Scoreboard
P:On the sidelines for only one day last July (during a game with the Pirates that was suspended before completion), Cardinal Stan Musial snapped his National League record of consecutive games played at 862. Benched once more after another month of steady play, Stan managed to boost his record to 895 by going in as a pinch runner in the playoff of the suspended game.
P:Gallup pollsters had sobering summer statistics: there are some 45 million Americans who cannot swim (about 31 million women).
P:When fire broke out in the King Ranch stable at Saratoga race track, 14 thoroughbreds were turned loose. But Here and There, a three-year-old filly that had come up from dead last to win the Alabama Stakes that same afternoon, bolted, crashed back into the barn, was burned to death.
P:Having won almost enough points for the title, Mrs. Robert E. Pegel's Chicago Yacht Club crew sailed the final five-mile course on Galveston Bay in conservative style, settled for third place, a total of 54 1/8 points and the North American women's sailing championship.
