Scoreboard

P:Wet Scottish weather that chilled the rugged old Royal and Ancient links at St. Andrews, where golf grew up, seemed made to order for the U.S. Walker Cup team. The Americans whipped the best British amateurs 10-2. No U.S. golfers had done as well since the team that boasted Bobby Jones and Francis Ouimet won by the same score in 1930.

P: Limping along on an injured foot, Barbara Romack, 22, champion U.S. amateur woman golfer, lost the British amateur championship by spraying her drives all over the windswept Royal Portrush course in Northern Ireland. Winner, by 7 and 6: Scotland's Mrs. Jessie Valentine, 40, who first took the title 18 years ago when Barbara was just four years old. P: After two years of digging in newspapers and record books, Philadelphia Baseball Fan John G. Tattersall discovered that statisticians have been shortchanging oldtime Second Baseman Napoleon Lajoie. Credited with a .405 batting average in 1901, Nap actually hit .422, highest ever in the American League, a fact now duly recorded in baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y.
