Ben Hogan Leading Round Robin Meet NEW ROCHELLE. N.Y. (UP)— Ben Hogan, who has a new, putting grip to go with his old desire for victory, takes a 12-point lead into today’s second and third Round Robin golf tournament. Hogan, switching to a “baseball” putting grip after sweating out three-putt greens in the Masters Tournament, fired a four-un-der-par 67 Thursday to take a sizeable lead In the Round Robin with plus 20 points. Each entrant earns a plus or minus rating by matching medal scores with other members of his foursome. Hogan, who is sharpening up to bid for his fifth National Open next month, whipped Mike Fetchik, Ed Furgol and Gene Littler in the opening round. Hogan's plus 20 put him 12 points ahead of Sam Snead and Australia’s Peter Thomson, who were tied for second with plus eights. Snead and Thomson opened with 68s. Their scores gave them each eight points against a 70 by Billy Casper and a 74 by Souchak. Dow Finsterwald was in fourth place with plus seven after shooting a 69 in the first round. Doug Ford, the Masters champion, was in fifth place with a plus six after the first round. . . _ Hanks Breaks Record To Win 500-Mile Race INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UP) — Smiling Sam Hanks, who almost gave up last year when he finished second, “thanked God and his prayers" today for giving the Indianapolis Memorial Day 500mile automobile race "a final try.” For on that final try, he won the race and announced definitely it would be his last. "I came awfully close to calling it quits last year when I finished second,” Hanks, a 6-foot, 160pounder, said. “I figured that if I couldn't do it in 11 tries, why try again. Then 1 decided to try it once more—and win or lose this was going tb be it And now that I’ve won. this is it. I've had it.” That "it” came in his 12th try for this biggest' prize' fa’-Ameri-ca’s automobile racing history. When he lost out last year by 20.47 seconds to Pat Flaherty he thought that “is as close as I’ll ever come.” But he gave it that one more try ahd this time he won out by 17.35 seconds. 1..-- i Second Closest Finish It was the second closest finish in the history of the 41-year-old race. That 20.47 seconds he had finished behind Flaherty last year had been the second closest. The closest was the : 02.16 seconds by which Wilbur Shaw beat Ralph Hepburn back in 1937. Not only did the crew - cut 42-year-old Hanks set a new speed record in winning the race—which is only one year younger ch is mngy mne year younger than he is—but he also was sure to surpass the record money winning total of $93,819 which Flaherty picked,up last year. By winning the race, he picked up the first place jackpot of $20,000. And by leading in most of the 200 laps he picked up another s2l,lso—at $l5O a lap. That made his total $41,150 and when endorsements and all the other financial rewards which go to the winner come in, he should be well over the SIOO,OOO mark. As for speed, Hanks raced the 2% mile brick oval track, with a holiday crowd of about 125.000 looking on, in the record speed of 135.601 miles an hour. The old record was 130.840 set by the late Bill Vukovich in 1954. As a matter of fact, all of the first 10 finishers in Thursday's race passed that crwMvi Jim Rathmann of Miami, Fla., was second; Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix. Ariz.. third; Paul Russo of Gardena, Calif., fourth; Jimmy Recce of Indianapolis, fifth; Johnnie Boyd of Fresno. Calif., sixth; Marshall Teague of Daytona Beach, Fla., seventh; Pat O’Connor, eighth. Accidents At Minimum Only 17 of the 33 sleek racing cars in the race finished, but there were only four accidents. That was a record for this gruelling grind, too. . . The two former champions in the field, Troy Ruttman of Lynnwood, Calif., and Johnnie Parsons of Van Nuys, Calif., never figured. Ruttman, the 1952 winner, was forced to drop out early when his car broke a piston rod. Parsons, who got in on a pass when Dick Rathmann of Indianapolis was unable to drive because of an eye injury, finished far down in the field. Hanks never was out of contentention. O'Connor, in the. No. 1 pole position, led for thp first lap and then Ruttman took over. It was not until the 36th lap, at 2% miles to the lap, that Hanks took over. From that time on. he led most of the rest of the way. Hanks' sleek, bright yellow Telond Exhaust Special was the lightest car in'the race. He made' three pit stops.
