Scoreboard

P: Sprinting back as though possessed, the outfielder grabbed the fly ball on the dead run--and disappeared into the nearby woods. While the robbed slugger whooped with delight and the stands cheered, bewildered prison guards tardily set out in chase. But fleet-footed Centerfielder Ronald Mules (larceny, breaking and entering), had broken up the ball game and broken clean away from the Concord, Mass, prison farm.

P: Casually upping the beat to a fast 36 for the final drive, Yale's power-stroking crew, built around three veterans of the 1956 Olympic winners, defeated Pennsylvania by 2 1/2 lengths in the 27th Blackwell Cup on the rain-flattened Harlem River. On Carnegie Lake, rowing with five sophomores in the shell, Harvard won the 22nd Compton Cup by 2 1/2 lengths over Princeton in record time, raising the probability that the traditional Yale-Harvard race in New London next month will be a keel-hauler for both crews and will settle the championship of the east.

P: Beating to windward in light air, American Skipper Warner Willcox eased his sleek, 33-ft. International Class sloop into a commanding lead, finished well ahead in the last of seven races to lead his team to victory over the Bermudians for the 51-year-old Amorita Cup, grand prize of Bermuda Race Week.

P: A bare three weeks after he directed his St. Louis Hawks to an upset victory over the Boston Celtics for the N.B.A. championship, Coach Alex Hannum abruptly announced that he was quitting the club. Reported cause of the break: the penny ante salary of $10,000 offered by terrible-tempered Hawks Owner Ben Kerner.
