> Australia's Ron Clarke, 28: the 5,000-meter run in 13 min. 25.8 sec., clipping 7.8 sec. off his own world mark and breaking the three-mile record along the way; at the Compton Invitational track meet in Los Angeles. Clarke stole the limelight from New Zealand's Peter Snell, 26, the world record holder in the mile, who had to run a 55.1-sec. final quarter to edge Oregon's Jim Grelle with both men clocking a fast 3 min. 56.4 sec. The Aussie's great run made it four new world records in the space of seven days. The others: a 27-ft. 5-in. broad jump by current Record Holder (at 27 ft. 41 in.) Ralph Boston, 26, who topped 27 ft. on three of his six leaps; a 233-ft. 2-in. hammer throw by Harold Connolly, 33, stretching his own three-year-old record by 1 ft. 4 in.

> Hail to All: the $147,900 Belmont Stakes, last and longest (at H mi.) of the Triple Crown races for three-year-olds; at New York's Aqueduct track. Ridden by Johnny Sellers and third choice of the bettors at 5-2, Mrs. Ben Cohen's plucky colt, born with a slightly deformed rear leg, rallied from fourth place in the stretch to beat Preakness Winner Tom Rolfe by a narrow neck.

> Florida's Jimmy Wynne, 35: the Gateway Marathon, a 180-mile speedboat race from West Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island and back. Driving his latest creation, Maritime, a 32-ft. aluminum hull powered by two supercharged 400-h.p. Daytona engines, Miami Designer Wynne ripped through the churning Gulf Stream at speeds up to 60 m.p.h., crossed the finish line in 3 hr. 41 min. 10 sec. to beat Don Aronow's G08—a deep-V Donzi whose fiberglass hull Wynne also helped design.
