Foreigners Mop Up In Berkeley Tennis BERKELEY (UP) Foreign entrants continued their mastery over the domestic players Tuesday in the second round of the sixty-seventh Pacific Coast tennis championships at the Berkeley Tennis club. Sven Davidson of tec- ond seeded foreigner, defeated Larry Axtell, San Francisco, 6-2, 10-8, and third seeded Neale Fraser of Australia downed Don Laurie of Berkeley, 6-2, 6-2. In other matches, fourth seeded Ashley Cooper of Australia defeated Morris Sockoloz, San Francisco, 6-3 6-2- eighth seeded Luis Ayala of'Chile defeated Bill Friestat, Berkeley, 6-0, 6-4: Michael Davies of England defeated Don Gale, San Jose, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2; and Paul Wiley of Canada downed Bob Stevenson Jose Cortinas of Cuba, conqueror of the 22-mile Catalina channel in Southern California; Bert Capps, the first man to swim the full length of Lake Tahoe, and Paul Herron, former National distance champion from Stanford university. A $500 first prize went to the pretty San Francisco State college coed for her triumph.

The other half of the $1000 put up by a sponsoring San Francisco night dub went to the next three Herron, Cortinas and Capps. Miss Thompson, who was pulled from the water at 5:06 p. m. after she had been in the frigid Pacific water for nine hours and 36 minutes, was still in fine condition and could have gone on, according to Taft. "Most people felt that'the de- menti beat her," Taft said, "but they didn't.

She was itlll In perfect shape. We quit because we didn't know what the was made of, but I know DOW It must be bronze or steel. We'll take her on any swim, anywhere." Taft said the decision to pull up short was Miss Thompson's. A stiff outgoing tide was blamed. Myra's Decision "I gave her all the facts and then left the decision up to her," Taft said.

"She wasn't dejected over quitting, though she was disappointed in not winning the trophy." "Darn It," she said, "I don't get the trophy jnst stopping here." Miss Thompson said she would go after the huge award next year again. Her first words when she was pulled aboard the accompanying boat were: "are they going to do this again next year? If so, I want to sign up right now." Miss Thompson, was the only surviving competitor of eight starters who plunged into the Pacific from the Rocky Lighthouse islands off San Francisco, at 7:30 a. m. yesterday. At 3:50 p.

m. PDT the stocky, 145-pound blonde was reported 11 miles off the coast and going strong. Miss' Thompson took over the battle with the elements alone at 2:16 p. m. PDT, after the previous leader, Herron, 35, was seized by double cramps and hauled out of the water.

At that- time, Herron was 11 miles from his goal and swimming strongly at 47 strokes a minutes. Herron, who had previously been painfully stung by a passing jellyfish, was reported in agony when was pulled aboard his escort boat. When her last competitor droppec out, Miss Thompson was reportec about .12 miles offshore--approximately a mile behind Herron's farthest advance. Other unsuccessful starters in eluded Kim- Kimmel, 46-year-old Ross, housewife; Bonapart Haumea of Porterville. Woody Greenwood, San Francisco and Don Sherwood, San Francisc television entertainer.

Sherwood, clad in a frogman sui and swim fins which made him ineligible for the prize, called i quits after only 45 seconds in the frigid water.

SPORTS A Calgary Won't Forget John Henry Johnson "John Henry Johnson is the only back I ever taw," said Bob Robinett, "who carried out every one of the event, in the de.

cathlon while running to a touchdown." Robinett, who coached at Calgary in Canada before taking over as head football coach at qarl- jmont High school, hailed John son as a fabulous runner. "I saw him go all the way on iickoff return once he broadjumped, highjwnped, sprinted, ran lidewayi, backward and forward he would have pole vaulted--If he had a pole Contrary to reports quoting Charlie Trippi, Johnson was well liked in Canada, Robinett said. "No he didn't get jun out of Canada. He wai well liked up In Calgary. The great est.

thing that could happen to Calgary would bs If J. H. JOHNSON Henryj went back up there." Trippi, now a coach with the Chicago Cardinals, claimed John son was run out of Canada because he played dirty football. He predicted Johnson would be run out of the National Football league, too for the same reason. Johnson broke Trippi's nose last year and qui Hobinett is the second witness, who saw Johnson play In Calgary who has stamped Trippi's testimony as bunk.

"With the exception of a few players, pro players dont go around trying to rack each other up," Robinett laid. "They realize the other guy is out there making a living, too." OLYMPIC GAMES CREWMAN Conn Findlay, who came up with a unique gimmick for shippin; shells to.Syracuse while at Stanford, will compete in the Olympi Games crew this year. Findlay, who lives in Belmont and is now training in Washing ton, didn't take up crew until college in. Southern California ar later rowed at the University of California. While coaching freshman crew at Stanford, FindlRy devised new way to ship the shells for competition in the east by putting them in long tubes for mailing.

Charlie Jrimm resigned and spunky Fred Haney became manager.

Johnny, 50, and Fred, teammates at Indianapolis in 1928. "Fred led the- league in stolen bases that year," Riddle recalls. "He was one of the fastest men in' baseball. We won the pennant, and the Little World Series, too." Rialdle is the first to admit that his chief claim to fame during parts of seven seasons in the major leagues as a catcher was his younger brother, Elmer, a pitcher. Elmer was one of the National league's 'best pitchers, winning 19 in 1941 and 21 in 1943, with Cincinnati.

Although the Riddles were together with the Radlegs in 1941 and 1945 and with the Pirates in 1948, they seldom got a chance to put on a brother act. Johnny spent most of his time in the pullpen. Besides Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Boston in the a i a league, Johnny pat in some time with Chicago and Washington in the American league. He picked up managerial experience as skipper of Birmingham in the Southern Association in 1942. Riddle was a coach with the St.

Louis Cardinals from. 1952 until last year, when the new regime took, over there. His las coaching stop, before getting a call from the Braves, was a i i a Milwaukee'.

Champs With Base Hits By FRED DOWN (United Prew BROOKLYN, N. Y. (IP) --Robin Roberts, striving for his seventh straight 20- win season, pitched the Philadelphia Phillies to.m 7-3 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers today in a game that may have sounded the death knell of the world champion's pennant hopes. A tiny crowd of 7847 saw the Phillies avenge Tuesday night's no-hitter at the hands of Sal Maglie by knocking the Dodgers a full game behind the idle Milwaukee Braves in the tense National league pennant struggle.

The Dodgers now go into the final three games of the season trailing the. Braves by a game in both the loss and win columns. Roberts the Dodgers' of a pennant six years ago when he beat them on the final day, of the 1950 pennant race and he may have done it again today with a gritty five-hit performance that earned him his nineteenth victory. The powerful right-hander yielded two home runs to Duke Snider in addition ip an unearned run in the second inning, but ha struck out 10 batters and gave up only one hit over the last six frames. Twenty-six game winner Don Newcombe was matched against Roberts in this "must" game but did not have his stuff and was further hurt by a two-base error by left fielder Endyy Araoros-- fielding hero of Brooklyn's world series victory last falL That helped the Phillies score two unearned runs in the second'in- ning when they took a 3-1 lead.
