Scoreboard

P:Over a sloppy track at Belmont Park, Belair Stud's Nashua scored his tenth victory in twelve 1955 starts to win the $79,950 Jockey Club Gold Cup. The purse boosted Nashua's earnings for this year to $752,550, surpassing the old record for single-season earnings ($709,470) set by Citation in 1948. Three-year-old Nashua's lifetime winnings now total $945,415, second to Citation's record of $1,085,760.

P:Fred Hutchinson, 36, who resigned last year as manager of the Detroit Tigers when the club refused him a two-year contract, got what he wanted from the St. Louis Cardinals: a $30,000-a-year contract to manage the Cards for the next two seasons.

P:On her 4th self-propelled crossing of the English Channel, Marathon Swimmer Florence Chadwick, 36, of San Diego, set a new speed record, splashing ashore in France 13 hr., 55 min. after leaving England. Her time was eleven minutes faster than the record set in August by English Swimmer Bill Pickering.

P:Rhubarb sprouted again over the umpire's decision in the 1955 World Series opener when Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson was called safe on a steal of home. Infielder Frank Kellert, who was at bat for the Dodgers at the time and in the best position to see the play, belatedly declared that Yankee Catcher Yogi Berra had tagged Robinson out. Kellert's delayed announcement was made after the Dodgers traded him to the Chicago Cubs.
