'Gentlemen, Start Your Engines' Foyt, Clark Favored In '5009 fesiS'''' fe 1 :0 i 7 Ck 7n i I BT DICK FORBES Of The Enquirer Staff INDIANAPOLIS The 49th running of the world's richest and most heavily-attended sports event, the Memorial Day 500-Mile Race, is scheduled at Indianapolis Speedway today amid a sea of uncertainty the old track hasnt experienced in years. When 33 steel-fisted and victory-minded drivers begin the long, dangerous trek around the 2V4-mile oval at 11 a. a crowd upwards of 225,000 fans, probably mere like a quarter-of-a-million, will be on hand. They will contribute to the record purse money of over $600,000, of which the winner will pull in $150,000. And this isn't counting part of the loot from a nation-' wide closed-circuit television network (blackout within 180 miles of Indianapolis) or a 300-statlon, world-wide radio hookup.

While Indianapolis was bulging at her seams, like grandma in a schoolgirl's girdle, Sunday, the consensus in the pits and gasoline alley at the Speedway was that A. J. Foyt the two-time winner and defending champion, and Jimmy Clark, the canny Scot from Duns, Scotland, are the drivers to beat. But the real facts were that the race is a big, big question mark. The field is dominated, for the first time, by lightweight, rear- engine cars, with only four front-engine Offenhauser roadsters and two super- charged V-8 Novls starting.

Almost every driver and every racing team has experienced problems, most of them arising from the simple fact that the new engines, 17 of them Ford V-8's, are too powerful for their 1250-pound chassis. But cars with' the old, traditional Meyer-Drake Offenhauser engines mounted in the rear (there are 10 such) have been experiencing Just as bad a time. Making the race even more unpredictable is that one third of the field of cars will be driven by rookie Dodgers Collide Los Angeles outfielders Lou Johnson, right, and Al Ferrara go after a liner off the bat of Reds' Leo Cardenas In sixth collide and ball gets away for Ferrara was carried from the was disclosed later that he a mild concussion.

All cars are equipped with airplane type, non--leakable fuel tanks. Each car Is required to make at least two pit stops, and fuel tanks will now be filled by gravity, in contrast to pressurized fueling systems of the past. This virtually sures that each pit stop will -take about one minute. The first 12 finishers last year toured the 500 miles-without changing tires, and it is not expected'that' changes will be necessary this year either. The speedway has seats for about 181,000, and about 5000 remaining unsold seats will be placed on sale at 5 a.

"Gentlemen, start your engines." Nancy Running 3rd In Archery Tourney Special To The Enquirer NASHVILLE, Ind. Cincinnati's Nancy Vonderhelde Kleinman was off the pace Sunday in her quest of a third straight Brown County archery championship and her 50th career tournament title. Miss Vicky Cook, of Minneapolis, led with 1876 points at the end of the second day in the competition while Mrs. Kleinman had 1766 for third place. Grace Amborski of Toledo was second with 1788 points.

The final round of the three-day Open tournament will be filed today. instructions are Mario Andretti, right front; Jim Clark, top left, and Parnelll Jones, top right. The '500' trlphy is in front of Foyt, who won the classic last year. AP Wirephoto Crampton Nabs '500' Golf By One Stroke In first place, and the racer of famed International pilot Dan Gurney, who qualified third. Clark, driving car No.

82, is equipped with Firestones, and it is primarily because of this fact alone that two-time winner Roger Ward, who failed to qualify this year, picks Clark to win. Clark, second-fastest qualifier, is driving a green and yellow Lotus Ford, one of two identical cars entered by the "team Lotus," and directly headed by Colin Chapman, president of the Lotus Automobile Co. of England. Rookie pilot Bobby Jons of Miami, wheels the other buggy, No. 83.

