AUSSIES WHIP YANKS Australia's tennis aces gave United States hopefuls an inkling of what may happen at Wimbledon next week. Frank Sedgman routed Herb Flam of Beverly Hills, Calif., in the singles semi - final Friday and Sedgman and Ken McGregor defeated Gardnar Mulloy and Dick Savitt in doubles. Sedgman's brilliant play in oust- ing Flam 6-3, 6-2 was the outstand- ing feature of the day at the Lon- don tennis championships as two Americans, Nancy Chaffee of Ven- tura, Calif., and Shirley Fry of Akron, O., gained the finals of the women's singles. Sedgman will meet Eric Sturgess South Africa's No. 1 player, in the final today.

The South African wizard, still riding the crest of success among the world's topmost professionals, has set his heart on a repeat vic- tory, 'although he knows the odds are heavily against him. If he can make it, however, Bob- by will be the first player to win the British Open three years in suc- cession, since the tournament was extended to 72 holes in 1892. All the winner reaps financially is a meagre purse of $900. "It is my ambition to achieve something no other golfer has done before," he said. *"I r A course, it will take some doing, bt if good fortune is with me it wi sive, the boys something to at." » The last man to win the open three years running was Bob Fer- guson in 1880-81-82, but the cham- pionship then was played over an 18-hole route. Two others, Jamie Anderson and Tom Morris, Jr., ac- complished the feat before him, over the same distance. When the field is sent away on the title chase July 2, only 180 players will be there to challenge Bobby's dream -- the lowest entry since 1921. Considering the Festival tea- | ttractions, tournament officials expected a turnout exceeding the gecory of 262 at Troon a year Top-flight United States stars apparently no longer regard the British Open as the financial plum it was in the days of Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Bobby Jones. FOUR AMERICANS ENTER Only four Americans have en- tered, including Johnny Bulla, twice runner-up at St. Andrews and the former British Amateur title- holder, Frank Stranahan. But despite the numerically weak North-American challenge, it won't be a walk-over for Locke. One of his serious rivals will be the Argentine ace, Roberto de Vi- cenzo, who finished second to Locke last year and third in 1948 and 1949. Norman von Nida, Australian open champion, leads a powerful group of contenders from Down Under. The United Kingdom will also be represented by a strong field, in- cluding the perennial Scottish champion, John Panton, top win- ner among the professionals this season. The Irishman Fred Dely, former holder of the Open, as well as Jack Hargreaves, Wally Smith-9 ers and Ken Bousefield, money winners in more recent tourneys, are intent on bringing the title back to the British Isles. 17-YR.-OLD GAL WINS ONTARIO GOLF TOURNEY Toronto (CP) -- Canada has a new golf star -- a 17-year-old high school student from the Lookout Point Golf Club at Fonthill, Ont. Marlene Stewart, showing a lot of heart, head and fortitude, yes- terday drove her way to the On- tario ladies golf championship, de- feating Mrs. M. H. Currer of To- ronto St. George's 7 and 5 at Lamb- ton Golf Club. Mrs. Currer, four-time Toronto and district champion, couldn't come close to the pert, freckle- faced youngster. Marlene didn't lose a hole, was three up at the end of nine and then took the next four in a row to wrap up the title on the 13th. In the semi-final, the new cham- pion played equally brilliant golf, downing the nine-times Ontario champion, Ada Mackenzie, 5 and 3. In both matches, she played steady near-par golf -- and that in the:face of gusty winds and scattered showers yesterday. This is Marlene's third season. She broke into the game at Look- out Point under the coaching of club pro Gordon McInnis. Last winter she averaged six hours a day at his winter school practising for the 1951 tournament. Although determined to make a career of the game, Marlene has been a keen student at school. Scrupulously confining her golf to she studied hard enough this year to pass Grade 11 ithou writing her final examina- ons. After today's round, Marlene sald: "I can't feel anything yet. As for the future, I'm looking forward to winning some more." She said she won by trying to keep down the middle. The win was the first major tour- victory of her career. this year, she won the To- ronto ladies golf club invitation, | defeating Miss MacKenzie in that one too. Last week she won top Bass | honors at the London Hunt ladies 5-4548 invitation tournament. CLEAN FUN By RINKER'S CLEANERS, OSHAWA SW D \ or? 1 047, By ute bn 30 SIMCOE ST. S.

