Tulsa Gains 4-3 Victory Over Tribe By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Tulsa Oilers had pulled to within y2 games of the leading Wichita Aeros in the Ameri- can Association's Western Division race today after edging the Indianapolis Indians 4-3 Tues day night.

"Why?" Wes Parker 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 mucn more, and one which! describes Bobby Fischer, the pensive, 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 astonishingly large percen tage has begun following the game the past lew weens. HE PUTS NAMATH, ALLEN TO SHAME 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 Reykja vik Tuesday was a perfect example. to 46 and to 38 mare Word had filtered down that Fischer was "go, go, go" for that first match with Boris Spassky, Russia's world cham pion. 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 move, opening with the Queen pawn. The world championship offi cially was on. But something was missing, Fischer. He wasn't there, what was the rush? He had an hour before he had to make the first move. Fischer didn't set out to keen Spassky waiting.

He didn't care. Bobby Fischer always is late. He has been late for more important tnings tnan a chess match. Even a world championship one. FISCHER MOVES AFTER 2 MINUTES And bet on it, he'll be late again.

That's the way he is. 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 ment.

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 body thought he would conservatively. That figured because if this whole business winds up even, say 12-12, Spassky goes back home to Russia the same way he came to Reykjavik world champion.

Fischer has the first move in Thursday's second game, though. Watch him go! He'll play a completely different game. You can bet on that, too. Wes Parker doesn't have to be a chess expert. He's still got Bobby Fischer tagged perfectly.

BALTIMORE PLAYER'S SON HIT BY CAR BALTIMORE (AP) The four-year-old son of Bal-t i Orioles outfielder Terry Crowley was in fair condition today after being hospitalized with a compound leg fracture Tuesday night. Crowley left in the first inning of a game between the Orioles and the Kansas City Royals when he received word that his son, Terry, had been struck by a car in front of his suburban Baltimore home. The youngster was admitted to Union Memorial Hospital for precautionary observation against possible head injury and for treatment of the leg fracture, officials said.

Dale Drake, Offy Engine Builder, Dies SANTA ANA, Calif.

(AP) Dale Drake, who began as mechanic at the Indianapolis 500 and ended up owning the engine company that dominated America's most famous auto race, Is dead of a heart attack.

Cars with the four-cylinder engines have won at In dianapolis in all but six years since World War II. Mark Don- ohue drove one to victory this year. Drake, a native of Reedley, worked for his family's valve company after high school, then became a mechan ic for race driver Louis Meyer, later his business partner.

His son John is president of the firm. Truth And this stable head enables him to keep his backswing and downswing in the same plane, or angle. We should all strive to keep our swings on one plane throughout. There is a lot of talk about how the pros let the club drop into a power slot at the start of their downswing. Maybe they do, but it's neither intentional nor desirable.

The power position is on the inside of the target line, which probably gives rise to this mistaken assumption; an inside-out swing results in more power. But you still want to swing in one plane. Try to groove your swing so that you don't have to make unnecessary adjustments from your backswing to your downswing. The closer you can come to keeping it In the same plane throughout, the better off you'll be. PAID FOR IT!) DATE FACSIMILE (NON-NEGOTIABLE) Heritaae fa PAY TO J.

Earlier this year, Family Weekly asked FBI Director Hoover to write about who and what had most influenced his life. This article arrived in our editorial offices a matter of days before his death. Seeking to analyze his past and to measure the incidents that were to affect his future, J. Edgar Hoover determined there was no one measurable source for the valuable lessons in his life. Writing especially for FAMILY WEEKLY readers, Mr.

Hoover shares his recollections of those people, events, and activities which, collectively, developed in him a code of conduct which was to guide him in his personal life, in developing the precepts on which the Federal Bureau of Investigation was founded, and in establishing the traditions on which its oper. ation was based for so many years. Perhaps to suggest the impact of those forces which influenced his formative years, Mr. Hoover lists the names of the eight Americans whom he selected as "exemplars of courage in the discharge of duty" and suggests that he'd most like to be remembered as a "man of fair play," devoted to a "solemn responsibility to the Nation in the cause of truth and justice.
