Saturday, July II, 1973, P-l 7 THE TIMES AND DEMOCRAT, Oringabur, S. Popovich Loads Cubs Ovor Graves Patterson Advances To Ali NEW YORK (AP) Floyd Patterson battered Pedro Agosto at will and stopped him after six rounds of scheduled 10-round heavyweight fight Friday night at the open-air Singer Bowl, The victory cleared the way for the former two-time heavy weight champion to meet Muhammad All Aug. 28 at Madison Square Garden. A loss to Agosto would have knocked Patterson out of the Ali fight. All still must fight Al "Blue" Lewis next Wednesday in Dublin, Ireland.

Agosto, who has seen little action in the past three years had a slight edge in the first three rounds when he landed a i Ny ror and scored on Lum's sixth homer of the baseball scaaon. Karl Williams also homered for the Braves while the Cubs hit four In a losing cause. The Cubs Jumped to a 3 0 lead In the first Inning when Billy Williams cracked his 20th homer with man on base and Joe Pepltone followed with his third homer of the year, Williams led off the Atlanta second with his Uth homer and Lum led off the third with his fifth.

McGovern and Eaglcton both attended another breakfast for Democratic candidates for Congress and governorships. and the Department of Mental Retardation.

By voice votes, the House and Senate endorsed the gas tax hike after a conference com mittee had worked out an agreement on how the additional revenue would be allocated. Under the compromise, the Highway Department will get two-thirds of each additional cent for its programs, and counties will get a third of a penny for farm-to-market road Improvement. The committee also reached a balance in a section dealing with the maximum rebate to oil Jobbers, who collect the gas tax. The Senate had approved $400. the House $300.

and the conferees agreed on $350. Sen. Robert Dennis, D-Berke ley, said Highway Department officials had played an impor tant role in the compromise Dennis said the officials paid a visit to lawmakers Thursday night, and reported they could get along this year with the one cent increase, from eight to nine cents a gallon. Originally, the bill as passed by the House had called for two cents, the amount proposec by the department. However, the Senate knocked it down to one cent, and made no provision for farm-to-market rural road programs.

Rep. Brantley Harvey, Beaufort, a member of the con ference committee, said there was no assurance the penny hike would be adequate for more than one year, "and we may have to look at it again next year." Harvey said the committee which reached its agreement unanimously, had left in a pro vision that would automatically up the tax by another penny per gallon at any time the state treasurer certifies to the state auditor another cent is needed to finance the increased bonding authority of the Highway Department for road improvement.

"I have never compromised on anything affecting playing conditions of the game itself, which is my art and my profession. "It seemed to me that the organizers deliberately tried to upset and provoke me by the way they coddled and kowtowed to that (camera) crew. "I am keen to play this match, and I hope game two will be scheduled for Sunday July 16 at five in the afternoon." Fischer declared that when all the camera equipment had been removed "I will be at the chessboard."

"The next day, when Mark Wilson, an Emory graduate student working on the experiment, returned to the Island to visit the animals and bring food, Jiggs came screaming out of the woods to greet him," the spokesman said. "He got back into his cage and stuck out his arm to be scratched, then turned his back to the bars, so Wilson could scratch his back," Now, Jiggs and the other chimps seem to be thriving, though no offspring are In evidence. They eat foliage, bugs, crabs and small rodents, supplementing the diet Wilson brings them daily. Wilson brings them a special monkey chow made of cereal, grass, grain, milk and cod liver oil. The apes sleep in two small A-frame houses on stilts which were placed there primarily for use during rainy and cold weather.

"No heat will be provided, to see if the chimps can tolerate the climate this winter," said Dr. Geoffrey H. Bourne, director of Yerkes Center, which is supported by the National Institute of Health. Bear Island is private and warning signs are posted to discourage visitors. "These animals are dangerousespecially the male," said the Yerkes spokesman.

He said he believes O'Brien will play a part in the campaign ahead. O'Brien urged party unity in a positive campaign for the White House. "I would not want anyone in this room to construe my de parture now as a departure from the goal I have held," said O'Brien, who broke in as a top campaigner for the late President John F.

Agosto said later he broke his left hand In the second round, Agosto, 196 to 193V4 for Patterson, was bleeding from a cut alongside the left eye and his right eye was almost swollen shut. The eye cut, which bled throughout, came in the second round, when the Puerto Rican also bloodied Patterson's nose. But Patterson carried the round handily as he did the rest of the fight by landing punches in bunches, mostly to the head. In the sixth round, he twice shook up Agosto, 24, with a wicked uppercut.

