...series of left and right bends-at more than 100 m.p.h., steering by shifting his weight from side to side. Flat out on the straights, he gunned up to 150 m.p.h. Hailwood sped six times around the twisting course and flashed across the finish line more than 2 min. ahead of his closest competitor. Astonished officials announced that he had broken the course record with an average speed of 104.6 m.p.h.-and that the first three finishers all had cracked...
...Zealand's Peter Snell: the invitational 880 at the Southern Pacific Association A.A.U. Championships in Los Angeles, in the good, but not great, time of 1 min. 48 sec. Fresh from his flashy 3-min.-54.9-sec.-mile victory over Jim Beatty at Modesto, Calif. (TIME, May 31), the brawny world record-holder at both 880 yds. (1 min. 45.1 sec.) and one mile (3 min. 54.4 sec.) easily outclassed six opponents. In the same meet, Beatty won the mile, breezing in at 4 min. 00.8 sec. > France's Relko: the 184th English Derby, by six lengths...

Besides Snell and Beatty, the eight-man field included three other sub-4-min. milers: California's Jim Grelle (3 min. 56.7 sec.), and Bobby Seaman (3 min. 58 sec.), Marine Lieut. Gary Weisiger (3 min. 58.1 sec.). Each had a plan for winning: beat Snell. "If we don't beat this guy on his honeymoon," said Weisiger, "we'll never...
...field was the same as if he had kicked them all squarely in the shins. Hrrrooommm! He flashed past Grelle and Weisiger and drew away-5 yds., then 10, then 15. At the finish line, coasting now, he was 20 yds. in front. Officials announced the time: 3 min. 54.9 sec.-the fastest mile ever run in the U.S., the third fastest in history...