Many of the drivers have had tire difficulties in practice. And many others have had chassis and stabilizing problems, especially Foyt, 1963 champ Parnelli Jones, and the veteran Lloyd Ruby of Wichita Falls, Tex. Indeed, Jones and Ruby both crashed into the wall after qualifying two weeks ago, and their cars had to be rebuilt. Foyt also crashed into the wall even before qualifying. Today's winner is almost certain to top the record 147.350 miles per hour set by Foyt last year and unless excessive slow laps are required under the yellow light flashed on when crashes occur the winner may very well top the 150 "dream time." Most experts figure a 149 mph average will win.

And when he whiffed pinch-batter Charley James in the ninth Inning to end it, he registered his 1802nd career strikeout. Vada Pin-son, Cincinnati's top hitter and only southpaw batter in the lineup, fanned three times. Sammy Ellis, most reliable of manager Dick Sis-ler's suddenly poor pitching staff, started in quest of his eighth victory. he absorbed his second defeat, leaving in the midst of a bat around third frame in which the Dodgers sewed it up with six runs.

Following in ineffective order were Jim O'Toole, Roger Craig and Jim Duf-falo, all of them painfully battered as Los Angeles muscled three doubles and a triple into the assault. The sore-armed OToole was Sister's first relief choice when Ellis lost his stuff with two runners across in the third, the bases loaded and the Dodgers on top, 4-1. This was the 24th game in the last 27 that the skipper had to signal for help from the bullpen. OToole retired only one' batter, even walking Koufax in his four-batter stint. Craig and Duffalo finished, each getting cuffed for two runs over the last five innings.

In this string of five setbacks, Red pitching has surrendered 47 runs in 40 innings, an average of 8.4 per game. Ellis was trailing 2-0 by the time the Reds batted in the second inning. Wes Parker, with the first of his three hits, singled as did Willie Davis. Parker scored on Ron Fairly's slicing double to left and when Tommy Harper threw According to this rapid pace, only $427,608 is needed to equai last year's Memorial Day splurge. And, with the first major stakes offering the $7500-added Kentucky Handicap spicing today's holiday program, the prospect of surpassing last year's mutuei bonanza looms even brighter.

AP BY BILL FORD Of The Enquirer Staff LOS ANGELES Even the most miserable batters in the National League eagerly await Cincinnati pitching these days. Like, for Instance, the Los Angeles Dodgers, a bunch of creampuffers whose hold on first place is due to incredibly competent moundsmen.

But Sunday the Dodger bats went to work and enjoyed it in sending the bea-leaguered Reds to their fifth straight defeat, 12-5. For the Dodgers, who lugged a low, low .247 batting average into the debacle, the 13 hits they collected off four hurlers resulted in their biggest offensive show of the season. Given all this wealth, Sandy Koufax, usually tied down in pressured duels, merely coasted to his seventh triumph in 10 decisions. The incomparable lefthander, laboring this season with an arthritic condition in his pitching arm, spaced five hits. En" route, Sandy struck out 13 in a marvelous performance that delighted customers who saw the league leaders bump the down a notch into third place, four games from the top.

But the game fell beyond the Reds' reach in the third when the league-leaders batted 11 hitters, six of them scoring on a blend of four hits, one a two-run double by Maury Wills, and four walks. It was a 9-1 game when Davis doubled and John-Roseboro singled in the fourth off Craig. By the fifth it was 10-1 on Wes Parker's single, an error and a fairly single. Thanks to a Dodger error and a collision in the outfield between Lou Johnson and Al Ferrera that gave Leo Cardenas a triple, the Reds counted four times in the sixth to make the final score look reasonably respectable. Harper reached first on Lefebvre's boot and made it home on Plnson's single and Robby's double.

