Dallas-Fort Worth, behind 6-4 after six innings, roared back with nine runs in the next two and went on to win 13-6 over Birmingham. That stretched the winners' slim lead in the West to one game over Amarillo, which split a doubleheader with Shreveport, losing the first game 2-0 but taking the second 2-1. In the only other game played, Albuquerque beat Cen tral leader Arkansas 6-2. San Antonio and Memphis were rained out.

Entering the end game, Fischer had control of more space and Taimanov was forced on the defensive.

The game will be continued today. Fischer holds a 4-0 lead in the 10-game match and a win in the fifth game would leave him needing only a draw in the remaining games to advance to the semifinals.

"I always knew this team was deep, sound the able to win," commented British captain Michael Bonallack who was beaten 3-1 by Lanny Wad-kins, the U.S. Amateur champion from Richmond, Va.

(AP) The National Basketball Association headed for its first on-the-court showdown with the rival American Basketball Association tonight with player of the year Lew Alcindor holding the balance of power over the younger Jeague. But what if Lew doesn't play in the game? That possibility arose Thursday night on the eve of the 8:30 p.m. EDT nationally televised clash when it was announced in Washington, D.C. that Alcindor would be married today. Alcindor, the architect of Milwaukee's NBA championship, did not arrive here Thursday with other NBA stars but was scheduled to be on hand today for a workout before tonight's game.

Plans now call for Alcindor to catch a flight from Washington following the wedding in time to honeymoon in the Astrodome tonight providing he makes Bears Sign Soccer Kicker in the bottom of the ninth by Amarillo's Bob Frazier broke a 1-1 tie in the second game. But the real highlights of the game were the almost identical per-formanaces by the starting pitchers for both teams. Both Les Scott of Amarillo and Clint Comjiton of Shreveport went the route, struck out 12 and gave up four hits apiece. But it was Scott, now 2-4, who took the victory and Compton who took the loss and suffered Frazier's game-winning homer. Tonight's games find Amarillo at Dallas-Fort Worth, Albuquerque at San Antonio, Savannah at Shreveport, Columbus at Arkansas, Montgomery at Asheville, Birmingham at Charlotte and Memphis at Jacksonville.

Larry Fleisher, counsel for the NBA players, said the team members were not playing the game to sprrte league owners but to show the owners that the two leagues could meet in an all-star game without an "ille gal" merger. A blending of the rules of both leagues finally was ironed out Thursday. Under the setup, the first half will be played us ing the NBA's 24-second block and NBA official ball.

Robert M. Green, president of the network, said the U.S.

The NBA would remain the favorite even without Alcindor because of its experience, but it would give the prestige-hungry ABA a closer match. In another move affecting the NBA lineup, the Baltimore Bullets announced they did not want Earl Monroe to play in the all-star contest. A club spokesman said if Monroe played the Bullets "could take whatever measures are spelled out in his contract which includes suspension or fine." But Monroe said he was packing for Houston.

SHOE STORE I Mr i- WHITE 10.95 BLUE or BankAmericari We Invite Credit Cards By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA (AP) If you apply the old thoroughbred racing theory of "horses for tracks" to Villanova runner Marty Liquori and Franklin Field, the only way Liquori can fail to win his third consecutive IC4A mile championship this weekend is if he falls down.

In four years of competition on Franklin Field's lightning fast Tartan surface, Liquori has never been in a losing race. This includes running on one freshman and nine varsity Penn Relay winners, his second IC4A mile triumph, and the 3:54.6 victory two weeks ago over Jim Ryun in the Martin Luther King Games. Villanova is favored to out-score Maryland in the team competition for its 11th title in 15 years, but Liquori's bid for a feat accomplished only twice in the 94-year history of the IC4A has the spotlight. He is seeking his sixth IC4A mile championshipthree indoors and three outdoors, accomplished pre viously by Leslie MacMitchell of New York University 1940-41-42 and Dave Patrick of Vil lanova 1966-67-68 Liquori would be the seventh meet history to win the outdoor mile three times. Seven defending champions are scheduled to compete in the two day track and field meet involving 70 teams and 1,225 athletes, the most ever.

Freshmen are eligible this year for the first time since World War II, with the exception of Ivy League entrants. Liquori faces a field which in cludes William and Mary's Howell Michael, Maryland's John Baker. Penn's Karl TIPS ON PUTTING NEW YORK (AP) Golf pro Art Wall suggests this method to keep your head still while putting: "There's a number on the ball. Place it with the number visible at the rear and watch the number all through the stroke." This idea also helps the putter blade follow through toward the direction in which you are putting.
