THERE'S something else going on in Indianapolis this month besides the eerie shrieking of high-powered engines and clatter of parts being strewn along the Speedway straightaways. Tt'i enough to drown out about anv other sporting event but down the Ian week of May.

That will gnal the of most the nation' top golf professionals for the xth -iiu4i '500' Festival Open tourney and event which is among the top dore cash attractions on the PGA tour. Lat year the pro tkifd tee shod and putted If they were using hatehall hats when the knights of the roaring mad offered competition in the form of carburet ion tests. This trip the silence will he deafening the whole tournament hai been shipped to Greentree Country Club where there will be nothing more districting than wind whistling through the willows. Selection of Greentree for the 72-hole shoot may have newspapermen digging for fresh stones because all '500' Open records figure to withstand the onslaught. The pros some of them will give Greentree'j par 71 a good whacking But this course stretches more than 7.000 ards.

nearlv 600 longer than Speedway, and there's mucho trouble in store for the wild swingers. Here are the '500' Open records and they were established at Speedway, of course: Front nine 29, by Bob Goeti in 1962; Back nine 29. by George Archer in 14. 18 holes 61, by Jim Ferrier in 1963; 36 holes 131, by Joe Campbell (63-68) in 12 and by Dave Ragan (66 65) in 12; 54 holes 199, hv Jerry Barber (63-69 67) in 10; 72 holes 2fi4, by Billv Casper (66 67-67-64) in BOB ROSBCRG used the fewest putts 22 on opening div 19f2, and the tournev has produced only one hole-in one, by Garv Floan during the second round in 1963. Floan ared the 133 ard 16th hole with an eight-iron shot.

There also has been only one double eagle, a deuce on the 45-ard 18ih Dick Crawford got it with a drive and six-iron to finish his second dav effort last year. FT NEVFR HURTS to have the game'i "Big Three" on hand in fact, it'i the difference between making money and iweatmg to break even but only Gary Player has indicated a willingness to participate. Player, the defending champion, has agreed verbally to take a crack at the $12,000 first prize. But Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus are horses of another hue. An agent does all their talking and the latest word is that neither will deride until the last minute Palmer seems least likely to appear since he Is committed to playing In a charity match at Philadelphia May 2(1 with former President Hsenhower.

Our tourney starts the following day. All other previous "500" winners are expected to show including Doug Ford, who took the first two tourneys, Casper (1962). and Dow Finsterwald (1963). Among other top performer! lined up are Gene Littler, flamboyant Chi-Chi Rodriguez, Tony Lema, Julius Boros, Doug Sanders, long-amacking Bobby Nichols, and Bruce Crampton, the Australian star who won last week'i Colonial Open at Fort WnrSji. Ford, who has played in all five '500' Opens, has pocketed the most cash here--S 1 9,335 85 to $18,033 33 for Player.

Finsterwald, with $15,175, and Casper, with $14,773, are the onlv others who've taken more than $9,000 to the bank.

Romtayjt A. J. FOYT FINDS THE KEY IN LOTUS-FORD Champion Hits 161 MPH Best To Date San Francisco (UPI) Jesus Alou. Willie Mays and Tom Haller hit home runs yesterday in one of the best displays of power for San Francisco this year and enabled the Giants to score a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Alou hit his third homer of the season with the bases empty in the third and one nut later Mays, who also had two doubles, banged his 11th.

Haller chipped in with his first with Jim Hart aboard in the sixth inning. BACK-TO-BACK doubles by Willie McCovey and Mays produced San Francisco's first run in the opening inning and the Giants got their other score when Hart tripled home Mays just before Haller's homer. The Giants had only eight hits, but they were good for 22 total bases. Jack Sanford was tagged for fix hits and all three Chicago runs. Frank Linzy pitched the final innings to save Sanford'i third win against a single loss.

Chicago scored on a double by Don Landrum and a single by Glen Beckert in the first and added runs in the seventh and eighth. Frnie Brogho was charged with four hits and three runs in the four innings he worked and took hit third loss of the season without a victory.

T-t 14 A-4 410 drawing is the only new pro Koufax Fans 13 In 3-0 Shutout By DAVE OVERPECK and RAY MARQUETTE Tomorrow's battle for the pole is beginning to shape up as a wide-open affair as five drivers soared into and over the 159 mile-an hour mark yesterday. Setting the pace was the Houston flyer.

