THE AGE, Monday, July 3, 1972 SPORT 19 Big Butch hurtles in as big Cup hope Puiiters Big Butch was 18th on because he came from a IRISH DERBY REWARD blast Our Leo Five-goal burst Many shine in Gross power! play By LAURIE SCHWAB State League leader George Cross produced its most powerful soccer this season to turn a 0-3 half-time deficit into a 5-3 victory over Ringwood-Wilhelmina From TONY KENNEDY Lake has trouble getting down to ride at that weight. Before he flew back to Sydney he said he would be in the saddle again next Saturday. "I'll exist on corks and feathers to make the weight," Lake said. Big Butch ran the 10 furlongs in 2 min. 2.1 sec.

which is less than a second outside Flotsam's course record. Big Butch is not a glamor-sounding name, but he's been about and was a great third to Gunsynd and Triton in the mile Doncas-ter Handicap at Randwick last Easter. Punters and bookmakers alike did not expect anything big from Big Butch in the Carnival Handicap. But the geiding turned on a breathtaking burst of speed that left his rivals virtually standing. But Butch was last of the 15 runners as the field turned out of the straight the first time round.

He was still 12th and wide out passing the two furlongs post, which is just before entering the straight. But when Des Lake put the question to the chestnut he flashed passed horse after horse to win by four lengths. Big Butch had 8.6 on Saturday and drops to 8.2 in the Cup. BRISBANE. Big Butch made a dramatic dive in betting on next Saturday's Doomben Cup when he unwound a aevasta ting last-to-flrst run to win the Carnival Handi cap at Doomben on Sat urday.

The four-year-old son of Butcher Boy, who hails from Kombla Grange (NSW), came in from 161 to equal lavormsm wun NZ mare Breathalyser at 41. Big Butch had finished a close third to Buon Giorno and Breathalyser in the Tattersall's Cup at Eagle Farm on the previous Saturday. the home turn in the Don- caster and the margins were three-quarters of a length and a head. That is how good Big Butch is and he is going to take no end of beating in the Doomben Cup. Cup candidates which finished behind him on Saturday such as Lord Rego, Amby's Love, Dales Gift, Rough 'n "Tumble, Kiss Me Cait, Upstairs and Jans Beau would not appear to have any chance of improving enough to beat him.

The gelding's win on Saturday was the most decisive that one could see By LINDSAY MUDGE Angry punters forgot the glamor of a new world record at Flemington on Saturv. day and gave Our Leo a noisy reception after his upset win in the $20,400 Grand National Hurdle (3m). Romance runs second to do with the record, but the leaders set a sizzling pace throughout. tually won 2-0 with a penalty converted by Martin Boban and a good goal by full-back Hugh Gunn.

Rivals again in Epsom From TONY KENNEDY BRISBANE. Bengalla Lad, brilliant, winner of the Doomben Ten Thousand on and Triton, a. certainty beaten out of second money, will both be trained for the AJC Epsom Handicap at the Randwick spring carnival. fx DUBLIN, July 2 Australian Bill Williamson gained consolation for his displacement Lester Piggott in the recent Epsom Derby when he rode Steel Pulse to victory in the Irish Sweeps Derby at The Curragh yesterday. Williamson, who lost his mount Roberto to Piggott, on the eve of the Epsom classic, today won by one length in the V2 mile event, from Scottish Rifle, ridden by Ron Hutchinson, Roberto, ridden today by champion Irish jockey, Johnny Roe, was 158 favorite after his Epsom triumph but could never get on terms with the leaders in a fast-run race.

Four close CLEVELAND, (Ohio), July 2. Four Australians are within striking distance of Americans Miller Barber and Larry Hinson, joint 36-hole leaders on 137 in the 150,000 Cleveland Open golf championship. David Graham and Bob Shaw reached the half-way mark in the tournament yesterday with scores of 141, and Bruce Devlin finished on par 142, one stroke ahead of Bruce Crampton. Scores: 137 Miller Barber. Larry Hinson.

