Italian, Frenchman Are Le Mans Race Victors

LE MANS, France UPI — Nino Vaccarella of Italy and Jean Guichet of France covered the 2,904 miles at an average speed of 117.84 miles per hour and won the 24-hour Le Mans endurance auto race. Richie Ginther of Riverside, Calif., took his Ford prototype car in to an early lead and set a lap record of 128.8 m.p.h., which was subsequently broken three times. But the United State's first serious attempt to dominate European racing collapsed during the night as the Fords of Phil Hill and MacLaren, Dick Attwood and Jo Schlesser, and Ginther and partner Masten Gregory dropped out with gearbox trouble. Gurney and Bondurant, however, roared on, keeping pressure on the leaders all the way. In the blackness of night spectators knew they were coming by the Cobra’s recognizable roar. Another A. C. Cobra, of Briton Peter Bolton, was involved in a crash with the Ferrari of Italian Giancarlo Baghetti which caused the death of three young spectators, all French, who were on a prohibited part of the track during the night. Second after the Guichet-Vac-carella works 3.292 cc machine

was the privately entered Ferrari of Briton Graham Hill and Swede Jo Bonnier. Third was Britain's John Surtees and Italy's Lorenzo Bandini, co-win-ner of last year’s 24-hour grind.

LE MANS, France UPI — The United States won a significant berth in European auto racing at the Ferrari-dominated 24-hour Le Mans endurance race. Although Ferrari swept the first three places Sunday, the Ford-powered Cobra, driven by Dan Gurney of Costa Mesa, Calif., and Bob Bondurant of Los Angeles came in fourth in the general classification and first in the Grand Touring division. The overall victors were Frenchman Jan Guichet and Italian Nino Vaccarella in their big rear-engined FerrarL They set a new average speed record of 121.7 miles per hour and covered 2,917.7 miles around the 8.378-mile track. Ferraris have taken the Le Mans five years running. But they were given a serious challenge at the outset this time by American entries. Californian Phil Hill and Bruce MacLaren of New Zealand in an American Ford set a new lap record of 131.481 m.p.h.

Bunning Hurls Perfect Game

NEW YORK UPI — Weary Jim Bunning went home to 1 Philadelphia today but his cap and that perfect game ball were headed for baseball’s Hall of j Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y. Bunning, a 32-year-old Phillies’ righthander pitching his 1 first year in the National League, set down 27 New York Met batters in order Sunday to become the first modern Na- ^ tional Leaguer and the seventh 1 major leaguer to hurl a pitcher s masterpiece. “Something like that you don’t believe is possible,” a dis- j believing Bunning said after he had struck out rookie pinchhitter John Stephenson for the final out of the game, won by j the Phillies, 6-0. The no-hitter was nothing new to Bunning, who pitched one for the Detroit Tigers on July 20. 1958, against the Bos- ! ton Red Sox-also in the first | game of a Sunday double-head-er. As a result, Bunning is the : only pitcher in the modern era of baseball to pitch no-hitters | in both major leagues. Cy: Young accomplished the feat in ! the course of pitching three career no-hitters, but his hitless performance in the National League was achieved before 1900. Bunmng's perfect game was the first since Don Larsen of the New York Yankees reached pitching perfection against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1956 World Series. And it was a 42year gap to the last perfect game during the regular season when Charlie Robertson of the Chicago White Sox accomplished the feat against the Detroit Tigers on April 30, 1922.

Casey Stengel, manager of the Met* and a distinguished authority on perfect games, was the manager of the Yankees when Larsen pitched his, said that Bunning “should receive credit for one hundred per cent effort. We had very little chance to hit him and he never loafed once on the mound. He also did some running and hitting in the series — it was a tremendous effort.’* Although he was pitching in steaming 91-degree heat, Bunning appeared stronger at the end than at the beginning. He struck out six batters in the last three innings and the crowd of 32,026 was on its feet cheering him on in the ninth inning.

'Chuck' Defends 1 Tennis Crown WIMBLEDON, Eng. UPI — Charles “Chuck” McKinley of San Antonio, T^x., opens defense of his Wimbledon tennis crown today under threat of disqualification before the first

LANGHORNE, Pa. UPI — National driving champion A. J. Foyt, fighting an ornery steering mechanism and close challenger most of the way, turned in an unprecedented fourth win in the Langhorne 100-mile dirttrack race. The Houston, Tex., speedster virtually clinched his fourth overall and second straight U.S. Auto Club national driving championship. His consecutive victories at Indianapolis, Phoenix, Trenton and Milwaukee already gave him a 700-point standings lead over Rodger Ward, Indianapolis. It was the first run of the season over an oiled dirt surface on the championship trail, but Foyt jumped out in front on the first lap and led all the way to remain undefeated in “open cockpit” racing. Foyt has also been impressive in sprint car events, winning 12 or 13 he has entered. The Memorial Day race was marked by the death of two drivers and serious injuries were counted at Milwaukee and a sprint event in Terre Haute, by Sunday’s-race was run without a mishap. Foyt fought off a challenge by runner-up Don Branson, Champaign, HI., and finished a half-lap ahead on the circular mile track to take the lion’s share of the $20,000 purse. His time was 58:30.41. The race was run in hot and humid 90-degree weather which brought the track surface to a sizzling 123 degrees.

