Scoreboard

P: In Seattle, Slo-Mo-Shun V, a roaring, red-tailed hydroplane, skittered for 90 miles across the surface of Lake Washington at an average speed of 99.108 m.p.h. as Pilot Lou Fageol won the fifth straight Gold Cup championship for Seattle's Car Dealer Stanley Sayres. P: In Chicago, Jerry Barber from La Canada, Calif., played 72 holes on Tarn O'Shanter's tricky course in 277--n under par--to win the $25,000 All-American tournament. In the women's division, Mildred ("Babe") Didrikson Zaharias continued the winning pace she has set since her cancer operation last year, fired a record-breaking seven-under-women's-par 69 on her way to the Tam title. P: At Goshen, N.Y., on the mile track of Good Time Park, Newport Dream trotted away from a field of 15 other three-year-olds to win the 29th Hambletonian Stakes. Off form all spring, the bay colt won the first he'at handily, just managed to finish ahead of Harlan in the second.

P: In Manhattan, two former heavyweight champions, Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis, and onetime Welterweight, Lightweight and Featherweight Champion Henry Armstrong, were the only modern boxers elected to the new Boxing Hall of Fame. Among the oldtimers chosen: James J. Corbett, John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson, Joe Gans and Stanley Ketchel.
