MtMUip'! Twins Change Managers: Quilici Replaces Rigney Bobby, Boris Make Up; Matches Begin Tuesday Todays Sports Parade Triplets Wi Up in East Division Three Major League Games Go Extra Innings Richman "I hadnt been sleeping the By United Press International Evansville and Wichita are both good teams but it seems they often luck out to widen their leads in the East and West divisions, respectively, of the American Association. That was the way it was Thursday night as Evansville shoved aside Tulsa 6-2 and Wichita was disposing of Omaha 5-0. Wichitas achievement enable Evansville to take a 10'A-game lead over runnerup Omaha, while Evansvilles triumph permitted Wichita to go 9 games ahead of second-place Tulsa. Good pitching certainly helped both teams. Evansvilles Archie Reynolds fired an eight-hitter, scattering the safeties and letting the Oilers score only single runs in the seven and ninth frames after all the Triplet scoring had been completed, including a homerun by Bob Hansen.

Joe Decker hurled a seven-hit shutout for the Aeros. In the other game, Iowa beat Denver 5-1 on five-hit pitching by Glen Abbott. The Indianapolis Indians and Oklahoma City, cellar-dwellars in their divisions, were idle as far as league competition was concerned. However, the Indians entertained their parent club, the Cincinnati Reds, leaders of the West division of the National League, and lost 6-5, despite Roe Skidmores three-run homer. only 27 in 1924 and he turned out to be the Boy Wonder.

He won the world championship that year. I remember. I was the batboy. Frank Quilici promises he wont turn into an entirely different individual now that hes a big league manager. The only thing I dont want to lose, he says, is my personality.

It would be a shame if he did. OBradovich Retiring CHICAGO (UPI) Big Ed OBradovich told the Chicago Bears he is retiring after 10 years as defensive end. He said Thursday he wants to devote full time to his job as vice president of the Robert F. Irsay a Chicago heating and ventilating firm. Not contained in OBrado-vichs resignation letter was the fact that Robert Irsay, head of the firm bearing his name, has submitted a $9 million bid to buy the Los Angeles Rams and is awaiting only the approval of the National Football League club owners to make the purchase official.

This left open the possibility OBradovich rnay wind up as an executive of the Rams if Irsay becomes the chief stockholder. All of us regret Obies decision because it will be hard to replace a man who brings that amount of desire, ability and experience to his position, Bears coach Abe Gibron said. A native of Hillside, 111., OBradovich played two varsity seasons at Illinois University before joining Calgary of the Canadian League. The Bears drafted him seventh in 1962. Page Six It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceland for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms.

Jim Slater, a wealthy British banker, saved the match when he offered to double the prize money from $125,000 to $250,000. Fischer finally turned up July 4 but by then, Spassky was upset and threatened to pull out. He first demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game, then asked for an apology from the American and finally asked Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), to admit that he violated the rules when he postponed the match in Fischers absence instead of disqualifying the American. Euwe Admits Mistake Euwe, himself a former world champion and the last non-Russian to hold the title, promptly penned a declaration admitting that he had made a mistake.

Thursday, Fischer broke the ice when he wrote a letter to Dear Boris apologizing for his disrespectful behavior. Fischer admitted he had offended you and your country, the Soviet Union. I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers, Fischer wrote in his letter. Spassky accepted the apology, although it was not delivered directly to him by Fischer. and Los Angeles ripped Montreal, 11-3.

Detroit broke a four-game losing streak as Joe Coleman won his 10th game with a six-hitter against Kansas City. Tony Taylor scored three runs for the Tigers and Bill Freehan drive in three for Detroit. Jim Rooker was tagged with his sixth loss in 10 decisions. Sparky Lyle raised his major league-leading saves to 17 as he rescued Mike Kekichs eighth victory for the Yankees. New York won its seventh game in the last eight outings with the help of Felipe Alous two-run double.

Joe Rudis double and three singles chased Kekich. Lyle, making his 24th appearance, lowered his earned run average to 0.90 with 3 1-3 innings of shutout relief. John Briggs came off the bench to belt a pair of homers as Milwaukee stopped California behind the 6 1-3 innings of scoreless relief pitching by Jim Colborn. Briggs tied the score 5-5 in the fifth inning and won the game in the seventh with his 11th homer of the year. Both were off Don Rose, who has given up nine homers in 37 innings.

