That was a strange ball game in Columbus Saturday. It saw Tom Sunkel, Red Bird starting pitcher, derricked in the
sixth inning though he hadn’t allowed a hit to Indianapolis. .

Fans Skeptical About Major Standings
THE ONLY TEAMS that ran to form in the first four or five weeks of the American League race were the Red Sox, Cleveland and
Detroit. . . .
The only way Boston and Cleveland were off the pace
was in running one, two, instead of two three. Of course the sensation of the campaign was the sight of the world champions and overwhelming favorite Yankees getting left at
the post. Many fans, around Memorial Day, big league clubs this trip.

THE TEAMS that threw the National League race into confusion
were the Cardinals, Pirates and Phillies. . . .
St. Louis was picked
first by many close observers and second by most of the others. . . . Yet the Cardinals were still floundering in the fifth week of the
campaign. . . .
If they haven't righted themselves by Memorial Day,
then it is really time to take them seriously as a flop. Everybody knew Pittsburgh needed time to build, but nobody expected they would rest in the cellar, as they did after more than
four weeks of play.
Philadelphia's early successes, with its good pitching staff, began to be taken seriously in mid-May, and if the Quakers are still out of the cellar at the end of this month, then Doc Prothro may be able to proceed through September without dropping into the pit.

Dreyfus us Looks ‘Fine’ 1 Driving Test He May Try to Qualify Schell Special Today
By J. E. O'BRIEN Real, honest-to-goodness foreign competition has returned to the Indianapolis Speedway. That was the consensus down on Gasoline Alley today after the railbirds and drivers had their first look at Rene Dreyfus and Rene LeBegue, the two French pilots. It was Dreyfus especially who
of practice running between. showers yesterday. And he was expected to be one of the estimated 10 driv€rs who were to go after the 14 piaces still open in the field during the qualifying period from 11 a. m. to 7 p. m. today.
Zips Through Test
Although international racing courtesy would have allowed M. Creyfus to have begged off taking tlie driver's test, he was very willing about the whole thing and began the trial during one of the few times the track was dry. Right off, during the 80-mile-an-hour section, he zipped through a lap at beter than 100 per, but eased off on orders from the pits. He ran the rest of the test at increasing speeds and ended it with an average near 120. But more important than his speed was the drivers’ approval of the way he negotiated the tricky north and south turns. He spéd through them like a veteran, the observing drivers agreed, without losing any of the speed his eightcylinder Maserati motor had gained on the long stretches.
Darkness Stops LeBegue Just before shop closed for the right, LeBegue began his test. He was in the 100-mile section when darkness fell and he was expected to resume today. What has been termed one of the worst stretches of pre-race weather in history was at work again yesterday, allowing only one driver to join the 18 which already have gained places in the starting Memorial Day field. That was Merrill (Doc) Williams, the former Franklin, Ind., farmboy, who turned the required four laps at a speed of 122.963 miles an hour. Doc, who has never been short on ambition, wound up the fourcylinder Quillen Bros. Special on the first lap and came through with a brilliant average of 124.018. He drove two more laps at better than 123 before a “slow down” signal from his pit crew cut his speed to 120.951 for the fourth and final lap. Doc Is All Smiles
Doc was all smiles as he rolled back to the apron, although he confessed the strong wind whipped him all over the track on the backstretch. Gaining a place in the starting field was a fitting reward for Doc, who had qualified only once in his |six previous attempts. He first came [to the Speedway in 1933, driving a converted Ford. But that, he discovered, wasn't fast enough even when he had it wide open in the turns. He failed again in 1934. In 1935 a sensational accident during the practice period cost him a chance at qualifying, but the next year he made the grade and drove 480 miles in the race before being flagged off. Early last spring Doc began a collection among his friends and acquaintances to buy a new car. This “begging” program was a Success, and he came to the track with a beautiful buggy. Time went too fast, though, and he was unable to get all the “bugs” out of the power plant before the field was filled. Fulfills Promise
He continued to work on the motor during the summer and early this year predicted he would be in the field with a speedy mount. He fulfilled his promise yesterday. As for the other would-be qualifiers yesterday was just a matter (Continued on Page 15)
By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 27.—When a major league team continues to lead its league despite spotty pitching, poor hitting and only ordinary fielding it is time to make an investigation, even though that team be Brooklyn, a club long noted for bizarre behavior.

“I've played with some hustling fools in my time,” Durocher told me over a steak at Lindy’s last night, “particularly that 1934 Gas House Gang in St. Louis. You remember that club in 193¢ — Frisch, Martin, Collins, Dean, Medwick, and all the rest. We weren't the best team in the league by a long shot, but we won the pennant and the World Series.

