1,1 II I I Field umpire Ray Sleeth waiting to give evidence at last night's tribunal hearing. Judy Tegart must hit top form i From Australian Associated Press LONDON, July 4. Judy Tegart will need to strike top form today if Australia is to get two women into the semi-finals of the women's singles at Wimbledon. Sleeth told the tribunal firmly and clearly what Ditterich had said to him during the last quarter of the match In the first Incident, Sleeth said, Ditterich told him: "I think you're weak." In the second, three minutes later, Ditterich said: "I still say you're After a 10-mlnute deliberation the three-man panel decided Ditterich was guilty of both charges. Saints called Players' advocate Mr.

Charlie Gaudion called two St. Kilda players. Bob Mur ray ana uarry ureen, as witnesses for Ditterich. St. Kilda president Mr.

Graham Hugglns and secretary Mr. Ian Drake sat in at the hearing. rriDunai cnairman Mr. Alt. Baud asked umpire Sleeth: "Was Ditterich looking at you when he spoke the first time Sleeth: The first time, yes.

Mr. Gaudion asked: "Could he have been referring to someone else Sleeth: He was looking straight at me. Gaudion then referred to the last quarter being very torrid and vigorous. Sleeth rerilied that League football was a very vigorous game. Told him Sleeth said that after the first incident he told Ditterich he was reporting him for misconduct and using abusive language.

Keiemng tne second Incident, Sleeth said: "I heard the remark and went back and again told Ditterich- I was reporting him." Mr. Gaudion: "You weren't facing Ditterich at the time Sleeth: "Notf the second time, no." sieetn tnen aaaea tnat ne knew it was Ditterich's voice. Mr. Gaudion then asked Sleeth whether the remarks could have been directed to Susvended St. Kilda ruckman Carl Ditterich leaves Harrison House last night with club secretary, Mr.

Breen said that when acting captain Ian Stewart went off with concussion coach Allan Jeans had told Ditterich to inspire the side any way he could. Recalled Tribunal chairman Mr.

Baud then recalled umpire Sleeth, and Sleeth said he was about 25 to 30 yards away at the time of the second incident In summing up, Mr. Gaudion said Ditterich, acting as captain, considered it unfair when Lazarus "unloaded" Murray. On the second incident he said Ditterich, as acting captain, had received instructions to inspire his side. This may have involved some sort of language to players and opponents. He said: "We all know the verbal barrage that comes from some other captains." Mr.

Gaudion also said Ditterich's character had changed this year, and his acceptance of authority had been exemplary. He added that possibly this had been because of the army training he had undergone recently. Mr. Gaudion- said that if Ditterich had been irrespon-ible in the past, it was obvious by his appearance last night that he had changed. Trotting trainer suspended Broken Hill trainer -driver D.

Pimm and the pacer Braganza' were disqualified for 12 months yesterday following a positive swab finding from the horse at Mildura on June 10. Stewards ordered the swab after Braganza had won the Belar Free-for-all. W. Pimm, part-owner of the pacer with his son, was exonerated. TCB steward Ir.

George Rouse, who was in charge of the meeting, said the swab contained procaine and thiamine HC1, which could assist the speed, stamina or courage of the pacer. Mr. Rouse said the pacer had been given a heavy injection shortly before the race and the contents included the vitamins found in the swab. In evidence D. Pimm said Braganza had -been given a Bl vitamin injection in an endeavor to counteract a bad abscess on the pacer's neck.

-JACK BATES. 40 yards needed now on someone else, and added: "On a day like Saturday you could hear quite a way." Used words "I suggest you were 30 yards away, and it may not have been Ditterich," he said. Ditterich said in his evidence: "The ball came from the centre of the ground towards the Fitzroy full-forward. Our full back, Murray, sent it back to the half-back line, and at the same time Lazarus (Fitzroy) dropped Murray. I used words to Lazarus." Mr.

Baud: "Where were you playing Ditterich: "I was In the ruck." Jl Ditterich said Lazarus had contacted Murray after he had kicked the ball. Then Ditterich touched on the second incident "The ball was bounced in the centre, and I was resting on a half-forward flank. I was captain, and trying to inspire the side to the best on my ability." Ditterich said he tried to urge verbally, the team on and used swear words. However, he denied using swear words detailed in the report by umpire Sleeth. 10 yards away Murray, in evidence, said he heard Ditterich say: "How about that you great galah after he had slipped in in front of Lazarus during the play.

