Four of the cars which incorporate radical departures from conventional racers took to the track. They included a car which has the engine lying virtually on its side, driven by Sam Hanks; one driven by Roger Ward with its engine set on the bias, and two with the engines on the right side with the drivers sitting on the left. The latter were driven by Al Keller and Jack Turner. None of the four attempted high speeds on their trial runs. The biggest news of the day was the appearance at the track of Pat O’Connor, North Vernon, who recently set a new unofficial track speed record at Monza, Italy, and the performance of Giuseppe (Nino) Farina as he passed his "rookie” driving test with flying colors. Farina, 50? passed the 130-mile-an-hour phase of his driver s test in near-perfect fashion. The former world’s champion from Turin, Italy, had a big smile as he walked to the rear of his car and ripped the "rookie” tape off the tail after passing the final test. "I am very happy,” he told onlookers in broken English. Farina also took the 125-mile-an-hour test at his own request. He had passed that phase of the test last year in his first appearance at the Speedway, but asked to take it over as a means of working up to higher speeds. O'Connor, just returned from Monza where his lap of over 170-miles-ah-hour broke the unofficial record of 165 set by world champion Juan Manual Fangio of Argentina, took a test ride in the car in which George Amick went into a 750-foot spin Tuesday. The fastest time of the day—139.5—was turned in by Andy Linden just before the track closed for the day. The top event today was expected 'to be the arrival of the tiard-luck Novis from Burbahk, Calif. Tony Bettenhausen has been assigned to drive one of them and Paul Russo the other. Russo was leading the pack in a Novi last year when he blew a tire and smashed into the wall.

State Records Are Jeopardized At Sectionals - INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—At least six all-time Indiana high school sectional track records are in jeopardy Friday when the threeweek championship carnival gets underway. As usual, the weather plays a Joey role. • t ■••■ntM *’A record 4,534 athletes from 346 schools—also a new high—was primed for action in the first phase of the championships. The regionals are slated for 17 at four centers, and the finals arc down for May 25 at Tech otadium here. Fort Wayne North Side is the defending champion. Sectional marks shaky are those in the mile run, high jump, 440yard dash, pole vault, and mile and half-mile relays. New all-time Indiana highs were set in the high jump and mile relay earlier in the season. Defending state high jump champion Leroy Johnson of Mishawaka soared 6 feet 7ft inches—best in the nation this year—and Fort Wayne North’s mile relay team, with two members of last year's championship qua r t tecb ak, championship quartet back, shifted into high gear for a 3:24.1 clocking. Harper’s Record Stands Hie sectional best 6 feet sft inches in the high jump was set by Jim Harper of Hammond in 1949. Fort Wayne North's 1941 mile relay mark of 3:26 is the oldest on the list of sectional records. The 4:26 mile standard by Ashley Hawk of Fort Wayne North in 1942 sebtional competition also has been bettered twice during the 1957 season by Dave Redding of Fort Wayne South. Redding covered the distance in 4:25.2 and 4:25.8. In the 440, a 50-second flat state season best by Art Deßow of Terre Haute Gerstmeyer in the Tferre Haute city meet Tuesday is only one-tenth of a second off the sectional high of :49.9 by Max Ramsey of Fort Wayne Central in 1944. Leroy Johnson has run the 440 in :50.2, and Jerry Golem of Hammond Tech and Bob Orrill of Madison sport :50.7 clockings. The half-mile relay sectional and all-time Indiana record of 1:30.2 set by Gary Froebel in 1950 is threatened by Terre Haute Wiley. The Red Streaks zipped home in 1:30.6 in the Terre Haute meet. In the pole vault, defending state titlists Mike Johnson of Anderson and Ron Nelson of Hammond are chief threats to the mark of 13 feet 2ft inches established by Billy Moore/ of Logansport in 1942. Top Boys Advance Advancing from the sectional to the regional stage in each of the 16’ccnters will be the first three finishers in the 440, the top four in thb other 10 individual events and the first and second place teams in both relays. The same setup will be Used tn the regionals to select finals contestants. Here are the all-time sectional track records: 100-yard dash —;09.7, Joe Gonzales. Gary Froebel. 1949. 220-yard dash—:2l.l, Bill Satterfield', Richmond. 1956. 440-yard dash—:49.9, Max Ramsey. Fort Wayne Central, 1944. 880-yard run—l:s6,s, Ashlej

