Fischer Makes Written Apology, Chess Match on Again Si ENTRIES Reykjavik, Iceland (iP) Bobby Fischer made a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky Thursday, 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 Thursday night 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 behavior." 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 sincerest apology." Simply Was Carried Away "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. 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. He said this "would place me at a tremendous handicap" and he 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 ghess games with you," Fischer concluded. Euwe Suggests Another Delay Earlier Euwe had met other demands the Russians made on him and suggested that the start of the match be delayed further. Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said he didn't penalize Fischer for his late arrival in Iceland because the American challenger is "living in another world." He said Spassky, the Russian world titleholder, was "very upset" and that he would like to give him another week before the first game. 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. The 24-game series between Fischer and Sjpassky had been scheduled to start Sunday. Fischer stayed in New York, holding out for more money, and Euwe postponed the start of the match until Tuesday. Fischer arrived that day, but the Russians objected to his conduct and Euwe put the start off until Thursday. Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the start of the match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing.

Then they demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game. The American's apology, read by a spokesman at a news conference, said: "We are sorry the world championship was delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player. Didn't Have Slighest Intention Grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomfited, I am indeed unhappy, for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring."

A month on the disabled list May 9 to June 9 while mending from surgery on a torn ligament in his leg allowed Yastrzemski to go over his hitting slump that held his batting average to a mere .164. Suddenly, Yaz became the terror of old. Not with the long ball, but with well placed singles and doubles.

He went 3-for-4 Wednesday night as he lifted his average to .302. His double provided an insurance run in Boston's 2-0 victory over Lincoln, Neb.

Yastrzemski's double in the eighth scored Tommy Harper with an insurance run. "If this club doesn't have momentum now, it never will," said Yaz. "We've got consistency in all departments.

"I'm not going for the long ball since I've been back. I'm doing just what I want getting base hits. Only a couple of times this year have I really swung for the long ball and one was by accident.

Top Seeded Smith, King Win Wimbledon Semifinal Matches WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Top-seeded Stan Smith of Pasadena, Calif, came from behind to beat Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia 3-6. 6-4, 7-1, 7-5 today in the first of the men's semifinal matches of 1 1 Wimbledon tennis tournament. The second match, before a capacity crowd of ,15,000 on the grassy center, court, pitted Hie Nastase of Romania against Manuel Orantes of Spain. It was the first. time since World War II that no Australian was in the final four.

Defending champion John Newcom.be, an Aussie, is one of 32 World Championship Tennis stars banned from Wimbledon this year because he is a contract professional. In the third set, the match began to turn in Smith's favor. He broke through to a 2-0 lead in the second game with the help of another magnificent lob which clipped Kodes' baseline. The Czech was unlucky and slipped in the final rally, and Smith hit a forehand past him. Smith's backhand was going better now and won him two splendid points for another break at 4 0.

Smith stretched his lead to 50 before Kodes held service and won a game. The American dropped only one a double fault in holding his service to win the set 6-1. On Wednesday, Billie Jean Kong of Long Beach, and Evonne Goolagong, the defending champion from Australia, reached the women's final. "This is my seventh Wimbledon final" said Mrs. King after beating Rosemary Casals of San Francisco, 6-2, 6-4.

"It's a nice feeling because I've been disappointed with my play the last three or fouj years. "I'm looking forward to it. But Evonne has the cham pionship quality. She is a very versatile athlete and has purpose behind every shpt." Miss Goolagong had a tough 90-minute samMinal against 17-year-old Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Little Chris, on her first visit to the Wimbledon center court, took, the first set 6-4 and raced to a 3-0 lead in the second.

But the 20-year-old Australian rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory. For the first time, Evonne was given tactical advice by Vic Edwards, her coach and legal guardian. He told her to get in at the net and cut short her backhands. "I usually leave it to Evonne herself to decide how to play a match," Edwards said. "But this time I was able to help, because I know the weaknesses cf players who use a double grip for their backhand1.

I trained Jan Lehane, who used the same backhand grip as Chris. "I know the weaknesses that have to be ironed out of their that cannot be cured. I told Evonne how to capitalize on them. "But Chris is a great player and a thoroughly nice kid. We shall see a lot more of her in the years to come."
