Scoreboard

P: In a $1,000,000 baseball swap, the New York Yankees talked the Baltimore Orioles out of seven players, including "Bullet" Bob Turley, one of the best pitchers in the American League. In exchange, the second-division Orioles picked up aging Outfielder Gene Woodling, weak-hitting Infielder Willie Miranda and seven other men.

P: In San Francisco's Cow Palace, Jimmy Carter, a workmanlike lightweight when he feels like fighting, spent 14 rounds belting Champion Paddy DeMarco before he beat him to the canvas for good in the 15th and regained the title that he lost last spring (TIME, March 15).

P: In Sydney, Australia, Tony Trabert and Ham Richardson, the two top-seeded Americans in the New South Wales tennis championship, put on a miserable performance and were knocked out in early rounds. Winner in the all-Australian final: Rex Hartwig over left-hander Mervyn Rose, 6-3, 6-4, 8-6.

P: In Paris, Ky., on the day the Gallant Fox Memorial Handicap was being run at Jamaica, Belair Stud's great bay stallion Gallant Fox died at the age of 27. One of the few thoroughbreds ever to win racing's Triple Crown (The Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes in 1930), the Fox of Belair also was the first such winner to sire another; his son, Omaha, turned the trick in 1935.
