Whitey Ford Hurls Sixth Win Os Year NEW YORK (INS) — The name is Whitey Ford, but the color ot his mop has nothing to do with his being Casey Stengel's fair-haired boy. The New York Yankee ace lefty is the guy most managers dream about in the thick of a pennant race — when they’re not losing sleep trying to figure out how to get hold of a hurler just like him. Ford has started six times for the Yankees, finished six times and won six times. His 1956 earnedrun average is 0.83 —- only five earned runs in 54 innings. His career mark Is 67 wins, 22 losses, fqr .753, top percentage among the active major league hurlers. With a record like this, he could be bald and still be fairhaired. Thursday, the Bomber southpaw snapped a six-game Chicago win streak, 10 to 3, on an eight-hitter. The three Chicago runs were all unearned due to two throwing errors by shortstop Phil Ritxuto. As if his mound performance weren't enough, Whitey smacked out tw-o singles, drove home a run and scored once. When Ford pitches. Casey can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ball game. Thursday, he had plenty to gloat over. Yogi Berra hit his 11th homer of the year, a leadoff job* in the three - run second inning. The Yankees amassed six runs in the fourth inning, their most productive frame of the year, walloped

The Giants, without last • place Chicago to push around, were up to their old tricks Thursday night at the Polo Grounds, hitting when it didn’t count and making errors when it did. v The Braves picked up their first run when Al Dark let an easy grounder roll through his legs in the first inning and the run scored on what should have been the third out. Dark made it up in the third inning Whpn his two-On t sin gle brought home Ray Katt from second. Milwaukee starter Warren Spahn, who chalked up his third win of the season against one loss, scored what proved to be the winning run in the fourth Inning after Del Crandall homered over the roof. Spahn followed Crandall's homer with a single and oJhnny Logan brought him home with a bloop double to left. Giant starter Ruben Gomex ran into big trouble in the seventh when Milwaukee stacked five straight hits for four runs.

Open Speedway Qualification Runs Saturday INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Nearly half of the cars on hand for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s SOOMnlle race are expected to try tor one of the 33 starting spots during the first day of qualification runs Saturday. Predictions that a speed ot 146 or 147 miles per hour around the oval two and one-half mile track would be required to gain the pole position were tempered somewhat today by the weather outlook.

So is Bob Sweikert, of Indianapolis, the defending champion, who hopes to qualify Saturday, then go over to Winchester, Ind., to compete in a sprint race. Two near-misses Thursday had drivers at the Speedway thanking theft guardian angels. Johnny Boyd. Fresno. Calf!.. driver, credited a gust of wind with preventing a possible crackup for him. He grabbed for a piece of upholstery, ripped loose in the cockpit by the wind and accidentally hit the "kill” button, shutting off his engine. During the halt, he found a bolt imbedded in his right rear tire, which could have meant a blow-out and a crackup. Billy Garrett, Burbank. Calif„ rookie, did spin, but neither he nor the car were hurt seriously.
