8 THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN FRIDAY JULY 25 1958 Empire Games Cricket Power's splendid victory in excellent marathon A day of misfortune for South African competitors New Zealand at last shows real resolution Remarkable innings by Petrie BY DENYS ROWBOTHAM MONTAGUE Playle obstinate resistance, however, combined wivh MacGibbon's strong firm-footed driving, wristy shots off his' legs and firm forces had ensured that the perky, sensible Sparling should begin his innings-to steady but mainly harmlessly straight slow bowling. Against this, the chief essential was not to be bv flight into any palpable error, of 1 D. Poircr (Australia), already in the lead. geitin applause at the 16-mile stage of the 36-mile marathon which he won at Cardiff yesterday Empire Games BLACK GIVES SCOTLAND HER FIRST SWIMMING GOLD MEDAL J. Konrads relentless over 1,650 yards By a Special Correspondent Sunshine, a wicket accommodatingly easy in its pace, and three resolute.

assured innings by SutclifJe. Mac- Gibbon, and Sparling, helped the New Zealanders to do much better in tbe fourth Test match at Old.Trafford yesterday. For in snite of some cood fast bowling by Trueman end Statham. and some steady spin bowling by Lock and Illingworth. they were not only 220 (their highest score of the series) at the close, but still had four wickets in hand.

This stiffeninE of nerve and sinew was the more creditable in that the New Zealanders lost two wickets for 22. and then Sutciiffe and Reid at 62 in the last nve minutes oeiore luncn. or 40 minutes, indeed, it seemed that the New Zealand mieht follow its fnmilmr pattern.

and was loff before, and fifteen minutes later Harford played baoc to an inswinger from Statham far too fast for him. and alsD was leg before wicket. Dexter disappoints Two things, nowever, saved the New Zealanders hereabouts. The first was the wicket's easy puce, which allowed a Sutciiffe in belter form to force and hammer anything short off the back foot. The second was May's bringing on of Dexter in place of Statham after 50, minutes in order to maintain maximum pace at one end until lunch.

Dexter bowled woefully short for half an hour, and though Lock, who replaced him, was much steadier, he neither turned nor flighted the ball sufficiently to set any obvious problems. So Reid and Sutciiffe were able to reserve their utmost of concentration for first Trueman and then Statham. and five minutes before lunch they still were together. Then Statham somehow summoned a good-length out swinger just too fast for Sutcliffe's forward shot, and Lock drew Reid forward to a ball which did not turn and had him caught off the inside edge at short leg. So after a much firmer start the New Zealanders were back in the doldrums again.

MacGibbon and Playle retrieved the position afterwards by driving boldly and powerfully every npn-turning ball Lock over-pitched and by defending so coolly against Statham and then Trueman that, after 70 minutes, there was a slow bowler at each end. In the meantime Illingworth's steadiness for half an hour had so grooved Plavle into defence that when at last he bowled a rank long hop, Playle mistimed a wild nook completely, missed, and was leg before wicket. So the New Zealanders were 117 for five and, in spite of a valuable stand of 55. certainly were not out pf the wood. BY LARRY W.

D. Power, ol Australia, completed a glorious double in the British Empire and Commonwealth Games at Cardiff Arms Park yesterday when he won one of the closest important marathons since the London Olympic Games of 1948 on top of his six miles victory on Saturday. He won by only just over half the length of the final straight from J. H. Barnard, of South Africa, with P.

A. Wilkinson, of England, third another quarter of a mile behind, Kirkup, of England, fourth, Dickson, of fifth, and Kemball. of England, sixth. Power and Barnard dominated the race almost from the start. Wild and Barnard of South Africa went to the front soon after leaving the stadium and were leading the bunch at three miles, five miles in 27min.

5sec and seven miles in 37min. but at seven miles ten others, including Power and the Englishmen, were within ten yards of them. In the next mile Kemball. Wilkinson, and Power made the first attempt to break away and took a lead of 120 yards from the main bunch. But at nine miles and again at ten miles, in 55min.

17sec they were altogether again, with Davies. of wales temporarily at the front A breakaway At eleven miles six men had made a small breakaway Kemball. Barnard, Wilkinson. Dickson. Power! and MacDougall, of Scotland.

A mile farther on Power made his first individual effort and took a lead of twelve yards. He led by fifty yards at thirteen miles and at fourteen miles was eighty yards ahead of Barnard and Dickson, who were themselves only a little in front of Wilkinson. Kirkup, and Sum of Kenya. Kirkun and Sum were going strongly at this period and at fifteen miles, in lhr. 20min.

