Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, July 8, 1965 Nancy McCredie PETER SNELL New Zealand Marvel In Slump Or Finished ' ms | JACK SULLIVAN Press Sports Editor A few months ago when Peter Snell set a world record of 3:54.1 for the mile, his coach Hal Lydiard said that was noth- ing. A 3:50 mile was within the grasp of the 26-year-old wonder boy from New Zealand. Snell would do it this year be- cause he was getting a little tired of galloping around the world's cinder paths picking up gold medals and world records. He would retire in 1966, write a book, tend to his business as public relations man for a to- bacco company and let the world runners try to get under the magic 3:50 clocking. Track experts were inclined to go along with Lydiard's pre- diction. Here was a chap who came out of nowhere to win the 800 metres at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, added two Toronto, ROBERTO CLEMENTE Jimmy Hall of Minnesota at bat during the week to boost Twins.

The Milwaukee Braves slugger had only six hits in 34 times at bat. This not only trimmed his average from .351 to .328 but plummeted him from the top to fourth place.

MALE PROS SAYS LADIES' CHAMPION By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK (AP) -- The male tournament golf pros are a bunch of cry-babies who play too slowly and over- dramatize their shots, says the new Women's Open Cham- pion of the United States. "Why do the men pros take five and six-hours to play a round that the girls get over in three hours and a half?" Long - stemmed Carol Mann, repeated a question. "The answer is simple--the girls don't lollygag. They just step up and hit their shots." Miss Mann, 23, a profes- sional golfer from Towson, Md., chided her masculine counterparts today. "L try to find some justifi- cation for the way they act-- maybe it's all that tively ridiculous. "Put them on a course where they -have to hit two- irons or three - woods to a green and they yelp as if they had been stuck with an ice pick. 'WE NEVER COMPLAIN' "Why, the women play long irons and woods off the fair- ways all the time and never complain." Carol said she sees no rea- | son why the men should take almost twice as long to get around 18 holes. "It's true the men's courses are longer, but we're hitting the same clubs to the greens they are.
