Bobby Fischer has made a strategic move similar to castling and the world -chess championship hasn't even begun yet. In addition to making a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky today, Fischer's entire moves for the past month have brought more attention to the world chess championship than Red China did to ping pong. Look Out For Dave In Canada FORT ERIE, Ont. (API "Lockout for me tWS week." Dave Eichelberger admitted he was only half-kidding when he served the warning prior to teeing off today in the' first round of the $150,000 Canadian Open goll Championship. Eichelberger bolted out of obscurity with his first tour victory and more than $100,000 in winnings last season, but has had his problems this year.

But, in characteristic fashion, he shuns the esoteric, deeply technical explanations favored by many of his fellow pros when talking of his troublesT" "I'd just been hitting it crooked. That's the trouble," -said the 29-year-old Eichelberger, a tee tucked into its usual place behind his ear. 'That's all that's been wrdng. I didn't know where it was going to go. I wasn't hitting but maybe 10 greens a round.

And that just don't get it done." "But I'm playing a little bet- ter now. A lot better in the last couple of weeks I've got it to where I'm hitting, oh, 12 or 13 greens almost every "No, tealTyTrk playing better now. Ready to make my move. Gettin' ready to defend." That would bejin the Mil- waukee open, next week. He won the event opposite the British Open last year for his first triumph in five years on the tour and used it as a springboard to a $107,000 season: Though he played well early in the year, Eichelberger has had his troubles this season with only $30,000 in winnings.

Heretofore a game played by stiff -lips in an air of dignity akin to the atmosphere of a funeral parlor, Fischer has run up a flag with dollar signs on it. In his apology, he repented for his "disrespectful behavior" saying 'I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers." Jf.the. drawing-goes without incident tonight, Fischer, and Spassky will r--- AP Wirephoto WINNER-Billy Jean King of Long Beech, California, makes a return to Rosemary Casals of San Francisco, during theirjemi-final match of the Women's Singles at theAll England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, July 5. Mrs. King won 6-2, 6-4.

"Forget about looking it up," advised Stange, who has seen his share of pitchers eaten alive by the close -in left field wall, they call the Green Monster "at Fenway. "It probably never happened before. Not in this ball park anyway." The Red Sox have forgotten about their bullpen since last Saturday. Since then, they've started five different pitchers and gotten five straight complete game victories which is about as good as a pitching staff can do. Pattin's victory was the second consecutive shutout in the string, following Lynn McGlothen's three-hitter against the Twins Tuesday.

The other route-going efforts in the string belong to Ray Gulp, John Curtis and Luis Tiant. Elsewhere in the American League Wednesday, Baltimore blanked Chicago 1-0, Kansas City trimmed Detroit 8-2, NewYork downed Oakland 4-1 and California the quarter-finals. Nastase, the No. 2 seed, Kodes and Orantes all are clay court performers. But they played throughout the winter on indoor wood -surfaces which are as fast as Wimbledon's grass and have sharpened their game to such an extent that they are making the strongest European challenge here in years.

On Wednesday, Billie Jean King of Long Beach, and Evonne Goolagong, the defending champion from Australia, reached the women's final. pi Army Corporal, and Hie Nastase, Romanian Army lieutenant, went into separate battles today for places in the men's singles final of the Durocher Still Mead At Braves Ground Crew Wimbledon Tennis Tournament. Smith, seeded No. 1 was counting his powerful serve in his semifinal match against Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia. Nastase, with his rapier-like volleys and lightning maneuvers, opposed Spain's Manuel Orantes in the other semifinal.

The 26-year-old Smith from Pasadena, seems to have reached his peak at the right, moment. After struggling early in the tourney on Wimbledon's lush grass, he had a convincing 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 victory Alex Met-reveli of the Soviet Union in Sports Editor FISCHER fTTV" ....1 NATIONAL LEAGUE BATTING (165 ai bats) Ce deno, Htn, Poh. .333.

With the pitching staff coming through so well, the Red Sox have won six straight games and eight of the last nine.

The streak has mooted Boston into third place inlhe American League- East, five games back of division-leading Baltimore. The Sox nicked Jim Perry, 6-8, for a second inning run on Carlton Fisk's double, a ild pitch and Bob Burda's sacrifice got thfcir-other run in the eighth when Tommy Harper was hit by a pitch, stole second and Ode home on Carl Yastrzemski's third hit of the game.

The Royals bunched Fred Patek, Amos Otis, Richie Scheinblum and John Mayberry plus an error t.fjy Paul Jata to take a quick lead.

Then they kayoed with three more Tuns in the sixth. The Tiger ace allowed 10 hits and was disgusted with his performance. Nolan Ryan hurled his eighth complete game of the season and fourth straight, pitching California past Milwaukee. MONROE'S GROCERY ST. BETHLEHEM AMOCO 1o 'Hi no runcKiSE CCEESSiJiT JUST CZZl it at the chess table Sundaynight for their first game "in ReykjavikrlceiandT Chess is a grand old game dating back to the early days of India when, as Uie legend goes, a couple of old tiring Maharajahs thought of the game as a way to settle their differences.

It was better. than carving each other up with knives. The name was derived from the Persian word "shah" and it is a descendant of the game Chaturanga, which is referred to during the Middle Persian Karnamak (c. 590-628). The game went to Britain in about 1255.

The Federation Internationale des Echecs was established in 1924. In Russia alone there is reputed to be five million active players-which is why they are so important on the international chess scene. World champions weren't recognized until 143 but some of the Babe Ruths and Mickey Mantles of the game include Francois Andre Danican, alias Philidor, of France, who claimed the world championship from J747 to 1795. Wilhelm Steinitz held the title for 28 years. The Austrian beat out Dr.

Emanuel Lasker of Germany who was champ for 27 years. Paul Charles Morphy of New Orleans was the youngest world champion, winning the title in 1858 at age 21. Yes, women libbers, there are a few gals who won the title. Russia YelizavetaJBykova won in 1953, 1958 and 1960. The team championship, of course, has been won by Russia 11 times since 1952.

Vi And here is one last little interesting fact about the game. The most protracted chess game on record was one drawn on the 191st move between H. Pilnik (Argentina) and Moshe Czerniak (Israel) at Mar del Plata, Argentian in April 1950. They played 20 hours. There was a game of 21:30, but drawn on the 171st move (average 7Vi minutes per move).

And there was a 221 move game in 1969; but it took only 4:25 to play.

Durocher fetailiated "by refusing to make available to the press box his starting lineups for both games of a twi-night doubleheader Wednesday, one a makeup of the Tuesday game that was called in the eighth inning with Cubs at first and third, nobody out atid the score tied 3-3.
