SPASSKTS MOVE HE WALKS OUT The words were black and bold and from an unexpected source.

Rape and murder and all the crookedness of Fun City had been pushed inside with the Trea Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk, currently wagering a strong All-Star write-in campaign, is highly-regarded by Baltimore manager Earl Weaver, who will skipper the A.L.

Chess had commandeered the front page and the big headlines.

"How about that?" chess shop proprietor Bill Luko-wiak said yesterday. "For an intellectual sport like chess to cover the front page of the New York Daily News to cover the whole front page is about as wild as you could imagine. Inil hnnr ahnut all From Caribou to Cranston, they're undoubtedly asking the same question: "What got into Carlton Fisk?" From being the least regarded of three contenders for the catching job on the Red Sox, he has just taken over, hitting and fielding like no Red Sox receiver has since Sammy White. People want to know where he's been all their lives. "What people don't realize," he explained, "is that this is not the most important year in my career.

Last year was. I learned something every day in Louisville from Darrell Moment of EUGENE, Ore. The Saga of Jim Ryun may reach "The End," or it may provide America with another Cinderella story today. The world record holder in the 1500-meter run takes on six other metric milers this evening in a quarterfinal heat at the US Olympic trials. opener for Ferguson Jenkins.

Jenkins raised his re-split with a six-hitter in the nightcap, with Mike Lum delivering the winning run with a fifth-inning homer. Niekro, who struck out seven batters and walked none, is 8-7. Willie Davis hit a three-run double in the second inning to climax a four-run rally that carried Los Angeles to its first victory in its last six games. Claude Osteen, although touched for a three-run homer by Montreal's Clyde Mashore in the second inning, went the distance to boost his record to 8-6. vying with the Democratic National Convention for time.

Chess finally is real. It's on the screen. "In this day, you're not real until you're on television and now, all of a sudden, chess finally is real." Indeed, it If reality is he would probably select three catchers to the team. Asked if Fisk would be among them, Weaver said, "Fm not going to say he definitely will be selected, but you can quote me as saying he has an excellent chance of making the team." CLIF KEANE JIM RYUN Bacardi dark rum for what? Enjoy it with cola or your favorite mixer, like ginger ale. And use it like whiskey in Manhattans, Sours, soda, water or on the rocks.

(Dan Goshtigian photo) Pulse quickens on Robertson's bat Ryun recently told friends he would quit track for good if he did not qualify for the US team in the 1500.

He previously ran fourth in the 800 here, failing to make the team, despite an excellent time of 1:45.2. Four men in each heat of the 1500 this evening will qualify for tomorrow's semifinals. Ryun is the only contestant in the third heat who has cracked 3:40 this season and is heavily favored to advance. The semifinals may be another story. Jerome Howe of Kansas State, the AAU champ; Dave Wottle, the NCAA king; and others, including Tom Von Ruden, Howell Michael and Bob Wheeler, are expected to be opponents of the former Kansas flash.

Also this evening, Rod Milburn is hoping to break the world record in the 110-meter high hurdles. "That record will go the first time I step on that track," siad Milburn. "That's the fastest track in the world and I want to set the record as soon as possible and get it out of the way." Pittsburgh was trailing, 4-1, in the fourth inning when Willie Stargell and Al Oliver hit consecutive singles. Manny Sanguillen drove them both home with a long double, and Robertson followed with his fifth homer of the year. Roberto Clemente provided an insurance run with his eighth homer in the fifth.

The Cubs, shut out on three hits by rookie Ron Schueler over the first seven innings, took advantage of an error by Atlanta, third baseman Darrell Evans to score four runs in the eighth and win the (TT chess has become as real as the stain on your tie, the hangnail on your left index finger. The media world hangs on every move of this world championship meeting between strange Bobby Fischer and the villainous Russian in the. wilds of Iceland. Is it on? Is it off? Frank Sinatra never courted Mia Farrow, Jackie never married Ari, Albert Scopes never taught that we all came from monkeys with any less fanfare. Fischer has pumped the event with public relations wildness that must make Muhammad Ali smile.

Spassky has been beautiful, far better than your basic George Chuvalo heavy. He has added his own degree of sombre petulance to the affair. Is it on? Is it off? The chess world has invaded the outside world. Finally. "That's why we're here," Bill Lukowiak explained, pointing around his shop at 335 Newbury st.

"We moved here in April from a place down the street. "Here we have more tables, more room. We're ready. We this. That's why we expanded." The room contained 40 tables, 40 timers, the chance for 80 players to be involved at once at 50 cents for the first hour, 35 cents an hour afterwards.

A boutique shop sold chess sets (from $3 to $400) and a variety of books that included dusty tcmet that could give the addict every move of every major game Spassky and Fischer have played. For free, the addict could read all the big headlines and stories pasted on the wall across from the two men's rooms don't get many women and could get a lot of talk about the big match. "That's all anyone seems to be talking about around here these days," Lukowiak said as four different matches quietly clicked along. "Just about everyone is rooting for Fischer. "He's the new player we've been waiting for.

We've been waiting for this match since 1957. What's that, 15 years? We've been waiting for Bobby Fischer to play the Russians for 15 years." Lukowiak, 29 years old and rated as an expert player, thinks Fischer's histrionics have been misinterpreted. He said the holdout for more money was a solid move. He said the fear of the Russians bugging rooms and poisoning food was far from paranoia. He said the Russians would do it.

United Press International If ever Bob Robertson needed inspiration to snap out of his batting slump, it was delivered to him recently by his friendly postman. "I've been receiving a lot of mail from fans with all kinds of suggestions," the Pirates' infielder said last night. "The eye doctor sent me a letter offering to examine my eyes, I've received two St. Christopher's medals and the usual four-leaf clovers. "But the one that got me was when someone sent me a real rabbit's foot through the maiL' Robertson has been receiving a lot of teasing over his anemic batting average .150 before last night's game at Houston but he provided the game-winning blow with a two-run homer in the fourth inning as Pittsburgh whipped the Astros, 6-4.

"I can't really tell if I'm out of my slump or not," said Robertson, who also homered in a winning effort against the Cubs Sunday. "I just go day to Things happen and you know what you're doing wrong on that particular day. You try to forget the past and you've got to try to keep your head up.

The victory enabled Pittsburgh to stretch its first-place lead in the National League East to 1 games over the Mets, whose game with San Diego was postponed by rain.

Elsewhere, Chicago and Atlanta split a double-header, the Cubs taking the opener, 4-1, and the Braves winning the second game, 3-2; and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Montreal Expos, 7-3.

"This title mean a lot to them, more than the people of this country seem to understand," Lukwiak said.

"This is the classic match between American individualism and the Soviet system, and the Russians don't want to lose. "Everything Fischer had done has been smart. Although. Although what?
