Scoreboard
P: For the first time since 1920, the Harmsworth Cup, symbol of world supremacy in powerboat racing, left the U.S. as Canada's Miss Supertest Ill, owned by Jim (Supertest gasoline) Thompson of London, Ont, defeated Maverick, owned by Phoenix Millionaire (oil, cattle) Bill Waggoner. In winning the cup, Miss Supertest set a new course record of 104.098 m.p.h.
P: Rearing back and firing like a major leaguer, 13-year-old Art Deras (5 ft. 8 in., 136 Ibs.) struck out 14 to lead his team from Hamtramck, Mich, to a 12-0 rout of Auburn, Calif., and the Little League world championship at Williamsport, Pa.
P: Drilling bull's-eyes with methodic precision, the U.S. Army's Blue riflemen's team from Fort Benning, Ga. won 14 out of 24 matches, set a national record of 1.107 points out of a possible 1,200 with the M-1 service rifle at distances of 600, 500, 300 and 200 yds., routed Marine, Navy and civilian teams to capture the Infantry Trophy at Camp Perry, Ohio.
P: Power-swinging Barbara Mclntire, 24, real-estate agent from Lake Park, Fla., trounced Joanne Goodwin, 23, of Haverhill, Mass., four-and-three, to win the U.S. women's amateur golf championship at Washington's sun-baked Congressional Country Club.
