P:Sticking to his habit of breaking world records nearly every time he sets foot on a track, Hungarian Army Lieut. Sandor Iharos, already holder of the two-mile and 3,000-meter marks, ran away from the field in a Hungary-Poland dual meet, hung up a new record for 5,000 meters (13:50.8).

P:After a slim season as a utility outfielder and pinch hitter for the Cleveland Indians, Ralph Kiner, 32, whose lifetime total of 367 big-league home runs makes him sixth-ranking slugger in baseball history (behind Ruth, 714; Foxx, 534; Ott, 511; Gehrig, 493; Williams, 393), decided to retire. "My physical condition keeps me from giving a decent performance any more," said Kiner, who celebrated one of his last games with the front-running Indians by smacking a homer against the Boston Red Sox.

P:At the helm of a Luder 16, a sloop he had never sailed before, Seattle's Bill Buchan Jr. won three out of eight races on the wind-chopped waters of Lake St. Clair, Mich., finished second twice, third once and fifth twice, to win the North American sailing championship and an ancient silver soup tureen known as the Clifford D. Mallory Trophy.
