(NEA) When golf pro Dick Farley, 36, waa teaching comedian Jackie Gleason to play the game several years ago he picked up a favorite Gleason Phrase and really began to live lt. "And away we go!" For a guy who no longer plays the pro golf tournament circuit Farley certainly gets around. "Enough so," he laughs, "that I should rank In the top 10 for travel among nontournament golf professionals." THE handsome bachelor has been on the road nearly all of his 16 pro years, including three "fairly successful" ones on the tournament tour (1952-54). Then he and Harry Obitz formed a traveling golf show called "The Swing's the Thing" a part comedy, part instructional show that has played publicly and privately all over the United States, the Caribbean, Latin America and South America.

For two winters Farley gave golf lessons aboard the SS France during the ship's regular cruises to Caribbean islands.

WATTS CARDIFF, Wales (AP) The little old man walked slowly across the hospital ward and held out the right hand that once made boxing history. THIS WAS Jimmy Wilde, legendary former world flyweight champion the "ghost with a sledgehammer" who probably knocked out more men than any other fighter. His record shows 77 knockouts. Wilde. 73, and virtually penniless, lives out his twilight years in a hospital at Whitchurch Village on the outskirts of Cardiff in South Wales.

Back in ihe Swim Now Farley is organizing the golf operation at the plush new King's Inn Golf Club here, play, ing and teaching under a soft, warm sun amid pine and palms, about a five-iron shot from a beautiful coral beach. NEW HAVEN, Conn. Don Schollander, winner of four gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, has begun to work out regularly for a swimming comeback. The Yale tudent collapsed with mononucleosii in a meet in Switzerland eight months after the Olympics and had to completely give up swimming. "How sweet it is," as Gleason would say.

By Partial. Pair BUT WILDE packed a fantastic punch and he was soon taking on all comers in fairground boxing. In the Welsh town of Aberdare he once knocked out 15 men in a day. On another occasion he knocked out 17 opponents, had a brief lunch, then knocked out four more. At 17 he married Elizabeth Pavies, daughter of a Welsh bure-knuckle fighter.

She hated boxing and agreed to marry Jimmy if he gave up fighting. BUT WILDE couldn't keep away from the booths. (He, tried to finish fights quickly to avoid tell-tale bruises and cuts. With a baby on the way, Elizabeth Wilde finally welcomed the extra cash Jimmy earned by his fights. He now began fighting at arenas and made his first London appearance in 1912.

The crowd laughed when the pale little miner step into the ring. BUT THEIR laugher turned to gasps when Wilde disposed of his tough opponent, Matt Wells In the first round. From his first fight (five shillings 70 cents) until 1915, Wilde fought 61 times without defeat. His recapitulation In the Ring Record book shows that Wilde lost only four fights. In three of them he was knocked out.

WHEN HIS opponent threw a punch, Wilde would sway without moving his feet. Then wlinni, the counter punch would go In, right on the jnw. Wilde won the world flyweight title with an 11th round knockout of young Zulu Kid in London In 1916. He was knocked out only thrice in his life, by Taney le In 17 rounds In 1915, by Pete Herman in 17 rounds in 1921 and Pancho Villa in seven rounds In 1923. After the latter defeat he quit the ring.

In 1959 Jimmy was elected to boxing's Wall of Fame, WILDE WAS the rae in America, too. In 1919-20 ho hn.d a victorious 13-flght tour of the United States and Canada. He returned to London and in 1921 Pete Herman of New Orleans stopped him in 17 rounds. But Wilde's 112-pound title wasn't at stake because Herman out-weighed Jimmy by 28 pounds. At first Wilde refused to leave his dressing room.

Wilde claimed that crafty managerial manipulation had allowed Herman to evade a weight stipulation. Lord Lonsdale went to Wilde's dressing room and pleaded with him to come out, stressing the presence in Royal Albert Hall of the Prince of Wales now the Duke of Windsor. WILDE RELENTED and stepped down the aisle. The prince asked Wilde if he thought he could win. The little fnan replied; "I don't think so, sir, after all this bother.

But he'll have to knock me senseless to beat me." The end came In the 17th round. Wilde, knocked halfway out of the ring, got up at seven, but was sent through the ropes again to crack his head with a thud. HE TOOK another count of nine, rose, went down again for five, but was still on his feet when referee Jack Smith tucked a squirming Wilde under his arm and carried him to his corner. In Wilde's United State tour he knocked out Alf Mansfield In Hollywood, late in 1919, and early in 1920 he stopped Mike Ertle In Milwaukee, Mickey Russell In Jersey City, Battling Murray in Camden, N.J., Bobby Dyson in Lawrence, and Bat. tling Murray again, In Philadelphia.

Two years later, a ring-rusty Wilde was lured out of seml-retlrement to put his world fly-weight title up at the Polo Grounds In New York against Pancho Villa, a tough Filipino.