28sec. Power was only fifty yards ahead of Barnard with Kirkuo. Dickson. Sum. and Wilkinson in the next bunch Sum had moved up to second bv sixteen miles, in lhr.

25min. 55sec. and was only seventeen seconds behind Power. At nineteen miles, in Ih. 42min.

39sec. Power led by 21 "seconds from Barnard and Sum and the field covered exactly three miles as the last man had only just completed the first sixteen miles. Power still looked to be in extremely good order, but Barnard now began to spurt and cut down his lead. At 20 miles Barnard was closing the gap rapidly and at 21 miles was onlv 25 yards down with no one else ih sight. Entering Cardiff, however.

Power counter-attacked and was 150 yards ahead again at 24 -miles. Yet again, however, Barnard came at him in the Castle grounds and at the Castle itself Power led by only ten yards, with about a mile to go. and still Barnard was gaining. The lead was onlv four yards as they passed the entry to Cardiff Arms Park, but then Power made a last supreme effort, gained all the wav along the back of the stands, and led into the stadium bv some fifty yards, going remarkably well. Barnard also was fairlv strong LANCASHIRE ALLOW INITIATIVE TO ESCAPE THEM By Pat Ward-Thomas FULL DETAILS OF YESTERDAYS RESULTS accidentally spoiled also any chance for his right-hand neighbour, Olko, of Nigeria, by falling across his path.

Gardner was strangely unimpressive, possibly because he was trying to save himself for the finals of -this event and tne 220 yards flat later in the afternoon. Swart, the other South African, led throughout the other semi-final. In the final Swart overtook the explosive Gardner at the seventh flight and was first over the last obstacle. Gardner made a supreme effort to use his speed on the flat, though it was by now his fourth race of the afternoon, but he looked like failing narrowly until Swart stumbled and fell a yard or two from the tape. He managed to cross the line, but the others passed him in a flash and all were at first announced to have finished before him.

However, after consulting the photograph the judges decided that only Gardner had beaten him, in fourteen seconds, which would have equalled the Empire and the Commonwealth Games record but for a following wind of 3.5 metres per second. So Gardner already has won two gold medals in addition to one silver one. The English weight-putters were in splendid form and Rowe, in particular, went from strength to strength. His first putt beat the Games record with 55ft. His second was a modest 54ft.

but his third another Games record of 55ft. his fourth, 55ft. and his fifth, an enormous new Empire and Commonwealth. British National. English native, and Games record of 57ft.

8in Lucking always held second place after a first putt of 53rt. GJiri. and increased h's mark to 54ft. liin. in the fifth round.

Morgan, tne tnird Enelishman. took hfth place with 51ft OJin. Rowe can now face any European weight-putter with confidence. Wilmshurst did himself proud by rising to the occasion as usual in the hop. step, and jump and reached the final at the first attempt and in it cleared more than but this was not enough to hold Tomhnson.

of Australia, and Smyth, of Canada, who beat the Games record. Norris. of New Zealand, and Rico, of Australia. Everett fails The surprise of the mile heats was the failure of Everett, of Scotland, in the first heat. It was run much too slowly for him and in the ugly rush in the last lap he could not cope w.iln Blagrove as well as Elliott and Pine.

Boyd's recent form foretold his sad failure in an extremely fast heat behind Lincoln, wno looked nicely relaxed "and confident. Beresford, and Scott. Gordon was a little unlucky to lose narrowly to Hewson, Halberg, and Tnomas. The biggest surprise of the day, however, came in the pole vault where Kruger, of South Africa, the Empire and Commonwealth record-holder, failed to clear 13ft. and so did not qualify.

Young and Paul just led into the straight in the women's 220 yards final, but the strength of the two Australians beat them down and Matthews-Willard once more nosed Cuthbert out of first place. The time of 23.6sec. was only one-fifth second slower than her own recent time which is awaiting ratification as a world's and Empire and Commonwealth record. It was, however, a British National, British all-comers' and Empire Games record. In the height of the excitement over the marathon, Pazera, of Australia, suddenly threw the women's javelin more than twenty feet farther than ever before in her life, and beat bv many feet the world's record, set up by Emil Zatopek's wife.

