And today McLain also is back in the Major Leagues.

"I am happy as hell. It's super," said McLain Thursday when informed that the Oakland A's of the American League, which sent the pitcher to the minors five weeks ago, had traded him to the Atlanta Braves of the National League. "I hear they (Atlanta) need pitchers," he said from Birmingham. "And if that's what they need, I'll do it for them. All I want is a fair shot at the big league again." The deal also sent Orlando Cepeda, a $95,000 a year first baseman for the Braves, to Oakland for an undisclosed amount of cash and the right to purchase McClain.

McLain, a 31-game winner in 1968 for the Detroit Tigers, had early season problems at Oakland and, with a 1-2 record and a 6.05 earned run average, was sent to Birmingham of the League's MVP award in 1967, walked out on the Braves two poise on the mound.

With a 3-5 record in Detroit in 1970, he was traded to Washington, where he posted a 10-22 chart last year. In March, he was traded to Oakland, and last month he was shipped to the minors.

After being bombed for 16 runs in his first two Southern League starts, he settled down to win three games. Stoffel won four of seven decisions.

The Russians are the ones Some place at least where who picked Reykjavik. By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (UPI)-The more Bobby Fischer thinks afbout it, the more it bugs him. Why Reykjavik, Iceland? Fischer thinks the Russians there's something to do at night." Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going to do it. In his own way, Fisher 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 "Why not Fischer Bobby Fischer, America's 29- have a motive.

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 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 Continued on Page 22, Col.

1 Phantom Cutting Out All Football Action Pictures in Midwest jiinnwiLiiyii.mM'iiiwm urn" immmmmmmmmimmmmmimmmtmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmti Sxv 1 ft 4(Wc lia By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS College librarians in at least three states are baffled by the destructive antics of a mysterious character dubbed "Jock the Ripper," who this month carved football history out of the pages of yearbooks. Reports from librarians indicate the man, believed to be in his early 30s, hit nearly every college in North and South Dakota and several in Minnesota in his weird search for photographs of football action. Apparently wielding razor blades, the ripper left in his wake countless yearbooks with gaping holes cut out of the pages all football action shots, some dating back 60 years. Described as a heavy-set man, poorly dressed and wearing a crew-cut hair style, he also ravaged the back pages of several newspapers in North and South Dakota. A notebook left behind at the Yankton Daily Press, Yankton, S.D., indicated "Jock" may have hit colleges throughout Minnesota and perhaps in Wisconsin as well.
