This brought a deluge of telephone calls to the Speedway, switchboard and to Indianapolis news-papers. But, Hulman issued this official statement early last night: "PREPARATIONS for thp 40th annual 500-mile race at 10 a.m.

(CST) Wednesday are proceeding according to schedule. The Speedway management definitely is not considering the possibilities of a postponement." The annual drivers' meeting is set for noon today in the Pagoda Yard with Actress Virginia Mayo scheduled to say a few words to drivers, along with Hulman There also was a hazardous condition yesterday in the southwest and southeast turns because there was a lake which came right up to the edge of the safety apron and was several feet deep. If a driver had spun in there, he might have drowned. in the 10th. Phillips allowed four hits, all singles, in the regulation nine cantos but never more than one to an inning.

He didn't permit a Tribesman to reach third in this stretch Larry Raines opened the 10th, however, with a double which struck Ihe fence in center at the 410-fOOl mark Phillips then was responsible lor the game's only error as he tried to pick the runner off second. The ball hit Raines on the back, caroming tow arils center, and the Trihrsman ran In third. Joe Altotielli then provided the laeriftci fly, the ball going deep enough Unities had only to trot home. Bill Harrell, staying in the race for the league batting championship, got his second hit to finish Phillips and put Ins average at MANAGER George Selkirk summoned another lefthander, Roberto Vargas, to pitch to the lefthanded-hatting Dave Pope and Carleton Wtlley to hurl to Karl Averlll, Both rope and A wiill were called out on strikes to have six Indians reined tins fashion. Cray was pitching with men on bases in both of his sessions but took care of these situations.

Casque's toughest assignment came the third after Joe ECoppe led off with a triple Concluded From Page 1 and put it in line for a possible qualification run. attitude was that he would not start either of the Novis unless he was given a chance to qualify both of them. Alter time ran out last night without his being given a chance to qualify the second one, he said he was more determined that ever that he would not start the car qualified by Russo THE FIT APRON was "Heartbreak Alley" as a dozen cars were left standing in line waiting for time trials when the final deadline dropped. There was an immediate angry reaction from one car owner. Henry S.

Lammers of Terre Haute. Lammers also is owner of the Salem Speedway and he said that he is going to cancel all four of the sprint-car racing programs of the United States Auto Club for this summer. That would be a mortal blow to the USAC's Midwest spring car circuit, the cradle of many an Indianapolis star. Lammers' Chesty Special was first in line and Driver Mike Magill of Haddonfield, N.J., would have had a chance to "hump" from the official starting lineup the Shannon's Special, driven by Duke Dinsmore of Dayton, O. ALSO AMONG the cars washed out of any chance at a time trial was the Bardahl-Ferrarl Experimental Special.

Giuseppe iNino) Farina, world's driving champion, originally was assigned to it, but rookie Earl Mot ter of Hayward, was scheduled to attempt to qualify ii. as the Tribe gained a l0 victory. Kd (lasque turned in a magni-ficient performance in checking the Braves on two hits for eight frames. In the ninth, Mi.nager Kerby Farrell used a pinchhitter for Casque who was removed because of a sore arm his last out eight days ago. John Gray completed I he hitewash job in hurling the final two sessions and gave up Wichita's third hit.

Serving up a dazzling assortment of curves, changeups and shdeis, Ford never permitted Boston runner to advance past second base as he struck out live and walked only one in pitching his eighth straight complete game.

This unplanned spectacle that items from Hip Inrliannpoll Motor Sperwav's "civc-'cm-a-fcreak" extension In qualifying time has backfired on tin- official Speedway family anil Welch.

It also points RlarinRly ihat the Speedway house isn't in order and that the 500-Mile Bce il still something biKei than one or two rar" cars. Car owners and the Speed-pit) hy now have learned some Valuable lessons from this latest hassle and future wrangles can be avoided by rewriting the official entry blrnk Why not guarantee minimum hours' of qualifying time with the absolute deadline two days before the race? Twenty-eight hours were scheduled for this year's qualification period. Approximately 12 hours ere used because ol rainouts IT's POSSIBLE qualify 40 race cars in 12 hours hut the hims of mechanics and drivers, who Ramble on ideal racing conditions, can waste a lot of qualifying time. Speedway management could set up a qualifying schedule that wouldn't stick its neck out. Responsibility could be placed entirely upon car owners if there is a guaranteed minimum qualifying period.

The Speedway family, which wags the 17SAC tail here, sincerely believes it was bending over backwards in permitting a fwo-hour extension last Sunday. The two hours coincide with the two hours car owners Inst that first qualification day when all track action was stopped to permit record-breaking patten-ger car traffic to cross the track into the infield parking area The faux pas was that Speedway announced the two-hour extension Sunday before the ti p.m. closing time which by then had a full field of cars. ANYWAY oi lice It, no single person is at fault in this argument, hut the Speedway should consider again the ap-jjointment ot a racing representative to a full-time general manager's position a man who can boss the operation without polling the official family. There are a lew men of this type on the premises today.

If the No. 29 Novi Vespa had been withdrawn, it would have opened the way for Eddie Sachs and the Ray Brady Special to jct in the staiting lineup. It. rIso, would have removed veteran driver Paul Kusso out of the Novi saddle There's always that possibility that this could lie Paul's year to make a bundle It's generally agreed the Novi ns a rear-drive is a more definite threat as a winner than those when they were front drives. adpik 'glPiiiiiii in cen- which struck Ihe fence ter 4 7 4MIRKAN ASSOCIATION Pd.
