Scoreboard

P: With Jockey Willie Hartack beating out his usual rib-rattling tattoo (TIME, Feb. 10). Calumet Farm's Iron Liege sprinted home by half a length at Florida's Hialeah to win the $65,700 McLennan Handicap and Calumet stable's first major purse of the 1958 racing season.

P: Cantankerous Outfielder Ted Williams needed just one hour of contract talk before signing up for his 20th season with the Boston Red Sox, and for good reason. His probable salary: $135,000, the highest in baseball history. At 39, said Williams, "I don't feel any different from ten years ago. I'll play as long as I can."

P: Riding powder-puff breezes. Racing Master Carleton Mitchell skippered his stubby, 39-ft. Finisterre with his familiar finesse, made the most of a long windward beat to win the 184-mile blue-water Miami-Nassau race for the second year in a row.

P: After collecting a bet on the winning gelding Bali Ha'i at a race in Auckland, N.Z., Britain's touring Queen Mother Elizabeth got an even more pleasant surprise. When she presented a gold cup to Owner Sir Ernest Davis, Sir Ernest announced: "We have with us the greatest lady in the world. I want to present Bali Ha'i to her on behalf of the sporting public of New Zealand."

P: Even on their home court, the Detroit Pistons had a hard time holding off the invading Syracuse Nationals, but they had a knobby-kneed, balding veteran named George Yardley, and he was more than enough. While the Pistons eked out the game, 118-113, Yardley pushed in 52 points to break this season's National Basketball Association record that he used to share with St. Louis Hawk Bob Pettit.
