The week-end triumphs boosted the Ine dians into second place in the American association race and now they are only six percentage points behind the league leading St. Paul Saints. Louisville was pushed into third place and Toledo barely is hanging in fourth place one point ahead of fifth-place Kansas City. Shiipe Does It In yesterday's 1-0 game, Vincent Shupe batted in the Indians’ lone victory marker and in the finale the Tribesters really delivered at the plate. Shupe and Stan Wentzel got three hits apiece. The former hit a triple and the latter a double. Wentzel, who has been in a prolonged slump, was a very happy ball player after finally breaking back into the hit column yesterday.
Harry Taylor hurled a four-hitter on his home field as the Saints defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 3-1, in the opener yesterday. The Brews came back to take the second, 3-0, with Ross on the mound. But Milwaukee remains in the cellar spot. Louisville was an easy 7-3 winner over Columbus at Columbus but the Colonels were edged out in the second game as the Birds won, 4 to 3.

Hammond held a one point lead prior to the final event and led throughout the race, but anchor man Jack Blair tripped and fell 20 feet from the finish tape and Anderson's Dick Adams swooshed by to give his teammates 10 points. Blair got up and finished fourth for four points. Breaks Harmon's Record Intermittent drizzies failed to keep Everett Veregge of Richmond from shattering Tom Harmon's 1987 low hurdle record. Veregge, an ex G. I, skimmed the low hurdles in excellent form in :22.4, betéering Harmon's mark by two-tenths of a second. The time was just three tenths of a second away from the

race on Thursday. Ralph Hepburn’s terrific 133.944
Memorial day. It also smashed to smithereens all speed records on the bricks and blacktop. It reaffirmed the supremacy of American-de-signed engines on the historic halo of haste, and it stilled the critics who said the old, bumpy track would not accept more speed. Beyond all this, it was a victory for age and experience. Snyder's Marks Fall
Not only did Hepburn urge the $40,000, light-blue, low-slung Novi Governor Special to a 10-mile qualifying record, but he also posted a new lap record with his speed of 134.449 on the fourth leg of his fxip.
In fact, on all four laps ne added more than two miles an hour to the late Jimmy Snyder's 130.754 mile-an-hour lap’ record that has been unmolested for seven years. Hepburn’s qualifying speed was more than three miles an hour better than Snyder's old mark of 130.138.
The performance was as much a triumph for tall, bald Bud Winfield as it was for Hepburn. For Winfield designed the V-8 engine under the low hood—an engine with emphatic acceleration and capable of turning up 500 horsepower,
Car's Design a Factor
That engine, however, was only | partly responsible for the lightning | journey. The design of the car itself permitted Hepburn to get greater zip through the tricky Speedway turns. Standing only. 36 inches at its highest point, the car has one of the lowest centers of gravity of any racer ever built. The car is slung so low that the car’s hood actually comes two inches below the tops of the front wheels. In this same car Ab Jenkins, the
