Who Won

P: At Pebble Beach, Calif., in the 47th U.S. Amateur Golf Championship, all the cheers were for 44-year-old Underdog Johnny Dawson. He had been politely invited not to play in the same tourney 18 years ago because he worked for a sporting-goods firm. By going into the real-estate business, Johnny had in recent years regained his amateur status. In the 36-hole final, the crowd backed him, groaned when Robert ("Skee") Riegel, 32, made a brilliant shot. Riegel won 2 and 1. The new king of amateur golfers is a broad-shouldered ex-football fullback at West Point who says he lives in Monterey Park, Calif, but actually lives out of a suitcase on the amateur golf circuit.

P: At Forest Hills, L.I., in the final of the National Singles Tennis Championship, the crowd favorite was Frank Parker, who usually annoys the gallery with his stony-faced skill and mechanical shots. He won the gallery's fancy by unexpectedly copping the first two sets from Champion Jake Kramer, whose play was incredibly sloppy. Then King Jake got down to business, and with a fine series of service aces, drop-shots and volleys managed to keep his crown, so that he can profitably quit it (he is about to turn pro). The score: 4-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-0, 6-3. When Kramer took a bow--unsmiling, grey-faced and relieved--he got a thin ripple of applause. When Parker bowed, the ovation lasted more than a minute. The new women's singles queen: blonde Louise Brough, who beat her pal Margaret Osborne 8-6, 4-6, 6-1. Then both of them had a good cry.
