Elks Club 10 minutes after the first game is completed. By United Press International Mickey Lolich, the major leagues' first 15-game winner of the current season, shrugs off suggestions that he may wind up in the 30-victory class. "Mathematically, it's possible," said the pot-bellied Detroit Tiger left-hander after beating the Kansas City Royals, 6-4, Thursday night and raising his record to 15-6. "But physically, it isn't." Lolich, a 25-game winner in 1971 when he led the Americean League in eight pitching classifications, pointed out that he can expect "only" 18 or 19 more starting assignments this season. "It's not enough," Lolich said.

"It's unrealistic to figure that any pitcher will go 15-3 or 15-4 for a half season." The Minnesota Twins routed the Boston Red Sox, 10-0, and the Texas Rangers defeated the Cleveland Indians, 5-0, in the other AL games. The Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-0, the St. Louis Cardinals downed the Atlanta Braves, 2-0, and the Houston Astros scored a 7-2 triumph over' the Chicago Cubs in National League games. The Tigers staked Lolich to a 5-0 lead (Baseball report 1 when they sent 10 batters to the plate in the first inning and Mickey protected the shutout until the eighth when the Royals scored a run on Richie Scheinblum's single, Lou Piniella's double and a fielder's choice. Ninth-inning homers by Amos Otis and Scheinblum produced the final three Kansas City runs.

The key hits of Detroit's big first inning were singles by Eddie Brinkman and Willie Horton and a double by Ike Brown. Rich Reese's three-run homer highlighted a four-run fourth-inning outburst which gave the Twins an 8-0 lead and Ray Corbin breezed behind the big margin to a six-hitter and his second victory. Ray Culp took the loss. The Rangers scored four runs in the first inning with the help of Hal King's two-run windblown double and Rich Hand pitched a six-hitter for his seventh victory. Milt Wilcox was the loser.

GMO brings out best in 'rabbits' Gary Nolan and Clay Carroll combined to shut out the Pirates with Nolan raising his record to 13-2. He struck out seven and walked one before bowing out for a pinch- hitter after eight innings. Cesar Geronimo's homer gave the Reds their first run in the fifth and they added their other run in the eighth when Pete Rose doubled and eventually scored on Bobby Tolan's sacrifice fly. Reggie Cleveland pitched a two-hitter for his seventh victory, raising his record to ll-4 for the Cardinals. Cleveland singled in the Cardinals' second run in the seventh after Matty Alou's double, a single by Ted Simmons and an infield out produced St.

Louis' first run in the fourth. Ron Reed suffered his 10th loss against seven wins. Tommy Helms' tie-breaking three-run homer and a two-run homer by Norm Miller in the ninth inning enabled the Astros to tag 11-game winner Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs with his eighth defeat. Jim Ray, who took over for Jerry Reuss in the seventh, received credit for his ninth win against three losses. MILWAUKEE, Wis.

(UPD- There's something about the Greater Milwaukee Open golf tournament that brings out the best in the "rabbits." The "rabbits" are those pros who, for one reason or another, have to play an extra round on Monday to qualify for the big money tournaments and, in past years, they've often gone away with a good share of the loot put up by GMO sponsors. It looks like this year will be no exception as two of the nonexempt players went into today's second round tied for the lead with two veterans. Bruce Fleisher, who's been on the PGA tour less than a year; Tom Ulozas, who's been going for only a few months longer and veterans George Johnson and Labron Harris all fired 6-under-par rounds of 65 in Thursday's first round. One stroke back were veteran Jim Colbert and another rabbit Bob Dickson and Bruce Crampton, the top- ranking pro centered in the meet, led a group of nine other pros at 67. Par took a beating on the 6,514 yard Tripoli Golf Club course and it appeared that it would take a two-day sub-par total to make the cut to low 70 and ties tonight.

A total of 68 golfers bettered par Thursday and 19 more equalled it in the field of 147. Fleisher used a borrowed putter to fire his best competitive round as a pro. He had taken his own putter to his hotel Forfeits 2nd game Bobby Fischer stays in bed to practice on the rug and when he left at 6 a.m. for an early tee time left it behind. "Jack Ewing (a fellow pro) was good enough to let me borrow one of his Fleisher said.

"I rolled the ball good early and it gave me confidence." Fleisher's best finish as a pro has been 33rd in the Bob Hope and Cleveland tourneys and he finished 53rd last week in Canada. Ulozas, whose best finishes have come in satellite tournaments, needed only 28 putts, rescuing himself three times after hitting into the woods. His round included eight birdies-- most of anyone in the first round--but he also had two bogies. Johnson came close to having the most spectacular round of the day, getting an eagle on the 486-yard llth hole and then nearly getting a hole in one on the 12th. His tee shot hit a 172-year hold went into the cup and backed up, sitting just six inches away.

