Sport: Scoreboard, Jul. 21, 1958

¶ Roaring into a curve in Rheims's Grand Prix de France, Italy's Luigi Musso was a mere 100 yds. behind Britain's Mike Hawthorn. Musso gunned his Ferrari, hit the curve at 140 m.p.h., catapulted off the triangular course into a wheatfield, died. He was the last of Italy's great three. Alberto Ascari was killed in 1955; Eugenio Castellotti, Musso's closest friend and rival, in 1957.

¶ A track unknown, wiry (5 ft. 5½ in., 124 Ibs.) Australian Bert Thomas, 23, kept a scorching pace for the three-mile run at Dublin's Santry cinder track, streaked to the finish with a new world record (13 min. 10.8 sec.), bettering Sandor Iharos' 1955 record by 3.4 sec.

¶Proving that baseball is not played by the book, Manager Casey Stengel called on Oriole Hurler Billy O'Dell to save the American League's 4-3 lead in the All-Star game. O'Dell, who has an 8-9 record and has never had a winning season since coming to the majors in 1954, got rid of nine men on 27 throws. Bubbled Casey: "He had a fast ball, a slider and a mysterious pitch up from Mexico."
