Scoreboard

P: The worst had come to pass: six surveyors, after 260 measurements, gravely announced that there was a 2-in. sag and assorted undulations on a wicket at hallowed Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The sober London Daily Telegraph splashed the unsettling news on Page One, easing Kuwait into the background, while the London Daily Express blared: BY GAD, SIR, IT'S FULL or BUMPS !

P: Adios Butler, world's fastest pacer (TIME, June 30), gave his victory-jaded fans something extra to cheer about in last week's one-mile Dan Patch Pace at Long Island's Roosevelt Raceway. The Butler breezed home 3 1/2 lengths in front on the half-mile track, tied Bye Bye Byrd's 1959 world record of 1:57 4/5.

P: After a nearly disastrous second round of 80, blonde golf pro Mickey Wright, 26, fired rounds of 69 and 72 at Baltusrol in Springfield, N.J., ran up a five-over-par 293, won her third woman's national open title in four years.