Redlegs Take 9lhlnßowAs . Ex-Cubs Star By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Don Hoak and Warren Hacker provide iron - clad evidence today that General Manager Gabe Paul has scored another trade coup in his efforts to bring the Cincinnati Redlegs their first pennant since 1940. > ■ '... Acquired from the Chicago Cubs Nov. 13 for pitcher Elmer Singleton and infielder Ray Jablonski, Hoak and Hacker were key .figures as the Redlegs ran their winning streak to nine games Wednesday night with a 7-6 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Hoak blasted a grand-slam homer in the eighth inning to give the Redlegs their winning margin while Hacker gained his third win of the year—the same number he scored all last year for the Cubs. The triumph moved the Redlegs to within a half-game of the first-place Milwaukee Braves, who suffered a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Chicago Cubs walloped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-1, and the St. Louis Cardinals routed the New York Giants, 13-4, in other N.L. games. In the American League, the Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees, 10-4, the Boston Red Sox downed the Chicago White Sox, 4-1, the Detroit Tigers mauled the Washington Senators, 11-3, and the Baltimore Orioles whipped the Kansas City Athletics, 11-2. Newcombe Tagged Hoak, a .215 - hitter last season when he went 0-for-12 against Don Newcombe, connected for his grand slam off the big Brooklyn right hander to snap a 3-3 tie and negate Gil Hodges’ three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth. Hoak increased his league-leading average to .415. He also leads the circuit with 21 runs batted in. Substitute first baseman George Crowe, also acquired in one of Paul’s trades in 1955, accounted for Cincinnati’s first three nins with a pair of homers. Crowe, filling in for the injured Ted Kluszewski now has hit five homers. Hershell Freeman finished up for Hacker. The Phillies handed the Braves their third straight* defeat behind a seven - hit pitching effort by. rookie Don Cardwell. Cardwell, who won his second game, made Danny O OonnaHHhis« mnthJ Stvfce-: out victim to eqd the after doubles by Johnny Logan and Bill Bruton produced the Braves' run in the ninth. Bob Bowman’s sacrifice fly drove in Philadelphia’s winning run in the sixth. Dick Drott, 20-year-old rookie, pitched a six-hitter as the Cubs won their third straight game and dealt the Pirates their fourth straight loss. Hal Smith knocked in six runs and Stan Musial collected three hits in the Cardinals’ 19-hit assault on Johnny Antonelli and four successors. More Home Rons Gene Woodling and Vic Wertz blasted three - run homers and rookie ftoger Maris hit a two-run round-tripper as the Indians routed Art Ehtmar and made it two straight over the Yanks. Early Wynn, aided by relief artist Ray Narleski. gained his third victory despite Mickey Mantle’s fourth homer" of the season which accounted for all New York’s runs. Ted Williams slammed out three homers to raise his average to .474 and account for all the Red Sox’ runs. Ted homered off Bob Keegan in the first and third innings and then walloped a tworun blast in the eighth to seal the White Sox' fifth straight loss Frank Sullivan pitched a four-hit* ter.for his second triumph. Charley Maxwell drove in three runs and Al Kaline and Ray Boone two each to help the Tigers extend the Senators’ losing -streak to 10 games. Duke Maas received credit for his fourth win although Jim Bunning finished up with four hitless innings of relief. Billy Loes pitched an eight-hit-ter and Billy Gardner and Gus Triandos homered_for. the Orioles, who stopped the Athletics’ longest winning streak in two years at four straight. * . Trap Shoot Planned Sunday Afternoon A trap shoot will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, on the grounds of the St. Mary’s Blue Creek conservation club, located six miles east of Monroe on 124, 1 or approximately eight miles southeast of Decatur. - Hawk, Fort Wayne North, 1942.

Damage To Score's Eye Is Uncertain CLEVELAND (UP)-X-ray examination of Indians pitcher Herb Score’s right eye will be postponed “for a day or two.” Dr. Don Kelly, team physician, and Dr. Charles I. Thomas, the eye specialist, said this decision should not be interpreted either optimistically or pessimistically. “Herb Score’s condition is slightly improved," the two physicians said. ’’At this time there appears to be no other complications. The hemorrhage in the right eyeball is being absorbed as expected.” The decision to postpone X-rays did not stem from conditions seen inside the eyeball. It was made, the doctors said, to avoid disturbing the patient, in view of the absence of further complications. Thomas warned against "premature optimism’’ that Score’s sight will be saved. ’’lt is still far too early to predict whether the eye will or will not be saved,” the Cleveland specialist said. “The exact extent of damage to the eye will not be known for a day or two and possibly for even longer.”

The 23-year*old Score, felled ( Tuesday night by a line drive off I the bat of Gil McDougald in the : first inning of the Indians’ game : with the New York Yankees, was 1 reported to have spent a fairly comfortable night. Thomas prescribed ‘‘complete rest and quiet” and has Score in a completelydarkened room at Lakeside Hospi- < tai. Thomas pointed out that he : may even delay the X-rays if he feels Score should have another day of complete rest. The horror over one of the most serious accidents in baseball history gave way somewhat to optimism Wednesday , when Thomas I revealed that Score is able to see out of the eye., He pointed out that fact “is encouraging” but not conclusive. "Fortunately, the ball struck him flush,” Thomas said. “It caught the top of his" eyebrow bone, his cheekbone and his nose. The ’ nose was fractured. Apparently the bone structure of his face absorbed most of the impact that would have destroyed the eye. There is no brain injury. He also suffered a cut on the right eyelid and a -lwtieed right, cheek* Score’s teammates andhffiiWYghkees were stia in a state of shock Wednesday wife McDougald virtu-

ally inconsolable. Th,e Yankee Infielder, hqwever, withdrew his statement that he wpuld quit the game if Score lost his sight after the Cleveland pitcher sent him a message from the hospital room "not to worry about it.” Cleveland General Manager Hank Greenberg reported a flood of telegrams encouraging Score in his battle were pouring into the hospital. A Long Beach, Calif., man even offered one.of his eyes but the offer was not considered seriously. , , VFW Bowling Team | In State Tourney The bowling team of VFW Post 6236 competed in the annual VFW state tourney at South Bend over the weekend.
