25 The Sydney Morning Herald, Hon, June 11, 1979 25 CITY FIGHT BACK TO DRAW i rrm i Windies brush rivals aside LONDON, Sunday. The West Indies cricketers made a swaggering start yesterday to their defence of the Prudential World Cup, crushing India by nine wickets with about 10 overs to spare at Edgbaston. Langby stays with Aparangi By BERT LILLYE Jockey Kevin Langby will stick with Tasmanian champion Aparangi in his bid to win the $21,000 Gosford Cup, 2000m, for the third time on Wednesday. in the 59th minute but up until then Canberra had made all of the running but couldn't find the net A gamble by Brisbane City coach Nereo Saftich paid dividends when city beat South Melbourne 1-0 at Perry Park, Brisbane. Saftich replaced winger Kevin Low with stirker Barry Kelso soon after the start of the second '1 X- av performances in this competition.

But yesterday they faded sharply after an encouraging start Tom Smith, seeking his half and the substitute slammed home the winner in the last minute.

Peter Fleming won an all-US men's final by beating Roscoe Tanner 3-6 6-3 7-5 in 87 minutes, with one service break deciding the outcome of each set in a fierce serve-and-volley battle.

Sydney City ahead a minute before half time, but Jim Campbell equalised nine minutes after the break after a solo run. An own goal by Foot-scray defender Rade Jo-vici four minutes from time sent his team tumbling to a 3-2 defeat by Apia at Wentworth Park. Footscray had twice fought back from being a goal down, but then, after the own goal, Footscray had no answer. Apia took an early laead after 11 minutes through Elwyn Roberts before Footscray equalised in the 54th minute. Jim Dempsey again put Apia into the lead after 63 minutes, but Footscray fought to equalise through Jim Kondarios.

A goal just three minutes from the end by speedy striker Tony Brennan gave Brisbane Lions a 2-1 win against Canberra City at the Bruce Stadium, Canberra. Lions scored first through Graham Wilson Evonne back LONDON, Sunday. Evonne Cawlev cave notice of her Wimbledon intentions when she turned on a sparkling performance to retain the women's singles title in the Kentish Times grass court tennis tournament at Beckenham yesterday.

Vivo, I tk jx Langby was in two minds after riding Our Ritual in an outstanding barrier trial win at Rand-wick last Friday. Our Ritual was untroubled to beat the very fit Sun Duke by a length and a half, running the 1,200 metre in 1 min 15 is. Bill Carrier has gained the ride on Our Ritual, a last-start winner at Warwick Farm. Langby had ridden Aparangi trackwork at Randwick since the four-year-old arrived from Tasmania. He has been impressed by the visitor's fitness and consistent race record.

Aparangi, who was bred in New Zealand, has won at his last four starts including a race over 2.100 metres at Elwick on April 28, carrying 60kg. He has won 15 races in all, including Tasmania's Guineas and Derby double. Aparangi's dam. Star Treck, is a sister to Upstairs, the former top-class Melbourne racehorse, who won 11 races, including the Alister Clark Stakes at Moonee Valley. Langby won the Gosford Cup on Fleet Zephyr (1973) and Denise's Joy (1977) and Camer has also won the race twice.

This year's Gosford Cup has attracted a top-class field. Alvaro Boy, following John Page's disqualification has been transferred to trainer Cecil Russell. He will be ridden in the Cup by Robert Thompson. Underproof (Gavan Duffy) has been penalised 1kg to 51kg for his solid win at Rosehill last Saturday. Les Boyd, left, the Western Suburbs second-rower, and Neville Glover, the Parramatta winger, square off during an incident at Lidcombe Oval yesterday.

A linesman takes a close-up look at proceedings. HAS YOU WATCH PATIENTfe IS FINE HUNDRED and their 189 off 56.5 overs was treated with disdain by New Zealand, who made 1-190 off 47.4 overs. New Zealand openers Glenn Turner (83) and John Wright were quickly in command before Wright (34) was caught by Tennekoon off Ajit De Silva. Turner and Geoff Howarth (63) then saw New Zealand home with an unbeaten second wicket stand of 136, of which 131 were scored off 22.4 overs after tea. At Headingley, Pakistan overwhelmed Canada by eight wickets but the Pakistanis experienced some anxiety in the early-stages.

A spectacular over-the-head basket by Peter Vitols, the St Kilda Pumas guard, gave his team a 94-93 win over Canberra Cannons in the final of the inaugural National Invitation basketball season at Albert Park yesterday.

