Kline, Lyle thwart
From Wire Service Reports
NEW YORK-Last night, the
hallowed baseball stadium at 161
St. and River Ave. in the Bronx
was .the site of a rare pheno-
menon. Its normally vacant seats
were filled to near capacity as
a crowd of about 50,000 were on
hand to watch New York hurlers
Steve Kline and Sparky Lyle
pitch the Yankees to a 1-0 cliff-
hanger against the Detroit Ti-
gers.
The victory moved the third
place Bombers to within two
games of the front running
Bengals, who have lost 8 of their
last 11.
Starters Kline and Joe Cole-
man for Detroit were mowing
down the hitters left and right
with the only run to cross the
plate coming in the fourth in-
ning.
Bobby Murcer lead off with
his second two bagger of the
contest and scampered to third
on a grounder by Ron Blomberg.
Then, with two gone, veteran
Johnny Callison barely legged
out an infield hit to second to
score Murcer.
Kline was breezing along with
a three hitter going into the
ninth but had shown signs of
tiring in the previous frame.
Thus, Yankee skipper Ralph
Houk, to no one's surprise, call-
ed upon his messiah, Lyle, who
already had 25 saves to his
credit.
However number 26 was one of
Lyle's toughest and most excit-
ing. Gates Brown greeted his
Beng
first pitch with a long double to
right center. After Norm Cash
fanned on a sinking curve, pinch-
hitter Bill Freehan grounded up
the middle for an infield hit,
while pinch runner Tony Taylor
held at second.
Jim Northrup advanced the
runners with a grounder which
brought Willie Horton to the
plate with the go-ahead run in
scoring position. Houk decided
to walk Horton to load the bases
which would bring up weak hit-
ting Eddie Brinkman.
Magic Number: 50
Then Billy Martin made a
move, pinch hitting Ike Brown
for Brinkman. Lyle's first pitch
to Brown was wild and only a
fine stop by Thurman Munson
saved a run from scoring. After
that, Lyle settled down to whiff
Brown and the largest crowd to
witness a Yankee home game in
almost a decade roared with
pennant-fever approval.

vanced to third on a fly to right,
but Ryerson retired Boog Powell

SPASSKY IN A HOLE
Game of kings adjourned
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (M'-The
13th game of the world chess
championship between titleholder
Boris Spassky and his American
challenger, Bobby Fischer, was
adjourned last night after 41
moves,
Spassky was considered in an
almost' hopeless position against
Fischer-,
Experts said the Russian seem-
ed doomed to drop further be-
hind Fischer in the 24-game
title series.
Spassky sealed his 42nd move
and handed it to the referee. It
will be played first when the
game resumes today.
Fischer leads the series 7-5.
He needs 121/ points to win the
world crown, while the Russian
needs 12 points to keep it. A win
counts one point and a draw
counts one-half.
Spassky, 35, opened the 13th
game with the same move he
used in winning the 11th game
last Sunday-pawn to king four.
Fischer, 29, responded with
the Alekhine defense, one he has
used only five times in his
career, instead of the Sicilian
Weaver takes lead at
Wesehester Classic
HARRISON, N. Y. UP) -
Burly DeWitt Weaver, a former
football player, at Southern
Methodist, shouldered past
Jack Nicklaus. with a stunning;
eight-under-par 64 and took
the first round yesterday in
the $250,000 Westchester Golf
Classic.
The graying, 32-year-old
Weaver had to fire his career
best round to take a one-stroke
lead over Nicklaus . and Steve
Melnyk, a struggling tour
rookie, who were tied at 65 on
the- tight and tidy 6,700-yard
Westchester Country Club in
the New York suburbs.
Dwight Nevil, a tour soph-
omore and former Dallas fire-
man, and big Labron Harris
followed with 66s t cool, sun-
ny weather.
In a group at 67, five under
par, where Wayne Yates, a for-
mer tourist and now a club pro
in Atlanta, Bob Murphy and
slim Australian Bruce Devlin.
While the relatively short
course yielded some extremely
low scores, it exacted its toll
from some of the game's stars.
Defending champion Ar-
nold Palmer, playing in his
s i x t h consecutive tour-
nament, had three sixes on
his card en route to a 73
and South African Gary
Player, the recently crowned
PGA champion, was unable
to better than match par 72.
Sam Snead, the 60-year-old
marvel who finished fourth in
the PGA Championship last
week had to withdraw because
of illness.
"It was the same thing as
last week," the obviously dis-
gusted Palmer said. "My put-
ting and chipping were just aw-
ful."
British Open champion Lee
Trevino is not competing.
Weaver, a one-time back-up
quarterback to Don Meredith
when both were at Southern
Methodist, had to birdie his fi-
nal hole - the ninth -- to
take sole possession of the lead
in the chase for a $50,000 first
prize.
The stocky guy who scor-
ed his only tour triumph last
year in the ' Professional
Match Play Championship
had been in a slump all sea-
son with only some $15,000
in winnings.
He predicted last week, how-
ever, that he was ready to pull
out of it.
"I shot 293 at the PGA but I
putted like an idiot," the At-
lanta resident said. "Then Mon-
day, I played in a pro-:am and I
had less than 34 putts for the
first time in I don't know how
long.

ing a little bit."

In commenting on yesterday's
play, the Soviet news agency
Tass said:
"It is rather symptomatic that
failing to achieve success in the
seventh and eleventh games,
Fischer resorts to this system of
play developed by one of the
originators of the Russian chess
control."
That, however, was before
Fischer fought his way into what
looked like a winning position.
