Scoreboard
P:| At Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base, Road Racer Bill Spear, in a 4.5-liter Ferrari, won the President's Cup race at a roaring 81.85-m.p.h. average. Some 60,-ooo turned out for the biggest series of sports-car races (178 entries) ever held in the U.S. Winner Spear's reward: a two-foot silver bowl, presented to him in person by President Eisenhower. P:In St. Louis, the Cardinals' Rightfielder Stan ("The Man") Musial had himself quite a day at the plate in the course of a doubleheader with the New York Giants: five walloping home runs, a major-league record. P:The World Champion New York Yankees, currently stumbling around in the second division of the American League, got an Army reinforcement. Lieut. Bobby Brown, 29, a front-line medico for nine months with the 45th Infantry Division in Korea, announced he was available for Yankee third-base duty until July 1, when he expects to quit baseball for full-time doctoring in the San Francisco Hospital. EURJ In New York, Tommy ("Hurricane") Jackson, the two-fisted flailer who made a splash as a heavyweight recently (TIME, April 12), was finally stopped by a competent light-heavyweight named Jimmy Slade, who outboxed and outfoxed Jackson in a ten-round decision.
