Pal O'Connor Hits Speedway Season's Best INDIANAPOLIS <UP> - Handsome Pat O’Connor, North Vernon, Ind., speed demon who specializes in tire tests for race cars, has boosted the unofficial season record in tune-ups for the 500-mile classic to 144 miles an hour. He whizzed around the Speedway oval with ease late Friday, eclipsing the previous “season best” of 142.4 by former Memorial Day race winner Troy Ruttman earlier this week. O’Connor's blazing speed on only the second day around the 24 mile brick and asphalt track in a new four-cylinder roadster indicated he was a "hot” favorite for the pole position when time trials open next Saturday. O'Connor, seeking only his fourth starting berth May 30. also is a strong favorite to win this year's gasoline derby. He knows every inch of the sprawling race course by virtue of having driven thousands of miles of tire tests. He returned from Monza only a few days ago where he also drove tire tests in preparation for the Italian version of the “500” last June 29. Meanwhile, the much-publicized Novi cars to be driven by Paul Russo and Tony Bettenhausen were expected to make their debuts with shakedown runs today, weather permitting. The Novis, developing 600 horsepower, are the most powerful racers entered. Russo was leading the race in one of them last year when he crashed in the southwest turn. Jack Turner, Seattle. Wash., figured in the season’s third crack-up Friday, but escaped unhurt. His car, also new, got into trouble in the northeast turn and smacked into the wall tail first. Only superficial damage resulted, and Turner climbed out unhurt. Three more rookies passed their drivers’ tests Friday — George Amick, Venice. Calif.; Don Edmunds, Anaheim, Calif., and Elmer George, Indianapolis. Track Sectional Is Postponed To Today Heavy rainfall forced postponement of the sectional track meet, scheduled to be run at Fort Wayne North Side Friday night. It has been rescheduled for 3 o’clock this afternoon.

Score's Future May Be Answered Today CLEVELAND (UP)—The question of whether Herb Score will be able to resume his brilliant pitching career with the Cleveland Indians may be answered today. Physicians were hopeful of making a complete examination of the young hurler’s right eye, which was injured Tuesday night when Score was hit in the face by a sizzling liner from the bat of New York shortstop Gil McDougald. Since the accident, doctors issued cautious predictions that Score would retain his sight in the eye unless unexpected complications developed. The doctors, headed by Cleveland eye specialist Dr. Charles Thomas, admitted that a definite decision concerning Score’s eye could not be made until a full examination. That was prevented by a severe hemorrhage which occurred when the ball hit him. The doctors late Friday issued a medical report saying •‘Things continue to look very encouraging, and we may know much more about the story Saturday.” They also said they had postponed indefinitely the taking of X-rays to determine the extent of any possible damage to bones surrounding the injured eye.