A. J. Foyt, with a sizzling stop watch timed Goodyear Or Firestone Tires? Page 21 Pit Past tat 29 161.1 in his Sheraton-Thomp- Lotus-Ford yesterday morning. The defending champion's rapid ride was almost two miles an hour faster than Jimmy Clark'i official track standard of 159.377 set in qualifying last year. The Scot was the second man on the speed pole yesterday with a 160.142 circuit on the electric eye in his Lotus-Ford in a run just before the 6 o'clock track closing.

Clark's run was of great satisfaction to the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. The former world road racing champion was on their product, while Foyt turned his swift circuit on Ooodyears. Also climbing into the 159 circle was Parnelli Jones with a lap of 159.574 on the electric timing eye at the end of the main stretch. His crew and several other stop watches at the entrance to Gasoline Alley had him a very strong 1599. The other two over the 159 plateau were rookie Mario Andretti in 'the Dean Van Lines rear-engine Ford and Dan Gurney in the Yamaha Lotus-Ford.

Andretti was clocked at 159.5 on several stop watches In the first turn. Gurney cranked up a 159 mph lap In his first day of practice. Foyt was out again in the final hour of practice but this time he was shaking down his new Lola for the first time. He didn't try to match his morning run but gave the Lola a pretty swift warmup with one lap clocked at more than 151 on the electric eye. Foyt said he still had not decided which car he will try to qualify tomorrow, but from all indications it probably will be the Lotus.

Chief mechanic George Big-notti said. "It's A. decision, but we're just about going to have to go with the Lotus. The other car is a good one but we just haven't had time to get it ready." CLARK'S CHANCE of reclaiming top time of the day honors from Foyt came to a silent stop in the first turn of the lap immediately following his quick circuit. The engine quit cold.

Clark finally parked it in the infield on the backstretch. Groat "I lost my spark," explained the little Scotsman when the wrecker came around to tow him in. "I was going through the first turn when she quit cold. It didn't make a sound just quit." Actually, Clark's run ended a week of frustration for the Lotus-Ford crew. He had been running a strong 15S mph last Saturday with what was supposed to be a race setup on the car.

The crew switched over to its qualification setup this week but lost two miles an hour. Jones' run was also a satisfying one. The 1963 winner has been having a hard time getting over the 157-mile-an-hour mark. To top things off, he ran out of fuel on a practice run early in the afternoon and had to pull off the track in the first turn. While the 159-plus quintet was picking up all the attention, several other drivers were getting around pretty well, too.

The electric eye caught Bobby Unser at 157.343 In the STP Oil Treatment Novi and his crew had him at 158.3 on their stop watches. Don Branson had his Wynn's Special up to 157 and Johnny Rutherford was up to 156.3 in his Racing Associates Hali-brand-Ford. Roger McCluskey worked up to 155.655 MPH in the Ail-American Racing Team Halibrand-Ford and Lloyd Ruby was over the 155 barrier in his DuPont Golden 7 of the same design. Rookie Gordon Johncock continued to pace the roadster Jf 1" 4 and Offenhauser contingent with six laps over 155.6. He was handling the Weinberg? Homes Special.

Devised to eliminate the crush of lining up in the garage area the night before, the drawing will be conducted by United States Auto Club officials at 6:15 in front of the control tower. Only a properly-delegated representative of each entry will be permitted to participate in the 30-minute drawing session. CHIEF STEWARD Harlan Fengler outlined all qualifying rules of order to drivers, car owners and mechanics last night shortly after the Speedway closed its practice day. He emphasized that the ELIA'S SMASH over the fence in left was his eighth homer of the season as he had one in each of the three games here. The Indians threatened in the ninth after F.lia singled off Cesar Tovar's glove.

Johnson flied out but McNertney doubled, Elia stopping at third. But Danny Murphy popped out and DeBusschere whiffed. In the llth, Carroll Hardy walked and made second after Kosco's fly to medium center. Martinez received an intentional pass and Henry cracked the next pitch to the same spot where McNertney's drive was propelled. It was Henry's seventh homer but his first in the Denver park.

Indianapolis goes to Salt Lake City to open a series tonight with the Tnbee's Bill Fischer (2-0) pitching against Bill Faul (0-1).

Veteran driver Don Branson was one of the few to ask a question. He queried Fengler about the IMS reaction to a drivers group's proposal for qualifying and was told it apparently had been turned down because Fengler had not been advised of it. "WE WANTED a stipulation put in that whenever a driver pulled his car up to the starting line on a qualifying day, he should be charged with one of his three official attempts," said Branson.

"We think he should be ready to actually qualify when he falls in line and gets to the starting point." Instead, rules of order will be maintained from the past. A driver will not be considered on an "official" run until he raises his hand and asks for the green flag. If he thinks he has not accepted the flag, he can pull into the pits his first time around and present his case to US AC officials.
