‘Riders Open With 7-6 Win

MONTREAL, Aug. 2s —(CP) _ Ottawa Rcughriders opened the local Big Four football schedule here today with a 7-6 victory over Montreal Alouettes in a bltteny fought galrne that ended in a draw- packed final quarter.

The opener was played under a cloudy sky but in mid-summer-like weather before a paid attendance of 14.968.

The single point that separated the teams came from a blocked kick that opened the scoring in the third quarter. Alouettes went in front with a converted touchdown in the same quarter and the Rid. ers duplicated the irlck in the fourth. "

Fighting desperately with only a few plays left, Alouettes got with- in field goal distance and Chos McCance dropped back to the Ot- tawa 35-yard line to make the at- tempt.

The ball was far short but bounded over the line into the hands of Wlli Tremblay, who was just about on the goal line when he was downed by Chuck Ander- son and a swarm of Alouette play- us. When they were untangied the officials ruled ‘rremblay was out» side the line about six inches. The Alouette players made their dis- pleasure known. The Riders simply froze the ball on the remaining two line plays and it. was all over.

FOREST HILLS, N.Y., Aug. 30- _(AP) Extinction, quick and Dinless. came today to Australia's Davls-Cuppers for the fourth straight time. with Ted Schroeder's rapier-like racquet the lethal wea- pon.

The volatile United States ace played some of the finest tennis of a brilliant career as h over- whelmed Frank Sedgman, l-ycar- old Australian champion, 6-4. 6-4, 8-3, in the deciding match of the Davis Cup challenge round. His surprisingly one-sided victory, ach- ieved in only an hour and five minutes bclore 10.000 in the sun- bathed stadium, gave the United States the third victory needed to retain the big international tro- phy and still Aussies hopes, which had been high after their triumph in yesterday's thrilling doubles contest.

It also turned into a tame anti- cllmax the closing match, in which Pancho Gonzales. another fierce swinger from California. downéd Billy Sidwell, hero oi the doubles. by scores oi 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. to make the final count 4-1 for the United States.

Since the first post-war challenge round at. Melbourne in '46, the Americans have won l6 straight singles matches. seven of them by Schroeder. They have lost two doubles while winning the ss.rne number.

sedgmams failure to give Schroe- der a real battle in the decider surprised everybody.

He never really had a chance against his court-wise 28-year-old opponent. Never relaxing on a single point from his rip-caring attack, Schroeder clawed hs way to the net ceaselessly and applied such pressure that Sedgman _fln- ally went almost completely to pieces toward the end.

All that need be said about Gon- zales was that he looked every inch the killer that Schroeder did.

Probably dispirited by Bedl- man's loss, Sidwell did not pro- duce the fiery game he displayed in carrying Schroeder to five sets in the opening singles match Fri- day. But he still was a pretty good bundle oi tennis, and it was Pan- cho's "big" game which never gave him an opening.

Yesterday's doubles contest was one ot the best in Davis Cup his- tory. Twc sets down and seeming- ly outclassed, John Bromwich and

Cards’ Stars Drop Suiis

NEW YORK. Aug. 30 —— (AP)— Max Lanier and Fred Martin, St. Louis Cardinals’ returned Mexi- can League “jumpers", Saturday decided to drop their $2,500,000 suit against organized baseball.

The two Cardinal pitchers made known their intentions in a letter to Fred Saigh. president of the National League club.

The case of Lanier and Martin, along with that of Danny Gar- della. had been given priority action in Federal Court here. The suits of the three had been plac- ed at the bottom of the November calendar.

Gardella's suit for $300,000 in damages is the only one left chal- lenging baseball's controversial reserve clause.

Gardclla. one-time outfielder for New York Giants. is asking dam- ages on the grounds that he was deprived of making a livelihood by organized baseball. He was banned from organized ball when he went to the Mexican League in 1946.

His case differed from that of the two Cardinals in that he had not signed a contract with the Giants when he accepted a Mexi- can League ofier, Both Lanier and Martin had signed contracts and were playing with the Card- inals when they “jumped" the club in '46. Both returned to the Cards when baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler lifted the suspensions on the- “jumpers“. Gardella has not sought reinstatement.

