Scoreboard

P: In Cannes, the rich Aga Khan got richer by selling his unbeaten Tulyar, winner of the Epsom Derby, the St. Leger and five other British stakes races, to the government-sponsored Irish National Stud for $700,000. The news instantly 1) gratified Irish horse breeders, 2) roused Laborite opponents of Premier Eamon de Valera to demand a parliamentary debate on the purchase, "in view of the already heavy burden on the taxpayers."

P: In Philadelphia, Pitcher Bobby Shantz, 27, the American League's most valuable player of 1952 (won 24, lost 7), signed a two-year contract calling for over $25,000 a year, highest ever paid to an Athletics pitcher. In Cleveland a day later, fading Fireballer Bob Feller, not so valuable (9-13), signed a one-year contract for a reported $40,000.

P: In Melbourne, Miler John Landy broke the Australian two-mile record by seven seconds with a clocking of 9:01.2 (world record: 8:40.4). Three days later, tired and bucking a headwind, he ran such a disappointing mile (4:11) that he announced he would make no more tries for a four-minute mile this season.

P: In Boston, Carl ("Bobo") Olson, the U.S.'s top-ranking middleweight boxer now that Sugar Ray Robinson has retired, scored his eighth straight victory (and 51st in 56 bouts) over Norman Hayes with a unanimous ten-round decision. Hopeful next on Olson's agenda: a bout with Britain's Randy Turpin, who took the title from Robinson, then lost it again.

P: At Hanover, N. H., the Dartmouth ski team, paced by Sophomore Ralph Miller (first in jumping and cross-country, fourth in downhill, seventh in slalom), won its own famed Winter Carnival for the 19th time in 43 outings.
