in in wins trio but Canada loses "We're still about three months away from the national championships and five months from the said Cole yesterday. "At this stage in the game, the times were about what we expected." "I think our team was outstanding when you consider they had a lot of hard swimming among them in a short space of time," Cole "I can tell you they were tired afterwards." Miss Tanner, 17, holder of half-a-dozen Commonwealth and Pan-American gold medals, said she is pacing herself towards a peak for the Mexico City Olympics in October. "I figure I'm swimming about two seconds slower than I want to be doing just before Mexico," she said. TIME OUT! Canadian Press LONDON, May 27 Ten young Canadian swimmers relaxed yesterday by trying out London's Crystal Palace pool for speed after sharing competitive duties through 30 races crowded into about six hours at Coventry the day before. An 18-strong British squad beat the Canadians 14 events to 10 in the official match, which included 22 individual events and two relay races.

But Canadian coach Trevor Cole of Port Alberni, B.C., was happy with the showing, which featured three victories by Elaine Tanner of Vancouver and Winnipeg, a Canadian record by Marion Lay of Vancouver and two wins in three starts for Edmonton's George Smith. Syndicate, 1908 "Good heavens! You want this one, too, when the umpire has a whole pocketful of them for you to play with?" THE MONTREAL STAR, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1968 29 Dr. Joly, St. Marie register 'aces' However, Miss Tanner's standard slowness was good enough Saturday to give the Winnipeg-based swimmer victories in the 110 and 220-yard backstroke events, the 110- yard butterfly and the backstroke stretch of the 440-yard medley relay. The relay eventually went to the British girls, despite Elaine's lead on the first leg and a valiant attempt by Miss Lay to recover lost water in the final, freestyle lap.

But the relay team--with Sylvia Dockerill of West Vancouver on breaststroke and Marilyn Corson of London, on butterfly-clocked a Canadian record time of four minutes 44.2 2 seconds, onetenth of a second better than the old national mark set at the 1966 Commonwealth Games. Miss Lay, 19, improved on her own Canadian record in taking the individual 110-yard free style in 61.1 seconds three-tenths of a second faster than her previous best -from rising British star Alexandra Jackson. The Vancouver girl, now living in California, also knocked off the 220-yard freestyle a couple of hours after her hard swim in the relay. Smith, 18, took both the men's individual medley races, at 220 and 440 yards, from Britain's Ray Terrell, but found three races too much and missed in the 440- yard freestyle grind. Jim Shaw, 18, of Toronto won the 220-yard backstroke.

Champion Mets drop double, Elias pitches Granby victory Lachine Mets have made an inauspicious debut in defence of their Provincial Baseball League crown. The champion Mets were drubbed 17-3 by Sherbrooke in Lachine yesterday afternoon and then fell 5-3 at the hands of the same club last night. Sherbrooke clubbed five Lachine pitchers, including manager Claude Groulx, for 18 hits in winning the opener. Rookie Julien Ouellette, however, had pitched the Mets into a 2-1 lead before leaving the game in the seventh inning.

Sherbrooke then added six runs in the eighth and 10 more in the ninth to conclude the rout. The Mets didn't help their cause with atrocious fielding that accounted for six errors all told. The two teams were again involved in a tight mound duel in late innings last night before Sherbrooke erupted with four runs in the eighth off lefty Andy Occhionero to break a 1-1 St. Laurent paced by Brown, Bastien St. Laurent Braves remain at the top of the National Junior Baseball League ladder today, A and two of the main reasons are Randy Brown and Bob Bastien.

Brown won his third straight game with a five-hitter as the Braves walloped Terrebonne 8-1 Saturday, and Bastien clouted a grand slam homer in St. Laurent's 13-3 triumph over Sorel Athletics yesterday. The Braves top the circuit with an impressive 7-0 mark. In other weekend action Pointe aux Trembles squeaked past Verdun 2-1 and Terrebonne blanked St. Jean 7-0.

St. Henry Royals and N.D.G. Senators shared the limelight in the Montreal District Junior Baseball League over the weekend. The Royals, with centrefielder Pierre Perreault rapping a homer, a double and a single, clubbed Longueuil Dukes 9-4 to extend their unbeaten string to three games. Bob Hoffman tamed the Dukes on five hits.

The Senators, meanwhile, posted their first win after three straight losses as they whitewashed Rosemount 7-0 behind the magnificent two14-strikeout pitching of southpaw Dave Mason. It was Mason's first start of. the year for the defending champs. He had been limited to bullpen duty by manager Dave Cochrane because of disciplinary reasons. Other Montreal League contests saw Laval Eagles shade Ville Marie 8-7 in 11 innings; Kiwanis Maisonneuve belt Montreal, Toronto's Paul Lottman and Bob Kasting of Letherbridge, each had three races to swim.

The Canadian swimmers have two days for sightseeing before flying home Wednesday. Dr. Jacques Joly and Roger St. Marie both registered Holes in One at the Hemmingford Golf Club recently.

Dr. Joly sank his tee shot on the 140 yard eighth hole using an eight iron and was playing in a match with Denis Clairmont, Roger and Pro Gerry Huot. Clairmont and who shared in the excitement of Dr. Joly's ace also were in on the big moment for St. Marie who aced the 135-yard third hole with a seven iron.

Yvonne Gregoire completed the foursome.