Agosto is now 24-4. Unser Gains Favorite Role CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION, Mich. (AP) Bobby Unser edged over the 195 mile per hour mark at Michigan International Speedway Friday and became the odds-on favorite to win the pole position for Sunday's 200-mile championship auto race. Time trials to select the fastest 26 starters for the $65,000 race begin at 11:15 a.m.

Saturday, and if weather and track conditions improve, Unser or one of the other drivers very well could top the 200 m.p.h. mark. It would be the first official 200 m.p.h. lap in championship racing and it would come on a two-mile oval that wasn't built especially for the open-wheeled, single-cockpit Indianapolis-type racers. Unser, who recorded a top lap of 196.667 m.p.h.

en route to the pole position for the Indianapolis 500 in May, set the current MIS record for championship cars of 193.444 m.p.h. in July of last year. Bobby Isaac polled the fastest official qualifying speed in racing. He drove a Dodge stock car at 199.658 m.p.h. at Talladega, in April, 1970.

In warmups Friday, Unser wheeled Dan Gurney's Olsonite Eagle around at 192.12 m.p.h. despite a gusty wind that he said hurt his top speed. Thirty-two drivers drew qualifying assignments for Saturday, with veteran sprint car drivers Dee Jones of Browns-burg, drawing the first shot at the timing clock. Jones is a rookie in the ultra-fast Championship division. anfjoburg ALL automotive machine shop needs By STEPHENS BUOENING Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer charged on Friday that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me" deliberately, but an appeals committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky.

The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear, staying in his hotel suite, because he objected to three moving picture cameras in the hall. Thus Spassky, who won the first game, was 2-0 in the 24-game series. He needs 10 more points to retain the title. A victory counts one point and a draw half a point. Fischer agreed to go ahead with the match if the cameras were removed, although the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125,000 purse for the two players.

Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic feder-' ation, said that if the match was stopped by Fischer's disqualification the organizers would not pay the loser's share. This meant that Fischer could not only lose his chances at the title but a great sum of money A As the loser he would be entitled to $46,875 from the chess federation, $45,000 from a purse of about $120,000 offered by British financier James Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but "nothing could have been farther from the facts." He previously had told Schmid that although he could not see or hear the cameras, the knowledge that they were there made him nervous. In his letter, however, he asserted: "The bungling unknowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy, rude and deceitful. The only thing invisible, silent and 1 OWN (effc By ROGER LEDDINGTON Associated Press Writer MOSCOW (AP) Moscow's park bench chess players used to call him "Bobby." Now it's "Fischer." They used to respect and even privately root for the American who wants the world chess crown.

They don't anymore. "He's slightly touched in the head," muttered a chess enthusiast as his opponent pondered the next move on a board balanced across a bench. About six million Russians take chess seriously and there's a growing feeling among them that Fischer has become downright insulting. "This is chess, not baseball," said one chess fan. "Fischer's no sportsman." There was only praise for Boris Spassky, the Russian world champion who has waited patiently in Reykjavik as Fischer caused delay after delay over his demands for more money, for better lighting and, at last report, for the removal of film cameras from the match site.

It was Fischer's self-confidence, his individuality and his public claim to being the world's best chess player that captured the Russians' imagination. Legion Baseball Postponed The American Legion baseball game that was to have been played Friday night between Post 4 and Aiken at Mirmow Field had to be postponed because of rain. According to a team spokesman the game has been rescheduled for Sunday afternoon at 3:30 here in Orangeburg. Palmer, Blalock In Lead MASHPEE, Mass. (AP) -Sandra Palmer and Janie Blalock teamed for a sizzling eight-under par 64 for the opening round lead Friday in the $20,000 Angelo's Ladies Professional Golf Association four-ball Championship at the Country Club of New Seabury.

Miss Palmer collected five birdies while Miss Blalock, who now calls New Seabury her home course, contributed three as the tournament, shortened to 36 holes because of rain Thursday, began.

Thirty-three teams played in overcast weather and fog that rolled in off the ocean. Defending champions Kathy Whitworth and Judy Kimball were well back after teaming for a three-over par 75. The final 18 holes are scheduled for Saturday. Thompson Wins Golf At Raleigh RALEIGH (AP) Club pro Gene Thompson of Salisbury won the $16,000 Carolinas Open Golf Tournament Friday when he captured the second hole of a sudden death playoff with touring pro Bobby Mitchell.
