THE AGE, Monday 26 July 1982 -25 Coburg holds second spot Rancher back today for early hit -out riiN edited by MARK HARDING 1 Germans exploit Turnbull loss From IAN ANDERSON LOS ANGELES, 25 July. Australia, minus Wendy Turnbull as a singles player, was eliminated from the Federation- Cup yesterday by a determined West German team, Which now meets the powerful United States in today's final. Turnbull, suffering from a persistent elbow injury, was rested from singles play in favor of Evonne Cawley. Cawley played well but could not match the hard serving and fierce returns of Bettina Bunge. She lost in straight sets 6-3, 7-6.

It was the fourth meeting between the two and Bunge's first victory. In the second singles Dianne Fromholtz started well against 19-year-old Claudia Kohde, winning the first set 6-4. But Kohde gradually gained confidence, became more aggressive and won the final two sets 6-3, 6-2. Both matches were marred by bad line calls and confusion on the part of the umpires, who seemed unsure whether they should overrule the linesmen. And both teams suffered.

Fromholtz made little attempt to go for a ball that was called a fault and then changed to a service ace. It was a critical point in the third set when breaking Kohde's serve would have brought the Australian to 3-3. The Germans claimed a volley by Cawley was out at match point to Bunge in the 10th game of the second set. West Germany made a clean sweep of the rubber when Bunge and Eva Pfaff defeated Turnbull and Sue Leo in the doubles 6-4, 0-6, 6-4. In the other semi-final, the American team of Chris Evert-Lloyd and Martina Navratilova defeated Czechoslovakia 3-0.

The glamor match of the tournament between former Czech Martina Navratilova, playing her first Federation Cup as an American citizen, and Hana Mandlikova, was a mixture of brilliance and errors caused by the tension. It was billed as a grudge match that Navratilova desperately wanted to win. She won 6-4, 0-6, 6-1. Australia advanced to the semifinal by convincingly defeating the USSR 3-0 on Friday night. Turn-bull played her only singles match of the tournament.

She was picked partly to test her arm, but also because Cawlev was unwell, and defeated Liudmila Markarova 6-2, 6-2. Fromholtz won the other singles against Julia Salnikova 6-2, 6-2. Details: OUARTIR-FINALS UNITED STATES d. BRAZIL J-O: M. Navratilova rl.

She was to. have resumed a fortnight ago but -had to be scratched after develop Ing an abcess in her hoof. McKinlay said almost half of the filly's near front hoof had to 7. be cut away.

Pleach's win gave Treloar some consolatfofij-' for a suspension he incurred in the previous race. Treloar was found guilty careless riding on Prince Dalai'' in the Kamhrook Handicdpi Stewards found he allowed the-gelding, who was very wide en the home turn, to shift in near the 200 metres, checking Power's -Hope, Gleaming Waters and Colours. His holiday will extend until midnight. 14 August Brent Thomson resumed riding on Saturday after a holiday of a different nature. This season's Florsheim jockey premiership winner spent a week in Fiji.

The sunny relaxation certainly-did him no harm as he took his tally of wins for the season to 592 with Affetto in the Star Affair Welter. Thomson was to have had another week off but when he was offered rides for Saturday decided to accept. "I would only have regretted it if I hadn't," he said. The tearaway pace of Popular Aim reduced the Forbury Park Hep to a battle for second place on Saturday. Backed into 18 favorite and driven by Vin Knight, Popular Aim started from 30 metres behind and charged home 40 metres clear of Copper Way (T.

Demm-ler) In a track record mile rate of 2:2.5. Bruce Postle's picture shows the champion pacer about to enter the home straight as the rest of the field reaches the turn. Popular Aim paid 60 cents for the win, while the qulnella with Copper Way was worth $1.10. Rancher makes his public reappearance in a trial at Flem-ington today, but don't expect the gigantic winning margin and the scintillating time which were so common last spring. The unbeaten champion will be asked "to do a bit of work" over 800 metres in the seventh trial at 11.30 am but logically will not be fully tested so early in his preparation.

Trainer Charlie Waymouth said last night he had been cieiigu.ed with tne way Rancher haa returned from the spell in his Bal-narring paddock. "He looks magnificent," he said. "He's got a stallion's chest but he's not too fat. I often think the top horses never get overfat." The rising three-year-old is most likely 10 resume his thrilling career in the $40,000 Ascot Vaie Stakes (1200 metres) at Flemington on 11 September, although today's trial will help decide plans. Waymouth said he has already put quite a bit of pacework into the chestnut.

