(International) Chicago Beats Orioles, 5-2; Mantle Leads Yankees to Win By carl lundquist United Press Snorts Writer " Pitcher Jim Wilson is making his new boss, Chuck Comiskey of th White Sox, look like a pretty slick trader. The youthful Comiskey, who Ik carrvins on with the White Sox after the departure of such geniuses as Frank Lane and Paul Richards, swung the deal on Mav 21 that broueht Wilson and utility player Dave Philley to Chicago. The WMte box gave up pitchers Mike1 Fornieles and Connie Johnson, third baseman George Kell, and outfielder Bob Nieman and the fans began to howl loudly that Chicago had been rooked. Today the ex-White Sox boss, trader Frank Lane is catching heck in St. Louis for his "shimmy and shake" transactions and the Baltimore fans are grumbling at Richards for some of his deals, particularly the one involving Wilson. Wilson Cops Fifth Monday night hard-working Jim won his fifth game since donning a Chicago uniform and the 5-2 seven hit triumph was his second over the Orioles since the trade was made. What makes it worse on Rich ards, the former White Sox man ager who completed the deal for Baltimore, is that only Nieman has done much for the Orioles. He has been hitting well but Kell has been hurt and the two pitchers have been just so-so. But Wilson, who has a 9-3 mark now,- has turned in one good game after another. And in Monday night's triumph, which kept the runner-up Chicagoans 5V4 games behind the leading SPORTS McCoy Wins Main Event At Ashland Jack McCoy of Medford won first place in the main . event In Sunday stockcar races at the Valley View speedway.

IWITtD STATU AUTO CUJS Foftf's rscord was timed and certified by Uw United Statts Auto dub A Ford V-8 hurtled across the brick and asphalt surface of tough and testing Indianapolis Speed way . . . whirling through the tight turns and flashing over the straight stretches , . . to set a mark that no stock car ever reached before! Previous to Ford's record run, no other stock car had gone even one lap at Indianapolis at 100 m.p.h., but one-of Ford's laps was timed at the electrifying speed of 113.7 m.p.h.! And Ford averaged 107.126 m.p.h. for the full five hundred miles . . . close to the average set by the extremely costly, specially-built racer which won the Me morial Day "500"! Ford fully realizes that the welter of claims and counter claims about "racing victories" (many of them completely contradictory) must be confusing and disillusioning to the public. Ford ran this race against time, over the true "Classic" distance and at the most famous track in America, In order to dispel this cloud of doubt and disbelief and prove that no one outperforms Ford! , Peter de Paolo, leader of the team of drivers that piloted the winning Ford, states flatly: "No other stock car could have equalled this per formance!" And Pete de Paolo should know, for he was the first driver to win the "500" Classic with a better than 100 m.p.h. average. And now he comes back with a group of drivers to estab lish a stock car record with the great '56 Ford! Yet, this" was no mere race against the stop watch. Ford's alert responsiveness and sheer readability proved more than a match for the treacherous turns . . . taking them smoothly and giving the great Ford V-8 a chance to use its blazing acceleration in the straightaways. Ford wrote this new mark large and bold in the record books. And the whole Ford did the trick. From the hood-full of throbbing horse power to the road-hugging rear end, Ford demonstrated that it has what it takes to make your driving more enjoyable.
