Who Won
P: Jersey Joe Walcott, his first defense of his heavyweight boxing title; in Philadelphia. The flatfooted old pappy guy, 38, in a weary waltz, outboxed Ezzard Charles, 30, a onetime titleholder and clearly the most reluctant challenger in heavyweight history.
P: One Count, Eddie Arcaro up, the $118,500 Belmont Stakes; in New York. Rated well by heady Eddie, longshot (13-1) One Count upset favored (1-2) Blue Man by 2 1/2 lengths in 2:30.2, two full seconds off the stake record first set by One Count's sire, Count Fleet.
P: A British women's golf team, the Curtis Cup; in Muirfield, Scotland. After 20 years of frustration, during which it gained the satisfaction of only one tie, Britain finally won the coveted cup, 5-4, over U.S. women golfers.
