Melvin M. Reed, 32, 29 Dean Deposit, waived extradition today before Broome County Judge Stephen Smyk and was returned to Susquehanna County for arraignment tremendous handicap" and didn't believe the "world's champion desires such an advantage in order to play me." "I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded. Earlier Euwe had met other demands the Russians made on him and suggested that the start of the match be delayed further. Euwe also admitted he had violated the rules in allowing two previous postponements in the start of the match. He promised strict rule enforcement in the future.

Fischer told Spassky: "I have offended you and your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a prestigious position." The temperamental American also apologized to Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, the Icelanders, "the thousands of fans around the world and especially to the millions of fans and the many friends I have in the United States." However, Fischer brushed aside a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation that he forfeit the first match because of his tardy arrival.

Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer made a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky today, and organizers of the world chess championship match said the two would meet for their first game Sunday night. The organizers said it had been agreed in principle to hold the drawing tonight to determine which player would have the white pieces and with them the first move.

The young American, in a letter delivered by hand this morning to the world chess champion from the Soviet Union, apologized for his "disrespectful betiavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my slnrerest apology." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he wrote. The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess board with Fischer. HAMILTON State Police have reported a summer cottage fire more than a week ago definitely was a fire of suspicious origin and is being investigated as a possible arson. The Oneida State Police investigation comes in the wake of the finding six days ago of two skeletons in the charred remains of the camp. The second of the bodies, both burned beyond recognition, has been identified, on the basis of a wristwatch, police said.

Investigators said the second man was identified as Salva-tore lima, 70, of Utica. He is the father-in-law of Nicholas Comite, 50, also of Utica, whose body first was identified earlier this week through dentist's records. Lima's body was identified by a sister, Anna Lima Cramer of Syracuse. The charred bodies of the two men were found last Friday by an insurance investigator probing the ruins five days after the fire. The building is owned by Utica industrialist Louis J.

Groover had been walking past the parked truck when another unidentified man, sitting atop the cab of Reed's truck, kicked Groover in the head. When Groover fell under the truck.

Reed backed it up, trying to run over him, Collier said. Tires of the truck brushed along Groover's back, causing brush burns, and ran over his finger, Collier said. Shortly afterward, Collier stopped Reed for a traffic violation, but when Reed saw Groover chasing after him in Groover's own truck, Reed fled back roads, Collier said. Police are also seeking the man who kicked Groover in the head. Collier said the incident began when Groover, an auto mechanic, asked Reed to move his truck so he could tow aw ay another vehicle.
