18 INTELLIGENCER JOURNAL, Lancaster, Saturday, July 172 Determines Style of Play i First Move Gives Spasskyj Slight Edge Over Fischer -v I -mr i ending is foregone; the player holding the initiative, must win. But theory quickly parts company with reality over the chessboard. Players even grandmasters slip up, overlook opportunities, blunder. They underestimate their opponents or overestimate themselves. They tire, tense jip, crack under the strain.

HAVE MET BEFORE Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky have met befqre, Spassky has won three of their last five games, and two have been drawn. The Fischer mys-' tique has not seemed to work in Spasskys case: he does jiot lose first a game, then 'his equanimity, teen his morale and, finally, tee match. I-But then, Fischer ind Spassky have not met since Fischers mystique began working full time. The winner of the first mive (Spassky) already enjoys Jthe almost-tangible advantage of the initiative. He will also enjoy tee psychological advantage of, in a sense calling Ihe tune.

And, if he plays without error, nursing his one-mpve advantage, he will wind-up with tee much more potent psychological advantage of taking tee lead. 2 fine or formalize as the shifting shapes of an early-morning mist. SETS THE PATTERN The player who makes the first move and it is always with tire white pieces chposes the kind of game that will follow. Not the details, of course, because the tactics, the specific moves, must be worked out as the game develops. But ire sets the over-all tone, the strategy.

If he is strong on speed and hard-hitting tactics, he will choose an opening that suits that style of play. If his forte is quiet, positional chess the kind that builds slowly, unspectacularly but inexorably he will steer the game into those channels. The first player, too, is always one move up on his opponent unless he missteps and throws a move away. GETS THE INITIATIVE That advantage of being a move ahead is known in the chess world as the initiative. It is the second players blacks job to wrest the initiative from white, or at least to neutralize it.

In a theoretical game between two theoretically equal players making theoretically correct moves, the theoretical By RICHARD ROBERTS (C) New Yerk Times News Service NEW YORK Unlike poker, craps, Monopoly, bridge or love, chess is absolutely devoid of fire element of chance. Or so most people think. It is a game of skill, all skill and nothing but skill; cool absolutely totally logical- A game in which two minds meet and clash in a. never-never land of pure reason. And so it is up to a point.

True, there is no luck of the deal as there is in poker or bridge, and there are no repeated throws of the dice, the way there are in craps or monpoly (through there were, in tire Middle Ages). LOTS OF EMOTION But there is a good deal of emotion with some people it is passion which perhaps than to poker. And there is at least one small element of luck, in the form of 'the first move. The privilege of making the first move is determined by a drawing of lots, a flip of a makes chess closer to love coin, a toss of a die. And to.

Stock Yard Subdivision Plan Okayed The City Planning Commission Thursday approved subdivision plans allowing the Stock Yard Inn, adjacent to Union Stock Yards, to be sold to J. Edward Mack for about $300,000. Sale of the inn is contingent on federal court approval of the sale of the yards by the Penn Central Railroad to the Lancaster livestock Ex-'change for the sum of $803,331. The livestock Exchange intends to sell the Stock Yard and about 2-acres at the western end of the stock yards 'on the Lititz Pike to Mack for $300,000.

In other action Thursday, the planning commission also 'approved plans for the construction of a Guernsey Maid -'Restaurant at the northwest comer of Hershey Avenue and Street. Commissioner John Jarvis, who in the past has denounced 'the proliferation of fast food restaurants he terms ham-! burger heavens, made the motion to approve the Guera-sey Maid proposal after the restaurant would be 'primarily a sit-down eating establishment rather than a hamburger take-out ser-vice.

A jury in its verdict foqnd for both defendants, Muster and Loump, and against Coller, who then asked for a new trial. Judge Bucher denied motions for a new trial and; in arrest of judgment filed fry Jay R.