Murray said Ditterich was speaking to Lazarus because "When a player is beaten you try to make him feel worse. He added: "They were the only words I heard from Ditterich. I was about 10 yards away from him." Murray added that when the umpire took Ditterich's number he was surprised, because Ditterich had not used swear words. Breen, commenting on the second incident, said he was at full forward, and was looking at Ditterich as the umpire was about to bounce the ball in the centre. Full-back Roy West rang from Stawell -last night to say his sore ankle had almost healed, and will train tomorrow.

Geelong has signed Bill Stevens, 17, a utility player from South Warmambool. COLLINGWOOD COLLINGWOOD centre half-forward Peter McKenna will make a bid to play against Geelong next Saturday by training hard tomorrow night. McKenna, who has a thigh Injury, ran eight laps last night and will have another loosenlng-up run tonight. Last night he said his only worry was a tightness of the thigh, but if this clears away by tomorrow he should be able to satisfy the selectors. Follower Terry Waters is still receiving treatment for his bruised left thigh, and it will have to improve considerably before ne can be classed as fit to play.

The Magpies also will have to find a fresh wingman this week. Peter Patterson's rib has not been broken, but he was still too sore to train last night, and has been ruled out for this week. Half-back Lee A damson. who has missed the past two games Because oi sirainea shoulder ligaments. fell heavily during match play last night.

Tobermory's dividend in the pre-acceptance double taken before final acceptances will be $1467 for 60c. In the final acceptances double his dividend will be $191 if he wins. But Tobermory has become the "mystery horse" for the Cup. With the Cup only four1 days off there has been no definite announcement from the Jack Denham stable on the favorite's rider. It has been generally assumed that Athol Mulley will be his jockey, but there is no certainty on this.

Vic. bowlers score wins SYDNEY. Title holder Harold Hill (City) and John Slater (Grandvlew) and two visiting Victorian teams have reached 'the final 16 In the North Manly tournament of champion pairs. Hill and Slater had to score on the last four ends of their third round match from Alan Orr and Kevin Smith (Riverstone) to win 19-13. Successful interstate pairs were Stan Lane and Mick Reynolds (Footscray), '26-17, from City team Cal Matha-Les Shean.

Abe Corrall (Footscray) and Charlie Jackson (Carl ton) defeated previous North Manly winners Bill Goddard (Warringah) and Jack Murphy (Valley view) 21-18.

Neil said. It didn't need a heavy knock on the head on Saturday to convince me that protective headgear is needed in Australian football. A quick look through the injury lists each Monday morning will most certainly reveal at: least one case of concussion from Saturday's play. Also alarming is the incidence of cheekbone fractures and other facial injuries. South Melbourne alone came out of last weeks round with two broken noses and a case of severe facial bruising.

I can see nov good argument against the use of protective headgear to prevent these injuries. The most irresponsible argument I have heard Is that ft Is manly to leave your head exposed to the knee and the elbow. If this reasoning is valid then only weaklings will fasten their safety belts when they get Into a car. Brief statistic To most football followers the words "Jack Smith, fractured cheekbone," is just a statistic in small type. But consider the story be-'-hind the brief reference in a newspaper.

Stewart's As told to Maurice Carr Yet. he was back in the game again in time to play well in the finals, while carrying the knowledge that he could receive a similar injury the very next time he stepped on a field. In fact, at this moment, he has his face encased in corrective apparatus ior broken nose. Only 12 games Only 12 games had been Played since nis previous in jury. Tk it unreasonable, or un manly, to want this type of Hazard removed irom ioot- hiill 9 Clearly, the' Incidence of face and head injuries is keeping pace with the increasing vigor and speed of football.

