Reds Triumph, Astros Do Same Pearson Edges 2 Others For Firecracker 400 Win i IT other serious contender, was sidelined after 140 miles when his Plymouth began overheating. Pulling into victory lane after the race, Pearson yelled to his pit crew: "Now that's the breaks." He said Petty pulled alongside him after they crossed the finish line to congratulate him. Pearson earned $15,150 for the victory. He said he got a particular thrill out of beating Petty. "He's the toughest there is.

I like to run with him. He's a good driver. He surprised me because I think he goofed up. He just waited too long before he tried to pass me." Petty, however, said Pearson had the fastest car all day. "He was two car-lengths faster than me down the straights but I had him in the corners.

That's the only way I could stay in the race." Coo Coo Marlin finished three laps back in his Chevrolet to capture fourth place. James Hylton was fifth in a Ford and Leeroy Yarbrough, the 1969 Firecracker winner, was sixth in a Ford. "Richard was running a little bit stronger than I was up the straightaway. I was kind of tickled when he didn't pass because I didn't think he could get by me from the fourth turn to the finish line. MI can't remember when there's been a finish that close," said Pearson.

"We just got beat," said Petty, who was treated for heat exhaustion after the race. "There's no particular reason for it." Allison said he thought ty had the power to get by Pearson on the final lap. "I was going to draft Petty around David, but it just never happened," said Allison. Pearson, who started on the outside front row, swapped the lead with Buddy Baker in the opening laps. Pole-sitter Bobby Isaac was never in contention in his Dodge.

Isaac, the defending champion, was forced out after 220 miles with a broken valve in his Dodge. Baker, while running in second place, fell out after 270 miles with a broken i 1 cooler in his Dodge. Pete Hamilton, the only By Walt Smith DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (UPI) David Pearson outfoxed Richard Petty and by Allison in a three-way duel Tuesday to win the Firecracker 400 stock car race by a scant three-feet in his Wood Brothers Mercury. Pearson, filling in for the injured A.

J. Foyt, grabbed the lead with 15 miles left and blocked repeated efforts by Petty and Allison to overtake him in the scary dash to the finish line. Petty grabbed second place in his Dodge with Allison's Chevrolet sticking close to his bumper for third place. Pearson, winning his fourth r-speedway race this year, averaged 160.821 miles per hour in the accident-free race, which was slowed only twice for 16 laps by caution flags. There were 23 lead changes involving six drivers.

The 37-year-old Pearson, who won the Firecracker when it was a 250-mile race in 1961, said he was surprised Petty was not able to pass him on the long back stretch on the final lap. t)0 pCfes f-1 Sp Page 10 Wednesday, July 5, 1972 The Palladium-Item Richmond, Indiana CINCINNATI (UPI) Pete Rose's bases-loaded double highlighted a five-run second inning which carried the Cincinnati Reds and Ross Grimsley to a 6-1 victory and ended the St. Louis Cardinals winning streak at seven games Tuesday. The victim of Rose's three-run double was Scipio Spinks, rho was tagged with his fifth loss against five victories. Spinks, who retired with a wrenched right knee after sliding into home plate in the third inning, gave up three hits and walked four during the two innings he pitched.

The Reds added their sixth run in the third inning when Tony Perez doubled and later scored on Denis Menke's sacrifice fly. Grimsley, going the route for the second time this season, picked up his sixth victory in eight decisions and lost his shutout when Spinks singled in the third inning and came home on a double by Luis Melendez. Melendez's double was one of nine hits yielded by Grimsley, who walked two and struck out two.

Regatta Regatta officials, who estimate a loss anywhere from a minimal several hundred dollars to around $11,000 on the race, were nearly tearing their hair out in frustration as problem after problem popped up throughout the last week and into the final day of the race. The final, ironic blow came when the fourth heat was held up nearly 20 minutes as the riverboat Delta Queen chugged through the race course with calliope blaring and people cheering en route to Cincinnati.

The thunderboat fleet now heads for Washington, D.C., for Sunday's Washington Regatta on the Potomac River. The stage is set, but the players are missing. Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky were to use these chairs and the table for their world championship chess match scheduled to begin Sunday in Reykjavik, Iceland's Laugardalsholl Hall, but first Fischer was late, and secondly Spassky walked out. Maybe they'll start play Thursday. (AP Wirephoto) NEW YORK (UPI) Tom Seaver pitched the fourth one-hitter of his career, allowing only a one-out ninth inning single to Leron Lee as New York won the opener 2-0, but San Diego's Derrell Thomas drove in the tie-breaking run in the ninth inning of the nightcap to give the Padres a split of the Independence Day doubleheader with a 4-2 victory.

Seaver, who has pitched one-hitters in each of the previous three seasons, had allowed the Padres only four walks until Lee's clean single to centerfield. Nate Colbert then grounded into a game-ending double play to give Seaver his 11th win against four defeats this year and upped his lifetime record against San Diego to 11-1. The Padres didn't get a ball to the outfield until Lee flied deep to Willie Mays in centerfield to lead off the seventh inning. The only Padre scoring threats came in the fourth and eighth innings when Seaver walked two batters with two out in each frame. Seaver struck out Clarence Gaston to end the fourth and got Thomas to fly out and end the eighth.

placed him. Sterett retired from competitive driving after the 1969 season, but helped his son Terry shake down the boats he drove. A problem starting his engine in the first heat wound up costing the elder Sterett $100. He was fined by the American Power Boat Association for starting his engine after the one-minute warning gun was fired. The white-haired Sterett came back to win his second preliminary heat, coming from last in the second lap and winning going away.

