Aaron Keeping UpTonidPace To Lead Braves By FRED DOWN * United Prtw International Hank Aaron’s bat is the hottest thing In baseball today unless you’re talking about Joe Gordon’s ears, Aaron stretched his hitting streak to 21 games and kept his batting average at .484. Sunday when the Milwaukee Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-3. Hammerin’s Hank broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run homer in the fifth Inning and also contributed a single to Milwaukee’s 14-hit attack. Such devastating clutch hitting has the Braves 2»4 games in front in the National League race—by far their best position at this stage of a pennant race in three years. They trailed after 29 games by 2% in 1958- and by two games in 1957. Sticks With Pitcher But you coud light a couple of matches on Gordon’s ears because of the job the second-guessers are doing cm him in the aftermath of the Cleveland Indians’ Sunday doubleheader split with the Baltimore Orioles. Gordon came under fire for sticking with rookie reliever Jim Perry in an 8-7, 11inning opening-game loss even though the Indians rebounded to take the nightcap, 8-3, and retain their half-game lead in the American League. Gordon stuck with Perry, recent hero of a Cleveland victory over the New York Yankees, even though he served up a three-run ninth inning homer to Gus Triandos that tied the score. Then, with relief ace Dick Brodowski ready in the bullpen, he stuck with Perry again as he filled the bases with two hits and a walk and hten walked Bill Klaus to force in the wnining run. Chisox Streak Ends The San Francisco Giants took • over second place by beating the Cincinnati Reds, 9-1, and the Pittsburgh Pirates split with the ' Chicago Cubs in the other National League games. The Pirates won the first game, 5-4, but the Cubs came back to take the night- ' cap, 7-6. The Chicago White Sox beat the ’ Washington Senators. 10-7, after their eight-game winning streak ' was ended, 4-2, in the opener; the ' Yankees won their opener, 3-2, > but were humiliated, 10-0 by the ’ Kansas City Athletics id the sec " - ond game and tire Boston f Sox beat the Detroit Timers, 1(PI, > in other American League activity. __ r . A crowd of 49,347 at Los Anj geles saw Lew Burdette pitch his . seventh complete game and win his. sixth decision with an eighthitter. Batterymate Del Crandall, - playing before Fullerton. Calif., townfolk, homered and had three singles for the Braves. Commit Seven Errors Perry’s sloppy pitching was the climax of a real “married men vs Single men”'sandlot game in which the Indians made three errors, the Orioles made four and only seven of 15 runs were earned. Vic Power drove in three runs with a single and triple in the nightcap. . , Andre Rodgers hit two homers and Willie Mays had a homer and a double to lead a 10-hit San Francisco attack that enabled StuMiller to breeze to his second victory. . ~ Bill Mazeroski drove in three runs with two homers to help Pittsburgh’s Verti Law to. fate thud victory and Ernie Banks hit his ninth as Chicago’s Glen Hobbie picked up his fifth triumph. KiUebrew Homers Twice Pedro Ramos ended the White Sox’ streak with a five-hitter with the aid of homers by Jim Lemon and Reno Bertoia but Washington couldn’t manage a sweep in the nightcap although Harmon JCillebrew belted his 13th and 14th homers. Bob Grim pitched, a twfrhitier and Dick Williams, slarrwud,’a three-run homer for the after the Yankee? pulled out the opener with a three-run ninthinning rally.

—r 14 Qualified As Speedway Over Weekend INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — More ; than half the field still was to be filled for the Memorial Day 500mile auto race, but the toll today already read one driver dead and two cars demolished. Os the 33 open spots, 19 had yet to be taken. So far, only 14 drivers had qualified. Jerry Unser, 26, Long Beach, Calif., who drove only threefourths of a lap in actual competition here, became the 49th fatality in 50 years of racing at the . famous “brickyard” when he died Sunday of burns sustained in a > fiery crash May 2. Unser, in a coma for several

