1 2 VICTORIA TIMES. TUESDAY. JULY 3, 1979 Tomsett shares pistol gold; Willock gets cycling bronze a qom time trial, behind a strong American team and Cuba. And Budgets, giving Canada strong hopes for a medal in softball, got off and running with a tough, 2-0 victory over Panama. It was the combination of Dave Ruthowsky's pitching and the offensive punch of Bob Walton and John Green that carried the team to victory.

Ruthowsky, who was a member of the team that wound up sharing the 1976 world championship with the U.S. and New Zealand, shut out the Panamanian squad on two hits. Green scored both runs, riding home each time on hits by the hard-hitting Walton. Canada, coached by Victoria policeman Harvey Stevenson, didn't have much time to savor victory, however. They were due to go back on the field today against the U.S., the team expected to be Canada's main threat for the gold medal.

The U.S., like Canada, is built around its national champions (Reading, Pa.) but supplemented with a few key additions. SAN JUAN, P.R: Victoria athletes came through in sterling fashion in opening competition at the Pan-American Games. A gold medal a bronze and a good getaway by Victoria Budgets, Canada's representatives in men's softball. That was Monday's tally. Art Tomsett, a 51-year-old handgun enthusiast from Saanichton, hit the bullseye.

A member of the Canadian team along with Bud Wolochow of Richmond, Tom Guinn of South Woodslee, and Calgary's Ed Jans, Tomsett collected his medal Monday when Canada won the team free pistol event in shooting. The Canadian shooters beat out Cuba and host Puerto Rico. The bronze medal-winner from Victoria was Bernie Willock, a 21-year-old forestry technician and a member of Victoria Wheelers. Willock, Eon d'Ornellas of Oshawa and a pair of Quebeckers, Pierre Harvey and Normand teamed up to finish third in the 100-kilometre team swimming solo event, finishing less than half a point behind Michele Beaulieu of the U.S. and more than a point ahead of the second American, Linda Shelley.

The Canadian cycling team of Eon d'Ornella, Oshawa, Pierre Rimouski, Normand Roxboro, and Bernie Willock, Victoria, picked up a bronze behind the U.S. and Cuba in the 100-km. time trial and Ron Hampson of Hamilton was a bronze medalist in middle heavyweight judo. Tracy too steady for -grand dame' V' ilv 'M iPi viY .1 1 Ji LONDON (AP) Tracy Austin, the schoolgirl, mas-' tered Billie Jean King, the grand dame, 6-4, 6:7. 6-2 Monday and reached the Wimbledon tennis semifinals for the first time.

"It was one of the best wins of my career," the 16-year-old Californian said after a two-hour battle that swayed back and forth and enthralled the 17,000 fans on the centre court. Martina Navratilova, the defending champion, came back from a slow start to defeat Dianne Fromholtz of Australia 2-6, 6-3, 6-0. Austin will face Navratilova in the semi-finals Wednesday. Chris Evert Lloyd out-stroked Australia's Wendy Turnbull 6-3, 6-4.

Aubin (right). American quartet won gold with Cuba second. Carlos Palhero of Brazil won the gold medal in the division and Cuban Jose lbanez was the winner in the heavyweight class, in which Canada was not represented. The first two roller skating time trials resulted in victories by Ken Sutton of the U.S. in the men's 500 metres and Claudia Rodriguez of Argentina in the women's 5,000.

Canadian teams won convincingly in women's basketball and men's softball and lost narrowly in men's Goolagong of Australia snuffed out Britain's hopes bv hammering Virginia Wade 6-4, 6-0. Now its Tracy Austin against three experienced stars who have all won the title. Evert Lloyd has won it twice, Navratilova and Caw-ley once each. King, 35, won the Wimbledon women's doubles title with Karen Hantze in 1961, the year before Austin was born. She has won the singles crown six times.

She played with all the guile she has learned in 19 years of Wimbledon campaigning. She volleyed with her old authority and had her young opponent scampering in vain after angled shots and heavily spun drops. Beal, claiming his first decision, were Sunday's winning hurlers. Beal turned in his most impressive performance, holding the Padres to four hits. Adding to Mussels' cause was solid defensive play by Victoria.

The Mussels committed only two errors in the three games.

The men's softball team defeated Panama 2-0 while the women lost to the U.S. 1-0 in 15 innings. The baseball team's game against Venezuela was rained out.

Laurie Mann of Prince George, the first Canadian boxer to see action, lost a decision to Jubenal Lorca of Chile in the 56.5-kg. class. But in the end, Austin's steadiness and quiet temperament won the day. While the "old lady" fussed and fumed over line calls and shouted encouragement to herself and beat the ground with her racket, the kid on the other side of the net never lost her cool. In men's singles, John McEnroe's shocking exit has left Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors on a collision course for a decisive semi-final meeting and giant-killer Tim Gullikson contemplating the possibility of reaching the final.