138 Jreer Jones. 139 Georoe Archer, Bob Murphy, J. Snead, Mikt Spang, Lanny Wadklnos. Foreign scores: U1 Bobby Cole Dayld Graham Bob Shaw 142 Bruce Devlin 143 Bruce Crampton 145 Bob Charles (NZ). 149 John Lister (NZ).

Barred SHEFFIELD, (England), July 2. Geoff Cope, Yorkshire off-spinner, has been suspended from bowl ing in County cricket be' cause his action does not conform to the requirements or tne laws ot the game. Yorkshire County cricket club has announced that the Test and County Cricket board adiudicatinE com mittee had ruled that Cope's action is invalid. Cope, 25, has taken 19 wickets this season at an average of 19.36. With the exception of Havaspot, who finished fifth, Bengalla Lad and Triton dominated the Ten Thousand as a pointer to big spring events.

Bengalla Lad's sustained speed and his ability to take a rails run on the home turn propelled the big year old gelding to a three and a quarter lengths win over Charlton Boy and Am-berdlue. Bengalla Lad ran the seven furlongs less 68 yards in 1.18.1, which equalled the record held jointly by Pterylaw and Black Onyx. Undoubtedly the unlucky runner was the topweight Triton, who finished fourth after twice meeting interference. The checks, one early in the race and the other rounding the home turn, virtually put him out of business. It was only over the last half furlong that he got any sort of a run.

He went to the post very fast, but too late. Triton would not have beaten Bengalla Lad, but he should have finished second. I am satisfied it was the tight Doomben circuit which on Saturday. Star linkmen John Gardiner and Kevin Walker were the reason for the dramatic revival. Unsighted during the first half, when Ringwood had control, Gardiner and Walker suddenly came to life after the interval and their fine play spurred George Cross to its most ruthless performance.

But the real start was nuggety free-back Tommy Fox who was Cross's only effective defender in the first half and who helped direct traffic from midfield as his team, fought back. Big striker Tom Clarke was another key man chasing every ball and setting up the first of Rob Hay-ward's two goals only a few seconds after the interval. In the 56th minute a shot by Gardiner bounced off the cross-bar to Walker, who scored from close range. Four minutes later Gardiner goaled with a low shot from 15 yards. Claude Korlevic, the only George Cross player who had not scored this season, converted a penalty for hands in the 65th minute and in the 70th, Hayward made it five from a goalmouth scramble.

Ringwood's goals came from Peter Ollerton who converted a penalty, Mike Pye and Bobby Smith. SOUTH MELBOURNE-HELLAS, also played first-class socer when it defeated KEILOR AUSTRIA 4-0 at Footscray yesterday. With Ian Marshall, Peter Bourne and John Daperis controlling the midfield, Austria was pinned in its own half for long periods and was lucky not to lose bv a bigger margin. Marshall, one of the best and most consistent players this season, is a hot favorite for the Rothman's Medal. ALEXANDER, which previously held 11th place, moved up two rungs after its 1-1 draw with MEL BOURNE yesterday.

National team goalkeeper Jack Rellly saved a penalty by Jovan Mllinov in the 77th minute of HAKOAH'S match against FOOTSCRAY J.U.S.T. yesterday. Hoever, he was powerless to stop the 31st minute goal by Steve Rujevic that gave Footscray a 1-0 victory. POLONIA flew striker Henry Slwka down from Sydney to play against JUVENTUS on Saturday. His presence may have inspired Polonia which won 1-0 after losing six matches in a row.

Nastase. Jockey knew By SHELLEY HANCOX Rickshaw's Star set his own star on a higher plane when he led all the way for a convincing win in the 2nd two-year-old mile at Flemington on Saturday. And in doing so he confirmed the opinions of his trainer, Les Cole, and jockey, Harry White, who rode him into second place at his two previous starts. "Harry said we'd never see the best of him until he ran over a mile," Cole commented after Saturday's race. But White was not in the saddle at Flemington.

He sat in the stand and watched 20-year-old Geoff Brown, now apprenticed to Cole, ride an extremely confident race. Quadrella a winner Lawyer claims chess wizard medically unfit Fischer seeks By TONY BOURKE The T.A.B. has backed another winner with its new form of betting, the quadrella, which operated for the first time at Flemington on Saturday. Our Leo, who shaped very poorly at Moonee Valley the previous Saturday, showed marked improvement to easily beat the 94 favorite, Solum. Coogee Bay, holder of the world record for a two-mile hurdle, was a long neck away third.

