21 Qualified For Speedway As Record Set INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — An even dozen positions remained today to be filled for the Memorial Day 500-mile auto race, with Parnell! Jones giving his rivals a new goal to shoot at—the first 150-miles-per-hour 1 aps in the Speedway’s history. The 28-year-old Tortance, Calif;, speedster, co-rookie of the year in 1961, was the swiftest of Saturday’s 19 qualifiers with four solid 150 m.p.h. laps around the famed oval to gain the pole position, and nobody came close to his records Sunday when only two drivers rode out successful sprints in heat end gusty winds. This leaves next weekend to fill the field, with nearly 50 crews itching for a crack at the holiday chase worth an estimated $425,000. All told, three drivers smashed Jim Hurtubise’s one-lap record of 149.601 m.p.h. set two years ago— Jones, Len Sutton and Rodger Ward—and those three plus Bobby Marshman and A. Foyt, the defending "500” champion, wrecked Hurtubise’s 4-lap mark of 149.056. But only Parnelli, 12th in his maiden ridet here last year, hit the long-sought magic 150 m.p.h. milestone. His first lap of 150.729 also was his fastest and he averaged 150.370 for the four tours around the 2ft-mile tract to write his name into the record books in gold. Ward, Indianapolis, who finished first, second and third in the last three races, was the second-fast-est at 149.371 m.p.h., and Marshman, of Pottstown, Pa., was next at 149.349 m.p.h. to round out the first-row starters on Memorial Day. „ Foyt, Houston, Tex., was the only other former winner to make the field with a clocking of 149.074, the fifth fastest. Ten qualifiers Saturday smashed last year’s record pole clip of 147.481 mph by Eddie Sachs, who ran into a streak of misfortune and was forced to surrender the No. 1 starting spot without a fight. . Sachs lost a wheel in practice early Saturday and his crew failed to get the cor into top running condition for a successful qualification run. Eddie Johnson, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, qualified at an average of 146.592 mph Sunday and the only other successful second-day run was made by Bob Veith, Fort Bragg. Calif., at 146.157. Both made it on their second attempts., Norman Hall, 35, Los Angeles, 10th as a rookie last year, crashed twice in the southwest turn—once Saturday and in another car Sunday—and wound up in the hospital with a fractured skull >and other injuries in the only serious weekend wreck. His Saturday crash was in practice, but he was on his first lap of a qualification run Sunday when he lost control, spun and hit the wall. He was listed in “fairly good” condition. The first 21 qualifiers averaged 147,660 mph, compared with last year's average of 145.302 for the 33 starters. Other Saturday qualifiers were: Sutton, Portland. Ore.. 149.328; Shorty Temple m Jn, Seattle, 149.050; Jim McElreath, Arlington, Tex 149.025; Dan Gurney. Costa Mesa, Calif., 147.886; Roger McCluskey. Tucson, Ariz., 147.759; Bud Tingelstad. Dayton, Ohio, 147.753; Don Branson, Champaign, Hl., 147.312. , . . Don Davis, Phoenix, Ariz., 147 209; Dick Rathmann. Roselle, Hl 147.161; Paul Russo.

Indianapolis, 146.09 Z, Dempsey Wilson, Lawndale, Calif., 146 086, and Duane Carter, Indianapolis, 145.867. McElrath, Gurney and Hulse were the only rookies to qualify. Two former “500” champs, Troy Ruttman and Jim Rathmann, made unsuccessful qualification attempts Sunday.

