Manager Walker Cooper was more than slightly perturbed over the Tribe's performance here last night, and also with the umpiring of George Carney, who seemed to be missing many pitches.

Cooper is particularly concerned over Harmon Kille-brew, who not only hat looked bad in going httless on 11 trips, but who also has been doing everything wrong in the field. Killebrew's wide throw to the plate, after fielding an easy one-hopper for an easy out at home, was responsible for Charleston scoring two runs in the second. It was a suicide play on the part of Manager Norman to send the runner home, but he got away with the gamble. Then, with two out in the third and two strikes on Jim Delsing, Umpire Carney ruled that a Cloyd Boyer pitch hit the former Tribesman on the knee. It did, but only after the ball hit the bat first.

The Senators scored four runs after that break, two on Bill Taylor's homer and two more on an assortment of three hits.

Austin 4 Corpus Christ! at Ft. Worth, postponed. MIDWEST lEAGUI successful team effort recorded in the history of the 500-Mile Race was the triple victory of the Blue Crown Specials built by Lou Moore. The front-drive Blue Crowns chalked up three firsts, three seconds and a third. It hardly needs repeating that Mauri Rose and Bill Holland finished one-two in 1947 and 1948, and that Holland won in 1949 with George Connor third, all in the Moore cars.

At the 450-mile mark in 1949, Holland, Hose and Connor were running in that order, with Johnny Parsons fourth. Parsons overtook Connor, but it seemed al- most sure bet for another Holland-hose one-two finish. Three lapt from the checker, Rose's car slowed, then stopped. A broken magneto ttrap, the magneto vibrating loose, was the cause. In a three-year period, all seven Blue Crowns ran in the money for all but 15 out of a possible 3,500 miles of racing, a fabulous record.

Moore entered four cars in' the 1950 race, with Holland finishing second, Lee Wallard sixth and George Connor eighth. It was certainly nothing to be ashamed of, but it was anti-climactic. The Lou Moore mechanical operation was on the perfectionist plane, with each car completely rebuilt each year, especially chassis-wise. The wear on the suspension tystem in a 500-Mile Race, Moore once said, is equal to miles of ordinary driving. While the engines were completely overhauled each year, Moore proudly pointed out that it was never necessary to rebore one of them until after the three straight years of victory.

Other car owners were using alcohol and methanol fuel "blends, but Moore stuck with straight high-test aviation gas- Children Under 12 FREI FL 6-8386 14 70 10 8 0 2 6.43 11 16 5 3 2 06 55 13 19 9 4 1 1 6 92 15 13 23 18 1 2 7 20 18 26 6 4 0 4 7.50 8 8 2 3 03 10 13 A.A.