The Pumas, who had thrown away a 12-point load, trailed by one point when Vitols made a baseline drive and hooked a shot back over his head to win the game with only three seconds left on the clock. It was a desperation shot and the ball eluded the outstretched hands of two Canberra players and buried itself in the basket for a winning two points. The game was one of the best ever seen at Al bert Park and must have done a lot for Australian basketball, particularly as it had national television coverage. Brian Kerle, the St Kilda coach, said "Australian basketballers did a lot for Australian basketball by winning the N1BL championship. I am proud of the fact that St Kilda is the only all Australian team in the competition.

"The other teams can have their imports. We have proved that there is plenty of talent in our own country. Cal Stamp, the Can berra coach, and a for mer Atlantic Coast Conference player in the US, said: "1 thought we had the game when lan Ellis put us ahead 93-92 with IS seconds to go. But you can never tell in finals. Games are never won un'il the buzzer goes." The game was even most of the way although St Kilda had notched up a 53-47 lead by the last two minutes of the first halt.

Sydney City fought back to earn a 2 all draw with Heidelberg United in the Philips Soccer League at Olympic Park, Melbourne. Lanky striker Terry Smith scored the equaliser from a pass by John Stevenson 10 minutes from the end. Heidelberg dominated the second half but had to rely on brilliant goalkeeper Yakka Banov-ic to save a penalty by Stevenson in the 73rd minute. A remarkable transformation came over Heidelberg when Jamie Paton came on for Gary Cole just after half time. Paton, bought three weeks ago from State league club Slavia, had scored against Brisbane Lions the previous week.

The little striker was always first to the ball and fought hard against the tall Sydney City cen-trebacks, Steve O'Connor and Mark Trenter.

Opening batsman Gordon Cireenidge canned the Indian attack for an unbeaten 106 and his aggression meant India's total of 190 had little chance of surviving. The West Indies overtook it in 51.3 overs, finishing with 1-194. India's innings was soon rocked by the fiercesome West Indies pace attack as Andy Roberts removed Sunil Gavaskar (8) in his second over and Michael Holding shot out Dilip Vengsarkar (7) and An-shnman Gaekwad (11).

The Indians, at 3-29. had no real hope of building a worthwhile total, although a doughty effort by (iundappa Vis-wanath (75) gave it a modicum of respectability.

Coastal caught Spectacular Bid in mid-straight and went on to win the Belmont Stakes by 3i lengths from Golden Act yesterday, spoiling Spectacular Bid's attempt to win the United States triple crown for three-year-olds. Spectacular Bid, a steel-grey running machine when he romped in to win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, came up short when he needed the sia-mina in the third of the Classics.

Willi 200 metres to go in the race, Coastal ridden by Panamanian Ruben Hernandez, zoomed past Spectacular Bid while making his move on the rail and steadily lengthened the margin to the finish. As jockey Ronnie Franklin whipped Spectacular Bid furiously, Sandy Hawley brought Golden Act along on the outside to beat Spectacular Bid for second by a neck. It was another 9 lengths back to Screen King in fourth place. Eight started.

CHEST. Tony Prendergast, his trainer, said this here last night. "I don't believe that he will need another run before the Brisbane Cup," Prendergast said. Mr Ay Bee shot to 4-1 second favourite in the 3200-metre Cup at Eagle Farm next Monday after his solid third to Bclmura Lad in the O'Shea Stakes at Eagle Farm last Saturday. He is regarded as the only threat, if any, to champion colt.

Double Century (6-4 on favourite) however, Belmura Lad is not expected to be among the acceptors for the Cup tomorrow. Mr Ay Bee, bred and reared in the same district as Melbourne Cup winner, Baghdad Note, in New Zealand's South Island, raced like a true stayer in the O'Shea. Prendergast said that jockey Michael Mein had been forced to make his run sooner than he wished because of the tear-away tactics of Ima Shadow. The chestnut looked bright and relaxed at exercise yesterday after his hard run. Ron McDonell, who trains Double Century, was impressed by the New Zealander's form.

"The O'Shea was run at a fast pace, which made it a true staying test." McDonell said yesterday. Our Cavalier and Ber-nalla, failures in the O'Shea, will start in the Cup. Tom Smith will make a decision on a start in the Churchill for Kilmal- 27 hurt in Soccer riot BONN, Saturday. Twenty-seven people were injured, some seriously, when 20,000 fans stormed the pitch after Hamburg SV won the West German Soccer championship in Munich. Although Hamburg went down 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the final match, they had already made sure of winning the first division title for the fourth time in the club's 92-year history.

Police said about one-third of the 60,000 strong crowd stormed the Volks-park Stadium field at the end of the game. Ambulances and army helicopters ferried the lock Boy after the gelding gallops tomorrow. Smith has decided against a Cup run for Play The Game who will remain in Sydney. Smith hopes that Spear, a race-morning withdrawal from last Saturday's QTC Sires' Produce Stakes, will be able to run in the $40,000 Marlboro Stakes, 1600m, at Eagle Farm next Monday. Spear suffered a stone bruise on the off fore foot, which necessitated his scratching from the Sires.