r days, also crashed over the wall t in the spectacular firsWap wreck- » age which killed Pat O’Connor in I last year’s race. Little Johnny Thomson, Boyertown, Pa., was the fastest week--1 end qualifier, averaging 145.908 miles per hour Saturday for the four-lap test to win the pole posi- ‘ tion. The driver-farmer also roared to 1 a one-lap qualifying record of ■ 146.532 m.p.h., shattering the I mark of hung up by the I suspended Ed Elisian last year. Twelve cars were qualified Saturday on a cool and windy day, but only two. m&du.4t. S» nday as u’Jnds, then' rant, ctit into the-six--hour time trial period. Tony Crashes Veterans Tony Bettenhausen, and Johnnie Tolan figured in weekend crashes. Bettenhausen, the national driving king, escaped miraculously with nothing worse than a bloody nose when he lost control at high speed* on the back stretch of the 21s mile course in practice Saturday, hit .the outside wall, then plowed into an inside track guard rail and overturned. Bettenhausen was saved from possible death by the car’s roll bar. His helmet and safety belt. “The only thing that hurts are my feelings,” he quipped after his release from the track hospital. It was the 28th time in his racing career that he was upside down. His car, the same in which he finished* fourth in last year’s “500”, was wrecked —as was Unser’s on the second day of the practice period. Tough Tony isn’t through, however. Twenty-four hours after his crash, he was announced as driver of a new car originally assigned to Rex Easton. Tolan, a former national midget champion, also escaped unhurt when he lost control Sunday while trying to qualify and hit the wall twice going into the southeast turn. Two Rookies Made It Other weekend qualifiers were Eddie Sachs, Jim and Dick Rathmann, Bobby Grim, Rodger Ward, Bob Veith, Eddie Johnson, Gene Hartley, Don Branson, Johnnie Boyd, Duane Carter, Jimmy Daywalt, and Jack Turner—the last

two Sunday. Grim, at an averagespCed of 144.225, was -the fastest rookie in Speedway history. Branson was the only other newcomer to qualify so far. Eight unsuccessful attempts to qualify were made, including one Sunday by defending “500” champion Jimmy Bryan. He was flagged by his crew because of insufficient speed. The average speed of the 14 cars of 144.063 compared with the 33-car average of 143.445 last year. In another weekend development, 1950 race winner Johnnie Parsons announced his retirement from big-car competition. Parsons, who made an unsuccessful qualifying attempt Saturday, said he will restrict his racing in the future to midgets, sprints and stock cars. “I would have to bluff my way through four qualifying laps,” he said. “It wouldn’t be fair to my crew and car owner." An estimated 140,000 fans witnessed the weekend speed trials.

Royal Orbit Wins In Preakness Race : i NEW YORK (UPD-Royal Or- , bit, the Preakness winner, has ' safely bedded down at Balmont ' Park today with’his handlers now confident the colt finally had reached peak form. ( After the spine-tingling run at 1 Pimlico Saturday which carried Royal Orbit from dead last to a four-length triumph, their optimism appeared justified. It will be tested fully when Royal Orbit returns to competition in the Peter Pan Handicap on June 6 and a week later shoots for the third jewel in racing’s Triple Crown—the Bemont Stakes. Only bad racing luck denied this copper - coated speed demon a clean sweep of the golden diadem, they now firmly are convinced. Royal Orbit finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby behind Tomy Lee, Sword Dancer and First Landing. Tomy Lee was not in the Preakness and for all the chance they had once Royal Orbit started to run, Sword Dancer and First Landing weren’t either. “Every time Royal Orbit tried to move in the Derby he was stopped,*’ 'trainer Reggie Cornell said. “He got hit pretty good on the first turn and clobbered again on the second. He never got loose until the eighth pole and he was only beaten about three lengths. “The chart says Royal Orbit was 15 lengths out of it at the five-eighths’ pole but I'll sear it was closer to 20. Look how many lengths he made up without a chance to run. Here* he did." Major League Leaders United Press International National League Player & Club G. AB R. H. Pct.
