BOATING, SPORTS LEISURE, A.21.24.-:fl Dobton Sunday Clobo February 20, 1972 Bruins siort-circuit 54 Star s9 By Tom Fitzgerald, Globe Staff The Bruins really broke the game open as Sanderson and Orr scored the two short-handed goals, in a space of 57 seconds, while Dallas Smith was serving a holding penalty. On the first of these, Westfall fed out of a corner to BLOOMINGTON, Minn. Even when they are playing with a handicap, the Bruins tend, to be a little too good for the opposition as they proved, last night in their 6-4 win over the North Stars. The most significant development in this sixth Sandy whose bouncing shot trickled off Worslcy's pud. straight unbeaten game for the Boston team was a pair missed one shift but later came back with a changed alignment that had Cashman at left wing and Leach at right.

The report from Boston dressing room was that Espie had the wind knocked out of him. The North Stars kept coming back and narrowed the margin to 4 to 3 early in the last period. At 15:33 in the second, Nevin finished oil a pass from a corner by Parise, and at 5:21 in the third, Goldsworthy scored on a power play; jamming one in low between Cheevers' left pad and the post. On a penalty to Oliver, Stanfield got one back on the power play at 9:53, shooting from the left boards high into the far corner over Worslcy's shoulder. There was added insurance at 14:44 as McKenzie got off on a good set-up from Bailey, subbing for Bucyk.

Cheevers and Bailey were both down in the crease later as Burns put a shot over them at 16:36. Summary in Scoreboard of short-handed goals by Derek Sanderson and Bobby Orr in a space of only 57 seconds in the second period. There was a great deal more action than that later, but the rapid double gave the necessary lift. for the Bruins; who beefed up their East Division margin of leadership over New York to nine points. The other was a minor classic which would be nice to have 'in a videotape collection.

Orr took off after blocking a Mohn's shot with his shin pads. Going up, Bobby passed to Sanderson, and then after faking a shot, Derek put it across to Orr who had a wide-open net at the goalie's right for his finish at 13:33. These were the 12th and 13th short-handed goals Sanderson's goal in that outbreak ibis second for the Bruins this season, and the second time they of the game and the stylish center was chosen as the have scored two on a single penalty.

Mullins wound up as the games' top scorer with 23 points, and he got plenty of help from Thurmond (2G) and Russell (20). White and John Havlicek shared honors for the losers with 26 points each, followed by Cowens who had 20 points and 19 rebounds. The Celtics took a 12-point lead, 38-26, in the first quarter, and then maintained it by playing the Warriors even in the second quarter as each team slowed down with 24 points.

The Celtics were able to leave the floor at half time with a 62-50 lead, thanks to 18 points contributed by Havlicek up to that time. But the Celtics could not stand prosperity, and their 12-point lead gradually melted away in the third period as Russell, Ellis, and Thurmond paced the comeback by Golden State. Russell finally knotted the score at 73-all midway through the quarter, and the lead see-sawed until Nelson dropped in two free throws to. put the Celtics up, 86-84. The Warriors fought their way back by outscoring the Celtics, 34-24, during the period.

He. hit the strings for five consecutive field goals after Boston had drawn to within three points. After Mullins's sizzling display, the Warriors had upped their lead to seven points, 112-107.

he Celtics battled back, however, on back-to-back baskets by Jo Jo White and. Dave Cowens to narrow the Warriors advantage to a point, 112-111. AH hopes were dashed when Joe Ellis popped in two free throws with a minute left, and Russell added another with a second remaining to wrap it up. The Celtics had jumped in front by four, 86-84, at the beginning of the fourth quarter on two free tosses by White. Then the Warriors ripped off 11 straight points with Nate Thurmond accounting for five of the points, which included a three-pointer to shoot the Warriors into a 95-88 cushion.

1 The Bruins' opening goal of the game was a sudden development at 4:18 of the first period. It was initiated on an alert play by Westfall, who stole' the puckr from Prentice deep in the Minnesota zone. Eddie fed across to Sanderson at the right boards, and from a deep and difficult angle, Turk whipped a half slapshot past Worsley, who may have misjudged the angle of the shot's flight. 1 The North' Stars' offset this in a scrambling situation at 9:18. Nevin brought the puck in from the right side of the net and jammed one at Cheevers.

The Boston goalie was down as Parise got the rebound up over Gerry's body with Awrey making an unavailing effort to keep the puck from crossing the line. The Bruins increased the pressure late in the first period, and capitalized with Westf all's good conversion of an Orr rebound to the left of Worsley at 18:21.

