i (''' . Two Italian Cars Due At Speedway INDI AN APOUS (INS) — The two Italian cars entered in the , May 30th 500-mlle race are expected to arrive this week end at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. One is a 12-cylinder Ferrari entered by the race’s only woman car owner. Mrs. Marion Chinetti, of New York, in which the Italian driver. Giuseppe Farina, former world racing champ, hopes to take his driver’s test, is due today. n The other is the six-cylinder’ Bardahi • Ferrari, which Farina hopes to qualify for the race itself. Il arrived in New York Friday by plane from Milan and is expected in Indianapolis Sunday unless it has the same difficulty the other Ferrari did. A tow truck broke down in Ohio en route. Meanwhile sunny skies today gave likelihood that the some 50 cars at the track would go roaring for some necessary shakedown and practice before the qualification tests begin May 19. However, wind was expected to be a handicap. A shakedown for one of the two new Novis turned out to be a deadlock Friday. The new Novi, driven by Jimmy Davies, of Pacoima, Calif., locked brakes and came to a sudden halt. No harm was done. Krick-Tyndall Tile Mill Damage Slight Decatur firemen were called to the Krick-Tyndall Tile Mill Friday evening when the main electrical switch in the mill exploded. No fire resulted from the explosion, however. It was reported today that damage from the explosion Was slight and that the mill would be in full operation Monday. Regular Legion Meeting Monday The regular meeting of Adams Post 43, American Legion, will be 8 o'clock Monday evening at .in*. Legion home. All members are urged to be present.

Ford Pilches Fifth Win Os Year For Yanks NEW YORK (INS) — Whitey Ford, ace lefthander of the New York Yankees, is having some mighty anxious moments but promises to make good his prediction that he’ll win 20 games ’this year for the first time in his career. “It’s early to talk about it,” Whitey confided recently, “But I think I can win 20 and have my best year, provided I don't get into a couple of those two and three-week slumps like last season.” The major league season is not yet four weeks old and Whitey already is one-fourth of the way along the road to his first 20-game season in ine years of organized baseball. Ho was rocked for 12 hits by Baltimore Friday night but managed to complete his fifth straight game for victory No. 5 against no defeats. Whatever alee the chunky southpaw lacks to lend more distinction to his record, he owns the best wen-lost major league mark exhibited by any contemporary starter. - Since coming up in 1950, when he joined the Bombers, Ford has compiled 66 triumphs against 22 defeats for a .750 average. He twice reached 18 victories — in 1952, when he lost six, and last year, when he dropped seven. Ford was two outs away from his first defeat Friday night before the Yankees pushed over the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Erv Palica had starved the Yankees on four hits when Joe Collins tripled over Chuck Diering’s head. Elston Howard and Andy Carey were passed intentionally, loading the bags with one out, and pinch-hitter Bill Skowron scored Collins with a fly to center. Cleveland remained two games off the pace by beating Kansas City, 4 to 1, in a game called after five innings because of rain. Boston dropped 3% games behind on a 4-to-3 los at Washington and Chicago toppled Detroit, 9 to 7. The Milwaukee Braves retained their National league lead by nosing out Cincinnati, 9 to 8, in a ten-inning game at Crosley Field. Brooklyn beat New York. 8 to 4, before 24,431 fans at Ebbets Field and Pittsburgh extended Philadelphia’s losing streak to eight, 6 to 5, on Danny Gravity's first major league home run—a ninth-inning grand-slam. Mike Garcia had his second win in four decisions when Cleveland rapped the A’s for two runs in the first inning and Jim Busby hit a two-rnn home run In the next inning. The Senators beat Boston whenj Jim Lemon walked in the sixth, moved to third on Clint Courtney’s double and scored the first run on an infield out and Jerry Snyder singled Courtney home. Bob Chakales won his third game by relieving Chuck Stobbs to

Starting pitcher Jack Harshman hit a tworun home run but was routed by Detroit in the fourth, Dixie Howell winning in relief. The Braves won in a wild game that saw both Cincinnati manager Birdie Tebbetts and acting manager Jimmy Dykes chased by the umpires along with Redleg players Hal Jeffcoat and Ed Bailey. The winning run came when pinch-hitter Wes Covington doubled, advanced on a sacrifice and scored on Johnny Logan’s sacrifice fly. Bobby Thomson hit a two-run homer fir the Braves and Frank Robinson, Roy McMillan and Ted Kluszewski connected for the Rees. Tebbetts was ejected in the fourth and Jeffcoat in the seventh when the latter pushed up against plate umpire Vic Delmore for ruling that a pop bunt Jeffcoat dived for was a hit. , In the 10th, Dykes and Bailey were thrown out in a second-base rhubarb. The 21,234 Redleg fans were so worked up at game's end that the umpires were given a police escort to their dressing room. Ninth-inning reliever Ernie Johnson was the winning pitcher. Roger Craig held the Giants to six hits, one a Ray Katt home run, and struck out eight as he recorded his third victory. Roy Campanella, returning to the lineup after four days on the bench with a leg injury, shared the limelight with Sandy Amoros by collecting two singles and a walk. Sandy drove in three nips with a double and triple.
