Minnesota starter Dick Woodson, who had allowed just three hits before the seventh, was driven out of the game by Rick Auerbach's two-run single.

After reliefer Wayne Granger struck out pinch hitter Tommy Reynolds, Brock Davis slapped a run-scoring single. Former Twin Ron Clark bounced a single past third to start the ninth, and Lahoud came through with the winning hit.

Harmon Kill-ebrew walked, Charlie Manuel doubled and Bob Darwin, who had three of the Twins' nine hits, drove a run-scoring single. Lockwood left the game, and rookie Eric Soderholm greeted reliever Jim Colborn with a three-run homer.

MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL (AP) Joe Lahoud didn't dispute Manager Dell Crandall's order to ride the bench Tuesday night. The Twins might wish he had. Lahoud, who once hit three home runs in a game at Minnesota, clouted a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 5-4 victory after the Minnesota Twins had bolted to a 4-0 gap in the second. The 6-foot, 190-pound outfielder had been benched with a .193 batting average.

Linzy escaped a one-out, bases-loaded threat in the seventh when he forced Killebrew to ground into a double play, home to first. In the ninth, Auerbach leaped to rob Rod Carew of a hit with the potential winning run at second to end the game.

We intend to pursue every legal action to assume our acquisition of the team." Should the efforts of the Fishman group fail, the Bulls could be sold to a group including Arthur Wirtz, owner of the Stadium.

It has been reported that with the rejection of Fishman, approval is expected to be given to the Wirtz group, which has a 10-year lease at favorable rental terms ready for the Bulls. Meanwhile, the Board approved the sale of the Celtics for $5.1 million to Robert Schmertz, a 46-year-old realtor from Lakewood, N.J. He will be sole owner of the club. The only other individual owner in the team's history was the late Walter Brown, who purchased the Celtics in their infancy in 1946. He died in 1964, but by thct time was co-owner with Lou Pieri.

The official clock was ticking but he didn't care. Bobby Fischer ALWAYS is late. He has been late for more important things than a chess match. Even a world championship one. but the Board still turned down the offer.

Murray- NEW YORK (AP) The Chicago Bulls were without a home court today, while the Boston Celtics, Atlantic Division champions of the National Basketball Association, had only their second sole owner in their 26-year history. The Bulls have played the last five seasons in Chicago Stadium, after playing in the Chicago Amphitheatre in 1966-67, their first season in the league. At present, they have no lease for next season for either arena. They could play in the Amphitheatre, which holds about 10,500 for basketball, if the league's Board of Governors reconsiders a $5.0 million offer to purchase the club by a nine-man group from Milwaukee and Chicago, headed by Marvin L.

Fishman, a Milwaukee realtor. The Board rejected Tuesday1 the Fishman group offer to buy the Bulls from Elmer Rich. NBA Commissioner Walter Kennedy indicated that the Governors did not approve the offer because the Bulls were unable to obtain a lease for the Stadium.

Finally, after eight minutes, during which time Spassky got up impatiently and walked around, Fischer appeared. He shook hands with Spassky and then sat down in his special swivel chair which he had flown in from New York for these championships. Fischer studied the board two minutes, then made his first move, knight to King bishop three. In his own mind, Fischer feels he's one little guy taking on the whole Russian govern length from the hole." The second rule was: "The tee shall be on the ground." Joe Dey, a noted historian, former head of the USGA and now commissioner of the Tournament Players Division of 'the PGA, explained about rule No. 1.

"This, of course, was before there were wooden tees. The player would reach into the hole to get a handful of sand and pour it on the ground to form a tee. Now, there was no rule covering uniformity of the size of the hole. So as the day Open Steeped in History Lonborg Should Have Soaked Head MUIRFIELD, SCOTLAND(AP) Only in the United States is it called the British Open. Elsewhere in the world it is simply The Open.

This is The Open. The others carry a demeaning prefix. Like the United States Open. Or the Canadian Open. Or the Tasma-nian Open.

This is particularly true in Britain, where they blithely ignore the existence of any other open golf championship. It's more particularly true in Scotland. It's most particularly true around Muirfield, which has some considerable claims to being the birthplace of the game. It was in this area, some 16 miles southeast of Edinburgh Castle which crouches on a hilltop in Scotland's capital, in 1744 that golf's first organization was formed, the honorable Company of Edinburgh golfers. The company, which still conducts the affairs of Muirfield, was organized to play a four-hole course not far from the present site hard by the Firth of Forth on the East coast of Scotland.

And they drew up the game's first set of rules, 13 of them. The first rule was: "The tee shall be not more than one club By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK you play chess?" "No," said Wes Parker, first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers -and owner of one of baseball's more active minds, "but I'm interested in the game." "You mean the world championship going on in Iceland now?" "Yes, I'm following it." "Because of this guy Fischer?" "He's the main reason, I suppose." "How do you feel about "him, do you like him or not?" "I like him." "Why?" Wes Parke mulled it over awhile. "I like him because he has said Parker, using a word which is perfectly okay in a baseball clubhouse but not in a family newspaper, a word meaning not only brass but much more, and one which describes Bobby Fischer, the pensiver, seemingly strange chess genius from Brooklyn perhaps better than any other word you can think of. Chess dates back to antiquity and has been called the most serious game played by man. It's such a serious game and requires so much concentration, relatively few men play it.

