Present record of 10 hours, 50 minutes was es- tablished by an Egyptian swim- mer in 1950. Jensen, shown with SPORT FROM BRITAIN his coach, Steve Mellors (right) of Toronto, as he shakes hands with his sponsor, Norman Co- hen of Toronto, will swim from Cap Griz Nez, France, to Dover, | England. (CP Photo) Canadian Swimmer Will Try Channel LONDON (CP) -- A Danish- wort Canadian, paced and coached by Canadians, next month will make an attempt to smash the English Channel swim record. : Helge Jensen, 20, arrived in Britain from Toronto earlier this mohth to go into training for his Aug, 3 attempt. He is to be paced by John pagki of Ottawa and coached by 4 earold Steve Mellors of Tor- onto. Jensen hopes to knock at least 30 minutes off the present record | seconds. of 10 hours, 49 minutes set by Hassan Abd el Rehim of Egypt| in 1956. 5 The attempt will begin from Cap Gris Nez, a small fishing| port. near Calais that has become famous as a starting post for Channel swims. It is expected to (finish somewhere between the |Kent coastal towns of St. Mar- |garet's and Dover. The route, [nich has to fit in with strong | currents and shipping, has been {mapped by the Royal Navy. | _Mellors, who left his native | Glasgow 10 years ago to coach Canadian distance swimmers, |took Jensen up to Scotland July |16 to compete in the Firth of Forth Race. He easily won the | £200 first prize, covering the 11 miles from Kirkcaldy to Porto- | bello in six hours, 26 minutes, 39 The fastest Channel crossing by| a Canadian is 13 hours, two min- utes, by Jacques Amyot of Que- | minutes was only two hours out- Donnie Graham whacked in five hig runs, four with a bases- loaded home-run clout and big Bob McKillop supplied a hitless relief pitching for two innings, as People's Credit Jewellers came from behind to defeat the Oshawa Wilkinson Construction Juveniles 5-3 at Talbot Park last night. The win for People's increased their nold on first place in the Leaside Junior Baseball League standings while the Wilkies still remain in the loop basement. Playing before over 300 fans, Dave Gaite, Wilkies' classy left- handed pitcher and Dave Wright, hooked in a real keen pitchers' battle, which was appreciated by the fans. Waite hurled a nifty five-hitter at People's, walking just three and fanning seven. However he delivered a "gopher" pitch to Graham with the sacks loaded, which gave People's their narrow victory. Besides his pitch- ing performance, Waite also add- ed a pair of hits, including a dou- e. Wright, on the mound for the winners, went the first seven frames hurling a five-hitter but he needed relief help from Me- Killop: who gained credit for the win. McKillop was flawless in re- lief, allowing no hits and walk- ing a pair of men. People's jumped into a 1-0 lead in the 3rd frame, with Wright aid- ing his team's cause with a sin- gle. Bobby McKnight walked and Donnie Grahang poked out a run- producing double, to score] Wright. Waite worked himself| out the inning, reeling off a self- executed twin-killing. | Wilkies evened matters up at a run apiece, in the 5th, on suc- cessive walks to Jimmie McCon- | The first attempt at the swim by a Canadian was in 1922, when Omer Perreault retired after only three hours in the water. Three later attempts also ended in fail- ure. The first successful Cana- dian was Winnie Roach of St. Thomas, Ont, who finished seventh in the 1951 Billy Butlin race. In 1955 Marilyn Bell, a 17-year- old Toronto schoolgirl, became the youngest swimmer ever to complete the gruelling 22 - mile course. Her time of 14 hours, 36 side the best time ever recorded by a woman. The pioneer swim was in 1875 by Matthew Webb, a Liverpool bec City in 1956. Jensen, who has lived in Canada for four years,| covered an equal distance in just over 13 hours in a trial swim last| summer, sea captain. Eight years later he was drowned while trying to swim the rapids at the foot of Niagara Falls, [People's Credit Defeat Wilkies on smart base-running, scored on Waite's single bunt. Wilkies moved out in front 3-1 in the 7th with a pair of tallies. With one out, Waite starting the two-run rally with a long double, Cliff Godridge went out on an infield grounder, moving Waite to third base. Myron Mech also walked and team captain Bobby Reid poked a clutch double, plat- ing both Waite and Mech. Trailing 3-1, going into the bot- tom of the 7th, the roof fell in for Wilkies. A walk to Keith Warl- ing and two infield errors allow- ed Bruce McClean and Wright to fill the bases. Waite, with none out got pinch hitter Barry Maines| on strikeouts. This set the stage for Graham to be the night's hero. With the count two balls and one strike, Waite delivered a low, fastball which Graham pounded out of the park for the' winning runs. WILKIES WOES Waite pitched probably his best game| of the season, making only one bad pitch .. . Ted Whiteley con- tinued his torrid hitting, lashing out two more hits, to move his average up over the 300 mark, for the first time this season . . . Stan "Butch" Dowe and pitcher Pete Connor currently recovering from injuries, start to workout with the team on the weekend and will probably see action in the next 10 days . . Wilkies next see action this afternoon at Alex- andra Park, hosting the People's outfit, Game time is 2.00 p.m. THE BOX SCORE key and Dave Ferries.

