WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000 2 00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.460 Nearly 45,000 at New York's Belmont Park 3 00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:33.140 for the Belmont Stakes, last of the Triple Crown Series. 4 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.520 Tooth and Nail, number one, written by Eric Garan. 5 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.860 Number two, Nigia with Ray York up. 6 00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:41.760 Number three, Venetian Way, Eddie Arcaro in the saddle. 7 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.640 Number four, John William, Headley Woodhouse riding. 8 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.020 And number five, Disperse, Sammy Boulmides piloting. 9 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.240 Number six is Celtic Ash with Bill Hartack as tried him. 10 00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:55.380 And the seventh horse on the field is Tom Pien, 11 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:56.700 who's jockey is Willie Shoemaker. 12 00:01:02.860 --> 00:01:05.620 At the bell, Tooth and Nail bounce into the lead, 13 00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:08.520 but after a few strides, Venetian Way comes rushing past him 14 00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:09.340 to take the lead. 15 00:01:09.800 --> 00:01:12.440 Shoemaker brings Tom Pien up fast to battle Venetian Way 16 00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:13.380 for the top spot. 17 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:15.580 Disperse, Nigia and John William, 18 00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:17.960 following with Celtic Ash dead last. 19 00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:30.480 Rolling down the backstretch, 20 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.140 Venetian Way taking over the lead. 21 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.440 Tom Pien in second place, Disperse third by a narrow margin 22 00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:38.700 over Tooth and Nail, and still far back in last place, 23 00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:39.600 Celtic Ash. 24 00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:50.400 As they approach the last turn, Venetian Way and Tom Pien 25 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.000 still battling it out for the lead, Disperse third, 26 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.680 but Hartack urges Celtic Ash up on the Irish bread, 27 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.780 Irish Crane coat, closes up on the field. 28 00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:00.080 His owner, Joseph O'Connell of Boston, 29 00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:02.320 has had only one other Belmont entry, 30 00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:04.720 Cavern, and he won in 1958. 31 00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:12.540 They come thundering around the final turn. 32 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:14.780 Arcaro still has Venetian Way in front, 33 00:02:14.980 --> 00:02:17.520 with Tom Pien right after him, and Disperse third, 34 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.500 but Celtic Ash is flying by the leaders. 35 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.560 Down the stretch, Celtic Ash on the outside 36 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.940 and is running right over the race. 37 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.220 Venetian Way and Disperse desperately trying to hold on. 38 00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:33.880 Gunning for the finish line, 39 00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:36.440 Celtic Ash has the lead and rapidly increases it. 40 00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:38.740 He's the winner and he's going to win big. 41 00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:42.200 Hartack house the Irish horse home by five and a half lengths 42 00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:44.620 over Venetian Way, Disperse third. 43 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.880 A great triumph for Green Dune Farms 44 00:02:53.880 --> 00:02:55.180 and its trainer, Tom Barry. 45 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.900 Two Irish entries on the Belmont, 46 00:02:56.900 --> 00:02:59.440 Cavern and Celtic Ash, both winners. 47 00:03:08.660 --> 00:03:11.200 Paul Pender climbs into the ring in the Boston Garden 48 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:13.460 to defend his New York, Massachusetts version 49 00:03:13.460 --> 00:03:14.900 of the World Middleweight Championship 50 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.740 against Sugar Ray Robinson, from whom he won it last winter. 51 00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:20.760 A crowd of 9,000 sees the return match. 52 00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:25.720 The 15 round bout starts and Sugar Ray opens at a fast pace. 53 00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:29.260 A lot of experts think Sugar will not pander out this time 54 00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:31.020 after losing the title on points. 55 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.080 And that's what he's out to do. 56 00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:46.080 A glimpse of the bout with the action slowed. 57 00:03:48.440 --> 00:03:50.400 The fight is cluttered up with frequent clenches 58 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.440 slowing down the action. 59 00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:09.480 Robinson's attack reaches its peak in the fifth round. 