Racing Fever Beginning to Stir Henley Sight Henle y -on - Thames, England (CP)-- Racing fever began to stir this lazy-looking regatta town to- day, but for 18-year-old Jack Guest of Toronto training still seemed "'a little bit monotonous." With 12 days left before the opening of the Royal Henley re- gatta, the lanky, dark-hgired Can- adian oarsman finds that two work- outs a day, six days a week, can get a trifle boring. Besides, there's nothing to do in Henley. 'It's very quiet here," Jack said in an interview. "I'm in my fourth week of training now and it's hard to work up a sense of urgency be- cause there are hardly any other competitors around." But things are picking up. Just down the river at Marlow, the an- nual tune-up for the Henley is be- in held today and Jack will prob- ably run down to scout some of the scullers he'll be meeting in the Diamony Sculls races starting July Canadian headquarters in this tranquil town of about 12,000 per- sons -- every other one of whom seems to relish the title of "Skip- per" or "Cap'n" -- are locgted in an old-world guest house which seems a natural setting for elderly matrons sipping afternoon tea. Jack's cheering section consists of his father, Jack Guest, Sr., who won the Diamonds in 1930, and Doug Halden, a rowing enthusiast from Toronto. Next week training will be sharp- ened up to include a little 'fast stuff," then Jack will taper off in readiness for the first preliminary, now less than two weeks away. The quiet-spoken student from Etobicoke high school refuses to be drawn into any predictions. He says merely he now is confident that with his new shell he can do his best. "It's a lot more comfortable," he says. "When I climbed into the other one, I couldn't get the feeling that it suited me and naturally, that had a bad effect on my row- g The "new" shell is one owned by Dan Wallace of Ottawa. Decision to use it means that a boat spe- cially built for Jack by a London combany will stay in the boat- house duting the regatta.

Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr. New York (AP)-- Charley Dres- sen is talking about giving Duke Snider a rest if Andy Pafko's charley horses will let him play centrefield for the Dodgers. . . The Giants' Leo Durocher is planning to give Eddie Stanky a breather and the Pirates have given up on Branch Rickey's experiment of making Ralph Kiner into a first- baseman and are making extensive outfield changes . . . So here it is almost mid-season and if you look at the National League lineups, the Phillies are about the only team you can recognize as the one that started last spring. .. All the Phils have done is bench Mike Goliat, who didn't hit as well after April as he did in March, and try about three other guys at second base. . . And They're having trouble stay- ing in the first division, too. JUST LOOK AT THIS Giving the lineups a quick run- down (and overlooking the pitch- ers, who would drive you comple- ers, who would drive you com- pletely nuts: . Dodgers (league leaders) -- Cal Abrams and Dick Williams getting the lefty - righty treatment in left field, where Don Thompson started... Giants (se- cond) -- Willie Mays, after a bad start, made himself solid in centre, replacing in-and-out Bobby Thom- son; Mont Irvin returned to out- field and Whitey Lockman sta- tioned at first... Braves -- new manager Tommy Holmes just re- placed Billy Southworth; shortstop- second base combination still unset tled. . .Reds -- Lloyd Merriman re- placed Joe Adcock in left field; several switches in the infield, using the same men . . . Cards: Solid men are Stan Musial, Red Schoendienst and Enos Slau hter (also due for a rest) Solly Hemus is back at short after giving way to Stan Rojek. Ex - Yankee Billy Johnson, ex-Pirate Wally Westlake and Nippy Jones, back from the minors, complete an improved lineup. . .Pirates -- Kiner return- ing to the outfigld and Bill Hower- ton replacing George Metkovich (another tired player) leaves only Gus Bell and George Sfrickland playing where they started. . .Cubs -- Frank Baumbholtz and Hal Jeff- coat still are in the outfield, al- though they've shifted around there Otherwise the only guy you'd re- cognize when Chicago comes to town is Manager Frank Frisch, Lord Layton Meets Australian Champ -- Clash of Technique There'll be a ¢~'» of two en- tirely different brands of wrestling technique when Tord A n°' takes on Fred Atkins, in the main bout of the weekly show at the arena here Tuesday evenng. Few have beaten Atkins, who is a versatile opponent but this will be Layton's chance to show his clean, scientific style, featuring the side- chop and his English octopus hold against Atkins' traditional slugg- ing, usually topped off with his kangaroo clamp. If Layton's size and strength prove inadequate then a victory by Atkins will likely be the result but tht main bout will have. to provide top action to prove more popular than what is expected in the other two bouts. Mike Sharpe faces Lee Henning in the semi-final and brother Ben Sharpe takes on Dan- gerous Dan O'Connor, the rugged Irisher, in the preliminary.

