Calif., was clocked unofficially Wednesday at a speed of 146 914 miles per hour. He has consistently turned in top speeds since the track opened for! practice May 1 in one of the John Zink roadsters. His dash, timed by the electric eye, was unofficial, however. The only ones accepted are those set

Flaherty also holds the 4-lap record and won the 1956 “500". • Meanwhile, an announcement issued in New York said “unexpected complications”, and the fact that his car is “not in optimum condition” led to Fangio's decision not to participate. The statement was issued by William D. Walther, director of research for the Dayton Steel Foundry Co., ih whose , racer Fangio passed his driver’s test here recently. Walther said tl.e car is being prepared so Fangio can drive it at Monza. , June 29. Text of the statement released in New York read: / Because of unexpected complications and due to the fact that the car. is not in the optimum condition to permit Mr. Fangio to uphold his reputation as world champion race driver, George Walther Jr., president of Dayton
I Steel Foundry Co., regrets to ahI nounce that Mr. Fangio will not be able to participate in the Indianapolis 500-mile race in the Dayton Steel Foundry car. “In accordance with the agreement reached last March with Mr. Fangio's manager, Marcello Giambertone, Fangio came to Indianapolis to try the car and to study all aspects of this important event. “In accordance with this agreement, Mr. Fangio has decided not to enter the Indianapolis race. We are presently preparing the car to place at the disposal of Mr. Fangio for the Monza race in Italy, June 29.” Fangio returned to the Speedway late Wednesday- and took a few practice laps. Earlier this' week he also took a test hop in one of the powerful, supercharged Novis and speculation rose that he would join the Lew Welch team. But Fangio remained non-com-mittal. Welch indicated the Novi seat was “open to him.” National champion Jimmy Bryan. Phoenix. Ariz., turned in three laps at better than 144 m.p.h. Wednesday. Pat O’Connor, North Vernon, Ind., had a lap at 144. W; Ray Crawford, Pasadena, Calm, , had one at 142.9, and Paul Russo turned in a lap at 142.4 in the Novi. Bryan was unimpressed by the record time. “Let’s see what, happens on the 200th lap when they have that checkered flag,” the cigar-smok-ing veteran said. “He (Elisian' may be out of gas, sitting on the sidelines/’ Medal Play Opened : In Memphis Tourney [ MEMPHIS, Tenn.

Major Leagues Trim Rosters At Deadline By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports , Writer A year ago this month young Von McDaniel was graduated from high school in his native Hollis. Okla , and joined his brother Lindy as a major leaguer with the St. Louis Cardinals for a $50,000 bonus. Today Vonxwas headed toward a minor leagu\ assignment, and the pitching hailed last season as the kids who would make St. Louis fans forget the Dean brothers, are split up. Von made quite a debut with the Cardinals last year. Although only 18, he pitched a two-hitter against the Dogers in June and a one-hitter against the Pirates in July, winding up his rookie year with a 7-5 record. » However, he had trouble with his control this spring and ap- j peared in only two games, allow- ' ing five hits in two innings of relief work. So when the time came for the Cardinals to reduce their roster to the 25 - player limit Wednesday night, Von was given his walking papers. He was optioned to Houston of the Texas League. The Cardinals also optioned rookie third baseman Benny Valenzuela to Omaha of the American Association to reach the required limit. , Among the other major leaguers who failed to survive the mid(night cut-down curfew were such 'veterans as Bobby Del Greco, Bill Taylor, Bobby Morgan, and Dixie Howell. Del Greco, an ex-N atio n a 1 League outfielder acquired by the ! New York Yankees late last sea- ! son, was optioned to Richmond of 'the International League- The ' I Yankees also sold pitcher Al Ci- ’ cotte to the Washington Senators ' and optioned shortstop Fritz Brickell to Denver of the American Association. 1 Taylor, another NL veteran, was among three players cut I loose bv the Detroit Tigers. He; was sold to Charleston while: pitchers Vito Valentlnetti and Joe Presko were optioned to the same AA club. The Chicago Cubs sold Morgan to Buffalo of the International League and optioned utility outfielder Frank Ernaga to Fort Worth of the Texas League, while Howell, a relief pitcher with the White Sox who broke into the majors with Cleveland in 1940, was sold to Indianapolis. The White Sox also optioned Don Rudolph and Ted Beard to the same club. MAJOR H i National League J' W. L. Pct. G.B. / Milwaukee 16 8 .667 — , ■ Pittsburgh W 9 -654 — !

