Scoreboard

P: At Doncaster, England, Kentucky-bred Never Say Die romped to a twelve-length victory in the 178th renewal of the St. Leger Stakes and ran off with $37,721 for his American owner, 78-year-old Financier Robert Sterling Clark. Blinking happily through tears, Clark hugged his three-year-old chestnut colt, first American-bred and American-owned horse since 1881 to win both the Epsom Derby (TIME, June 14) and the St. Leger.

P: At New Orleans, Gene Walet III, 19, and improving with age, calmly sailed his 19-foot Lightning sloop to two firsts and three seconds in eight races, defeated Long Island's William S. Cox, 50 1/2 to 45 1/2, to take the Mallory Cup and the North American Sailing championship for the second year running (TIME, Oct. 5).

P: At Philadelphia, robust Robin Roberts, 27, pitched the feeble Phillies to an nth-inning 5-4 victory over the New York Giants, winning his 20th game of the year, became the first National Leaguer to turn the trick for five consecutive seasons since the Giants' Carl Hubbell, the "Old Meal Ticket" of the '30s.
