Mays was rewarded with 20 cakes prior to the San Francisco-Las Angeles contest Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, then Marichal went out anc starved the Dodgers on seven htts in a 9-1 Giants romp. The triumph continued Marl- dial's spellbinding successes against his Los Angeles cous- ins, has Your Move A (API Grandmasters Bobby Fischer of the United States and Mark raimanov of the Soviet Union adjourned Tuesday night the fourth game in their world chess quarter-final zlimination match. At adjournment on the 41st move, Fischer held a slight positional advantage. Taimanov had asked postponement of Sunday's game because of illness.

Fischer leads the 10-game match 3-. The winner of the match must score points to advance in the candidates' series to pick a challenger for world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. The now Dodger-killing dandy mastered them 36 in the National New York Mets the Philadelphia times in 49 career decisions. His mastery is so complete, in fact, that he must endure the scorn of the usually-placid Dodger audience. Marichal, who pitched a 1-0 beauty against Los Angeles at Candlestock Park on May 15, said he received letters from Dodger fans saying the wind was the only reason he won there.

Elsewhere League, the i Phillies 5-4 in 12 innings; the Houston Astros stopped the San Diego Padres 3-2; the Montreal Expos edged the Atlanta Braves 3-2; the St. Louis Cardinals bounced the Chicago Cubs 4-2 and the Cincinnati Reds turned back the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-4. In the American League, it was Washington 6, Boston 5 in 11 innings; Minnesota 8, Milwaukee Detroit 7, New York Kansas City 8, Chicago 3 and Oakland 7, California 5 in 13 innings. Rain washed out Cleveland at Baltimore. Marichal, who has a history of pitching his best against the Dodger aces, beat Bill Singer the second time in two weeks.

Bullet BUI, blasted out by a six-run sixth inning that included a three-run homer by Marl chal, is off to the worst start of his career with a 2-9 record. LOS Angeles Manager Walt Alston said he still has no intention of taking him out of the starting rotation despite the statistics. Bob Aspromonte drilled a Jim Bunning offering into the right field corner to score the winning run for New York in the bottom of the 12th. Donn Clendenon roared home from second base on the two-out single. Tim Foil reached first on an infield error to open the inning.

Tommie Ageo walked and was forced at second by Clendenon, as Foli took third. Foil was caught at home on Cleon Jones' grounder to shortstop Larry Bowa, but then Aspromonte delivered the game-winner. Johnny Edwards brought Houston from behind with a three-run homer in the seventh inning. Clay Kirby had a 2-0 cushion and was working on a one-hitter when John Mayberry singled and rode to third on Norm Miller's double. Edwards then ripped a two-out homer, his first of the year.

Fred Gladding pitched a scoreless ninth inning for Houston, although rapped for a double and infield single, to preserve starter Jack Billingham's first victory since April 18. Ron Swoboda's bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning Rozetle Trying To Avoid Feud With Canadian League By MIKE RECIIT Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK JAP) Commissioner Pete Rozcllc, trying to avoid an open conflict between his National Football League and the Canadian Football League, prepared today to take the Greg Barton case to the CFL for discussion. "We have compiled the information on the case and we plan to talk to the CFL," he said after meeting of NFL owners Tuesday. "I don't know what the chances getting Bar- 'ton bock until I talk to them." Rozelle is trying to put out a spark that has raised talk of war between the leagues. The spark is Barton, an obscure quarterback with Detroit who suddenly becamsc a cause ce- lebre when he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, apparently agreed to sign with the Eagles and then was spirited away by the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

"If we do have any evidence Toronto tampered by talking to Barton before he played out his option we would prefer to give it to them the CFL1 first," Rozelle said. "We have no contractual agreement with the CFL, only an oral agreement against tampering, but both sides would prefer to avoid a bad situation. If wo have evidence, I would hope that they CFL) would abide yb it." Meanwhile, Coach Jerry Williams of the Eagles, hard- pressed for a quarterback after trading Norm Sncad the same week lie thought he had acquired Barton, talked about a possible war between the leagues.

