6 B SUNDAY. JUNE 2. 1963 MLDFCRD MAIL. 1H1BUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON ubarb Simmers ver (Outcome of Indianapolis 500 By KURT FREUDENTHAL Indianapolis tUPO One of the biggest rhubarbs in the history of the classic 500-ir'Je Speedway race simnrv red with winner Parnclll Jones resting on his laurels and critic Eddie Sachs nursing a core chin. Never before was there a faster race and not in the memory of veteran Speedway raiibirds had the brickyard ever been hit with such con troveray over the outcome. Both Sachs, who tangled with Jones in a fist fight at a luncheon Friday, and Roger McCluskey, who complained because the winner was not flagged out of the race, failed to show up at Thursday night's victory banquet. Jimmy Clark, the flying Scotsman who drove his Lo tus-Ford to a second-place fin- ish only 34 seconds behind Jones, did show up at the ban quet. He watched Jones and his crew carry off a record jackpot of nearly $130,000. Nearly half a million dol lars was shelled out to pay off drivers. Clark, unanimous choice for "rookie of the year" honors, became the first foreigner to win the award. The storm over the Speed way started brewing soon af ter Jones pulled into the win ner's circle. Sachs, who got 17th place, accused track officials of be ing "talked out of" giving Jones the black flag for spill ing oil. A vapor of smoke trailed the winner's exhaust late in the race. Sachs said It was "the first time in Speedway history that a SCO-mile race has a winner that doesn't deserve it." He said Jones should have been ousted from the race when oil leaked from his car and made the track dangerously slip pery. McCluskey, who spun off the course on Jones' final lap when he had third place clinched, said Jones "didn't have any more business out on that race track than the man in the moon." Other Indianapolis veterans complained that Jones had picked up precious seconds on Clark under the yellow flag, when drivers are supposed to slow down and maintain their positions. Manipulation Charged Feelings between Sachs and Jones became strained as the result of the accusations that officials "manipulated" the race in favor of Jones. The powderkeg exploded at the luncheon, i When Sachs congratulated Jones for winning, Parnclll re plied "I don't like some of the things you've been saying about us." "I told him I was spinning In his oil," Sachs said, "and he said 'You're a liar'." Following another hot ex change of words, Jones shot a fist that landed on bach s ear. Sachs said he was cut about the chin and cheek by Jones' ring as they scuffleu briefly. At the victory banquet, chief steward Harlan Fenglcr said he was prepared to slop Jones, thus depriving him of victory, but said the issue re solved itself when the vapor trail disappeared. ' "I don't think Parnclll needed any help to win this race," said fellow driver john ny Boyd.

Musial Pop Wins Tilt United Press International Stan Musial, a man who has done everything can now claim he also has seen every thing after winning a gamt with a pop-up that was de clared out because of the in field fly rule. If that beats you, don't worry too much about it be cause it also beat the San Francisco Giants Friday night and gave the St. Louis Cardi nals a 6-5 victory that boosted them within two games of th National league lead. Here's how it happened: Musial came to bat with the bases full In the ninth inning, nobody out and the score tied at 5-5. He popped the ball up a few feet behind first base and the umpires immediately called the infield fly rule. That means it's an automatic out but the Giants' infield, some what confused, allowed the ball to drop and Curt Flood raced home from third base with the winning run. Musical was called out but credited with a run batted in because under the infield fly rule runners may advance at their own risk. Mechanics Tools For RENT at A to Z Rental 1213 N.