SYDNEY NETS THE VITAL GOAL fan Cooke, the Australian hockey fullback, netted from a penalty corner in the 60th minute to give Sydney a surprise 1-0 win against Brisbane in the annual match at Primrose Park yesterday. Tempers flared and one player from each side received temporary suspensions, after some controversial decisions by the Sydney umpire.

Sydney halfback Greg Kay was rested by the umpire after holding back Brisbane star Greg Browning and Brisbane's David King was similarly penalised tor preventing Sydney centre-forward Jeff Patcrson from running on to a shot at goal. Brisbane had the better of field play throughout the game but the strong Sydney defence held them at bay. Sydney fullbacks, Cooke and Greg Corben, played well and halted several dangerous Brisbane attacking moves. The win provided Sydney with ideal match practice for the State championship in Grafton next weekend. In the curtain-raiser yesterday, Sydney Colts whitewashed a lacklustre Brisbane Colts side 9-0.

Four of the goals came from penalty flicks. Best for Sydney Colts were Tony Cowan, the left-inner, Warren Ber-minsham, the centre-haft. SVDNEV 1 (I Cooke) BRISBANE 0.

CRYPTIC CROSSWORD No 9392 AND SOLUTION TO 9391 BLIND GOLFER'S 93s TOO GOOD NEW YORK, Sunday. Pat Browne, 46, a New Orleans lawyer, retained his title in the 34th US National Blind Golfers' Association championship in Pittsburgh yesterday. Browne shot a 93 on the 18-hole course for a 36-hole total of 186. Charles Mayo, of California, was second with 203. Clarence McFarland, of Ohio, was third on 208.

"I don't think about the score. I just try to play one shot at a time," said Browne, who lost his sight in a car accident 13 years ago. Each of the totally blind competitors had to shoot three 18-hole scores under 106 to qualify.

(2-5) Melbourne's weather will determine whether Seymour trainer W. H. Walters makes another hit-and-run visit to Sydney next weekend. Wallers has nominated New Zealand stayer My War Waggon for the Winter Stakes, at Randwick next Monday. Last year, the Melbourne trainer scored with Boldness on a similar visit to Rosehill.

My War Waggon also has been nominated for the Birthday Handicap. 2.500m, at Flemington next Monday. "If the rain continues in Melbourne I will bring My War Waggon to Randwick next Friday. He must have a dry track NZ WIN FOR QLD CHRISTCHURCH, Sunday. A superb second-half performance gave Queensland the tturd Kucbv win apainst New Zealand provincial side this year when thev beat Canterbury 19-6 a Lancaster Park here yesterday.

Canterbury led 6-0 at halftime, and looked capable of winning with plenty of ball and solid work by their forwards. But in the Second half, the game underwent a dramatic transformation. Suddenly Queensland dominated the line-outs, and this strength spread to other areas. Paul McLean got Queensland started with a penalty goal and contributed the next six points as well when he was on hand to outflank the Canterbury defence after a left and right movement. Cornelsen scored Queensland's second try, taking a clear path to the line after some sloppy tackling by Canterbury.

Queensland ended the game on a high note when left winger, Brendan Moon got around his marker, Shane Gibbons, and broke his sprint to the posts just long enough to cut inside Richard Wilson. The crowd of 59.073 made Spectacular Bid a 5-1 on favourite to become the third in a row. Coastal was 11-2 and Gold Act 10-1. Spectacular Bid had won his previous 12 races, and 14 of 16 career starts. His loss as a blow to the hopes of owner Harry Meyerhoff, trainer Buddy Delp and jockey Franklin.

"We had no excuses today," Franklin said. He just got a little tired in the final 200 metres." Coastal, a Kenrucky- bred son of Majestic Prince and Alluvial, did not run in the Derby or Preakness and was obviously a fresh horse yesterday. The colt had won all three of his races as a three-year-old. The last was the most impressive, by 13-lengths in the 800m Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park on May 27. That win convinced owner Perry and trainer Whiteley to put up the 18,000 supplemental fee to get the colt into the Belmont.

Coastal was not among the original nominees. Newman second in Le Mans LE MANS, France, Sun day. Brothers Don and Bi Whiltington, of the US, driving with West German Klaus Ludwig in a Porsche-935 twin-turbo coupe won the Le Mans 24-hour road race today. Film star Paul Newman, 54, finished a heart-stopping second, and West German Rolf Stommelen, co-driving with Newman and Dick Barbour of San Diego, California, crawled the last 20 minutes with a dying engine.