Kilheffer, convicted of obstructing an officer in execution of process and Clarelce Edward Eshleman convicted of possession and of marijuana. Kilheffer was charged afjer a disturbance at Long Parkea July 10, 1971." Judge Bucher said, Aftei a careful review of the mony, the court is satisfied teat the defendant received a full and fair trial and that the jury was amply justified. in returning its verdict. I The Lancaster County Court Friday granted a new trial in the case of Martin Electrical Service, Elizabethtown, against United Mutual Underwriters, a group of mutual insurance companies. The insurance companies had asked for a new trial after a jury trial resulted in a verdict for Martin Electrical Service, Inc.

Martin was awarded $7,608.71 after the firm sued to recover the amount of the bills plus interest from the insurance companies as the result of a fire Nov. 6, 1969 in an electrical cubicle at the Riv-erview Elementary School, Marietta. Judge Wilson Bucher, in an opinion, agreed with the de- fendants the insurance companies in their contention teat tee Court erred in admitting evidence of bills in tee amount of $4,913.10 without supporting evidence of the necessity or reasonableness of tee repair of the electrical cubicle. DENIES RETRIAL In another opinion, Judge Bucher denied a new trial to George W. Haus, 2472 Ellen-dale Drive, in his action against Grace Habalar, 236 E.

Main Terre Hill. Haus had sued tee defendant for personal injuries and damage to his car as the result of an accident Jan. 4, 1970 on E. Main Street, A jury awarded him $243.01 for damage to his car and he asked for a new trial on the grounds the verdict was not adequate. Judge Bucher noted.

The plaintiff at trial was permitted to develop fully his contention that he suffered personal injuries, but the jury obviously did not believe him. He added, The mere fact a verdict is low does not mean it is inadequate. The Court also denied a new trial to Robert Coller, who had sued Elmer Musser, individually and trading and doing business as Elmer Musser Ex-cavating and Irvin Loump, Mussers driver. CRASH INVOLVED The suit arose from a collision betwen the motorcycle owned and operated by Coller and a truck-compressor combination owned by Musser and operated by Loump. The accident occurred on Druid Hill Road, between Mountville and Silver Spring.

READ YOUR AD FIRST DAY it appears Thii Mwipaper will not rttpow-(lbl for mort ttiin ant incorroef Insertion of any odvortlwmonf. ior, the milk delivery horses were not above being scared on occasion. The backfire of an automobile could send them on the run, leaving a disgusted milkman stranded on somebodys porch. Would Always Return But even in flight, the horses never quite abandoned their training and could always be counted on to return to the dairy by way of their regular route. Dusman recalls one third floor apartment where it was his practice to open a window, climb in and place the milk in the refrigerator, then leave through the same window.

At another stop, the milkman remembers finding a note asking him to please put the garbage can out and explaining that everyone in the house was ill. Still another customer expected the milkman to walk into the house, put the milk away, then pay himself from a pocketbook always kept where he could find it. Should a customer change his standing order and the milkman be caught in short supply for a given item, he always returned that same day with the requested product. Always Put In Extra Effort We werent afraid to put in a little time to help people, Dusman explained And then there were the tunes when the milkman was called on to start furnace fires, call doctors or even aid police looking for a fugitive in the night. Back At Tho Dairy by 7 A.M.

If all went well, horse, wagon and driver were back at the dairy by 7 a.m., the horses unhitched and allowed to return to their stables several blocks away, by themselves. After breakfast, the deliverymen again went over their routes, this time making collections. Strictly as a convenience to customers, they also made collections in the evening. Rowe remembers starting in 1930 for $2 a day, working seven days a week and at one time working for two consecutive years without a day off. These were post-depression days, and a man worked hard to keep a job if he had one.

Started In '38 at $19 A Week Dusman said his starting wage was $19 a week in 1938. Both agreed, You had to enjoy it to a certain extent to stick with it. The deliverymen also learned to sleep in shifts. To bed at noon, up again at 5 p.m.. make a few collections, have dinner with the family and return to bed from 9 p.m.

until midnight. It kept you in good shape, Rowe commented. No matter how bad you felt when you started out in the morning, you always felt better after being out talking to people, and after delivering over 500 quarts of milk. Going from the days when milk was delivered to the same homes every day of the week, to the present when deliveries are made just two, sometimes three days of the week, Dusman and Rowe have their own ideas on what has happened to milk delivery routes. When you deliver only two days a week, Dusman said, you lose customers.

