The Brattleboro Reformer from Brattleboro, Vermont • 11

The Reformer, Friday, June 30, 1972 Page 11 Major League Standings Stan Smith Wins but Playing in Boondocks Sports Parade instinct Jack Dempsey had when he was fighting. Some of that instinct shows up even when hes not sitting at the chess board. Earlier this month, for example, he competed with 15 other top athletes in the Dewars Sports Celebrity tennis championships at LaCosta, and it was a little funny to watch such headliners as Rick Barry, Deacon Jones and Elgin Baylor all ask Fischer for his autograph. In the finals of the tournament, Hank Greenberg, the baseball Hall of Famer, and Bob Boyd, the basketball coach at Southern California, beat O. J.

Simpson and Gail Goodrich for the title, Bobby Fischer was among the losers. Next year, he said. Tip going to win. He said it as if he meant it, too, courts. Smiths fourth-round opponent, Ian Fletcher, the eighth -ranked Australian, is a brand new assignment for Smith, who has never before met him in a singles match.

Experienced observers who have seen both the top seeds in action believe that Romanian Ilie Nastase, the volcanic second seed, looks a much better prospect then Smith for nabbing the mens singles title. Where Smith has creaked ponderously through his last two matches, Nastase produced one of the finest exhibitions of touch tennis ever seen in the center court to obliterate New Yorks Clark Graebner. Todays card calls for completion of the top half of the mens fourth round and the womens third round. WIMBLEDON, England (UPI Hike all champions, Stan Smith needs a proper arena in which to display his talents. The top seed at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships and favorite for the $13,000 dollar prize has not had a square deal at the 86th renewal of the worlds premier tournament.

He struck the first ball in center court but since then has played out in the boondocks where the gallery stands massed together in the alleys leading to the other courts. Smith struggled into the last 16 Thursday with a 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 9-7 victory over compatriot Alexander Mayer of Woodmere, N.Y., a man ranked 30th to Smiths No. 1 in the national list. The 6-foot-4 Army corporal said: It was difficult to concentrate with all those millions of people jammed around the court. You heard the cheers from center court and scores of other matches and it was hard to think of the job in hand.

But thats a problem we have to live with, I guess. The tournament referee (Capt. Mike Gibson) told the seeded players hed play us on the lesser courts in the first week so those fans without seats could see us in action. Patrons who had to pay five dollars a ticket were disgruntled that Gibson had elected to play only four singles matches on the center and No. 1 courts, which have a total 24,000 capacity.

Many ripped up their pasteboards to plunge into the throngs that all but choked the alleyways between the lesser why it should be some kind of secret. Fischer originally planned to go to the world championships with only one other person; Spassky is already in Reykjavik with what amounts to an entourage. Fischer reads significance into that also because the championship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax, Fischer wont. Fischer doesnt think any of these things are pure accidents. He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to try to beat hiirK psychologically.

The world champion has the right to pick the site of the championships, says Fischer. Spassky wasnt even there when the international governing body chose the site. A Russian delegation was there and they picked the site. A Political Matter Fischer feels the championships have become a political matter. That annoys him.

But it hasnt lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky. Fischer has a lot of that same killer American League East W. L. Pet. GJ3.

Americans Getting Henley Regatta Help PAGESDAIRY BAR v' ya v' By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (UPI) The more Bobby Fischer thinks about it, die more it bugs him. Why Reykjavik, Iceland? Why not Rome? Fischer would like to know. Why not Paris, Oslo, Zurich, Dallas or New York? Or even Moscow? Any large city where theres people, activity and decent restaurants would be fine. Some place at least where theres something to do at night. Bobby Fischer, Americas 29-year-old chess genius, has a theory about why Reykjavik was picked as the site of the world championship which starts this Sunday.

The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik. Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive. He thinks they want to hide the championship because he feels hes going to take it from the Soviet Unions Boris Spassky. Whats more, Fischer thinks the Russians know hes going to do it. In this own way, Fischer is a demonstrator.

He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there. Has a Reason This has shaken up a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions. Call it one-upsmanship if you like. Boris Spassky neednt worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though. Bobby Hull may or may not play for the Winnipeg Jets next season and Rick Barry may or may not play for the Golden State Warriors, but there is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing for the world championship of chess.

