Cards Defeat Milwaukee To Move To Lead NEW YORK (INS) — The dark horse St. Louis Cardinals galloped past the May Day milestone of the Nstional League pennant race today. a nose in front of one of the tightest fields in years. The- Cards were five games back in third place a year ago at this time and were well on the road to seventh-place obscurity. Brooklyn had won 14 of its first 16 and was 4’4 ahead of Milwaukee. Ten games back was Cincinnati but perennial tail-ender Pittsburgh brought up the rear as usual, 19 percentage points behind the Redlegs. The picture was vastly different today. The team voted most likely to succeed again this year trailed the Cards by 31 percentage points. And Chicago, not Pittsburgh, was on the bottom of the heap although only 314 games separated the Cubs from first place. The Cards won their sixth in nine starts and took over first place Monday by blanking Milwaukee 2 to o in the only NL game scheduled. There was no regular scheduled activity in the American league either although Cleveland shut out the Dodgers, 1 to 0, in a teninning exhibition affair under the lights in Jersey City. The smallest County stadium baseball crowd since the Braves came to Milwaukee three years ag0—6.090 — watched righthander Tom Poholsky pick up his first victory of the season with some ninth-inning help from Jackie Collum and Ellie Kinder Warren Spahn. trying to get the Braves started after seven straight days of rain-outs, pitched a no hitter until the seventh inning. Then with two down, Kenny Boyer, Rip Repulski and Wally Moon each singled to produce the only run the Cards needed. Spahn, 34-year-old lefthander who usually has the Cards eating out of his hand, suffered his first defeat against no victories. A crowd of 10,439 showed up at Roosevelt stadium to watch notorious Dodger killer Sal Maglie post another win over Brooklyn. The Dodgers were limited to two singles over the ten innings while the Indians managed four hits, including Hoot Evers’ bloop double and Hank Fonts’ run • scoring single. Chuck Templeton had held the Tribe to one hit in nine innings before the American Leaguers scored off Bob Darnell. Chuck had worthy opposition from Bob Feller who pitched three perfect innings, and southpaw Bud Daley before opposing Maglie in the seventh.

19 Racers Now At Indianapolis Track INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Two more race cars •arrived at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday to raise to 19 the number of mounts now at the track preparing for the May 30th 500 mile event. New arrivals were the Greeni man Casale and Central Excavating specials, scheduled to be driv-en-tn that order, by Edgar Elder, a rookie from Speedway, Ind., and Gene Hartley, of Indianapolis. Most of the remaining 40 entries are expected to be brought to Gasoline Alley by Saturday. The United States auto club officials in charge of this 40th annual 500-mile run face an exhaustive week since both cars and drivers face safety cheeks before they can be allowed on the track. In addition to the physical examination for all drivers, and a rigid driving lest for newcomers, the cars themselves get a “physical examination." n One of the important phases of this mechanical examination is the magnaglo or xyglo check of all vital parts in a hunt for unseen metal failure or fatigue. The first process i%used on magnetic parts and .the other on non-magnetic parts. While much of this work is done,

at stations set up by the Magnaflux Corporation throughout the United States, considerable more examination is done at the track. Last year, 2,509 parts were given the inspection and 144 flaws not visible to the naked eye were discovered and potential accidents thus averted. Meanwhile, one of the early arrivals. Pat Flaherty, driving the new John Zink Special, got up to 136.3 miles per hour with ease Monday in a shakedown run. That was the best so far since the track opened for practice Saturday and Pat O'Connor turned 136.2 thph.

All eligible boys are urged to attehd this try-\ out session. , ; Eastern Indiana Meet On Wednesday The annual Eastern Indiana conference track and field meet will be held at Ball State Teachers College filed at Muncie Wednesday afternoon, beginning at 1 o'clock.