She was throwing most erratically before, but this time had a perfect throw which took full advantage of a strong following wind. Pairs New Zealand heat Australia, 22-17; Rhodesia heal Emtand (K II. Shapland and F. Horn. yklp), 31-7: Hooikone heat Scotland (J.

physically, but his spirit must have been broken by that last spurt and ne could only plod home in second place some sixty yards behind the Australian. The 220 yards final was a wonderful race, but was marred by an accident to Jeffreys, of South Africa, who had been the fastest man in the preliminary rounds. He was going nicely on the bend, but suddenly pulled up and stopped. He appeared to have pulled a muscle. Meanwhile Gardner, in the inside lane, had gone off at his usual tremendous pace and led Robinson, of the Bahamas, drawn on the outside, into the straight.

Gardner still led with ten yards to 'go, but both Robinson and Day were gaining sharply. Gardner, indeed, was run out and collapsed on his face just after crossing tne line inches behind Robinson. Dav was less than a yard behind them, but if only all had gone well with him Jeffreys might well have been the winner. Milkha Singh gave India her first victory on track or field with a splendid run in the most difficult outside lane in the 440 yards. He broke the British National.

British All-comers', Enpire and Commonwealth, and Games' records with 46.6sec. and had, in fact, all the stamina and strength one had feared he mignt not have Wrighton. in the fifth lane, went off at a great speed whereas M. C. Spence.

Tobacco, and Salisbury were much slower in the three inside lanes. Wrighton led into the straight with Spence only fifth. Spence came through the field as in all his other races, but he, likej your correspondent, had underestimated Milkha Singh and. whereas he had the measure of the others, never looked like catching the Indian. Salisbury and Tobacco had a sharp struggle with the failing1 Wrighton before beating him and only just failed to hold Spence.

Salisbury was only fourth, but his 47.1sec was a great personal best. Strong wind The semi-finals had been slow by comparison with Tuesday's first-round heats, but this is explained by the fact that there was a wind of nearly 25 m.p.'n. azainst the runners on the more exposed-back straight. Sampson seemed to feel this particularly in the first semi-final and Spence alio took it very easy in the first half of race. Spence came to the front comfortably in the final straight, but Sampson had no devil and just failed to catch Tobacco.

Wrighton ran a well-judged race in this heat, much better than in the finai, and was second. In the other and easier semi-final. Salisbury, as usual, reserved his fire and it looked as thougn he were allowing Milka Singh to take first place. How mistaken we were. Maclsaac.

of Scotland, did extremely well to qualify for the final. The high hurdles were a tragedy for South Africa and. indeed, no one could fail to have sympathy for her two representatives in the misfortunes that befell them. Tlie semi-finals were very badly drawn, for all four first-round heat winners were in the first race. Gardner, the holder, was well away once more, but Malan.

of South Africa, was going hand over fist and was. indeed, in front when he tied himself up in the eighth hurdle f-INAL. 1, A. Rowe (EngEand). 571 f.

Punishing drives A searing oft drive off Illingworth by MacGibbon, who then hammered Lock violently through the covers off the back foot, suggested for the first and only time the hint of command. Less happily at five o'clock. May called for the new ball. Statham at once had MacGibbon caught at the wicket as he tried to force him, and with the tail beginning and the score still only 165. it seemed that New Zealand's end was near.

Instead of its coming, there followed 85 minutes' remarkable cricket and for New Zealand 54 hardly expected, valuable runs without loss. Trueman and Statham. in short, could do everything except get Petrie out. Petrie aimed to turn balls to leg and achieved edged shots down the gully. He aimed to chop, and achieved fours down the leg side.

He played and missed, probed and felt, nudged and stunned, and, it seemed, could, not achlevfc a fatal snick howsoever he might try. Illingworth and Lock were lust as powerless to uproot him. He assumed all Sparling's confidence with half his technique, and reduced England's bowlers slowly to such frustration that against alt cricketing logic he and Spading at. the close still were together. This was the degree to which the New Zealanders have stiffened their purpose.

Australia and England each has powerful teams capable of breaking the world's record ot 4min. 57sec, but the margin between the two will probably be only fifths of a second. Price had the choice of using J. Grinham. who last night broke a world's record and won the Empire back-stroke title, on this first leg and letting D.

Rowing DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE By a Special Correspondent The oldest aquatic event in the world, the historic Doggett's Coat and Badge race, took place yesterday and was won by R. G. Crouch, of East Greenwich, who covered the five-mile course from London Bridge to Chelsea in 32min. 5sec. It was the 244th contest of the series, the first having been rowed in 1715.

