A suit that fits perfectly in the one style you really want but can't find anywhere else. And each customer wants something different. At English Scotch we specia Chess niaslers stalemate over monev, not moves The ultimate idiocy of inflationary practices ia sports salaries is demonstrated by Bobby Fischer's holdout for $101,000 before he agreed to play chess with Boris Spassky, the marvellous Muscovite. WTiat the hell is the world coming to, when a couple of chess-players can compete for a total purse of The world has lost all sense of values when you consider, by way of contrast, that Dr.

Joseph E. Salk received a congratulatory handshake when he saved millions of young lives by perfecting a polio vaccine in 1953. Yet, we have the incredible spectacle of our Canadian daily newspapers giving front-page display to Fischer's butt-dragging progress from New York to Iceland. Sweet suffering Susie! Fig-For-Dacger Fischer and Strangler Spassky have chased Bobby Hull and Benny Hatskin right off page one. Chess, eh? Well, there's a really exciting sporting event for you! They're going to put the Fischer-Spassky slumber-fest on international television.

They'd attract a much larger international TV audience if they moved their cameras to some waterfront tavern and waited for an impromptu hair-pulling bout, involving a couple of old gin-soaked doxies. Hi, there, Abe Yanofsky, onetime child chess wizard from Winnipeg! You were born 30 years too early. Only an utter slob would deny that chess is a great game. It is an intellectual pastime which demands massive mental concentration, skill and cunning. It is, too, a universally played game which is quite as popular in the Orient as it is in the Western world.

Yes, it is internationally popular but, up until now, chess seldom has generated great box office appeal. And, this is the first occasion in history that a chess player has held out for a payoff of $104,000 before he was prepared to his clock cleaned. Obviously, someone has smartened-up these international chess masters. Obviously, someone has convinced them that they were suckers, if they played simply for their love of the game. Someone has convinced them that, belatedly, they should clamber aboard the rich gravy-train.

Is it possible that Bobby Fischer has been taken in tow by one of those agents who have become conspicuous in the North American sporting scene within the past decade? Is it possible that Bobby Fischer has retained the services of Arnold Eaglerock, the Toronto lawyer, who controls the financial destinies of a passel of clients, including hockey players, football players and the nude chef at the Mynah Bird, a Toronto bistro? Since Mr. Eaglerock has liberated all the downtrodden hockey and football players, he must be planning missionary work in other fertile fields. Accordingly, your inquisitive reporter made a telephone call to the busy legal eagle, to ascertain whether he is a party to Bobby Fischer's salary demands. "I haven't even met Mr. Fischer," Eaglerock replied stiffly, when the question was put to him.

"However, it's high time that someone did something about organizing those chess players. They have been exploited scandalously by the tournament promoters. The very thought of it makes my blood boil like a retort of sulphuric acid on a Bunsen burner." "Are you going to do anything about it, Arnold, baby?" the reporter asked hopefully. "Well, I've had my investigative staff doing a bit of research work on the possibility of organizing the chess players," Eaglerock admitted briskly. "The chess players really have been getting a bum deal.

You'd be surprised if I told you some of the terrible occupational hazards of their profession." "Occupational hazards" the reporter blurted "What's hazardous about sitting in a chair, in front of a chess board?" "You've named it!" Eaglerock barked triumphantly. "Those chess players must sit in their chairs, hour after hour, while the television cameras watch their every move. All men who play chess for more than 10 years are certain to suffer from clironic constipation. This is the secret tragedy of their sport. Most of them, ultimately, must submit to expensive corrective surgery." The reporter cluck-clucked sympathetically.

"And, we are going to, demand a pension plan for chess players," Arnold Eaglerock said firmly. "Do you realize that the average international chess master is all washed up before he is 70? When their competitive careers are finished, the promoters cast them aside like useless corn husks. We must provide them with dignified comfort in their old age." Come back, Bobby Hull! Come back, Benny Hatskin! Never again will we complain if hockey news is splashed all over page one. Open Thursdays and Fridays till 9 P.M.

I know he got $l-mil-lion from the WHA and whatever else you say.

If he's that good, then the money is not enough. "I don't have a manager," Pele added. "I make my own deals and if I had been Mr. Hull I would have asked for twice the amount he is getting." Pele, in Toronto to play with Santos of Brazil Wednesday night in an exhibition game against Toronto Metros of the North American Soccer League, declined to say how much he earns. "Sure, I turned down a $2-million offer from Inter Milan and Mexico but money isn't everything," Pele said.

"I hate discussing money. Everywhere I go people want to know how much I earn. I'm more interested in promoting soccer." pi FLOORS Most Norseman tents feature double-coated nylon floors, which are waterproof and tough enough to withstand the assaults of rocks and twigs.
