Scoreboard

P: The more he thought about the Kentucky Derby, the more Veteran Jockey Eddie Arcaro was embarrassed by the memory of Calumet's Iron Liege finishing so far in front of him. "It was my fault," decided Eddie. "I shouldn't have held Bold Ruler back; I shouldn't have run his race for him." So when Wheatley Stable's dark bay colt went to the post at Pimlico for the 81st running of the Preakness, Eddie went along just for the ride. He let Bold Ruler break for the lead, thought nothing of scrapping with sprint star Federal Hill all down the backstretch, worried only when his mount began to loaf after leading the pack past the turn for home. When Iron Liege made his move, Eddie took to the whip, and Bold Ruler went back to work. He was still pulling away when he won by two lengths. Behind him, outclassed Iron Liege had all he could do to keep a neck in front of outsider Inside Tract. Said modest Eddie: "It was better today. He ran the way he wanted to."

P: The Big Red crew from Cornell stuck with Yale's Olympic champions all the way down the Olympic course (2,000 me ters) on Princeton's choppy Carnegie Lake. But Yale's two feet of lead seemed too much for the Big Red to erase. Then, ten strokes from the finish, Cornell's all-senior eight found strength for a final spurt. Their shell slid across the line inches in front to win the heavyweight sprint championships of the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges.

P: A total of 16 racing cars scrambled into the start of the 105-lap, 205-mile Grand Prix of Monaco. Only four laps later Britain's Stirling Moss, Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn somehow escaped uninjured from a three-car pile-up on a barricade of telephone poles. All afternoon the accidents continued, but no one was hurt. Only five cars finished. Still, World Champion Juan Fangio had to push his Maserati to the limit to cross the line in 3 hr. 10 min. 12.8 sec., a scant half-minute ahead of Briton Tony Brooks's Vanwall.