Wrigley, | Jr., owner of Chicago Cubs, called | yesterday for a new charter for the Baseball Commissioner's job as a search for a successor to A. B.| Chandler began in earnest: 'Before we can pick the man, we | must decide what the job is,' ' said | Wrigley in a telephone interview | from Chicago. "Up to now the| duties have* been negative. The | Baseball Commissioner should not | be a policeman. He should be a | leader." Chandler resigned effective July 15. At that time control of base- ball will pass into the hands of an executive committee composed of Will Harridge, American League president; Ford Frick, National League president; Tom Yawkey, Boston Red Sox; and Warren Giles, Cincinnati Reds. Wrigley is a member of the "screening committee" appointed to sift candidates for Chandler's job. Their work is complete, he said, and a list has been drawn up. Now it is up to baseball owners io make their decision. There have been two trends of thought in baseball. One is to get a national figure. The name of Jim Farley, former United States postmaster general, has been heard most frequently in this con- nection. The other is to get a base- ball man. George Trautman, head | of the minors, probably leads Sentiment seemed unanimous that baseball would not be in any | hurry to pick a successor to Chand- ler.

There is Chico Catrasquel, rated by some the best shortstop in the business. He came up via Caracas, Venzuela. Orestes Minoso, the Cuban speed- ster, is battling for the league bat- ting championship. He is a 'speed demon as well. And to the list must now be added Luis Aloma, another Cuban, who pitched a shutout Sunday in his first big league start to bring a much-needed victory over the Frank Lane, general manager of the White Sox, is proudest of his deal that brought Carrasquel to the team from thee Brooklyn Dod- ger organization. "Funny thing," Lane said, '"'we were looking for a replacement for shortstop Luke, and Branch Ric- key had five shortstops -- Bobby Morgan, Rocky Bridges, Danny O'Connell, Buddy Hicks and Chico Carrasquel. He rated Carrasquel fourth or fifth '"The one man I wanted was Car- rasquel. I knew about him from an umpire who had seen him in Venezuela in the winter.

Recently named America's best dressed golfer, Demaret proved at the United States Open at Birming- ham, Mich., last week that it isn't only clothes that makes the golfer. Demaret chased the nation's top golf honor to the diminutive Hogan. The popular Texan finished fourth behind Hogan, Clayton Heafner, and the famed Bobby Locke of South Africa. Golf students believe that the Canadian team, Leonard of Van- couver, and Gray of Toronto, will provide Demaret and his upcoming young partner, Burke, with a ser- fous battle over the rugged 72-par Niagara Parks course. 000. Manager Paul Richards says he is the greatest shortstop he has ever seen. He batted .282 last year, his freshman season. In the field, he covers tremendous ground. He is a floater who eases effortlessly into position for impossible stops. Minoso has been with the Sox he rivals Carrasquel as the club's most popular player.