Our Leo's comeback was even more remarkable when it is considered that he ran the journey in 5:21 9-10ths and slashed several seconds off the world record. Scores of racegoers dropped Our Leo frcuji calculations after his dismal effort in the Moonee Valley Hurdle won by Right Son. However, stewards reported at the conclusion of Saturday's programme that trainer George McCormick had explained that Our Leo had suffered from shin sorness the day after his Valley race. McCormick added that Our Leo had received constant attention since the Valley. He asked the stewards on Saturday to make a veterinary examination of Our Leo, and advised them of pre-race medication given to the gelding.

Our Leo was declared fit to race, but a swab was taken from him after his win. Mr. H. N. Stanton, who races Our Leo in partnership with his wife, confirmed that McCormick had had to battle to get Our Leo to the post.

"Our Leo suffered from shin soreness after the Valley, and George got him right again with combined round-the-clock poulticing and sea-water treatment at the beach at Mordialloc," he added. The National Hurdle was a real thriller for racegoers. There is no doubt that the exceptionally good track conditions had a lot Interest in four races for only 50c. Mr. Rutter said there had been requests for pre-sell-ing of quadrella on Fridays.

"We did not pre-sell because of the greater chance of scratchings, which would cancel out a quadrella ticket, but we will reconsider the position," he said. It was thought that the quadrella might effect other forms of T.A.B. betting, particularly the daily double, but all Saturday's figures were above average. The total turnover on Saturday's Flemington meeting was $1,492,148 compared with $1,210,043 on the corresponding meeting last year. Battleground's win provided the lowest dividend that would have been paid after the first three legs.

It would have paid up to five figure amounts for several other runners, including $15,000 for the Darling Beware, Eyemouth bracket. GOAL, KICKtRS. Butcher. Caul. Gram.

Ol PAB AD I A NS postponement LONDON, July 2. Wimbledon's teenage love match between American ascending tennis star Chris Evert and fellow countryman Jimmy Connors has been firmly faulted by their mums. Chris is pictured above winning her way into the quarter-finals with a 6-3, 6-2 win over fellow American Julie Anthony. Connors also reached the quarter-finals yesterday, beating Frenchman Francis Jauffret 6-3, 6-3, 8-6. British national newspapers had a field day yesterday with the reported "romance" between 17-year-old Miss Evert and Connors, the 19-year-old newcomer to Wimbledon who has shown the form of a potential champion (backed by the vociferous barracking of his enthusiastic mother).

But yesterday morning the two young players separately left the Bond Street hotel where they are staying with their mothers, and both mums emphatically denied marriage plans for their children. Mrs. Colette Evert said: "They are just good friends. There is no romance as such, although they have seen each other socially through functions arranged in connection with Wimbledon. "There is certainly no chance of marriage as several people seem to think as they only met last week.

"All Chris is concerned with is tennis and her game this afternoon." Her opponent was Julie Anthony.l Connors also denied any marriage plans. "I do not see that marriage could even enter the thing. We went out to dinner once or twice, but I am over here to play tennis not to get married. "I shall probably ask Chris out again, but on a friendly basis." His mother, Mrs. Gloria Connors added: "They are just friends." Chris and Jimmv first met at the pre-Wimbledon garden party at the Hurlingham' Club last week.

Chris said: "There is no truth about any romance between us. I went out to dinner with him. It was good and I enjoy his company." AAP. From Page 20 One to go, then NEW YORK, July 2. The New York Times said today U.S.

champion Bobby Fischer has asked for a two-day postponement for his chess match with Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union, according to Fischer's lawyer. i to Triton's troubles. He is a huge strider and requires plenty of room in which to gallop. Sixty five year-old trainer Fred Best, tears in his eyes, said Bengalla Lad's victory was his greatest thrill because the winner was ridden by his daughter's son, 21 year-old Alan Gollogly. "I came from Townsville 28 years ago and I have won the trainers' premiership here 16 times, but this has been my biggest day," Best said.