Metropolitan
NEW YORK, May 27 (U. P.).— Craig Wood, 38-year-old Mamaroneck, N. Y. professional, romped away with the Metropolitan Open championship yesterday with the lowest score ever made on a regulation golf course in a first class tournament. He carded a 68 and 66 in his two final rounds for a 16-under-par total of 264 for the 72 holes. Wood toured the opening round Friday in 64 and breezed around in 66 Saturday. His final total broke the record for the 33-year-old event by 14 strokes. The old record, 278, was set by MacDonald Smith in 1914 and equaled in 1928 by Tommy Armour. As far as available records were concerned, the lowest 72-hole figure for major golf was a 266 posted by Bobby Locke of South Africa in last year’s Transvaal Open. Lawson Little's 271 hung up in a recent Canadian Open was also credited as a record. Ben Hogan, current golfing sensation, clipped three strokes off the record and finished second with 275; Vic Ghezzi came home third with 280 and Jimmy Hines, fourth with 281. Wood won $750 for his first-prize money and Hogan $300. Hogan's money put him at the top of the current money-winners with a total of $7838.
Red Wings Increase International Lead
By UNITED PRESS The Rochester Red Wings, one of two clubs to win a double-header in the International League yesterday, walloped the Buffalo Bisons, 6-2 and 2-1 to increase their firstplace, advantage to 1% games Over
the Jersey City Giants.
None of that ‘Well, we lost ¢ to 1, but I got three hits’ stuff. Look how
we're winning em. We're seventh
in hitting and the pitching has been uncertain. But the guys are pouring it on, and given just a little break make it count.” Leo used yesterday's game with the Phillies as an example. “We're shut out with one hit going into the ninth, and losing 1 to 0. But we tie it in the ninth and then Reese gets his first homer in the majors to win for us in the 10th.
{| Those are good ones to win.”
Was there any explanation for this remarkable spirit of the Dodgers? “Yeah, a couple of reasons,” Durocher explained. “In the first place, everybody on the team happens to like everybody else. No arguing or fighting among the guys. And the president of the club has had a lot to do with it. The players know he’s for em. I'll bet you that when Reese looks in his locker the next time there'll be an envelope with a hundred bucks in it. Just a little present from MacPhail for that winning homer. If it’s not in his locker, he'll get a little extra dough the next pay day. Carleton got five hundred for that no-hitter, and other players have been rewarded for good work. The players have a

Bounce Back After Defeat
In Columbus, Saturday, the Red Birds scalped the Indians, 5 to 2, mainly because the Tribesters could not hit in the clutch. They left 16 runners stranded and were held to three blows, all singles. Sixteen walks were issued by Columbus pitchers. Don French and John Wilson toiled on the Tribe mound. Yesterday it was a different story at Red Bird Stadium as the Redskins emerged from the fog and snatched both ends of a doubleheader, 2 to 1 and 8 to 1. Pete Sivess worked the route in the first tilt and held Columbus to five hits while the Indians collected eight. No. 7 for Logan
In the seven-inning nightcap Lefty Bob Logan held the Birds to six safeties and chalked up his seventh victory of the season against two defeats. He has worked six complete games. The Indians garnered 10 hits behind Logan and two were home runs, by Legrant Scott in the second frame with one on and by Jess Newman in the third stanza with one on. Columbus used Harry Brecheen on the mound in the first game and Francis Barrett, Bill Curlee and Vernon Horn in the second.
Zientara Starts Rally
The Tribesters won the first struggle by rallying in the seventh for their two markers. In the nightcap they tallied twice in the second,
twice in the third and four times in the sixth. Bennie Zientara started the Tribe's first game rally by singling to open the seventh. He took second on a passed ball and scored after one out on Dick West’s single. Don Lang then unloaded a triple, scoring West.

feeling that Larry 1s watching ‘em and is appreciative of what they do.” Durocher also gave the Brooklyn fans an assist in the rousing showing of the Dodgers this year. “You can't beat the Brooklyn rooaers. It would take an Egyptian mummy not to respond to the kind of backing they give you. They stick by you whether you're winning or losing. You get so you don't want to let them down, even if you eve to break your neck trying to win.” It would be a mighty poor observer, indeed, who could talk to Durocher five minutes and fail to realize that Leo has more than a little k do with the spirit of the Brookyns.