For fully five minutes after Sid- well had blazed a placement for the final winning point. the crowd stood in the big stadium and shouted and applauded. The cheers followed the two tired Aussies un- til they had disappeared under the marquee.

Fails In Attempt To

Break Water

By Jack Sullivan

Canadian Press Staff Writer

PICTDN, Ont., Aug. SO-(CP) _ Miss Canada IV did not make it.

The temperamental three-ton water monster with a $1 engine and a $36,600 hull acted like a spoil- ed little brat today and ruined- teznporarily at leastFany chance driver Harold Wilson of Ingersoli, Ont., had of setting a world's wat- er speed record. The boat kicked up such a fuss that baldish Harold called it off. after six futile early. morning attempts.

"Well. that's that," a dejected Wilson told newspaper men on the Prince Edward Yacht Club after he and chief mechanic Charlie Volker had set out for the sixth. and last. time.

"It's all over" the son of million- aire sportsman E. A. Wilson said. "lim going back to Muskcka (Ont.) this afternoon. but I'll be back. I'm gofng to break the record (141.7 miles an hour that has stood for l0 years)."

The Harmsworth ended with Miss Canada IV s. sad last in a field of four.

It was a re-take oi the Harms- worth story here. This morning. Wilson and his crew worked in the boat until 4 a.m. to get her in top shape, had an hour's sleep and away he went at 6:50 a.m.

Frc-m (‘here in, everything went wrong. 11111731115415 of spectators ranged along the top oi the cliffs and the general feeling seemed to he that this was the day Harold Wilson would beccirne the fastest man on water in the world.

It turned out to be one of the most disappointing days of his life.

He donned his goggles and life- jacket at 6:45 a..m.. was on the course a few minutes later and

baok at the door in less than half an hour. "The weather was okay but u'e're not." he told reporters.

This was the first time Wilson had opened up to tell newspaper men just what his speed-boat could do. Sideline observers had said Min Camda IV had exceeded the record in trials around Graven- hurst, Ont., but Wilson remained mum on the subject.

The usually tight-lipped Wilson had every reason to be down- hearted. He had been at this east- ern Ontario town of 4.000 populat- ion the last three days. had unof- ficially bounded over the one-mil: nautical course at 150 miles an hour. well beyond the mark set by the late Sir Malcolm Campbell Aug. 12, 1M9. over Lake Coniston, England, and appeared troll on his way to his life's ambition when Miss Canada trumped his ace.

Wilson and his father arranged to pay a $1 nominal sum to the British company for two 2,500- horsepower engines, and from that point on the Harmsworth Trophy was all but sitting on the mantle- pieee of Wilson's Ingersoll homo. In trials. the 33-foot boat did everything expected of her, just as in the trials here, but when the flags were towed to mark start of the Harmsworth she put her ears

Georgetown Defeats Peake’: 15-1

On Sunday the local Georgetown baseball squad playing on their home diamond, climbed one more rung on the ladder to the King's County baseball championship, when they hung a 15-1 plastering on the visiting Peakes squad. The best of five series now stands at two wins for Georgetown, they having won the opener 10-5, with Peake’: being so far unsuccessful in break- ing into the win column. Sunday's encounter witnessed some good plays pulled off by both ag- gregations. The locals were classy afield and the lone run gathered in by the losers was an unearned one, on a Georgetown players mot.) Loose fielding by Peake’s resulted in Georgetown runners filling the bases on more than one occasion. Johnny Dicks was once again the complete master of the situation. facing thirty-four batters and n1- lowin-g only seven to reach base, while he obtained eight strlkeoutl against Mir/inlays five. Handrahan relieved McAulay on the mound in the eight and ran irrto s barrage of hits which added several runs be- fore the locals were finally retired. with the third fixture set for Wed- nesdziy at Pcakrrs the Georgetonians will g0 all out to end the series.
