Lee Waliard Wins 500-Mile Speedway Race Indianapolis, Ind., May 31 —(UP) —They didn’t overlook Lee Waliard jfap the pre-race speculation, but they overlooked one of the facets\of his character. The killer instinct. /. Waliard “killed" his opponents in the 35th annual Indianapolis 500mile speedway grind, and be killed them quick. It might have been by design. It might have been by luck. Waliard didn't say. “I didn’t have any race planned,” he said, “and I’m happy I won. I just went along as it went with me.” But Waliard knocked off his competition the big names of motor racing—Chet Miller, Duke Nalon, Maurj- Rose Johnni# Parsons, and all the Jest, /j * ' And it didn’t take 200 miles before he had established command of a 33-car field, such complete command that by that time it was merely a matter of who might catch Waliard. None did and nope had much of a chance against this 40speedster from Altamont, N.Y. He ntever let up, never lifted his foot from the throttle until he had the first prize in the $200,000 plus race in hts wallet. Waliard—driving a founcylinder Belanger Special entered by atMo enthusiast Murrell Belanger\ of Crown Point. Ind. —smashed his opponents from the dA>p of starter Setji Klein’s green flag. , He turned up in first place After one lap. And after two. He yielded back to second for two laps. He was in front again tor three. Then he stayed behind fdr nine laps, and then in front again for 35 laps. On his 51st turn of the two-dnd-one-half-mile asphalt and brick quadrangle, he came in for gas and new tires. By the time he returned to the traclf. he was in fifth place, the lowest position he ever held in the grueling event. As his front running foes took to the pits for gas and tires, or abandoned the race because of car exhaustion, Waliard moved up. When Cecil Green’s cfar gave up after “*BO laps. Waliard moved into the lead to stay—♦and defied the rest of the field to pass him.’ None did. * ! He finished 500 miles at a speed of 126.244 miles per hour, far !^at>feriOt , to the former record of 121.327 milej per hour set in 1949

by Bill Holland. \ Records fell at everr -milepost, save the first, second and fourth laps. Vv' ’< 4-' Only eight cars were still running; when Waliard finished. This was another new record, as thb previous low had been nine to finish in 1946. Rookie Mike Nazaruk was second. Jack McGrath’s car,'which relief dfiver Manuel Ayulo piloted the final 309 miles, was third. Then it was Bob Bali. 1950 national driving champion Henry Banks and Andy Linden. These were tiife only finishers, and all exceeded, in average speed Holland’s 1949 record. Charles Wins Over Maxim To Retain Crown Chicago. May 31.—(UP)— Heavywelght champion Ezzard Charles, who tried to be the | ring’s new “tiger man” while licking light heavyweight boss Joe#. Maxim last right, expected to arrange today for his ninth title defense against Jersey Joe Walcott at Pittsburgh in July or August. ' Dusky Charles has already beaten Jersey Joe in twoj.title fights; but he never gave andijsnt Walcott such a thorough battering as he meted out to blood-smieared Maxim last night before 7,23 d in Chicago Stadium. ’ Charles won thb unanimous 15round decision by 4 wide margin after an interesting brawl in which Ezzard became desperately aggressive and completely • unethical ih his use of nearly every brand of foul. Referee Frank Gilmer warned Ezzard in the first, second, third, sixth and ninth {rounds for blows, heeling with jibe palm of ♦l.e hand, and hitting on this breaks. Maxim, admittedly off form because of more than a year’js absence .from serious competition, tried to fight fire with fire; and he, too, was warned for using illegal tactics. In the fourth round. Maxim—4hittingf as they were broken from a clinch—landed his most damaging b.’ow of the fight. Hie hailed Charles with an over-haqtfed right that staggered the champ; Ezzard stood back oh wobbly legb and grinned crazily at the referee as if to ask why Gilmer had permitted Maxim co hit him illegally, d Despite all the fouls permitted during the bout, Gilmer never took a round away from either man; •