No doubt some club In the near future will make a season's calculation of how much these Injuries cost in games lost by individual olayers, and in money paid on medical expenses and a compensation for wages. rn the basis of this evl dence the club will immedi-AtRlv order headgear for all. I am convinced that the sanity of providing adequate head nrotection will' eventu ally prevail. I Just feel sorry ior tnose wno nave to oe injured in the meantime. GOUIiMs Cats apply pressure at training By Percy Beanie Four Geelong players who normally train in Melbourne on Tuesday nights had to obey special orders from coach Peter Pianto to play in a special high-pressure practice match at Geelong last night.

enamniiiuii She comes up against the 18-year-old bright hope of American women's tennis, Rosemary Casals, In a quarter-final match. Both girls are ranked third In their respective countries. Miss Tegart has been playing extremely well in this tournament. having beaten Rhodesian Pat Walk-den and South Africa's Annette Van Zyl, the seventh seed, on the way up. But the net-rushing Miss Casals, had had a tournament to remember too.

She caused the greatest upset to date In the women's singles with her easy win over three-time Wimbledon queen, Maria Bueno, of Brazil. Easier match The Australian number one, Lesley Turner, should have an easier match against young Californian Kathy Harter. Miss Harter Is a fast-developing player, but probably lacks the calm temperament needed to upset Miss Turner in such an important tournament. Another interesting quarter-final should be that between the tltleholder, Billie-Jean King, of America, and the British number two. Virginia Wade.

Miss Wade has never won a major tournament, but she has done extremely well at Wimbledon and could give the American some trouble. The other quarter-final is Thomson in UK lead with a 66 LONDON, July 4. Peter Thomson holed a 21-foot putt on the 18th green to take the lead In the first round of the Bowmaker tournament at Sunningdale, Berkshire, yesterday. The 37-year-old Australian professional was back In form with a two-under-par 66. He has failed to win a major tournament in Britain so far this season, but Is now a firm favorite to take first prize of stg350 At the end of the day's play, Thomson held a one-stroke advantage over South African Denis Hutchinson and former British amateur International Peter Green.

South African G. Hennlng finished with a 68 to lie fourth, while following close with 70 were former British Open champion Bobby Locke and New Zealand's J. Lister. Australian Bruce Devlin had a 72. with fellow coun tryman Stan Peach on 73, Norman Von Nida 74, and Barry Coxon on 78.

AAP- Ian Last year Verdun Howell suffered a compound fracture of the right Cheekbone; His top and bottom teeth had to be wired together and he was able to take only liquids for a period of five weeks. He assured me that his first appearance at home with this frightening apparatus attached to his face was a severe shock to his four young children. During the ordeal of recovery he lost more than a stone and he jnissed a considerable amount of time at work; which set him back financially. to stay in Perth PERTH. State and Claremont ruck-man John Mcintosh has decided to remain in WA and play with Claremont for several seasons.

The announcement of his Intentions, released yesterday by Claremont secretary Neil Martin, will come as a severe blow to the St. Kilda Football Club. Mcintosh signed a Form 4 with St. Kilda last year, and K'ida was very confident the big ruckman would join it next season. Mcintosh has revealed his great desire to play with St Kilda, but it Is evident that big cash Inducements from Claremont or its supporters have made it profitable for him to stay with the WA club.

Talented Mcintosh, 23, is one of the most talented ruckmen In Australia. At last year's Hobart Carnival he gained all-Australian selection, won the Simpson Medal for WA's best and fairest in the series, and finished third behind Perth's Barry Cable and Carlton's John Goold for the Tassie Medal.

No harm But except for a few bruises players came through the game without narm. Two Interesting moves were Geoff Ainsworth pitted against Bill Goggin as a rover, and Wayne Closter opposed to Marshall as a centreman. It Is possible that Closter, who starred In the centre last week, will remain there on Saturday with Marshall filling a half-back flank. Centre half-back Peter Walker, like Marshall, will be back In the side, while another certain inclusion is follower John Newman, who has served a four-match term of suspension.

Victorian Football League clubs had drained1 the country dry of young players during the past week, country officials claimed yesterday. Country officials say the VFL ciubs went on wild recruiting campaigns for a few days in anticipation of the League's decision on Monday night to call a halt to country recruiting for the next three months. VFL clubs were warned last Wednesday that coun-trv rpemitintr would prob ably be stopped at Monday's sDeclal meeting.
