Scoreboard

P:On the rain-slicked turf of Philadelphia's Merion Cricket Club, Wimbledon Champion Tony Trabert whipped his Davis Cup Teammate Vic Seixas and took away the Pennsylvania State Grass Court championship, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. Earlier, in the Pennsylvania and Eastern women's final, Wimbledon Champion Louise Brough beat New York State Champion Althea Gibson for the women's title 1-6, 6-2, 6-1.

P:Filipino fight fans took exception to Featherweight Champion Sandy Sadler's rough-and-ready tactics in a nontitle fight with Manila favorite Flash Elorde. While Sandy was firing at Flash with head and elbow, the crowd was taking pot shots at the ring with stones and pop bottles. The referee penalized the champ so often for dirty fighting that Elorde had no trouble winning a unanimous decision.

P: Swaps, the gallant California colt that upset Nashua in the Kentucky Derby, will get another crack at the Eastern champion. Running over the Derby distance (1 1/4 miles) and carrying Derby weight (126 Ibs.), the two thoroughbreds will meet in a match race at Chicago's Washington Park on August 31.
