Scoreboard

P: Heavy fog and a flat calm fouled racing schedules most of the week as the first series of America's Cup trials for twelve-meter yachts ended off Newport, R.I. What racing there was clearly established the early-form supremacy of Columbia, skippered by Briggs Cunningham. John Matthews' ancient Vim performed well with good crew work, handily beating Weatherly and Chandler Hovey's Easterner, both of which were plagued by rigging breakdowns and boners attributable to inexperienced crews.

P: Carrying crushing top weight of 134 Ibs. and giving away up to 32 Ibs., Bold Ruler breezed to an easy victory over a lackluster field in Monmouth Park's $110,650 Monmouth Handicap.

P: Lanky Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla., golf's perennial bridesmaid (17 runner-up finishes in 31 months), posted a brilliant four-under-par 31 on the outgoing nine the final day, caught famed, faltering Sam Snead and coasted home a two-stroke winner with a 72-hole total of 276, four under par, to take the $5,500 first prize in the 40th Professional Golfers' Association championship at Havertown, Pa.

P: Lean Detroit Righthander Jim Bunning, chomping impassively on a wad of gum, hit a batter and walked two, but struck out twelve others, got Red Sox Slugger Ted Williams on a routine outfield fly for the last out to wrap up a 3-0 victory at Boston's Fenway Park, become the first major leaguer to pitch a no-hit game in 1958.