Auburn Is Winner Os NEIC Golf Meet The Auburn Red Devils won their second consecutive Northeastern Indiana conference golf championship Saturday, winning the annual meet, held at the Auburn Country club. The event was limited to nine holes because of a heavy thunderstorm. Mark Shaw, of Auburn, was the medalist with a par 36. The Decatur Yellow Jackets placed fourth in the field of nine schools entered, with a score of 187 points. Auburn won the meet with a 154 score. Fort Wayne Concordia was second with 182, Elmhurst third with 183 and Decatur fourth with 187- Other scoring; Garrett 190, Angola 191, Kendallville 193, Columbia City 198, and Bluffton 206. Thane Custer was Decatur’s low scorer with a 43. Jim Hoffman shot a 45, Zane Zwick a 47 and Tom Baxter a 52. Johnson Wins By Decision Over Jones PHILADELPHIA (UPI) —Manager Pat Olivieri confers today with his attorney and a representative of a German fight promoter on a possible contract for Harold Johnson, light heavyweight champion, to defend against Gustav (Bubi) Scholtz in Germany next month. But Johnson, who won almost universal recognition as champion Saturday night with a unanimous, 15-round decision over Doug Jones of New York, wanted no part of it. "If Olivieri signs for any bouts, he better be ready to fight them himself,” the champion said. Olivieri was equally adamant that Johnson would not carry out his plans of meeting heavyweight Zora Folley in New York on June 9. The manager pointed out that he has a court injunction preventing Johnson from signing for any bouts without his (Olivieri’s) approval. “If he doesn’t fight for me, he isn’t going to fight at all,” Olivieri said. The manager hoped, however, that his attorney, Thomas McBride, could convince Johnson’s attorneys to persuade the boxer to agree to any contract reached with Fred Sommers of Los Angeles. Sommers represents German promoter Fritiz Gretzschel, who offered Johnson $50,000 to defend against Scholz in Germany next month. George Gainford, hired by Johnson as manager after he had broke with Olivieri in January, agreed to the fight but Gretzschel wired Sommers that only Olivieri’s signature would make a contract valid. If Johnson doesn’t agree to Olivieri’s bouts, his next opponent probably won’t be decided until after the fighter and the manager have their day in court on June 4. On that date, Johnson's suit and Olivieri’s counter-suit are to be argued. Johnson petitioned the courts here to nullify his contract with Olivieri and to make the manager account for all the purses won by the fighter under Olivieri’s six years as manager. Olivieri countered with a suit for $62,000 which he claimed Johnson owes him for money paid the fighter or his creditors over and above that earned by Johnson in his fights.

Indians Whip Yankees Pair To Take lead By JOE SARGIS UPI Sport* Writer Chuck Essegian, the chunky outfielder with the musical name, came to the Cleveland Indians for a song, and from the way he’s rapping the ball of late it's the prettiest tune heard anywhere by manager Mel McGaha. In fact, Essegian, who wasn’t counted on for regular duty when the season began, is wielding such a hot bat that he is making it downright difficult tor the platoonconscious McGaha to keep him out of the starting lineup. Chuck, a failure with five different major league clubs before the Indians got him from the Kansas City Athletics a year ago for pitcher Julius Grant, hit a key home run and jingle Sunday to lead Cleveland to a 6-4 and 8-5 sweep over the New York Yankees and into first place in the American League. Essegian had five hits in eight at-bats during the long afternoon to boost his batting average to .375, his home run total to four and his runs batted in to 11 in 17 games. Wins Sixth Game Dick Donovan went all the way in the opener to register his sixth victory without a loss. It also was the veteran right-hander’s second win of the year over the Yankees, whom the Indians now have beaten five times in seven games. The second-game victory went to Barry Latman, second of three Cleveland pitchers. The Indians tagged Whitey Ford for nine of their 11 hits in the opener, John Romano hitting a three-run homer right at the start to make things easier for Donovan. Essegian hit his homer in the fifth after the Yankees had cut the deficit to 3-2. Jerry Kindall’s three-run homer in the second game started the Indians on a comeback after the Yankees had built up a 5-0 lead. Essegian’s sixth inning single broke a 5-5 tie and Cleveland went on from there to nail down the second game and take a halfgame lead in the AL. The Minnesota Twins routed the Kansas City Athletics, 10-3; the Chicago White Sox rallied for seven runs in the eighth inning to beat the Los Angeles Angels, 156; the Baltimore Orioles beat the Washington Senators, 3-2, on a disputed homer, and the Detroit Tigers nipped the Boston Red Sox, 6-J5, in other AL games. Giants Win Again In the National League, the first-place San Francisco Giants downed the Houston Colts, 7-2; the Los Angeles Dodgers took advantage of loose St. Louis play to beat the Cardinals, 4-3; the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-4; the Milwaukee Braves nipped the New York Mets, 3-2, and the Chicago Cubs climbed out of the cellar by beating the Philadelphia Phillies twice, 8-7 and 8-5. Vic Power drove in five runs with a grand-slam homer and a single to lead the third-place Twins to their win over Kansas City. Rookie Joe Bonikowski went the route in his first major league start. Power’s blast came off Dan Pfister in the seventh, but A’s starter Norm Bass, chased in the sixth, was the loser. The White Sox sent 12 men to the plate in the eighth to break a 5-5 tie and make their win over the Angels a rout. Los Angeles used four pitchers in an effort to stop the White Sox in the eighth. Bob Botz, who finished up, also was raked for three more runs in the ninth. Floyd Robinson had four RBl’s on a double and single. Dorn Zanni pitched 2-3 of an inning and got the victory. Hits Two Homers Dick Brown belted two home runs and a single and Dick McAuliffe hit a three-run double to pace the Tigers as Dick Regan picked up his third victory. Earl Robinson’s ni n t h-inning homer, which touched off a dispute over whether it was fair or foul, was the margin of difference in Baltimore’s victory. Brooks Robinson also homered for the Orioles and Jimmy Piersail hit one for the Senators. Jack Sanford, who had a shutout after eight innings, gave up only six Houston hits in registering his fourth victory for the Giants, who remained four games ahead of the Dodgers in the NL race. Orlando Cepeda and Jim Davenport each got three hits to pace the San Francisco attack. The Dodgers, held to only two hits by-Larry Jackson through the seventh, scored all their runs the following inning. A two-run error by the usually reliable Ken Boyer opened the way. John Roseboro’s sacrifice fly accounted for the winning run and handed Jackson his fourth loss against three wins. Los Angeles used three pitchers in the last two innings to hold the lead as starter Johnny Podres picked up his third win. Pinson Paces Reds Vada Pinson, with a homer (his 11th) and triple, and Frank Robinson, with a two-run homer, paced the Reds, who beat the Pirates for the third straight time.

