Sport: Scoreboard, Jun. 25, 1956

¶Kentucky Derby Winner Needles loafed along in last place for nearly a mile, then galloped full-out down the stretch to win the 88th running of the $119,650 Belmont Stakes last week and establish his claim as the nation's best three-year-old.

¶After his Milwaukee Braves had slipped from first place in the National League to fifth in 13 days, jolly, banjo-strumming Charlie Grimm last week sadly submitted his resignation as manager, was replaced by Coach Fred Haney, who led the lackluster, last-place Pirates of 1953-55. ¶On Lake Onondaga at Syracuse, N.Y., Cornell's brilliant eight-man crew easily won the 54th Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta, began to point for the Olympic tryouts on June 28 and the veteran Navy crew (now the Admirals) that won the Olympics in 1952. Meanwhile, Yale, another Olympic threat, rowed merrily down the Thames at New London, Conn, to defeat ancient rival Harvard for the 54th time in 104 meetings. ¶In the season's biggest trade, the seventh-place New York Giants swapped four players even with the St. Louis Cardinals, got a lift when Red Schoendienst, their new second baseman, hit a homer while Shortstop Al Dark and First Baseman Whitey Lockman were spoiling their debuts as Cards by making three errors.
