No Sweat
OCEANPORT, N. J. UPI— Things worked fine at Monmouth Park Racetrack during Monday’a blackout—except for the jockey’s “sweat room.” An auxiliary generator restored power to most of the track, but the sweat room was powerless. 80 five ambitious jockeya trying to trim off a pound or two climbed into an auto and turned on the heater full blast Three others did road work. All eight jockeya managed to weigh in properly and the horses broke from the starting gates right on schedule
upsetting than a batting slump. When he fell into one, he started looking for remedies. The Baltimore slugger qualified for a doctorate in medicine Tuesday night when he drove in seven runs with three homers, including a grand slammer, as the Orioles routed California 164 in the first game of a doubleheader. Blefary added three more RBI’s in the nightcap, won by Baltimore 11-1. Blefary said he solved his problem by borrowing a light bat from catcher Vic Roznovsky. The six-ounce difference from his regular stick enabled him to whip it with vigor. “I got off to a quick start early in the season and I guess it made me a little gay because I went into a slump,” Blefary said. “I was trying for the long ball and got into the bad habit of dropping my shoulder in front of my body.” The double win only enabled third-place Baltimore to keep pace with the American League j leading Detroit Tigers, who also swept a doubleheader from Kansas City by scores of 11-1 and 7-1. Detroit leads secondplace Chicago by two games and the Orioles by four and one-; half. The White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3, Cleveland and Minnesota split a doubleheader, the Indians taking the 10-inning opener 6-4 and the Twins rebounding 7-1, and the New York Yankees beat the Washington Senators 7-1. In the National League, New York beat Pittsburgh twice 1-0 and 3-2, Philadelphia tripped Chicago 8-6 and 9-8, Houston edged St. Louis 3-2, Cincinnati topped San Francisco 3-2 and Atlanta defeated Los Angeles 32. Paul Blair contributed four RBI's in Baltimore’s first-game rout, getting a triple, single and bases-loaded walk. Rookie Bill Dillman, with relief help from Moe Drabowsky, stretched his record to 3-0. Tom Phoebus helped his own cause in the nightcap with three hits, including a homer, to register his fifth victory against one loss. Blefary drove in his three runs with a single and a
game to win his sixth consecutive decision. Detroit scored six runs in the fourth inning. Earl Wilson Struck out 11, contributed a 470-foot homer and went the distance for the fourth time to post his eighth triumph in the opener. A two-out, bases-loaded single by Tommie Agee in the seventh inning drove in the decisive runs for Chicago. Reliefer Hoyt Wilhelm, who needed help himself, won his third game in four decisions. Fred Whitfield gave Cleveland the first game with a two run pinch-homer in the 10th inning, but Dave Boswell earned a split for allowing only five hits in the nightcap. Mel Stottlemyre, supported by Steve Whitaker’s three-nm homer and a solo blast by Charlie Smith, throttled the Senators to even his record at 5-5.
In an emotion-packed plea not to ban the turbine which led 171 of the 200 laps in the Memorial Day race before conking out just four laps from the finish with engine trouble, Granatelli told members of the racing fraternity if the car were not legal it would not have been approved. Replying to criticism that the machine had an unfair advantage over the rest of the 33-car starting field, Granatelli said bluntly he built it with one purpose in mind—“to blow the rest of you off the track.” Told by officials of the rules committee of the United States Auto Club that regulations regarding the turbine could be changed if the car was found to be “detrimental to racing,” Granatelli said “I am willing to take a weight penalty.” “I don’t think it’s fair to ban the car or the engine and if you cut the engine size we won’t make the program because we won’t have enough horsepower to get down the straightaway,” he said. “I don’t want to miss the program next year and I therefore suggest a weight minimum of 1,450 to 1,550 pounds per car and a 15 per cent penalty on the turbine.” About 150 members of the Speedway’s racing group—including drivers, car owners and mechanics—attended tho only

chanics want banned because they consider it unfair competition at the Speedway, US AC president Thomas W. Binford promised a decision by the end of June—provided a recommendation to that effect or to change the turbine's specifications is made. This would have to come in a special board meeting because under normal circumstances no decisions would be finalized until the regular fall session in September. Many other issues were on the agenda, but fate of turbine powered cars at the Speedway stole the spotlight Binford explained that it was decided last year that a rule governing turbine powered cars should be made. He said the problem was trying to find the proper limit so the car does not have an advantage over conventional eara entered for the
500.
“We obviously missed on the limit” Binford aaid. “We said the specifications would be
changed if they prove detrimental to racing in a turbine car.” The Speedway now has a limit of 4.2 liters for engines while Granatelli’s turbine car, driven in the “500” by Pamelli Jones, was measured to be equal to five liters. “If anybody is to be blamed for the turbine's specifications, it should be the USAC.” Binford said. “The question is whether the rule was proper in the first place." Among other recommendations made was one to raise the driver test speed limit for a rookie driver at the Speedway from 145 to 155 miles per hour. Every “500” newcomer must pass a driver examination at graduated speeds before he is permitted to attempt to qualify for the race.
The first grandstand ever erected for a fight was built for the bout between Tom Spring and Jack Langan, Jan. 7, 1824, on the outskirts of Worcester, England, seating about 4,000.
Betting was not permitted in the last four races run by Tom Fool in 1953—the Wilson and Whitney Stakes at Saratoga, the Sysonby Stakes at Belmont Park and the Pimlico Special at Pimlico. He won them by a total of 22% lengths.
