About the game, that, is. Actually, batting balls ai,t,a night lighted court in the coal Of the evening or in the glorious tropical dawn isn't such a crazy idea, at that. It was *anted up by the management Of one of Montego Bay's 30 hotels offering tennis to the today .generation of courtiers. Thirteen of these places have courts with night lights right on the premises, and while most, places request you to concede by midnight, it's comforting to know that a late late show is at least possible. Because Montego Bay has more hotels than any .other area in Jamaica, it naturallyhas more courts. However, the citizenry has always been a little tennis - happy, so in addition to the 98 courts available to hotel guests around the island, there are an uncounted number attached to rented villas and private homes. Most are hard or all-weather courts, but Jamaica being both tropical and of British heritage, there remain a fair number of beautiful grass courts, especially in the Kingston and Mandeville areas, where the old British -style clubs are still maintained in true stiff -upper -lip fashion: But the news is that the Intercontinental Forum overlooks Kingston Harbor will have U11 -weather courts with night As a consequence of this available bounty, tennis players in all stages of accomplishment are discovering Jamaica as an ideal vacation destination. Most people who have caught the fever scarcely look at the scenery if there are good courts and plenty of people to play with. In Jamaica, they can catch a glimpse of spectacular views as a bonus -and even get to enjoy them while changing sides or perhaps trying out a new court with a new acquaintance. Most of Jamaica's hotels offer their courts free to guests and charge it nominal fee to others. The Montego Bay Racquet Club has three pros, six tenches courts and offers all-night play that ends with a seven a.m. breakfast. Half Moon Hotel, which is construct- ing a sports . center on the grounds, has seven all-weather courts and has lust become the home of Jamaica's top player, Richard Russell, who will hence- forth be the hotel's pro. The new Fairfield Inn has three hard and three grass courts and is con- structing two more: the hotel courts with night lights in the Montego Bay area are at Bay Roc, Chatham Beach,.the Colgny, Holiday Inn, Malvern, Miranda Hill, Pemco, Royal Caribbean, Round Hill, Sign Great House and Tryall. Two hard courts with night lights are under con- struction at Ironshore Country Club and the Trelawney Beach at Falmouth will have four night - lighted hard courts. In the -Runaway Bay area you can go to night court at Club Caribbean, with two and Runa- way Bay Hotel with two. In the direction of Ocho Rios, you will find two each at Carib Ocho Rios., Jamaica Hilton, Playboy Club Hotel and Shaw Park Beach. Tower Isle offers three plexipave and one cement, while Plantation Inn and Silver Seas each offer one hard court. Guests of Casa Maria may play at the Port Maria Club, while in Port Antonio, a . hard core of tennis buffery, Frenchman's Cove, Dragon Bay and Goblin Hill each have two hard courts. Even the Bonnie View, perched lip on a mountain, has a court that could scarcely be topped when it comes to .scenic gran- deur. Over on the south coast hotel guests may choose among three clubain the vicinity of Kingston: Caymans Golf and Country Club, with two, Liguanea Club min New Kingston, with four night .irm OLDIE ENGLISflROAM THE OLDS ENGLISH A MOST INTER- ESTING PUZZLE TRELLI STRELLIS .

