Bannister Wins Decathlon Trials EUGENE, Ore.

The world mark is 4:04:19.9 by Peter Selzer of East Germany. The 31-mile walk started inside Hayward Field and then the field of 24 entrants followed a path through this Western Oregon city, winding up back in the stadium.

Rader took second on the throw to the plate and moved to third after Al Gallaher's fly to deep center. He scored the decisive run on Tito Fuentes' sacrifice fly to center. KANSAS CITY (AP) Roger Nelson, in his second American League start since moving out of the bullpen for Kansas City, made a first-inning run stand with a four-hitter, shutting out the Detroit Tigers 1-0 Tuesday night.

The Royals picked up the only run Nelson, 2-2, needed with one out in the first against rookie Bill Slayback who led to his own downfall with a throwing error. Amos Otis beat out a bunt and stole his 12th base. One out later Richie Scheinblum walked and John Mayberry lashed a line drive off Slayback's glove for a single. When Slayback threw past first on the play, Otis came home with the decisive run. Nelson, who had a string of 22 straight scoreless baseball innings broken in his first start, a 2-0 loss to Minnesota last Friday, walked only one and struck out four.

The Royals' right-hander escaped his biggest jam in the fourth when the Tigers loaded the bases on two-out singles by Bill Freehan and Norm Cash and a walk to Willie Horton. Nelson got Mickey Stanley on a tap to the mound to end the threat. The Royals, who have won eight of thefr last 11 games, left nine runners against Slayback, 1-2.

The argument was settled Monday when British financier James Slater offered to sweeten an already record pot with a donation of 50,000 British pounds about $130,000. Fischer said he would play. The Russians said Tuesday that Fischer had violated the rules of the match.
