Sport: Scoreboard, Aug. 11, 1958

¶ Calumet Farm's Gen. Duke, winner of $139,385 as a three-year-old in 1957 and co-favorite (with Bold Ruler) in last year's Kentucky Derby until scratched on race day, was destroyed in Lexington, Ky. Veterinarians found he was suffering from wobbles, an incurable spinal disease.

¶ In London, slim Molly Hiscox, a 21 -year-old clerk, entered the 440-yd. run as a last-minute reserve to fill out the field in a Britain v. Commonwealth meet, promptly got off in front, won by 12 yds. in 55.6 for a new world record.

¶ Philadelphia's Robin Roberts, 31, gave up the inevitable homerun ball but was in top form otherwise, set the Cubs down on three hits to win 3-1, became the 59th major-leaguer to win 200 games (others still active: the Braves' Warren Spahn, the White Sox's Early Wynn), turned his thoughts hopefully to 300 victories: "If I can keep on pitching the way I have, I might make it."

¶Touring U.S. track-and-field athletes, operating under the separate scoring system for men and women denied them in Moscow, ran into unexpectedly stiff competition from Poland. The U.S. men won 115-97 but the women lost 54-52. The U.S.'s Glenn Davis scored a double victory in the 400-meter run and 400-meter hurdles, but 100,000 fans in Warsaw cheered loudest for their own Jerzy Chromik, winner of the 3,000-meter steeplechase in a world-record 8:32.
