fine assessed against the temper- ~amental golfer for what officials called abuse of sponsors in a re- cent Long Island, N.Y., tourna- ment. _ Bolt was fined by tournament .eupervisor Harvey Raynor after :he had picked up in the Piping ,Rock and Pine Hollow tourma- rments and, according to Raynor, Lhad made unoompliment-ary re- .marks to tournament officials.

Harold Sargent, Atlanta, Ga, zpresident of the PGA, said the «committee, after a thorough re- ;view of the case, had-decided to ,permit Bolt to continue in PGA -competition on the golfer’s prom- :ise that he- would “uphold all of . its standards." "

I won’t spend but two or three minutes ashore after making the first leg and be- fore I start back. _ “If I was on land any longer : It would upset my swimming ' rhythm.”

“Coach Frank Guthrie declared Sandra’s time was the best in the world during the training which stated in Australia last May, yet she isn’t even in the quarter-mile.”

Blue was unconcerned. “After all, he said, “we have an em- barrassment of riches for this race.”

This is typical of Austr l' ’1 confidence on the eve Iota 13h: Games. Although they haven’t been making a great deal of nurse, the Aussies have made no effort to display false modesty. Every statement from the Aus- tralian camp is big news here. I ‘The main news from the Eng- lish track team centres around the three-mile race, in which vet- erans Derek Tbbotson and Gordon Pine carry England’s hopes against Bert Thomas of Aus- tralia, the world record-holder. A big fuss has arisen over the fact that the selectors have not nom- inated Stan Eldon, the fleet-(footed Berkshire policeman, to try to beat Thomas. ‘

Eldon beat both nibotsm. and Pirie the Amateur Athletic As- sociation championships at Lon- don last Saturday.

But that doesn’t bother her. "I just enjoyed the competition and the sport in general and thevonly reason I want to quit is because I have been doing this a long time and there are other things I want to do."

Finigan was American League rookie of the year in 1954 with Philadelphia, when he hit .302, but hasn’t come up to that stan- dard since. He played with De- troit last year and joined the Giants this spring in a trade. He batted 25 times for San Francisco with five hits. ‘

It was also a restful day for the 111 sprinters and quarter- milers who unofficially open the Games today with a total of 21 elimination heats. For half a crown, a spectator can see some of the world’s best runners in ac- tion. It will cost a lot more after the games are formally opened Friday by the Duke of Edin- burgh.

Because most are entered in other events, the) runners are accepting these preliminaries al- most as a lark. But it is serious business for at least two quarter- milers who must either qualify or attend the Games as specta- tors.

One is Charlie Flower, 21, of Gibraltar, whose best time for the 40015 51.8 seconds, which makes him aaslowpoke among the quar- ter-miles. The other, Gerard le Roy, 23, of Mauritius, was clocked in 48.4 two months ago.

A change has been made on the local boxing card that is com- ing off at the Sports Arena this evening.

Word was received yesterday afternoon, by boxing promoter Ivan Doherty that Merritt Pith~ ford, New York City swinger, who was to do battle with Don “Duck” Trainor, was injured in a car accident in Massachusetts, and will be unable to make it here for tonight’s match.

Gaston Roy, former St. Dun stan‘s University student, who is very well known to local box- ing fans, and Norm Gautreau, another well-known name in Maritime boxing circles, will match gloves in the six-round, semi-final bout due to this un- timely accident to Pithford.

This should be an exciting match as boxing flans who have seen Roy battle, should well know. Roy has boxed with ex- perienced and top notch boxers and thrilled the crowds in attem- da-nce every time he made an ap- pearance. Gautreau also can dish it out as well as take it, so all—in- all this should be a real thriller.

The main bout, between Island born Jimmy McGinnis and Jack- ie Long will also keep the fight fans on their toes. McGunm‘ ‘ '5’ last appearance here was all too short as he polished off his op—
