Jim Rathman Nears Record , Al Speedway INDIANAPOLIS <UPI) — Jim Rathmann fired up his sleek roadster at the Indianapolis Speedway late Monday, and then took the second fastest ride in Speedway history as he flew over the bricks at an unofficial 147.06 miles per hour. The highflyirg Floridian, who has been runnerup twice in the 500-mile race and last year won the Monza 500 mile race, charged around the oval at a speed just under the record 148 set last'year by Ed Elisian. Rathmann dipped off a lap at 146.5 before his scorcher came ad he was passing up everything on the track,* and there was plenty of traffic at the time. Railbirds have been speculating about a 150 mile an hour lap for the last few years, and most observers feel it tan be done if the conditions are right and somebody is brave enough. Rathmann prompted the opinion that he might be brave enough when he said the track was “a little slippery” in the north turn but he believes he can find another few miles an hour. Another Rookie Suspended Bob Schroeder of Chester, 111., became the second rookie in two days to be slapped with a suspension. Schroeder will have to sit out two days for disregarding track officials’ instruction. He was charged with being toe high in the southeast turn while oj the 130 mile an hour phase of his driver's test, which caused him to loop his car. Observers said Schroeder kicked up a lot of loose sand as he spun around then continued cm into the pits. Traffic was still heavy despite intermittent rain and some strong breezes. The track was not opened until 3 o'clock, but as many as If cars were out for a few practice laps. Dempsey Wilson was touring the oval in his long-nosed Novi when, as so often happens, i’ broke down and he had to be towed into the garage. He was rolling down the main straightaway when die supercharger blew up. Officials at Robert Long Hospital reported this morning Jerry Unser was still in critical condition from the burns he received in a cracltup at the Speedway May 2. Unsert In Bad Shape Dr. C.B. Bohner, Speedway physician, said Monday! afternoon Unser's condition, “has deteriorated in the last 24 hours and he

is not responding to treatment.” He has developed uremia and has failed to respond to treatment with an artificial kidney. The Lakewood, Calif., driver suffered third-degree burns over 35 per cent of his body when his car crashed during a practice lap and burst into flames. Veteran Duane Carter, who is returning to racing after a fouryear layoff, completed the 130 mile an hour phase of his familiarization test Monday. He hit as high as 138 miles per hour before calling it a day. Only four of the 61 cars entered for the Memorial Day classic have failed to arrive at the track. Two cars have been wrecked, and Un- ■ ser’s car was withdrawn. The unusually good weather has created one of the busiest practice periods in the last few years. With only 10 days gone in the prequalification session, 40 cars have ziped around the 2% mile ovalp in ractice. Eddie Sachs of Center Valley, Pa., turned a lap at 143.4 and Tony Bettenhausen of Tinley Park, 111., was clocked at 144.3. Both times are unofficial.

Young Oriole Hurls Fourth Win Os Season

By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Paul Richards knows a little Greek; like Phi Beta Kappa, but he also knows that Baltimore’s Greek fraternity may supply the key for the club's highest finish in history. The three Greek players who are keeping the Orioles up around the top of the American League are Milt Pappas, Gus Triandos and B*Hy Loes. All of them had a hand in Monday night’s 7-3 victory over Washington which moved Baltimore back into a virtual second-place tie with Chicago, only a game-and-a-half behind first-place Cleveland. ' Pappas celebrated his 20th birthday by posting his fourth straight \dctory without a defeat. Triandos" contributed Seventh home run of the season and Loes came to Pappas' aid in the seventh inning and succeeded in “saving” his fourth game for the Quotes in the space of eight days. Between them Pappas and Loes held the Senators to five hits. It was the only game scheduled in the American League. In the National League, Los Angeles outlasted Philadelphia, 11-10; San Francisco smothered Pittsburgh, 14-4, and first-place Milwaukee beat Chicago, 8-1. Cincinnati and St. Louis were not scheduled. Norm Lacker's squeeze bunt with the bases loaded in the ninth inning scored Don Demeter with the winning run lor the Dodgers after the Phillies had led 9-3 at one point. Ed Bouchee’s two-run homer highlighted a six-run rally in the fifth inning that gave Philadelphia its. six-run bulge. Backed by a 20-hit attack. Jack Sanford coasted to his fifth victory of the season in the Giants one-sided triumph over the Pirates. Bob Schmidt, Willie Kirkland, Jackie Brandt and Sanford each collected three hits. Schmidt driving in four runs with two doubles and a single. Sanford gave up 10 hits, two of which wore homers by Bob Skinner and Dick Stuart. Bennie . Daniels started for Pittsburgh and was routed in the fourth when tLe Giants rallied for four runs" Johnny Logan’s second homer of the campaign and Eddie Mathews’ 12th helped the Braves to their victory over the Cubs. Leading 3-1, the Braves broke the game open in the eighth when they sent 10 men to the plate and scored five runs. Del Crandall doubled two of the runs home and Mickey Vernon's pinch single drove in two more. Bob Buhl pitched seven innings for Milwaukee to gain his first triumph.

Arnold Palmer Wins Oklahoma City Tourney OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) Arnold Palmer’s stunning 15-under-par victory in the $25,000 Oklahoma City Open Monday demonstrated that a top-flight golfer can style winning scores on any kind of course. The Ligonier, Pa., power slugger fashioned a final round 69 and a total of 273 on the marshy limited acreage of Twin Hills Country Club, to win his 13th major tournament, including the coveted Masters. Palmer, 29, in a frantic finish wrested the $3,500 first prize money from Bob Goalby, Crystal River, Fla., by a scant two strokes. Early leader '• Tommy Jacobs, Whittier, Calif., slipped to third place with a total of 276, after three-putting the 14th green. Goalby picked' up a $2,300 cheek; Jacobs got one for, SI,BOO. As Goalby and Palmer turned the front nine, Goalby was five under par after nine holes. Both had plopped in 15-foot putts on the par-five Bth hole for eagles. But Goalby gained another shot with a birdie on the eighth hole, as Palmer took a par. Palmer got back into the game on the 10th hole. He corrected an errant putter for a birdie three. Goalby used five shots. It was touch and go until the 17th. when Palmer poked in a 40-footer for a birdie three. Goalby missed his six-foot putt.
