I 1 ON 2 SPORTS SECTI MAY 11, Ifll Ife Came Back To Win And Set A Record! 19 Cars Qualify i Jones Cracks 6500' Barrier At 150 Mph By JIMMY BROWN Courir-Jeurntl ittff Writtr Indianapolis, May 12. The Indianapolis Speedway's ever-increasing spiral of speed reached a milestone Saturday when Parnelli Jones became the first driver to crack the magic 150-mile-per-hour barrier. Jones, a 28-year-old Torrance, sensation, broke both the one- and four-lap track records at over 150 mph as qualifications opened for the Memorial Day 500-mile race. Driving the Agajanian Special, Jones flashed to a top speed of 150.729 mph on his first lap around the track and then completed his four-lap spin at a 150.370 average. The phenomenal performance, predicted by many and witnessed by a crowd estimated by police at 150,000, gave Jones the pole position for the May 30 classic.

Jones, whose full names of Rufus Parnell was shortened to Parnelli years ago by friends, broke records set only 15 minutes earlier by Lcn Sutton of Portland, Ore. Sutton, the second qualifier out on a warm and hazy day that was perfect for racing, had smashed the one- and four-lap marks set in 1960 by Jim Hurtubise. Sutton turned in a single lap of 149.900 mph in the No. 7 Leader Card Special and finished his 10-mile run with an average of 149.328 mph. Hurtubise, whose qualification attempt was delayed when he hit the wall in practice Friday, had times of 149.601 and 149.056, respectively, on his record 1960 trip.

After Jones turned in his electrifying run there were 30 more qualifying attempts before the 6 p.m. deadline. But "not one of the 19 who got into the 33-car field came close to the California Comet. Rodger Ward, the 1959 Speedway winner, was second with a speed of 149.371 in a Leader Card Special and Bobby Marsh-man was third with a timing of 149.349 in the Bryant Special.

The 5-year-old son of Hasty Road Juliets Nurse, owned by Louisvillian J. Graham Brown, had won Kceneland's Ben Ali Handicap at seven furlongs in his last previous start. Freeman Keyes, owner of Reverie Knoll Farm, came from Chicago to witness the victory and accepted the winner's trophy from Louis J.

Herrmann, vice-president of Churchill Downs. The victory was worth $7,231.25, bringing Rev-Up's earnings to $14,181 this year. Rev-Up is trained by L. G. Jofl'rion.

Hartack returned yesterday after two days in Florida and scored in his only other to the 122-pound impost on Run For Nurse. Loyal Son carried 114. Second choice in the betting, Rev-Up returned $11.20, $6.40 and $3 across the board. Loyal Son, the longest price in the (l)ouiit chart on Page 2.) six-horse field at 24-1, paid $14.60 to place and $4 to show. Run For Nurse was $2.20 to show.

Rev-Up was timed in 1:43, three-fifths of a second slower than the track record for the distance. A crowd of 21,400, third largest of the 19-day meeting and one of the best Saturday turnouts at the Downs in recent years wasn't to blame. They announced that no action would be taken against him because the films showed clearly that the jockey did his best to keep his horse straight. Had the stewards found Hartack at fault, and set him down, the suspension would have deprived him of riding Decidedly, the Kentucky Derby winner, in the Preak-ness at Pimlico next Saturday. 2d For Rev-Up The victory was the second in as many efforts at the meeting for Rev-Up, a 4-year-old gelded son of Royal Gem II Little F.

Run For Nurse, ridden by Bill Hartack, was disqualified and placed third after a foul claim. The claim was lodged by Forrest Kaelin, who brought Loyal Son home third in the mile and one-sixteenth feature, six lengths back of the top pair. The stewards viewed the film patrol pictures and found that Run For Nurse interfered with Loyal Son on the turn for home. They ruled, however, that Hartack for Vasquez.

Mr.r yp4 "tlrP WATAUGA "Ij l0YAl SUN t'J env 1 By MERLE IIERYFORD Of Tht Dlli Morning Ntwt Dallas. Texas, May 12. Something had to give- -and it did. Louisville and Dallas-Fort Worth each had lost five straight games when they tangled here Saturday night in the opener of a five-game baseball series.

The Colonels won, 3-1, but Jones' other three lap times were :59.94, :59.89 and :59.87. His total elapsed time of 3 minutes, 59.41 seconds was the first under four minutes for the four-lap, 10-mile qualification distance. Jones said failure to get the green flag when he signaled for it confused him but he bore down all the way nevertheless. Probably the happiest man at the Speedway even more so than Jones was J. C.

Agajanian, the millionaire San Pedro, hog rancher and race promoter who owns the car Jones drove. 12th Last Year The car, incidentally, is the same one Jones drove last year, when he finished 12th and was named "Co-Rookie of The Year." Last year's winner, J. Foyt, gained the 1962 field with the fifth fastest qualifying time, Two rookies, Jim McElreath and Dan Gur-ney, also made the starting lineup. Eddie Sachs, last year's pole sitter, made a qualifying attempt but was called in when, he couldn't get out of the 146-mph bracket in his Dean Special. Sachs was involved in one of two minor accidents during the day.

In a morning practice spin, his left front wheel came off in the northwest turn and he skidded halfway down the main stretch on three wheels. Norm Hall spun the other Dean Special in the southwest turn and took a 525-foot slide into a wall. He was unhurt, but the car was badly damaged. Trials will be held agaia Sunday, starting at 12 noon, E.S.T. They will be continued next Saturday and Sunday.

no batting averages were fattened on either side, although pitcher Bob Hartman might disagree. It was Hartman's bloop single which drove in two runs to cap a three-run Colonel uprising in the second inning. Those were the winning and insurance runs. Hartman ran his record to 3-2 at the expense of Al Neiger Ruby's Report Will Return (0-2), who was making his first start. There were only 13 hits in the game, seven of them by the Colonels.

The only extra base hit was Alan Grandcolas' pinch-double for the Rangers in the ninth. There were nine strikeouts on each side, Hartman getting all of them for the Colonels although he bowed out in favor of Federieo Olivo with two out and two in scoring position in the ninth. Olivo got Ranger Manager Dick Littlefield, a pinch-hitter, to foul out to catcher Phil Roof to end the game. mm Atioclittd Prtst Wirtphoto FIRST 150-MPH DRIVER Parnelli Jones (arrow) stands beside his sleek racer after becoming the first Indianapolis Speedway driver to exceed 150 miles an hour in an officially-timed run.
