Scoreboard

P:Despite Manager Eddie ("The Brat") Stanky's earnest efforts to mind his manners, his hard-hitting, pitcher-poor St. Louis Cardinals have been limping along in sixth place. It was all too mild and mellow for Cardinal President August Anheuser Busch Jr. Last week he fired Stanky, gave his job to Harry ("The Hat") Walker, onetime National League batting champion (in 1947 with .363), who has spent the past three seasons managing the Cardinals' Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League.

P:Still airsick from his flight to England, Laszlo Tabori, 24, ex-private in the Hungarian army, became the third man in history to crack the four-minute mile. On the rain-softened track at London's White City Stadium, Tabori turned on the steam in the last 300 yards and finished in 3:59. Just .8 second behind, fast enough to get under the four-minute barrier, pounded Britain's Three-Mile Champion Chris Chataway in a virtual dead heat with Half-Mile Champion Brian Hewson.

P:His heart-stopping habit of running no faster than he has to sent Belair Stud's homebred bay colt Nashua home in the 79th running of the Preakness at Pimlico, Md., winner by a length over Saratoga.
