A roundup of the sports information of the week

BOATING—Veteran racer BILL MUNCEY, 41, won his fourth President's Cup on the Potomac River, collecting 1,100 points in his classic-design unlimited hydroplane MYR'S SHEET METAL. Bill Schumacher finished second with Parco's O Ring Miss, but set the fastest heat record of 103.77 mph on the 15-mile course.

BOWLING—Lefthander EARL ANTHONY of Tacoma, Wash. broke three PBA marks in winning the $32,500 Seattle Open, his first tournament victory. He set a record in finishing the 24 qualifying games with a total of 5,825 pins for a 242 average, and the 50 bonus pins awarded for each victory in match play moved his totals to record marks of 9,564 and 10,064, giving him a final 239 average.

FISHING—Trolling off Makaha, Hawaii, three Los Angeles couples, Mr. and Mrs. Pat Morello, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lewis and Mr. and Mrs. Mike Wachtler—plus charter-boat Captain Cornelius Choy and his daughter Gail—jointly hauled in a 15-foot, eight-inch-long, 1,805-pound Pacific blue marlin, largest fish (other than sharks) ever caught on rod and reel. Although the marlin beats the world record by 245 pounds, it will not be recognized by the International Game Fish Association since no one person landed it.

GOLF—HUGH ROYER fired a final-round 69, two under par, to slip past Bobby Nichols and take the $130,000 Western Open in Chicago with a 72-hole total of 273—his first victory in 3½ years on the pro tour. Nichols, who had a one-stroke lead going into the weather-delayed final round, shot a dismal 75 and finished in a tie for third with Jack Nicklaus, Bert Yancey, Tom Weiskopf and Jim Jamieson, as Dale Douglass carded 69 and a 274 total to take second.

SAILING—Three 12-meter yachts began trials leading ultimately to the selection of the U.S. representative in the America's Cup competition. After the first week on Long Island Sound, VALIANT appeared to be the early favorite over Intrepid and Heritage (page 18).
