LANGFORD DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (UPI)--The three kings of stock car racing were hanging on the high-banked turns as close as sausage links, the crowd roaring its approval of the tightest race anyone could remember. Then curly-haired David Pearson found his chance on a back strelch to get around Richard Petty, throwing a gesture to the Plymouth pilot on his way around. Petty chased Pearson to the finish line with his front bumper alongside the winner's rear fender. Bobby Allison came in a few feet behind.

"I can't remember when Ihere was one that close," said Pearson in the winner's circle Tuesday at Daytona International Speedway. And Petty, suffering heat exhaustion at the end of the Firecracker 400 on Independence Day, had no alibis. "He just waited too long before he tried to pass me," Pearson said. Pearson averaged 160.821 miles per hour in winning his fourth speedway race this year on the 2.5-mile Daytona track. For three-fourths of the way the Firecracker had hummed along with no accidents and no caution flags, although defending champion and pole-sitter Bobby Isaac blew a valve after 220 miles and Pete Hamilton, the only other serious contender, went behind the wall with an overheated engine.

Then with 47 laps to go, the three-way chase developed. Pearson, substituting for injured A. J. Foyt at the wheel of the Woods Brothers Mercury, was content to follow the Petty and Allison cars until the race came down to the wire. "I was laying back a little bit.

You're always trying to figure out how to outsmart the other guy," he said. "But on the last five laps I was running it flat footed." Pearson particularly enjoyed beating Petty. "He's the toughest there is," he said.

Facing the tantalizing newcomer from Fort Lauderdale, for the first time, Evonne can't shrug off her gentle and casual approach that entrances the fans wherever she plays.

The balance comes from privately held bullion, coins, jewelry, artifacts --and recovery from secondary sources, A spokesman for the Monticello Raceway says the State Off- track Betting Commission has rejected a protest aimed at preventing the New York City Off- Track Betting Corp. from taking bets on Monti cello races. In a statement Monday, the track spokesman said Commission Chairman Kent Brown had dismissed arguments by Roosevelt Raceway that the OTB bets on the races at Monticello were hurting Roosevelt's handle. Brown could not be reached for comment.

Monticello President Greenberg said Brown's three- page letter noted differences between the two tracks, which are more than 100 miles apart. "If New York City OTB did not offer Monticello," Brown wrote, "it is just as likely that its patrons now betting on races at that track would, in some measure at least, find other means of doing so; i.e., through bookies, or refrain from betting altogether." Brown noted the OTB wagering on Roosevelt was higher in June, when Monticello was also operating, than earlier months when it was not. The OTB parlors take in an average of $700,000 a day on Roosevelt, Brown said, and $90,000 on Monticello. Motoring Pioneer Succumbs At 99 SPRINGVILLE.N.Y.

Patterson The Loser HOUSTON (UPI)--A $55,000 judgment against heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson has been granted by a U.S.

district judge in favor of a boxing promoter and a fight manager, their attorney said today. Perry Pane of Beaumont, former manager of light heavyweight contender Mark Tessman, received $20,000 of the award, and Lee Coleman, president of the now-defunct Allstar Boxing Club, received $30,000. Ted Mustek, their attorney, got the other $5,000. Musick executed the judgment in court today. He said he will attach Patterson's purse in his July 14 fight against Pedro Agosto in New York City and, if necessary, will attach his purse in his fight with Muhammad Ali in Madison Square Garden Aug.

28. Patterson was sued for $380,000 in December 1970 for failing to honor three dates he made to fight Tessman in Houston. Patterson said the first two postponements were due to hand injuries and he refused to come the third time, inviting the promoter to sue him, according to Payne. After the three postponements, Tessman fought Bob Foster for the light heavyweight championship in June, getting knocked out in the 12th round. Tessman blamed his inactivity due to the postponements for the loss.

Tessman was a party to the original suit, but dropped out and was not awarded any damages. Judge Allen B. Hannay returned a default judgment against Patterson in April when he failed to appear to contest the suit. him." Petty, too, enjoyed the dogfight. "It was awfully tight--like two inches apart--through the last 18 to 20 laps," Petty said.

"It would get tense if you didn't know who you were running with. But Pearson and Allison are the best." Coo Coo Marlin finished three laps back in his Chevrolet to lake fourth place. James Hylton finished fifth in a Ford and LeeRoy Yarbrough, the 1969 Firecracker winner, was sixth in a Ford. Pearson pocketed $15,150 for the victory. Chess Tourney Stalled By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) --The Russians broke off their talks with representatives of American chess challenger Bobby Fischer today, throwing serious doubts on the possibility the twice-postponed match would ever be held.

"This is a very bad development and I am now very pessimistic about the match," said Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE). The reason for the breakup was not immediately disclosed but the representatives of Russian Boris Spassky, the reigning world chess champion, said they would explain later at a news conference. "The Russians said today they don't want any further talks with the Americans," Euwe said. The talks between representatives of Fischer and Spassky started Tuesday after Spassky triggered the second postponement of the scheduled 24-game series, saying Fischer had insulted him by not showing up for the pre-match ceremonies. He said he would not play until FIDE punished Fischer and Fischer personally apologized.

Officials hoped the match could start Thursday. Earlier, the official Soviet New Agency Tass criticized Fischer and said he and his backers planned to use a computer to try to win Spassky's title. The 24-game championship match was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year- old chess genius from Brooklyn, failed to turn up, mostly because he wanted more money than the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers. All appeared saved when a British millionaire banker--and chess fan--dug inlo his own pocket to offer another $125,000. Fischer was on the next plane to Reykjavik and arrived Tuesday morning, where he quickly left the airport not to be seen since.

Came the draw Tuesday to see who would play white for the first game and Fischer was asleep. So he sent his second, while Spassky was there in person. The world champion, 35, apparently decided he had had enough of Fischer's antics and issued a statement that said: "Fischer broke the rules of holding the contest by refusing to come for the ceremony of opening the match. By this, Fischer insulted me, personally, and the Chess Federation of the U.S.S.R., which I represent."
