18 THE PROVINCE, Saturday, AprU 5, 19G9 HERE'S MORE ON Marr shines GOLF: in fog ,1 CLANCY I expressing confidence that his game has jelled in time for next week's Masters, shot 68 to move into a six-way tie at 137, only three shots from the lead. Six more men were a stroke back at 138, including PGA champion Julius Boros; George Archer, winner here two years ago and tied for second last spring; and Sam Snead, eight times a Greensboro winner. Marr played the back nine of the Sedgefield Country Club course first and opened with a 15-foot birdie on the 10th hole, his firsts added another from 15 feet where they were joined by 69 shooter Rod Funseth. A score of 143, one over par, qualified 76 players for the last two rounds today and Sunday. Among the qualifiers were Toronto golfers George Knud-son and AT Balding.

Knudson had 68-71139, and Balding had 71-69140. Wilf Homenuik of Winnipeg made the cut with 72-70142, Alvie Thompson of Toronto missed the cut, 71-74-145. Fifty-year-old amateur Dale Morey, who had shared the first day lead, slumped to 73 for a 139 total. South African Gary Player, Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C., -Dave Marr, without a victory since winning the 1965 PGA championship, played through the cold mist and fog Friday to shoot a five-under-par 66 that gave him the 36-hole lead by two strokes at 134 in the $160,000 Greater Greensboro Open golf tournament. A 50-foot birdie putt and an eagle set up by a three wood shot that stopped two inches from the pin enabled Marr to wrest the lead from first round pro co-leaders Gordon Jones and Gene Littler.

Jones and Littler each shot 70 for 136 runnerup totals, THE CITY MATCH PLAY: A case of hit and from the edge of the green each hole. 1 Jones, a non-winner In a dozen years as a pro, shot 3436 and said he sharp" as on opening day. He had trouble with club, selection as the course played longer in the damp weather.

After five front nine pars he went five under with his tremendous three wood that narrowly raised giving him a double eagle on the 503-yard sixth.

Littler, the year's top money had nines of 35-35. He birdied Nos, four, 15 and 16 on putts of from six to 20 feet. A three-putt green and a tee shot that hit a tree brought two back nine bogeys. He said he "messed up" two relatively easy par fives on the front nine by taking three run of bounds on 13th like Cox, and finished with a 70. Quite the most remarkable two rounds were returned by Al Kennedy, the stalwart Quilchena pro who floundered around Richmond for a first round of 82, no less.

Attacking Chilliwack in order to keep in the tournament, he returned, with 'Bill Greatrex of Richmond, the best round of the day, one-under-par 70. Kennedy birdied all the par-five holes and also the short 17th. He had two bogeys, but he had played himself back into the tournament. One more stroke, and he-would have been fighting in the playoff. Seven teed off together for those last five places.

Capi-lano's superintendent Art Donaldson and John Morgan of Victoria made birdies on the first hole, ensuring their places, on the short second, par four, Doug Roxburgh of Marine Drive and Ron Willey, the Marine Drive assistant, made birdies and retired happy. This left Dave Lee of Marine Drive, Ian Daniel of Glen Oaks, and Harry White of Marine Drive. White was the winner with a par four on the 398-yard third hole, with the light almost gone. Sunday sees the battle commence. The luck of the draw, out of my hat by Chilliwack pro Roy Gleig, puts Cox against Point Grey's John Russell in the first game.

One top contender will be out of City Match Play by cocktail time Sunday. This week's work, or, just wait until Toronto gets the Bruins in Maple Leaf Gardens; the Leafs might even score. BIG SIX Seattle Totems' Guyle Fielder has picked his all-opponent team and, no, it's not this year's Vancouver Canucks, in spite of the way the playoffs started. The team does have a definite Vancouver flavor, though, which is flattering, as Fielder, who is just completing his 18th Western Hockey League season, must be considered the league's all-time top player. Hockey fans in New Westminster, who loved to hate the Canucks, will be just as pleased with Fielder's picks, because three former Royals are on the club.

