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.

he holds off until 1959, he would

ure he'll milk Ihe title of its "out

Meanwhile. Basilio won't stand

YANK EpGE EXPLAINED
If you wonder why (not at) the
way the New York Y'ankees keep
winning year after year, there's
a significant tipoff in the most re
cent Y'ankee report on its farm
teams.
The Yank St. Petersburg, Fla.,
farm club started olf with a 23-7
record and a five-game lead in
the Florida State League; its
Denver triple-A club won 19 or its
first 23, and its Fargo, N.D., Gar
den got away to a blooming 12-4
start . . . chips off the old block.
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." . . . Which sliH
doesn't explain why a postman
takes a walk on his day oil
The Carter handicap, run at
Belmont Park today, in 1944 pro
duced the first triple dead heat
ever recorded in a stakes race
when Boussuet. Wait A Bit and
Brownie all hit the wire nose-and
nose. There have been only six
triple dead heals in North Amcr
ican turf history . . . there was a
triple dead heat at Ruidoso Downs
last year but it meant little to the
bettors , . . it was for fourth
place . . .
Robin Hood was an Englishman
and William Tell was a Swiss but
Ihe world archery champions
come from the United States.
They are O. K. Smathcrs of Bre
vard. N.C., and Carole Meinhart
of Pittsburgh, who will lead 33 fi
nalists in a runoff at St. Louis
next weekend for places on the
U.S. team to compete at the
Brussels World Fair ... but I
still don't think William Tell said

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.
O Connor s death was the 4Btn

ing two years of races prior to
the first 500 in 1911.

in Italy last year and the United
States Auto Club champion the
last two years, started in seventh
position in the Belond Special
driven to victory in the Memorial
Day classic last year by Sam
Hanks.
The husky cigar-chewing Bryan
missed skidding and spinning
cars by inches and found himself
in first place at the end of the
tragic first lap. He stayed, there

it took lo clear the track ana

The lead changed 17 times be

(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

Hanks racer. '
The winning speed, 133.791, was
