Roger Ward Gets
$100,000 Prize
In 500 Mile Race
Indianapolis, Ind. (CPD
Curly - haired Rodger Ward,
the speedway's hard - luck
driver, skirted five wrecks
Saturday and rode to a record
shattering victory in the 43rd
annual 500-mile auto race.
Never worse than fourth in
the gruelling, 200-lap grind,
the 38-year-old veteran of nine
races of the "500" bricks
nursed his new, dirty white
roadster through three well
spaced pit stops to capture
top price of more than $100,
000. His average speed for the
distance, 135.857 miles per
hour, smashed the mark of
135.601 set by Sam Hanks,
the 1957 winner. Hank was
one of the first to greet the
Los Angeles hot-shot in vic
tory lane.
Jim Rathman, a strong con
tender through the early part
of the chase, was runner-up
for the third time, about 20
seconds behind the victor.
Pole -sitter Johnny Thomson
was third, followed by nation
al champion Tony Bettenhaus
en and Paul Goldsmith, com
peting in only his second
"500."
Ward, arf Army pilot dur
ing World War H, led twice
during the early stages of the
Memorial day classic in hu
mid and threatening weather
before about 175,000 fans.
The third time he moved in
front, on the 86th lap, was
the charm.
Piles Up Margin
He piled up such a margin
over the rest of the pack that
he retained the lead when he
made his second pit stop just
after the halfway i lark, and
again after he had completed
165 laps.
But it was anybody's chase
during the first 75 miles.
Thomson, Ward, last year's
r jnza winner Jim Rathmann,
and Pat Flaherty dueled for
the lead around the 2V& mile
course.
It was a see-saw struggle
until Ward moved in front
when the little Thomson made
a 26-second pit stop.
After that Ward, the man
who finished in the first 10
only once previously, when
he was eighth three years ago,
ran his own race.
Ward used only 72 seconds
in his three pit stops for tires
and fuel. Had it not been for
the five accidents which slow
ed the fields pace for a total
of 43 minutes and 17 seconds,
Ward would have re-written
the record book still further.
Ward led at the end of 10
laps, was second after 20,
fourth after 30, third after
then runner-up until he
took the lead from Thomson.
Rathman also b'-ttered the
old record with a speed of
135.619 mph. Thomson was
clocked at 135.340, Betten
hausen at 134.768 and Gold
smith 13' 586.
Sixth was Johnny Boyd at
133.866; seventh, Duane Car
ter, 133.343; eighth, A. J.
Foyt, 132.648; ninth, Bob
Veith, 132.169; tenth, Al Ger
man, 131.872.
The first accident occurred
after only eight laps. Eddie
Sachs spun in the southwest
turn, then went :ito the in
field without damage to car
or driver. The yellow caution
light flashed on again after
36 laps when Len Sutton hit
the wall in the southwest
turn. He escaped unhurt. A
spectacular crash on the 47th
lap involved four cars in the
northeast turn am", slowed the
field for more than 11 min
utes. Wreck Described .
The wreck started when
Chuck Weyants spun and was
hit by Mike Magill who then
hit the wall. Cars driven by
Bud Larson a'nd Red Amick

the pile-up.
Magill was hospitalized with
neck and possible head injur
ies. Thus, it was that no speed
records were set until the race
was 70 laps old. Thj record
pace lasted through the 130Uf
lap, and again from the 160
lap mark to the finish.
Ward's victory was also a
great one for his chief me
chanic and car builder, A. J.
Watson, ihe affable Californ
ian who grew up in Mans
field, Ohio. Watson also built
the cars that won wit- Flah
erty in 1956 and Bob Sweik
ert the year before.
Flaherty and defending
"500" titlist Jimmy Bryan ran
into hard luck. Flaherty, on
the comeback trail following
severe injuries sustained in
racing crash a few months
after his victory here, escaped
injury, when his racer hit the
inside retaining wall on the
homestretch.
"I got a bit tired," he said.
Bryan was trying to make
it an unprecedented third
straight for the car, the same
one that Hanks drove to vic
tory two years ago. He had
clutch trouble from the very
start. His roadster got started
late, ran only two laps, rolled
into the pits and was out of
the race.
Car owner-driver Ray Craw
ford hit the wall in the north
east turn on Wards 121st lap
and was hospitalized in ser
ious condition with broken
ribs and a possible fractured
spleen. His mishap turned the
cafttion on for more than 17
minutes. '
Seven cars were running at
the finish, compared with 14
last year when eight hopefuls
were eliminated on the very
first lap in a 15-car pile-up
in which Pat O'Connor was
killed.

Inglewood, Calif. -(UPD- Vet

suffered serious head and
back injuries Saturday at
Hollywood Park when he was
thrown during the running of
the third race before a huge
Memorial day "crowd of 64,
266. - ' - ,
A preliminary, examination
first revealed he had frac
tures of the seventh and
eighth vertebrae. But a more
comprehensive check disclos
ed Neves also was suffering
from a skull fracture with an
intralranial hemorrhage.
Dr. Thodore Haller, track
physician, said the emergency
surgery was necessary to re
lieve a blood clot on the brain
and he had called in Dr. Eric
Yuhl and Dr. Joseph Orr to
perform the operation.
Neves, who had ridden
more than 3,200 winners in
his 25 years as a jockey, was
making a move aboard Rhin
when it clipped the heels of
Golden Rage and went to its
knees, throwing the rider to
the ground. Neves rolled over
several times but apparently
was not struck by his horse's
hoofs.
Neves was born in Boston,
Mass., and rode his first win
ner in 1934 at Longacres,
Wash. He grew up in the
south San Francisco area
and has had numerous ser
ious spills during his lengthy
riding career. In 1936 at Bay
Meadows after a spill he was
pronounced dead but when he
was given an injection of ad
renalin he revived and was
back in the saddle again.
During World War n he
was in the army and suffered
a broken back, but he return

war.
