SPORTS 21 THE AGE, Monday, May 27, 1963 SMdrinshaiii WINNERS TO MISS BRISBANE RACING snatches win By Tony Bourltc What's Brewing and Balholmen Star are unlikely to go to Brisbane for the winter racing despite their wins at Caulfield on Saturday. over Prahran By Tom Vulenta Last quarter specialists, Sandringham, overcame a 32-points deficit to defeat VFA leader, Prahran, by three points at Toorak Park yesterday. got the verdict by a short-half-head over Our Lynne (31), with Boeing Boy (101), three lengths away third. li lengths with Latakia (51), five lengths away third. Better Talk was also runner-up to What's Brewing at Flemington.

Lightweight Billy Smith secured a rids on What's Brewing aftrr Pat Hyland told stewards his ankle was sore after a fall with Flookllght earlier In the day. What's Brewing carried 7.12 on Saturday and has bean given 8.4 in the Richmond Handicap (lm. at Caulfield next Saturday. Stewards asked Roy Hig-gine if cnuld explain the poor run of Donato. Higgins said that Donato commenced to pull in the early stages and for this he moved out off the rail to obtain a "cover" but found that Donato was a beaten horse five from home.

Hi-rglns added that he believed Donato wmld rane better if his. tongue was tied down. After Bnl'iolmen Star's win in the Southern Shakes dm), trainer Norman Crelghton said he was cont scoring taking the horse to Brisbane for minor raes during the wintir carnival. But owner Mr. Hcro'd Hall said lafr he thought Balholmen Star would be better racing in Melbourne during the winter.

"He loves heavy going and there will probably b3 more heavy tracks hore than in Brisbane," Mr. Hall said. In a tlpht photo-finish, Balhomen Star (21 before half time ended the Panthers' Ideas of victory. Port won because Its rucks were on top, its rovers ever active, and Its forward-line functioned efficiently. Waverley was let down by its forward line and its followers.

After an even first Preston downed Yarraville comfortably to secure second place on the Association ladder, It was a battle of the He-fences for two quarters, with Warwick and Taurens holding out many Bullant attacks, and Kevin McLean defending well for Preston. Lifted game McLean became a first line of attack at centre half-back, and Preston began to look a top side early in the third quarter. Dcllamarta and Hind-marsh provided Preston with strong attacking positions. This was the main difference between the two sides. After half time, the Preston team went about its work methodically and finished a comfortable winner.

DANDENONG returned to the winning list with a victory over COBURG. It was the new players, Bcthke and Flaherty who i i Golden Wealth's trots win Dennis Marhham By "Lightly raced pacer Golden Wealth followers 'when he scored a good win in the at the Showgrounds on Saturday night. Setback for Unpainted BRISBANE. Favorite Unpainted will have to tackle the S'radbroke on June 8 without a lead-up run. 'Quiet9 end to SA Open From Peter Thomson ADELAIDE.

A one-over-par total of 293 brought me an easy victory in the South Australian Open at Royal Adelaide, on Saturday. Balhomen Star (L. Burgess) on the outside, and Our (W. Shelton) battle out the finish close to the post in the Southern Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday. Balhomen Star won by short half ahead.

Australia has 25-10 League win SYDNEY. Australia's new Rugby League full-back Eric Slmms scored 16 points as Australia raced to a 25-10 win over England in the opening round of the World Cup series at Sydney -Cricket Ground on Saturday. Slmms' trusty boot gave Australia the break for a convincing win. The Australians scored only three tries to two, but Slmms had a "picnic" from a succession of penalties awarded by New Zealand referee John, Percival against the English side. The match was a mixture of brilliant football interspersed with patches of shoddy handling by both sides.

Australia were never headed after Simms goaled In the first minute of play. But the English side, for most of the match, 'looked potentially more dangerous. AUSTRALIA 25 (R. Coote. W.