60 00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:11.540 Ray seems to be throwing everything he has 61 00:04:11.540 --> 00:04:13.520 in an effort to finish the Brookline battle. 62 00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:22.460 That effort appears to have used up Robinson's energy. 63 00:04:22.780 --> 00:04:25.400 Having weathered the storm, Pender goes on the offensive. 64 00:04:25.700 --> 00:04:25.700 65 00:04:25.700 --> 00:04:25.700 66 00:04:25.700 --> 00:04:28.620 His left jab jolts the former champ repeatedly. 67 00:04:32.580 --> 00:04:33.880 The clenching continues. 68 00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:36.260 They tie up after every exchange. 69 00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:43.360 Pender's left piles up points during the last 10 rounds. 70 00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:49.720 Robinson frequently wrestles Pender to the ropes 71 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.520 and in the 12th round, they topple over the middle strand. 72 00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:54.780 Sugar Ray tries to help Paul to his feet 73 00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:56.320 but can't get a grip with the gloves 74 00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:58.540 and referee Jimmy McCarron pulls him up. 75 00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:05.900 And they go back to battle. 76 00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:08.420 As the final round comes up, 77 00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:10.580 Robinson, regarded as the best fighting man 78 00:05:10.580 --> 00:05:12.500 pound to pound of the last many years, 79 00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:16.060 appears to realize only a knockout will retrieve his title. 80 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.960 He punches away with his last remaining string. 81 00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:41.500 Sugar Ray is bone tired. 82 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.180 Pender withstands the attack and finishes the fight fairly strong. 83 00:05:54.140 --> 00:05:54.760 The first round is over. 84 00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:54.760 85 00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:54.760 86 00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:54.760 87 00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:54.760 88 00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:54.760 89 00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:54.760 90 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.080 Pender suffers only a small cut over one eye. 91 00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:07.660 Robinson is obviously weary. 92 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.480 The crown recognized only in New York and Massachusetts 93 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.640 is retained by Pender on a split decision. 94 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.640 Robinson congratulates the winner of what may be Ray's last fight. 95 00:06:24.760 --> 00:06:27.580 The 60th United States Open Golf Championship 96 00:06:27.580 --> 00:06:29.320 on the Cherry Hills course at Denver 97 00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:31.580 with the snow-capped Rockies as the backdrop. 98 00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:33.740 Dominating the first half of the tournament 99 00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:36.240 is Mike Suchak, former Duke football player. 100 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.000 Suchak breaks the 36th hole record for the open 101 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.600 with a score of 135 for the first two rounds 102 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.620 and appears to be unbeatable. 103 00:06:53.580 --> 00:06:57.040 Ben Hogan among the contenders starting the final round. 104 00:06:57.940 --> 00:06:59.560 Jack Nicklaus, brilliant amateur. 105 00:07:00.820 --> 00:07:03.060 Julius Boros, 52 champion. 106 00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:05.220 Suchak setting the pace. 107 00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:10.700 Jack Fleck, 1955 upset winner. 108 00:07:11.700 --> 00:07:13.460 Ted Cole making a strong bid. 109 00:07:13.780 --> 00:07:16.260 The final day is one of the most exciting ever seen 110 00:07:16.260 --> 00:07:16.600 in the Open. 111 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:16.600 112 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:16.600 113 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:16.600 114 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.740 As Suchak slips, Boros, Fleck, Jerry Barber, 115 00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:22.560 Dutch Harrison, Dow Finsterwald and Nicklaus all threaten. 116 00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:26.060 Then out of the blue comes a thunderbolt. 117 00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:29.180 Arnold Palmer, the Masters champion starting the last round 118 00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:32.480 seven strokes behind Suchak, puts on a blistering rally. 119 00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:34.660 The man from the Pennsylvania Steel Regions 120 00:07:34.660 --> 00:07:37.400 ties the tournament record for nine holes with a 30, 121 00:07:37.760 --> 00:07:40.440 scoring birdies on six of the first seven holes. 122 00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:49.020 Then the leaders stumble. 123 00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:52.260 Hogan collapses with a six and seven on the last two holes. 