final at the Canadian tennis championships. Reed. from Alameda, .Ca‘lif.,

took a 3-6, 7-5.‘ 0-6. 6-4, 10-8 deci— sion from Japan's Kosel Ka-mo in one of the hardest played matches seen m Vancouver. Bedrard. defending champion and ranking Canadian player. won easily over young Mike Crane of Berkeley. Calif” in the day's other semi-(final, setting the

stage for a tough duel between the first seeded players among Canadians and non - Canadians.

That final ~till be played this afternoon on the glans courts at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club.

K amo, ranked third here among the foreign entries, put up a spirited and agile defence de- spite progressive exhaustion un- der the hot sun.

Even Reed. normally a relaxed player. seemed tired as the three- hour matched neared its end. Kamo had played three matches Thursday. .ncludiog a tour-hour, five-set contest when he elim- inated Toronto's Don Fontana.

The Rodney miss trailed in third most of the mule, moved to the outside at the three-quarters and won by half a length from Venture. The latter, with Bob Walker up, was in, com- mand at every pole except the half when Claudia’s Song (Wa- then) had the lead briefly on the outside. In the stretch driver Matora Hanover (J.

VANCOUVER (OP) — Hockey. star Murray (Bert) Olmstead was released on $1,000 bail Fri- day less than five hours after he was sentenced to six months in jail for what the magistrate termed a “brutal assault” on a West Vancouver man. »

Chief Justice A. C. DesBrisay granted the bail pending the hearing of an appeal by Olm- ‘stelad in. Victoria Sept. .

Allan W. Mercer, Omstead’s counsel, said the Toronto Maple Lealfis player will return to his farm at Sceptre, Sask., to har- vest hiis crops pending the appeal.

The six-two, lilo-pound player

traded to Leafs last month from Montreal Canadiens, slumped in the dock when the sentence was passed.

What effect the term will have on his playing career was not im- mediately known.

Olmstead‘s lawyer, Alan W. Mercer, said there would be an appeal and he would ask that Olmstead be released oon bail while it is pending so he can at- tend training camp next month and harvest the crop on his Scep- tre, Sash, farm.

Rooney, who weighs 135 pounds. said Olmstead' beat him “50 times” over the head and neck. Olmstead' testified that Rooney hit him and knocked him down first. I

Magistrate J a m e s Bartman found Olmstead made a “brutal assault” on Rooney who was beaten "beyond recognition” at the June 28 banquet.

Magistrate Bartram said Olm— stead had the “audacity to tell this court that be administered this beating in accordance with his professional training in a sport he makes a business of, and which we have come to regard with national pride."

Olmstead had testified during the trial: “You are taught in pro- fessional hockey to keep your temper at all times and not start, fights, but that if. anybody swings at you, you retaliate.”

The magistrate said: "Here is a trained athlete, who, without cause, without explanation, warn- ing or even apparent regret, bru- tally assaults this little and de-

fenceless complainant, a com— plete stranger.” “Bodily harm may not be

measured by broken ribs or su- tures." the magis‘ral'e said. “I have been reminded by counsel that this is his (Dims-tends) first offence and he has my deep sym- pathy. but the evidence before me Is most aggravating."
