PEEL SAN DIEGO (AP) Gene Littler, who six years ago said he had resigned himself to the fact that he wasn't going to be the world's greatest golfer, isn't resigning himself to the fact that cancer may have ended his professional playing days.

Littler, 41, said a malignant tumor was removed from under his left arm March 15 and now fact that I'm never going to be the greatest," he said in April 1966. "And I don't want to give up what I'd have to play better. I've made a good living from golf and that's all I want from it.

Littler won $98,687 in 20 tournaments last year and is one of the sport's top money winners with more than $800,000 in prizes collected over his career. He said the tumor was discovered during a routine physical examination March 9. doctors want to see if the disease has spread. "It's highly unpredictable," the former winner of the U.S. Open said Monday.

But Littler said a question marks hangs over his 18-year-old career. "There is a good chance it may interfere permanently with my golf, though nobody really knows," he said during an interview. "Nobody has gone through this operation before, then tried to play tournament golf.

I'll be able to play golf again, but the question is, 'can I play tournament Littler, who won the U.S. Open in 1961 and the U.S. Amateur in 1953, is known on the pro tour as a quiet, modest player who keeps his emotions in check and doesn't court the press.

Fischer had until Tuesday to accept or reject the money offer. In a telegram to organizers in Belgrade, Fischer said he would withdraw his objections. However, officials in Belgrade said the match would be cancelled unless Fischer promised not to change his mind again. An official of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) said in Amsterdam Fischer telegraphed match officials in Belgrade asking if they would agree to resume preparations for the June 22-July 18 match. The Belgrade organizers said initially they had no reason to reconsider their decision to cancel preparations for the match but Belgrade chess officials said later the match would go ahead as scheduled if they received assurances from FIDE that Fischer would not change his mind again.

"I think the players are all wrong they are asking far too much," said Carl Scheib, who started with the old Philadelphia Athletics at 16 as a pitcher in 1943 and worked 10 seasons as a major leaguer before winding up his career here in the minors. Arthur "Pinky" Whitney, who spent 13 years as an infielder with the Philadelphia Phillies and the old Boston Braves, said the modern day players "don't know how lucky they've got it.

"They start at something like $20,000 a year and the most I ever made was $14,500. Once I hit something like .340 for the Phillies during the depression and most players accepted cuts so that baseball could survive." Baker, 27 years in the big leagues as a player manager and coach, said both the players and the club owners are at fault, "and I can't feel any sympathy for either side. T'These players are spoiled and they want everything in sight," Baker added. "They've seen to it, at the expense of others, that they have the best pension plan in the world but they want more." Baker, who once made a year as manager of the Detroit Tigers, draws $50 a month from the pension fund but said he could be getting nearly $2,000 monthly "if they hadn't voted a lot of us old-timers out of it." Baker said his pension is based on his time as a coach because of a by-laws change voted by the players that knocked out his years as a player and manager. "They voted us out of that, then turned around and changed the by-laws to make sure that they never can be voted out of any of their time," he said.

Whitney, whose last season was 1939, recalled that in his day, "a player had to put in 10 years to qualify for a lifetime pass for major league games. Now they think they should be able to draw a fortune out of the pension fund after only five years in the majors. They're selfish and none are worth what they make." 46.49 4,48.49 i 48.49 I 50.49 ,1 53.49 I 59.49 I 64.49 i 71.49 I 47.49 An economy tire with four full plies of sturdy nylon cord.