The other three are Canucks, but Vancouver wins in overtime because Guyle named two goalies both Canucks. The team: Goal Gump Worsley, Vancouver; Johnny Bower, Vancouver; Defence Bob Bergeron and Pete Durham, both New Westminster, although Durham played for other WHL clubs; Eight wing Jackie McLeod, Vancouver and Saskatoon; Left wing Gord Fashoway, Royals. Centre Phil Maloney, Vancouver. Worsley and Bower, have been in the National Hockey League so long one tends to forget that they were once Canucks. The Gumper was here in 1953-54 and led the league's goalies with a 2.40 goals-against average and had four shutouts.

Bower succeeded him the following season, and also had the best goals-against average: 2.71. He topped Worsley in shutouts, through, registering seven. Fielder's choices of Bergeron and Durham may surprise some people, considering that defencemen such as Babe Pratt, Roger Leger, Pat Stapleton, Fred and Sandy Hucul, Larry Cahan, Doug Barkley, Hugh Currie and a fellow named Allan Stanley had tours of duty in the WHL. But it's Fielder's team, and he described Bergeron as a "stylist who was never out of position" and Durham who twice was named to the WHL's first all-stars as a "rock 'em, sock 'em type." He was certainly that. Of McLeod, better known now as coach of Canada's national team, Fielder said: "He was a good checker and scorer an all-around player." Fashoway, whose 485 goals in the WHL may never be matched, was' "as good as I've ever seen" around a net.

As for Maloney, now apparently playing out the string with the Canucks, Guyle noted: "When he was in his prime, he was a good checker, shooter and playmaker." NOTES AND LIKE THAT In case you missed it, Clifford Watkins was acquitted in Stockton, Calif, on a robbery charge, the aftermath of that infamous liquor store battle that cost the life of his brother Ted, the former Hamilton Tiger-Cat end. During the trial a prime prosecution witness was impeached as a liar by his own admission. If you're running a pool on how soon Vancouver will be admitted to the NHL, I offer this latest quote from Montreal's David Molson, a member of the league's expansion committee, made to a radio sportcaster: "We feel we'll be expanding for the 1970-71 season and the only decision left to make is which city should be included with Vancouver." 'What's in a name? i Well, consider the case of the San Diego Padres, one of the National League's two new baseball teams. As if it weren't enough that their club symbol is a Little Padre, dressed in appropriate robes and swinging a bat, that their jackets brown with hoods and gathered at the waist by white' ropes, and their offices in San Diego are on Friars Road, now they've gone out and signed a Jesuit as an associate scout. He is the Rev.

Thomas Mulcahy, S.J., currently director of student activities at Gonzaga but formerly a pitcher with; among other teams, Spokane and Lew-iston. And some of the most purple prose to cross our desk comes from, the p.r. departments of various teams. For example: "Wayne Carleton played in a dozen or more (games) with, a leg that looked as tho (sic) it had been fed through meat grinder after a goal post collision." Point Grey's Dick Munn, who won the tournament last year, crept one stroke up on Moryson with a 36 on the front nine, with one bogey and two birdies, and Bob Cox of Quilchena had two birds and two bogeys for a par 37 still two strokes behind Moryson at the turn. But Moryson went two over par on the back nine, with bogeys at the 379-yard 13th and the 378-yard 16th.

'What's more, he was very lucky to make his par at the 18th, for his tee shot hit a car on the QUALIFIERS xBill Carrington (S. rllll U.K.) 75- 70145 74-71145 72- 73145 77-70147 74-73147 73- 75 14S 74- 74148 76- 73149 76-73149 '76-73149 74-75149 76-73149 76- 74150 73- 77150 74- 76150 77- 73150 77-73150 79-71-150 77-74151 77-74151 x-rom Moryson (Grandview D.R.) xBill Greatrex (R.) xGord Fairbairn (P.M.) xGerry Chatelain (Cap.) xDouk Reld (P.M.)

Golf Services. G.S. CLIFF I I By ROLAND WILD Province Golf Writer. CHILLIWACK There were two dramas in the second qualifying round of the City Match Play tournament at Chilliwack Country Club, Friday. First, there was a chase after young upstart Tom Mory-son for the lead by three experienced pros, and then there was a desperate scramble in the wet dusk with seven players fighting for the last five places in the match play combination which starts Sunday at McCleery.

