Who Won

> Stocky, 33-year-old Joseph John Lordi, former Notre Dame baseballer: the U. S. national amateur squash tennis championship; for the first time; by beating his New York Athletic Club mate, Frank Iannicelli, younger brother of famed squash tennis pro and world's open champion, Tom Iannicelli; by a score of 15-9, 8-15, 15-9, 15-6; at Manhattan's Columbia University Club; thus succeeding Harry Florian Wolf, eleven times national champion, who did not defend his title.

>Cutup Frank Kovacs, 21, of Oakland, Calif.: the national singles indoor tennis championship; for the first time; beating Portland, Ore.'s Wayne Sabin in straight sets (6-0, 6-4, 6-2); at Oklahoma City. Surprise of the meet was the Oklahoma City Tennis Club's announcement: "If you feel like heckling the players, go to it."

> Plump Robert Tyre Jones and white-haired Tommy Armour, who have yet to lose a golf match as a team: a 36-hole benefit match (three-and-two) for the Bahamas branch of the Red Cross; from aging pros Gene Sarazen and Walter Hagen; at Nassau. Winning score: seven under par for 34 holes. Referee: His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor, clad in plaid sports coat, yellow slacks and sneakers. Said the Duke, after noting a poor shot by 48-year-old Hagen: "He is like me. He is getting to be an old stager."

>Tough Tami Mauriello, 21, pride of New York City's Bronx (East): a middleweight prize fight; from leathery Steve Belloise, pride of The Bronx (West); by a knockout ; in the first round ; at Madison Square Garden. When Tami, 161 lb., gets his growth, Manhattan ringsiders think he might be a match for Heavyweight Joe Louis.

>Handsome, amiable Tomas Picasso : the world's record for consecutive parachute jumps in one day; with 39 jumps; beating by one the record of U. S. Jumper George Waltz; at Buenos Aires. Twice Picasso's only chute ripped, and he had to sew it up before continuing. Once it opened scarcely 200 ft. off the ground, gave him a bad bump.
