Sport: Scoreboard, Aug. 30, 1954

¶ In San Francisco’s Cow Palace, Honolulu-born Carl (“Bobo”) Olson weighed in a half-pound over the 160-lb. limit before defending his middleweight championship against Rocky Castellani, took an hour to sweat himself down to size, then chased Castellani around the ring for 15 uninspired rounds and kept his title.

¶ At Chicago’s Washington Park, Joseph Gavegnano’s rangy bay colt Errard King raced to a three-length lead in the final furlong of the $115,250 American Derby, finished strong to hold off the fast closing favorite, High Gun.

¶ At London, Ont., North Carolina Auto Salesman Harvie Ward Jr., 29, made up for a day of poor putting with consistent and spectacular iron shots, beat his American Walker Cup teammate. Bill Campbell, 5 and 4, for the Canadian Amateur Golf Championship.
