Sport: Scoreboard, may 9, 1955
¶ After leading all the way on the dead, calm waters of the Severn, Navy's varsity crew was still able to take the stroke up to a backbreaking 40 per minute to hold off Cornell's closing sprint, cross the finish line 6 ft. in front and win its 31st straight race. (Last defeat: in the I.R.A. Regatta, June 1951.)
¶ An odds-on favorite to win his eleventh race in a row, Paul Andolino's disheveled little sprinter, Boston Doge, just could not get going on Belmont's damp track, finished a bad third behind Nance's Lad and Informant in the Swift Stakes.
¶ Slow and clumsy, and just about the only man in the house who did not know he was through as a fighter, former Heavyweight Champion Ezzard Charles stumbled around the ring in Miami for nine rounds before he finally dropped under the awkward flailing of a third-rate pug named John Holman.
¶ Unbeaten so far this season, the Cleveland Indians' ace righthander, Bob Lemon, finished his fourth complete game and won his fifth victory as he beat Baltimore 5-2. The Indians' other pitchers combined have won only four games.
