Scoreboard: Who Won Jul. 17, 1964
>Brazil's Maria Bueno, 24: the women's All-England tennis championship, beating Australia's defending champion, Margaret Smith, in three sets, 6-4, 7-9, 6-3; at Wimbledon. Recovered at last from the hepatitis that kept her out of action for six months. School-teacher Bueno relied mostly on flat, efficient ground strokes to score her second major victory over the 21-year-old Aussie in less than a year (the other: the U.S. nationals at Forest Hills last summer). Said the weary winner: "Everybody said it would be difficult to come backand they were right."
>Houston's A. J. Foyt, 29: the Firecracker 400 stock-car race, averaging 151.4 m.p.h. in a 1964 Dodge to edge North Carolina's Bobby Isaac by less than the length of a car hood; at Daytona Beach, Fla. The U.S. Auto Club racing champion, winner of the 1964 Indianapolis 500, Foyt once again demonstrated his amazing versatility: alternating between sports cars, stock cars, sprint cars and big Offenhauser-powered Indy roadsters, Foyt has failed to win only two of the races he has entered this year.