There was only a very slack tide to help the scullers and this was evident from the fact that yesterday's time by Crouch was 4min. 45sec. slower than last year's time. Four scullers took part in the race, C. R.

E. Ennis, from Swanscombe, having dropped out at the last moment. They were got awav to an excellent start by H. T. Phelps, barge-master to the Fishermen's Company, and kj.

nuusc was tne nrsi. 10 gain a lead. He, however, nearly collided with a buttress off Cannon Street railway bridge and had to give up the lead to R. G. Crouch.

Then in the later stages the race resolved itself into a contest between T. A. Darsey and Crouch, for B. A. Evans and House had not the pace ot tne leaders, crouch took the lead just before Lambeth Bridge, was never headed afterwards, and eventuallv reached the winning post near Cadognii Pier at Chelsea over twenty lengths ahead of Darsey Empire Games GOOD WOOD P.

22.6sec. Black, who plans to become a primary gave five rivals an elementary but elegant lesson in butterfly swimming. He moved smoothly mto a clear lead with 80 yards to so. and finished more powerfully than did G. Symonds (England) and B.

Wilkinson (Australia). Black's time was only 2 6sec. outside the world's record standard set by the international federation. He may never reach this target as he intends to concentrate on the 440 yards free-style. J.

Konrads, of Australia, surely the most remarkable male swimmer of all time, demonstrated his great talents when he won his heat of the 1,650 yards free-style in 17min. 55.1sec. and finished 90 yards, or one minute, ahead M. McLachlan, of South Africa. This was lmin.

6.3sec. inside the 1954 Games record of G. Johnston, of South Africa. This is the first time 18min. for the distance has been broken outside Austrialia and Konrads himself is the only man who has achieved this great feat.

Yet his swim last night was little more than training and. lapping each 110 yards at between lmin. ll.asec. and lmin. 12 8sec he ambled relentlessly to victory By half-way he was already 55 yards ahead of MacLachlan and two laps ahead of K.

Liron. of Jersev. On -Wednesday he won the 440 yards In Empire Games SIMPSON BEATEN IN FINE RACE By Larry Montague Sheil, the holder, beat Simpson, the British champion, in the all-English final of the cycling 4,000 metres pursuit race at Maindy stadium by 3-10sec. in 5min. 10.2sec.

after a thrilling struggle Simpson went oft the faster, and was Isec. up after three-quarters of a iao, and increased his lead to 2Ssee. with five laps to go. Then Sheil began slowly to reduce the gap, and with two laps and then one to ao, there was nothing in it. Remembering his fine last laps in earlier races, most people probably expected Simpson to win now.

but Sheil. much the more experienced rider and absolutely determined to retain his title, found some crucial reserve of strength, was a yard or two up with half a lap to go, and made a splendid spurt off the last bend. In the third place race Gambrill led Dalton (New Zealand) for four laps but then weakened, and in the last lap was outclassed. Browne (Australia) won the ten-miles' scratch race by keeping low until midway through the last lap, and then slipping the whole field with Johnston (New Zealand) who was a close second. They had nothing to do with the numerous useless small breaks and showy sprints in which almost every other rider indulged at one time or another.

They reserved themselves for the real business, and it paid them. The time at five miles was lOmin. 52sec, and for the whole distance 21mi.i. 40.2sec well within the Games record of 21min 59 5sec. by Cox (Australia) at Vancouver four years ago.

Lawn Tennis SECOND BLOW FOR HOLDERS By David Gray The last nails were hammered in the coffin of Middlesex, the men's title holders, in the inter-county lawn tennis championships at Eastbourne yesterday. Yorkshire beat t.iem bv $ix rubbers to tnree. and for the first time in tieir nistory. last year's champions will be relegated from the too grouo.

Tnis is the second blow tne county's pride has suffered in the last two years. Last year, the Middlesex women, the winners in 1956, were sent down into group two for the first time. Sussex, who lost to Essex, will join Middlesex in group two. and the days play also ended Lancashire's last faint hopes of taking the title. After being 3-3 at tea they lost their last three rubbers against Surrey.

Among the women Warwickshire marched closer to their second successive title with a 7-2 victory over Gloucestershire Surrey kept 6n their heels bv beating Yorkshire, and for the second year succession Kent beat Lancashire 8-1.