Even in Reykjavik. Mainly because he thinks hes going to win. I wouldnt be at all surprised if hes right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly-haired New Yorker is right, hes like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when theyre right. Meaning nobodys going to beat him.

Fischer doesnt hold back. He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing in Reykjavik, they do make a good deal of sense. Fischer has been there, so when he talks about Reykjavik he isnt doing so from hearsay but from personal experience. He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night, a guy can go out of his everloving mind. Hes a Loner Not that Fischer is a rounder.

If anything, hes much more of a loner, but there are times be would like to become part of the general mix, or at least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says the television coverage will be limited. If he beats Spassky, he doesnt see student at Temple University, Philadelphia, took on Britains last hope, Ken Dwan. It was Timoschinin who inflicted the only U.S. defeat of Thursdays program when he beat Klecatsky by five lengths. Klecatsky has about 100 victories to his credit against fellow lightweights over the past three years but at 150 pounds just did not have the power of the 212 pound Russian.

AYS A WEEK PAGES dAIRY BAR Small Fry The Braves defeated the Yankees, 9-2 in their game at Living Memorial Park last night. The winners pounded out 11 hits, three by Derosia and two each by M. VanArsdale and Sowerby on the way to the victory. G. VanArsdale collected the lone hit for the Yankees in the contest.

Darrell Bucossi hurled the win for the Braves and struck out 11 while walking 10. The box score: Diego, where the Braves were Im happy to be going back to the bay area. I started playing there, I have a lot of friends there so I think Im very lucky. It could be worse. Cepeda said he expected a trade.

I knew it would happen. With the money I have been making, and with me not able to play the way I want to, and with some good young ball players on the team, I knew that they were going to do something with me, he said. He said he is pleased with the trade because, I wasnt too happy with Atlanta, not with the management because they have been good to me, but with things in general. Physically Cepeda said he feels fine. My knee is not the way I want it to be but they are coming along.

If my knees get well I have many years ahead of me. I feel very good physically, my reflexes are sharp and everything is going well for me. 254-9595 248 Canal St. ATLANTA (UPI) Atlanta Braves first baseman Orlando Cepeda learned Thursday hell be going back to the bay area where 14 years ago he started playing baseball with the San Francisco Giants. Cepeda, who has been plagued with sore knees, was traded to the Oakland Athletics by the Braves Thursday for pitcher Denny McLain, the one-time 31-game winner now working out his problems in Birmingham, and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Both players expressed satisfaction with the deal. Thats super," said McLain, Thats just great. Im 100 per cent armwise and my weights good. I just want to prove that I can pitch again." The Braves said McLain will start July 4 against Chicago in Atlanta. McLain, 28, won the Cy Young award twice, and his 31 victories in 1968 provided the biggest season for any pitcher in 30 years.

At Birmingham he was 3-3 with a 6.32 earned run average. Cepeda had been bothered by his knees and appeared in only 28 games this season, hitting .298. Asked about the trade in San HENLEY, England (UPI)- As if it wasnt tough enough for the locals, an Englishman, an Irishman and a Romanian are helping American bids for success at the 133rd Henley Royal Regatta. The English renegade is Ernie Arlett, who celebrates his 60th birthday July 5 and hopes Northeastern University of Boston, makes it a double celebration by winning the regattas glamor event, the Grand Challenge Cup for eights. Arlett, who was born at Henley on the last day of the 1912 renewal, went to the United States in 1955, created interest in the sport at Northeastern and coached the crew that faced Britains Tideway Scullers in todays semifinals.

The Irishman is Sean Drea of Philadelphias Vesper B.C., who Donkey Softball Game Slated at Saxtons River SAXTONS RIVER Fun loving area sports fans are insured a day of hilarious entertainment when Shaw Bros. Sports, of Sayre, Pa. bring their highly trained donkeys to town to match wits with the local cowboys. This big donkey baseball game is being sponsored by the Saxtons River Fire Department and will be played at the Bancroft field at 6 pm. Saturday, July 8.

The opponents will be the Conn. Valley All Stars. Trying to catch a fly ball while on the back of one of these stubborn little fellows or trying to round the bases on a long hit when the donkey decides it is time to go the other way will furnish many good laughs. It will take all the skill the locals can put together to out-fox the donkeys who are known to do the wrong thing at the right time. So plan to bring the whole family to this big event.
