Scoreboard

P: Boston's Theodore Samuel Williams was still suffering from a painful case of rabbit ears. Booed for muffing an easy fly ball in a game with the Yankees, Outfielder Williams did a slow burn. By the time he made a game-saving catch, even the cheers sounded like jeers to Terrible-Tempered Ted. His neck swelled, his eyes bulged, his blood pressure soared, and he popped off in a reaction which had been puzzling dugout scientists for weeks: turning to the crowd, he began to spit like an alley cat. The Red Sox's General Manager Joe Cronin made a hasty diagnosis, this time prescribed a generous dollop of a tested home remedy. He fined Ted $5,000. One of the best batters in baseball history had finally matched Babe Ruth, whose Lucullan feats with hot dogs, soda pop, fast women and the old bubbly earned the Babe the same fine back in 1925.

P: The Intruder, a rank in-and-outer owned by the Allwood Stable, hardly got started in the first heat of the Hambletonian at Goshen's Good Time Park, and finished eleventh. But in the next two tours of the track, The Intruder waltzed home from far back to take the $100,604 stake. Next day the Hambletonian Society announced that it was moving the "Wagon Horse" classic to the Du Quoin, Ill. State Fair.

P: As if they knew in advance that they could not repeat last year's upset of the Cleveland Browns, the College All-Stars loafed through the 23rd annual preseason charity football game and took an embarrassing 26-0 pasting from the pro champions. High scorer: Cleveland's Lou ("The Toe") Groza, who booted four field goals and two points after touchdown.