Deron Johnson's infield grounder scored another and Robby and Johnson rode home on the triple by Cardenas. With Duffalo on the scene in the eighth the Dodgers added two useless runs, the walking Dick Tracewski and. Maury Wills, hit by a pitch, tallying on Parker's triple. The Dodgers still might be batting had not Parker tried to stretch his hit into an inside the park homer, only to be cut down on Rose's fine relay. Barton Collapses, Held In Hospital Special To The Enquirer TOLEDO, Ohio Bob Barton of Covington, a 22- year-old catcher for the Atlanta Crackers of the International League, was reported in fair condition at Mercy Hospital here Sunday.

The former Covington Holmes athlete was admitted to the hospital Saturday night after collapsing In the locker room following Atlanta's loss to Toledo. A hospital spokesman said Barton was undergoing a series of tests to determine the cause of the collapse. He Is the son of Mrs. Nell Barton, 511 W. Southern Covington.

Cincinnati-owned Two Relics, one of the standout performers in the staSle of F. B. (Don) Frasert Happy Time Farm. Two Relics performed creditably at Arlington Park last August, finishing second to Tierra Del Fuege in a $40,000 clalmer. Prior to that, the Fraser color bearer won a pair of turf tests ir $25,000 company at Arlington.

But, perhaps the horse to watch is A. F. Polk's National Hookup, a tough filly that has campaigned In Garden State and Gulf-stream. Dark Clover, which raced pilots who have never raced this treacherous track before. The 11 newcomers, headed by 25-year-old Mario Andretti who 1 has won great respect for qualifying fourth, is the biggest crop since 1951.

Added to it all Is the "battle for tires." This year, for AP Wirephoto Crampton Blasts en route to victory umph or at least a playoff. Going into the final hole, Crampton pulled his drive on the par-5, 580-yard hole into deep grass and his second shot carried only a foot. His third went 30 yards into the fairway and then his 3 -iron carried nearly 210 yards to within less than four feet of the pin. That gave him a par for the hole and the tourney. Crampton previously won the Bing Crosby and Colonial tourneys, the latter earlier this month.

Sunday's victory brought his official earnings for the year to Crampton had only one weak hole, the fifth, when IN THE filth race on Saturday's program, quite a few eyebrows were raised when a 14-year-old gelding appeared in the post parade. He was Roman Spy, an old campaigner without saying. But, quite a capable one during his lengthy career. The DowiiS' "graybeard" scored a neck decision over Hay Roger in a five-and-a-haif furlong sprint. Not too in.pressive at first sight, but the most significant point of this routine victory is that fact that it was Roman Spy's 49th win.

Twelve of the 21 cars are mounted with Goodyear tires including Foyt's Lotus Ford, starting on the pole he took a triple bogle seven. His second shot went out of bounds and once on the green he missed from two feet out. However, he had three birdies on the front nine for an even-par 35 and added a par 36 on the back nine.

(UPI) Bruce Crampton became the PGA golf tour's first triple winner of the year Sunday by taking the "500 festival" tourney' with a score of 279, five under par. It was the second year In a row that a foreign competitor won the tourney and the handsome Australian pocketed $15,200 to move up from fifth to second in official money earnings right behind Master's champion Jack Nicklaus, who passed up this sixth annual tourney.

A pressure-packed even-par 71 over the tricky Green-tree course gave Crampton the victory by one shot, but it wasn't assured until the 18th green where he knocked in a four-foot putt for a par 5. Lionel Hebert and Jackie Cupit tied for second place with 280s, 4 under par, and Chi Chi Rodriguez and Dan Sikes were next at 281. Only three other players managed to beat par over the four-day route. Johnny Pott and Miller Barber posted 282s and Don Mas-sengale a 283. At even-par 284 were Don January, who closed out with a course record 65; Dale Douglass and Mason Rudolph.

South Africa's Gary Player, the winner here last year, was 11 strokes off the pace at 290. Crampton went Into the final 18 holes with a two-shot lead over Hebert and Barber, thanks to a four-under-par 67 And it was a pressure-packed 3-iron blast on 18 that saved his tri- third In the Mt Washington Handicap Saturday, is scheduled to come back today.