Mologan did not enjoy the best of runs, but was slightly disappointing in finishing fifth. Reports before the race indicated that Mologan had not done well since winning his heat last week, and this may have accounted for his poor showing. SA pacer Scheme, who be- Pn brilliantly last week, galloped off the mark In the final and was forced to race wide all the wa Stewards reported' "that Barney Logan had shifted out several times during the event, and severely reprimanded driver I. McLeod for causing Mologan 1 to be checked In the first lap. Imported horse Donato, who finished last behind What's Brewing In the Goulburn Handicap (IVim), will also stay at home.

What's Brewing Is in the Doomben Cup (llf), but owner Mr. Peter Orant Hay said the gelding would probably have another couple of starts her.e before having a let-up, and preparing for the Caulfield Cup. A four-year-old by a of sprinters Nullabor, from Radiant Union What's Brewing has had three starts since coming from Tasmania a month ago for two wins and a second. What's Brewing did his early racing In Melburne early racing In Melbourne under the care of Caulfield trainer Basil Conaghan. Former Jumping Jockey Bon Maund now Is the private trainer for Mr.

and Mrs. Grant Hay. Maund had a lot of success with the Grant Kay Horses in Tasmania. Although What's Brewing is bred on sprinting lin-'s, Saturday's win indicated hs can run out a solid mile and a half. At his previous start, What's Brewing won over a mile and a quarter at Flem-lngton on May 11.

On Saturday, What's Brewing (72), revelled In the heavy going to beat Better Talk (51), by three Melbourne crew has narrow win PERTH.

Full-forward Bethke, a former South Melbourne player, kicked six goals. Flaherty showed that he may be the answer to Dan-denong's roving problems. COBURG was well in the picture for two quarters, and had yast year's premiers anxious.

But in the second half the Dandenong team began to function, and it ran out an easy winner. BRUNSWICK won a close, slogging game by two points in mud and rain against OAKLEIGH on Saturday. Brunswick led until the last quarter, when the Oak-leigh forward line suddenly clicked and the home side hit the front after goals by Cummings and Jordon. Brunswick fought back, with Alan Cook kicking his fifth goal, and Bonsack landing a vital major from a wide angle for the Magpies to snatch the lead again with a few minutes to go.

Williamstown had been undefeated until yesterday in its first season in the Second Division. and dropped four valuable strokes to finish in 77 to my par 73.

He ran up 42 strokes, and lost finally by nine.

Western. Australian, probationary professional Gra- nam Marsh, finished third In his first try-out as a professional, and this talented player seems sure to finish higher' before long. I was more than pleased with my own form. If was looking for a good work-out for the British Open in July, I couldn't have found a better place. The cold wind was stronger than anything I've experienced In Scotland.

One par-3 was out of reach of the driver, and against the wind it was all we could do to make 500 yards in three shots. Scores: 293 Pj W. Thomson. 71. IS.

It was a fast, open, high-jlandard game, with fortunes swaying mainly Prahran until the closing stages.

The Zebras', win was reminiscent of their game ugainst Dandenong two weeks ago, when they kicked 10 goals In the last quarter to swamp their opponents. Goals in the last quarter by Kodncy Robinson, John Hard, Barry Wills and Colin lovett gave Sandringham a -three-point' lead with only 17 minutes of the quarter gone. Ptuhran's 17th man, Rodney Orr, goaled to recapture the lead for Prahran, but with minutes of time-on left to play Robinson goaled and the Zebras had won. Presure eased Not all the credit must go to Sandringham. The team was well beaten in the third quarter, and only a lapse by 'Prahran led to the final re-' suit.

Had Prahran kept up the pressure in the last part of the third quarter, and In the last it would have won easily. Best man on the ground was Prahran's centre half-forward Maurle Bartlett His towering marks, long kicks and unselfish play were an Inspiration to his Port Melbourne had a comfortable win over Wav-trlev at Port. i The; Panthers showed little of the form which had taken it to victory over Dandenong last week.

World motor racing champion Denis Hulme, of New Zealand, was the seventh driver to qualify yesterday for the Indianapolis 500 race. Hulme took his car round the 2.5 mile elliptical track to average 164.444 mph for four laps. With the 16 other cars that qualified for the race last weekend he is in 24th position on the grid for the race, to be run on May 30. During qualifying sessions this year several drivers have broken the 170 mph mark during their four-lap runs.

