0 D Chisox Yankees Tumbled By Bosox; Cards Beat Pittsburgh Twice By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer The super-chanted Chicago White Sox, a 301 shot in April, figure no worse than even money to win the Ameri can league pennant based on Memorial day barometers. The Sox streaked to their 13th and 14th successive vic tories yesterday, sweeping a holiday doubleheader from the St. Louis Drowns, 5-2 and 8-1. The Sox cleanup, coupled with Boston's two triumphs over New York, widened Chicago's first place margin over the Yankees to two full games. The Sox, idle today, beginning i 13-Rame horn stand against t It e i eastern clubi tomorrow. They are only five shy of the leauue record of 19 straight victories, first let by the White Sox in 1906 and tied by . the Yankees In 1947.

Jackson atrect. Kowler wn a mechanic for driv en in the race for 15 years. Cars on which he worked were driven by such illustrious names as Wil bur Shaw, Joe floyer and J'ete DePaolo. An interview with a man who has been behind the scenes re veals many facets of the Indiana polis event that seldom come to light. One of the most imposing revelations was the high stakes in volved in the race. Kowler noted that over $100,000 In prize money is awarded yearly by the track in the 500-mile grind. This is the major stake, hut a driv er's earnings may also be skyrock eted hy Ihe award of $H0 lor each lap his car is leading. This money is donated hy manufacturing firms and interested persons and estab lishment. Beside various other gifts offered by firms, the winner of the race becomes the owner of the pace car which starts the race. But with these hnh stakes, go risks of comparable magnitude. In addition to the strength sapping pace a driver mu&i keep, there always Ihe chance of disaster. Because survival depends so much on the unpredictable, many of the racers are superstitious.

PePaolo always drove with one of his baby's shoes on each side of his radiator. ' Fowler's personal experiences ; with big time racing stems from 1922 when he started working for the Duesenberg lactory in Indian-1 apolis. After becoming acquainted 1 with the cars, he was sent into the field to service Ihe four Due senberg racers that were sent out each year to compete In the ma jor "big car" races. He mentions that in this capacity he worked on the first car In America that ever used a supercharger. The first Indianapolis winner he ever worked on was a car driven hy DePaolo in WIS. Dcl'aolo won the season's opener at Indianapo lis and I hen continued on to take eight of 12 major races he en tered that year. By Ihe lime the next classic rolled around on Mem orial (lav. Ie Paolo had picked up over Soo.OOO. lie won the Indian apolis race with a speed of 101.15 miles per hour. In his last year in the racing business, Kowler and four other men worked on the' car that brought Wilbur Shaw to the public eye. That was 19.15 when Shaw came in second. Since then Shaw has won three of the classics. TAKK FUNNY BOUNCIS SAN FRANCISCO (.V At-1 ter a record season-opening streak of 13 consecutive defeats, the San Kranciscn Seals did a right about face. They won 12 of their next 18 games before dropping a double header to Seattle at the latter a home grounds. 6 Tha Newi-Rtvitw, Roseburg, New York Driver Wins Auto Race INDIANAPOLIS UP Let Wallard, winner of the 35th an nual 500-mile auto race at the In dianapolis Motor Speedway, has made it a driving contest again. The post war theory of compet ing in the "500" generally was to drive steadily at a speed a little better than previous winning times, more or less ignoring the competition. Wallard changed that in his first speedway victory. He pushed his hardest all the way yesterday to win at 126.244 miles an hour al most 5 miles faster than Bill Hol land's 1949 record. The 40-year-old Altamont. N. Y., veteran treated the big race like a dirt track sprint. It was the fourth straight run ning of the race without a fatality. Mauri Rose of South Bend, lnd., trying to become the first man to win four times, wrecked at the northwest turn after 312-4 miles. His car lost a wheel and over turned. But he escaped with only scratches. Otherwise, there were only mi nor skids and spins. Wallird dashed into the lead on the first lap. Jack McGrath of Olendale, Calif., got into the spirit, and he and Wallard bitterly contested the lead on every turn 4)f the first 50 miles. Wallard took the $500 prize for the fastest lap in the race by averaging 133809 miles an hour on his 23rd lap faster than many of the qualifying times- The pace that knocked 25 cars out of the race was so fast that all of the six-who finished the full 500 miles, bettered Bill Holland's two year-old record of 121.327 miles an hour. The two others still run ning were flagged off the track. Mike Nazaruk of Fast Meadow, L. I., competing for the first time, took second money in Johnnie Par son's 19.V) winning car. Manuel -Ayulo of Burhank, Calif., driving relief for JlcCrath, got the third wave of the checkered flag.

