Scoreboard

P:In a pier-six brawl in Syracuse, N.Y., Carmen Basilio. 28. sharp-featured son of a Canastota. N.Y.. onion farmer, spent twelve rounds trading punches with Welterweight Champion Tony De Marco before he battered the stubborn Bostonian senseless and stumbled off with the title.

P:Moving easily through the mist at Belmont Park. Belair Stud's big bay champion Nashua won as he pleased (by nine lengths, odds 3-20) in the 87th running of the mile-and-a-half Belmont Stakes. Meanwhile. 3,000 miles away at Hollywood Park, Swaps, the long-striding chestnut colt that beat Nashua in the Kentucky Derby, took on Determine, the 1954 Derby winner, and came home a length in front in the $109,800 Californian. Swaps's time: a world record 1:40-2/5 for the mile-and-a-sixteenth course.

P:For two miles of home water on New York's Cayuga Lake. Cornell's crew was able to match the Quakers from the University of Pennsylvania almost stroke for stroke; then Penn raised the beat to a man-killing 33 a minute. The Big Red faltered, and Penn's varsity eight slid home by more than a length, for its eighth victory in a row.

P:On the Isle of Man (between England and Ireland), the Tourist Trophy motorcycle races wound up without a single fatality. But this time, while the riders managed to survive, the devilish mountain course proved more than a match for the British bikes that have dominated the races since World War II. The Junior T.T. (for machines up to 350 cc.) went to an Italian Moto Guzzi; the Senior T.T. (for 500-cc. bikes) was won easily by British Motorcycle Champion Geoff Duke, mounted on a four-cylinder Italian Gilera. Duke's best time over a 37 1/4 mile lap: 99.97 m.p.h.
