK IN THE LIBERTY BELL When our 1776, they it cracked. the great forefathers declared independence in rang the bell so fervently that eventually It's enshrined in Philadelphia as one of symbols of our freedom.