"Alan is a model grandson and a great trier and he needed this break." Gollogly's father, Alan was a jockey and served his apprenticeship in Sydney with the late Mick Poison, Mrs. Gollogly was also in tears after the race. Bengalla Lad is owned by Goondiwindi grazier Mr. R. C.

He has had 23 starts for nine wins and has won just over $59,000. first match today, the rules are that Spassky walks into the hall right on time, sets Fischers' clock going, and after the clock has been going for an hour, Fischer is judged to have lost the match. Fischer was still "missing" when the last direct flights which could have taken him to Iceland left here without him.

Reporters were also watching other flights which might take him to Reykjavik by a more circuitous route, but there were almost none of those left at least from New York as the hours before the start of the first of the best of 24 match championship ticked away. Fischer is being criticised in both his own country and the USSR. Tass commentator Allan Starodub has accused him of "a disgusting spirit of gain," and said the American had made unprecedented demands about conditions of the match and his share of the purse. The Tass report said Fischer's failure to arrive was a sign that he was "trying to keep things strained," and added, "It is his right, of course, to arrive in Reykjavik just in time for the first game. The New York Times, in an editorial, said Fischer was creating a bad image for himself, and chaos for the chess world.

The Times said Fischer's erratic delaying tactics prompted two theories that he is waging psychological warfare against the champion, or that he has Bertrand wins ANZIO, (Italy), July 2. John Bertrand of Australia won the fifth race of the world Finn class yachting championship here yesterday. Bertrand was fifth in Friday's heat, and is now fourth overall behind Joerg I Bruder, of Brazil. A total of $112,707 was. invested on the quadrella, and there were 525 winning units for a dividend of 182.45 on a 50c investment.

The turnover was $20,000 more than the T.A.B. expected. Quadrella punters had to pick the winners of four selected races. The winners, with their Starting prices, were Rick-' shaw's Star (21), Our Leo (51), Wartune (41) and Battleground (21). On an all-up basis for a 50c outlay, a punter would have got back $135.

The quadrella was so successful that the T.A.B. will operate one on Wednesday's meeting at Moonee Valley. The T.A.B. general manager; Mr. Jack Rutter said: "We are not expecting the same demand on Wednesday, but it is obvious the public want the new service." He said one of the main reasons for the success of the quadrella was that the small punter could have an is)! "become unduly money-conscious after a lifetime of relative poverty." Your move.

Training begins it Oid Scotch ground "Francoise is getting better ail the time on grass, although she is still basically a hard court player," Miss Goolagong said. Chris Even's quarter final opponent is Patti Hogan. Miss Goolagong said she was "relieved" after her close battle with Miss Moro-zova, but confessed she was glad of the hard match, adding: "I needed a bit of a running around and I got a bit more match practice." The Australian girl said that although she took some time to settle down against the powerful 23-year-old Moscow player, she was pleased with her game. "I started to play more consistently in the second set (which she won 6-0). I think we both played well in the last set, said Miss Goolagong, who added that she was not worried by her celebrity status at Wimbledon.

"It Is not affecting my game. 1 am looking forward to playing all the time." Three Australian girls had won their way into the last 16, but only Miss Goolagong survived yesterday. Tasmanlan Helen Gourlay and Melbourne's Kerry Harris lost. Pierre Barthes, who fell to Diblcy's power game, became the third seed in the men's singles to be beaten.

Monash Blues and University Blues caused upsets in amateur football on Saturday with wins over Old Paradians and St. Bernard's respectively. Inaccurate goal shooting in the first half prevented Monash establishing a big lead at half-time. In the third term Monash rattled on seven goals to increase its two-point lead to 32 points. Parade opened the last quarter with two quick goals but Monash steadied and held on to win by 20 points.

University Blues held off a last-minute challenge by St. Bernard's to win by six points. PRCMICRSHIP W. for Aoit PC 'Pis V1428: 0S9 166.2:40 OMND. O' 11366: P2fl 1 jS.0'40 COB RG O.
