PLftVE A SOS-PA 80ru 0V4T COUGSE VAS (pQEATty Big Us Slill Come Up A fter Top GolS Round stock tar S00 here in February, It's a cint Prance and his outfit didn't get nth yesterday suite they were paying a flat guarantee of $32,000 in prize money. As long as they shell out that kind of prize money here Hie management will be able to get the drivers and cars to run for it but this is a deadly track and it has cost the lives of two "500" drivers already. Harlan Fenglcr, USAC chief steward for the races, may have saved tome lives by rutting the distance of the so-called "Formula 1. 1 race from 100 to 50 miles. He explained it's too windy and too fast.

"We've got to learn more about this track," he said, USAC is stheduled to run a 300-mile race here July 4 hut seems hardly any chance the event will he run. Management of the Speedway said last night they were deferring judgment until the drivers and car owners had a dunce to simmer down and talk it over. Reitcnliaiisrn is an influential member of the USAC board and its only driver-representative and his opinion is bound to be respected by the group. France probably won't be overly enthusiastic about running the Indianapolis cars here again, anyway, in view of the poor turnout for his races. It seems the.se folks down here in the ileep South simply like their racing stock car dtyle.

The entire front end of Amick's car was sheared off (luring his crash and (he roll bar also was torn off. Roheit M. Bowes II of Indianapolis, owner of Amick's car, said George had been having trouble with the high winds on the west turn for several laps before the crash occurred and the crew had been apprehensive about him. The winds varied from 15 to 23 miles an hour as the race started and increased slightly during it. Several drivers, including Bob Christie who Amick was trying to pass, said they thought George was showing signs of fatigue.

It was the second time in seven months a Bowes driver has been killed on the last lap of a 100-mile race. Jimmy Reece of Speedway, met death in a century grind at Trenton, N.J., last October while trying to move into first place on the final circuit. The car was a new flat engine job and Amick set the track record of 176.837 miles an hour in qualifying it here Monday. Amick's fastest lap yesterday was his 23th at 173.5. On the lap just before his crash he was timed at 16!) miles per hour.

William H. G. I ram and his associates have performed a remarkable feat in creating a huge speed plant out of what was a barren patch of swampland only a year before. But, the mile high, banked track simply isn't the proper place to run Speedway type cars. In auto racing there is no such thing as, absolute safety but the events of yesterday were enough to prove to this writer's satisfaction that this track is basically unsafe for the Indianapolis cars.

One of the most likeable and popular drivers of the United States Auto Club crew, little George Amick paid (he supreme price yesterday to prove what a lot of the drivers were saying before the rare. This is a place where your first mistake probably will be your last one. The construction of the .11 degree banked turns is the basic fault here, They may be fine for stock cars running 140 miles per hour but for Speedway cars running 170 they are deadly. The turns should be parabolic, graduated in a gently diminishing shape. But instead the banks are flat, giving the same effect you will get by bending a piece of ribbon and the apron is horizontal.

That gives almost the same jolt when you come down off the track after getting into a slide or a spin an inside wall would have. Drivers say one of two things can happen. You start slipping or glance back and hit the top wall. Amick's accident was not due directly to this feature, but several other mishaps which marred the practice in qualifying periods and two races yesterday were, In all probability. National Driving Champion Tony Bettenhausen of Tinley Park, certainly is not a man who is awed by high speeds since he holds the one lap record for the Monza, Italy track at 177.038 miles per hour.

But after just six laps of racing on this track, Tony had enough of it to last him for all time. "One mistake and you're done," Bettenhausen said. "They can have it. It isn't as safe as Monza because the turns aren't parabolic." Unknown to most of the spectators, Bctte a brushed the fence himself during the fifth lap at nearly the same spot both Amick and Rodger Ward had their accidents. He kept going for one lap until he decided he had better come in with the Racing Associates Special because his goggles were getting sprayed with water from the radiator.

I've hung up my helmet as far as this track is concerned," he promised his wife Valerie after the race was over and he kept his promise by sitting out the second race. In view of the small crowd (10.000 at the most generous estimate) it would seem fairly clear that Florida racing fans aren't exactly enchanted by the Indianapolis cars and drivers, since they drew some 40,000 here for the NASCAR DITCH WpiAKlA90LlS DESERVED 1U 1Tie LOMC -fiM6' oilier AWO INDIANA GOLF ACCOClATiOKUE UAO UOhOQEOS CP FRENOS eofiA ih OF GOLF Mays Hits As Giants Willie Mays hit three home runs and two-bagger as the powerpacked San Francisco Giants took their spring hitting show on the road yesterday. The Giants cut loose for 21 hits in a 17-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians at Salt Lake City, with Mays batting in six runs. A crowd of 10,406. largest paid attendance ever in Salt Lake City, saw the game.

Jackie Brandt and Rookie Roger McCardell also homered for the Giants who clubbed Starter Gary Bell and four other Indian pitchers. Johnny Antonelll went seven innings for the Giants and was touched for all the Indians runs, half of them on a homer by Rocky Colavito in the seventh. Meanwhile. In Florida, the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves warmed up for their pennant defenses with impressive batting displays In other exhibition games. WITH THE OPINING games less than a week away, the Yanks slammed three homers to beat Detroit 6-5 at St.

