Scoreboard

P: In Manhattan, Heavyweight Contender Tommy ("Hurricane") Jackson swirled into the center of the ring and ran head on into a squall of right hooks thrown by Cuban Heavyweight Champion Nino Valdes. Knocked down twice in the second round and floored a third time by some catch-as-catch-can wrestling, Hurricane lost by a TKO.

P: In Cincinnati, the visiting Philadelphia Phils fired Manager Steve O'Neill and called up Terry Moore (42). A gentleman ballplayer who remembered his manners through 11 seasons as a centerfielder with the terrible-tempered Cardinals of the old Gas House Gang, Moore inherits a fifth-place club, drifting a sad 15 1/2 games back.

P: At Silverstone, England, Argentina's Froilan Gonzales pushed his Italian Ferrari into an early lead, raced for 270 miles around a twisting, rain-soaked course to win the British Grand Prix with an average speed of 89.69 m.p.h. In second place in another Ferrari was England's Mike Hawthrone, who clocked 89.10 m.p.h. In fourth place in a Mercedes-Benz came Argentine Star Juan Manuel Fangio, leading driver of the year, Gonzales' onetime mentor and now his archrival.

P: In Cleveland, in the 21st annual All-Star baseball game, American League sluggers overpowered the National League's best, 11-9. Paced by Indian Al Rosen's two homers (which drove in five runs) the American League finally won for Manager Casey Stengel (on the fifth try), helped set a pack of All-Star records in the process. Among them: a total of 31 hits, 20 runs, 13 pitchers used, gate receipts of $259,204.01.
