Scoreboard

P: Just to make sure that his British-bred bay, Gallant Man, would not repeat his heartbreaking Derby defeat, Texan Ralph Lowe sent a stablemate, Bold Nero, into the Belmont Stakes to press favored Bold Ruler from the start and wear him down. Bold Nero did the job well. When Jockey Willie Shoemaker saw the two leaders begin to fade, he gave Gallant Man the signal to go. The little colt caught Bold Ruler at the head of the stretch, put him away with ease and won by eight lengths. Gallant Man's time for the iJ? mile test, oldest and brightest bauble in the triple crown of the turf, was an American record: 2:26.6. Bold Ruler was a badly beaten third, four lengths back of D & M Stable's Inside Tract.

P: Occidental College's Olympic pole vaulter Bob Gutowski already had his event won at the N.C.A.A. track meet in Austin, Texas when the bar was moved up to a world's record 15 ft. 9 3/4 in. He cleared it on his first try.

P: None of the competition had the pep to pace him, but British Miler Derek Ibbotson was in a hurry nonetheless. His wife had just given birth to a baby girl, and he was anxious to get home. So he raced away from the field at the Glasgow Police sports meet.and brought his daughter an impressive prize: a 3.58.4 mile, his second under four minutes and the second-fastest on record.

P: Just in time to beat the trading deadline, the Milwaukee Braves bought themselves some pennant insurance by talking the New York Giants out of veteran Second Baseman Red Schoendienst. In return the Giants got Pitcher Ray Crone. Second Baseman Danny O'Connell and Outfielder Bobby Thomson, the man whose home run brought them the pennant in 1951. In a multiple shuffle mainly concerned with minor-league players, the New York Yankees let Infielder Billy Martin go to the Kansas City Athletics for Outfielder Harry Simpson.

P: Baseball's book of records was brightened up with some new statistics: for the second time this year, Boston Red Sox Outfielder Ted Williams clouted three home runs in a single game to tie a National League record last matched by Ralph Kiner in 1947. St. Louis' Iron Man Stan Musial, still playing a steady first base at 36, played his 823rd consecutive game to break a 20-year-old National League record.
