SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1972 DAILY TIMES-MAIL, BEDFORD, INDIANA PAGE NINE COlS-AND-KUIlltEllS CO MED Saints Coach Plays An Undercover Agent Todays Baseball By TIIE ASSOCIATED PRESS American League East By JERRY ESTILL Associated Press Sports Writer NEW ORLEANS (AP) J. D. Roberts of the New Orleans Saints played undercover agent Friday, but says hes not ready to turn in his coaching whistle for a badge. It was serious business when the Saints head coach, every word being monitored by nearby FBI agents, met with a man trying to sell him a Los Angeles Rams playbook. But for Roberts it also had some elements of a cops-and-robbers comedy.

For one thing, Roberts bumped into a rabid Saints fan in the motel lounge yhere he was supposed to meet the man later identified as Wayne Bos well. The fan insisted on buying the coach round after round of drinks. Two more Scotch and waters and that would have been it, Roberts said, explaining that Boswell was nearly two hours late for their meeting. Boswell and former pro quarterback Karl Sweetan wound up being charged by the FBI with interstate transportation of stolen property and fraud by wire. Sweetan, 29, formerly with the Saints and the Detroit Lions and more recently with the Rams until being cut last year, remained jailed today under $25,000 bond.

Boswell, 31 Sweetans cousin, was held in lieu of $5,000 bond. Both are from Dallas, Tex. U.S. Atty. Gerald Galling-house said a federal grand jury would begin case Monday.

The story began when Roberts notified National Football League headquarters in New York on Wednesday immediately after receiving two telephone calls in quick succession from a woman who said she was calling from Dallas. The FBI was called in and agents instructed Roberts to set up a meeting with the persons trying to sell the playbook, later determined to be a version of Rams secrets used last season. "It was really something to watch those guys work, Roberts said. "When they moved, they moved. They told me exactly what to do.

All I had to do was talk to the guy. National League East L. Pet. G.B. Pittsburgh 46 27 .630 New York 43 30 .589 3 St.

(AP) -Dave Hill, experimenting on at least two counts and not expecting to play at all well, shared the lead going into todays third round in the $150,000 Canadian Open Golf Tournament. For the first time in my life, Im playing without a glove, the wiry, intense veteran said Friday after posting a five-under-par 66 the best round of the day for a 36 hole total of 136.

Hill was tied at 136 with Lou Graham, a Nashville, native who has threatened on at least three occasions this season but is still seeking his first tour victory since 1967. Graham had a second round 69, two under par on the carefully manicured, Cherry Hill Golf Club course.

"And, for the first time in nine years, Im hitting mainly a draw with my irons. For the last nine years Ive tried to fade it. Ive given up on that. With all the experimenting, plus I hadnt been playing too swift here recently, I didnt expect to do too good up here, he said. Former Masters champion Gay Brewer was alone in third in this national championship, one stroke off the pace at 137.

He had a 70 and blew a share of the lead when he missed a one-foot putt on the final hole.

He was tied with Charles Sifford, who had a 67, BARK A this year, said "it depends on, Ryun and Wottle if tonights pace is fast or tactical.

(AP) Jim Ryun pressed his bid for another Olympic berth in the run Friday night as the world record-holder once again shot from behind in the final lap to collect an impressive victory.

Ryun, who set the world mark of 3:33.1 five years ago, left Hayward Field without talking to newsmen.

Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody mess. Take that! exclaimed the king. Rognvald rode off in a panic But his brother stayed to split the kings skull open.

These stories are sagas from Willard Fiskes "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature, pub lished in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his scries beginning Tuesday in Reykja vik with Boris Spassky, the world champion. Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line, todays championship prize is chicken feed. Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga.

A king put up his horse, falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged In a game, winner take all. The king lost. He left the game on unarmed and unloved. Little consolation do you derive from the game of chess for now I own your costly objects! said his competitor. This Much Pay Yourself You pay everybody else.
