Scoreboard
P:After an easy victory in the 1,000-yd. run, Irishman Ron Delany of Villanova doggedly came from behind with a crowd-rousing sprint to win the exhausting two-mile event in the record time of 9:06.6, thereby became I.C-4-A's first such double winner. Olympic Champ Delany, the world's top miler, passed up his specialty to chase the extra points that came with two victories and cinched the team title for Villanova.
P:Coaxed on by the cunning hands of Jockey Eddie Arcaro, Bold Ruler of the Wheatley. Stables barely outnosed Calumet Farms' Gen. Duke to take the $131,400 Flamingo Stakes at Miami's Hialeah. Across the continent at California's Santa Anita Park, Jockey Johnny Longden, 47, who has won more races than any other rider past or present, booted home his 5,000th winner, genially shrugged off questions about retirement: "I don't see why I can't go on for 6,000."
P:Hit by a coronary attack in spring training, Giant Catcher Bill Sarni, 29, was ordered by his doctors never again to play baseball, later was signed on as a coach for the coming season so that he might qualify for a limited pension.