(Cobre Photo) Rangers Deal Away Captain By PAT THOMPSON Associated Press Snorts Writer PAUL.M1NNEAPOL1S PI Right winger Bob Nevin was headed today from the New York Rangers to the Minnesota North Stars, who squeezed by the National Hockey League's midnight trading deadline with their third deal in four days. In return for the 33-year-old Ranger captain, the North Stars will deliver a Minnesota player to be named at the conclusion of the NHL draft early next month at Montreal. "I've been trying to deal for right winger ever since Christmas," said Wren Blair, North Star general manager, "and am awfully happy to land a big and strong forward who comes back just as hard as he goes down the ice." The 6-foot, 190-pound Nevin scored 21 goals and 25 assists for the Rangers, who like the North Stars advanced into the Stanley Cup quarter-finals this spring before bowing out. Nevin, who has scored 221 goals and 395 assists in 12 NHL seasons with Toronto and New York, added five goals anc three assists in the playoffs against Chicago and Toronto. The North Stars traded minor league centers Walt McKechnie and joey Johnston to alifornia Saturday for fiery center Dannis Hextall.

Then, they added Minnesota- born Gary Gambucci, an amateur, and Bob Paradise, a minor league defenseman, from Montreal for cash and a switch in positions in the amateur draft. But Gambucci, 24-year-old star of the U.S. National hock, ey team, told The Associated Press Tuesday his present plans are to play in the 1972 Winter Olympics in Japan.

RETRACTABLE BLADE- PUSH BUTTON ACTION BE Hardware Downtown Bayard Continuation of last weeks sell out New Shipment Just Arrived Oil Of Oloy $1.99 RX Fee System Pharmacy 1415 Silver Heights Blvd. By D. BYRON YAKE Associated Press Writer PITTSBURGH (API Joe Spagnola-Spaghetti Joe, they call him-is the Pittsburgh fourth quarterback for he time being, a spot he likens to the proverbial fifth wheel.

"It's a bummer," said the 185-pounder who was signed by the Steelers as a free agent this year after he went unselected In the National Football League draft. "I feel like I've been rejected." Spagnola, who immigrated here with his parents from Maples, Italy, when he was nine, became quarterback at Arizona State after the third game of his sophomore year. For a man not used to taking a backseat, Spagnola knows he faces some tough competition in the likes of quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty; as well as Bob Leahy, who spent last season with the club's cab squad. "I dont want to be on a taxi Spagnola said last week during a three-day seminar for Steeler rookies. "If that happens I might ask them (the Steelersl for permission to try out with another club.

Spagnola signed with the Steelers in desperation, but two days later he got a call from Kansas City, later from a Canadian Pro team. Now he admits he may have signed too quickly. "I was worried nobody else would ask me," he said. "I think with weight work I can be as good as anybody. Bui Bradshaw is so good.

I can tell just the way he throws the ball. He rifles them." At Arizona State, Spagnola threw 35 career touchdowns, about 23 of them to J.D. Hill, top draft choice of the Buffalo Bills. Running backs Mike Brunson and Art Malone, both drafted in 1970 by Atlanta, played for the Sun Devils while Spagnola was quarterback. Then there was Steve Holden, a flanker back who ran a 9,6, compared to Hill's 9.3, in the 100-yard dash.

In a way, Spagnola was a shadow then, like he is with the Steelers. "Yeah, I guess you could say that," he admitted. "But I got my share of ink. I cant complain." Will Play For NBA HOUSTON (AP) The Big Elvin Hayes, who helped set a A basketball record, arrived Tuesday to start preparations for another. It was Hayes, then playing for the University of Houston, who helpBd draw' crowd of Astrodome in 1968 when the Cougars took on the undefeated UCLA led by Lew Alcindor.

Hayes, now with the San Diego Rockets of the National Basketball Association, and Alcindor, with the Milwaukee Bucks, will be on the same side here Friday night when the NBA All-Stars take on the top players from the American Basketball Association in the first meeting between the two leagues. Hayes came in early in an attempt to help boost the slow- selling tickets. So far, Astrodome officials say, only about 8,000 have been bought. The players of the two leagues are playing the game in defiance of the club owners to show that a merger of the two leagues, now being sought, is not necessary for the leagues to compete. The players do not want.

to see an end to the bidding war for player talent, which would occur with a merger. If the leagues merge, since the players have started the all-star game, they might have a strong say in controlling it thereafter.
