Soviet and record-breaking East Germans outpaced rivals in the pool then climbed the medal rostrum to distance themselves from the politics which has robbed the 22nd Olym piad of the long-awaited clash of the giants of the swimming world. “After this competition, I wanted to leave the sport but now I will have to go on (in order to swim against the strong missing teams),’’ said Sergei Fesenko, who won the 200-meter butterfly final Sunday to collect the Soviet Union’s first-ever men’s swimming gold medal. “That Mr. Carter asked all his team to leave was very wrong. I hope I have a chance to meet my American colleagues again.” The American men won 13 out of 14 swimming titles at the 1976 Mon treal Olympics. In their absence at Moscow, homespun talent has the chance to ferry the balance of power across the Iron Curtain. The Russians picked up four of the five gold medals at stake the first day, winning the free pistol, the 100 kilo meter time trial in cycling and the featherweight weightlifting as well as Fesenko’s title. Barbara Krause, a 21-year-old East German police sergeant, locked up the world 100-meter freestyle re cord in her opening heat, clocking 54.98 to trim almost half a second from the mark she set two years ago. r Major League Standings National League American League East W L Pet.

On Saturday, the Texas A&M Uni versity track star finally made the U.S. Team by piling up 4,314 points in the pentathlon competition of the Liberty Bell nd Field Classic in Philadelphia. Waltman, from Fort Worth, did not score enough points to place in the top three, but made the U.S. Team on the basis of her final total. Canada’s Diane Jones Konihowski won the event with a 4,640 point total. Waltman set a world record in the pentathlon 880-yard dash on June 21, running the race in 2:09.3, beat ing the old record set in 1979 by the Soviet Union’s Yekatrina Smirnova, who ran the race in 2:09.4. Waltman finished third in that pentathlon, but did not make the Team.
