Scoreboard

P: Willie Hartack, three-time (1955-56-57) national jockey champion, made his debut as a jumping rider at New Jersey's Monmouth Park, gave Mielaison a near-perfect ride over the ten-jump, 1 3/4-mile course, won by 4 1/2 lengths, announced: "It was a greater thrill than winning the Kentucky Derby."

P: Likable, low-pressure Mayo Smith was rudely fired after more than three years of indifferent success as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, was replaced by onetime (1948-52) Phils' Manager Eddie Sawyer, last man to lead the team to a pennant (1950).

P: Frankie Carbo, hoodlum and longtime reputed "Mr. Big" of boxing, ran afoul of a Manhattan grand jury, got socked with a ten-count indictment charging conspiracy, unlicensed matchmaking, acting as undercover manager of professional fighters by using licensed "front" men.

P: Australia's 20-year-old Herb Elliott got spiked in the getaway rush, encountered stiff head winds in the homestretch, still managed to win the British Empire Games mile at Cardiff, Wales in 3:59--his seventh under-four-minute mile.

P: U.S. athletes got off to a fast start in the big dual meet with the Soviet Union in Moscow's Lenin Stadium, took an early 42-24 lead as the Russians piled up enough points in the women's events to stay close.

Other U.S. winners: Ira Murchison (100-meter dash), Glenn Davis (400-meter run), Parry O'Brien (shotput), Ernie Shelby (broad jump), Barbara Jones in the women's 100-meter dash.