Less than 5 per cent in the United States even know the rules but an astonishingly large percentage has begun following the game the past few weeks. Only because of Bobby Fischer. Here's a pale, studious, almost timid-looking 29-year-old one-time Boy Wonder who makes guys like Joe Namath and Dick Allen look like a couple of amateurs when it comes to doing his own thing, his own way and in his own good time. The opening match in Reykjavik Tuesday was a perfect example. Word had filtered down that Fischer was "go, go, go" for that first match with Boris Spassky, Russia's world champion.

All the embroidery had been taken care of. The drapes, the TV cameras, the lights, the chess board, all the things Fischer had kicked about. Spassky was all set. Everyone in the Reykjavik Chess Hall was holding his breath as the Russian, playing the white pieces, made the first Whitlinger Advances ST. LOUIS, Mo.

He doesn't feel this way because of any politics, the usual politics between countries, that is, but because of chess politics. Regardless, he always played to win. Tuesday's first game was adjourned, meaning each man had made his allotted 40 moves in the five-hour time limit with no decision being reached. When the game is resumed today, Spassky will have the upper hand although Fischer can still get a draw. In this first of 24 games, Spassky played the way every went on and more players went through, the hole got bigger and bigger.

Nicklaus said he would not be surprised if it took a total of more than 282 to win the title the score he shot when he won here in 1966. Defending champion Lee Trevino said he'd go along with Nicklaus being tagged the favorite. "But remember this, fellas, I did not come here to finish second. I think I can win and I'm sure that is true of the other 15 Americans here." Par Faces Beating In the 1967 World, Series, just after he had three-hit the Cardinals to send the Series back to Boston and two more games, Jim Lonborg, the pitcher, was found by Harry Jupiter, the journalist, soaking his arm in ice. "Jim," Harry wanted to know pitching 90 per cent mental?" "If it were," Jim said ironically, "I'd be soaking my head, not my arm." We switch now to Christmas Eve that same year.

Jim Lonborg, soon to be a $100,000 pitcher and a million-dollar property, has ducked-walked up the back of the mountain at Heavenly Valley in Tahoe and begun the long expert run down the other side. He is tired, the lifts are shut down, it is late, and the results are predictable. He "catches a ski edge in the slalom run, tumbles heavily and tears some ligaments. He also tears some money. Back in Boston, the irascible sportswri-.

ter Clif Keane surveys the wire story on "the accident. "Damn! He WAS soaking the wrong part of his anatomy!" he exclaims. In 1967 James R. Lonborg, Stanford '64, was one of the classiest pitchers in bass-ball, a right-handed Koufax. The class ex-" tended off the mount.

Poised, assured, pos- sessed of a fine sinker ball and poisonous determination, he single-handedly pitched the Red Sox to the pennant (as Carl Yastr-zemski had batted them) and almost to the world championship. They thought a Stanford boy would go running for his governess or send for the chauffeur the minute the going got rough so Jim Lonborg hit 19 "batters and knocked down 80. He had one-hit the Cardinals in the second game of the Series and three-hit them in the fifth. Back in Fenway Park in Boston, fans thought "slalom" was something you put in a hero sandwich, and they weren't sure whether you skied on horseback in a pith helmet or chased foxes. They knew it was expensive.

The accident cost Jim Lonborg several hundred thousand dollars. Because the fast ball disappeared down the slopes of Heavenly Valley, too. So did the World Scries cul lot Uk Iamb Jim Lonborg struggled to regain the form which had won him the Cy Young Award but, as is so often the case, the torn ligaments in the leg ruined the healthy arm and, maybe, the head. Pretty soon, Jim Lonborg would have had to put all 6 feet 5 inches of him in ice. Jim Lonberg struggled with indifferent results for five years.

He broke a toe, hurt his arm and pretty soon, he had, so to speak, slalomed all the way down to Louisville and Triple A. He was part of a 10-player trade between the Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers last winter and, on a team without the flashy power of the 1967 Red Sox, Jim Lonborg is winning games almost at his old Cy Young clip. He is 7 and 4 on a team that is playing .397 ball. It has become necessary for Jim Lonborg to find other reasons for his decline than the skiing accident. It is like Napoleon saying Waterloo was beiside the point, or Custer claiming Little Big Horn had nothing to do with the fact he lost his hair.

In a way, they are right. It was what happened AFTER the initial collision that was critical. In Jim's case, he explains it this way: "I missed spring training and a pitcher cannot miss spring training. I had the torn ligaments. I would have been better off with a sharp fracture.

I came back too soon, tried too much. Then I fouled a pitch off my toe. My arm was sound, but I rushed and lost my groove." Still, one can't help noticing Jean-Claude never took a chance on a hot one through the box off the bat of a Hank Aaron or slid into second seat first. If HIS broke a leg, it was at something he was getting aid for. "Will you ski again now?" I asked Jim Lonborg the other night.

He shook his head. "No, I can't afford it." It was the understatement of the season. At those prices, what it cost him, H. L. Hunt couldn't afford it.
