By BOB COLLINS Speedway concessionaires are stocking a hot' new item for the Doug Ford fans roller skates. Ford plays like a man witn a posse on nis trail. He's the greatest thing that ever happened to guys who promised their wives they be home for supper. With his gallery and playing partners strung, breathlessly, behind on Speedway's acres, Ole Swifty made a solid pass at Jerry Barber's lead yesterday. His r.e e-under-par 68 caught second place Doug Sanders at 202.

But little Jerry still was too much golfer for the course and the guys behind him. Barber's 67 kept him three strokes in front. FORD, WITH honors, was hitting so fast off the tee on the sixth and seventh holes, that one spectator thought his partners, Sanders and Art Wall, were playing a twosome. For a while it looked like Ford, Sanders and Wall might be the hot group. Sanders, the man with the duffers' delight swing, birdied two of the first four holes.

Ford and Wall both birdied five and six. Then all three got to scrambling and batting it here and there. It made for an interesting round, but sooner or later, all three were a cinch to get up to their ears in trouble. Sanders missed the par three fifth green, then needed two putts to get down. He parred the rest of the way for 35.

Wall found trouble on eight and nine for an even par 33. VHEN IS AN INDIAN NOT Lamb will oppear as "Joe" in the musical comedy "Damn Yankees" being itaged by Footlite Musicals and opening at the Zaring June 3. Joe is a rejuvenated young baseball star for the Washington Senators and Sara Coats plays the role of Lola, devil's temptress who bargains for Joe's soul. There is one hitch, if you haven't guessed. Footlite's plans for borrowing uni-forms from the Washington Senators went awry and they are using Indianapolis Indians uniforms.

HERE DOUG'S drive landed in the sand and he needed three shots to get down. But again he bounced back with a birdie, this time with a fine approach and a four-foot putt on the par four 15th. Ford parred 16 and paced nervously on 17, which he parred, and 18 while waiting for a threesome ahead to clear. He got a big break on the par-five 18th when his second shot hit a tree and bounded into the fairway in front of the green. From there the man the pros call "The Race Horse" banged it up close to the pin and putted it in for a birdie four and a 68.

Sanders also birdied 18 for a 69. Wall had a five and finished with 72, one over par. Ford's followers gave a big cheer, then limped home. When Ford's threesome finished, Barber, who started 10 minutes behind, was nearly three holes behind and exactly three strokes ahead. 1HE NEW IliO JOHNSON SEA-HORSI FRED KOKEMIllEK, toits 1 Motti Cl.

11. he spanked a wedge to within four feet of the pin and chipped off bare ground for a final four-foot birdie on the ISth. BARBER'S BALL picked up a big chunk of mud when his drive hit in the 18th fairway. And he said his second -shot "took off" to the right and stopped only when it some kind soul" in the gallery. Jerry said chipping off the bare ground was no problem "I've played those kind of shots before." Barber had trouble at the outset, missing each of the I first two greens, but he putted only once on each and that established his pattern for the day.

U.5.A.C. MIDGET RACES St. Louis (AP) Willie Mays drove in five runs with two homers and Bill O'Dell contributed shutout pitching yesterday as the league-leading San Francisco Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 8-0. Knocking out 19 year-old Ray Sadecki, St.

Louis southpaw making his second major league start, the Giants pounded out 15 hits which included Willie Kirkland's eighth homer as well as May's fifth and sixth. O'Dell, gaining his second National League victory in six decisions, did not walk a batter, fanned five and permitted only one runner to pass second base, Alex Grammas was thrown out by right fielder Kirkland as he tried to score from second in the eighth inning on Bill White's second hit. OBTAINED from Pittsburgh's Columbus club for Vinegar Bend Mizell, second baseman Manuel Javier impressed with his speed in his first big league game. With two hits, one a safe bunt, Javier ranged back quickly for pop flies and made a good stop to his left as he handled nine chances. Every Giant player in the starting lineup had at least two hits during the slugfast except Kirkland, whose only hit was a homer and first baseman Willie McCovey who went hitless in five trips.

The Giants hit safely in every inning. San Froncisee i SI.

Sunday Night MAY 29 KOKOMO the par 4, 32S-yard 12th hole. After going three under par with a birdie on 11, Jerry blasted his drive into a sand trap at the right of the fairway. His "out" wasn't good the ball bounced into the grassy section of another trap short and to the left of the green. WHAT HAPPENED next? Why, he just wedged the ball up close and dropped the putt for the par.