Gaylord Perry won his 13th game in the opener for Cleveland, but had to quell a Texas rally in the ninth after the Rangers scored twice. Chris Chambliss had three hits in each game and Gerry Moses hit his second of the season for Cleveland in the nightcap, which the Indians won on a 12th-inning single by Alex Johnson and Craig Nettles double. By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer A weak Baltimore battery with a combined batting average of .086 kept the Orioles two games ahead of Detroit today in the American League East. Catcher Ellie Hendricks, hitting .111, doubled in the eighth inning against Chicago Thursday night and Mike Cuellar, batting .061, sent him home with a single as Baltimore edged the White Sox, 2-1, for its fifth straight victory. Baltimore has an impressive 16-5 road record since June 9 and Manager Earl Weaver credits the excellent Oriole pitching for that mark.

But it was a hitting pitcher and catcher that made the difference Thursday. All I wanted to do was get my bat on the ball, make contact and hope it would go through, said Cuellar. It did. The victory was the third straight one-run decision Baltimore took from Chicago in the past series. Dick Allen spoiled Cuellars shutout bid with his 16th homer of the season.

In other scheduled American League games, Detroit shut out Kansas City, 7-0; New York beat Oakland, 6-2; Milwaukee nipped California, 6-5, and Cleveland beat Texas twice, 4-3 and then 6-5 in 12 innings. In the National League, Pittsburgh topped Houston, 7-3, in 17 innings; San Diego blanked New York, 1-0, in 14 innings; San Francisco defeated Philadelphia, 6-4, in 10 innings, Friday, July 7, 1972 last two nights thinking about the club, said Griffith. Watching our games, I felt there was something we lacked. I realize Bill Rigney had taken over a situation that wasnt too healthy in 1970 after we let go Billy Martin. But this has been one of those years though when everything has gone wrong.

Team Goes Downhill We won the Grapefruit League title in Florida with the best record. Then after the season started we were 16 and and 34. The irony of the whole thing is Tony Oliva. He had a knee operation yesterday and the doctors took some particles of calcium out. If he had been healthy, we most likely would be in contention right now.

In any case, Griffith made up his mind to change managers as he drove to work on the freeway Thursday morning. A man can do a lot of thinking driving to work and Calvin Griffith was thinking. I went back to 1965 for one thing, he says. Remember when Bernie Allen got hurt? Quilici came up to us from Denver and was one of the greatest inspirational forces Ive ever seen in all the years Ive been in baseball. He inspired everybody.

He even inspired Versalles to become MVP that year and in the World Series he hit Koufax like he owned him. Having made up his mind to make the change Thursday, which was an off day for the Twins, he now had to implement his thinking. The players had come to the ballpark for a workout but that was called off because of rain. Griffith first called Rigney into his office and told him he was making a change. Rigney has been managing ball clubs 18 years but he took this firing hard.

Griffith informed Rigney he intended to talk with Quilici about the job and Rigney said Youre the boss. Quilici is Summoned Quilici was summoned to Griffiths office and he was still wearing his uniform when he arrived. Would you like to become a manager? Griffith asked him. Quilici thought Griffith was talking about one of the Twins minor league clubs and he replied that managing had always been one of his ambitions and he felt he could do the job after learning a few things. Now, Frank, said Griffith, Im not talking about any minor league job.

Im talking about the Twins. Quilici looked dumbfounded. Actually, he never said yes, the Twins owner reveals, but later on we shook hands at the press conference so I guess he accepted. Youngest manager in the majors? I guess he is at that. It shouldnt make that much difference.

My uncle (Clark Griffith) named Bucky Harris manager when he was It 5 Easy to Laugh If Youre A Winning Pirate By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) After two weeks of behind-the-scene diplomacy and much talking, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky have agreed to get down to their real business playing chess. The match for the world title now held by the 35-year-old Russian will begin Tuesday in the Icelandic capital. The winner gets $150,000 and the loser $100,000. Spassky, a handsome Leningrad journalist who makes a living playing chess the year around, will make the first move. He won the draw Thursday night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move.

The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate. Despite the charges and countercharges exchanged between the two camps there was no sign of personal animosity between the two. Applause Exchanged When Spassky was introduced at the draw, Fischer applauded. And when the challenger, dressed in a green suit and red tie, was presented, Spassky gave him a big hand.

