Cant More Sports On Page 4-S nan Chess Genius Fischer Has Trouble Keeping Score In Tennis RANCH LA COSTA, CALIF. (AP) Bobby Fischer, the American chess wiz (y ft AitocfiUd PrMt) Richls Allen doesn't know much about pinch-hitting. In fact, he couldn't remember if he ever had a pinch-hit before, but he has a philosophy anyway. "It's chopping down a tree," Allen said.

"You don't warm up. You got work to do and you do it." Allen was called to plnch-hlt in the ninth with two men on and the Chicago White Sox trailing, 4-2. He smashed a Sparky tyle pitch for a three-run homer to give Chicago a double-header sweep over the Yankees, 6-1 and 5-4, before a bat day crowd of 51,094. That Allen was In position to pinch-hit was no accident. He had played every inning of every game until Manager Chuck Tanner decided to give him a rest.

"I sensed he was getting a little tired He goes hard every game and doesn't pace himself. "Also, I did want his bat on the bench when I needed him. I can afford to rest him in the second game of double-headers after we win the first one." The homer was the ninth this season for the happy and rejuvenated Allen who leads the league in runs batted in with 37. "Averages don't mean a ard credited with one of the greatest a a 1 tical minds in the world, is an avid tennis devotee who finds the game difficult in only one respect. He has Li AkV 11 BOBBY FISCHER players competing In the De-war's Sports Celebrity Tournament, which opened Monday.

Greenberg, at 60, Is the defending champion. A Loner-Tennis is one of the methods Fischer is using to prepare for his world championship chess match tentatively scheduled for July 2 in Iceland against Russian title-holder, Boris Spassky. Fischer, 28, the one-time boy wonder of chess from Brooklyn, is a Inner, ready seen in public, seldom Interviewed. A bachelor, he secluded himself at Grosslnger's In the New York Catskills for several weeks to get himself physically and mentally ready for the big test. Recently, he moved to this fashionable resort in southern California.

Guests here seldom see him except when he palys tennis. Then he demands the most obscure court, away from prying eyes. A tall, athletically-built, man, he also runs over the hills to strengthen his legs. Enormous Eater After playing tennis, he returns to his room to pours over his chess boards for hours, studying strategy and intricate maneuvers. He is an enormous eater, devouring several hamburgers and glasses of milk at a single sitting.

Greenberg, who played doubles with him, was amazed at Fischer's inability to keep score. "Imagine thin great arithmetical mind not being able to count to jour." the former Tiger slugger said. "He is always asking whose ad it is and he never knows who is winning a game." hit, 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres. "I wouldn't give up more than five homers a year here." Jenkins' fondness for vast San Diego Stadium may be related to the type of opposition he finds there. The hard-throwing Canadian (6-5) has never lost to the Padres in nine career decisions.

Bob Gibson fired his fifty-second career shutout Sunday, a 4-0 triumph over Los Angeles, in which the veteran pitcher also hit his first home run of the year. Gibson wasn't as thrilled about the homer as he was about his pitching. "If I have to depend upon my hitting to win, I'm in trouble," he said following his 209th career victory, one short of the all-time Cardinal club record. Gibson's victory was his third straight after losing his first five decisions. He insists nothing is different now than at the first of the season.

"I'm not pitching any better and I'm certainly not getting any more runs," he said. "It just goes in cycles. In only two games have I pitched poorly. The others could all have gone either way." trouble keeping score. wnats trie score he repeatedly asked Hank Greenberg, the former baseball slugger of the Detroit Tigers, during practice Sunday.

"It's our ad," said Greenberg, on one occasion. "When is it deuce?" Fischer asked. Fischer is one of the 16 thing," Allen said. "I've proved I can hit .300 and everything that goes with it. The important thing Is to win and these two were good ones to win before that crowd." The crowd was the sixth largest in Sox history and the biggest since July 7, 1954, when the Yankees and White Sox drew 53,067.

They don't call the Baltimore Orioles the O's for nothing they got 18 of them Sunday. You know zeroes, goose eggs, O's. The Orioles got nine of them 000 000 000 -in the first game of Sunday's double-header against Oakland and nine more 000 000 000 in the nightcap. The A's got 16 O's themselves but had the presence of mind to score twice in the first inning of each game en route to a 2-0 and 2-0 sweep of the beleaguered Orioles. The twin whitewash was the first to befall Baltimore in 14 years.

Catfish Hunter squelched the Orioles on two hits in the opener while rookie Dave Hamilton, Rollie Fingers and Darold Knowles combined for the shutout in the nightcap. Tom Timmerman blanked the Minnesota Twins on four hits and Mickey Stanley broke up a scoreless duel with a two-run homer in the seventh off Bert Blyleven, only the second hit off the a d-throwing right-hander, for a 3-0 Detroit triumph. Manager Billy Martin doesn't care that the Tigers are only seven games over .500, the poorest record of any division leader in the majors. "If we loin with a .400 record who cares," he said, "as long as we win." Ferguson Jenkins, with a string of 20-game seasons and a Cy Young Award under his belt, has only one wish. "I wish I could pitch 40 games a year in this park," said the Chicago Cub right 1972 R.