One of the boats he beat was driven by 27-year-old Terry Sterett. who finished third. The father and son are from Owensboro, Ky. Muncey won his first heat in an average speed of 101.867 miles per hour, the fastest of the day for a six-lap trip Seaver finished with 11 strikeouts and has now fanned 10 or more batters in one game three times this season and 38 times in his six-year major league career. Seaver, who was seeking to become the first Met pitcher in the club's 11-year history to hurl a no-hitter, had thrown one-hitters against Chicago in 1969, Philadelphia in 1970 and Pittsburgh in 1971.

The Mets scored both their runs in the third inning thanks to a streak of wildness by San Diego starter Clay Kirby. Bud Harrelson singled with two out and Kirby proceeded to walk the next four batters before being relieved gy Gary Ross. The walk to Jim Fregosi which forced in the first run was hotly disputed by the Padres and led to the ejection of manager Don Zimmer. Thomas, recalled only a few days ago from the Padres' farm club in Hawaii, singled home John Jeter to snap a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning of the nightcap. Fred Kendall also scored on the play when right-fielder John Milner allowed him.

Third place went to the Atlas Van Lines second boat, Go Gale, with Miss Timex fourth and Pizza Pete fifth. Pay Pak, Towne Club and Country Boy did not place. Muncey, who won $8,500 for finishing first, has rolled up 4,700 points toward the national championship.

Pay 'N Pak remained in second place with 3,725 points. Miss Budweiser jumped past Pizza Pete into third place by 47 points. Miss Bud has 2,544. For Atlas Van Lines owner Lee Schoenith it was his first Madison victory since his Mary's Special won in 1969. his exile in the minor leagues.

But the real problem was the drifting debris in the river, which could have caused the fiberglass-bodied boats to explode or sink. The debris was caused by recent heavy rains well upriver from Madison in the southeast corner of Indiana. Swollen river conditions and the debris had forced cancellation of two days of qualifying runs Sunday and Monday. Rain fell again Tuesday, delaying the preliminary heats and forcing cancellation of a scheduled consolation race before the championship heat. The Last Straw The final cancellation was merely the topping for regatta officials, who had moved the event back from its original July 2 date because of high water.

Bill Schumacher, Seattle, who had driven Pride of Pay 'N Pak to three straight second place finishes, refused to drive here. He said conditions on the river were too dangerous because of the debris.

The Russian titleholder launched his counterattack Tuesday with a stern protest, some sharp criticism, a walkout and a demand for a two-day postponement of the start of the match with American Bobby Fischer. Fischer slept through it all. He had arrived in the morning from New York and went straight to bed to rest up for the first game, set for 5 p.m. When Fischer woke up he found that the title series was put off until Thursday at the earliest. It was to have begun last Sunday.

Summing up the day, Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said: "When Spassky is here, Fischer doesn't come, as soon as Fischer comes, Spassky runs away." The Russians turned up in force at noon for what was to be a drawing of lots to decide who would play white, and have the first move, in the opener. Soviet Protest They refused to draw with Fischer's second, a Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. William Lombardy, and read a statement calling Fischer's delaying holdout intolerable. They protested Euwe's decision to tolerate it. When Fischer failed to appear Sunday as he should have, Euwe allowed him until noon Tuesday to show up in Reykjavik or forfeit his shot at Spassky.

Fischer's refusal to come by Sunday was based on a dispute with the organizers over money. The argument was settled Monday when British financier James Slater offered to sweeten an already record pot with a donation of 50,000 British pound about $130,000. Fischer said he would play. The Russians said Tuesday that Fischer had violated the rules of the match. They wanted an apology.

Edmondson, director of the U.S. Chess Feder-ation, said if Fischer or Spassky fails to show up for Thursday's match the title should go to the other by default. He said that if neither showed up, "the title should be declared vacant and they should start all over."

It did not specify what sort of measures should be taken. Picture Of Courtesy During the days of dispute and bad temper which preceded Fischer's arrival, Spassky had been the picture of courtesy and understanding.

When approached by newsmen he had no bad words for Fischer, a man he respects as a chess player. All he would say was that "I came to play." Asked what Fischer's opinion of the new dispute was, Euwe told newsmen, "Mr. Fischer is asleep and is not aware of this." MADISON, Ind. (AP) Bill Muncey won the $30,000 world championship Madison Regatta here Tuesday when it came to abrupt end in a fitting conclusion to a troubled event. Muncey, 44, from Seattle, drove the Atlas Van Lines I unlimited hydroplane to easy victories in both of his preliminary heats.

The two-heat victories gave the veteran driver 800 points, enough to win the 22nd Indiana Governor's Cup when race officials decided there was too much debris in the Ohio River to run the championship heat. Young Terry Sterett was second in defending national champion Miss Budweiser with a first and a third for 625 points. 4 Out Of 4 It was the fourth victor in as many events this season and the 31st career triumph for Muncey. The race was in peril of postponement right up to the start of the first preliminary heat nearly 2y2 hours after the scheduled noon (EST) starting time. Rain fell sporadically most cf the day, making things very uncomfortable for an estimated 50,000 chilled spectators lining both sides of the Ohio.
