New York at California, NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST LEAGUE CHICAGO (AP) Manager Billy Martin was happier to see his friend Frank Quilici get off to a winning start as a manager than he appeared to be over his Detroit Tigers' 6-4 triumph over the Chicago White Sox Friday night. Martin immediately dispatched a congratulatory wire to Quilici and admitted he was more interested in Minnesota's 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees than Baltimore's 5-4 loss to Texas. Be that as it may, the Tigers climbed within one game of Baltimore in the race for first place in the American League West but Martin did not seem impressed. "Sure, I like winning the game," said Martin "But I don't like to be three runs ahead and then have to struggle. That's the way it has been all year." A couple of Old Timers 37-year-old Al Kaline and 36-year-old Tony Taylor were instrumental in the Tiger victory.

Kaline smashed the 370th homer of his career to tie the game at 2-2 in the sixth and Taylor broke that tie with a run-scoring triple in the eighth ana then scored on a single by ment as hot favorite. But Nastase, primarily a clay court expert, has been playing better and better in each round, whereas Smith has been stumbling. Smith himself admitted after his four-set seandfinal against Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia that his confidence hadn't been as good as he'd wanted so far this year. Nastase, the Romanian Army lieutenant who delights the crowd with his artistry and speed, has been improving with every match. His semifinal against Spaniard Manuel Orantes was one of the classics of the 1972 Wimbledon a tournament spoiled from the aca demic tennis point of view because the top pros are under FAN FARE sip i a 6CCCCCCO P5CPl I CA03HT TA SCsS I PCT.

The White Sox, who suddenly seem to have lost their magic at home, went spinning to their fourth straight defeat but didn't give up.

They scored one in the eighth to make it 4-3 but the Tigers came back with two more in the ninth on run-scoring singles by Taylor and Kaline after two were out. The Sox came back with one in the ninth and had the tying runs on base when Mike Andrews bounced into a game-ending double play. Kaline's homer put ahead of Ralph Kiner in 18th place on the all-time list and he boosted his total of runs batted in to 1,458 to push him into second place past Harry Heilmann for the No. 2 spot in Tiger history. The immortal Ty Cobb drove in 1,821.

"I knew about the home run," said Kaline "but not about the runs batted in. It's nice but my feet are sore." The two teams meet again today in the second of the four-game series which winds up Sunday with a doubleheader. Stan Bahnsen, 10-9, will work for the Sox against Bill Slay-back, 1-2. right thumb and wrist which she injured in May, rolled in five birdies on the back nine as she carded a 70.

Robbed in Church BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) A 72-year-old man said he was robbed of $6 Friday afternoon by a man dressed as a clergyman while he sat praying in St.

Patrick's Church. Francis Whelan of Bridgeport told detectives he was sitting alone when a man wearing a black suit, blue shirt and white collar entered the church and sat behind him. "Give me your money and put everything in your pockets on the seat," Whelan quoted the robber as saying. He said he had about $6. Whelan said he was then ordered to move toward the altar, while the robber was joined by a woman who had waited at the back of the church.

Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody mess. "Take that!" exclaimed the king. Rognvald rode off in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open.

These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature," published in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky, the world champion. Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line, today's championship prize is chicken feed. Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga.

A king put up his horse, falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged in a game, winner take all. The king lost. He left the game on foot, unarmed and unloved. "Little consolation do you derive from the game of chess for now I own your costly jects!" said his competitor.

Don't Waste jg" adultlN'ew By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Sandra Palmer has taken a rather unpopular stand on the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour, but she isn't allowing the off-course politics to interfere with her golf. Miss Palmer shot a 35-3570 Friday to share the lead in the first round of the $32,000 George Washington Golf Classic with Texan Sandra Haynie and Oklahoman Betsy Cullen. Miss Palmer, who took up golf after working as a caddy, has taken sides with Jane Blalock in the legal battle that has rocked the LPGA.

