Jack Hallett
Owen J. Bush, president of the , today set. tiled the “Jack Hallett case” by selling righthanded pitcher San Diego of the Pacific Coast League, managed by Bucky Har|ris, late of the New York Yankees, Hallett did not show up at
p Union Station late yesterday when Indians
the departed for Kansas City on the first leg of a nine game road trip and announced that he was dissatisfied and was returning to his Toledo home. Although Hallett signed a 1949 contract before reporting for spring training, he asked for more money recently and Siggesied “i he didn't get it.”
Had Own Plans
It is believed the big righthand. er wanted’ to be sent to the Toledo Mud Hens. The Toledo club did not tamper with Hallett, but probably ‘would have jumped at the chance to land him. er i . Since Hallett pitched only one {inning in the Indians’ first eight games, and that as a finisher of a “lost” game, Manager Al Lopes decided he had a dissatisfied player on his hands and advised the club executives that he didn't
Recent Champions Have Gone to Pits Only
Once in 500 Miles; Eyes on Five Cars
By LOUIS ARMSTRONG
Cars which make more than
one stop during the 1949 Funaing|
7 of the 500-Mile race have little or no chance of winning.
That was the general opinion around Gasoline Alley today as)
drivers ‘and mechanics gathered | Speedway event May 30. i In 1947 Mauri Rose in Lou ea set the post-war precedent. nailed it to the barn door when {he scored his repeat in the same lcar, Right behind him each time /was Bill Holland in a duplicate [Blue Crown Special who also {made but one pit stop each year. Last year Mauri was off the
track only one minute and nine seconds from the time the start|{ing bomb sent the pack on its 200-
lap way until he received the checkered flag, 4 hours, 10 min|utes and 23. seconds later. His speed set a new record for the 500—119.814 miles an hour.
| It is this excellent mechanical
and pit performance which the boys will ‘be out to beat this year: Five Oars Watched As it stacks up today, the race, as last year, will center around four or five cars . . . the ive Blue Crowns, the two Novi Mo Specials to be driven by Mays and Duke Nalon and the old Shaw-Horn Maserati to be wheeled by Lee Wallard, The two Moore cars, Nalon's Novi and the Maserati have won the first four places for the last two years. In 1947 Horn in the Maserati was third and Begere inthe Novi was fourth, ILast year Horn ran fourth and the Novi under the heavy foot of Nalon came in third. Both the third and fourth place cars had more than one pit stop each year. However, last year only a little more than four minutes separated Rose in first place and Horn in fourth. It’s the time spent in the pits which will win or lose the race for one of these fast cars, barring accidents which would eliminate them gll. » » » DUKE NALON was at the track yesterday ahead of his mount. Word has been received the twin Novis were on the road for Indianapolis from the West Coast. The cars rre being transported in a large van 4nd s arrive at the track by Sunday. In the event they arrive earlier, Rex Mays, who will drive the other Novi, is on hand and may get his French-gray giant out on the track Sunday for a warmup. It will be the first time he thas driven a front-wheeler on the Speedway. The two cars, reputed to be the fastest on the track. are powered by 179 cubic inch V-8 Winfield isupercharged engines. The gas tanks hold approximately 110 gallons, enough to see them safely through half the race. Bud Winfield, who built the cars, has developed a new gas, tank filling system for his pit| > which will fill the Novi tanks inlY 241; seconds. The cars will also
have gasoline gauges mounted on the dash panels.

Pirates Arrange Deal
Thereupon, the parent Pitts. burgh Pirates tried to peddle Hallett to Oklahoma City of the Texas league, a Cleveland affile iate. The Pirates “owed” Cleveland a player in the Walter Judnich deal -and Cleveland said Hallett would be acceptable, But news of the Oklahoma City transaction “leaked” to Hallett and he balked, after announcing that he would .not ace cept a transfer to the Texas League. Last year, Hallett won 11 games and lost five for the Indians and aided them in their final push for the pennant. He had the coveted homor of pitching the pennant-clinching game. In 1947, his Indianapolis record was 10 won, 11 lost, and he was drafted by the New York Giants, who sent him back to the In-
dians. Figured as Starter
Hallett, who is 35; stands 6 feet 4 inches and his weight is well’ distributed. Manager Lopez was banking upon the big fellow to be one of his dependable starters this season and now the Tribe management will have to search for a replacement. Unless Hallett reports to San . i Diego, he will be subject to suspension, President Bush said. In the series opener in Kane sas City this afternoon, Manager Lopez was expected to send Mel Queen to the Triba mound and Skipper Bill Skiff indicated he would call upon Paul Hinrichs, . Queen won his two starts this season, defeating both Kansas City and Milwaukee. He prevailed over Hinrichs in the season opener at Indianapolis on Apr, 19. The contest today was the