Petersburg, and Milwaukee banged out 15 hits, Including two home runs, in a 9-3 decision over Cincinnati at Bra-dentdn. In other afternoon games, Kansas City edged Philadelphia 6-5 at West Palm Beach, Pittsburgh shaded the Chicago White Sox 10-9 at Tampa. Los Angeles beat a team of Dodg er "All-Stars" 51 at Vero Beach, and Boston defeated the Chicago Cubs 8-7 at Dallas. Mickey Mantle, the American League homt run champion, hit his third of the spring Rookies Cletis Boyer and Dick Sanders, just optioned to Richmond, also homered to give Duke Maas a 6-3 lead when he retired after seven innings of pitching. Lou Ber-beret hit one for the Tigers.

The Braves really took batting practice against Don New-combe who suffered through the entire game for the Reds. Wes Covington homered for the second straight day. Frank Torre had three hits, one a homer. Hank Aaron also hit safely three times, and Eddie Mathews broke out of an 0-for-14 slump with two singles. Boston (AP) Boston turned to its bench strength for a pulsating 118-115 comeback National Basketball Associa tion playoff victory over Min neapolis yesterday with Ken tucky fireman Frank Ramsey and sharpshooter Sam Jones in key roles.

The Celtics, took a 1-0 lead in the best of seven championship series as they defeated the Lakers for the 13th consecutive time, Through the great efforts of rookie of the year Mgin Baylor who scored 34 points and 10-year veteran Vern Mikkelsen who added 23, the Lakers stormed hack from a 12-point halftune deficit to battle Boston to the wire. IT TOOK a pair of free throws by Ramsey and some fancy dribbling by Jones to eke out the decision despite the fact a late spurt carried the home team to a 115-103 bulge. Over the last few minutes the Lakers outscored the Coitu 12 3 with Baylor doing most of the damage. Ramsey drew a bark court foul from Mikkelsen with half a minute to play and scored both of them to make the count I1S1I3 and put the game virtually on ice for the favored Celtics. Jones' trigger dribbling ran out the clock after Baylor got the final two-pointer.

Ramsey paced the winners with 20 points. In the final analysis, Boston won from the foul line. The Celts connected on 21 of 32 chances while Minneapolis had of 27. Baylor missed seven tries at the line very unusual for this star of the six-game upset of defending world titlist St. Louis in the semi final playoff series.

The Lakers had a 00-47 edge in field goals. HEI.VSOHN finished second behind Ramsey among Boston scorers with 24 while Jim Los-cutoff had 14, Bill Sharman 13 and Jones and Cousy 12 each. Gene Conley had nine points but more Important for the 6-8 fugitive from baseball, he had 13 rebounds in the first half. Ramsey and Conley came off the bench before intermission to guide the Celts into their 12-point halftune bulge, Minneapolis had taken a quick 6-2 lead and Boston didn't take charge until Conley popped a free throw to open the second guartcr. The score then was 30-29.

After Cousy got a long set, Sam Jones got a jumper and Ramsey four points. The Celts ran a string of 10 points and while they outscored the Lakers 36-24, Ramsey scored 15 of them. t. in ii i din ft CM KV Slvl-t All n-(i 9 4 ft kl HA 7 6 1 J. 3 I 2 a 2 i A i.i i 1114 4 11' 'rjil 4 0 0 i i --a n.

There have been some shaky moments since this tournament started when I thought 1 might not even be around after the cut was made. I WAS A total of four over par going to the 13th hole Friday and my drive was in the woods there.

I got it back on the fairway and scratched out a bogey. And since then things have been going excel, lently. I wouldn't care to make any predictions about the outcome. Lack of brains or ability might beat me, but 1 sure won't lose for lack of trying. Practice Scheduled Coach Harry Hershbergfr will hold the first practice for the Fall Creek Athletics at 2 p.m.

today at the Washington Park diamond No. 1, located on 34th Street just off Keystone Ave. Former players and new candidates are asked to report today. By CARY MIDDLECOFF Augusta National Golf Club There never was a round of golf so good but that you could look back on it and come up with three or four "ifs." With my fiS of yesterday the big it' was at the third, hole. I had a simple 8-iron pitch for a second shot, but I hit a small fraction of an inch behind the ball and turned a possible birdie three into a bogey five.

ALSO, I had a relatively easy nine-iron pitch for my second shot on the par-four seventh. Here I hit a shade high on the ball and put it over the green, and came up with another bogey. But then there some longish putts that I made, too. Thirty footers for dueces at the fourth and 12th were the best of them. Several have asked me if I prefer to be a stroke or two back at the start of the last round rather than being in the lead.

The answer Is a loud no. A stroke is a stroke and I would much prefer to have It on my side. So would any other golfer. NO ONE. 3 Homers Lew Burdette worked seven innings for the Braves, giving up seven hits, including a homer by Fd Bailey.

THE ATHLETICS scored twice in the ninth, with Harry Chiti delivering a pinch hit double, to edge the Phils. Kent Hadley homered twice for the A's. Pittsburgh rapped three White Sox pitchers for 16 hits, but it took a two-run single in the ninth by Bob Skinner off Dick Rudolph to bring in the victory. The White Sox, who had a 7-1 lead after two in-nings, hit safely 14 times off three Pirate pitchers. The only homer was by Sox Rookie Norm Cash.

Pete Runnels and Vic Wertz drove in three runs apiece, but it took a ninth inning error by Cub Second Baseman Tony Taylor before the Red Sox won it. Walt Moryn hit a three-run homer for the Cubs, and Runnels and Vic Wertz connected for Boston. The Baltimore Orioles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 in a night game at Miami.
