Scoreboard

P: Navigating with just the kind of seamanlike skill his grey-hulled, centerboard yawl Finisterre deserved, Skipper Carleton Mitchell logged a corrected time of 28 hr. 14 min. 39 sec. to win the 184-mile sail from Miami to Nassau, B.W.I. Victor in 25 of the 40 races he has entered, Skipper Mitchell decided to ease off the wind, announced that after one more effort he will refrain from racing for a while.

P: Waspish Ted Williams, 38, the Boston Red Sox slugging outfield spitter, happily signed up for his 16th season in the big leagues, had no reason to be disappointed with a salary at least as good as last year's: a reported $100,000. "But I will be disappointed if I don't drive in 100 runs, hit 20 or 30 homers and hit .330 or .340. As you get older, you start realizing there isn't a whole lot of things you know better than baseball."

P: Rattled by the riding he was taking from an Aussie crowd in Adelaide, Pro Tennis Champion Pancho Gonzalez not only lost a match to Ken Rosewall (4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 9-7, 6-1), but lost his head as well. In the fourth set Pancho blew up, heaved his racket at the umpire, broke a microphone and sent spectators skittering as the racket bounced into the stands. Still unstrung a few days later, Pancho was beaten again by Rosewall for third money in a pro tournament. Tournament winner: Pancho Segura over Frank Sedgman, 7-5, 6-0, 6-4.

P: Late-lingering worries that the blood clot that almost killed Summer Tan as a two-year-old might have had lasting effects were lost when Mrs. John Galbreath's great bay horse galloped down the stretch at Hialeah to put away Calumet Farms's Bardstown by three lengths and win the $60,900 McLennan Handicap.
