Speedway Set ForSOOMile Classic Race INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI) — Speedway drivers get a final word of caution today in the last preliminary before Saturday’s 43rd annual 500 mile dash against death in an effort to prevent the chase from adding a 51st victim to the track fatality list. There will be no cars running on the 2$ mile oval track today and all drivers with their pit crews must show up at 1 p.m. c.d.t. to get a lecture on racing rules from chief steward Harlan Fengler. Fengler said he’d be stiffer than ever in his annual lecture to warn the pilots that driving regulations would be strictly enforced and that violations might cost victory, which would mean about half of the total purse of a record $300,000 plus. Pace Lap Tricks Particularly he’ll warn against tricks on the pace lap and the first lap of the race in an effort to prevent any repetition of last year’s debacle in which the first three cars made one more pace lap than the rest of the field and barely got into position when the race began. The goof was blamed partially in some quarters for the first lap crack-up, involving 15 Cars, in which Pat O'Connor was killed. The chances- were against an-

other mixup since last year's starting formula was dropped and this time the 11 rows of 3 cars each will make a parade lap in their proper alignment and then will turn the pace lap behind the pace car before the race begins. Weather Outlook Favorable Other than the drivers’ meeting there was no activity scheduled on the track. Instead the asphalt, and brick surface was slated for a final sweeping down to eliminate all debris that might interfere with the near 200 mile per hour speeds some pilots will hit on the long stretches, and pit crews might get brief warmups on procedures. The weather outlook was favorable, although the temperature might soar into the high 80's before the finish. Though showers were expected, forecasters anticipated they would hold off until after the race, and clouds were expected to cut the heat from the sun on the pilots.

Hoyl Wilhelm Blanks Yanks On Four Hits By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Gentlemen, we give you H<\’t Wilhelm—except that Paul Rich-, ards says he can’t be had “even for a million dollars.” Money isn’t everything and right now Wilhelm is to the pen-nant-minded Baltimore Orioles. No wonder! The 35-year-old knuckleballer has won seven straight without a loss. He has a spectacular 1.12 earned run average, the capacity to pitch every third day if necessary, and the confidence that no one can hit him when he’s right Wilhelm’s latest effort was a 5-0 victory over the Yankees Thursday night. The triumph boosted Baltimore to win 1% games of first place in (he American League and extended Wilhelm’s streak against the Yanks to 21 1-3 consecutive scoreless innings. “There comes a time," said the elated Richards after the game, “when a player is worth more money tc a ball club than anyone could possibly pay for him. I wouldn’t consider one million dollars for Wilhelm.” Beats Yanks Fourth Time Given a chance to start by Richards, the veteran National League castoff has now beaten the Yankees Tour straight times During that span, he has allowed the world champions a total of two runs while pitching a no-hitter and a one-hitter against them. Ralph Terry, obtained from Kansas City earlier in the week, faced Wilhelm Thursday night and hurled well although charged with his fifth defeat. The Orioles nicked him for three runs in four hits during the first seven innings, then picked up their final runs when Gene Woodling hit a tworun homer off reliever Bobby Shantz in the eighth. Kansas City cut Cleveland’s league lead to half a game by beating the Indians, 7-2; Boston defeated Washington. 3-1, and the Detroit-Chicago game was postponed because of rain. In the National League, Bob Friend of Pittsburgh blanked Milwaukee, 3-0; San Francisco climbed to within two games of the first-place Braves by beating St. Louis, 5-4; Philadelphia nipped Cincinnati, 4-3, and Chicago licked Los Angeles, 7-5. Knuckleballer Beats Tribe Southpaw Bud Daley, another knuckleballer who got a chance to start this year, pitched the A’s to their win over the Indians. Daley scattered 10 hits and drove in three runs as he posted his third victory. Bill Tuttle collected four of KC’s 14 hits, including a homer. Rocky Colavito hit his 13th for Cleveland. —Jim (Mudcat) Grant was the loser. Vic Wertz’ two-run homer in the eighth inning along with Frank Sullivan's two-hit pitching enabled the Red Sox to down the Senators. The only run Washington scored was unearned, but Sullivan had no kick coming because all three Boston runs off loser Pedro Ramos also resulted from errors. The worm finally turned for Friend, loser of his first seven games, as he posted his first victory of the season with a fine four-hit shutout over the Braves. The Pirates scored all their runs off Joey Jay in the fifth inning. Danny Kravitz drove in two of the three runs in that frame with a looping single. Milwaukee didn’t get a runner past second against Friend until the ninth. Win In Eighth The Giants won their game game from the Cards in the eighth inning when Leon Wagner tripled and Daryl Spencer produced the winning run with a sacrifice fly. Stu Miller, second of three San Francisco pitchers, recorded his third vitory. St. Louis jumped in front 4-1 but the Giants routed loser Lindy McDaniel and tied the score with a three - run rally in the fifth. Ray Semproch snuffed out a ninth-inning rally and preserved; Jim Owens’ third victory in the Phillies' truimph over the .Reds. Wally Post's double scored Ed Bouchee with what proved to be the winning run in the top of the ninth. Frank Robinson clouted his 12th homer for Cincinnati and Gus Bell his seventh. Joe Nuxhall was the losing pitcher. Walt Moryn’s single -with the, bases loaded in the ninth broke a 5-5 tie and produced the winning runs for the Cubs in their game with the Dodgers. Loser Art Fowler set the stage for Moryn’s blow, when he loaded the bases on three walks. Ernie Banks' 12th homer with two on in the seventh gave Chicago a 5-4 lead but Los Angeles tied the score in the bottom of the seventh when Jim Gilliam doubled ot score Duke Snider. Dave Hillman struck out 11 men in 7 2-3 innings after relieving starter Seth Morehead and was credited with his third triumph. Gil Hodges hit his sixth homer for the Dodgers.