124 00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.220 Suchak surrenders to the pressure on the final round 125 00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:01.740 and finishes with a 75 that leaves him tied 126 00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:03.840 for third place at 283. 127 00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:11.080 Surprise of the tournament is the young amateur Nicklaus. 128 00:08:11.140 --> 00:08:13.240 His 282 takes second place. 129 00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:16.300 Then comes Palmer. 130 00:08:16.440 --> 00:08:18.600 From the edge of the last green, he rolls a chip 131 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.040 right up beside the hole. 132 00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:27.420 Then Palmer drops the putt and tosses his cap in the air 133 00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:30.240 as he wins with a sensational last round 65 134 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.780 and a score of 280. 135 00:08:32.140 --> 00:08:34.820 An amazing triumph with the most sensational rally 136 00:08:34.820 --> 00:08:36.040 in Open golf history. 137 00:08:46.060 --> 00:08:48.560 Chicago's Comiskey Field packs in its biggest crowd 138 00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:50.860 in three years, more than 48,000. 139 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.940 The champion White Sox are taking on the New York Yankees 140 00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:55.420 who are getting red hot. 141 00:08:55.780 --> 00:08:59.920 Jim Coats after his eighth straight victory for the Yanks. 142 00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:03.880 Minimanosa breaks the ice for Chicago by smashing a home run 143 00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:04.700 in the fourth inning. 144 00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:08.060 It's the first hit of the ball game after Coats and Bob Shaw 145 00:09:08.060 --> 00:09:09.600 have dueled for three frames. 146 00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.980 The scoreboard lights up with fireworks. 147 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.180 But Shaw immediately gets into trouble. 148 00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:27.160 An error starts it. 149 00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:30.620 After a fine stop, Gene Freeze throws wild on Elston Howard's 150 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:31.040 grounder. 151 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:34.120 The Sox try to catch him off base, but he's back. 152 00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:42.840 Bill Scowron follows with a single to left field. 153 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:43.220 154 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:43.220 155 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:43.220 156 00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:53.580 After Cleve Boyer is hit by a pitch filling the bases, 157 00:09:53.900 --> 00:09:55.140 Shaw pitches to Bobby Richardson. 158 00:09:57.800 --> 00:10:00.140 Richardson punches a ground single through the left side, 159 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.980 sending Howard and Scowron over the plate 160 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:03.420 and the Yankees ahead. 161 00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:12.640 Coats follows with a bounding hit through the box 162 00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:13.200 good for two minutes. 163 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:13.200 164 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:13.200 165 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.000 Two more runs and the Yankees are out in front four to one. 166 00:10:22.180 --> 00:10:24.320 Coats carries a 7 to 3 lead into the ninth, 167 00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:26.340 then runs out of gas. 168 00:10:29.020 --> 00:10:31.100 Earl Torgeson bounces a pitch single to center 169 00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:33.580 and Al Smith, who had walked, moves around to third base. 170 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:34.880 Two on and two out. 171 00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:42.000 Coats laboring now. 172 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.420 Lewis Aparicio pokes a single through the infield 173 00:10:51.420 --> 00:10:54.960 and Al Smith jogs over the plate, but the Sox still have a long 174 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.360 way to go. 175 00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:06.960 Nellie Fox lines one down into the right field corner 176 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.760 for a two-bagger. 177 00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:11.060 Torgeson scores and now the White Sox have the tying runs 178 00:11:11.060 --> 00:11:12.100 in scoring position. 179 00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:13.180 The Yankees are in the lead. 180 00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.180 181 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.220 Bob Turley relieves Coats. 182 00:11:24.020 --> 00:11:26.820 On Minoso's foul, Howard flings his mask into many space 183 00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:28.060 as he goes after the ball. 184 00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:31.180 The Yankee catcher camps into the pop-up and hauls it in. 185 00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:33.960 The Yanks win 7 to 5, sweep the series, 186 00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:36.920 and Minoso is really out, but only temporarily. 187 00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:49.280 The Yankees are in the lead.
