i 12 The Lexington Herald and The Lexington Leader Lexington Ky Saturday July 15 1972 Fischer Loses Appeal For Replay i Of Game He Forfeited To Spassky ation said that If the match was stopped by disqualification the' organizers would not pay the loser's share This meant that Fischer could not only lose his chances at the title but a great aum of money As the loser he would be entitled to $48875 from the chess federation $45000 from a purse of about $120000 offered by British financier James Slater and $27500 from television and movie rights In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid the chief refer ee the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but could have been farther from the facta" He previously had toll Schmid that although he could not see or hear the cameras the knowledge that they were there made him nervous In his letter however he as-serted: bungling un knowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy rude and deceitful The only thing invisible silent and ture cameras in the hall Thus Spassky who won the first game was 2-0 in the 24-game series He needs 10 more points to retain the title A victory counts one point and a draw half a point Fischer agreed to go ahead with the match if the cameras were removed although the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125000 purse for the two players Gudmundur Thorarinsson president of the Icelandic feder By STEPHENS BROENING REYKJAVIK Iceland (AP)- Bobby Fischer charged on Fri day that tournament organizers seemed to and provoke deliberately but an appeals committee rejected bis request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris "Spassky The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear staying in his hotel suite because he objected to three moving pic VS 0 5 out of sight was the fairness of the part of the organizers have never compromised on anything affecting playing conditions of the game itself which is my art and my profession seemed to me that the organizers deliberately tried to upset and provoke me by the way they coddled and kow towed to that (camera) crew am keen to play this match and I hope game two will be scheduled for Sunday July 16 at five in file Fischer declared Out Mien all the camera equipment had been removed 1 wifi be at the chessboard" A fouMnan committee voted 3-1 to reject request for a replay said Gudmunder Arnlaughsson of Iceland assistant referee who served on the committee We agreed to support he said of us felt that it could not be done otherwise There was one against" posing was Fred Cramer an official of the US Chess Federation and an associate of Fischer The other members were Baldur Midler an Icelandic Chess Federation official and Nikolai Krogius a Spassky aide Andrew Davis lawyer who arrived in the morning from New York appeared inset by the ruling Asked if Fischer would appear for the third game Sunday he replied: comment on that" Davis appeared before the committee along with two Russians before it began its deliberations Davis declared Fisdier wanted )he forfeited game played and deserved it because play-ng conditions in file hall had men ruined by the presence of the cameras If one player objected that was sufficient reason to halt the play he contended 1 Yefim Geller second and Vkitor Ivonin from the Soviet Sports Committee urged strict application of the tournament rules These provide that the dock must be started if a player appear on time for a game and after an hour the game ia forfeited if he appear The Russians said a match can be postponed only for a written medical excuse and no excuse had been given Fischer delivered a copy of his protest to hotel after handing it to Schmid He stuck the sealed envelope in pigeon hole and the Russian got ft as he was eating breakfast in the hotel dining room Spassky read it and said: about everything except chess" Spassky commented that he was disappointed and planned to go fishing for two days and not think about chess Chester Fox the New York promoter who bought the film rights to the championship said he discussed arrangements with Fischer at the Yale Chib in New York on June 28 Fox said he explained how the cameras would be used Fischer raised no objections and perfectly reasonable" discussed how we would film" he added wanted to know specifically how much money he would get all he was interested JLk JL ROUNDING THE TURN The hones round the turn in the rack gait the

at crucial times We were more relaxed today and those first hits broke the ice" For the record the Northern stars had 15 hits got fix walks aid took advantage of five Southeastern errors Leading the attack was Finn Green with three hits and three runs batted in Getting two safeties each were Jim McCarty Dewayne Walker and David Givens was proud of all the play ers they all played well" McCarty added the subs got hits" Kirk Tolson who worked the first four innings got the win He gave up one hit and three runs walking six and striking out two was only hia third time on the mound in Babe Ruth McCarty said the longer distance from Little League I fully -anticipate a lot of walks I consider it a good game when less than eight walks" Tolson tired badly and Tony Hicks pitched the last two innings Deluca lasted until the fourth when Bill Bench finished up and surrendered eight runs to Northern in the final inning The rout was complete OS SOS-14 is 1 Oil i 4 McCarty Deluca Toil Mo

at Shilii Park Northern had little trouble defeating Southeastern 16-6 Like' wise Dixie coasted to a 10-2 victory over Winchester The details: thought we would do all right if our hitting ever broke he noted finally! our hitting shaped up That put pressure on Southeastern and Northern 16 Southeastern 6 The first two Northern batters provided an indication of the rout to come when they opened the game with hits Southeastern pitcher Tom Deluca escaped until the third when Northern scored its first three runs five-run fourth decided the issue And so Northern manager Ken McCarty had this to say afterward: By FRANK PHELPS The Kentucky Racing Com mission will resume Tuesday its investigation into two questioned races run at Churchill Downs on Derby Day second hearing into the racea won by Scotch Thorn and Postal Milagro has been scheduled at 10 am that day at the Com' mission offices here it was announced Friday afternoon Several witnesses were bean July 6 in a day-long hearing Some of them may be recalled at the Tuesday session in an effort to clarify some discrepancies in their previous testimony Both of the races were won Milagro Most of the evidence at the previous hearing concerned the latter horse and there was some indication that the Commission had satisfied itself there was nothing improper about the Scotch Thom race although no ruling has yet been made in regard to either race Scotch Thom belongs to Mrs Betty Kaeiin of Louisville whose husband trainer Forrest Kaeiin was the only witness heard on that race at the initial hearing Postal Milagro raced in the name of Gray of Louisville who according to testimony at the previous hearing had leased the horse a few days earlier from Alwin such licenses in Michigan and Arkansas where the stable had previously raced It was also brought out at the previous hearing that prominent veterinarian Dr Alex HarthiU who entered a claim of Postal Milagro for $3500 from the race on behalf of A1 Levinson of California at that time likewise did not have license as an authorized agent although he had applied for one and it has since been issued Dr Harthill argued that such an authorized license though required under Kentucky racing rules is not needed under the Kentucky commercial code which calls only for a verbal authorization This the Louisville veterinarian claimed to have Because of the investigation he charged that he has been unable to work and the Levinson stable has been unofficially barred from racing except in California two-run single put Dixie ahead 3-0 before Mike Slone drew a pass with the bases loaded and Joe Ciaravino was hit by a pitch Slone's two-run single waa the big blow in three-run' third inning Two more runs in the next frame sealed Winchester's doom And now Dixie manager Dan Hammond was saying: had a good day they did a good job I was satisfied with everything overall And I thought Jim Young did a real good Ah yes Jim Young The start-: ing pitcher for Dixie who allow-' ed only one hit in the three inn-rings he pitched striking out four in the process And not walking a single hitter pulled him after three Hammond explained so we can use him for another -three innings in the finals iT we have to We also wanted to" give Joe Cowley (the reliever)' a little experience" Cowley was not aa effective aa Young But then he have to be either Hitters like Gary Summers) Moses Stigers and Slone saw to-that They all had two hits each in the 19-hit attack Slone and Stigers also had three runs bat-- ted in apiece Carl Parker led Winchester with two hits Hammond indicated hia starter in the champion ship would be: Joe Tucci who posted an 113 victory over Garden Springs In the first round Northern manager McCarty named Willie Dunn to start for his team in the final A today?
