FIGHT-OARED FEATURE

Main interest centres in the Grand Challenge Cup for eight- mircd shells. in which Russia will he represented by the Krasnoo 7namia club. Russia startled the miiing world when she won this mom in 1954. and the Krylis So lNOV crew that pulled the trick Ii i-ountcl one of the finest ever to pull cars on the Thames.

in 1955 Canada's famous Unl- xorsity of British Columbia eight rliminated the Russians in a race kllll regarded as a Henley "clas- iic." but in the final the Cana- mans were beaten by half - - length by the University of Penn- riliania.

The Henley regatta which dates back to I839 is one of the great events of the English "season" and by tradition is as much a so- cial Is I sporting event. Along the fresh meadow borlerlng the river sparkling white tents and inu- quees Ind gaily-covered awnings are ready for the thousands of visitors who come to watch the rowing and admire the color of the blazers and caps of the men. and the gay dresses and bright sushades of the women.

RISING COSTS

The "straight course." first used in 1924 after part of I mild-river island had been removed to make way for it, is described as "about one mile. 550 yards." The distance from start to finish is. in tact. exactly one mile. 570 yards. but boots start with their sterns on the start with their sterns on the start line and finish when the bows hit the line It the opposite end of the course. And with racing shells averaging about 60 feet in length. the actual distance rowed is that officially listed.

For the regatta organizers. the most serious problem is the ris- ing cost of staging the annual event. A century ago most of the expenses were paid by local bus- inessmen who benefited by the boom in trade. In 1841. they laid outilsl. This year. the cost ll expected to be about 5125.000. but Henley-on - Thames businessmen

I Say: Royals

will pay only a fraction of this covered in admission fees to the; exclusive Stcwards' Enclosure. l

An example of rising prices: at yihe first regatta, medals and cups. for the winners cost 1268 - thilp pyears collection is worthy than 112.500. R

He was in the throes of creat- ing this masterpiece to end all masterpieces when the NBA stepped in to daub it up. Only I man with the touch of genius would dream up I championship match between two heavyweight fist-fighting champions.

Promoter Hurley. grantcd the northwest territorial rights to pro- fessional champion Floyd Patter son. faced what to I lesser man would be an insurmountable bar- rier. Where would he find an op- irsw gates.

To Hurley the answer was easy. Peter Rademacher. an exfootbnll player who won the heavyweight title in thc Olympic Games in Australia was willing and avail- able. Furthermore. with his foll- owing in that territory there was bound to be enough local interest to guarantee a good gate.

As a home-town pridc. if an im- known quantity in the professional ranks. Rmlcniachrr was just the man to tackle Patterson in his first pro fight. and maybe his last.

Broken dow n. P 'asl's quotes can be interpreted mat Holt will not manage me Montreal club this! year but probably next year. i

"Goldie is perfectly capable of: handling the Montreal club." saidl Bavasi. "but be is perfectly satis- fied to stay where he is and wel are happy to have him remain! there. He thinks he can bring the. Macon club up higher than its cur- . rent sixth-place standing and we; agree with him." i

The Montreal club currently is, being managed by Al Ronning, tiltei RoyaIs' catcher. Greg Mulleavy, who began the season at the Roy- sls' helm. resigned June 14 be. cause of the poor showing of thel. team. He was temporarily re-; placed by Al Campanis. field dl-i tor of the farm club of the parent Dodgers. Running took over Iev-l eral days ago. ,

"We expect to name I Montreal l manager within three or four. days." said Bsvasl. "Right now I have no idea who he will be." '
