Scoreboard

P: Pressagents gave a mighty buildup to Heavyweight Challenger Roy Harris, 25, of Cut and Shoot. Texas, but they forgot to give him a mighty punch. Half with a right and half with a shove, Harris put Champion Floyd Patterson, 23, on the canvas for a four-count in the second, the only round he won. But the expressionless champ did not even blink, came back to floor Harris four times, open up a mass of cuts that required 14 stitches to close. After twelve rounds the challenger was a bloody hulk, could go no farther. Referee Mushy Callahan took one look at the helpless Harris and stopped the slaughter. Patterson, virtually unmarked, was still champion.

P: Darlene Hard of Montebello, Calif, had not played tournament tennis all season, was too busy working as a counselor at a Massachusetts camp. But after finishing her morning camp chores last week, 22-year-old Darlene got back into action, teamed with Jeanne Arth of St. Paul in an unseeded pairing and, volleying spectacularly, upset Wimbledon Champions Althea Gibson of New York and Maria Bueno of Brazil, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 to win the U.S. Doubles championships at Brookline, Mass.

P: Travis Kerr's top-weighted (130 Ibs.), four-year-old Round Table made his move at the far turn, and Willie Shoemaker brought him home the winner by a comfortable 2 1/2 lengths in the $85,200 Arlington Handicap in Illinois. First money of $54,100 gave Round Table career earnings of $1,215,114, just $73,451 behind the retired Nashua, alltime earnings champion.