Gullikson crushed the second-seeded McEnroe 6-4, 6-2. 6-4 Saturday and was facing Roscoe Tanner, a man he has always beaten, in today's quarter-finals. But the top half of the draw contains the heavyweights and if Connors and Borg can win quarter-final matches today, they will meet each other in a semi-final. Borg was playing 35-year-old Dutch veteran Tom Okker, while Connors faced fellow American Bill Scan-Ion, a man who had never won a round at Wimbledon before this year. The winner of the Gullik-son-Tanner quarter-final will play the winner of the match between outsiders Adriano Panatta of Italy and Pat Dupre of the United States.

The defeat of McEnroe, the 20-year-old whiz kid who found the pressures of Wimbledon too much, came in a duel that transfixed a capacity crow on court No. 2, the court that had already claimed three previous seeds. But Gullikson's victory was the biggest upset of the lot. Saturday's results: WOMEN'S SINGLES Chris Evert Lloyd, U.S., def. Laura Dupont, U.S., 6-2, 6-1 Billie Jean King.

Trouble is, Bellingham Mariners are doing the same thing. SAN JUAN (CP) Four years ago in Mexico City, the United States won all but two swimming events at the Pan-American Games. After one day of the current Games they have swept the first five, including one that got away last time.

With additional victories in synchronized swimming and springboard diving, seven of the 10 gold medals the American earned Monday were won in the Pan-Am pool. The others came from roller skating and two team events, the 100-km cycling time trial and the air rifle competition. If Canadians hoped for better things in the pool, where their medal bag contained two silver and three bronze, they were heartened by their performance on the shooting range, where they picked up two gold and two bronze medals in four events. In the entire 1975 Games Canadian marksmen won only three silver and two bronze. Argentina also collected two gold medals, in shooting and roller skating.

The other two were won by Brazil and Cuba, both in judo. Guy Lorion, a 26-year-old salesman from Longueuil, whose best previous international performance was a third-place finish in the 1978 Benito Juarez meet in Mexico, was a surprise winner in the individual air rifle event and the Canadian team prevailed in the, free pistol competition. Tom Guinn of South Woodslee, a member of the winning free pistol team together with Ed Jans of Calgary, Art Tomsett of Victoria and Bud Wolochow of Richmond, was a bronze medalist in the individual event, as was Kurt Mitchell of Calgary in the individual air rifle, won by Argentine Walter Bauza. Nancy Garapick of Halifax also mounted the podium twice, collecting silver medals in the women's 200-metre individual medley and the 4x100 medley relay. She might have been queen of the pool if Tracy Caulkins hadn't been It was the 16-year-old from Nashville, who finished ahead of her in the individual event and whose strong opening leg was a key factor in the U.S.

victory in the relay. It was the same story in the men's swimming events. Ambrose Gaines and David Larson finished 1-2 in the men's 200 freestyle, which had been won by Jorge Del-gado of Ecuador in 1975. Bob Jackson was nearly a full second ahead of Brazilian Romulo Arantes in the 100 backstroke, in which Steve Pickell of Vancouver took the bronze. And Graham Smith of Edmonton, who won the event at the 1978 Commonwealth Games, finished behind Steve Lundquist and Greg Winchell of the U.S.

in the 100 breaststroke. The springboard diving developed into two separate contests, in which Denise Christiansen edged out U.S. team-mate Janet Thorburn for the gold medal and Janet Nutter beat out fellow-To-rontonian Linda Cuthbert for the bronze.

CYCLING 100 km team time trial: Eon d'Ornellas, Oshawa, Pierre Harvey, sRimouski, Normand St-Aubin, Roxboro, Bernie Willock, Victoria, won bronze. By BILL WALKER Times Staff It was a record day at Sandown Raceway Monday and biggest crowd ever, wagered the most money ever on the standardbreds here and got to see the darling of the $2 bettor, Mitchs Butch, do what he does best. The six-year old black gelding, owned by W. Landry of North Vancouver, trained by G. Brown and driven by Grant Hollingsworth, won the featured Dominion Day pace in the good time of 2:05.4 and returned $6.40, $3.30 and $3.70.

It was the fourth straight win for Mitchs Butch, his fifth of the meeting, his sixth of the year and, in seven starts here, he has been off the board only once, having previously placed. And Mitchs Butch did it differently than in his usual front-running style, by coming from off the pace in last place in the field of eight for the victory. The holiday crowd was 2,311 and pushed $153,365 through the mutuels. And the total might have been higher as several patrons were left at the wickets with money in their hands especially in the early races, because of a shortage of clerks and not understanding perhaps that harness races are run off more quickly than the thoroughbreds. The $153,365 figure is over $15,000 higher than the previous high of $137,828 wagered on the final day of last year's meeting.

