Scoreboard

P: In Le Mans, France, a sturdy Italian Ferrari sports car, driven by Argentina's Jose Froilan Gonzalez and France's Maurice Trintignant, clocked an impressive 2,523.4 miles in the grinding, 24-hour Le Mans Grand Prix Endurance Race to finish a slim 2.4 miles ahead of last year's winners, Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton in their English Jaguar. In third place, with a total of 2,355 miles: an American Cunningham Special driven by Sherwood Johnston and William Spear. In fifth: Briggs Cunningham himself in another Cunningham Special.

P: At Wimbledon, England, the U.S.

Wight man Cup team of Maureen Connolly, Louise Brough and Doris Hart played lackluster tennis against a team of British youngsters, slipped and skidded over rain-drenched courts, but won all its matches and took home the tall silver trophy for the 18th consecutive year.

P: In Milwaukee, Big Jim Wilson, the Braves' veteran (32) righthander who was almost counted out of baseball after being hit on the head by a line drive nine years ago, shut out Philadelphia, 2-0, in the first no-hit big-league ball game of the year.

P: In Belgrade's Tashmajdan Stadium, in a tournament that was tougher on the officials than on the players, Russia's women's basketball team overpowered the Bulgarian women 65-46, won the European championship for the fourth year in a row. The referees called 63 fouls, ducked a hail of gravel chucked by indignant spectators, and were seriously disconcerted by the buxom Russians, who wore no brassieres under their uniforms.
