Crosse Tribune, Tuesday, July 11,1972 Chess Match Begins As War Of Nerves Ends REYKJAVIK, ICELAND (AP) The World Chess Championship began today without Bobby Fischer, the American challenger. Champion Boris Spassky of Russia arrived exactly on time at 5 p.m., waited a minute, then calmly pushed his pawn forward two spaces. Referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany pushed the button on the time clock and the match had begun. Fischer sometimes chooses to be late to tournaments and matches. It was not known where he was.

Then seven minutes after Spassky began the game, Fischer appeared from offstage left. With long strides he sped to the black leather swivel chair placed behind the white side of the board. Applause which greeted arrival arose in crescendo when Spassky moved forward from the side of the stage where he had been waiting to shake hand. The American took a minute to regard the board and the pawn opening Spassky favors. Fischer moved his side knight to the bishop three square.

Spassky seated himself and replied with a threat to the center of the board with his pawn. Fischer pushed his pawn forward a square. Fischer has three losses and two draws with Spassky in five previous games. Fischer has never beaten the Russian playing black. Last-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of sports hall.

The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2. Spassky, 35, drew the white chessmen and with them the first move. Fischer, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y., had the black pieces. One game will be played each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, starting at 4 p.m.

noon CDT. National prestige was at stake for the defending Russian. The Soviet Union subsidizes chess and has dominated the game for decades. Fischer is the first foreigner to make it to the finals since 1948. For Fischer, it is a question of money and personal prestige, of proving his claim that he is the best in the world.

London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the 24-game, two-month competition and capture more than $180,000 of the estimated $300,000 at stake. The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125, plus another $75,000 of the $120,000 provided by London investment James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers calculate Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 from the sale of television and film rights. Both players stayed in seclusion. Spassky was reported nervous and upset.

Fischer, who favors sleeping in the daytime, was last seen at 1 a.m., Monday, when he visited the sports hall. He demanded that the mahogany playing table be shortened and that the overhead lights be changed. The challenger also agreed with the complaints that the squares on the chessboard were too large in relation to the size of the pieces. Wheel Chair Pusher Gets Ticket For Using Street MADISON, Wis.

I am still in the display of organizational muscle came when he recaptured 151 disputed California delegates at the peak of a tumultuous session. The South Dakota senator claimed his long, uphill battle was near success and that victory in Wednesday nominating session is our Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, leader of the coalition of McGovern rivals that lost the crucial California vote, declined to concede the nomination. But he admitted that McGovern quite a and promised to say more in the morning.

But with victory within reach in the opening session, the McGovern camp failed in an effort to engineer a compromise to seat both Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and a heavily pro-McGovern group of Illinois challengers. The convention then voted to oust the powerful Chicago mayor in a move expected to have far-reaching consequences both throughout the party and in its fall campaign for the White House in the politically crucial state of Illinois. But the showdown votes on California arid Illinois were followed by a series of compromises that quickly brought the opening session to a close a few minutes before 4 a.m. CDT.

In terms of the presidential fight, the California test was crucial, perhaps decisive. According to an Associated Press count, addition of the 151 California votes brought McGovern within about 25 votes of a first-ballot nomination with other uncommitted delegates expected to move his wav. It took two votes, both decided by largei than expected margins, to settle the California credentials dispute. First, the McGovern forces overturned by a vote of 1,618.28 to 1,238.22 the Credentials decision which had been engineered by backers of Humphrey, Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie and Gov. George C. Wallace to deny McGovern all the California votes. Then, by an even broader margin of 1.689.52 to 1,162.23, the McGovern forces defeated an attempt by a Florida backer of Wallace to challenge the parliamentary ground rules set by the presiding officer, Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. In the Chicago case, too, there were two votes as the McGovern side sought at the last moment to compromise even though side said compromise was impossible.

