Who Won
> Speedy Scot: the 38th Hambletonian for three-year-old trotters in a world's record combined time of 5:54 for three heats around the mile track; in simmery, 90DEG sunshine at the Du Quoin, Ill., State Fair Grounds. Despite his speed, the colt lost the first race by a head to Florlis, who set a one-heat record of 1:57 3/5.
> Bryan Price: the International 5-0-5 Class world sailing championship; in a stiff breeze off Larchmont, N.Y. Australian Price handled his 16-ft. centerboard Sundowner as though it was wearing a motor, blew U.S. Air Force Lieut. Henry Schefter into second place, and whipped 52 other contestants from eight countries.
> Sandy Koufax: his 20th game for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the first major league pitcher of the season to amass a score of wins; against the San Francisco Giants, 11-1, in the first game of a pivotal late season series; in Los Angeles.
> Arnold Palmer: $4,600 as second-place money in the American Golf Classic, enough to make him the first golfer in history to win more than a hundred grand in one year and to push his nine-year total to $446,333. The top ten for 1963 as of last week:
