Scoreboard

P: Back in New York's Yankee Stadium for an Oldtimers Day reunion of former Yankees and Detroit Tigers, Joe DiMaggio at 42 still looked good enough to make the league, cracked out a single in a brief exhibition "game" of the ancient pros, later trotted the winning run across home plate with oldtime grace.

P: Galloping into the homestretch, Jockey Doug Dodson urged four-year-old Manassas into the lead, held off the final drive of Swoon's Son and flashed across the finish line the 6 1/2-to-1 winner of last week's $125,400 Arlington Handicap on the grass at Arlington Park outside Chicago.

P: After twelve-year-old Carol Francis won two races at London's St. James Ladies' Swimming Club, Proud Papa Fred Francis gave her a pound note ($2.80). Promptly, Club Secretary Florence Fuller ruled the gift made Carol a pro, last week barred her from the pool, primly wrote home that gifts of clothes and candy might further harm Carol's standing. Cried the father: "It's farcical--I've been giving Carol food and clothes for twelve years!" But after a chat with Regional Swimming Official Harry Gibbons, Rigid-Ruler Florence relented, ruled that Carol was still an amateur after all.
