Who Won

> New Zealand's Peter Snell: the invitational 880 at the Southern Pacific Association A.A.U. Championships in Los Angeles, in the good, but not great, time of 1 min. 48 sec. Fresh from his flashy 3-min.-54.9-sec.-mile victory over Jim Beatty at Modesto, Calif. (TIME, May 31), the brawny world record-holder at both 880 yds. (1 min. 45.1 sec.) and one mile (3 min. 54.4 sec.) easily outclassed six opponents. In the same meet, Beatty won the mile, breezing in at 4 min. 00.8 sec. > France's Relko: the 184th English Derby, by six lengths and at 5-1 odds over what British horsemen called the worst field in years (11 of the 26 horses had never won a race). Owned by Paris Hotelman Francois Dupre and a stablemate of Match II, which won last year's $125,000 Washington, D.C., International, Relko picked up $98,950 for his afternoon's outing at Epsom. > Britain's Graham Hill: the 195-mile Grand Prix of Monaco, deftly guiding his B.R.M. around the twisting, hilly course at a record average speed of 72.4 m.p.h. The 1962 world racing Champion, Hill was trailing the Lotus of Scotland's Jimmy Clark by 25 sec. on the 79th lap when Clark was forced out with a jammed gearbox. The victory was worth nine points toward Hill's second straight Grand Prix title. > Brazil's basketball team: the world championship, for the second time in a row, with an 85-81 victory over the U.S. in the final game of the seven-nation round-robin tournament. Playing before a wildly partisan crowd of 22,000 in Rio de Janeiro, the undefeated (6-0) Brazilians broke a 39-39 tie at the start of the second half, had no trouble staying in front when six U.S. players fouled out. Yugoslavia upset the Soviet Union 69-67, to take second place. The thrice-beaten Americans wound up fourth.

> California's Tony Lema: the $50,000 Memphis Open, by one stroke over Tommy Aaron in a sudden-death playoff. Married to an airline stewardess just one month, "Champagne Tony" shot a 10-under-par 270 to tie Aaron for the lead after 72 holes, won the tournament with a scrambling par 4 on the first extra hole, and lived up to his nickname by serving champagne in the pressroom afterward. Lema's $9,000 victory swelled his 1963 winnings to $44,296, second only to Jack Nicklaus ($57,615), who finished eleventh at Memphis, eight strokes back.
