OREGON PAGE 3 B Cards Tumble Giants ChiSox Win Twinbill Washington Dumps Yankees Twice By JOHN GRIFFIN By United Press International Casey Stngel's moaning but the other managers are laughing to day because maybe just maybe there will be a pennant race in the American League this year after all. Just a week ago a grim gag was being told, in the AL, dugouts that "The Yankees might clinch tn flag by Memorial Day." But instead that holiday produced a doublelieader loss by the Yankees tft oi all people, the Washington ovaatofs, 13-8 and 7-2, to run their losing stre.ik to four -games. -The San Francisco Giants, lead ing the National League, were similarly jolted in 7-6 and 8-1 losses to the St. Louis Cardinals. , But, even though that cut the Giants' lead 'over the Milwaukee ' Braves to a single game, it wasn't a shocker like the Yankees' hu miliation by the Senators. While the Yankees were rolling up wins. Stengel kepi talking about the 1935 Yankee team that won 18 straight games and then lost nine straight now maybe somebody will listen to him. The panic isn't on yet, of . course, because the Yankees still lead by 6V? games but it was stunning to see the Senators out slug the Y'ankees. As Roy Sievers smashed three homers in the twin b;ll and Jim Lemon two. In other AL holiday games, the Chicago White box ran their win ning streak to five games by beat ing Detroit, 6-5 and 4-2: the Bos ton Red Sox handed Baltimore its eighth straight defeat, 2-0, before the. Orioles took the nightcap by the same score, and the Kansas City, A s rauied to win the night cap, 7-6, after losing the opener, 7-1. In other NL games, the Chicago cuos rained twice In the ninth in ring to beat Los Angeles, 3-2 and 10-8; Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh 7-4, in the opener and then lost 12-6: and Cincinnati drubbed Phil adelphia m a single game, 10-1 Nats 13-7, Yonks 8-2 ,TJie Senators blew a six-run lead in the opening game and then came back to win when Sievers and Ken Aspromonte each clouted a three-run homer in the eighth inning. But they led all the way in the nightcap after Sievers and Lemon homered in the first inning. Chuck Stobbs won the opener in relief while Pedro Ra mos went the route in the second with a seven-hitter.

Jack Kramer, the pro tennis ti tan, was startled to note that his current tourists were using 35 per cent more balls than ever be fore. Investigation disclosed that, despite the great number of matches, the players were prac ticing more than ever. COMPETITION IS FIERCE Pancho Gonzales explained Ihe extra work. Players like Lew Hoad improve 20 to 30 per cent on the pro lour," he said. "Now there is so much pro talent they're all struggling to stay alive So everybody practices more ei Ihcr to keep his edge or to catch up to the other fellow. I figure I've slill got a small percentage over the olhers but I have to work to keep it." . . .

His mates in the front line, td Elisian and Jimmy Reece, finally caught up with him and all three were running half a lap ahead of the Held. An extra lap was ordered in an attempt to straighten out the mess. The front row cars got into line, with the field straggling be hind them, and the green starting light flashed on. Dick Rathinann, the fastest 10- mile qualifier, was ahead going into the first turn. Elisian tried to pass him on the third turn and lost control. In an- instant, that northeast corner of the track looked like a race car junk yard. O'Connor, a handsome 29-ycar- old racing veteran from North Vernon, Ind., ran over the rear of the auto driven by Reece, a na tive Oklahoman now living in In dianapolis. O'Connor's car overturned and burst into flames. The body was unrecognizable. A car driven by Jerry Unser, a first-time starter from Long Beach, Calif., ran over two other cars and plunged over the retain ing wall, but he escaped with a dislocated shoulder. Of the 15 cars in the mixup, eight were knocked out of the race. Three others kept running. Four got back in the race after repairs. Chief bleward Harlan fengler said first reports indicated Elisian was responsible for the wreck and Kengler recommended that the United Slates Auto Club take disci plinary action.

He stayed, there automatically for the 25 minutes it took lo clear the track ana then here was a first-class race) The lead changed 17 times be fore the Arizona cowboy pulled into the victory circle for the win ner s kiss from movie star Shir ley MacLaine. (Jeorgc Amick. a 33-year-old speed veteran making his first 500 start, finished a little over 26 seconds behind Bryan. It was the lliird year Amick, from Venice, Calif., had tried to get into the race. Johnny Boyd of Fresno, Calif., who finished 42 seconds back of Amick. was running practically hub-to-hub with Bryan late in the race. Jim Rathmann of Miami, second last year, also was coming up fast. Amick made up almost a lull lap late in the race, running a sizzling 144 miles' an hour in a horizontal engine car, the Dern ier Special, similar to the Bryan Hanks racer.
