White Sox In Lead, Bosox Defeat Yanks May 29 —(UP) — ’those wondrous White Sox, who make more trades than they do on the stock exchange, apparently pulled another slick one when they acquired supposedly sore-armed Saul Rogovin from the Tigers, for he was the pitcher who put them in first place today with their 12th straight win. When they gave up classy lefty Bob Cain for Rogovin, it provoked more raised eye-brows among the experts than a girlie show at an old ladies’ home. But manager Paul Richards said calmily “let second guess' me—l think Saul can win for me.” Richafds had Rogovin when he managed the Buffalo Birons in the International league and he learned there wrong with iiis arm. \ 1 Rogovin last night turned in a two-hitter over the Browns, marred only because of his wildness- He walked eight batters and two of the walks led to the only Brownie runs. Rogovin was in a big jam rifeht at the start when he walked three men in the first inning but tight fielding kept the frowns from scoring. Chicago, back home before 23, 138 happy howling fans after an all-victorious road tour, then give him a 2 to 0 lead on a single, by Nel son Fox. a walk, Eddie Robinson’s single, and a. wild throw. Robinson also drove in what became the winning run with another single in a two-run fifth. Rogovin contributed to the attack, 100, getting a double and single. \ The Yankees dropped out of the lear, 24 percentage points behind lead, 24 percentage points behind 1 Parnell defeated them, 3 to 2, as Bob Feller pitched the Indians io Boston made it eight in a row. a 9 to 0 victory at Detroit while in the National league, the Dodgers edged the Phillies, 4 to 3, the Braves won a 4 to 1 test at New York, and the Cardinals outlasted the Pirates, 6 to 5 in 10 Innings Philadelphia at and Chicago at Cincinnati were rained out. Bobby Doerr gave Parnell the lead he needed for his\ fifth victory and the seventh straight' complete pitching job for s the Red Sox with a two-run second inning homer. Parnell nicely distributed xiine hits and both Yankee runs were unearned. Vern Stephens drove in the other Boston run with a single. Feller, winning his sixth decision against one loss, pitched six-hit ball and also drovle in two runs with a double and two singles. Luke Easter, who almost cost Feller his shutout with a bush-likc blunder when he threw the ball away in the fourth after retiring a runner at first, thinking it was the third oiit, atoned for the lapse by hitting a 380-foot homer later. George Sirnweiss also made thre? hits for Cleveland, which got 15 in all-' \ 1 Carl Furlllo, who: had driven in two earlier runs with doubles, hit a ninth inning homer to give Ralph Branca a victory in his first start of the year for Brooklyn. Gil Hedger, .the major league pace setter, hit his 15th homer for the other 1 Dodger run. Ken Heintzelman, through striking o|ut 11 Dodgers, yielded seven extra base hits, which were his downfall. v \ After giving up a homer to rookie Willie Mays in his first time at bat in the Polo grounds, lefty Warren Spahn settled back to pitch a seven-hitter and gain his fifth triumph. He struck oiit eight Giants. Bob Elliotlt’s two run hojner highlighted a three-run first inning rally that gave Spahn; all the support he needed. Willard Marshall hit a triple and two singles for BostonDespite yielding homers to Ralph Kiner,'Cliff Chambers, and George Metkovljch. which accounted fox four of Pittsburgh’s runs, young Tqm Poholsky managed to stick it. and win his fourth game for the Cardinals when Red Schoendienst singlecl home tb4 winning run in the 10th with two out Stan Musial started Poholsky oft right with a three-run first inning homer.

li - r Y ' " ■* r' Record Speeds Predicted For 500-Mile Race Indianapolis, Ipd., May 29.— (UP) —The nation’s motor speed kings will be going so fast ip tomorrow's 500nnile race I that even speedway president Wilbur Shaw, thrice a winner of the annual dash, was a little frightened today. “We’re considering putting in mechanical restrictions to' slow tnem dpwn,” Shaw said, “but it would-be a shame to do it When they’re really improving the breed Os cArs. ; “We won’t do ?f it until we give i» a lot more consideration, and. then only as a safety factor. But If we should slow the cars, there's another consideration. “Driving a slower car, the drivers will take more, chances to win, and that be wnrse than letting them improve t£e cars while remaining within Qur present restrictions,’’ Shaw concludedTomorrow*)) field of 33 cars averaged 13|3.570 miles per hour in order to get into, the chase. That compared with the previous record average of 131.045 set by qualifers last yeajr, and the average speed of 128J036. These were vast advances, and became more; spectacular considering the pole position was wop in 1938 by the late Floyd Roberts who also won the race that year, at an average speed of 125.681 -MPH- The restrictions on motors now in effect w-ere first imposed for that event. In 1938, piston displacement was limited tb 274 cubic inches for non-supercharged engines and 183 cubic ! inches for supercharged engines. These still stand. Before 1938, the rape was open to cars With piston displacements up to 366 cubic inches. \l “These drivers are adding dependability A top,” Shaw said. ’ They’re going faster every . year simply by making better refinements, and more cars are finishing every yedr. ’ 1. ' “But this speed,” he said. -“I never went around .the track as fast as the slowest starting driver
