6 Comden (Ark.) Camden Newt Friday, June 30, 1972 Fischer To Challenge Russians NEW YORK UJPh-The more Bobby Fischer thinks about it, the more it bugs him. Why Reykjavik. Iceland? not Fischer would like to know not Paris. Oslo. Zurich.

Dallas or New York9 Or even Moscow? Any large city where people, activity and decent restaurants would be fine. Some place at least where something to do at night Bobby Fischer, America's 29- year-old chess genius, has a theory about why Reykjavik was picked as the site of the world championship which starts Sunday The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive He thinks they want to the championship because he feels going to take it from the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky more, Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going to do it In this own way. Fischer is a demonstrator He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there This has shaken up a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions Call it one upsmanship if you like Boris Spassky worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though Bobby Hull may or may not play for the Winnipeg Jets next season and Rick Barry may or may not play, for the Golden State Warriors, but there is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing for the world championship of chess Even in Reykjavik. Mainly he thinks he's going to win I be at all surprised if he's right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly-haired New Yorker is right, like Frazier and Tom Seaver when they're right.

nobody's going to beat him Fischer hold back. He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing in Reykjavik, they do make a good deal of sense. Fischer has there, so when he talks about Reykjavik he doing so from hearsay but from personal experience He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night, a guy can go out of his ever- loving mind Not that Fischer is a rounder. If anything, much more of a loner, but there are times he would like to become part of the general mix. or at least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general He also says the television coverage will I limited If he beats Spassky, he see why it should be some kind of secret Fischer originally planned to go to the world championships with only one other person; Spassky is already in Reykjavik with what amounts to an entourage Fischer reads, significance into that also because the championship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax.

Fischer Fischer doesn't think any of these things are pure accidents. He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to try to beat him psychologically world champion has the right to pick the site of the says Fischer "Spassky even there when the international governing body chose the site A Russian delegation was there and they picket! the site Fischer feels the champion ships have become a political matter That annoys him. But it lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky. Fischer has a lot of that same instinct" Jack Dempsey had when he was fighting Some of that instinct shows up even when he's not sitting at the chess board Earlier this month. for example, he competed with 15 other top athletes in the Dewars Sports Celebrity tennis championships at IjiCoKta.

Calif and it was a little funny to watch such headliners as Rick Barry, Deacon Jones and Elgin Baylor all ask Fischer for his autograph In the finals of the tournament. Hank Greenberg, the baseball Hall of Earner, and Hob Boyd, the basketball coach at Southern California. beat Simpson and Gail Goodrich for the title Bobby Fischer was among the losers he said going to win He said it as if he meant it, too Grand Slam Leads Detroit To Win THE 1872 at Munich will be held almost entirely on a tract whose most prominent landmarks are an 870-foot TV transmitter, left, and a partially roofed main stadium that holds 80.000 people. Dodgers Improve But Lose To Astros 8-6 On Errors Hy IIAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer For the Angeles Dodger Ians in the audience today, there is some good news and there is some bad news. First, the good news.

The Dodgers are cutting their fielding errors. They made five boo boos three games ago but reduced that total to three on Thursday. Now, the bad news. They're still losing ball games in the field. Ninth inning errors by Bobby Valentine and Steve Garvey delivered a gift run that tied Thursday's game for Houston and then Bob Watson rifled a single for two more runs and an 8-6 victory for the Astros, who moved to within one-half game ot first place Cincinnati in the National league's West Division.

The Dodgers wiped out an early 5-1 Houston lead, tying the score on Jim three-run pinch homer in the sixth inning Then, Angeles took the lead on homer in the Imttom of the eighth. That's when the Astros played a dirty trick on the Dodgers They started hitting the ball to Garvey instead ol pitching it to him Norm Miller opened the Astro ninth with a pinch single and Jim Brewer relieved for the Dodgers.

One out later, Cesar Cedeno, who had a two-run homer earlier, grounded to Garvey The third baseman's throw got by Valentine, covering second, tor an error and Miller wound up on third and Cedeno at second. Next, Jim Wynn bounced other grounder to Garvey and this time, the third baseman threw the ball away himself, allowing Miller to score the tying run Cedeno stopped at third and Wynn wound up at second. That was all the help the Astros needed. Watson followed with his two-run single, giving Houston the victory. Jim Barr spaced eight hits against Cincinnati and helped build San Francisco's winning run with a seventh-inning sacrifice Tito Fuentes opened the eighth with a single and moved up on Barr bunt.

Then hot-hitting Chris Speier lined a single to left, delivering Fuentes with the winning run, Speier's single was his 14th hit in the last six games. only rough spot came in the fourth inning when Johnny Bench and Tony Perez ripped consecutive pitches for home runs. The homers were 20th and 12th In the East Division, Pittsburgh opened its lead to one game over New York. The Pirates drove Nellie three- hit pitching to an easy victory over Montreal while the Mets bowed to a 17-hit Philadelphia attack. Briles permitted only three ol them by Boots Day-in disposing of the Expos He also contributed an RBI- single to the Pittsburgh attack which was paced by Richie Hebner's three-run homer.

Steve Carlton tamed the Mets on seven hits and struck out 13, but he had to throw 171 pitches after surviving a shaky start.
