bvevinig standard Monday February 9 45 Sports Standard Board to back world title claim By WALTER BARTLEMAN Jacklin the rest nowhere BOGOTA Colombia Monday Tony Jacklin won the Bogota Open golf tournament here with a four-round total of 261 American Gene Borek was far back in second place on 274 The 28-year-old Jacklin took 4680 dollars (£2000) in prize money after his first victory in this Caribbean tour He took second place to another English golfer Peter Oosterhuis at the Venezuelan Open in Maracaibo last month Jacklin broke the course record in the second round on Fridav when he fired a 10-under-par 62 It was one of my best rounds he said 27-under-par four-round total set a new record for the Los Lagartos course The previous record was held by the Argentine's Roberto de Vieenzo who carded a total 269 in the 1968 Colombian Open English pro Peter Townsend last winner finished 27th with a disappointing 294 Orville Moody of the US fired a five-under-par 67 for third place LEADING SCORES 261 Jacklin (GB) 68 274 Borek 72: Moody 67: 279 A Ivan civile Ira (Colombia) 73: 282 Casper 71: 283 It de Vieenzo (An) 71 Trevino steps in as Fezler fades FORT LAUDERDALE Florida Monday Lee Trevino captured the 270000 dollar (£110000) Jackie Gleason Inverrary golf classic today as he passed faltering Forrest Fezler at the final hole Trevino was three shots behind when the rainy final play started but moved up as Fezler met problems on the outward nine The outcome was not clear until the final hole when Fezler missed a 4ft putt which would have placed him in a tie with Trevino The 33-year-old Trevino now with 14 victories on the US tour had an even par 72 for a nine-under-nar total of 279 It earned him the cheque of 52000 dollars C22000) Fezler who has never won on the tour received 29640 dollars (£12500) for second place Greenwich sweep to bowls title THE GREENWICH rink of Kent bowls star Frank Sekjer swept to a runaway 23 14 win over Ascot in the final of the English Indoor FYmrs Championship at Highgate The triples title went to the Preston (Hove) trio of Maurice Knight his father skip Gay and No 2 George Haddon They led all the way to beat Smerdon's Exonia trio 19 11 WITH HIS bumps and bruises subsiding his aches easing and no reaction from a left-hand injury which nearly ruined his title fight effort Johnny Clark newly -crowned bantamweight champion is setting his sights for the future Immediately after his momentous 15-rounds win last week over the Belfast Irishman Paddy Maguire the 25-year-old Clark from Walworth was talking of bidding for the European crown Retired Bui the world it would seem is now his oyster and manager Denny Mancini tells me that two promoters have already sounded him out on a world title issue over which at present there is some confusion we are still Interested in the European championship and now thait there seems to be no doubt that the Spaniard Augustin Benin has retired Johnny should be ready for Italy's Franco Zurlo for the vacant title bv reasoned Mannni That is plan one But this paternal grandfather on the day of the Maguire fight was withheld until afterwards Tribute When talking of his title triumph Clark paid a handsome tribute to his trainer Charlie Page an irrepressible Bethnal Green cockney and one-time classy lightweight who has made a name ror himself as a singer of ballads dead strict about training but not nasty strict if you know what I said Clark got a knack of maintaining discipline and dedication but at the right time he'll come out with something that makes you roll up" Page is certainly a skilled and experienced mentor one of the best of a band of men who play such a vital part in producing champions but who enjoy little of spotlight No surprise It was no real surprise when 20-year-old Steve Hudson decided to quit boxing 18 months ago after winning five of his six paid fights Working as a short-term dollar broker in the City earned him a comfortable living But the lure of the ring has proved irresistible for Hudson who begins his comeback on the Premier Ring Sporting Club bill at the Royal Garden Hotel tonight when he fights Pat Marshall in what might be considered a not too ambitious start Hudson looks to have an assured following He has sold £500 worth of tickets for his first comeback bid European hopes: EBU turn down protest FRANCO ZURLO Aussies face tour defeat ST Antigua Monday The Australian cricketers are in danger today of suffering their first defeat on their West Indies tour against the lowly-rated Leeward Islands The Islands gained a 22-run first innings lead yesterday and by the close of play on the second day of their three-day match had dismissed six Australian second innings batsmen for 167 runs With tail-enders Jeff Hammond and Terry Jenner at the crease when stumps were drawn and Bob Massie John Watkins and Dennis Lillee left to come the Australians have a modest lead of 145 runs MCC match vyashed out PESHAWAR Monday Play was washed out on the third and final day of the MCC match against the North-West Frontier XI here today The umpires inspected the pitch twice today and made a final decision in the

OF SPAIN Trinidad Monday Kent and Trinidad all-rounder Bernard Julien hit 82 not out to consolidate position against Barbados in their Shell Shield cricket match here Julien hit eight fours and four sixes to help them to 124-run lead after skipper Joey Carew and wicketkeeper Deryck Murray had piloted Trinidad past 236 with a 153-run fifth wicket partnership Leathered WELLINGTON New Zealand Monday

could be quickly followed by a world title chance In defeauiLg Maguire so conclusively and putting his bad luck behind him Johnny showed that he is a class craftsman who should atm at the higher target Nomination And with the Mexicans bumping each other off with regularity it's about time someone else took a hand" This reasoning won the support of Ray Clarke secretary to the British Boxing Board of Control who told me: "In some quarters Romero Anaya Is recognised as the world champion but not by the World Boxing Council of which we are a member When the WBC asked for our nomination to fight Mexico's Rodolfo Martinez in place of Senin we suggested Anaya or Rafael Herrera despite the fact that they too are Mexicans At that time the British title was vacant with Clark not commanding a place in the first 20 of the world ratings But now it is a far different picture and one which I think will appeal to the WBC The Board will now do all in its power to push world title fight claim and after watching him in the terrific fight manager George Francis was angry when he said today absolutely dis gusted This is the second time this has happened to Bunny and last time I protested to the Board I was assured it would not happen again Bunny is the only British fighter to have defeated Bogs in his own country at that and to be ignored like this is heartbreaking particularly as he gets 2

be little doubt that he merits the fullest support and Mancini is a trifle peeved at suggestions that Clark might have taken a lot out of himself in one of the best-ever British bantamweight title clashes It was a gruelling fight all right but no one should get the idea that it caused any harm to my fellow" snorted Mancini Johnny took the majority of Maguire's two-fisted attacks on the arms and gloves and while that sort of thing looks very punishing there can be no lasting effect" Despite the grandiose plans now being made for him after long being troubled by injury and illness bachelor Clark is keeping both feet well anchored to the ground Next week he will be resuming his Job as a lithographer and he praises his employers in that they offer him every facility for training when a fight comes along Johnny its also mindful that he has a mother who does not enjoy the best of health while his father nurses a leg that was shattered in the War Clark is greatly attached to his family and for this reason the news of the death of his so few good earning chances in his own country Bouttier beat him it's true but it was a great fight The Frenchman gave up the title to try for the world crown and now is being allowed to creep back" Francis points out that it could be some time before Sterling gets a chance Bogs does not have to defend his title until June 3 a WISBOROUGI1 GREEN
