Mackenzie on way to great achievement in Diamond - Sculls

Henley-on-Thames, June 30. There were few shocks at Henley Royal Regatta today, where racing continued in a chill breeze under dull overcast for two thirds of the day.

Stuart Mackenzie, Australia's Olympic silver medallist and winner of the Diamond Sculls here in 1957, 1958 and 1959 sounded a warning to Poland's Teodor Kocerka, winner in 1955 and 1956 and competing again this year, with a record time for the first half of the course in that event today.

Altogether 37 wickets fell for 323 mans to both pace and spin in just over a day and a half on a well-grassed pitch.

Today, it was the turn of the pacemen with Denis A'Court, a newcomer to the Gloucester- shire side, taking six for 25.

Gloucestershire's victory was made possible by devastating medium-fast bowling by A'Court and David Smith, who look four for 20, and the deler- mined batting of Ron Nicholls, this season. He hit 12 fours At Worthing: Sussex 284 and Nicholls, showed the necessary during his 3% hours at the 171 for

London, June 30, Defending champion Maria Bueno, aged 20, of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and 21- year-old Sandra Reynolds, of Bloemfontein, South Africa, will battle out the Wimbledon women's singles final on Saturday. Before a capacity centre court crowd today, the lithe, sallow-skinned Brazilian staged off a late rally by Christine Truman, idol of British tennis fans, to win decisively by 6-0, 5-7, 6-1, in 69 minutes after a scin- tillating first set, which she captured in only 12 minutes.
