Olympic Doors Opened To Botli Chinese Teams

HELSINKI. July 17 - (AP) - After heated debate. the ruling body of the Olympics today threw open the doors to teams from both Communist and Nationalist China. The Nationalists refused to accept the terms and decided on a. boycott.

At best, Red China. can compete only in swimming. with Red China in. there will be 70 coun-1 tries and 8.000 athletes. The games open Saturday.

The action of the International Olympic Committee over-ruled J. Bigfrid Edstrom. its president, who announced recently that neither Chinese faction could compete be- cause of non-payment of dues.

Gun Sun Hon, who pleaded the case of Nationalist China before. the committee, protested the "un- lawful decision" and refused to let his team participate.

He told the committee he fear- ed one of the team's members. "rung Shou I, had been arrested and probably killed in Communist China. He said he thought a cable sent to the committee. and pre-

THE GUARDIAN” CHARLOTTETOWN

JULY 18, 1952

TimE, it is said, is a great heal-

er. This must be true in the case of Johnny Horeck. who early this week wired the Sydney Million- aires about a coaching job for next season. Last Tuesday. Horeck, who played with the Islanders two years ago and coached the Moncton Hawks last winter. sent the fol- lowing wire to Roy Duchemin, president. of the Sydney Million- aires: rlntci-ested in coaching Sydney Club this winter. Assure you a Maritime and Dominion championship come spring. Must know immediately if you are in- terested. Wire reply." . . .

A year ago last spring a person would scarcely believe his eyes after reading such a telegram. That would be the time of the Is- landers-Millionaircs playoffs in which Horeck played such a fiery part and became public enemy No. 1 in Sydney. Last winter, with all its trials and tribulations changed a lot of that however as Sydney and Moncton got along without too many heated clashes. . . .

As Aubrey Keizer in the Sydney; Post-Record notes it could never be said that Horeck was ever stuck for words. Nor does Horeck ever go half way about anything. In his telegram to Duchemin Hor- eck doesn't mince too many words when he premises is Maritime and Dominion championship. There was one thing that stood out about Johnny and that was his will to win and his ability to put fight in a' team. We are refer- ring to Johnny as a player as he was known in Charlottetown. There are many who thought that the Islanders lost a lot of their drive last year as the result of losing Johnny Horeck to Moiictnii. Last winter members of the Is- landers would relate how Horecl: could sit in a dressing room, cri-

WINNFPEG. July 1'1-(CP)- Johnny Palmer. 34-year-old sun- tanned professional from North Carolina. today led a par-smashing attack in the 515,000 Canadian open golf championship and wound up with a four-hole lead at the half-way stage of the 72-hole com- petition.

A professional for 14 years, Palmer faltered only once on to- day's round-when he three-putted the 16th green where he missed a two-footer-and came in with a 65. a competitive record for the

st. Charles Golf and Country Club course. It was his own best tournament score of this year.

Added to an opening-day 65. when he shared the lead with two oth- ers. it gave him a total of 131. Nearest to Palmer in the race for 33.000 first money came Skee Rie- gei of Tulsa. Okla.. who put to- gether rounds of 66-69 for 135. He yielded two strokes to par on the 17th and 18th holes. Threatening the

Another incident. a heart-breaker for Joe Richard of Saint John. was related to us by Jack Heiinessey last night. Richard, who ran the six mile event, finished second but wkhen he came to the Judges stand it. was ruled that he had not made the 24 laps of the track although Hennessey and the Halifax athlete.-. who were watching were certain that he had.

As a result it was ruled that Richard did not finish the race al- though Richard himself and the others felt that he-had placed sec- ond to Roy Appleton. This was certainly a tough break for Joe, who at 37. is nearing the end of his running career. Richard placed second in the six mile run here on July 1. He also left II very favor- able imprcssion on those with whom he conts.ct .at .thnt time.