Warren Spahn Scores 230th Win Os Career By FRED DOWN * United Press Sports Writer While they’re dusting off that Hall of Fame plaque for Stan Musial they might just as start getting another ready for Warren Spahn. A “young fella,’’ some seven months younger than the mighty “Man” from St. Louis. Spahn reached another milestone in his career Wednesday night when he pitched the Milwaukee Braves to a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was Spahn’s 230th win—a total surpassed by only f three left-handers in modern National League history. Os more Immediate interest to the Braves, of course, was the fact that they reclaimed first place when the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants, 3-2. Musial, who apparently found his first 3,000 hits the hardest, got a big jump on his fourth thousand by hitting a homer and two singles that lifted is average back tho .500Pirates Win Te Pittsburgh Pirates achieved their second six-game winning streak of the season when they beat the Cincinnati Redlegs, 5-4. and the Chicago Cubs snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 7-3 decision over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the other National League games. In the American League, the New Hork Yankees got some more of that magnificent pitching to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 1-0, ■ the Chicago White Sox downed the Kansas City Athletics, 4-1, the Boston Red Sox topped the Washington Senators, 7-5, and the 'Cleveland Indians nipped the DeI troit Tigers, 9-8. The unbeaten Spahn, who turned [37 on April 23, struck out sc ven (and yielded five hits in becoming the first six-game winner of the season. All six of his wins are complete games and he allowed a total of 12 runs in - them. Spahn himself smashed a run-scoring triple and Del Crandall and Johnny Logan homered for the big blows in the Braves’ eight-hit attack. Spahn already holds the NL record of eight 20-victory seasons by a left-hander and if he makes this No. 9 he'll stand a good chance to finish his career as the biggest lefty winner in league history. Those ahead of him are Vic Willis, 244, Carl Hubbell, 253, and ■ Eppa Rixey, 266. Musial Adds Three, Musial, who achieved his 3.000th hit on Tuesday, homered in his first appearance at the plate Wednesday' night and added twe sin* gibs for three of the Cardinals' nine hits. Vinegar Bend Mizell pitched a four-hitter as the Cardinals ran their winning streak to seven games and [climbed into fifth place. Mizell had his worst moments in the first inning when .Willie Mays was safe on a forceout, stole second and third and scored when the throw to third was wildVernon Law won his fifth i straight game for the Pirates, iwho collected 12 hits including I three each by Ted Kluszewski and : Bob Skinner. Dick Groat hit the (most important single blow for the | Pirates, however, a ' two- run I fourth - inning triple that gave I them a 5-3 lead. Cincinnati has lost five straight. Lee Walls hit a single, double and his 11th homer as the Cubs dropped the Dodgers deeper into the cellar. Walls’ homer opened a four-run Chcago seventh that cinched the decision and gave Jim Brosnan his third win. Carl Erskine was the loser for the Dodgers, who have yielded 58 runs in six straight defeats. Third Shutout for Turley Bob Turley struck out seven and pitched a four-hitter for his third shutout and the Yankees’ sixth in 20 games. Mickey Mantle doubled home Tony Kubek with the run that beat Billy O’Dell and enabled the Yankees to increase their first-place lead to four games. Dick Donovan pitched a fourhitter and batterymate Sherman Lollar homered to lead the revived White Sox to their fifth win in seven games. Donovan, who i has won two straight after an 0-3 start, yielded one hit until the eighth when Bubba Phillips’ error helped the A’s score an unearned run. Dick Gernert snapped a 5-5 tie with a homer leadjng off the ninth and the Red Sox added another run to reward Leo Kiely's six innings of shutout relief with the victory. The Senators piled up an early 5-0 lead but Bill Renna’s three-run 1 pinch homer helped the
