Indianapolis Prepared For 500-Mile Race INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway 500 mile auto race (like ancient Rome’s Hon-Christian battles) depends upon and climaxes a month long series of Bacchanals. ♦ Highlight of the revelry for scores of newsmen covering the 39th annual Memorial Day classic is tonight’s Borg Warner dinner, with Dinah Shore the guest ot honor. Miss Shore will be introduced to hundreds of names and faces she never will be able to, assimilate and altogether her ordeal will be not much less gruelling than the test facjng the 33 drivers on Monday. She will wish, the drivers Godspeed, safety and luck at Sunday's meeting in which each driver will be seated in bleachers in the order in which he qualified and in which he will be for Monday's start. The pert songstress will break Speedway tradition by being the first woman to sing "Back Home Again In Indiana” in pre-race ceremonies. She will kiss the winner and present the Borg Warner trophy to him less than four hours later. It is not known whether Miss Shore doubles on the clarinet or wears a size 37 suit, but she certainly will travel this week end. More than 200,000 race fans are rolling toward Indianapolis, including officials from every nation in the Americas — guests of Hoosier Senator Homer E. Capehart. Flags of each nation will fly above the bleachers behind the pits on race day adding to the color. Also in the vast throng that will pay as high as SIOO for hotel accommodations, a dollar a throw for “Checkered Flags" (rum collins), and uncounted thousands for the' gewgaws and gadgets are a hard core of pickpockets, panderers and prostitutes. Speedway police chief Glen Collins said 150 state, county and city plainclothes detectives will be on duty this week end to protect the race fans from the vultures. There is no one to protect the race fans from themselves, how, ever and lights will burn into dawn in many hotel rooms and private homes as the railbirds whip toward the frenzy of the race itself. Gallons of liquor will be toasted, tons of cigars will be smoked and more food than Caesar’s legions consumed in the march through ftaul will be eaten in the three day orgy. There have been Stark and Wetzel's rookie of the year, Chevrolet’s pace car, Champion SparkPlugs’ 100 mile an hour club dinners and Firestone's buffet on Sunday. In addition, 16th street for a mile east from the 433 acre site of the race has been turned Into a midway by concessions ranging from cotton candy to penny pitches. They will do their biggest business Sunday night when cars park three abreast (just as the racers will (he next day) in a line extended three miles east from the track. The occupants of the cars, unable to sleep in the cramped quarters, roam the midway area. Gates will open at 4 a.m. CST, to let the cars in. Lawrence Bisceglia, of Burbank, Calif., has been first in line for a month. New Farm Tractor Introduced Here Allis-Chalmers is introducing a new farm tractor with a full diesel, 6-cylinder, valve-in-head engine, according to the Morrison Farm Store, local dealer, it is another in the WD-46 family which has been available with Power-Crater engine for gasoline and liquid petroleum fuels.

Giants Defeat Brooklyn And Carl Erskine NEW YORK (INS) — Two stars shone brightly on the horizon of baseball immortality today—Norm Zauchin and Bobby Hofman. Zauchin is a rookie first baseman from Boston. Hofman is the New- York Giants' pinch hitting utility infielder, catcher, first baseman. second baseman or whatever is Leo Durocher’s pleasure. Both performed feats Friday night which placed their names in the record book. Zauchin, who entered the game with a. .214 batting average and with but one home run to his credit, drove in ten runs with three homers and a double to lead Boston’s 16 to 0 stampede over Washington. « Hofman produced a dramatic 1 pinch homer in the seventh inning which ignited a rally and a subsequent 3 tb 1 victory for the Giants over Brooklyn. It was the ninth time the Jack of all trades performed the trick in three seasons, tying the all time lifetime record of nine held by Cy Williams of the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs. A crowd of 37,911 watched Carl Erskine hug a 1 to 0 lead for six innings , until Hofman batted for Davey Williams and cracked his third specialty of the season. Hank Thompson then tagged Erskine for his thirds hit of the night with one out in" the eighth and Willie Mays smashed another four bagger which gave Carl his second defeat in eight decisions. Sal Maglie. who gave up seven ’ hits over the route, recorded win ' No. 5 against three losses. The victory enabled the Giants, ’ who had lost four straight at Phil- ' adelphia, to pull within one game of the second place Cubs. Zauchin, who had only five runs ' batted in going into the game, came within one of tying the American League record of 11 RBl’s in a game, a mark held ' jointly by Rudy York and Tony Lazzeri. His three homers in a ' game was one shy of the major league record. Zauchin’s first homer came off Bob Porterfield in the first inning with a runner on. He hit a grand ‘ slam off Dean Stone in the second ' inning and drove in another run in the fourth with his double off Ted Abernathy. The 25-year-old 1 former Louisville player then blasted Abernathy for a three-run ' roundtripper in the fifth. Every Boston player was in on 1 the 13 hit attack against four ' Washington pitchers, with Grady Hatton also homering and tripling. Tom Brewer, who had lost six straight games, held the Nats to six hits while chalking up his first. Elsewhere in the American league, the New York Yankees fattened their lead to three games over Cleveland by defeating Baltimore, 6 to 2, and Detroit’s Billy Hoeft blanked the Chicago White Sox. 1 to 0.

Four Dionne Girls Mark 21st Birthday Four Survivors Os Quintuplets Meet CALLANDER, Ontario (INS) — The four surviving sisters of the Dionne quintuplets were expected to quietly celebrate their 21st birthday today at the family home in Callander. > Annette. Yvonne and Cecile left Montreal late Friday night for the long drive home to join Marie. Their reunion was marred only by the sad remembrance of Emilie's sudden death last August. 1 The girls’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne, other brothers and sisters and close kin were on hand for the family occasion. No formal plans for the birthday celebration were announced. It had been thought that the three sisters in Montreal would remain there. One subject likely to come up was the $1,000,000 trust fund which matures today. The fund was established by the Canadian government with the income the quints earned during their early years from tourists, films and personal appearances. Each of the surviving girls will receive $200,000 plus a portion of the sum which was to have gone to Emiiie. To avoid possible legal complications in the future, the sisters may make their ■ own wills now that they are legally of age. DELEGATES TO (Continued from Page One) in the upper third of the class.
