This it what Neil Mayfield in K-I4 was probably thinking when he and Dale Himilwright got tangled up on the south corner of Gem Speedway. Himilwright's K-33 took the turn too fast and spun out of the race blocking Mayfield in the process. In the background is Bud Cook in K-4, light colored car, and Wilbur McGilvary in M-14. . .: - t lob Crawley Captures Speedway Main Event i 8. R. (Bob). Crawley made it four different winners, of the A Main In four hardtop racing pro grams last night by putting on a tremendous last half race to edge John Hitson In the weekly hard top show at Gems Speedway. So far this year the main event can not claim a double winner, and it is beginning to look like it will be a hard chore for any one driver to walk off with several main event nonors this season. , Crawley- in K-66 was in fourth spot at the end of 16 laps, with Hitson's K-7 leading the field of hardtoppers over the last nine laps of the 25 lap event. By the 17th and 18th laps Craw ley made some nice moves and took over second place behind Hit son for what proved to be a nip and tuck battle of the lead posi tion, until : Crawley pushed out ahead in the 21st lap, The orange and blue car man aged to -withstand Hitson's chal lenge lor the remaining four laps to win the exciting main event of a 10 race program. , ' Third spot in the A main went to Russ Newell in his K-15 and Allen Bouseman in K-25 captured the fourth place money, r In the last lap of the main event, Al Rossi in K-42 piled up on the barrier in front of the grandstand and had to be towed off the track after being in contention for the largest share of the race. Wes Owens' K-16 took a lead in the third lap of the B main and held off Bud Cook in K-4 to win the top place money of the semi-main event on the evening program. The B-main was marred by sev eral restarts at the first part of the, I race, which included a couple of exciting pileups on the south turn. Jim Barrett in K-S bounced high and wide after a mixup on the first lap, and after a restart Bar rett proceded to roll his car over the south end of the speedway oval. , In the consolation race. Pee Wee Roufs took the lead from Ray Brackman in K-22 after the Brack man car spun out on the very last turn before crossing the finish line. Brackman had led the pack most of the way over the 10 lap distance, and had a sizable lead going into the north corner, but lost control of his car and Roufs id K-50 and Guy Hitson in K-23 placed one-two,. Don Harris in K-19 and Ed Roufs in K-12 placed third and fourth. Owens also won the final heat and Cook in K-4 placed second to (he Keno driver for the second time in the evening. Ben Morrison in K-8 was third and Bouseman's K-25 was- lourth.' Dale Hanklns in K-l held off Ne well's easter egg to win the trophy dash of four laps, after he had won the first heat race of the Sunday evening program. Other heat race winners were Newell In the second 10 lapper, Hit son in the third and Slim Swenson in C-4. took, the last heat race of the evening. Also announced last night was the official word that Crawley now holds the new track record with his time of 14.47 that he turned in two weeks ago in time trials. ' Rossi previously held a 14.46 mark, but the track has been worked over and made wider and larger from last year so the offi cials gave the track mark to Craw ley even though his was one-one hundredth of a second slower than Rossi's time of last season. CLAYTON HANNON. Sport tditot Baseball Forgetting Public Relationship By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK Wl There should have been no great surprise or Indignation that a crowd of 36,000 .was kept sitting throug a cold rain for more than four hours the other night until the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Milwaukee Braves could contrive to struggle through the minimum five innings of a legal game and thus negate the crowd's rain checks. Baseball remains the one big business which steadfastly refuses to believe that public relations are very important. In general, the game's attitude is that what was good for the customer in Grand paw's day still is hot stuff. BUI Veeck was brave enough to chal lenge this moribund attitude when he took over the Cleveland In dians, and the young man no long er has a franchise. Those fans who pay well for the opportunity of watching Ted Wil liams swing at a baseball are treated. Instead, to the sight of a pitcher throwing four balls that the great man couldn't reach with an oar. It's good tactics, all right, but is it giving the crowd a run for its money? The other night in St. Louis, Hank Thompson of the New York Giants bit a home run in each of his first three times at bat. When he came up for the fourth lime he bad a chance to tie a rec ord of four consecutive homers in one game held jointly by Bob Lowe of the Boston Nationals of 1894 and Lou Gehrig of the 1932 Yan kees. Hank drew an intentional pass.. Baseball Is better than rassling, but one is moved to wonder now and then if the so-called national pasttlme couldn't borrow Just a little from the pachyderms. Manager Al Lopez of Cleveland has a strong feeling that the Yankees are going to miss Vic Raschi until it hurts before the American League race is finished. "Always before,' says the senor, "we could count upon facing Raschi, Reynolds and Lopat in every Series, and that was tough. Stengel always did the same thing against the Chicago White Sox too and saved bis second-stringers for the other clubs. He's going to miss the big guy plenty. if 4 W IM UTviT By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GOLF CINCINNATI Lloyd Mangrum of Niles, HI., won the Slst West ern Open Tournament by defeat ing Ted Kroll of New Hartford, N.Y., on the first hole of a sud den death playoff.

Maxim, 9, is a .7-5 underdog. Because Patterson is only 19. he Is not allowed to fight more than eight rounds under New York law. Many think the short distance will be a handicap to Maxim, notably a slow starter. Patterson has won 13 In a row. eight by knockouts, since he turned pro. He never Ttas been matched with an opponent as clever as Maxim, the No. 2 contender. Maxim must come In at 177, give or take a pound, while Patterson will be 10 pounds lighter. Network television audiences will see the bout (ABC-TV), start ing at 10 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time. Archie Moore, the light heavy champ, also will be in action for the first time since his Miami match with Maxim when he meets Bert Whltehurst of Baltimore, in a 10-rounder- at New York's St. Nicholas Arena. The two light heavy bouts are a continuation of the- Monday night television war with Du Mont carrying the St, Nick's show. Whltehurst, a solid puncher. Is a long-shot underdog against Moore, veteran of 138 scraps. For h bast-looking boat in tho water m D PmI DULUX.
