Scoreboard: Who Won Sep. 17, 1965

>Johnny Keane: his second one-year contract (for 1966) as manager of the American League’s New York Yankees, at an estimated salary of $50,000. Keane was hired by the Yankees to replace Yogi Berra, who won the 1964 pennant but was fired after he lost the World Series to Keane’s St. Louis Cardinals. Now Keane has led the once-proud Yankees to their worst showing in 30 years. When he signed last week the Yankees were firmly ensconced in sixth place, 20½ games behind the Minnesota Twins.

> Savannah Jr.: the $419,460 All-American Futurity for quarter horses, richest horse race in the world; at Ruidoso Downs, N. Mex. A 12-1 long shot, Savannah Jr. sped 400 yds. “through the mud in 20.3 sec. to score an easy 21-length victory, earn $192,730 —or roughly $10,000 per sec.

>South Carolina’s Ned Jarrett: the accident-plagued Southern 500 stockcar race, averaging 115.8 m.p.h. in his 1965 Ford despite an overheated engine; at Darlington, S.C. Breakdowns eliminated all the other big-name competitors, and Jarrett coasted home eleven laps ahead of his closest pursuer.

> Hungary’s Gyula Zsivotsky: a new world hammer-throw record, hurling the 16-lb. weight 241 ft. 11 in. to top Harold Connally’s three-month-old mark by more than 8 ft.; at a meet in Debrecen, Hungary. Unprepared for such a contingency, meet officials spent a frantic hour searching for a 100-meter measuring tape—required for gauging record throws. They finally borrowed one from the local water board.

> California’s Ed Weiner: the $10,000 Transcontinental Trophy Dash for propeller-driven airplanes, piloting his P-51 Mustang from Clearwater, Fla., to Reno, Nev., in 6 hrs. 28 min. 37.9 sec. for an average of 373 m.p.h. Weiner covered the seams of his plane with tape to cut down wind resistance, stopped just once for fuel, landed at Reno with only 11 gal. of gas to spare.
