Scoreboard

P:At Birmingham, Mich., Walter Burkemo, home pro at the nearby Franklin Hills country club, defeated Felice Torza, another club pro from St. Charles, ILL., 2 and 1, for the Professional Golfers' Association title after all the more famed touring pros, e.g., Sam Snead, Gary Middlecoff and Claude Harmon, had been beaten in earlier . rounds. Notably missing from the entry list: Old Pro Ben Hogan, who was busy in Scotland (see above).

P: In St. Louis, the hapless baseball Browns set an unenviable major-league mark: 20 losses in a row in their home park, breaking the record set by the Boston Red Sox in 1906. Said Browns Owner Bill Veeck, who has been trying to move the Browns' franchise out of St. Louis: "Frankly, I don't know whether the Browns are coming or going."

P: In Philadelphia, Righthander Robin Roberts was knocked out of the pitcher's box (by the Brooklyn Dodgers) for the first time since August 1952. Since that time, he had pitched 28 complete games, winning 21 of them.

P:In Brooklyn, Rookie Righthander Allan ("Red") Worthington of the New York Giants, just up from Minneapolis, shut out the Dodgers, 6-0, for his second shutout in two major-league starts. Worthington, incidentally, stopped Dodger home-run hitters who had hit at least one a game for 24 consecutive games.

P:In Manhattan, a 61-year-old walking enthusiast named David Power dipped his toes in upper New York Bay at the end of a 3,160-mile walk from Santa Monica, Calif. Walker Power averaged about 41 miles a day for 73 1/2 days, wore out five pairs of shoes, lost 15 Ibs.