Former Gov. Frank Morrison of Nebraska, a McGovern supporter, sought to suspend the rules and bring the compromise to the floor a procedure requring a two-thirds vote. But it failed to command even a majority, losing 1.483 08 to 1,411 05. Then, heeding the plea of fiery Rev. Jessie Jackson, who warned that one cancer remains in the body, the rest of the body politic will the convention voted 1,486.5 to 1,371.5 to reject Daley's bid to supplant the group led by Jackson and Chicago Alderman William Singer.

3 Minnesota Women Die In 2-Car Crash By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Three persons were killed in a two-car collision in Kanabac County Sunday night, boosting the Minnesota 1972 road toll to 409, compared with 461 a year ago.

10 near Cable, in Sherburne County. The Highway Patrol identified the victim as Walter N. Lundahl, 81, Hopkins. La Crosse Circuit Judge Peter. Pappas has ordered a new trial in the case of a city man convicted of drug possession, and has ordered the suppression of the evidence used in the trial which resulted in the man's conviction early this year.

The case is that of Michael G. Bonnie. 23. of 2810 Onalaska who was convicted of having LSD in his possession Sept. 11 at Sloopy's Bar, 211 Pearl St.

He had been sentenced to serve a year in County Jail. Earlier, he had been convicted of four counts of selling marijuana to a state undercover narcotics agent and he had been placed on probation for three years. Later, however, his probation on that charge was revoked for violations and he was transferred to Green Bay Reformatory to serve a three-vear sentence. The marijuana sales charges were among many such charges brought as a result of a state undercover investigation in early 1971. Bonnie had been released on bond pending trial.

In many of those drug cases, Rod, Gun Club Is Burglarized Nine cases of beer, throe cases of pop and 20 boxes of clay pigeons valued at a total of $103 were reported stolen Monday from the Holmen Rod and Gun Club in the Town of Holland by, burglars who also shot out three night lights valued at a total of $70. The thieves reportedly broke into the main club building where they stole the beer and pop by breaking a window. They also broke into a locker where they stole the clay pigeons. The club has offered a $100 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the burglars who apparently broke into the clubhouse sometime Sunday night. Man Arrested On Gun Charge A 23-year-old La Crosse man was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon a 35-caliber pistol after a former friend complained Monday that he allegedly threatened her.

The woman, 35, said she was threatened near Gundersen Ginic. Police spotted her alleged assailant's car near Lutheran Hospital and stopped it at 4th and Market Streets. Dies In Crash MELROSE, Minn. (AP) A Melrose youth died Monday of injuries suffered in an automobile collision. The death of Daniel Klo- phake.

Atty. Burleigh Randolph had sent city police a list of these defendants, Judge Pappas noted, but erroneously included Bonnie on the list.

Bonnie's arrest on the LSD charge came when police officers saw him in Sloopy's and asked him to step outside because he was violating a condition of his bond. On the way out, they testified, Bonnie attempted to dispose of a bag containing LSD tablets, but one of the officers seized his hand before he could do so. Judge Pappas ruled that the officers even though mistakenly were acting unlawfully in requiring Bonnie to accompany them and had illegally acquired the evidence. Therefore, he ruled, the levidence must be suppressed and Bonnie granted a new trial, as sought by defense lawyer Alan Cole. City Offers $44,500 For Rail Property The La Crosse Common Council Committee of the Whole Monday night voted to offer the Chicago North Western Railroad $44,500 for its freight office property between 3rd and 4th Streets north of Badger The property is needed to improve the intersections of La Crosse Street at 3rd and 4th Streets, said Gty Planner Ronald Bracegirdle.

The railroad is asking $115,000 for the property, and, said Bracegirdle, it has a prospective buyer. Asked if the railroad wouldn't be inclined to sell to a private buyer at that price, Bracegirdle said a private buyer isn't apt to pay $115,000 knowing the city could condemn the property for $44,500 after he buys it. Realtor Joseph Wavra has appraised the site at $44,500. Bracegirdle said the city could bring 3rd and 4th Sreets closer together on the railroad property so signals can be used more effectively at the tersection with La Crosse Street." Gerrard Realty offer to buy the old Central High School site for prices ranging from $70,000 to $200,000, depending on the zoning, was referred to committee for 30 days.
