Leslie Langley, coach of the American League champion Athletics and head mentor of the All-Stars, has elected to start his ace from the A's, Mike Campbell, on the mound tonight against the tough Carthage nine.

Campbell, a hard-throwing right-hander, is undefeated in two seasons against AL competition. Supporting a strong 5-0 record. this season, Campbell also boasts a 4-0 mark as an 11- big sports hall downstairs watched on closed circuit television. Apparently Fischer had no objection to that TV equipment. But Referee Lothar Schmid announced he had moved the third game into the private room "just for today just to save the match." Schmid said the rest of the games would be played in the hall.

Spassky's aides described the offstage room as a "chess cupboard" and warned that the Russian would not play any more games in it.

Officials overruled the American's appeal against the forfeit, and until the last minute it was uncertain if Fischer would continue. He and two lawyers assisting him in Iceland had seats booked on a Sunday afternoon flight to New York, but they did not leave.

He earlier blanked the local legion in Paris by a 1-0 count. Marshall starter Rick Smart, who went four and two-thirds innings on the mound, took the loss giving up six runs on six hits.

Charley Best took over for Smart and was unable to retire a batter before giving away to flrimes whn inisherl tho Marshall jumped to an early lead in the first inning with two runs with a single by Smart and a double by shortstop Reed Hollon the key hits. Paris tallied once in the fourth frame before erupting for six runs in the killing fifth. All six runs came with two out. Single tallies in the sixth and seventh frames iced the victory. Marshall came back with two runs in their half of the fifth and a single tally in the sixth, but went down in order in the final frame.

The visitors banged out 12 safeties while the local nine managed only five. Bill Rice paced Paris with three singles. In the second contest southpaw Roger Pierce limited Paris to two runs on four singles. Though collecting only three hits, Marshall put together five runs to help credit Pierce with the triumph. Pierce did most of the damage himself, lining a double and a single in two official trips to the plate.

A single run in the first frame and a three-run outburst in the second turned the tide toward the locals. Marshall's next outing will be Thursday night on the road against Daingerfield before completing regular season play with two contests against Texarkana, one Friday and the finale here Monday.

But the future of the competition remained in suspense as aides of Spassky warned that the Soviet champion would refuse to play any additional games in the private room. Play continues at 1 pjn.

EDT with the referee opening a sealed envelope in which Fischer wrote out his 41st move at Sunday's adjournment. The 29-year-old Brooklynite backed down on a threat to fly home Sunday and appeared for the third game in a small upstairs room of the Reykjavik sports hall. Spassky, 35, playing the white pieces, had already made his first move. Fighting to overcome the Russian's 2-0 lead, Fischer forced Spassky to the defensive midway in the 5-hour, 18-minute session. At adjournment he was in a position to threaten the Russian's king.

At the pause, each player had his king, queen and one bishop remaining while Fischer had six pawns to Spassky's five. Isaac Kashdan, the international grandmaster analyzing the match for The Associated Press, said Fischer had excellent winning chances. He said in a clash of grandmasters, the one pawn advantage could be decisive. Spassky won their opening Ted Sees Importance Of Bunting ARLINGTON, Tex. AP) As a player, Ted Williams was never particularly concerned about bunting.

"But as a manager, I've come to appreciate it as a make-you-or-break-you play," the Texas manager said after his Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in 12 innings Sunday night. "We haven't been bunting very well and it's probably cost us a few games. Tonight we won a game with a bunt." Ienny Randle singled with one out in the 12th and took second on reliefer Horacio Pina's perfectly executed sacrifice bunt. Dave Nelson's single to center sent Randle, who had moved to third on a wild pitch, home with the game-winning run. "We had several other chances to help ourselves with bunts and we messed them up," said Williams.

"It's still the best percentage play when you have a man at first because it kills the possibility of a double play. "As I've said before, I was never worried about my bunting, but it looks to me as if people charge the bunt much harder than they used to. As a result, it's a much tougher play to execute than I remember it." At this point, the Texas manager called in coach Nellie Fox, an excellent bunter during his major league career with the Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros. "I don't see them playing it any different now than when I was playing," said Fox. "But I could bunt pretty well, I suppose, so they knew what to expect from me.

"I'd have to agree that the inf ieldcrs are charging in harder and faster than they used to do on most hitters. That's the difference they charge harder for more hitters." Texas took a 2-0 lead in the first inning off Cleveland starter Mike Kilkenny, but pinch hitter l)us Camilli's opposite field double tied the score.

Fittipaldi, who drives a Lotus works car, now has a firm grip on his campaign to win the world driving title that Stewart hates to give up. i By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Old pro Joe Leonard had known all along that he didn't have the fastest car in Sunday's 200-mile race for Indianapolis-type cars at Michigan International Speedway. But he knew he could finish the race and that was what he set out to do hoping for a bit of luck along the way. He got it with less than two miles to go. Mel Kenyon, another warhorse racer, was leading Iieonard by almost a lap.

Suddenly, Kenyon's Gilmore Spe-cial-Offy lost power going down the back stretch. He was out of gas. Leonard moved into the lead and went on to win handily over Wally Dallenbach in an STP-Lola, with Kenyon coming in third and Sammy Sessions fourth. Lee Kunzman, a rookie, was fifth. The race was stopped twice for a total of more than an hour and a half.
