| Canada's Elaine Turner Sets World Record Mark KINGSTON, Jamaica (CP)-- England end Australia, who be- tween them have won more gold medais ihan ine rest of ine Com- monwealth put together since the British Empire Games be- gan 36 years ago, are battling it out again for athletic honors. As the 1966 Games reached the halfway mark, the 108-mem- ber Canadian team had 25 med- als, and seemed neadeu for one of its best showings in Games history. England and Australia share 78 of the 153 medals awarded for 51 championships so far. England captured eight gold medals Tuesday with victories in badminton, fencing, cycling weightlifting') shooting and swimming. The team now has 18 golds, five more than Aus- tralia. Canada has six golds. Australian swimmers broke two world records and equalled another Tuesday night, But the day belonged to Elaine Tanner of Vancouver who won her sec- ond gold medal and set a world mark. Miss Tanner and Ralph Hut- ton of Ocean Falls, B.C., won four medals between them in the four swimming finals Tues- day night. FINISHES SECOND TWICE Hutton's efforts in three indi- vidual events have produced two second-place silvers and one bronze for third. He won another silver as a member of the sec- ond-place $80-yard freestyle re- jay team. Miss Tanner, 15, displayed her versatility by breaking the world record and winning both a gold and silver medal all within 45 minutes. She slashed two seconds off the world mark in the women's 290 butterfly with a clocking of 2:29.9. Her team-mate, Maruyn Gorson of Parry Sound, Ont., got the silver medal. Within the hour, she was swimming again, this time in the women's 110 - yard back- stroke final. But in this event, she just failed to take the title away from the holder, Linda Lud- grove of England, who got home by less than a yard ahead of Miss Tanner, the silver winner. Earlier in the day, Elaine qualified for the final of the women's 440 - yard individual medley. SETS WORLD MARK Hutton, 18, chased Australia's} Peter Reynolds to a world rec-| ord and equalled the former) mark himself as he finished) backstroke. Fifteen minutes later, he bat-| tled with Robert Windle' and) John Bennett of Australia in the) 440-yard freestyle final. BOBBY BRAGAN FIRED | Eddie Matthews' Homer Hitchcock's By HAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer That little ulcer most mana- gers pamper probably has a running start on Billy Hitchcock after his first game as skipper of Atlanta Braves. Hitchcock, who replaced Bobby Bragan as manager of the Braves Tuesday, piloted the club to a 2-1 victory over Sandy Koufax and Los Angeles Dodg- ers. And it took four hours, 24 minutes to do the job. Ed Mathews ripped a homer in the ninth, ending the game which was delayed for two hours, five minutes by rain in the fourth inning. Denny Lemaster, who finished with a three-hitter, held the Dodgers hitless for seven in- nings, protecting a 1-0 lead pro- vided by Felipe Alou's leadoff homer in the first. After the rain, watched his outfielders trot through puddles catching fly balls to preserve the no-hit bid. Then, in the eighth inning, Jim Lefebvre ended the spell with a leadoff homer, tying the score. There was one out in the ninth when Mathews lined his eighth homer into the right field seats, ending the game, Elsewhere in the National Hitchcock First Win Pirates shaded New York Mets 2-1, Cincinnati Reds edged San Francisco Giants 3-2, St. Louis Cardinals downed Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 and Houston Astros ripped Chicago Cubs 8-5. Lemaster allowed only two hits, struck out 10 and pulled his record to 10-8. Koufax, who finished with a four-hitter and hine strikeouts, lost his sixth against 18 victories. About 40,000 of the record At- lanta crowd of 52,270 sat out the long rain delay and stayed un- til the game was over. Donn Clendenon doubled in one run and scored the other on pitcher Woody Fryman's single as the Pirates edged the Mets. The Mets knocked Fryman out, scoring their run on two hits and a walk in the seventh, Hutton was leading at the three-quarter mark despite a couple of bad turns but he grad- ually gave way to Windle and was nipped by Bennett in the last few yards for second place, having pushed Windle's time to a world record--4:15.0. Louise Kennedy of London, Ont., was fifth in the back- stroke. Ron Jacks of Vancouver took fourth in the 440 freestyle and Sandy Gilchrist, another Ocean Falls swimmer, was fifth. The Canadian team won three medals in badminton and shoot- ing, making a total of eight for the day. EARNS A SILVER Sharon Whittaker, 24, of Tor- onto, was the losing finalist in the women's badminton singles and earned the silver. Shooting medals were won by Dr. Jules Sobrian, Omemee, Ont., and Gary McMahon, Dart- mouth, N.S., in the free pistol event, An Englishman, Charles Sexton, won the gold with 544 points. Sobrian captured the sil- ver with 538 and McMahon the bronze with 536. In fencing, England took its second in the men's 220-yard|fourth gold medal. Bill Hoskyns| |of Somerset won the men's epee} and another Englishman, John Pelling, the silver. Peter Bakonyt of Vancouver and Konrad Widmaier of Toron- to were eliminated after reach- ing the semi-finals.

The biggest weightlifting crowd oi ihe Games turned out to see Louis Martin return, to the city of his birth and win a gold medal--for England, his adopted country.

Reichardt's condition was pro- nounced satisfactory later and a spokesman estimated he would be in hospital about 10 days.

Berry drove in the winning run in a 2-1 victory over Kansas City Athletics Tuesday night. The triumph, their fifth straight, boosted the White Sox inte fifth place, one nercentage point ahead of Minnesota Twins. Berry was a major disappoint- ment to Chicago officials last year when, as a rookie, he played in 157 games and batted a meager .218.