"But he desperately needs a trial at this stage because he loafs in his normal work." The colt won eight races as a two-year-old and with three-year-old Rose Of Kingston is a top contender for the VRC's "Australia Champion Racehorse" award, which will be announced tomorrow. The pre-race blood testing machine struck again at Caulfield on Saturday when Quiet Snort registered an Irregularity. The eight-year-old gelding was a late scratching from the Kam-brook Handicap and further blood samples and urine samples were taken. Stewards questioned the veteran's trainer Ray McMahon and adjourned the Inquiry to a date to be fixed. And on the drug topic.

Somoy's trainer Kevin Thomson was fined $100 on Saturday at the conclusion of the inquiry into a swab taken from the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Somoy's swab was negative but was found to have contained traces of a sulpha drug. Thomson told stewards that treatment of Somoy in the week before the GN included the feeding of a product containing the drug sulpha-phenazole. Thomson was found guilty of failing to lodge complete details of all treatment given to Somoy. 21 Lady Ice probably set a record at Caulfield on Saturday for the shortest retirement.

Soon after the four-year-old mare won the Glen Waverley Handicap, her trainer Bob Hoy-sted said she would most likely be retired to stud. He explained that she was to have finished her career at Moonee Valley the week before but when she was unluckily defeated her connections decided to give her one last try to go out on a winning note. Some 30 seconds later part-owner Ken Dean hinted that the mare would continue now that she had hit top form. "I think you'll see her back in a few he said. Dean said that Lady Ice, by Rock Roi from a Latin Lover ho I foburg consolidated second place on the VFA First division ladder with a comfortable win over Prahran in a drab game at Toorak Park yesterday.

The Lions, faster and more creative, kicked 18.12 to 8.14 in a match largely controlled by the two defences. Oily seven goals were scored in the first half despite perfect conditions. Yesterday's game highlighted the decline in the standard of Association football this year when two of the top bracket clubs failed to develop the skills expected of them. Coburg took control of the game in the first quarter when it kicked four goals to nil as each team struggled to pass tha other's half-back line. The trend continued in the second quarter and by half-time Prahran had scored onlv 1.7 to the Lions' 6.5.

Prahran tried hard to lift its game in the third quarter, but found Coburg's all-round talent a handful. -Coburg, which won running away, can hardly use the game as a gauge for the finals as the opposition was well below what it can expect from Preston and fpjt Melbourne. Centre half-back Alan Eade and rover Gary Halbert held their good form from the previous week and full-back David Adams did well to hold Prahran spearhead Kim Smith to three goals. Centreman John Fitzgerald and flanker Phil Cleary contributed much to Coburg's flow-on passages of play and Gary Milroy was best of the ruckmen. First Division W.

Port pair Fred Cook and Graeme Anderson grossed 19. Port's 96-point win against reasonable opposition shows the Boroughs will again be a threat in the finals.

PRESTON, which is vieing with Port and Coburg for the flag, brushed aside FRANKSTON by 78 points at home in a good workout for next week's visit to Wer-ribee. WERRIBEE maintained its finals hopes with a 20-point win at WILLIAMSTOWN to move within a win of fourth-placed GEELONG WEST, which lost at SANDRINGHAM by 46 points. Geelong West's loss, while not altogether unexpected, puts pressure on the Roosters in their remaining games against Williams-town at home, Preston (away), Port (home) and Camberwell (away). Werribee has home games against Preston and Camberwell and visits Port and Frankston, which is as hard a draw. Winning one more game than Geelong West will be harder.

By RAY HUXLEY It is when faced with a challenge that Demmler is at his best.

Two months ago he was battling to beat Thomas for the national drivers' premiership. Since then he has successfully shaken Thomas off and is now set to break his record. On Saturday night he won the first three races with members of his own team Keystone Derby (64), Skyring Boy (54) and Kentuckian (54), all favorites and in the fifth race landed 49 favorite Spyglass, prepared by Victoria's leading woman trainer, Rae Craig. Needless to say he was quite a favorite with punters and they stuck to him in the 2nd Graduation, last race of the night, backing Copper Leopard into 52 equal favorite. But a fifth winner was not to be.

Whatever chance Copper Leopard had was lost in the first 100 metres when he ran into a traffic jam. Demmler's four winners also took him metropolitan tally to 43, breaking Brian Gath's city record of 40 '2. set last year. It would be a brave man who would bet against him getting two winners this week to set a national record. Bruce McGinley won his first city race on Uncle Joe in tha Newminster Handicap, but his smile was not quite as wide as that of his father Tom.

