1--4 BRIDGEPORT SUNDAY POST, October 1975 Heads Field For U.S. Grand Prix WATKINg GLEN, N.Y. (AP) Njkl Lauda's blood-red Fer- a the dominant force in Formula One racing this season, will head a field 2 5 of the most sophisticated racing machines in the world in today's Grand. Prix of lhe United: States. i Part of the piirse was attached.

In court action late Friday, pending outcome of the i a a the Formula One constructors 'association by the brganizers of the Canadian Grand Prix. The event was abruptly cancelled just a few days before its scheduled Sept. 21 date, after a dispute between the organizers snd constructors over money. Otherwise, an ideal weather forecast for the scheduled 3:05 p.m. EDT start was expected lo attract a crowd of more than 100.000 despite a reported boycott by disgruntled Canadian fans.

Although-the'driving title already was clinched by Lauda earlier this season, the race still promises to be one ot the most competitive in recent Less than three miles per hour separated the top 16 cars in qualifying. Lauda, a plucky little Auslrl- an, won the pole position with a record speed of 119.18 miles per around the 3.377-mile Wat- 'kins Glen road course Satur- day. The 26-year-old Lauda had the early favorite for the 'pole position but he had lo con- "stantly improve his speed In a duel with two-time world champion Emerson Fitlipaldi of Brazil, who will start second in his with a qualifying speed of 118.77. Next on the grid were Carlos Keutemnnn of Argentina in a Brabham at 118.39 m.p.h.; Frenchman Jean-Pierre Jarier, in an American-backed Shad- ow, at 118.31 m.p.h.; Mario Andretti of "Nazareth, Pa. in a Parnelli at 118.24 m.p.h.; Vit torip Brambilla of Italy in a March'at 118.21 m.p;h, and Ja rier's teammate, Tom Pryce of England at 118.05.

i Andretti, who Is bidding to become the first U.S. driver ever to win his country's rnce picked up his speed dramatical ly in the afternoon practice ses sion after a series of mechanical troubles earlier. Brambilla's teammate American Brett Lunger, was yet another victim of the chicane, a tricky, new right-left curve at ths start of the series of uphill S's. He nosed into a catch fence, but he and the crowd were not injured. Lauda's Ferrari trarhmate.

Clay Reggazoni of Switzerland smashed the engine in his ma chine in an airborne bounce over the chicane curves, but he returned later In a backup car. Brambilla wrecked his March at the chicane Friday with a wild, flipping crash. The 3.7 year-old Italian, the oldest man in the race, practiced Saturday in a backup assigned to Ger man Hans Stuck while the front-line machine as being repaired. The American team o( Roger Penske, fielding a new car in this race with Britisher John Watson at the wheel, held eighth position on the grid, the best showing' yet in Formula One for tha team. The car was designed and developed by the late Mark- Donohue, who had predicted it would be a truly competitive machine.

"We are ready," said Lauda who is trying for not only his first victory here, but also the first for Ferrari and the reign- Ing world champion. "The car is right, the brakes aro right the motor is Then he added impishly "And the driver right." Joan Payson Succumbs; Mets'Number One Fan' YORK (AP)' Snortswoman Joan Payson, who responsible for the birth and success of the York Mets, died early Saturday after a long illness. beloved Mets' matriarch and their 1 fan "slipped away" a 6 3 5 a.m. EDT at New York, according to a team spokesman. She was 72.

the cause of death Avas.not revealed, Mrs. Payson Had suffered a stroke a few months ago and had been hospitalized since. Failing in health over recent years, Mrs. Payson spent most of her time lii wheelchair. Payson, a heavy woman with graying blonde hair and nn expressive face, was heiress to the Whitney fortune and was a rioted philanthropist and patron of the arts.

But It was her association with sports that brought her fame and lasting friendships. was well known for her rfartnership with her brother, John Hay Whitney, In the famed Greentree Stable, producer of champion horseflesh. But she was even better known for her association with the Mets, a team that clearly became her "family;" although she had four children of her own. Payson, whose father Payne Whitney became one of the richest men in America through investments in lumber, hanking and real estate, used some of that money to create a National League baseball team In New York in 1362. Once a stockholder in the old New York Giants, Mrs.

Payson was very upset when the team moved to California along with lhe Brooklyn Dodgers in 1958. It was soon afterwards that she triggered a successful campaign, along wj'h attorney William A. Shea to obtain a new National League franchise, called the Metropolitans. With Mrs. Payson's backing- she became principle stockholder of the team--the Mets took over the old Polo Grounds field in 1962 and -eventually moved Into brand new Shea Stadium.

After floundering at the bottom of the league for several years, those "Amazing Mets" climbed to the top of the baseball world in 1969, beating the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. fans literally tore Shea Stadium apart and happy New Yorkers celebrated that victory for days. But, in truth, there were few happier, than Joan Payson. "She was the ultimate fan," said a Met Wearing a Mets' warmup jacket and waving a team ilag, Mrs. Payson was a familiar figure along the first basa line at Shea Stadium every summer.

Forced to a. wheelchair, she did't let that her away from the ballpark--or keep her away from board of directors' meetings, where she helped make all the big decisions for the Mets. "Tho team had great affection for and sha had tremendous love for all of the players," said. the spokesman. But she did have her favorites--including Ed Kranepool, the only original Met left from the expansion team, Bud Harrelson and Willie Mays--a player she helped bring back" to New York near the end of his fabulous career.

Mrs. Payson, a great Mays fan when he played for the old New York Giants, engineered a deal lo bring the all-star outfielder back to New York three summers ago, in the twilight ol his baseball career. She was constantly bestowing kisses and flowers on her players. Even great distance could not keep Mrs. Payson out ot touch with her Once in Europe, she received phone calls.on Mcls from M.

Donald Grant, the team's chairman of. lhe board. Mrs. Payson divided much ol her i between the ballpark and the race track. Her cons a companion was a transistor radio, which always kept her tuned Into either place.

If that blond guy doesn't move out, I'll go anc get him. Littler, gunning for fourth of the year, had a 69 in the irilliant fall weather, mild sunny, and with just a hint of a breeze.

"But it IS a one-shot lead and 1 don't think any of these guys like to spot me one shot. "My putting is good. Almost every putt on the back nine either lipped out or went in. And I birdied the last two. That shows, that my game seems to be pretty good under pressure.

"Nerve-wise, I'm in pretty good shape. I feel good."
