Bob Jenkins
Winner of
Auto Race
Hot - throttling Bob Jenkins
took command midway through
the race and widened the lead
to win by a comfortable margin
Saturday night in the main
event of the hardtop auto races
which saw a pair of sensational
flips, two corral tangles and
several drivers prevented from
higher placings, in one case vic
tory, because of penalties. '
Jenkins was followed by El
mer Sisemore, Loe Donelon, Roy
Deutschman and Wayne Lemley
in that order. Donelon, however,
was put back three positions
when the judges ruled he jump
ed at a restart and fenced an
other car.
A pair of Gold Beach entries,
Bud Johnson and Ken Curry,
took one-two in the semi-main.
Ken Stratton finished in front
of Curry but was penalized one
place for his part in the spin
out of another contestant.
Most sensational spill of the
night saw Don Cummings slam
hard into the fence on the back
stretch in the semi-main, rip
along the barrier and turn end
over end. Just before his upset
Al Root had rolled over at one
end of the oval.
Main event saw Johnny Wil
verling crash hard and head-on
into a corral at the head of the
front stretch before the race was
hardly underway. Jerry Teeter
tangled with Bob Willhite in the
first heat, sweeping across the
infield and sideways into a cor
ral. Donelon was victor in the A
trophy. Willhite took the B tro
phy. Root had led in the B race
until Willhite nosed him over
in the backstretch of 'the last
lap. The other contestant, John
son, also passed Root.
Cecil James won the first
heat. In the second heat Deutsch
man got the checkered banner
first but judges ruled that he
had put Sisemore out of the
race and set him back two
notches. That gave Johnson the
race and Monty Hall second.
Sisemore was leading when he
sDun out iust before the final
turn.
Donelin grabbed the third
heat and Bud Hart, with new
suspension but without the re
ported cameo coral paint, was
second. Lou Kurz won the
fourth heat race.

claimed the singles champion
ship of the 52nd annual Amer

April 19 and the five-man team
$2500.

prize money. It was the same
day Myron Ericksen, Racine,
Wis., bowled a perfect game, the
14th in ABC history.
Harry Zoeller and George
Pacopis, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., took
the doubles crown with their
April 15 count of 1365 and won

yesterday.
Bases Loaded

outs away from their series
sweep in the top of the ninth
inning when Pitcher Marv
Scherpf was tagged for a double
, by Johnny Hammons and walk
ed Dick Nix and Clint Reese.
That put a possible tying run
on base and brought a possible
winning run at bat.

from center 'field. He bore down
to strikeout both pinch swatters,

Nats Lend Hand To Yankee Nine;
Take 3 out of 4 from Cleveland
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Cleveland Indians made
patsies of the Washington Sena
tors en route to their 1954 pen
nant but whistling Charley Dres
sen has the American League
champions dancing to his tune
this year.
Charley's Senators made it a
"lost week end" for the Tribe
when they took three of four
games and equalled their entire
1954 victory total against the In
dians. The Indians compiled an
18-4 record against Washington
last year but the Senators lead
this season's series, 4-3.
The Senators took Sunday's
opener, 6-4, and seemed about to
sweep the four - game series
when the Indians staged a six-
run, seventh-inning rally that
gave Early Wynn his seventh vic
tory of the year in the 6-3 night
cap. The split left the Tribe four
games behind the first - place
New York Yankees, who beat
the Chicago White Sox, 3 2,
in 10 innings after losing the
opener of their doubleheader,
5-3.
The Senators' ability to stand
up to the Indians could easily de
velop Into a crucial factor be
cause it was Cleveland's ability
to wallop Washington, Philadel
phia, Boston and Baltimore that
was the key to its record Ill
game victory total last year. The
Indians were 18-4 over the Sena
tors and Athletics, 20-2 over the
Red Sox and 19-3 over the Ori
oles for a composite 75-13 last
year. The Yankees, meanwhile,
played 61-27, .693 ball against
the same four teams.
Story Reversed
But, with the Senators acting
up this year, the story is
almost exactly reversed. The In
dians' composite mark against
the four-some this season is 19-8.
The Yankees, on the other hand,
have beaten those four teams,
26-8, for a .765 average and a
net gain of 3Vi games. Thus, the
turnabout has produced all but
a half game of the Yankees'
four-game lead.
Johnny Schmitz survived two
homers by Vic Wertz and one
by Bobby Avila to win the first
game for the Senators and
notch his fourth victory. Dean
Stone then shut out the Tribe
for six innings before the big
six-run rally. Key blow to the
frame was a three-run triple by
Al Smith. It was the 191st tri
umph of Wynn's big league ca
reer.
Billy Hunter's inside-the-park
homer gave the Yankees their
split after the White Sox routed
Tommy Byrne in the first inning
of the opener. Jim Rivera hit
the first grand slam homer of
his career to account for four
runs and Sherman Lollar fol
lowed with another homer. Dick
Donovan went the route, yielding
five hits for his sixth win. Andy
Carey, Mickey Mantle and Chico
Carrasquel hit homers in addi
tion to Hunter in the nightcap.
Seven Splits
Seven of the eight double
headers Sunday resulted in
splits and the eighth was pend
ing completion of a suspended
game betwen the Milwaukee
Braves and Philadelphia Phil
lies. The Braves won the opener,
5-4, with the aid of Ed Mathews
two homers but the Phillies had
a 4-0 margin when the nightcap
was suspended in the seventh
frame.
Rookie Duke Maas' first maior
league shutout and a 12-hit at
tack enabled the Detroit Tigers
to score a victory but Cal
Abrams' triple and two-run
homer paced the Baltimore
Orioles to a 6-5 decision in the
nightcap. Hector Lopez singled
home the winning run in the
19th inning to give the Athletics
a 5-4 win but the Red Sox won
the second game, 4-3, with the
aid of Norm Zauchin's eighth
home run.
Sal Maglie's seventh straight
victory enabled the New York
Giants to beat the Chicago
Cubs, 3-2, but Sam Jones won
his sixth decision in the night
cap when pinch-hitter Frankie
Baumholtz hit a three - run
homer in the ninth off relief
pitcher Marv Grissom. -Jim
Hearn was the loser.
The Brooklyn Dodgers came
up with six and four run ral
lies for a 10-6 conquest after Ken
Boyer's two homers sparked the
St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-4, 10
inning victory! Jackie Collum's
nine-hitter gave the Cincinnati
Redlegs a 5-1 win after Ramon
Mejias singled home the winning
run in the ninth inning to give
the Pittsburgh Pirates a 7-6 de
cision. LINESCORES:

Angeles dropped Sacramento
further into the cellar with 10-9
and 3-2 decisions and Holly
wood took sixth place away
from Portland 5-1 and 6-0.
Oakland's feat moved the
Acorns into third place as Hec
tor Brown and Don Ferrarese
turned in full-stint perform
ances. Bob Garber pitched a four
hitter in the first game and Rog
er Bowman had a five hitter in
the second as Hollywood swept
Portland aside.
R. C. Stevens hit two home
runs for the Stars, both in the
first game. .
