0, Islanders leac 9etore. losin am 9 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah The Hawaii Islanders suffered another heartbreaker last night, this time losing a 4-3 decision to the Salt Lake City Angels at Derks Field. It was the second straight one-run loss to the Angels, who share the Pacific Coast League East lead with Albuquerque. And it was also the third straight loss for the Islanders, who have won only two of their last 14 games and now stand 12 games under .500 and 14 games removed from pace-setting Eugene in the PCL West. THE ISLANDERS scored all their runs in the fourth inning for a 3-0 lead, but this evaporated when the Salts rallied for three runs in the sixth to tie and then tallied another in the seventh to win.

Reliever Dave Sells, who played service ball in Hawaii, notched his second win in two nights and ex-Islander Chuck Vinson singled for the clincher in the seventh. Billy Parker, a one-man wrecking crew against he Islanders since last season, tripled for two runs and Bruce Christensen, who also logged service time in Hawaii, singled for the tying run. A two-run single by Cesar Gutierrez was the only hit as the Islanders scored three times in the fourth. Salt Lake starter Andy Hassler had control problems, issuing four walks, and the Islanders converted three of them into runs. IT STARTED with a lead-off walk to Jim Hicks.

Two outs later Hassler walked Steve Whitaker, Ray Oyler and Islander starter Ralph Garcia, forcing in the first run. Then Gutierrez singled to left for two more and that 3-0 lead. Garcia pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the fifth but ran out of gas in the sixth. In the fifth, Parker and Jim Hutto singled to left and Christensen legged out an infield hit, loading the bases with only one out. But Garcia then fanned Rudy Meoli and got pinch hitter Bruce Heinbechner on a forceout grounder to end the inning.

After a one out walk to Frank Baker in the sixth, Garcia lost his shutout bid with two down when Vinson singled to center and Parker slammed a triple off the center field hoards for two runs. Then Christensen singled for the tying run. A LEADOFF single by Sells led to the clincher off loser Bob Chlupsa (0-2) in the seventh. He was sacrificed to second by ex-Islander Tomas Silverio and then raced home on Vinson's single to right. Sells held the Islanders hitless for 2 innings in stretching his shutout See ISLANDERS, C-4, Col.

4 ag mm. The Honolulu Advertiser tor FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1972 '( ussian gets the white ones first 1 1 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPJ) After two weeks of behind-the-scene diplomacy and much talking, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky have agreed to get down to their real business playing chess. The match for the world title now held by the 35-year-old Russian will begin Tuesday in the Icelandic capital. The winner gets $150,000 and the loser $100,000. Spassky won the draw last night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move.

The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate. WHEN SPASSKY was introduced at last night's draw, Fischer And when the challenger was presented, Spassky gave him a big hand. As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to Fischer's hand and said, "And good luck." The ceremony confirmed that all the problems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled. It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceland for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms.

Jim Slater, a wealthy British banker, saved the match when he offered to double the prize money from $125,000 to $250,000. Fischer finally turned up July 4 but by then, Spassky was upset and threatened to pull out. He first demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game, then asked for an apology from the American and finally asked Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), to admit that he violated the rules when he postponed the match in Fischer's absence instead of disqualifying the American. EUWE, HIMSELF a former world champion and the last non-Russian to hold the title, promptly penned a declaration admitting that he had made a mistake.

Yesterday, Fischer broke the ice when he wrote a letter to "Dear Boris" apologizing for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer admitted he had "offended you and your country, the Soviet Union." Spassky accepted the apology, although it was not delivered directly to him by Fischer.

Newcombe, who won a WCT tournament at St. Louis, last week, watched the match from the press box.

Smith, the top seed from Pasadena, dispatched Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia, the man he beat at Forest Hills last year to win the U.S. Open, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-5, in 2 hours 11 minutes while Nastase, Miss Goolagong and three-time winner Billie Jean play for a $6,240 prize. Smith did not play well in the first set. No fewer than 13 backhand volleys were dumped into the net and Kodes made the most of these gifts to break for 4-2 after Smith had stood 40-15.

A flashing backhand cross court and another which forced an error at the net undid Smith. Smith looked in bad trouble when he was broken to 30 in the seventh game of the second set but he again back to level at 4-4, gaining the break with a deep See KING on C-5, Col. 1 3 SUMMER CLEARANCE Better Quality, Knit SLtoOKS 1 SMITH major league standings National League EXPANSION SALE!
