Only four rear-engined machines qualified last year, but three were among the first 10 to finish. This time, seven rearengined Fords made it, including the jhree fastest in the field. driven by pole-sitter Jimmy* Clark, Bobby Marshman and two-time race winner Rodger Ward.

the national midget champion who will be 31 Thursday, qualified at a speed of 149.869 mph to eliminate Russo’s car, which made the lineup temporarily at a clip of 148.644 mph. Wente became the seventh “500” newcomer to make it. The others are Walt Hansgen, Dave • McDonald, Ronnie Duman, Johnny White, Bob Harkey and Bob Mathouser. Australia’s Jack Brabham joined Scotland’s Clark as the only foreigners among the starters. He was the first qualifier Saturday at a speed of 152.504, then flew to Holland for Sunday’s Grand Prix.

Three Novis In Jimmy "McElreath, Arlington, Tex., put the second Novi into ■ 'Saturday and Art' Malone, Tampa, Fla., followed suit Sunday—the second year in a row that Andy Granatelli got all three of his temperamental machines into the race. Nine unsuccessful attempts to crash the lineup were made during Sunday’s wind-whipped trials; five after the field was completed. Among the latter were Maston Gregory, an American living in Paris, whose car was bumped last year; Bob Christie, Grants Pass, Ore.; Jud Larsen, Kansas City, Mo.; Al Miller, Roseville, Mich., and Chuck Rodee, Indianapolis.

Then the oval will be closed until the flying start of the race Saturday. _____

Torre Stars As Braves Defeat Cardinals Pair By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer Joe Torre has produced some red faces in the Milwaukee front office, and now they’re hoping he can get them into the black with a Work! Series dividend. Torre held out for a raise during the spring and missed three weeks of practice. When the Braves refused to consider his salary appeal, the 23-year-old Brooklyn - born catcher figured he wouldn’t “cut off my nose to spite my face” and set out to prove he had a worthwhile cljjim. , ‘ Trying to impress the Braves is nothing new to Torre, who seven years ago was cutting high school • classes to try out for the team. Milwaukee’s progress toward the top can be traced partly to Torre’s demands upon himself to show up the brass. He is batting .370 and the braves are only 1% games out of first place. Torre' collected seven hits in the Braves’ 7-4, 10-0 sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday. He banged out four safeties in the opener to help Warren Spahn win his fourth game of the season and collected three more in the nightcap, including two homers. Batting Average Jumps In his last five games, Torre has hit a fantastic .591 with 13 hits for 22 at - bats to raise his average from .331 to take over third place among the league’s batting leaders. Denny Lemaster held the Cards tq, three hits in the nightcap for his fifth win of the season and dropped St. Louis into a third place tie with Milwaukee. Denis Menke and Henry Aaron also helped Denny’s cause with homers. Pittsburgh prevented San Francisco from taking over first place with a 3-0 and 5-3 doubleheader sweep of the Giants; Philadelphia held a halfgame lead despite a, 3-0 loss to Los Angeles; Cincinnati took a pair from Chicago, 6-5 and 124, and Houston shut out New York, 5-0, in a night game. In the American League, Boston beat Kansas City twice, 6- and 3-1; Baltimore bounced Minnesota in a pair,’ 2-0 and 7- Los Angeles blanked New York, 3-0, and then lost to the Yankees, 8-5; Chicago topped aWshington, 6-4, and then dropped a 3-0 decision to the Senators, and Detroit defeated Cleveland 7-5 in the opener of a twin bill. The second game was postponed by rain. Bob Veale of the Pirates shut out San Francisco on a two-hit-ter in their opener, allowing his first hit to Harvey Kuenn in the sixth inning, as he picked up his fourth win. Tom Butters helped himself to his first win in the nightcap by driving in three runs: Jack Sanford and Bob Shaw were the losing Giant pitchers. Sandy Koufax, making his first relief appearance since 1962, put down a Philadelphia uprising in the seventh inning after starter Joe Moeller put runners on second and third with none out. Koufax issued only one hit in three innings to save Moeller’s second win. Wes Parker was the Los Angeles hitting star with two doubles and a triple. Tommy Davis belted his third homer as Jim Bunning lost his second game in seven decisions. Cincinnati, helped by two Chicago errors, scored four unearned runs in the opener and mounted a 15 -hit nightcap at--tack for a double - header sweep. Tom Harper and Vada Pinson each collected five hits during the twin artion and Jim O’Toole and Sammy Ellis won their third games ofthe season for the Reds. Bob Bruce limited the Mets to four hits as he secured Jiis sixth win of the season. Tracy Stallard, the victim of two unearned runs in the first inning, lost his sixth game. Mike White drove in two Houston runs and upped his RBl’s to eight in the last three outings.

Stuart Blasts Two Homers As BosoxWinTwo By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer Dick Stuart rediscovered the English language today. It’s been a long silence for the Boston slugger, who would not even open his mouth to sneeze in the last month. The one-time scourge of the viceways, never slow to tell the world of his triumphs, was silenced by his own inability to hit a baseball. « The man who smashed 66 home runs at Lincoln (Neb.) in 1956 and / another 42 with the Red Sox last year, had a paltry two to his credit after more than a month of the current season. This along with an anemic batting average kept the big man with the big ideas speechless. Stuart finally snapped his slump and gave himself something to talk about Sunday when he blasted a pair of game-winning homers, including a grand slam, to power the Red Sox to a ’6-2 and 3-1 doubleheader sweep over the Kansas City Athletics. Stuart hit the grand slam — his second of the season—in the eighth inning of the opener and then connected for a tiwo-run drive in the fourth inning of the nightcap to once again provide the winning margin. The homers were the third and fourth of the season for Stuart and his first since April ' 28. The first baseman also had another hit in the second game to boost his batting average to .230. Orioles Move Up * The Baltimore Orioles moved into a virtual tie for first place with Chicago in the American League by sweeping the Minnesota Twins, 2-0 and 7-6. The White Sox dropped the second game to Washington, 3-0, after taking the opener, 6-4. In other games, the Los Angeles Angels beat New York, 3-0, in the first game with the Yankees rallying to take the nightcap, 8-5, and- the Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Indians, 7-5. The second game of a' scheduled doubleheader at Cleveland was postponed by rain. Jack Lamabe and Ed Connolly were the beneficiaries of Stuart’s blasts, Lamabe picking up his fifth victory of the season and Connolly gaining credit for his first major league triumph. Butch Heffner worked in relief in both games for Boston despite 94-degree heat. Come From Behind The Orioles scored three runs in the ninth inning of the second game to complete their sweep of Minnesota. After Jerry Adair opened the frame with his first homer of the year, John Orsino walked and Jackie Brandt bunted safely, going all the way to third on an error. A sacrifice fly by Luis Aparicio brought in Brandt with the winning run and earned the decision for reliever Stu Miller. * Robin Roberts yielded only five hits in the opener to gain the 260th victory of his career. Las Narum limited Chicago to six hits in the second game after the White Sox had taken the opener with a three-run rally in the eighth inning, highlighted by a bases-loaded pinch double by Floyd Robinson. Don Lock homered for the Senators in the first game. Mickey Mantle sparked a Yankee comback in the second