It doesnt pay the dairy, Rowe said of home deliveries, except in the long run. But he feels the milk delivery business could make a comeback if the services were increased to four times a week. Today, the veteran deliverymen look over a modern milk truck and find few similarities to the olden days. The list of food products now available from the milkman reads more like a complete grocery list bread, eggs, bacon, fruit juice even milk. By GARY MARTIN Intell Farm Writer Time was when horses were about as important to the milk industry as were cows As recently as 1954 there was little on Lancaster streets at 3 a.m to disturb the milkman making his deliveries with a horse drawn wagon.

In those days you got more than milk delivered to your door early in the morning, and theres a good chance you chose your milkman for reasons other than the brand of milk he sold. Count on Milkman for Other Things If the milkman was up to par and his horse behaved he probably put your garbage can out, took the newspaper into the house and stoked your furnace on cold mornings. Donald Rowe, 65. and Richard Dusman 64, both came through the horse and wagon era of milk delivery. Both are still employed with Queen Dairy, the last dairy in the county to deliver milk by horse and wagon.

In the days when almost everybody had milk delivered to his door step, there was good reason for using horses the milkman could leave the driving up to them and con-. centrate on such things as keeping the raw milk separated from Guernsey. Horses Knew Where to Stop Of course much of the credit goes to the horses those near human, equine creatures, who knew exactly where to stop for each of nearly 500 customers every day. The horse did all the driving, Dusman said. You just talked to aim.

When he felt your weight stepping off the wagon, he would stop. Keeping an anxious eye on his master moving from one house to another, the horse knew just when to move on to the next stop. 1 For both horse and driver, the day usually started about 2 oclock in the morning when a ton and half of milk was loaded aboard the bright green wagon. If the night was cold, like a minus-four degree morning Rowe still remembers, the drivers hung as many as three lanterns in their wagons. When this failed to chase the cold, the drivers got out and ran beside the horse to keep warm.

Rowe remembers how his best horse, Scotty, always knew which house his driver was serving and automatically moved to the next stop as the milkman cut through lawns to another customers door. In certain neighborhoods, the milkmen would cut through back alleys carrying enough milk to get them through the block, while the horses pulled the wagon on the main streets around the block, meeting the driver again at the far end. One day, Scotty decided not to travel a certain street wanted nothing to do with it, Rowe recalls, even though it was part of his daily route. But the horse was one step ahead of his driver that day. The only customer in the block had just left on vacation.

Horse Was Almost Human He got almost human, Rowe said of Scotty. He could do everything but talk. On narrow streets, the horses never misjudged the room needed to safely pass through and never once did a horse scrape his wagon on either side, the drivers said. You learned to know those horses as you would your own son, Dusman said. But you had to have a horse that would work with you.

The horses always looked for treats along the way. They knew the people who regularly gave them sugar, or carrots or apples.

Rate Sewage Hazard, City Says There should be no health hazard arising from raw sew-' age pouring into the Conestoga River, city officials said Friday. Lester Andes, director of public works, said that the continuing wet weather in Lancaster is keeping the Conestoga flowing rapidly, thus diluting the estimated 7-million gallons of raw sewage pouring into it from the citys disabled sewage treatment system. The citys North Sewage Treatment Plant, damaged by -'recent floods, is still out of ac-. lion.

Andes said he expects that t'tne plant will be back in min-' imal operation in a week to 10 days, and full operation in about three weeks. The sewage pumping sta--tions also damaged by the flood are also expected to be back in operation in about three weeks, he added. In the meantime, continuing rain, plus water runoff from the saturated land is keeping the river flowing so rapidly that the raw sewage is diluted -to a relatively safe level j- The citys South Sewage 'Treatment Plant is in operation, but because the sewage pumping stations are still out onlv sewage from the Water Street sewer district is being 'treated.
