Rain Washes Out Practice At Speedway INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Rain washed out all practice at the Indianapolis Speedway Wednesday, cheating rookies of the final day in which they could have completed driver’s tests for a crack at qualifications this weekend. The 6 p.m. deadline cut short tests started by freshmen drivers Johnny Kay, Johnny Moorhouse, who had crashed at the Speedway, and Russ Congdon. They will have to return in 1960 to finish the final phases. This curtailment didn’t help the driver shortage, either. Eight newcomers did beat the deadline, however, including Bob Cortner, 32, Redlands, Calif., who died Tuesday shortly after he was injured critically in a crash at the Speedway. Two other rookies. Bob Schroeder and Jim Packard, who also cracked up. were denied further driving at the track until they have more experience. With the final time trials coming up Saturday and Sunday, and 19 spots still open in the 33-car field, Speedway observers predicted it will take only 141 miles per hour to make the lineup. Practice time is running short, and there. are still 44 cars sitting in Gasoline Alley waiting fon to g oha*Mp W qualify. ** All activity stopped Wednesday afternoon during memorial services for Cortner at an Indianapolis funeral home. Drivers and officials of the Speedway and USAC attended the brief services. Cortner’s body will be flown to Los Angeles Friday morning. Burial will be in Redlands. Speedway officials said June 1 has been set as an alternate date for the running of the 500-mile race in the event it is rained out Memorial Day. The United States Auto Club’s benevolent association, formed last month to supervise studies to make auto racing safer and aid hardship cases among injured participants in USAC sanctioned events, met Wednesday for the first time to elect officers. Cardinals Practice On Friday Evening The Decatur Cardinals of the Pony League will hold a practice session at 6 p.m. Friday at Worthman field, weather permitting.

Eddie Machen Wins Over Reuben Vargas SAN FRANCISCO (UPD — The only thing on tap today for heavyweight prospects Eddie Machen and Reuben Vargas was a rematch. No hollering for a shot at Floyd Patterson’s world crown; nobody even asking for Pete Rademacher. Machen, 19714, won a 10-round decision over .Vargas, 189%, in a nationally televised bout Wednesday night that was supposed to send one man or the other climbing up the fistic ladder. Machen had entered the bout as the fifthranked challenger. Vargas was unranked, but in his last bout he decisioned Tony Anthony in New York. When Wednesday night’s bout was over, neither man had covered himself with glory—although there was quite a blood leeting. And both claimed after the bout that the other wasn’t “such a much’’ as a puncher. There were no knockdowns in the battle although Machen was pushed to his knees in the third and Vargas pushed down in the fifth. Vargas had the edge through the first few rounds, but Machen took command in the late sessions and consistently rocked Reuben’s head with sharp lefts. Vargas bled profusely from the nose and a cut above his right eye for the last three rounds. Referee Verne Bybee had it 98judge Downey, 96-94; judge Matt Zidich, 97-95—a1l for Machen. The United Press International had it for Machen 97-96. Paid attendance at the match was 11,172. Gross recepts totalled $57,272. MAJOR? NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. G.B.

Yankees Drop - To Last First Time Since'4o By MILTON RICHMAN United Fress International You think the Yankees got troubles? Step in a litte closer, Buster, and get a load of some real misery among baseball's other unfortunates. Like the fizzling Phillies, for example, now suffering through their worst losing streak in three years. Or bewildered Bob Friend of Pittsburgh, with his 0-7 record. He isn’t exactly cheering over that showing. Neither is Jack Harshman about his woeful 0-6 slate with Baltimore. To quote Casey Stengel: “It sure is a sad situation.” Not for everyone, though. The Cleveland Indians clung to their half-game lead in the American League with a 5-3 victory over Washington Wednesday night. The second - place White Sox stayed close to the Tribe with a 5-2 win over Baltimore; Detroit climbed out of the cellar for the first time this season and dumped the Yankees into it for the first time in 19 years by beating them, 13-6, and Kansas City moved into the first division with an 8-2 decision over Boston. Lose Eighth Straight In the National League, the Cubs handed the Phillies their eighth’ straight loss, 7-5; the Cardinals knocked Friend out in the second inning while beating the Pirates, 11-1; the Giants snapped the Braves’ six-game winning streak, 6-3, and the Reds won the second game of a twi-night doublheeader, 7-5, after the Dodgers took the opener, 8-4. Rocky Colavito and Vic Power each drove in a pair of runs to help the Indians hand the Senators their fourth straight loss. Dick Donovan’s four-hit pitching for the White Sox cooled off the Orioles, who suffered only theri second loss in the last seven games. The big story of the day, of course, was the Yankees’ hitting rock bottom for the first time at this stage of the pennant race since May 25, 1940. Detroit’s Frank Lary, a long-time. nemesis who has beaten, the Yanks 18 times in 23 tries yielded a firstinning homer to Yogi Berra and then held the world champs off until the ninth when Mickey Mantle homered and Berra connected for his second of the game. The Tigers did a little hitting, too. They raked loser Bobby Schantz and four relievers for 19 hits, including a pair of homers by Eddie Yost, who drove in six runs. Just Can’t Win Roger Maris’ 10th homer with one on in the Seventh sealed the Athletics’ victory over the Red Sox, who now have dropped seven of their last eight games.„ Ernie Banks' three-run homer for the Cubs in the eighth inning sank the floundering Phillies. The defeat stretched Philadelphia’s losing streak to its longest one since May 13, 1956, when the club snapped a 10-game string. Felipe Alou drove in three runs for the Giants with a single, double and a homer against the Braves, whose NL lead was shaved to 3% games. Joe Pignatono’s first homer of the season with two men on featured a six-run seventh inning rally that gave the Dodgers their opening game triumph over the Reds. In the nightcap, Gus Bell s three-run homer highlighted a five run third inning for the Reds after Rov McMillian had tagcd loser Carl Erskine for a two-run homer in the second inning.

Casey Stengel Gives Warning To Hurlers NEW YORK (UPD—Casey Stengel looked up at his seven American League rivals today and reminded them: “He who laughs last, laughs the mostest.” A last-place manager for the first time in 19 years, Stengel also warned his battered New York Yankee pitchers, “Some of you guys better start doin’ better or you won’t be around here very long.” The Yankees had just been tumbled into last place by a fearful, 13-6 shellacking at the hands of the Detroit Tigers but there was no sign of panic by Stengel or his world champions. In fact, Stengel was as calm and collected as if he had just signed another two-year contract at SIOO,OOO per. “I’ve been there, before,” he quipped when reminded the Yankees’ seventh defeat in 10 games and 16th in 22 nad droppd them into the cellar. "I’ve been fifth and I’ve been sixth, too.” This marked the first time since May 25, 1940, that a Yankee team was in last place and it was also the first time since Aug. 3, 1940, that any team managed by Stengel was last. Casey’s Boston Bees were in last place on the latter date. “I guess this makes pretty good readin’ around the country,” conceded Casey with a grin. “A lot of people are having a lotta fun but they better remember the fella who laughs last laughs ttfip mostest.” The grin faded, however, when he talked about the pitchers who were walloped for 19 hits totaling 32 bases in Wednesday’s rout. "You can’t do anything when your pitching gets hit like that,” he said. “They just gotta start gettin’ guys out or we’ll get pitchers who can.” “We just can’t seem to do anything right,” said Yankee catcher Yogi Berra, snaking his head in the clubhouse. “I even hear our publicity man (Bob Fischel) has got laryngitis.”