But maybe Moret has come a long way from that game. 'Tknow I don't want him messing around with junk in tough places when I know he can fire the ball through there," said the manager. "He's got the potential to be some pitcher, but right now I rest at saying I expect he will have a good year for us this year. I have him in the starting rotation." Mike Garman who was with Moret in Puerto talked of Moret having a lameness in his shoulder the last week or so. "I know that Regelio complained of a stiffness," said Mike, who signed his contract in the blustery day yesterday.

He also learned to his dismay that the Sox still have another option on him and can farm him. "But as we got near the end of playoffs," said Garman, "the fans in the stands kept screaming for-. Moret and finally he pitched and did well, though he did not throw the ball hard. "I don't know if he's in trouble," said Garman. If Moret is, the Red Sox' can spank' themselves for letting the lefty stay in Puerto Rico as long as they did.

They certainly could have used an excuse to bring Moret to Boston to have his arm examined. "I think Moret got about $3000 a month down there," said Garman. "He's practically a national hero in, Puerto Rico and he's going to be a great pitcher." Right now Kasko has to be shown what Rogelio can do against big-league pitching.

Mike Cuellar, three-time 20-game winner for the was roughed up for a 3-7 record in this winter's Puerto Rican League. Rogelio Moret, the pencil-thin lefthander of the Sox, won 14 and lost one with six shutouts in seven games at one stretch in the same loop. Does that mean Rogelio will be this year's Vida Blue in the American League? i The question -was asked of manager Eddie Kasko yesterday: "What sort of year do you think Moret will give the Red Sox?" His answer: "A good year. I think he will be a good pitcher. Do I think another Vida Blue? I hope so, but I'm not predicting a thing other than I expect a good year from him." This is how Eddie senses what is going on with Moret.

1 5 "Rogelio has just come back from a sensational year in Puerto Rico," he said. "He was down there pitching against men he knew pretty well, natives, and some men he has faced in the minors only a few big leaguers. Rogelio knew, he could get those men out," he said. "He got them out when he was in Louisville. But can he get'out the big leaguers he will face up here all the time? "I hope so," he said.

"1 want to get a good percentage winner on this staff of mine, say a man with a record like 18-6. I think Sonny Siebert is capable of it. I think mabe Rogelio can do it. But I certainly am not stamping Moret as that kind of pitcher yet. ''I think Moret is still at the stage where he needs plenty of help," he said.

"I know of one specific time late last year when Moret didn't follow instructions. "We were playing the Yankees, a tight game. Moret was great. I went to him and said: 'Moret, I don't want you to throw a change-of-pace to either Felipe Alou or Thurmon Munson under any condition, do you understand' and he said he did. I "The Yankees had men on third and second and Alou came up to the plate.

The count was one and two and. I saw this change come and Alou hit it off the fence and we were gone. 'I Went to the mound and said, 'I thought I told you not to throw a change to Alou or Munson' and the kid 'But the count was one and and I didn't know what he was driving at.

DiGregorio hit on 14 of 24 field goal attempts for 23 points, while Barnes made good on 12 cf 18 floor shots in finishing with 27 points. The victory enabled Providence to snap a two-game losing streak. The Friars built a 55-39 halftime advantage and then rolled to their 16th triumph in 20 starts.

Russian chess players are better than Russian Olympic hockey players. Seven different Russians have held the world title consecutively since 1948. An American has never held it, since it was officially created in 1866, although Paul Morphy 1837-84) was preeminent.

He gets .67 percent of. most of the take $152,000 from Belgrade, $125,006 from Iceland, plus 60 percent of the TV revenue. These details were supplied by Gisbert Helmreich, proprietor of the Chess Studio, which besides its playing tables has a shop with over 700 chess book titles, and equipment, such as tables, sets and clocks.

Helmreich, who came here from West Germany in 1966 and married to a Boston woman, doesn't know if he can swing it, but that doesn't keep him from dreaming of going to Reykjavik. "Two weeks. How wonderful it would be. As exciting for me a World Series for you. I'd have my own little set with me, and I'd make the moves as they were shown on the big demonstrator board." Waiting for Fischer to move would for a non-chess player.

"That's not a match," said an ignorant interrogator. "That's a whole season." Never will so many people knowing so little about a subject be so deluged with biographies, inside stories, analyses and propaganda as they are going to be in what may be remembered as civilization's Fischer-Spassky Era. Most people know more about the physics of space than they do of chess. But Helmreich protested, "Last year three million chess sets were sold in this country." "I have one," said his interviewer. "Look under the highest pile of dust in my apartment and you'll find it." "It's our fastest growing sport, or hobby," he went on.

"The United States Chess Foundation has 26,000 serious players. Russia, of course, has four million."