Miss Blalock has been charged by the LPGA with illegally moving her ball on tne greens, one was sus pended for a year and fined $500 but federal court in Atlanta granted an injunction against the suspension. In addition, Miss Blalock, leading money winner on the tour, sued the LPGA for $5 million. Miss Palmer says she doesn't believe Miss Blalock is guilty of the infractions charged. "First of all, I've never seen her do anything," Miss Palmer said, "Nor do I think probably that very many of the players have. I think supposedly that out of all these players who ac cused, only one or two have played with her." Miss Palmer's round of five birdies and only two bogeys on the Hidden SDrines Country Club course gave her a three-under-par 70.

Miss Haynie, despite a bandage on the contract to World Champion-! ship Tennis and were unable to play here this year. Smith's confidence took something of a beating Friday when, together with his Davis Cup partner Erik Van Dillen, of San Mateo, he was easily beaten in three sets by the South African duo Fred McMillan and Bob Hewitt in the finals of the men's doubles. Today will be a test for Billie Jean King as well. She is trying to be the first woman for five years to capture three titles the women's singles and doubles and the mixed doubles. Billie Jean herself did it in 1967.

With the women's crown already firmly in her possession, she is in the finals of the wom cher had gone to the mound before the run was scored. "I thought he was tiring but he told me he felt fine. That's why I left him in there to pitch to Perez," said Durocher. "I didn't want Jack Aker to face Perez with his low ball stuff since Tony can golf it right out of the lot." Aker, who came in a trade from the New York Yankees, sirucK out oeorge foster ana forced Denis Menke to ground out ending the game We were beaten by a fine young pitcher," said Reds Man ager Sparky Anderson. He has all the pitches.

I could see ear ly that he had great stuff. We only had two shots at him with our best one being in the ninth inning." "But I was very pleased with the pitching of Wayne Simp son, said Anderson. Simpson gave up both runs on only four hits through eight innings. The first hit came in the fifth, a home run by Joe Pepi-tone. It was Pepitone's first of the season.

He returned to the Cubs June 30 after a temporary retirement. "I know I can hit," said the Chicago first baseman. "It's a matter of getting my timing back and I've been making pretty good contact with the ball lately. It's kind of embarrassing to get your first home run this late in the season." "Simpson made a good pitch," he said, "a fast ball up and I got under it. Normally I'm a low-ball hitter." Chicago's winning run came in the eighth on a double by Ron Santo scoring Rick Monday.

Pete Rose's throw from WHA Serves As Lever, Says Hull HALIFAX, N.S. (AP) If the World Hockey Association has done nothing else, it has given hockey players "a terrific bargaining lever," former Chicago Black Hawks' superstar Bobby Hull said Friday. Hull, who recently signed as playing coach with the Winnipeg Jets of the WHA, said that since the new league came into existence, the players have been able "to bargain for them selves. "The National Hockey League has really been the only place to play," he said. "The owners have known it and I'm sure that if they wanted to put the screws to somebody, they could.

"It's given them bargaining power which they never had be fore," Hull said. Other established NHL play ers have expressed interest in the new 10-team league. "We've talked to guyi that have been offered in the neigh borhood of with NHL clubs," Hull said. "When we started to offer them $70,000 and 10 on, they've gone to the National League clubs and said: 'Look, if you don't want to give me this contract, I know where I can get it.

Classy Field In Miller Open MILWAUKEE (AP) Forty 01 tne nation top stock car drivers will ready their cars tonight and take to the State Fair track Sunday in the 5th annual Miller 200-mile race.

Hooton, 22, now 7-7 after set-t i down the National League's Western Division-leading Cincinnati Reds 2-1 Friday night, said the remark wasn an insult to baseball at 'lexas.

"We had a great baseball nroeram there." he said. "Col-1 lege baseball doesn't get the credit it should, tninK it on a level with AA ball." Hooton silenced the Reds bats until the fifth inning and pitched his way out of a scrape in the sixth inning when Paul Popovich jumped high in the air to spear a Johnny Bench line drive and double Bobby To-lan off first. Using a combination of fast-balls, changeups and a peculiar "knuckle curve ball" he developed as a teen-ager, the rookie, in his second year of professional baseball, sailed along until the last of the ninth inning.
