...hole final. Martin's 72-hole total of 292, two strokes better than that of Atlantans Calvin Searles and Zeke Hartsfield, won the tournament and the $500 first prize. Lowest amateur score was 300, turned in by a 19-year-old Norfolk kid named Leroy Smith...
Last week Brother Kiyoshi chalked up another double: the 800-meter and 1,500-meter championships (all events have been changed to metric distances this year). But this year he had more than his kid brother to contend with.

In his match with Riggs he was a slugger against a boxer. Schroeder seemed to be still tired from his match the day before with Wayne Sabin, the man who beat Parker...
Last fall Zivic fought young Davis in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. Zivic gave the kid the business. Davis, stung by an alleged thumb-poke in the eye, forgot his professional acquaintanceship with the Marquess of Queensberry, relapsed into a fury of fouls. Disqualified and suspended "for life" (after kicking the referee), the Brownsville bully boy sullenly joined the Army...