Jack Burke of Kiame-sha Lake, N.Y., and Johnny Pott of Shreveport, were Barber's playing partners yesterday. Burke, after parnng the fvst nine holes, had a pair of birdies and two bogeys on the backside for an even par 71 and a 205 total for 54 holes. POTT, with a 66 and 68 to his credit before yesterday, slipped to a 73 and a 207 total. With a little of what Barber calls his "luck" both would have had much less daylight between them and the little slammer. Schedule IMtt-Georae Bayer.

Denotes amateur. California Girl Winner In Paris Paris (AP) Darlene Hard, America's second-ranked tennis player from Montebello, scored her greatest victory yesterday when she chopped down Mexico's Yola Ramirez, 6-3, 6-4, in the women's finals of the French championship. The French championship is regarded as the equivalent of the world clay courts title. The 24-year-old California girl, whose nearest approach to a major title had been when she lost to Brazil's Maria Bueno in the finals at Wimbledon last year, dominated the match from start to finish before 10,000. Nicola Pietrangeli of Italy won the Men's singles title for the second straight year, turn ing back Luis Ayala of Chile, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

Several other birdie putts narrowly missed going in for the 210-pounder from Apple Valley, Cal. Casper, who had taken a painful 75 on Friday after shooting an opening 69, is deadlocked at 206 with Gary Player of South Africa, Bob Goalby of Crystal River. and Ken Venturi of Palo Alto, Cal. One shot ahead of them at 205 are Gene Littler of San Diego. and Jacke Burke Jr.

of Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. IT WAS the first time in nearly two years that Palmer had been knocked out of a tournament before the final round. His trouble was that he couldn't get down those birdie putts. Barber had four birdies and 14 pars on his card. The latter came on putts ranging from 3 to 40 feet.

Sixty-one pros survived the cutoff (low 60 and ties) and the five amateurs will be allowed to play again today. Casper played in the morning, before the bulk of the crowd had arrived. It was the best competive round he ever has had. "I was never in trouble out there," he said. AFTER PARRING the first six holes, he suddenly caught fire with the 20-foot birdie putt on the 434-yard seventh hole and there was no stopping him from then on.

Wampler, former Speedway and Purdue player, shot his second straight 75 after a fine, openinq-day 67. That gave him a 217 total, so he missed the cutoff by four shots. Another ex-Hoosier fared better. Joe Campbell of Knoxvilie, the ex-Purdue basketball and golf star, carded his second straight par round yesterday after opening with a 69, so he has a 211 total, a dozen strokes off the pace. Palmer had been in the money for 23 consecutive tournaments dating back to last August.

VOLVO DEALER NOW; FAMILY-CAR CONVENIENCE SPORTS-CAR PERFORMANCE i 1 ST By AL ROCHE Well, about all 1 can say is, here's that kid again. In case you haven't been reading about him his name is Ronnie Atwell, he is our City Amateur golf champion, and by his own admission he lives on the Speedway course when he's at play, that is. Competing under tremendous pressure, Ronnie carded a two-over-par 73 yesterday in the third round "of the "500" Festival Open tournament on his home links to total 211 and keep his eight-stroke lead in the amateur field as well as to set the pace for all Indiana contestants by a two-shot margin, and that goes for the professionals. His previous rounds were 68 and 70. THE PRESSURE on Atwell was extremely heavy yesterday because he was paired with a couple of pros, George Bayer of Gleneagles, the longest hitter in the game, and Mason Rudolph, Clarksville (Tenn.) stylist.

And, for a while, it looked like Atwell was in for some very hard times, but, as I said yesterday, the youngster is a gutty one. So, he pulled himself together in the late stages and now is in a good position to achieve a goal most any amateur sports figure would covet with the last go-around coming up today. I hoofed It around with Ronnie yesterday and got the story I wanted. I almost could have written It ahead of time because Ronnie got away to a wobbly start, which I anticipated, and he closed with a bang. My favorite in this tournament and sports writers do have them couldn't find the greens on the early holes and he even hooked a tee shot out of bounds before making the turn in 39 wbich is four over par.

ATWELL STILL was four over after 13 holes, then I gave him a nudge. "These last holes belong to me," he said. On 14 he hit a fine tee shot and dropped a 15-foot putt for a birdie deuce. On 16 he located the green with a great shot that carried his ball to within three feet of the cup and he rolled it in for another birdie deuce. A couple of pars followed and he wound up with a two-under 34 for his 73.

Many young guys would have folded, after, seeing Bayer split the air with those tremendous tee shots, but the Speedway star stayed in there and I don't think he'll get into such a hole at the start of today's last whirl around the big lot where the race cars will be whirling tomorrow. TED KATL'LA, of Greencastle tacked a 72 onto his 36-hole total of 147 for 219 and the runnerup spot in the amateur division.
