THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

Complete Field ForSOO-Mile Race On Friday INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Speedway resembled a junk yard today as the fastest cars in the history of the 500-mile auto race were dismantled for final inspection. The lineup for the 42nd annual event was completed late Sunday when two more cars were ousted by faster competitors for a fied average of 143.445 miles per hour, two miles faster than last year and nearly a mile quicker than the previous top of 142 507 in 1956. The fastest qualifier was Dick Rathmann, Miami, Fla., who won the pole position with an average of 145.974. Bob Christie, Grant’s Pass, Ore., was the slowest at 142.253. Last year’s slowest speed was 139.649. There were the usual dramatic developments as the trials wound up. Dempsey Wilson, Hawthorne, Calif., one of eight rookies who crashed into the lineup, and Bill Cheesbourg, Tucson, Ariz., were “bumped” by faster qualifiers but returned later in other cars and regained spots Seven Left Stranded

A brand-new car driven by Troy Ruttman, the 1952 race winner, never got going despite the fact the engine was rebuilt completely. Ruttman and six other hopefuls were left stranded at the , starting apron when time ran out. In all, six cars were eliminated by faster creations, and a seventh, driven by veteran Freddie ■ Agabashian, Walnut Creek, Calif., “bumped” itself when it failed to muster enough speed. Agabashian eliminated Wilson’s original ear Saturday, but Wilson returned in another car 24 hours later to pitch out Agabashian. The latter then tried twice to get back ino he lineup but failed. Agabashian also figured in the only accident during the weekend when his racer skidded in the northeast turn and brushed the wall. Cheesbourg, in the second Novi, was Sunday’s only other successful qualifier. He made it after his crew ripped the engine apart in the final hours of the trials and inserted a new fuel pump. No other driver got up enough speed in the face of high winds Sunday to become a contender in the $300,000 Memorial Day classic. Forty Cars Qualified Forty of the 56 cars were qualified, 19 of them Saturday. Eddie Sachs, Center Valley, Pa, la rookie last year, had the best speed, 144.660 miles per hour. Jud Larson, Hickman Mills, .Mo., another rookie, qualified the third John Zink car of Tulsa. Jokla., at 143.512—the same car in which he was “bumped” a year ago. Other newcomers in the field include A.J. Foyt, Houston. Texas: Paul Goldsmith, St. Clair Shores, Mich.; Jerry Unser, Long Beach, Calif.; George Amick, Venic, Calif-; Len Sutton, Portland, Ore., and Art Bisch, Phonix, Ariz. The car originally qualified by Bisch was eliminated Saturday, but the newcomer returned an hour later and captured another position. Also ousted Saturday were Ray Crawford, Pasadena, Calif.; Rex Easton, Springfield, 111., and Gene Hartley, Indianapolis. Six of the first 10 drivers in the money last year are back, but only 21 of the 33 fastest succeeded. Also missing are Sam Hanks, who retired after winninig last year, and Andy Linden who was fifth. Linden was injured severely in a racing crash last year. Bowling Scores Merchant League W L Pts.

Giants Wallop Pirates Twice To Boost Lead 7 By REED DOWN The San Francisco Giants used power at home to make their fast start and now they’re using pitching on the road to convince National League rivals their pennant threat is “the real thing.” The amazing Giants achieved their strongest position in more than a decade for this stage of a season Sunday when they swept the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2 and 6- and rebuilt their lead to 2% games. The Giants now have won 9 of 13 games on their current Eastern trip and have an overall 13-5 record on the road. z A crowd of 35,797 saw a near free-for-all develop in the fifth inning of the opener when Giant pitcher Ruben Gomez and Pitts burgh Manager Danny Murtaugh took menacing positions. The trouble, which started in the fourth inning when Gomez hit Bill Mazeroski with a pitched ball, was quickly stopped. Gomez, none the worse for the incident, went all the way to hurl a nine-hitter and win his fifth decision. Then Ramon Monzant, who won only three games all last season, also pitched a ninehitter for his fourth victory. Braves Split The Milwaukee Braves split a double-header with the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals divided with the Cincinnati Redlegs in other NL games. In the American League, the New York Yankees whipped the Cleveland Indians, 6-3 and 6-1, the Detroit Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 7-2 and 6-3; the Chicago White Sox won, 4-3, after bowing to the Boston Red Sox, 6-3, and the Kansas City Athletics shut out the Baltimore Orioles, 4-0. Tayior Phillips pitched a sixhitter to give the Cubs a 1-0 Victory in their opener but Bob Rush’s eight - hitter enabled the Braves to win the second game, 5-2. A walk, John Goryl’s double and a fielder’s choice produce the opener’s only run in the third inning Light - hitting Roy McMillan knocked in three runs with a single and double to lead Harvey Haddix and the Redlegs to their 7- second - game victory after Jim Brosnan, acquired from the Cubs last week, won the opener, 4-2. Ford Hurls Six-Hitter Whitey Ford pitched a six-hit-ter and Yogi Berra hit a threerun homer in the opener for the Yankees and then three - run homers by Elston Howard and Enos Slaughter helped Johnny Kucks to his third win. Ryne Duren finished up the nightcap for.
