Odds‘makers Betting on Tigers-Orioles Battle By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer With 1,065 games of the long major league baseball season on the record books, the expert odds-makers have decreed that the race between the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles in the American League East is - the only one of four divisional races which is not \lockedup.\ The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds in the National League East and West Divi- sions, respectively and the Oakland Athletics in the Ameri- can League West are listed as prohibitive 1-8 favorites. Their first-place margins when play resumes in both leagues tonight after the All-Star break are 5% games for the Pirates, six for: the Reds and 6 ' for the A's. The three-time AL champion Orioles trail the Tigers by one game in the AL East but are favored to win the division crown at 4-5 odds. The Tigers are listed at 7-5 despite their current first-place status. Within thebaseball establish- ment,however, there is still the belief that close races will develop in at least two of the other three divisions. The Pirates' and Reds' pitching staffs are still suspect among baseball men who see how the Mets in the NL East and the Houston Astros in the NL West could make up ground rapidly and close in on the front- runners. The Athletics seem to be the Fischer Relaxes With Hamburger on Day Off By JIM WARD REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPD -Bobby Fischer came out of his shell. The 29-year-old American challenger for the world chess title, who settled for a tie in his . seventh game against champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union Wednesday, turned up in the cafeteria of his hotel after the game to have a hamburger, chatwith fans, and-inevitably -set up a chess board to study moves. - . It was, in effect, Fischer's first public appearance in Iceland. Apart from - his moments at the chess board in the downtown hall where the 24- game series of matches are being held, he has remained holed up first in a private villa and later in the presidential suit of a hotel. . The eighth game was sche- duled for today, beginning at 5 p.m. with Fischer playing white ABA Names Carlson New Commissioner NEW YORK (UPI) -Robert Carlson became the American Basketball Association's third commissioner today with a promise \to serve as long as they need me\ and the hope that he would 'be given authority denied to his prede- cessor, Jack Doiph. The 47-year-old Wall Street attorney, who has represented the ABA in many legal hassles during the last few years, was chosen Wednesday by the league trustees. \I will serve as long as they need . me,\ he said. \...K- a merger with the National Basketball Association occurs I would go back to the firm. \But we have to make plans to operate and be successful on our own,\ he continued. \We will be a 1i0-team league this year. I am not at liberty to discuss which franchise will be 'added but an annoupgcement will be made withi e next week.\ ' The li-team ABA of 1971-72 became a nine-team league when the Pittsburgh - and Floridian teams gave up their franchises. Carlson said one ofhis first tasks will be to obtain a television package for the ABA -an area in which the league has lagged badly behind the rival NBA.

After Wednesday's game, instead of returning to his suite he went to the cafeteria and ordered a hamburger. He sat down at a table and immediate- ly set up a chess board. When several patrons gingerly ap- proached him he appeared affable and friendly in contrast to the shell he has put around himself since his arrival three weeks ago. At the end of the seventh game, . Fischer led four points to three points for Spassky, a 35-year-old Leningrad journa- list. With a maximum of 24 games scheduled, Fischer needs 12% points to win and Spassky 12 to retain his championship. Another matter still unsettled was the question of television. Fischer has refused to permit cameras to film the play despite a $125,000 contract. But Wednesday night he agreed to discuss the matter with Ameri- can - Broadcasting - Company (ABC) executives and said he was willing to go to the hall and see if a new position for the cameras was satisfactory. For the end of the seventh game-it started Tuesday but was adjourned until Wednesday after 40 moves-Fischer ar- rived late, as he has for every match. But Spassky appeared unconcerned. He leaned back and rocked in his new $470 black leather swivel chair, then got up and strolled round the flower-decorated stage as if he was out for a Sunday afternoon walk. As Fischer walked in German referee Lothar Schmid ap- proached - the wooden chess board. The 1,500 spectators watched silently while Schmid quickly slit open the large brown envelope at Fischer's side and moved the white pawn one square-a move Spassky had decided on the day before and had left in a sealed envelope. The Russian world champion had found what appeared to be the only move to escape defeat. One hour and eight moves later it was over. Fischer looked up, Spassky nodded and accepted the challenger's hand. The seventh game in the world chess championship had been drawn on the 49th move. PPT 0 o Track Results BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPT)-Nan- cin Adora and Bo Scot's Taffy each won the $11,980.59 purse for their division Wednesday in the New York Sire Stakes at Buffalo Raceway. , Nancin Adora, driven by Rob- ert Cherrix, beat No Personali- ty by 2% lengths and crossed the wire in 2:08 to pay $11.20, - $4.40 and $2.80. Sue Acton was | third. Bo Scot's Taffy, driven by Harold Story, beat Imortal Ba- min by 1% lengths with a time | of 2:05.3. The winner paid $6.80, PEN HOUSE July 28 safest bet to win their division title on the strength of a pitching staff anchored by Jim Hunter and all-around offensive and defensive skills which appear superior to those of the second-place Chicago White Sox. The Tigers are atop the AL East Division on thestrength of a well-balanced offense and defense plus the powerful pitching of 17-game winner Mickey Lolich, who seems to be emerging as everybody's choice as the No. 1 pitcher in the game today. The Orioles, meanwhile, have been trans- formed by Manager | Earl Weaver from a team dependent on veterans to one dependent on young players. The odds-makers' reasoning in listing the Orioles as favorites over the Tigers seems to be that, for all their troubles and the absence of Frank Rébinson, they are only that one game behind Detroit. Tiger supporters argue, on the other hand, that the Detroit veterans are more likely to stand up -> urnider the pressure of a close race than the young Orioles. In the NL - East, the unrelenting pressure of the Pirates' top-to-bottom batting strength is the most important factor. The Mets can make a strong run if currently-injured players return for the stretch run and they have superior pitching. But even with : things equal, the Pirates' rat- tat-tat offense appears to give them the edge The Reds have stormed to their six-game lead thanks to a brilliant comback by 1970 MVP Johnny Bench, better speed and defense and a pitching staff that hasperformed better than most experts thought it would. The Astros, however, are admirably equipped to make a strong run and even the somewhat disappointing Los Angeles Dodgers haven't been counted out of the race. Pros Up Against T-Option ' THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (UPI)-The triple option with all its complexities will proba- bly get a full tryout Friday night for the first time against a professional football club. Tom Landry, as much as anyone, is curious as to what the results will be. The College All-Stars are expected to run some triple option plays against the Super Bowlchampion Dallas Cowboys in the opening game of the pro football season with Jerry Tagge of national champion Nebraska quarterbackiing the offense. ''This is an intriguing game for a lot of people,\ said Landry on the eve of his club's departure for Chicago. \This was all the off-season talk about how the pros would defense the triple option. \The way this game goes will influence some (professional football) people one way or another. I think the option will work in the pros, but I don't think it would work as a steady diet. I don't think - your quarterbacking would last in the pros.\ Lone star design ATLANTA (UPI) - Joanna Troutman of Crawford County, Ga., designed the Lone Star flag of Texas in 1836.