Ken Venturi Captures U. S. Open Golf Crown

WASHINGTON UPI — Ken Venturi, who recently was on the verge of retiring, fired a 72-hole total of 278 to win the United States Open golf championship. Venturi captured the $17,000 prize after being attended by a doctor prior to the final round. There were a lot of big guns trained on the Open championship. Fire-tested guys like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper and Bob Charles were looking for the big prize and you don’t find them failing to answer the starter's bell. There was a fellow who made a big bet on Rocky Marciano when the stupid whispers were around that the Rock might be starched by Archie Moore. He knew that nobody ever could get to the Rock. So his heart almost stopped when old Archie smashed Marciano to the floor. Marciano got up, like it figured, and in his anger put out the lights for the old mongoose. Which is the way it looked to figure even after Venturi racked up a 66 like shooting fish in a barrel in the first of the two final rounds. Because Palmer, the late-running Whirlaway of the golf gaff, was only two shots back of Venturi and everybody knew he would make his bid coming down the stretch. This would be Jim Thorpe or Bronco Nagurski against an Ivy League also-ran. But, as it developed, this was a little horse aptly named “Upset” handing Man O'War his only defeat. This was Cinderella Jimmy Braddock off the docks to slug the heavyweight crown off Max Baer's head. This was 18-year-old Bob Mathias, injured thigh taped and agony etched on his face, winning the Olympic decathlon from the world’s strongest men in the dusk at Helsinki.

This was Ken Venturi a* he won, not barely but decisively, from the best that could be sent against him.

Wright Wins Carling Open SUTTON, Mass. UPI — Mickey Wright posted a 54-hole total of 220 to capture the Lady Carling Eastern Open tournament by a one-stroke margin over Kathy Whitworth. Her one-stroke victory in the Lady Carling Eastern Open here gave Miss Wright a 10year cash collection of $158,974. That’s from 57 tournament titles in her 10 years on tour. The 64-year-old Miss Berg, who barely got expenses out of her $360 ninth place here, now has won $157,474. Dallas, Tex., resident Miss Wright now trails only alltime leading money winner Rawls $164,674, including $290 here and the semi-retired Miss Suggs $163,583, who didn’t play here. Mickey’s victory at Pleasant Valley Country Club Sunday came by a single stroke on a course record of 220 for the 54 holes. Fellow Texan Kathy Whitworth staged a Palmer-Method finish with a record 33 on the back nine for a four-under 70 and a 221 total. Kathy’s birdie blitz, eight of the final 18, gave her second money of $1,200. Still another Texan, Fort Worth’s Sandra Haynie, took the $970 third prize at 222; Carol Mann and Marilynn Smith tied for fourth at 223 and $735 each; and the best that two-time champ Shirley Englehorn could do was tie Mary Mills for sixth at 226.

Kentucky All-Stars Win Over Indiana, 68-59 LOUISVILLE, Ky. UPI —In-1 just too slow getting down th* diana’s high school basketball j Freedom Auditorium floor.

All-Stars tied their hopes on a balanced attack and a fast break but failed to pull them off as Kentucky's All-Stars defeated them Saturday, 68-59. Pre-game predictions came true when Westley Unseld, a 6-8 center who led the taller Kentucky team, poured in 19 points and grabbed 26 rebounds even though he spent nearly a full

quarter on the bench.

The second game will be played next Saturday night at the Butler Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. A near capacity, 15,000 fans are expected to see the match. The crowed at Louisville numbered about 16,000.

It was the first time the Indiana squad had dropped a game on the Louisville floor since 1959. It was also the lowest score game of the benefit for the blind contest since 1958. Indiana still leads overall in the series by a 22-10 edge, most of them coming in early years when Hoosiers won 13 of the first 14 contests. The record since the game in Louisville was added, making it a home and home series, is Indiana 10,

Kentucky 9.

Last Saturday night’s game broke a four-year tradition | which had Indiana winning at Louisville and the Kentucky squad picking up the marbles

at Indianapolis.

Lafayette’s Terry Stillabower was the only Indiana player in double figures-15 points. Jerry Newsom of Columbus and Dick McIntosh of Tipton were next for the Hoosiers with nine each. Kentucky led most of the first half of the raggedly-played game until Indiana rallied to take a 27-25 lead on a 15-footer by Steve Clevenger of Anderson with 1:58 to go in the half.

Kentucky then came with a
