AQUATICS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Ender resets worid record

CALI, Colombia (/)-Kornelia
Ender of East Germany smash-
ed her own world record in the
women's 100 - meter butterfly
last night in the II World
Aquatics Championships, and
Americans Tim Shaw and Billy
Forrester joined her as gold
medal winners.
East German Ulrike Tauber
also captured a gold as her
country, and the United States
waged a strong battle for the
unofficial team title, with the
Americans holding a slight ad-
vantage in golds and in total
medals after finals in six swim-

ming events yesterday.
UNIVERSITY of Michigan
swimmer Gordon Downie, swim-
ming in this meet for Great Bri-
tain finished fifth in the men's
400-meter freestyle with a time
of 4:02.88. The event was won
by America's Shaw in a time
of 3:54.88.
Miss Ender, who had set the
previous mark of 1:01.33 last
month, ripped off a time of
1:01.24 last night to set the sec-
ond world record of these
.games. The American 400-meter
medley relay team set the first

world record on Wednesday
night.
Shaw, of Long Beach, Calif.,
won his second gold medal of
these games, defeating team-
mate Bruce Furniss of Santa
Ana, Calif., in the 400-meter
freestyle. Forrester, 17, of Jack-
sonville, Fla., rallied strongly to
win the 200-meter freestyle.
MISS TAUBER won the 400-
meter individual medley, aveng-
ing an earlier defeat inflicted
by American Kathy Heddy.
In yesterday's other finals,
Zoltan Verraszto of Hungry up-
set world recordholder Roland
Matthes of East Germany to
win the 200-meter backstroke
and David Wilkie of Great Bri-
tain won his second gold medal
here, this time in the 200-meter
breaststroke.
After last night, the United
States and East Germany were
locked in a tie for gold-medal
leadership in the swimming
events with six each. East Ger-
many had six silver medals to
five for the Americans, who
were ahead 5-2 in the number
of bronze medals.

OVER-ALL in these games
which include competition in
diving, water polo and synchro-
nized swimming, the Americans
held a 7-6 lead on East Ger-
many in gold medals on the
strength of Phil Boggs' earlier
victory in springboard diving.
The Americans had a good
chance at another gold in div-
ing. Janet Ely of Albuquerque,
N.M., put on an impressive show
yesterday in leading eight quali-
fiers into today's final of the
women's platform diving.
Miss Ender, 16, who suffered

a disappointing loss to Ameri-
can Shirley Babashoff Wednes-
day night in the 200 freestyle,
took away all doubt early in
last night's race with a scorch-
ing first 50 meters that moved
her far in front of the field.
By the 75-meter mark, she
was merely racing the clock,
Rosemarie Kother of East Ger-
many was second is 1:01.80 and
Camille Wright of New Albany,
Ind., was third in 1:02.79. Jill
Symons, 14, of Chico, Calif., was
fourth in 1:03.51.

NOT MUCH went right for the Yankees yesterday against Detroit poked three sacrifice

1-0. man until singles by Claudell
Weiskop! and Nicklaus out front

seventh. Jackson followed those
hits with a sacrifice fly.
None of Detroit's five runs
scored on a hit.
The Tigers scored three times
in the third off Jim Perry, 4-9.
Tidrow swept
CHICAGO - Reliever Dick
Tidrow hit Bill Melton with a
pitch with the bases loaded and
two out in the eighth inning,
forcing in the run that gave the
Chicago White Sox a 1-0 victory
over the New York Yankees
and a sweep of yesterday's
doubleheader.
The White Sox won the open-
er 4-3 on Brian Downing's 11th-
inning homer off Tidrow.
The nightcap was a scoreless
duel until the eighth when the
White Sox broke through for
the game's only run. Pete Var-
ney led off the inning with a,

single and Downing came in to
run for him. Pat Kelly sacri-
ficed, and Bee Bee Richard sin-
gled Downing to third.
Tidrow replaced starter Larry
Gura, 3-3, and walked Ken Hen-
derson intentionally. But after
striking out Deron Johnson, he
clipped Melton with a pitch,
producing the game's only run.

ing Boston to its third straight
victory and 14th in 16 games.
Wise has won eight of his last
nine decisions, raising his record
to 13-6.

ILE BIZARD, Que. VP) - Jack Nicklaus came
back from a three-hour weather delay, com-
pleted a 65 and tied Tom Weiskopf for the lead
yesterday in the uncompleted first round of
the $200,000 Canadian Open Golf Tournament.
After the 3 hour, 2 minute delay due to thun-
derstorms, play was finally resumed at 7 p.m.
EDT and eventually halted by darkness at 8:45.
Nine players were stranded on the course
and will complete play this morning.
Weiskopf played in the morning half of the
field, completed his round before the rain,
wind and lightning swept the 6,628-yard Mon-
treal Golf Club layout and set a course record
with his five-under-par effort.
Nicklaus, however, was caught by the storm,
sought shelter in a private residence adjoinig
the course and waited it out.
He was six-under-par through 12 holes
at that time and needed only to par in for a
64.
But when the storm finally lifted, the wind
remained. Nicklaus made four tough pars, bo-
geyed his 17th hole and had to sink an eight-
foot second putt for par on the final hole.
"I wanted to finish," Nicklaus said. "I was
six-under-par when we held up. You sure want
to finish in a situation like that. But after the
storm the playing conditions were much
tougher."
Nicklaus said; however, that his concentra-
tion was effected by the lengthy delay.
"We were out there for 7% hours,"- he

said. "It's tough to keep thinking about golf
for that length of time,"
He and Weiskopf shared a two-stroke lead
over South African Gary Player and five others
tied at 67. Also at that figure, three-under-par,
were John Schlee, Bob -E. Smith, Mike Mc
Cullough, Pat Fitzsimons and Australian David
Graham.
"I know there'll be a lot of argument about
it," said Player, also caught on the course by
the storm, "but I believe anythime you start
a round you should finish it. I don't think a
round should ever be washed out. If you can't
complete because of darkness, come back and
finish the next day. Over the years, it'll all
even out."
It was the ninth time in the last seven tour-
naments that weather has forced a cancellation,
suspepnsion or delay of play.
The most serious, of course, was the
lightning that sent Trevino, Bobby Nichols
and' Jerry Heard to the hospital after a
storm in the Western Open at Oak Brook,
Ill., five. weeks ago. No .one was injured in
the Canadian storm.I
Arnold Palmer, who scored his first profes-
sional victory in this tournament in 1955, had
it four-under-par through 16 holes but, in the
gathering gloom of approaching darkness, made
double bogey five on his 7th hole and . finished
with a 68.
Johnny Miller .matched par 70. Lee Trevino
had a 71 that he said. "should have been a
76;" U. S. Open champ Lou Graham shot a 73.