And the weekend totals of 3,911 fans (1,570 Saturday) and a mutuel handle of $266,899 ($113,534 Saturday) are also new two-day marks. For Hollingsworth, it was his second win. He as in the sulky for Need Kash ($6.50) in the fifth. Willie Urquhart also drove two winners, Dustys Day ($11.40) in the sixth and Jefferson Style in the eighth while Jim Gagnon finally got his first winner with Ringing Time ($9.50) in the third. It was a day mostly for favorites or near public picks which went well with the holiday atmosphere with the biggest exactor being saved for the final race.

And a shocker it was as Rocket Dale, a five-year-old bay gelding, winless this year and unplaced here in five starts, charged down the lane to pick up Come Back Due in the final strides to return $57.60 and combine with Come Back Due for an Exactor of $262.50. On Saturday, there was a shocker as well, this time in the feature. The heralded Billie Barker, who had won his first two starts here and is the Western Canada mile record holder of 1:58 45, went to the post a prohibitive favorite but came back a well-beaten fourth. beating administered by the five-year old gelding B.C. Classy under a masterful drive by Keith Linton with Andys Janice second and Andys Peyton third with the winner timed in 2:03 25, a lifetime best.

B.C. Classy returned $14, $5.30 and $3.50. Trouble lands on Rocks Shamrocks meet Nanaimo at Memorial Arena Wednesday at 8 p.m. and will probably fill with senior and junior Esquimau Legion players as they have done in past games. Mussels swept a three-game series from the Walla Walla Padres at the weekend but failed to gain on Bellingham as the Northern Division-leading Mariners also came up with three victories.

The Bill Bryk-piloted Mussels outmuscled Padres 14-9 Saturday, scoring eight times in the first inning, then swept a Monday double-header 6-2 and 7-1 at Walla Walla. The doubleheader was set up because rain postponed Sunday's game. Mussels now have won seven of their last eight games. They also have a 10-3 victory pending as the result of suspension of last Friday's game in Victoria. Mussels visit Grays Harbor tonight and Wednesday, then return to Victoria's Royal Athletic Park for a six-game stand that starts Thursday against Bend.

Roger Dubyna, another a one-time Shamrock, scored the tying goal at 16:39 of the third period to even the count at 11-11 and send the teams into overtime. And in the extra session, it as two other former Shamrocks who returned to haunt their former clubmates. Doug Angrove, who played as a junior with the Shamrocks last year, scored two goals and Ron MacNeil, the WLA most-valuable player with Victoria last year, scored once. MacNeil had three goals and two assists on the evening while Angrove had a pair and one assist. Alexander led the Shamrocks with four goals and three assists.

Rick Baker, Jim Lynch and Bill Mare-chek each scored twice while singles went to Andv Reid, Chris Hall and Art Webster. Bob Cool had four assists. Cool came out of the contest with a back sprain. Other players on the Shamrock injury list include Larry Bell, broken finger; Joe McCrea, bad knee; Kevin Kennedy, knee problem; Dave Thomson, bruised shoulder, and Gerry Cad-wallader, recuperating from an appendectomy. "We don't know when any of them will be back," said Hull.

Suddenly Victoria Shamrocks are in trouble. After running up their highest goal ouput of the season (21) against Coquitlam Adanacs last Wednesday and registering their seventh straight victory doing it, the Irish got rudely bounced off the victory wagon in Nanai-mo Saturday and suffered another injury in the process. With their lineup already depleted by injuries, the Rocks lost Norm Baker in the first few minutes and later were beaten 14-13 by the Timbermen in a Western Lacrosse Association overtime battle. As a result, the Rocks' manpower shortage has increased and, if Baker is lost to the team for any appreciable time, the Irish will be missing their premier face-off man. "We are down to 12 players," said general manager Leon Hall.

"We didn't get many faceoffs after Baker went out and Nanaimo got all 10 in the overtime." Baker was taken to hospital suffering from a neck injury, the full extent of which is not yet known. Strengthened by the addition of former-Shamrock Cham Dhillon, who retired earlier this year, the Timbermen led the Shamrocks 5-4 after one period and 9-7 after two but still had to ALT A Pts 12 8 0 272 244 24 11 6 1 218 184 23 11 8 1 257 234 23 8 13 0 261 304 16 5 12 2 186 229 12 Tuesday Nanaimo at Coquitlam Victoria New West Vancouver Nanaimo Next same Vancouver. toria, Bud Wolochow, Richmond, B.C. si Iver Cuba, bronze Puerto Rico.
