Donald K. Nelson of 1500 Forty-seventh was visiting his grandparents in Kanawha, a community in Hancock County. Nelson said the mishap occurred as his son was keeping score at a community softball game. The boy's father gave the following account of events leading to his son's death: While keeping score, the Nelson youth bent over, then stood up and struck his head on the bottom of the scoreboard. He remained on the playing field for awhile, then felt sick and went to his grandparents' home.

After the game was over. Fischer told the man who taught him the moves of the game when he was a boy in Brooklyn, N.Y., that "it will settle down." Bad Day It was a bad day all around for the 29-year-old American. In addition to conceding Spassky a 1-0 lead at the outset of the 24- game match, Fischer developed some more money trouble.

News from London, England, was that James Slater, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 pounds (about wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. Slater's donation, which pushed the total prize money to $300,000, enticed Fischer to end his holdout at the scheduled start of the match July 2. Asked about Slater's problem, Fischer snapped, "No comment." The play lasted only one hour and three minutes. It was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves, with Fischer in a position the experts said would give him only a draw at best.

2 SPOT RULED OUT BY KENNEDY Phone Call Cuts Off Any Speculation By James Risser (Of The Register's Washington Bureau) MIAMI BEACH, FLA. Senator Edward M. Kennedy early Thursday morning rejected Senator George McGovern's offer to run as a candidate for the vice-presidency on the Democratic ticket in November, McGovern aide Richard Dougherty said. After 119 delegate votes from Illinois assured his nomination, Kennedy called McGovern to offer congratulations. At that time, he was offered- -and declined the vice-presidential spot, McGovern aides said.

Dougherty said Kennedy declined "for very real personal reasons." Dougherty said the two men talked for about 15 minutes. And so the only question left for the Democratic convention was the selection of a No. 2 man to run with McGovern. Many convention delegates saw, in the magic of the Kennedy name and the expectation that he could help heal wounds between McGovern forces and organized labor, the best chance of putting together a winning combination to oust President Nixon from the White House. But Kennedy's decision against accepting the nomination was irrevocable.

It was learned that earlier he had sent a telegram to Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien clearly stating his decision. He asked O'Brien to read it to the 3,016 delegates if a draft movement should start. Kennedy took the action as sentiment among the delegates continued to build for him.

Senator Harold Hughes said Wednesday he opposes nominating Senator Edward Kennedy as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate because it would jeopardize Kennedy's life. Kennedy's name has been mentioned as a running mate of Senator George McGovern, and in an interview Hughes said. "'He'd add the most strength to the ticket, but I hope he doesn't, on a personal basis the risk to his life it too great." Two of Kennedy's older brothers, John and Robert, were victims of assassins and Teddy Kennedy, the only surviving son of Joseph M. Kennedy, has been the target of many threats to his life. "This year I hope Ted Kennedy's family loyalty is above his party loyalty," said Hughes.

"If he is going to take the risk of running, then he should have gone for the number one spot, instead, because the, risk is the same. "Also, the risk is unnecessary in his case because he doesn't need the vice as a stepping stone to the Hughes added that a defeat to the Democratic ticket in November would damage Kennedy's future political chances. "It would be another unnecessary risk," is the way he put it. New Democrats Banish L.B.J. By Richard Wilson Register's FLA.

The Democratic Party Wednesday night put its election hopes in the hands of Senator George S. McGovern, climaxing an incredible campaign that carried the South Dakotan to the pinnacle of party power. When McGovern's delegate count on the first ballot went over the 1,509 needed to win the presidential nomination, Convention Hall erupted into bedlam. But many delegates sat in stony silence, illustrating McGovern's task of fashioning a united party vital if he is to stand a chance of unseating President Nixon in November. McGovern watched his nomination on television in his seventeenth-floor penthouse in the Doral Beach Hotel, accompanied by a few close aides and a few relatives.

Mrs. McGovern was at Convention Hall. Downstairs in the Doral lobby, about 250 young McGovern volunteer campaign workers watching television broke into a loud cheer as the senator went over the top. They immediately began chanting, "Beat Nixon, beat Nixon, beat Nixon!" McGovern made it when the roll call reached 1,603 with announcement of the 119 votes he won in Illinois.
