Sad Sam Jones Hurls No-Hit Game For Cubs NEW YORK (INS) -—Sad Sam JOnes anti the up to now sad sack Milwaukee Braves had something in common today. - The whole town of Chicago talked to their no hit Jones boy and in Milwaukee 'the win frtft-' traced citizens put a smile back in their words whey they discussed the It all came about in dramatiq fashion Thursday Jones started the doings in Hall Os Fame fashion by hurling the Chicago Oubs to a no hit, no run, 4-0 triumph over the Pittsburgh The lanky 29-year-old right; hander put the lid bn his tremendous performance by striking out the side after walking the first three in tta?\ ninth inning. In all, Jones faced 31 batters, struck out six and talked seven. Quite Exciting, too, 'was the way Del Crandall homered in the bottom/of the l’2th innjng to break up a life or death (struggle and, give thi? Braves a 2-1 victory over' the Brooklyn Dodgers. Crandall, hitless in 33 previots trips and one of the objects of Milwaukee fans’ disaffection® as of late, led off the inning and belted reliever Ed Roebuck’s second pitch for the game winner. The blow lengthened the losing streak of the incredible Brooks to an incredible two strbight. It reduced theilr National League lead to eight Janies, gave punchless Milwaukee winning streak and elongated Gene Conley a much deserved six hitter and" fourth victory. i Conley and Brooklyn ace Carl Eskrine were giving an almost repeat show as they ■ dueled for 11 innings deadlocked at 1-1. A homer by Hank in the second and one by Brooklyn's Sandy Amoros in the fourth accounted for all the' see ring in the regulation game. The last time long Gene and slender Carl got together; at Ebbets Field, the game disc went 12 innings and Carl Furillo broke up the thing with a twql run homer in the the I,3th. : , But this time, at ,the home of the Braves, the 39,155 partisans could cheer at the end. Erskine, a five time winner and a nonloser, was lifted by Manager Walter Alston before the! Braves came to bat in the 12th anfl yookie IJoe- ■ -bud Week -t he- letw-bv-tosslng only two pitches 7- including 'the one that got away. Nothing got away,! though, from ■toothpick chewing Mr. Jones on the 12th day of May, 1955. The 6-4. 29fe-pounder beclame the first pitcher to toss a no-noflfcrig this seaso»vr and only £.918 fans at Wrigley Field were on hand to see it “live." It was the first National League, no-hitter in CEilc&go since thel "double-no hitter" between Fred] Toney of Chieifinati and Jim Vhughn of the Cubs on May 2, 1917. After walking the first three | batters in the ninth, Jones whiffed Dick Groat, Roberto Clemente and Frank Thomas. The fireballer was helped by a 15 hit attack on Nelson King and Vernon Law, featured by a home run and run scoring double by right fielder Ted Tappe. Jones, former Cleveland Indian property, came to Chicago fjom Indianapolis, he .had a J.5-S record last season. He is 4-3 with the Bruins.

Philadelphia - Cincinnati night games were rained out. Things were lively In the American League, too. Mickey McDermott tossed a four hitter and the Washington Senators blanked the Cleveland Indians, 3-9. The Tribe's six-game winning streak came to an end and their lead was cut to two games. - (McDermott' topped rookie whiz Herb Score, who lasted. six innings. Five walks and two wild pitches issued by the Indians* 21 year old southpaw contributed to his downfall despite the fact that he gave up only two hits and struck out seven. Eddie Yost, who had played in BXB straight games, had his snapped when he missed the contest because of a tonsilltls attack. The Chicago White Sox scored four runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Baltimore Orioles. 6-2. Bob Nieman singled across the tie - and the other key hits were made by Chico Carrasquel, Nellie Fog anif Jim Rivera. Boston’s Red Sox, awaiting the arrival of Ted Williams, pounded Vic .Raschi and two relievers for 15 hits and a 12-7 win over the Kansas City Athletics. Gene Stephens and Jackie Jensen homered for the Bosox. Gus Zernlal hit a pair of tworun homers-No. 9 and 10-and Bill Renna connected for a three run blast to account for KC'e runs off winner Ivan Delock. Vukovich Is Ready For Speedway Trial INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Heavy parly morning rain and d! forecast of Ashowers today threatened to . the Indianapolis Motor Speed way activity confined to the ga- ■ tdge areg. j But tinkering in Gasoline- Alley has to be proved on the track and several drivers want to see how many extra miles per hour have been added to the cars before, qualifications begin Saturday. '. Defending champion Bill Vukovich, 1953 and 1954, said “let 11L spin’’ as he and his pit crew put their car under wrapa pending the battle for the pole position, Saturday Vuky, trying for an unprecedented third . straight victory, turned off a lap of 141.2 mph just as the track closed Thursday and said he was all ready for a shot at the pole. / The Fresno, Calif., speedster drove t<? victory from the pole in , 1953. He won the pole position that’Year/'with a 138.392 mph (piy- . lap qualifying speqd that probably won’t get a car into this year’s 33-car starting field. Most observers figure the pole position will carry a 142 plus mph speed, tag and that 139 plus mph oy even 140 mph will be needed to land in the May 30th field of the I. ! 39th annual 500 mile race. Forty cars hit the bricks Thurs- , day and as many or more plan to ' take to the track today if the wea•l ther breaks at all. Two drivers also hoped for a break in the weather to get them- ■ selves seats in this year’s race. Ope is Leroy Warriner, of Indianapolis, who was dropped by his car owner after he missed four caution signals and nearly crashed into a racer that had spun out a minute earlier. The Other is 1951 winner Lee Wallard, who was burned seriously fo.ur days after! he won, the 500 and who retired ’ last May.
