Scoreboard

P: Chicago White Sox Coach Ray Berres was disgusted: Starter Bob Keegan refused to relax between pitches, even during pregame warmup. Coach Berres was afraid visiting Washington Senator batters would pick up the rapid rhythm and tee off on the aging (36) righthander. But Keegan was afraid that if he slowed down he would lose his balance and fall off the mound on his follow through. So they worked out a compromise: Keegan concentrated on slowing down just a little. It was enough. He beat the Senators 6-0, threw only 85 pitches, walked only two men and finished the first no-hit, no-run game of the 1957 season. P: Although she wasted 40 valuable minutes of swimming time searching for her pilot boat in the chilling waters of the English Channel, Danish-born Greta Anderson Sonnichsen, 30, now a California housewife, showed more speed and stamina than any of the other 23 men and women entered in the international mass swim from France to England. She made it from Cape Gris-Nez to the cliffs of Dover in 13 hr. 53 min. More than two hours later, Britain's Kenneth Wray staggered ashore. No other swimmer even finished.

P: In a souped-up, specially streamlined MG that curved around his short frame like a futuristic coffin, Britain's Stirling Moss whipped over the rain-dampened Bonneville Salt Flats in northern Utah to set a new record for class F (up to 1,500 cc.) cars in the flying mile: 245.11 m.p.h.
