Who Won

P: Japan's Shigeki Tanaka, a 19-year-old Hiroshima schoolboy and survivor of the first atomic bombing, the 26-mile Patriot's Day marathon; in Boston. Tanaka's time: 2:27.45--2.06 over the record set by Korea's Yun Bok Suh in 1947. The South Koreans, who finished 1-2-3 last year, did not ask to compete this year; officials announced that they would not have been allowed to run anyway, because Koreans should be busy fighting the war.

P: The Toronto Maple Leafs, over the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, to take the best-of-seven series (4-1) for hockey's Stanley Cup; in Toronto.

P: Illinois' Don Laz, a bar-brushing vault of 15 ft. 1 3/4; in., for a collegiate outdoor pole vault record; in Los Angeles. Earlier in the day, Nebraska's Don Cooper set the record (and became the fourth man ever to clear 15 ft.) at 15 ft. 1/8 in.; in Lawrence, Kans.

P: Hobart Manley, over Billy Joe Patton, one up, with an explosive finish of five straight threes (an eagle, two birdies, two pars) for the North and South amateur golf championship; in Pinehurst N.C.
