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

only five shy of the leauue record
of 19 straight victories, first let by

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

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

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. Kowler

Fowler's personal experiences ;
with big time racing stems from
1922 when he started working for
the Duesenberg lactory in Indian-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

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.

Sacramento is perched atop the
Pacific Coast league baseball heap
attain by a precarious half-game
margin.
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.
Los Angeles used six homers to
club Portland twice, 9-6 and 11-7.
Beaver Joe Brovia hit three hom
ers accounting for six runs, but
this could not equal the Angel pro
duction of two by Less Layton
his 12th and nth , two by Leon
Brinkopf good for six runs, and one
each by Tom Neill and Chuck

The twin win moved the Angels

It took the Christians five innings
, to figure out the pitches of Ralph

only two hits until the crucil sixth
inning. In the same five innings,
his tpamm?,p collected ive hits
off Rae Kleinfeldt and pushed
across a single tally.
While the first five innings saw
all the laurels go to the two pitch
ers, the batters began to limber up
in the final two cantos. The big
explosion came in the Christians'
half of the sixth. After one run
had scored on three hits and a hit
batter, Kleinfeldt went a long way
to winning his own game by blast
ing a homer to clear the loaded
sacks.
In their half of the inning, the
Lutherans sliced the lead to one

hits, two errors, a walk and a field

While Umpqua Plywood was only

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

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.
By mutual agreement between the
two teams, the game was called
at the end of seven frames alter
it had stretched out to two-and-a-half
bours.
The Chiefs had no such batting
trouble against Myrtle Creek pitch-