At Grandview Driving Range, Moryson, the young probationary pro, led the field at Richmond last Sunday with a 72 ouuato auau uj. the field. On Friday he had a 73, and he was caught before the turn by Bill Carrington of the Scott Hill Driving Range, who went out in 34, with three birdies, at the 273-yard second, the 451-yard fifth, and the 126-yard ninth. Moryson had a conventional par 37, with two bogeys and two birdies. The Mounlies: Who ivill Expo cuts replace? Special to The Province TEMPE, ARIZ.

Manager Bob Lemon of Vancouver Mounties keeps looking hopefully up the road for a shipment of baseball bodies from Montreal Expos. He's expecting "at least two outfielders and two infielders" from the National League Expos, who, with Seattle Pilots, are sharing a working agreement with Vancouver's Pacific Coast League club. Meanwhile, despite the fact that Lemon is "filling in with kids', the Mounties continued to win their exhibition games. Friday they got excellent pitching from Dick Baney, Richmond's Bob Lasko and BiE Stafford as they shut out Tacoma of the PCL, 2-0. Thursday they beat the parent Pilots, 4-3, with lefthander Edgerton looking good.

The pitching performances helped Lemon forget the loss of southpaw pitcher John Morris, who figured to be one of his best relief men. Morris went back to the Pilots when veteran Bill Henry announced he was quitting the Seattle team. The 41-year-old Henry made his decision after yielding the winning run in Seattle's 6-4 loss to California on Wednesday, saying: "If I can't do any better than that, I don't deserve to be here." Lemon will also need a replacement for outfielder Steve Hovley, considered a fine prospect, had been sent elsewhere, Lemon said: "No ment." The Mounties, who now have a 6-3 won lost spring record against Triple -A competition, host Portland today and Des. Moines on Sunday. Martin gets own place in stands ORLANDO, Fla.

(AP) Billy Martin, new manager of the Minnesota Twins, is going to invest in his team's chances in the 1969 American League season.

Pender Interviews to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday Province Wire Service Houston Astros have withdrawn their lawsuit against the Montreal Expos with the Expos shipping two pitchers to Houston and the much-discussed Donn Clendenon affair is now finally closed. The Expos sent Jack Billingham and Skip Guinn, plus an undisclosed amount of cash, to complete the trade for Rusty Staub, thus resolving the controversial deal. The Astros had filed suit against the expansion Montreal club following a mid-winter trade in which Staub went to Montreal for Jesus Alou. and Clendenon.

Clendenon then announced his retirement from baseball and when Staub refused to go back to Houston, baseball commission Bowie Kuhn declared that a suitable replacement must be found for Clendenon. However, the talent-thin Expos had little to offer and Houston filed its suit. Judge Roy Hofheinz, president of the Astros, said Billingham and Guinn were "just satisfaction" for the loss of Staub. Clendenon had come out of retirement Wednesday and had been offered to Houston by the Expos. The offer was turned down by the Texas team.

Astros' general manager B. (Spec) Richardson said it would cause "a morale problem." A report from Houston said the Astros were given a choice of any Montreal pitcher and chose Billingham, who posted a 3-0 mark With Los Angeles last season. Guinn, a left-hander, spent most of his time at Shreveport of the Texas League and Richmond of the International League. In another but unrelateddeal, the Astros sent pitchers Steve Shea and Howie Reed to Montreal and assigned pitcher Leo Marentette to the Vancouver Mounties, the Expos' farm club. Marentette, considered an excellent prospect, was 2-2 at Toledo last season.

Bo Belinsky, baseball's former playboy pitcher, has been purchased outright from the St. Louis Cardinals by the Hawaii Islanders of the Pacific Coast League. Chuck Tanner, Islander manager, said Belinsky would start the team's second game of the season next week in Honolulu. "I think he has one of the best arms in baseball," said Tanner. The lanky lefty had a 9-14 record with Hawaii last year and an earned-run average of 2.97.

He earned fame when he pitched a no-hitter for Los Angeles Angels seven years ago. FltlDAY Seatle 1, Vancouver 3 First Period 1. Vancouver, Reaume (unassisted) 3.24. Penalties Barlow (Va)) 0:23 and 6:47, Taylor (Va) 8:26, Ward (Se) 8:26, Johns (Va) 17:13, Fielder (Se) 19:32. Second period 2.