Tom McGinley, former outstanding jumping jockey, former steward, and sow trainer, was indeed a proud man. Young McGinley, 17, has ridden 37 winners in the country but has had only a few city rides. His performance on Uncle Joe belied his inexperience. Marathon berth to runner-up Wallace Ted Demmler is an amazing character. At the start of each of the past four seasons he has promised to "slow no more dashing from meeting to meeting trying to break records.

The truth is that Demmler is never more miserable than when he is "slowing Sure, he will forever claim he has set his goals, broken enough' records, won enough premierships, but those who know him well, particularly his wife Denise, know better. Although a non-smoker, non-drinker and non-punter, Demmler does have a weakness. He hates to lose. Winning may not be everything, but the Demmler philosophy is that it certainly beats running second. Which is the main reason why he is now poised to break Queenslander Kevin Thomas's Australian record of 174 winners in a season.

After four winners at Moonee Valley on Saturday night he needs only two more to set a new mark. What makes Demmler's tally this season 'so remarkable is that it was only a few seasons ago that he became the first Victorian to drive 100 winners in a season. If he continues to "slow up" he may well score a double century next season. Hinault grip tightens on Tour No 4 PARIS, 25 July. Belgian Daniel Willems may have snatched the 20th and penultimate stage of the Tour de France yesterday, but Frenchman Bernard Hinault seems assured of being the overall winner for the fourth time in five years when the cycling marathon ends today.

Willems put on a late sprint to score his second stage win by fighting off a last-minute challenge from Ireland's Sean Kelly as a group of six riders raced for the line in the small industrial town of Aulnay Sous Bois, on the outskirts of Paris. His unofficial time for the 159 kilometres stage from Sens was four hours, 22 minutes and 21 seconds. Hinault, winner of the 48 kilo-metrts time trial on Friday, came in with a large group of riders some 42 seconds behind Willems and remains the overall leader, more than six minutes ahead of his nearest rival. The tour ends today with the .186.8 kilometres stage to the traditional grandstand finish on the Champs Ely-sees in Paris. Melbourne's Phil Anderson, the early leader of the Tour, was 43 seconds behind Willems yesterday and is fifth overall, 65 seconds ahead of his nearest challenger but more than 12 minutes behind Hinault.

Hinault yesterday was following his declared policy of doing just enough to keep the overall lead. He has won three time trials and been content to steadily increase his overall lead. 19TH STAGE (4B km time trial at Salnt-Priett): B. Hinault (Fr.) 1 nr. 4 min.

Spring Vance. Sun Dance Suru. 10 Major Lord, 20 Bay Gait, NS. BRISBANE. Japanese runner Fumiaki Abe produced a big finish to win the Sanyo Australian marathon championship over Brisbane's Commonwealth Games course yesterday.

Abe, 23, broke away from Victorian Robbie Wallace with one kilometre to go and went on to take the title in 2 hr. 15 min. 56.2 sec. Wallace finished 25 metres behind Abe in 2:16.2 to win automatic selection in the Australian Commonwealth Games team. Adelaide draughtsman Gren-ville Wood, 27, was third in 2:16.22 after being dropped by Wallace and Abe with two of the 42.195 kilometres remaining.

Abe, a public relations officer from Niigata, improved on his previous best by three minutes. This was only his fifth marathon. the 1977 Australian champion, returned home to Melbourne last Tuesday after four years working in the United States. As the first Australian to finish in the race that was also the Games selection trial, Wallace will almost certainly be joined by Robert de Castella in the Australian team to be announced morrow. De Castella, 25, the world's second fastest marathon runner, was exempted from yesterday's trial.

Lawrie Whitty, who chose to miss the race, is Wood's main rival for the third spot. Victorian Barbara McKerrow comfortably won the women's championship in her best time of 2:50.28.4. Details: MEN'S OPEN: P. Abe (Jap.) 2:15 56.2. 1: R.

Sally Pierson, one of the world's best walkers, was disqualified during the Australian championships at Wynnum on Saturday. Pierson was in second place behind eventual winner Sue Cook in the women's 5000 metres when she was disqualified for "lifting" at the 3800-metre mark. The 19-year-old holds the world record for the road event and was bitterly disappointed with the judges decision. "When you go that fast you have got to be close to disqualification it's a very fine line," she said.

Cook, 24, clocked the good time of 22 min. 27.9 sec. in difficult wet and windy conditions. She easily defeated NSW champion Anne Ryan, 20, (24.27) with veteran South Australian Lillian Harpur third Victorian Willi Sawall showed his world class with an easy win in the men's 20-kilometre event. Sawall, 40, of Ballarat coasted to victory in 89:2 to easily defeat NSW champion Keith Knox, 31, with Victorian Duncan Knox, 23, third.