Mat Bill Drawn
For Tomorrow
Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has completed his four-bout mat bill that will open the outdoor season here tomorrow night at Sports Arena. Supporting bouts are Jack Kennedy, 228, of Dallas, Tex. vs, Bob Hanley, 285, of Oklahoma, and Young Joe Stecher, 229, of Towa, vs. Pete Managoff, 220, of St. Louis. Mike Mazurki, 240, of New York, returns after a long absence to tackle Angilo Cistoldi, 220, of Boston, in the semi-windup. All are one-fall matches. The main go brings together a pair of speedy performers in Jump=ing Joe Savoldi, 222, of Three Oaks, Mich., and Len Macaluso, 228, of Buffalo. Macaluso has shown to advantage here. He held Everett Marshall to a draw in Chicago and defeated Louis Thesz in St. Louis. The two huskies meet for two falls out of three.
Browns Get Cullenbine
NEW YORK, May 27 (U. P).— The Brooklyn Dodgers today traded their $25,000 outfielder, Roy Cullenbine, to the St. Louis Browns for Big Joe Gallagher, right-handed hitting outfielder, in an interleague deal made after vraivers had been obtained ¢n each wside their own circuis. The purchase of outfielder-first baseman Jim Wasdell, a left-handed hitter from Washington last week, paved the way for the CullenbineGallagher deal. Wasdell formerly played with the Indianapolis Indians.

the cleaners.
They surmised Oom Paul was about ready to hit the skids. The tipoff, they insisted, was that his control was errant. It is a wellknown fact that when Derringer is right he can hit a gnat in the eye at 60 feet.
Derringer Didn't Worry
Everybody became worried except Derringer. When the Bees and Fhillies knocked him out of the box and the Giants beat him, Derringer passed it off philosophically with, “just hard luck.” But the huge Cincinnati pitcher gave the conclusive answer yesterday that his mighty right arm is better than all-right when he blanked the Cardinals on one hit. Not a single Cardinal reached second as the Reds triumphed, 4-0.
Derringer walked two and fanned seven as he scored his fourth victory against four defeats. An infield single by Stu Martin in the first innfling was the only hit off Derringer. Only one other time did the Cards come close to a hit and then Ival Goodman raced way back to grab Joe Orengo’s fly in the eighth.
The Reds’ stab to regain frst place was sidetracked when the Dodgers put on a thrilling finish to nose out the Phillies, 2-1, in 10 innings. Kirby Higbe held the Doxigers to one hit until the ninth when with one out, Dixie Walker, who had singled earlier, got his second single. Then Lavagetto sent Gene Moore, running for Walker, to third on a single and he counted on Camilli’s long fly. Pee Wee Reese's first major league homer in the 10th was the winning punch,
Giants ‘Come Back’
Harry Danning’s two homers, driving in four runs, featured the Giants’ comeback which enabled them to beat the Bees, 10-8. Whitehead, Young and Glossop also hit New York homers. For the first time this season the Pirates had two consecutive pitchers go the route and win as Bob Klinger outdueled Bill Lee for a 3-2 triumph over the Cubs. Wild throws by Lee and Russell let the winning run score.
The Yanks came out of the cel lar again with a 7-2 victory over the Red Sox who, nevertheless, clung to a haif-game lead in the American League. Charlie Keller hit a homer and double. Herb Hash, making his first start, was pasted out in the sixth. Monte Pearson failed to finish because of illness.
Cleveland broke even with the Browns, winning the nightcap, 13-1, after dropping the opener, 5-3. The Browns scored five runs in the fourth, routing Mel Harder and continuing their barrage on Joe Dodson for the first victory. Emil Bil-

dilli, with a little ninth inning help from Bob Harris, was the winnor. Eleven walks, three errors, two wild pitches and two hit batsmen in ade dition to 10 Kits helped Cleveland grab the afterpiece. Al Milnar ale lowed seven hits in winning his fifth game, Willis Hudlin, Cleveland castofT, held the Athletics to five hits in pitching the Senators to a 4-3 trie umph in 10 innings. Outfielder John Welaj's homer homer won the game,
Crawfords Win in’ Diamond Debut
The Indianapolis Crawfords turned in an impressive pere formance in their local debut ag Perry Stadium yesterday afternoon, thumping the Chicago American Giants, 8 to 2, in a Negro American League game, John Wright was in top form on the mound, shutting out the visitors the rest of the way after permitting two runs in the opening frame. He
allowed only seven scattered hits and did not issue a single base on balls. Rain, which held the crowd to several hundred, forced cancellation of the second encounter in the opening frame with the locals leads ing, 4 to 0, as the result of Henders son’s home run inside the park with bases loaded.
Chicago got its only runs in the initial inning on Sims’ double, J. Smith's error on Bond's single and a long sacrifice fly. The locals came back with two runs in their turn on two walks, an error and a hit by Henderson. They went ahead to stay in the next frame on consecu= tive hits by Wilson, Bibbs and Clarkson and then coasted in behind Wright's tight hurling. Score:
