Sports: Seattle, Maverick Wins Gold Cup A slide rule victory in the Gold Cup, Seattle's hydroplane classic. The winner is Maverick, with the best total elapsed time in three heats, an average speed of over 104 miles an hour (m.p.h.). It takes the judges 2 hours to make the key decision! Boats speed across water. Spectators watch, some through binoculars. Man waves checkered flag. Abrupt ending.