(AP) American Association baseball records serve as proof of the horsehide theory of relativity. he thoery, basically, states that mercury and tempers have an inverse ratio--that is, when the temperature rises, tempers become shorter. Association President Ed Doherty has seen many temper displays in his 40-odd years in baseball. But this summer in the association tops them all "It's the first time I ever saw a manager tear up an umpire's lineup card. "HOT WEATHER PRODUCES RARE BASEBALL TRICKS "It's the first time I ever heard a manager order a pitcher to throw at the plate umpire while the catcher stayed on his haunches, "And it's the first time I ever saw a player wear a hangman's noose to indicate he thought the umpire choked up on a decision." All three violators were fined along with various pugilists of the diamond who indicated their displeasure with the way things were going by popping somebody on the snout. POLONIA BLANKED Wi 'Hungaria Quits Cellar 'With Win Over United Two league games. were play- ed on Thursday evening in the Kinsman Stadium and it seems that the further the league sched-| ulé progresses the closer the race for top spot. At the present time six clubs are in contention with four tied in points. : Hungaria, as a result of their win over United, have climbed| out of the cellar for the first time this season and are showing some very classy soccer. Polonia have hit a bad slump and were again blanked on Thursday, when Italia put the whami on them by a 4-0 score, dropping them into the cellar in place of Hungaria. "UNITED SHORT-HANDED United also shares the bottom spot with Polonia, but they were badly handicapped on Thursday against Hungaria when, because of a lost letter, some of the play- ers were not informed of the match in time and the team play- ed with only nine men. However United played a stub- born game and it took Hungaria twenty minutes to break the ice, bit then a foolish penalty put more in the second period while United scored one on a penalty shot by Laidlaw. Scoring for the winners were Nagy with two, Kamondi, Belak and Matyi with singles. SHUTOUT FOR ITALIA Italia and Polonia displayed some good soccer in the second game but Italia had all the scor- ing, two goals in each period. Polonia played gamely but could not penetrate the Italia defence in order to score, although Galea, in the net for Italia, had a lot to do with the result, by making two or three tremendous saves. Towards the end of the match, a player from both teams was hurt, but for some unexplained reason Polonia played the re- mainder of the game with two men short which failed to<help their cause. Scoring for Italia were Battista with two, Demarco and Bizzotto with singles. FUTURE GAMES Saturday, July 23: 1st Round Ontario Cup -- Kickers vs. Ham- ilton United at 7.30 p.m. and as a warm-up, at 6.30 p.m., the Old- timers will play Courtice.

The play came with two men out in the fifth inning of Phila- delphia's 30 National League victory, Felipe Alou hit a boun- cer towards third base. Step- ping back, third baseman Joe Morgan stabbed the ball but fell and it was ruled a single by official scorer James K. McGee. Morgan said he should have been charged with an error but Roberts took the ruling phil- osophically. "You don't know, you don't known," Roberts said. "If they didn't give the boy a hit on that one they might have got- ten another. I'm very happy to pitch like I did and win." In a career that started in 1948 with the Phils, Roberts has had three one - hitters but never a no-hit performance. Giant Manager Tom Shee- han said: "I don't see haw they could call it anything but a hit. I just wished we'd got- ten more of them." Expect Record Soccer Crowd Tonight's Game The largest crowd of the sea- son is expected at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium tonight, when Oshawa-Kickers meet Hamilton United in the first round of the Ontario Cup. The game will be a sudden-death affair, with extra time being played if necessary. The referee for the game, ap- pointed by William Simpson, the secretary of the Ontario Football Association, is Bob Reid, an in- ternationally known referee, from Toronto. Alfred Lehmann, the manager of the Oshawa-Kickers team, was confident today that his club can defeat the strong Hamilton team, who have two former Scot- tish First Division players in their ranks. Lehmann was dis- appointed though that his ace leftback, Dunai, of Kickers, will probably be unable to play due to an injury sustained in the last game. However, Herbert Schmidt, an experienced veteran, will take Dunai's place at left- back. The Kickers lineup will be as follows: Rohr, App, and Schmidt; Jockel, Seide and K. Hess; Bres- san, Kraft, DiDianelli, Duiella and Streef; Substitutes: John, Dunai and Fry.
