Scoreboard

P: Driving the same four-cylinder bomb that carried him home third in the Indianapolis 500, Arizona Auto Racer Jimmy Bryan had time to chew up only three cigars while he wheeled around the steeply banked track at Monza, Italy, and won Europe's first Indianapolis-style competition, with an average speed of 160.057 m.p.h. Indianapolis Veterans Troy Ruttman and Johnny Parsons finished second and third. The only non-Indianapolis-type cars to compete were British Jaguars, and three of them, entered by the same Scots team that swept the 24-hour Grand Prix at Le Mans, France, came in behind Parsons. So fast was the new Italian track that even the slowest car to finish shattered Sam Hanks's Indianapolis record of 135.601 m.p.h.

P:Everyone had tournament jitters and they cost San Francisco's Hawaiian-born housewife, Jacqueline Pung, the U.S.G.A. Women's Open at Mamaroneck, N.Y. When she posted a last-round 72 for an overall score of 298, she seemed to have the title won. Although 72 was her true score on the round, she had a five on her scorecard for the fourth hole, where she had actually shot a six. When the error was discovered she was disqualified. The new women's open champion: South Carolina's Betsy Rawls, who had the second best 72-hole total of 299. P:Turning the biennial Newport-Annapolis race around and sailing northward made some refreshing changes in the East Coast yachting classic: more boats than ever before (48) beat down Chesapeake Bay from the starting line; they swung north toward -Newport, and 32 of them broke the elapsed-time record for the 468-mile course. Winner on corrected time: the 41-ft. sloop Harrier, owned by Jay Bontecou and W. Reese Harris, skippered by her former owner, C. Raymond Hunt.
