"One of has been for sale since the bles of Baltimore where he ha By ANDY B1CKFORD ONG NEVKR WORRIES about the exact definition of a word until ho wonders If that particular word can correctly define another word. Such Is lira case with tha word "sporls," which is sometimes used la classify practically any typo of activity. To refer to the dictionary to define the term Is a mistake. The dictionary is suupposed to provide a detinile answer, but somehow it confuses the situation more than it originally was.

The reason for the questioning of the mean- Ing of sporls stems from the worldwide alien, tlon presently heing focused on the world tills chess match between Bobby Fischer of this country and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. Tho important match has not only stirred a great deal of controversy in its' own right (mostly by Fischer), but has also raised some controversy over whether or not It can be classified as a sport. Sporls editors have been using I ho chess jtories on the sports pages except when they have warranted front page coverage, but a great deal discussion by sporls writers and sporls readers reveal that there is disagreement as to placing the stories in the sports jection. There are, naturally, two sides to the Those who say it should be barred from the sporls columns claim it doesn't belong there any more than the stock listings do. They cliake their heads and say a sport is something rJayed by athletes who demonslrate both physical and mental stress.

"How can you put chess in the same class as baseball, basketbal, football, If you call chess a sport, you might as well call tiddly-winks, checkers and bean bags sports, too." They add that chess Is merely a game. IN REBUTTAL to these contentions, tna other side points out that chess players undergo the same mental and physical tension that al through. They back this by a report compiled by scientists who made a study into the stress behind various activities which in- voled athletes, chess being one of them. Chess may not be like baseball and football, they add, but there' are professional chess players who compete for money and who practice as hard as'any oilier athletes. "But there are professional card -players, too," the opposition interjects and they practice.

If you consider them athletes, then why aren't pinochle results included in tha baseball Scoreboard, or poker matches llsled in the local slate or, monopoly moves described in detail in a story, or After offering some choice remarks regard- Ing the opposition's rude interruption, tha "chess-is-a-sport" backers refer to the others' first attack, claiming that chess is a game just as much as baseball, football and basketball are. "Tho chess match laking place right now isn't-any different in a general sense than the World Series. Both evenls are held to find out who the best players are in the world." "THE WORLD SERIES!" shreak's the other side. "How can you compare the physical ability demonstrated in the World Series wilh that of a chess match?" Again expressing disgust at the Interruption, the defenders continue. "Chess is a sport because a meeting in chess is called a match and so is a meeting in tennis.

The participants are players and so are the participants in other sporls." Tho opposition, in tarn, defiantly rebuffs what lias just been stated and'questions the use of general terms such as' and At lliis point the referee intervenes and declares the contest a draw because, "there are too many general terms being tossed around. After all," he reasons, "isn't that what started It appears that the result of this official ruling is that chess will remain on the sporls page, unless, of course, It deserves front page coverage. By JACK STEVENSON LOS ANGELES (AP) Carroll Rosenbloom had owned the Los Angeles Hams less than 24 hours when he declared, "We have as good or better chance as anyone lo take It all."