CHESS TIME Reckless flay spells oblivion By JOSEPH MILL BROW In addition to a few other things, Bobby Fischer has been referred to by his critics as a chess machine. 'He re- sponded.that people call you a machine when you're suc- cessful, but when you lose, they stop. Labels are applied in all sports, but because chess is uniquely mental, you can dramatize your predicament in a hip kind of fashion, as Emanuel Lasker did in 1910. He was defending his title against the Austrian drawing genius Karl Schlechter, who notched a win early in the match and needed but to draw the remaining games to be- come the new world chain - pion. Lasker recorded his dai- ly impressions for Vienna's Neue Freie Presse. His despair resembled the wail of an arthritic -existentialist. "Schlechter attaches more importance to safety. The gain must be clear and suc- cess certain before he will consent to remove his forces from their base. A mere pros- pect of gain cannot seduce him, and it is as though he said to his opponents, 'Beat me if you care Lasker brooded about a "modern" problem: "How can one beat a man who meets offers of success and threats of an apparent attack with 'equal calm, thinks first of all Of his own safety, and pursues this aim scientifically? The answer is for the moment un- known, but theoretically it can be said that, if initiative in the right place was combined with such strategy, the per- fect style would be attained, and Schlechter would be in- vincible." • But Schlechter's ' initiative . cametoo late. Needing a draw in the° final game, he played recklessly and lost. What made his case poignant was ' the aftermath. Had he won, he'd undoubtedlyy have pros- pered, traveled much, and lived better than was his sub- sequent lot. As a loser, . Schlechtet remained in Aus- tria, suffered,privation during World War 1, and died of mal- nutrition shortly before the Armistice. A few years ago Soviet chess theorist A. S. Suetin vis- ited India and was struck by the connection ' between ex- treme poverty and the failure of artistic achievement. Indian chess was undergo- ing a profound crisis, Suetin noted in Chess magazine,' of 'Sutton Coldfield, England. Textbooks were almost non- existent, and competitive op- portunities for leading play- ers were drying up. "The Hyderabad master, M. Has- san, has outstanding talent," he observed, "but unfortu-r nately lives in great poverty." But elsewhere things are changing for chess. New images of dynamism and imagination, spurred by Fischer's performance in the sutruner of '72, are bringing in new talent and money aching to bask in those reflection California's Paul Masson winery is backing a new class - championship tournament, and the innovative Bobby Darrin Invitational was post- poned to 1975 only ° to avoid conflicts for grandmasters committed to Candidates and ° Crossroads i Published every Wednesday as the big, action cross-country section in The Listowel Banner, The Wingham Advance -Times and The Mount Forest Confederate.

Great Britain's foremost chess patron remains finan- cier Jim Slater, the man who doubled the Fischer-Spassky jackpot. Fortune's recent pro- file pictured him at a chess- board and hinted that his dy- ° nanism is not unconnected with the fact that he "was an introverted boy who filled his room with books on chess." In Holland, which neglected Van Gogh in his lifetime, big industrial concerns stand in line to sponsor chess tourna- ments. "It is good advertising for them," explained ex -world champion, Max Euwe. But then he added the illuminat- ing sidelight that "Money de- voted to cultural ends is not subject to tax." LEIDEN, HOLLAND - 1970 BENONI DEFENSE ti .

By DR.:SrAN JACKSON Most domestic pets adapt well to climate changes, but this doesn't necessarily In. cluck, very extreme climate changes Certainly tempera- tures 'below freezing are not as comfortable for most short - haired cats and doge as ,for pets with longer haircoata. Any abrupt change of tem- perature - going from a warm house to the snowy out- doors - may stress an animal sufficiently to allow bacterial or viral infections to become active disease processes. This is similar to what happens in people, as I'm sure you've heard . your doctor tell you many times. Frost bite and pneumonia are two important diseases to be on guard 'for during the colder months of the year. Cats also have a taste for anti- freeze, and discarded con- tainers can be a fatal source of the toxic material. • Good common sense will al- low you to keep your pet healthy every month of the year. But extreme changes in temperatures should be avoided as much as possible. Q Q. Our toy pomeranian dog has become very • badly matted. We have heard that if you clip off a long-haired dog's hair the dog will become sick and die. If we are able to clip her hair how much can we take off? Will it all grow back again? - G.A., Hanna, Alber- ta, Canada. A. I don't think your dog would die from such a drastic haircut, but she might miss her fur coat during your cold Canadian winters. Try,,,comb- ing out the mats, and clipping the Thicker mats with scis- sors. Any and all hair you clip will grow back, and if you pe- riodically brush or comb out the hair as it grows in you can prevent the hair from mai-. ting.
