Ryan, who said he threw fast balls 70 to 80 per cent of the By United Press International Nolan Ryan allowed only one hit, struck out 16 batters-including a league record eight in a row and retired the last 26 Boston hitters in succession as the California Angels beat Fingers to gain his seventh victory. Joe Rudi doubled home two runs for Oakland and Dave Duncan delivered the other with his third homer in three days. Rich Reese tied a major league record with the third pinch-hit grand slam homer of his career, but it wasn't enough for Minnesota as the Yankees had erupted for five runs in the first two innings and picked up three more in the seventh. Sparky Lyle gained his 19th save for New York.

new pitching sensation of the time, opened the game at Anaheim by walking Tommy Harper on four pitches. He then struck out Doug Griffin before Carl Yastrzemski singled to right. Ryan proceeded to strike out the next eight men to set an American League record, whiffing the side in the second inning on nine pitches.

The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match.

Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. "Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S.

Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones.

Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident. Storewide Summer CLEARANCE Save up to 50! vs. FREDERICK, Md.

She started on an outside lane and led the whole way. Patty Johnson, of San Cle-mente, finished the hurdles in 12.9, breaking the 13.1 record. She and Lacey O'Neal, who tied the old record Friday night, were in a dead heat through the first six hurdles, but at about the seventh one they bumped arms causing Miss O'Neal to lose her stride and fall behind.

The old order changeth and that augurs well for men like Robinson, Wills, Lasorda, Ozark and Gilliam.

Perhaps it changeth not as quickly as they would like, but the fact that people like Frank Quilici, Don Zimmer, Chuck Tanner, Frank Lucchesi, Sparky Anderson and Earl Weaver were given a chance to manage in the majors means that there will be other new ones, too. One day soon there also will be the first black major league manager, and after him there will be others until nobody will ever give anymore thought to a black manager than is given to a black ballplayer now. That's really the way it should have been some time ago. But you know baseball. It's so slow.

I can't do that. I want to earn mine. I still think I can salvage this year, if I play, and I feel I can come back and have a good year next year. Stan Musial came back and had a good year after a poor one. He came back and hit .330 I believe and then quit.

I don't want to quit on a year like this one." Maury Wills isn't playing coy. Ask him whether he'd like to manage a major league club and he says sure, why not?

Scheinblum raised his league-leading batting average to .327. John Odom retired 22 Milwaukee batters in order between the second and ninth innings, but still needed ninth-inning relief from Rollie men to manage in the majors, and when the day comes that Walt Alston tells the Dodgers he's going back to his farm in Darrtown, Ohio for good, there's equally little doubt in my mind they will ask him for his recommendation as to who should succeed him. Walt Alston isn't the type' to toss names around at" a time like this, primarily because he doesn't care to gloss omer anyone and cause hard feelings, but I'd have to say when the Dodgers do ask him whom he'd recommend as his successor, he'll say either Maury Wills or Danny Ozark. There always is that chance, of course, that one of these two men or both may be tapped for a managerial job before the end of next season. One major league club I know of already is talking about Ozark as its next managerial possibility.

Which brings up the case of Maury Wills. This is his 14th season in the majors and unquestionably his poorest one. Some say he's all through as a player. They cite his .117 average, the fact he has stolen only one base this season and his age, which is the same as Jack Benny's 39. Wills Thinks Otherwise Maury Wills doesn't believe he is through.

FUN AND RELAXATION FOR ALL! NOW SHOWING AT: 2-4-6-8 COLOR KMROfDf WIMBLEDON, England (UPI) The excitement at Wimbledon '72 belonged to the women until two footsoldiers stole the show with one of the most exciting men's finals in the last 40 years. In a 2 hour 40 minute center court thriller Sunday, top seeded Stan Smith of Pasadena, Calif, beat Romanian touch artist Hie Nastase, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. Oldtimers at the club, who've seen all the finals back to the 1930s, said the match was the best since Australia's Jack Crawford beat Ellsworth Vines of America, 64 in the fifth, to win in 1933. Certainly the capacity crowd of 15,000 fans, who hung on every shot, was satisfied with the feast of strokes and fighting tennis served up by the finalists. It more than made up for the disappointment of Saturday's washout which caused the finals to be postponed 24 hours for only the fourth time in the 86-year history of the torunament.

Smith, who has won a host of admirers for his court manners and charm off it, was perfectly frank afterwards when he said: "eighty per cent guts and luck got me through," by way of tribute to Nastase, who made the strokes which had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Guts and a refusal to quit finally got Smith home and helped give the U.S. its first double victory since 1955 when Tony Trabert and Louise Brough were successful. Billie Jean King of Long Beach, Calif, won her fourth ladies title on Friday. Because the match was being played on army time, Smith was unable to keep the $13,000 top prize, but at no time did he play as though money was a consideration.

Before the final he said: "Winning Wimbledon means more to me than money." He proved that when he saved three break points in the vital fifth game of the deciding set. He came from 0-40 to break service in the 12th game to clinch the set and match. Nastase, who had hit wonderful passing shots on either wing, made impossible looking returns and served well, played CUED ii-j 1 1 -i i l. 1-4 STARTS THURS: WALT DISNEYS "NAPOLEON AND SAMANTHA" 1 I 1 lll'Jtlil Monday Thru Saturday at Roses The Mall Gaffney D-E-L-I-C-I-0-U-S BROWN'S MARKET FRIED CHICKEN Deep Fried With A Special Old Southern Recipe.
