way officials announced that the gates will be unlockd for spectators at 9 a, m. tomorrow, Giasoline Alley had an eye on the sky today, knowing well that the weatherman will have an important say in tomorrow's trials, What drivers, mechanics and railbirds hoped for was a windless, rainless day with a temperature best suited to their cars’ carburetion, Rain naturally will wash out the trials, and wind will keep qualifying customers away from the starting apron, since the race cars at high speeds act like feathers in a breeze. . iy In and about the garages today the prediction was that a speed of 129 miles an hour will win the pole position. While such a pace uld eclipse Mauri Rose's top qualifying speed of 128.691 in 1941, it still would fall short of the record 130.138 clip set by the late Jimmy Snyder back in 1939. Everyone was agreed that Snyder's mark is in no immediate peril.
Changes Mounts The No. 1 contender perhaps is the nation's No, 1 driver, Rex Mays, who will be wheeling Car No. 1, the straight-eight, supercharged Bowes Seal Fast Special. Rapid Rex has {held the pole position. thrice previously, and his speed of 128.301 during the 1941 trials was just a shade below that attained by Rose.

MEXICO CITY, May 17 (U. P.). —They greeted Babe Ruth down Mexico way with shouts of “el rey de jonron” and all that the big fellow could say in reply was “hi-ya-kid.” : Until Jorge Pasquel, president of the Mexican league told him, the Babe didn't know that it meant “king of homerun.” Ruth, who made his first appearance at a Mexican league game yesterday, arrived at the start of the second inning and proceedings were halted 10 minutes while he walked onto the field to be introduced. Immediately, he recognized Ar. mando Marsans, Cuban manager of the Tampico team who was with the .8t. Louis Browns when Ruth was a lefthanded pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, early in his American league career. Then he walked over to shake hands with Mickey Owen, former Brooklyn Dodger catcher who was behind the plate for the Vera Cruz Blues. 19,000 Thunder Greetings “Jorge Pasquel deserves a lot of credit for his desire and attempt to give the best possible in baseball to his native land,” Ruth said as a near-record crowd of 19,000 fans thundered their greetings. The ~big fellow just grinned and threw a kiss to the crowd when the announcer at the loudspeaker introduced him as “Baby Ruth.” After his appearance on the field he: saw the rest of the game with

Pasquel and his seven-year-old nephew, Francisco ‘Pasquel. Ruth said he wanted to see more games before expressing an opinion as to how Mexican baseball compared with the American major league brand. Asked whether he had come to Mexico as an emissary of peace be- { tween U. 8. organized baseball and | the Mexican league, Ruth replied: { “1 wouldn't say anything about that | —yet.”

British Pug 5 On Short End Of Ring Odds
NEW YORK, May 17 (U. PP). Blubbery Tami Mauriello of the Bronx is favored at 3% to 1 to beat Bruce Woodcock, awkward British heavyweight champion tonight sé Madison ‘ Square garden im America’s first important Post-war international fight. Woodcock may be clouting king of the British empire, but he shaped up like an amateur during a month of training at Bear Mountain, N.Y. for his U, 8. debut against tough Tami, However, the bout is expected te draw a $100,000 gate because 1 will be the first scrap at the Garden in seven weeks and because Woodoook appears to be a danger. ous puneher and a willing ‘boxer, despite his complete lack of a de~ fense. Should the brayny locomo~ tive fitter from Doncaster, England, survive the first three rounds, aa Interesting brawl may ensue, Signor Mauriello, glutton for spaghetti, usually is short on condition, No one expects the bout to last its acheduled 10 rounds, because both principals have the reputation of knockout specialists. Woodcock —brown-haired, pink-cheeked and bull-ghouldered—has registered 24 knockouts in winning all of his 26 professiongl fights. He is working | on a string of 23 straight kayoes, | Mauriello has a cluster of 10 | straight. Tami has belted out 30 | of his 76 pro opponents. Neither