Four Persons Dead In Italian Crash MILAN, Italy (UPI) - Four persons were killed and thirty-six others injured near her Sunday when a commuter train collided at full speed with a bus. Bob Purkey went all the way to gain his sixth victory without a toss. Ji m Marshall’s three-run third inning homer was the big Pittsburgh blow. Frank Boiling’s two-run homer in the eighth, a “wrong field” blow that trageled only 257 feet, and an equally short homer by Roy McMillan accounted for all the Milwaukee runs against the Mets. Before the game began, manager Birdie Tebbetts read the riot act to the Braves, who had dropped a twin-bill to the Mets on Saturday. The Cubs hit six home r?hins—three in each game—to move past the Mets into ninth place. Both victories went to reliever Barney Schultz, the Cub knuckleballer who now has appeared in eight straight games, one short of the NL record. He came on in the ninth inning of the opener with the Cubs trailing by a run and in the second inning of the nightcap with the Cubs behind again by a run and pitched 3.1-3 innings. George Altman paced Cub hitters with two home runs, driving in three runs in the first game and two in the second.

LOUIS (UPI) — The condition of Minnie Minoso, seriously injured St. Louis Cardinals outfielder. was complicated today by the discovery he has a broken i wrist in addition to a skull fraci tore. , Minoso sustained the injuries Friday night when he crashed into the concrete left-field wall while chasing a triple by Duke Snider in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Busch Stadium. This is the second time Minoso has suffered a skull fracture during his career. X-rays revealed he incurred a hairline Jracture five years ago. The new fracture is not believed to have affected the old injury. Minoso was unconscious for three minutes following the collision. He was carried from the field on a stretcher in a semiconscious state. Doctors reported that Minoso was still "taking liquids well and Was a little more alert than he has been.” I Officials say Minoso, a native f Cuba, will be out of action for four to six weeks.

Palmer, Pott In Playoff In Colonial Meet FORT WORTH, Tex. (UPI) - Arnold Palmer, who is successfully familiar with such things, and young Johnny Pott, who hasn’t been too successful, meet in an 18-hole playoff today for the Colonial National Invitation Tournament’s $7,000 top money. Palmer blew a three-stroke lead and Pott roared from seven strokes off the pace on Sunday’s final gusty, sun-baked round to wind up in a tie at one-over-par 281 for the 72 - hole regulation route. It was in sharp contrast to Palmer’s usual finishing flourish with which he has won many of his previous 33 major victories as a pro. He floundered to a 38-38—76 over Colonial Country Club’s 7,112 - yard, par 35-35—70 layout, while Pott methodically swung a 35-34—69 onto the scoreboard. It will mark the 11th time Palmer has been involved in a playoff and he’ll be going after his eighth playoff victory. Pott, who has won but two championships in his six years as a pro, has won but one of three previous playoff encounters. Almost Has It Palmer and Pott closed out one stroke ahead of challenging Bruce Crampton of Australia, who could have won it on his own but for his second successive double bogey on the final closing hole before a gallery of 16,000 spectators. Crampton both Saturday and Sunday saw his approach shot to the final green bounce off into a lateral water hazard for a onestroke penalty. Both times he also two-putted after his recovery shot. Crampton finished with a 37-37 —74 for a 282 and $2,500 third money, while former amateur champion Jack Nicklaus closed out with a 34-35—69 and a 283 to win $2,000 and mark the 15th consecutive time he’s been in the money since turning professional six months ago. Jim Ferree and Gay Brewer Jr. posted final rounds of 32-37—. 69 and 36-36—72, respectively, to finish at 284 and split $3,500 evenly.
