Sport: Scoreboard: Jun. 23, 1961

¶Seeking a fast return on their $125,000 investment, the Kansas City Athletics sent Bonus Baby Lew Krausse Jr., 18, to pitch against the Los Angeles Angels only one week after they signed him, decided their money had been well spent when he won a three-hit shutout, 4-0.

¶After eliminating defending champ Joe Carr and U.S. Airman Ralph Morrow in the British Amateur Golf Championship, grizzled Scot Jimmy Walker, 40, ran out of steam, lost to husky British Walker Cupper Michael Bonallack, 26, 6 and 4.

¶ Southern California’s track and field team ran away with the N.C.A.A. championships in Philadelphia, scored 65 points to Oregon’s 47, Villanova’s 40. Some outstanding performers: Oregon’s Dyrol Burleson with a 4:00.5 mile; Villanova’s Frank Budd who ran the 100 in 9.4 sec., then took the 220 in 20.8 sec.; University of New Mexico Sophomore Adolph Plummer, who ran the 440 in 46.2 sec. and won a photo finish from Abilene Christian’s favored Earl Young.

¶Leading almost all the way, California’s varsity crew stroked home half a length in front of Cornell at Onondaga Lake, New York, for its second straight Intercollegiate Rowing Association title. At New London, Conn., Harvard’s varsity swept to an impressive seven-length victory over Yale in the traditional four-mile race down the Thames River.
