Take Pair
From Braves
Br UNITED PRESS
The Eugene Emeralds pushed
across a lone 10th inning run
to beat Tri-City's Braves, 2-1,
in the second game of a North
west League baseball double
header last night and sweep the
pair. The Emeralds won the first
game, 5-1.
Gladstone Scores
The teams were tied at 1-all
going into the 10th when Manuel
Romero slammed out a double
for Eugene to start the inning.
Romero was out later when he
tried to score on an infield
grounder, but the play put
Granny Gladstone in position
to score on a sacrifice fly.
Eugene had an easier time in
the first game. Three walks, a
batter hit by a pitched ball and
two sacrifices pushed across two
runs for the Emeralds in the
second inning without benefit
of any hits. The later Eugene
runs weren't even needed for
the win.
Salem Divides Two
League- leading Wenatchee

a pair of games to keep their

Sweikert To Get
At Least $32,900
For Speedway Win
By ED SAINSBURY
United Press Sports Writer
Indianapolis, Ind. (UP.) Bob
Sweikert found fortune and Bill
Vukovich, who discovered the
identical pot of gold earlier,
found death on the same site,
the Indianapolis Speedway.
Sweikert, a balding 29-year-old
driver who never had fin
ished in three previous starts in
the 500-mile Memorial Day race,
won a minimum of $32,900 Mon
day with the first place in the
39th renewal of the annual con
test. Vukovich, driving for the
fifth time, winner for the past
two years and pace setter for
San Lorenzo, Calif. (U.P.)
Bob Sweikeri's mother said
she used to "sit home and cry"
when her son started racing,
but admitted she ii now the
"biggest fan" of her son, win
ner of yesterday's Indianapolis
500-mile race.
"I thought I would die when
Bob started racing," Mrs. F.
A. Maloney said. "I would sit
home and just cry."
"But after Bob was racing
for a while, some of his
friends came over to convince
me I should see a race. I went
to one race, then another, then
another, and soon I was his
biggest fan."
She said his victory in the
Memorial Day classic was
"just wonderful."
1955's fastest field in history
until he collided with death, lay
today in a mortuary.
Tonight, when Sweikert steps
up at the payoff banquet to col
lect perhaps more money than
Vukovich won last year, S74.
934, with a record speed, 130.840
miles per hour, final burial ar
rangements will be completed
for the Fresno, Calif., pilot who
led the speedway field for 485 of
the last 800 laps.
Niday Injured Critically
Meanwhile, Cal Niday, injur
ed in another crash, was in criti
cal condition. Niday was hurt
when he spun and hit the north
west wall.
Sweikert finished the race
with an-average speed of 128.
209 miles per hour, slowest since
1951 when Lee Wallard won at
126.244. But he was held down
for 27 minutes and 10 seconds
while the wreckage of the five
car crash in which Vukovich
found flaming death was cleared
from the track.
Vukovich got in trouble be
cause Rodger Ward hit a bridge
over the track on the back
stretch. Johnny Boyd flipped
over, trying to avoid Ward. Then
Vukovich came along. He rode
up over both racers, soared over
the outside wall, collided with
a car, a truck and a jeep and
turned over in flames. Vukovich
remained inside to die as the
flames were extinguished.
Vukovich before he died was
the major fpctor. He led the
field for 50 laps and had the
pace at a record speed, 136.212
miles per hour, at 125 miles for
the only new mark of the event.
With the caution light on so
long, the field never got a
chance to challenge the record
again. Niday's accident kept the
final speed down also.
Six Men Led Race
Only six men led during the
race. Jack McGrath, the record
holder for qualification tests,
challenged Vukovich early and
set the race for six laps. Jimmy
Bryan moved in front after Vu
kovich was killed.
Then Skeikert took over, after
89 laps, and held first until 132
laps. Art Cross and Don Free
land each led briefly too after
Sweikert made his last pit stop
before the winner moved ahead
to stay after 160 laps. And Mc
Grath, Bryan, Cross and Free
land all went out with mechani
cal troubles.
In second place was Tony Bet
tenhausen, Tinley Park, 111. Jim
may Davies, Pacoima, Calif.,
was third, and Johnny Thomson,
Springfield, Mass., fourth. All
BOUT SLATED
Richmond, Calif. (U.P.) Reu
ben Vargas, former national
AAU heavyweight champion,
and Roger Rischer of Oakland
tangle here tonight in a sched
uled eight-round fight. Vargas
will be aiming for his fifth
straight victory as a professional.
Rischer has won nine against two
losses.

other cars were flagged off the
track.
Seven cars were involved in
accidents, but other than Vuko
vich and Niday, none of the
other drivers were injured seri
ously. They were Ward, Boyd, Fred
die Agabashian, Al Keller and
Ed Elisian. Two National
Guardsmen and a spectator also
were hurt in Vukovich's crack
up. The record payoff for the
speedway was 889,496.96 to Vu
kovich for winning in 1953, lead
ing the field for 195 laps.
Tonight Sweikert might do
better as lap prize money has
been increased from $100 for
each turn to $150 and the total
payoff was to be $275,000 rath
er than the 1953 total of $246.-300.
