Scoreboard

>> Ted Kroll, 43, who had not won a major tournament since 1956 (the year he was pro golf's top money-winner with $72,835), shot a ten-under-par 278 to win a two-stroke victory in the $30,000 Canadian Open. Kroll's victory was worth $4,300. U.S. Open Champion Jack Nicklaus (TIME cover, June 29) collected fifth-place money of $1,450, preserved his remarkable record of having finished in the money in every P.G.A. tournament.

>> Tuning up for the final trials to pick a defender for the America's Cup, the U.S. 12-meters took turns showing their sterns to one another in the New York Yacht Club's annual cruise. Six races were evenly divided, Nefertiti, Weatherly and Easterner each winning twice. Gretel, Sir Frank Packer's Australian challenger, suffered a minor but quickly repaired embarrassment when she snapped her boom on the first day out.

>> The Boston Red Sox' stocky Bill Mon-bouquette, who had not pitched a complete game since June 29, and was even dropped from the All-Star squad, allowed just one man to reach first base on a walk, pitched a masterful no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox. Score: Boston 1, Chicago 0. Monbouquette's no-hitter was the fourth in the major leagues this season.

>> Returning to the races for the first time since his stirring victory in the Belmont Stakes last June, George D. Widener's handsome, cantankerous dark bay colt Jaipur swept to an easy, 4 1/2-length victory in the $56,300 Choice Stakes at New Jersey's Monmouth Park, virtually clinched three-year-old Horse of the Year honors.

>> At first it looked like a bargain. In return for Veteran Halfback Bobby Mitchell and Rookie Leroy Jackson, the Cleveland Browns persuaded the Washington Redskins to part with Halfback Ernie Davis, two-year Syracuse All-America and the National Football League's No. 1 draft choice. But the deal went sour when Davis, the most highly-touted rookie to hit the league in years, was hospitalized with a blood disorder and doctors announced that he would be unable to play football in 1962.

>> Invited to the Japanese swimming championships at Osaka, a teen-age U.S. squad repaid its hosts by sweeping 21 of 29 events. Between them, U.S. and Japanese swimmers smashed 19 Japanese and two world records.
