Who Won

P: Eddie Stanky, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, a rhubarb with Umpire Douglas ("Scotty") Robb over a third strike called on Cardinal Shortstop Solly Hemus. National League Boss Warren C. Giles, who saw the row, in which Robb pushed Stanky, let Eddie off with a $50 fine, tabbed Hemus for $25, then slapped Robb with a "sizable" fine "much greater than the combined fines of the players."

P: Sam Wilson Jr.'s Derby Candidate Gushing Oil, the mile-and-a-furlong $31,150 Blue Grass Stakes, by a length over C. V. Whitney's fast-closing Cold Command, on a sloppy track, in 1:52 2/5; at Lexington, Ky.

P: Patty Berg, low first-round honors in the Richmond Women's P.G.A. Open golf tournament, a dazzling 64 strokes, setting a women's world competitive record (the old one: 66, held jointly by Mrs. Opal Hill and Babe Didrikson Zaharias); at the Richmond (Calif.) Country Club's par-72 course.

P: Bruce Parker and Evelyn Wolford, the world's long-distance water ski record. Trying to make a nonstop, 196-mile ski from Nassau to Miami behind a speedboat, the couple hit a squall, were spilled by 20-ft. waves after traveling about 135 miles in 6 hrs. 5 min.

P: Frank Stranahan, 8 and 7 over Frank Strafaci, to take his third (in seven years) North & South Amateur golf championship; at Pinehurst, N. C.

P: The University of Pennsylvania's varsity heavyweight rowing crew, the 21st Blackwell Cup race, nosing out Yale's crew by ten feet in a 1 1/2-mile race; on the Harlem River, N. Y.
