Herb Score Suffers Severe Injury to Eye Cleveland (U.R) Herb Score, the Cleveland Indians' "million dollar" pitcher, was "resting com fortably" in Lakeside hospital to day with a severe eye injury that doctors fear may have damaged mis sight. The brilliant, 23-year-old south paw was struck in the right eye by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald of the New York Yankees in the first inning of a game Tuesday night at Municipal stadium. The blow also fractured Score's nose. A 20-game winner with the Indians last season and the lead ing strikeout artist in the major leagues for the past two years, Score was reported in "satisfac tory" condition early this morning. '"There has been severe hemor rhaging of the eye, but the exact nature of the injury will not be determined for a few days," said Dr. C. W. Thomas, a Cleveland eye specialist, who was called in to examine Score by Dr. Don Kelly, the Indians' team physic ian. Kelly said Score "had some light perception" when he exam ined the tall left-hander and ad mitted, "that's encouraging." After being struck, Score fell heavily to the ground with his hands clasped over his face. Blood streamed from his nose and mouth, but he did not lose consciousness. He was removed from the field on a stretcher and later was taken to the hospital.

(U.R) A couple of "old pros" of the fight game, Nino Valdes and Johnny Holman, collide here tonight i:i a nationally-televised 10 - round er and it may be the cross-roads for them both. Valdes, installed as a 16-5 fa vorite, is 32 years old and is ranked ninth nationally. But he has been boxing for 15 years and he needs this win to keep h!is place among the challeng ers for Floyd Patterson's heavy weight crown. The bulky Cuban has won six in a row now, including four straight knock-outs in Eur ope. But the last time he was on a national TV show he was knocked out by Eddie Machen, the No. 2 ranking heavyweight but he was impressive in his last outing here when he decis ioned the South African giant, Ewart Potgieter. At least nine of the 10 top drivers of last season are expect ed to contend for 1957 honors in hardtop auto racing at Valley View speedway near Ashland. Opening program of the cam paign is set for this Saturday night, May 11, with time trials at 7 p.m. and the first race at 8 p.m. Heading the list of the 1955 top racers whrare slated to re turn is, of course, Crock Hunt er, who was the track champion with 409 points. . The other leading drivers were Wayne Lemley 336, Bob Wilcox 289, Bob JenKins zbu, Tohnnv Jones 250. Rusty Phil lips 236, Lou Kurz 202, Fred Arnberg 190, Allen uousman 189. Wavman Core 171, Neil Wooldridge 168 and Bernie Mil ler 151. It is anticipated that all but Core will be on hand this season. Thp foreeoine racers may be using their same numbers this summer since that privilege is reserved to the top 10. Colley Starter Track Manager Phil Bryant has reported that J. D. (Jack) Colley will be starter this sei son. Gerald Pettit will be timer and Ralph McGuire scorer. At. nouncer will be Gregg MacDou- gall. There'll be -a new look about for first night fans at the Valley View track. The oval itself has been improved and there'll be a considerable change in ap pearance of a number of the cars. A number of changes in rules have been made. Most signifi cant is in allowing cars to have engines up to 280 cubic inches. The regulation permits use of most of the 1956 model motors and coupled with track im provements should make for fas ter racing. After last Sunday's open house most of the drivers re ported the track in fine shape except for a couple of rougn spots. These were being cared for this week. Itvhas been a slow winter in the valley but things will be speeded up Saturday for racing enthusiasts.
