Scoreboard

P: Thanks to Turf Columnist Evan Shipman's complaint, New York's Metropolitan Jockey Club belatedly arranged to televise its last race of the spring meeting: the $111,700 mile-and-a-furlong Wood Memorial. And thanks to the desperate courage of Belair Stud's big bay colt, Nashua, closing from behind in the final jump to nip Mrs. John W. Galbreath's Summer Tan by a neck, millions of televiewers saw a thriller.

P: For the first time since the club was formed in a London pub half a century ago, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge soccer team shouldered its way to the front of the First Division and won the English League title.

P: With thoroughgoing scorn for Kansas City's big-league pretensions, the Chicago White Sox slammed so many home runs (seven), and scored so often (29 times) as they whipped the Athletics, 29-6, that they tied the modern major-league scoring record for one team in one game. Co-record holders: the Boston Red Sox, who humiliated the St. Louis Browns, 29-4, in 1950.

P: While undergraduates turned out in traditional skimmers on the banks of the Schuylkill, the University of Pennsylvania's varsity eight-oared crew pulled away from Princeton and Columbia, held its lead through the last mile of the Henley (mile and five-sixteenths) course, and held on to rowing's senior sprint-racing trophy: the 76-year-old Childs Cup.
