The Transcript Tuesday, July IT, 1972-1 9 Ilcuians vhip Uliito Cox l-ayfiard Psrn charged with "kid stuff" pitching 9- 1 1 By BRUCE LOWITT Associated Press Sports Writer The rest of the nation may be into the. "dry. but. as far as Chicago Manager Chuck Tanner is concerned, Gavlord Perrv of the Cleveland Indians still digs greasy kid stuff. 1 "Listen, I respect any manager who's -trying to win and that's what Tanner is trying to do," Perry said after spinning -a four-hitter for his 14th victory of the season, a 2-1 triumph over the White Sox Monday night which Tanner protested.

In other American League Kansas City edged Baltimore Detroit defeated Texas 8-3, Minnesota -blizted Milwaukee 8-1, California nipped -the New York Yankees 4-3 and Boston bear Oakland 4-2. In the abbreviated National League schedule, San Francisco turned back the New York Mets 5-4, Montreal beat San Diego 6-3 and, in a twinight doubleheader, Los Angeles beat Philadelphia 6-4 in 11 innings before the, Phillies won the nightcap 9-1. Perry, who tied Detroit's Mickey Lolich as the winningest pitcher in the majors this season with a little help i t- irwiii nuvney vuuoui, nun uas never admitted to putting anything on the baseball except spin, spin. 1, At one time or another, an awful lot of -batters have said Perry's pitches have-more spit than spin or some other illegal substance. Tanner insists -it's grease.

And he was so sure of it Monday night that, after 2 innings, he told plate I umpire Bill Haller he was playing the game under protest. Tanner' privilege to protest if he wants, and that's what I told him on the field," Haller explained. "It's a matter of judgment and in my judge ment, Perry wasn't doing anything illegal." But Tanner had different ideas. "If we don't win the protest," he fumed, "Perry will be allowed to use his grease ball all the time. And if he is, everybody else will be allowed to do the same.

There'll be a rush on the market for the jelly he uses." 4 Graig Nettles' sacrifice fly gave the Indians their first run in the first inning, then Ron Lolich provided what proved to be the winner in the fourth with his first major league home run. The White Sox picked up an unearned run in the sixth. Rookie Texas pitcher Don. Stanhouse couldn't believe what happened to him. The Tigers, en route to taking over sole' possession of first place in the East, pounded him for seven of their eight runs in the first three innings.

Was he that bad or was Detroit that good, someone asked. "I don't know," Stanhouse said, shaking his head in disbelief," I just don't know." Norm Cash belted two home runs and Jim Northrup added one for the Tigers while Don Mincher hit the 200th of his career and Hal King also had one for the Rangers. Mike Cuellar, cruising along with a four-hitter, was just one out away from helping the Orioles to snap a four-game losing spin. But he yielded a bloop single to Richie Scheinblum, then Lou Piniella crashed his eighth home run of the year -to power the Royals to victory. Bob Darwin slammed the first grand -slam of his career his 10th homer of the season to lead Minnesota's 12-hit assault against Milwaukee.

Jim Perry and Dave LaRoche teamed to scatter seven Brewers hits. Clyde Wright scattered eight hits while Ken McMullen smacked a homer and Ken Berry added a double and two singles to carry the Angels past the Yanks. Rico Petrocelli's eighth homer of the year, in the eighth inning and Dick Miller's insurance-run single in the ninth catapulted the Red So to their 10th victory in 13 games and kept the A's from their SVfc-game West Division lead over the White Sox. j.

Owens sent up pinch hitter Joe Lis who singled. Plus one for the new manager.

Last-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's sports hall.

Fischer is the first foreigner to make it to the finals since 1948. v- For Fischer, it is a question of money and personal prestige, of proving his claim that he is the best in the world.

The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125, plus another $75,000 of the $120,000 provided by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischerto end his holdout last week.

Organizers calculate Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 from the sale of television and film rights. Both players stayed in seculsion.