The Solons stepped on the bot tom - rung San Francisco Seals twice, 9-7 and 7-3, in Memorial day contests to regain the lead from Seattle. The Rainiers helped by dropping one end of their double header with Oakland. Al Lyons, the pitcher who would rather play outfield, demonstrated why as he hit two homers in the second game to give Seattle a 4-3 win and an even split with Oak land. The Oaks took the opener, 2-1, on Earl Marxist's three-hitter. Lyons' second homer came in the eight inning of the nightcap and won the contest originally sched uled for seven innings. Earlier, he had smashed a two-run drive over the fence. Gordy Goldsberry also homered for the Rainiers fourth tally. Marv Grissom, Seattle ace, racked up his 11th win against four defeats.

Coen was in itiated into semi-pro ball last Thursday when he relieved Bus Sporer in the sixth inning. He was wobbly at first, but went on to strike out six men hi the last three innings. He cut down the last three men to fare him. Thus, pitching, which was a one m a n job last year, promises power plus this season, lrnnman Bus Sporer was called on to pitch every major game last year and i fie did such an outstanding job . that he was chosen the Southern Oregon league's "most valuable" . player.

Tr iJNfeil Charles Beats Joey Maxim CHICAGO WPi Eziard Charles heavyweight champion of the world, today Is positive light-heavy- : weight champion Joey Maxim ; wants no more ring traffie with ' him. I Maxim is of the lame opinion, I too, after absorbing a one-sided i trimming by Charles at the Chi cago Stadium last night. It was their fourth engagement with Charles winner of them all. Charles, making the eishth de fense of his crown won the unani- I inous verdict oi Keieree frank I Gilmer, two judges and the bored approval of 7,226 spectators in pasting Maxim for IS rounds. Despite the poor crowd, Charles pocketed a (62.147 60 pay-check, thanks to a $106,000 television purse. Maxim got $31,073 for his losing effort. At the finish, Maxim was a reel ing, tired, exhausted fighter. H i a right eye was swelling shut and he was bleeding from a cut under the eye and above it. Charles was un marked and breathing no harder than if he had a brisk drill. Crestfallen Maxim now is sched uled to risk his 175-pound title against Chicago's Bob Satterfield in the Stadium June 27. But there wis some question today of whether he would recuperate suf ficently to fulfill that engagement. Charles, in repusling Maxim's feeble bid for heavyweight honors, hit the jack-pot as champion by his victory. The Cincinnati Negro now has defeated every leading ri val Joe Louis, the former cham pion: Jersey Joe Walcott: and now Maxim, the light heavyweight champion. Charles' next outing may be against aging Jersey Joe at Pitts burgh July 18.

Cade Pitches Myrtle Creek Walloped By Umpqua Chiefs, 14-0 Jerry Cade, whose pitching magic led the Drain Warriors to the state "B" baseball crown Saturday, turned up in an Ump qua Chief's uniform Wednesday flight and the magic was still there. In his debut before a large Me morial day crowd at Finlay field, the flashy left-hander whiffed 15 men to pace the Chiefs to a lop sided, 14-0, non-league victory over Myrtle' Creek. Although he may have trouble with cannier batters in the league. Cade completely baifled the Myrtle Creekers with crisp curves that clipped the inside cor ners and change of pace balls that bad the visitors spinning in their tracks before the pellet reached the plate. The slender hurler reached his peak in the second, third and fourth innings when he fanned eight straight bat ters. He was in trouble briefly in the first inning as Ulam and Ganz rapped out singles. Frosty Loughry reached third in that in ning but that was as close as any visitor ever got to a tally. Nobldy got past first from then ON. Loughry and Bill Van Loo got singles in the sixth and seventh respectively, but both died there. Thus, Cade gave up four hits, fanned 15, walked one and faced only 26 batters in seven innings.
