Scoreboard
P: Egged on by a righthanded Alabama pitcher named Frank Lary, the Detroit Tigers have turned into a team of raging rebels. Fairly foaming at the very sight of a Yankee, the American League's spring patsies have become summer terrors, clawed the Yanks seven times in a row, pushed their season record to eight-out-of-twelve over the league champs. Lary himself has accounted for half the victories. P:Before the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta started, the Cornell varsity was known as the best nonwinning crew in the nation. When the regatta ended, every Big Red crew on Lake Onondaga had proved a good deal better than that. After falling scant seconds short in shorter races all season, Cornell finally found the three-mile I.R.A. course just the right distance. Understroking the opposition all the way, the varsity beat Navy by three lengths. Using the same tactics, the Jayvees and Freshmen completed Cornell's second sweep of the lake.
P: Keeping his eye fixed on all possibilities of turning a fast buck, Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain, the 7-ft.-2-in. lapsed amateur from the University of Kansas (TIME, June 2) looked over the basketball season ahead and announced a change of plans. Rather than gamble on taking his own team on tour, Wilt decided on a sure thing. He signed a one-year contract with those skillful showboaters, the Harlem Globetrotters. His pay: $65,000.