Treacherous winds reduced th speeds in yesterday's qualifying runs. Last week's qualifiers all bettered 167 mph Among the other drivers to qualify yesterday were Gary Betternhausen (162.562 mph) and Bill Vukivich (163.610 mph) both sons 6f drivers killed while racing at this speedway.

Ferrari have not entered this year, apparently because of continued dissatisfaction with the course, although they have announced no reason for their absence. Graham HIU (Britain), driving a Lotus, is unofficial favorite. HIU, who won the second Grand Prix of ths 1968 world scries at Jarama, Spain, had the fastest times here In the first two of three preparatory trials, twice breaking the official lap record of 1 min. 20.5 sec. set by the late Jim Clark.

Golden WeRlttV'a brother to smart pacer Foggys Gift, was having only his fourth start, but well handled by Gordon Rothacker, he raced like a seasoned performer. In his heat last week, Golden Wealth was beaten by NSW pacer Molo-gan, and as a result Mologan, Scheme and Stormy Lodge were all preferred in the betting on Saturday. Punters and bookmakers had trouble in sorting out a favorite, but a late move saw Stormy Lodge firm from 94 to 74 Typhoon Jack began best and led from Golden Wealth and Scheme, with Molagan and Stormy Lodge racing in the middle of the field. It was a roughly run race, and Bamey Logan, Mologan and Stormy Lodge were checked in the first lap as drivers "Jockeyed" for posi maining events and left the course.

The breakdown of control and the action by Jockeys will be discussed by the South Australian Jockey Club Committee this week. This was announced yesterday by the club chairman, Mr. Andrew Tennant, who said that he would fix a date for the meeting after studying a detailed report from the stewards. Monaco MONTE CARLO, May 26. Sixteen top drivers are due to start today in the 26th Monaco Grand Prix, contested through the winding, hilly roads of this tiny principality on the Riviera.

Unlike any other three-litre formula one race, the Monaco Grand Prix Is held on a tight around-the-houses cours.e in the town, perched on a cliff-side overlooking the Mediterranean. This year the race has been shortened from 100 to 80 laps of the 1.966-mile course to reduce driver fatigue, which Is believed to have contributed to the crash last year In which Ferrari driver Lorenzo Ban-dint was burned to death. Other safety measures have also been Introduced and the famous Monaco chicane a swinging left and She was, not nominated for either Rosehill or Eagle Farm next Saturday. This means that Unpainted will go into the Strad-broke, one of the toughest seven-furlong races in Australia, at her first start since April 15. Unpainted was to have run" last Saturday in the Rose-hill Flying (7f.) for which she was a hot pre-post favorite.

She was a race morning scratching because a hoof was pricked while she was being plated. Trainer Tommy Smith will fly to Brisbane on Monday to watch Unpainted In a 5V4 f. barrier trial at Eagle Farm tomorrow week. Smith will have at least three Stradbroke runners Unpainted, Regal Rhythm and Bye Bye. He said George Moore would ride Unpainted, Mel Schumacher Regal Rhythm, and the mount on Bye Bye would be offered to Neville Volgt.

Smith said that Speed Of Jockey out for By Lindsay Mudtje Jockey Peter Wallen was suspended for a month on Saturday when stewards con cluded an inquiry into Latakia and Miss Remo falling at Moonee Valley on May 18. Stewards suspended Wallen for careless riding. Wallen rode Boring Strait who finished second to Gun-dagai In the Jacana Purse (abt. 13 Latakia, heavily backed favorite at 64, fell rounding the home turn. Miss Remo fall over him.

Apprentice Keith Lanyon, rider of Latakia, suffered a bruised shoulder, Mervyn Moore (Miss Remo) severe chest bruising. Stewards reported that Wallen permitted Bering Strait to shift in rounding the home turn when not sufficiently clear of Latakia, Latakia clipped Bering Strait's heels. The stewards also pointed out that Better Dancer, Ben, Hyperlous, Old Brum, Dimensional, and Shadowood were also severely hampered by the fallen horses. Stewards told Wallen that, although guilty of carelessness, a rider of more experience than Lanyon could have avoided falling, but still would have had to check his mount.
