and probably will discover that be is >75,000 richer. The tall, ratigy Chicago tavern owner who had set a new dualiflcatlen record of 143.596 miles pet hduf, was limited in his winning rice by a damp track, wet down by Over a week of rain. But gix-fOot PAt look the lead, mote or less to keep it, about the 41st lap in his John Zink special — and from then on he was in command. At least 10 drivers crashed In the big race some, including DtOk Rathtflann, Jimmy Day Walt and Tony Bettenhausen, with injurious results. But the shamrocked helembted Flfcherty kept an even fast kedl to win in the gbod time of three hours, 53 minutes and 28.94 seconds )at an average spded of 128.490 mph. This was sdmewhat less than t|ie 130.840 accord for the full 500 set by Bill Vukovkh in 1954. Vnky died a flaming death himself trying to better that mark while leading last year. But Pat's time was good enough

to win against the fastest field ever tp qaulifify for the big classic. ■ Flaherty, more of a competitor than a tavern owner, probably set his business back to years when he said as he rolled into the WtS» tier's lane: "Where’s my glass of milk?” Pat got it — and a victory kiss from Virginia Mayo, film Metres*, who was official hostess for the day. This was the White-toothed Flaherty’s fourth attempt at winning the big one. He finished 10th last year. Pat's wife, Marilyn, and his eight-months- old daughter, ColMen, saw him win the “big one.” Pretty Marilyn was breathless with adoration but the only quote gained from Colleen was "goo” — which her dad swears is' precocious Irish for "good.” Flaherty credited his crew with his success. He said: "A top mechanic and a good pit crew are about the most important things a drive can have behind him.” Sam Hanks, of Pacific Palisades, Calif., who hung like a leech on Flaherty’s tail for most of the last half of the race, > finished second 17 seconds behind the nonchalant Irishman. Third wal Don Preeland of Los Angeles, who bounced like a cue ball Off a retaining wall on his 98th lap -* but still kept going Fourth was Johnny Parsons, Van NuyS, Calif., the gallant 1950 winner. Dick athmann of Trenton, N. J., Diek Rathmann of Trenton, N.J., chashed on the southwest turn after finishing in fifth spot. X-rays showed that Rathmann suffered minor neck injuries. His brother, Jim, who led for the first three laps, was eliminated by mechanical trouble on the 176th lap. Bob Sweikert of > Indianapolis, last year's winner, was sixth.