Harris also eagled the llth and added four birds. His eagle came on a chip shot from 40 feet out and one of his birds came on a spectacular 55-foot putt. Seigfried gets college job BOSTON (UPD-Larry Siegfried, who played on a national championship team at Ohio State and with five NBA champions with the Boston Celtics, Thursday was named the head basketball coach at North Adams State College. Siegfried played with Boston from 196364 until he was picked up by the San Diego Rockets in the 1970 expansion draft. He was traded to Atlanta last December and retired in January.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPD --Bobby Fischer stayed in bed, so once again the world chess championship was in doubt. The 29-year-old American challenger failed to show for his second game against titleholder Boris Spassky of Russia to protest television cameras in the hall where they are playing. Referee Lothar Schmid awarded the game to Spassky. Patterson heavily favored NEW YORK (UPD-Former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson is a heavy favorite tonight to continue along his long and often lonely road toward another shot at the title when he meets Pedro Agosto of Puerto Rico in a 12-round bout in the relative privacy of the Singer Bowl. Although Patterson has been one of the greatest drawing cards in Madison Square Garden history, tonight's bout will take place in a small stadium on the grounds of the old New York World's Fair.

The risk Patterson is running also seems greater than the possible benefits of a victory because a loss or even a poor showing could endanger his scheduled bout with Muhammad Ali in the Garden on Aug. 28. Patterson has been itching for a return bout with Ali since Ali stopped him in 12 rounds in Las Vegas, Nev in 1965. Patterson, the only man in boxing history to hold the world heavyweight title twice, has a 55-7 professional record including a recent victory over rugged Oscar Bonavcna of Argentina. Agosto, who turned professional in 1966, has 18 victories, Including 14 kayocs, in 22 pro bouts, i putting the Russian ahead two games to zero.

Fischer challenged Schmid's ruling and the matter went to a committee today made up of Schmid, his deputy, representatives for the two players and the organizers. There appeared to be little chance the committee would reverse the ruling. The big question remained one that has haunted the championship almost from the beginning: Would Fischer walk out? Icelandic grandmaster Fridrik Olaf- sson, an old friend of Fischer, managed to get into the suite of rooms where the challenger is staying in a downtown hotel. "He talked to me about anything else but the match," Olafsson said. "He lost interest in it six months ago." Fischer dropped the first of the possible 24 games to Spassky, who needs 12 points--a win counts one point, a draw one-half point-to retain his title.

Time for the second game came and went Thursday and Fischer did not arrive. Aides said he stayed in bed to protest the television cameras. At the appointed time. 5 p.m., Spassky was in the hall. Promptly at 5, Schmid started the time clock.

There were 60 minutes of hushed silence i everybody waited for Fischer. Andrew Davis, one of Fischer's lawyers in New York, put through a call at 5:30 p.m. --when there was still 30 minutes till Fischer's deadline -to Richard C. Stein, lawyer for the owner of the TV and film rights and asked Stein to remove all cameras for Thursday's game and give Davis time to fly to Iceland and discuss the matter in detail. Stein said he agreed and even made out a written agreement backstage in the hall.

Fischer was told via telephone that such an agreement existed, but the American did not respond, Stein said. Father William Lombardy, Fischer's official second and former world junior chess champion, met newsmen who tried to get into Fischer's hotel suite after the game and told them "the situation is very serious." 12 Friday, July 14,1972 Delta Democrat-Times Greenville, Mississippi By GORDON HARTLEY DD-T Outdoors Columnist LAKE LEE--Water level falling and this might make for good fishing this week-end. However I have had no report of good catches at this lake. LAKE FERGUSON--Water level also falling, but have had no report of good catches of any specie; even so, weekend could be productive. LAKE WASHINGTON--This lake has continued producing good catches of bream; crappie have been pretty slow.

LAKE BEULAH--Mrs. D. L. Jones at the Bolivar County Conservation League stated that there were very few fishermen on the lake Thursday and could not say for sure how the fish were biting. However, she did say that the crappie and bream had been biting pretty good.

The river has not been in this lake lately. Cedeno pulls muscle HOUSTON (UPI)-Cesar Cedeno, the Houston Astros' outfielder, has a pulled groin muscle and will not rejoin the team for the balance of the team's current road series.

Miss. They're turning back the clock a century to build a unique hospitality center at the ultra-modern new Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company plant in Memphis. And when the facility is launched sometime in July the state should have a major new tourist attraction. Schlitz has announced plans for a hospitality center at Memphis which will be an authentic Steamboat Gothic re-creation of the magnificent stermvheelers that plied the Mississippi River for pleasure and commerce following the Civil War.

In addition to being a replica of a sternwheeler the hospitality center will contain numerous museum-type pieces and rivcrhoat artifacts from the actual era it represents. Schlitz President and Board Chairman Robert A. Uihlein, Jr. said considerable research has gone into the facility and every effort is being made to create it in the actual imnge of the historical Mississippi sternwheeler. "Hospitality centers are traditional in our major breweries to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors who lour our plants each year," "Because of the Importance of our newest brewery In Memphis and because of (he stature of the community Itself as an industrial and economic hub of (he South, we want to create a really distinctive hospitality facility "We think the sternwheeler, which will )e given an an propriate name, will be a highly interesting tourist attraction in itself and will help preserve the romance and intrigue of the days when steamboat whistles reverberated alone the Mississippi," said Uihlein.

The entrance to the Schlitz hospitality center at Memphis will he in the form of a riverboal prow, with high twin stacks Visitors will "board" on a swing stage extending over a water filled moat. Inside appointments will include a 11-foot wide paddlewhccl turning slowly in a tank of water to provide th- sound of a sternwheeler under way. The $05 million Memphis brewery, which hegan production last January, is the ninth Schlitz plant in this country With 27 acres under one roof and with a production capacity of I I million barrels of beer a year.it ranks as one of the Inrecst new breweries ever built.