Main & Maple Ridge Rd. 0A ~ i ; Deadline 'the two teen-agers Spe\ Today} Sport Parade SPORTS _ WRITER ATLANTA - (UPT)-Carefree, young, healthy and collecting better than a thousand bucks a week for doing whatever he pleases, and that includes nothing, Dave Bristol looks like the living, breathing model of the man who has everything. Looks have a way of being deceiving, though. Get Dave Bristol to bare some of his soul and he'll «surprise you by confiding he really has nothing. Dave Bristol is what they call an obsessive compulsive. He Misses Baseball The thing he's compulsively obsessive about is work. He loves it. The more the better. Even Frank Lane, the general manager of the Milwaukee Brewers who fired Bristol two months ago, will tell you he's never seen a harder worker in his life, and Lane has been around a long, long time. Dave Bristol, who's 39 and could pass for maybe 10 years younger, showed up here for the All-Star game, ostensibly to see some of his old baseball buddies, and naturally one of the first things they asked him was whether he missed base- ball.\ \Do I?\ said Dave Bristol, those big blue eyes of his becoming a mile wide. \Every day a little bit more. Every day I set aside a little time to meditate about base- ball. I try to figure out what I did wrong and how I can do better next time because I've got a long time ahead of me. I read those boxscores assiduous- ly every day.\ Several Clubs Interested Even though he's no longer working for them, the Brewers keep paying Bristol every two weeks on the basis of his $60,000-a-year contract. All the other ball clubs know Bristol would much rather work than sit around at home in Andrews, N.C., and you keep hearing a lot of things about where he could wind up next. You keep hearing Houston is interested in Dave Bristol. You know the Phillies are because they called him before they let go Frank Lucchesi, presumably to ask his advice about some American - League players, which is the oldest dodge in the world when you wish to establish contact with a pros- pective manager without wak- ing up the whole county. You also know the Indians offered Bristol the managership last fall before they gave it to Ken Aspromonte, and Bristol turned down the job to stay with the Brewers. One thing you can make book on: Dave Bristol will be back in baseball. Preferably manag- ing in the big leagues, but one way or another he'll be back. He's an obsessive compulsive, a doer, who simply can't sit still, and won't very long.

Nicklaus, who teamed with Palmer to win the title the last two years, pulled out Wednes- day following surgery Tuesday night for an infected forefinger on his right hand.

The bill would forbid cross- town busing of , elementary pupils under any circumstances Superintendent John Brandt Lafayette, a former bike racer himself notes. that cycling is increasing - in - popularity - throughout the United States. There, are some 5 million registered motorcycles in the country. Many factory, dealer, and individual sponsored machines are, expected at the SuperFair - competition, and entries will - remain open until the day of the . race itself. Women have been permitted to enter AMA motorcycle races since last year, and several female entries will probably compete in the Fair event. Racing speeds will average 100 mph, exceeding that mark on the straightways. Bike's will have engines averaging 500 to 650 cc's with 750 cc being the largest. Racing motorcycles do not have brakes, and drivers use a steel- soled left boot as they lean hard into the turns. ' Two heats are expected in each class.