As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to Fischers hand and said, And good luck. The ceremony confirmed that all the problems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled. bottom of the inning but was tagged out at the plate. The Los Angeles Dodgers, paced by shortstop Bill Russells four RBIs and third baseman Jim Lefebvres three-run homer, continued their hitting explosion against Montreal as they drubbed the Expos, 11-3, with a 13-hit attack. The Other Side On the other side of the won-loss coin, the streaking San Francisco Giants stopped the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-4, in 10 innings on Tito Fuentes two-out, two-run triple.

Jerry Johnson, the third San Francisco pitcher, picked up the victory. Dusty Bakers two-run homer highlighted a four-run third inning and provided the winning margin as the Atlanta Braves held off a ninth-inning Chicago rally to beat the Cubs, 4-3. Only the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds were not scheduled among the NL teams. In the American League Baltimore passed Chicago, 2-1, Detroit wiped out Kansas City, 7-0, Cleveland swept a double-header from Texas, 4-3 and 6-5, New York defeated Oakland, 6-2, and Milwaukee sneaked by California, 6-5, in the only games scheduled.

SUMMER STARTING Martinsville Daily Reporter, Martinsville, Indiana By Milton By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Naturally, the first thing Frank Quilici did was call his wife. Hon, I cant say anything other than Im sitting here in Calvin Griffiths office and he just offered me the managers job with the Minnesota Twins. Frank Quilici got no response. His wife, Penny, had dropped the phone. Eventually she picked it up again.

I dont believe it, she said. By now she does. So does everyone else because Calvin Griffith, the President of the Twins, called a news conference in Bloomington, Thursday afternoon and announced Bill Rigney was out and Frank Quilici, one of his coaches, was in. To most people, the congenial, always happy 33-year-old Quilici is the Twins court jester and Good Humor Man because every time you run into him he is full of fun and full of laughs. See Frank If you need a favor, any kind of favor, you dont go to The Godfather, you go see Frank; if you need the name of a guy who can get it for you wholesale, you go see Frank; if you want to hear the latest funny story, and you want to hear it told right, you go see Frank.

But Calvin Griffith sees a lot of other things in Frank Quilici, his one-time back-up second baseman. He sees in this slender, blackhaired young man who sometimes looks like a loose-leaf Rudolph Valentino a good, quick mind. He also sees an excellent personality. He sees in gregarious Frank Quilici a man almost as well known in Minnesota as Hubert Humphrey, a natural salesman for the ball club. Calvin Griffith sees an individual who can possibly stimulate the Twins.

AH this crystallized in Calvin Griffiths mind as he drove the 22 miles from his home in Wayzanta, to the ballpark in Bloomington Thursday morning.

Morgan St. Spencer, Indiana For Appointment PHONE 829-3981 Scanner Radio Complete with 8 Crystals $1 CA95 ONLY HOURS JUNE 26 S-' 9 By STEVE WILSTEIN UPI Sports Writer Laughter comes easily to a first-place team and the Pittsburgh Pirates, a bit ragged after a 17-inning 7-3 triumph over the Houston Astros, were in the mood Thursday night to let the good times roll.

Their good humor was the result of left-handed relief pitcher Ramon Hernandez 17th-inning line drive double off the left field wall which ignited a four-run rally and ended the exhausting 4'4-hour struggle. That hit was just a bonus, you see, because Hernandez, in his entire major league career, never got a hit before. Not one. Thursday night he pitched four shutout innings and gave up only one hit after he was summoned to relieve Dave Giusti, who had pitched six innings of three-hit shutout ball. New York dropped a nervous decision to the San Diego Padres, 1-0, and the loss left the Mets 2lA games behind Pittsburgh.

10-Inning Pitching Duel For 10 innings San Diegos Steve Arlin and the Mets Jerry Koosman were locked in a magnificent pitching duel, with Arlin giving up just one hit and striking out eight and Koosman giving up five hits and striking out 12. In the 11th inning New York brought in Tug McGraw and San Diego brought in Gary Ross. Ross shut out the Mets on one hit for four innings and for three innings McGraw allowed only three hits. In the 14th inning Derrel Thomas singled for the Padres, Dave Roberts sacrificed and both runners were safe on a fielders choice and Leron Lee bunted a single. One out later McGraw walked Jerry Morales forcing in Roberts.

Bud Harrel-son tried to score on a wild pitch for the Mets in the HOME, SWEET HOME? Not in the major leagues, where the catcher's job is to try to make sure jou cant go home again. Dave Marshall (18) of the Mets was tagged out bv Houston's Larry Howard, above, but Clevelands Frank Duffy landed safely when Minnesota catcher Phil Roof (8) dropped the bail, below.
