Cincinnati And White Sox Lead By Two Gaines By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Cincinnati Redlegs and Chicago White Sox don’t hsfve much in common bit it’s an academic point today because they’re showing only their heels to their chief pennant rivals. Both opened two-game leads in the major league races Sunday, the Redlegs outslugging the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-7 and 5-4, and the White Sox scoring a 6-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Tom Acker gained credit for both Cincinnati wins although he hurled a total of 2 1-3 innings in relief. He came in to retire one batter in the ninth inning of the opener and was returned the winner when George Crowe’s fourth hit drove in Johnny Temple with the winning run in the bottom of the frame. *ln the nightcap, he allowed one unearned run in the last two innings and picked up the victory when Wally Post snapped a 4-4 tie with his eighth-inning homer. Fischer Paces Chisox Bin Fischer won his second game for the White Sox although Paul LaPalme came on to hurl the last two innings. Larry Doby knocked in two runs with a double and a homer. The New York Giants knocked the Milwaukee Braves two full games off the Redlegs’ pace with a 6-3 victory and the Brooklyn Dodgers scored seven runs in the ninth to whip the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-3, in the other National League games.

Nine Qualified I Saturday For 500-Mile Race INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—Twentyfour positions remained open today for the annual 500-mile Speedway auto race, promising a hectic final two days of qualifications next weekend. Intermittent showers washed out yesterday's time trials, and about four hours of qualifying time was' lost by rain Saturday, when only nine drivers managed to complete their four-lap 10-mile tests. Fastest of the qualifiers was handsome Pat O’Connor, North Vernon. Ind., who roared around the “Brickyard” at an average speed of 143.977 miles per hour to nail down the coveted pole spot in the Memorial Day classic. Rookie Eddie Sadis, Allentown, Pa., an alternate in last year's “500”, was the second fastest qualifier at 143.822. The others, in order of their speeds, were: Troy Ruttman, Lynnwood, Calif., ”500” champion in 1952, 142.772; Fred Agabashian, Walnut Creek, Calif., 142.102; Jimmy Reece of Indianapolis, 142 006; Ed Elisian, Oakland, Calif., 141.777; Al Keller, Greenacres, Fla., 141.398, and Elmer George, ot Indianapolis, 140.729. George is the only other “500” newcomer qualifed so far. O’Connor, one of the top favorites for the pole position, and for race honors, had rain on his side. For, half an hour after he finished his sprint, Ruttman hit an average of better than 144 mph, when a shower closed the track. The second time big Troy climbed into the cockpit of his brand new racer, he was nearly two miles an hour slower. National driving champion Jimmy Bryan, Phoenix, Ariz., also ran into hard luck. He warmed up his car late Saturday when another downpour closed the track for good. Bryan will be first in line to qualify next Saturday. However, Speedway officials said no extra qualifying time would be set aside provided the 33-car field was completed by 7 p.m. EST next Sunday. Twenty cars were lined up along the pit wall yesterday ready to qualify, but not an engine was turned and about 50,000 fans went home disappointed. Police estimated Saturday’s crowd between 115,000 arid 130,000. The powerful Novi to be driven by Paul Russo, Canoga Park, Calif., was among the roadsters that did not get a chance last weekend. Russo was the top choice for the pole position. Union Winner Over Decatur Lutheran Union defeated Decatur Lutheran, 7-4, Sunday afternoon. The line score: RHE Decatur 011 200 —4 4 4 Union 024 100—7 6 1 CaUow and Ohler; R. Thieme and M. Tateme.

Bold Ruler Is Now Favored For Belmont BALTIMORE (UP)-Bold Ruler shaped up today as the horse to beat in noct, month’s Belmont Stakes now n that trailer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons has found a way to ease the pressure on the young colt’s tender mouth. Few persons in the crowd of 32,856 at Pimlico Saturday noticed a piece of cloth tied to the bit in Bold Ruler’S mouth when the Wheatley Stable whiz galloped to a two-length victory in the Preakness Stakes. But this strip of gauze played an important role in Bold Ruler’s triumph. Because he cut his tongue as a yearling, the son of Nasrullah has been a tough horse to rate. As Fitzsimmons explained, “If you put too much pressure on his mouth, it hurts him.’’ So before the Preakness, Sunny Jim cut a narrow strip of cloth from a leg bandage and tied one end of it to the bit. Hie string circled Bold Ruler’s mouth, holding his tongue in place, and was tied on the outside of the bit. “It helped take the pressure off his mouth and put it on his jaw,” the 82-year-old trainer said. The Belmont, third jewel in the Triple Crown, is the next major objective for Bold Ruler, who blew his chance of scoring a Triple Crown 'sweep when -he was fourth in the Kentucky Derby, But his Preakness triumph smashed all chances of Iror Liege, the Kentucky Derby winner, becoming the ninth horse to win each of the three - year old classics. Iron Liege was lucky to save second place from the fast closing Inside Tract and never was able to threaten Bold Ruler, who was permitted to - un all the way with a minimum of pressure on the bit. The Preakness was the seventh stakes triumph for Bold Ruler and the winner’s purse of $65,250 increased his lifetime earnings to $396,825. i! b'l 111 Cl AMERICAN LEAGUE . W. L. Pct. G.B.

Harrison Wins In Sam Snead Tourney WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (UP)—E. J. (Dutch) Harrison, who has been a professional golfer since 1930, posted “one of the best rounds in my life’’ in his come-from-behind victory in the Sam Snead Festival tournament. The towering Harrison came through the final round Sunday with a near-record 62—eight under par—to snatch victory by a twostroke margin. Deadlocked for second place at 268 were tournament host Sam Snead and the young man who, up to the final round, had threatened to take it all—Paul Harney of Worcester, Mass. Ben Hogan, hungering to win this one in preparation for the National Open, just didn’t have it on the final round. The 45-year-old Texan, his legs tiring and his back ailing, “just didn’t play good” and had to take a 71 for a 269 total. This tied him with Peter Thomson of Melbourne, Australia. Art Houtteman Is Sold To Baltimore BALTIMORE (UP) — Art Houtteman, a hard throwing veteran of 11 big league seasons, was purchased by the Baltimore Orioles from the Cleveland Indians today for an estimated $20,000. : The transaction placed the Ortoles’bne man ©ver the 25-play-er limit and they sent Don Ferrarese, little left-handed pitcher, to Vancouver of the Pacific Coast League.
