"You get tired of working at ft so hard and watching it keep on going downhill," I till reached his peak tn 19t9 when he won Itiree tournament, finished second on the money list with $156,423, won a spot on the Ryder Cup team and captured the.covcted Car-dun Trophy for the lowest stroke average on the tour. Hut he slipped to $118,415 the following year, winning one tournament, then Went to $61,410 and no victories last year.

He played tn the Greater Hartford Open on Labor Day weekend and didn't tee up again in this country uij-til last week's Glen Campbell Los Angeles Open. "I didn't touch a club for almost four months," Hill said. "Just sat home and played cards and drank whiskey. Had a grand time." What prompted his return to the tour? Td been home long enough. I just had to.

get out of the house for a while." Hill has been one of the game's stormiest, most outspoken, controversial citizens. He has been fined countless times and taken part in some of the biggest squabbles in recent years. jist year he drew a $500 fine and a year's probation for "conduct unbecoming a professional golfer," after pocritical Russians."

On the desk are the tools of his trade, the tools of his single passion, the tools that, as the New York Times music critic has written, Fischer employs with a genius that is as unique as Beethoven's; on the desk Is a chess board.

Curtains were drawn. No lights on except for the one from the bathroom. "Sorry." said Fischer, to his expected visitor, just got up a few minutes ago. Be with you right away." He padded back to the bathroom, closed the door. Pitch black.

The visitor stood for a surprised moment in the darkness, then fumbled along the wall for the light switch. Mysterious and controversial, famous and infamous, one-time child prodigy and current U.S. chess champion, Bobby Fischer lives in hotel rooms. He has no permenent residence.

"Like the All-Frazier fight, though I don't approve of boxing; I think it's immoral." He said, though, that he admires Ati as an athlete. Which other athletes does he admire? "I don't fotlow sports much, except when It's news like Lee Trevino, when he won these Opens and was on the covers of Time and Newsweek. Hut I like Willie Mays a lot.

Like his basket catch. He gives all he's got. He's not one of those sluggards. He loves the game." "I grew up in Brooklyn, was a Dodger fan. I liked Don Newcombe because he was a good hitter.

He wasn't satisfied with being only a good pitcher, like most pitchers. "I like Joe Namath. I think hes got class. He sacrifices himself. A champion needs that.

"Too many times, people don't try their best. They don't have the keen spirit, the winning spirit.

"I don't want to leak anything to the Russians." His fingers are long and he jabs a piece down, making the others twitch. He was also proud of the chess set.

Look at these pieces," he said. "Smooth and light, no hard edges, beautifully carved. The best set for playing that I've ever seen. Here, feel this knight." He talked about chess as a sport. "Sure, it's a sport," he said.

And when newspapers put it in entertainment and arts sections, that's downgrading chess, completely out of place." You've got to beln top condition to play chess. You have. to concentarte in a tournament for five hours at a time, day after day. When theres an adjournment, you've got to stay up late analyzing strategy. The tension and the need for stamina are brutal.

One mental lapse and youve through. Thats why a lot of great chess players are over the hill by 40. Too old for the strain. Spassky even has a physical trainer. I do my own physical conditioning.
