Staley ins IQQ-Miie New Car Race at Fair 6S Petty lak Second Place Before 5, Reed in Lead When Forced Out By Tire Trouble By ED REDDY Gwyn Staley, of th Wjlkesboro, N. sped home first in -the 100-mile race for new stock cars at the State Fairgrounds yesterday, finishing about three-quarters of a mile ahead of Lee Petty of Randleman. N. C. A crowd of close to 5,000, surprisingly, large for the gray, cloudy day which was flecked with, sunshine only occasionally, occupied grandstand seats many other spectators lined the rails.

Staley. a seasoned veteran who has long been one of the most capable competitors on the NASCAR circuit, averaged 78.63 miles an. hour for the long route. Alter his strongest rival, Jim Reed, of Peekskill, who led briefly, was knocked out of contention, Staley nursed his advantage in the late stages and merely protected a long lead by driving at rather moderate speed. Heed, a former Syracuse University student, thrilled the crowd as he battled for the lead with Staley for nearly 70 -miles.

Walker Finishes Third Staley drove a Chevrolet and Reed was pursuiing in a Ford. Reed made several daring bids to get the edge before he finally went ahead in the 63d lap and he consolidated the margin as Staley made a very brief stop to check his fuel. Roaring along more than a mile ahead of his nearest rivals on the 72nd lap, Reed blew a tire as he came around the northwest turn near the clubhouse and his car bounced against the outer wall. He got it under control to move it near the pits but was through for the day. Stanley regained the lead and Petty who had been a strong contender all the way took over second place.

Other strong contenders during the race had been Fireball Roberts, of Daytona Beach, Roy Campbell of Buffalo; Dean Layfield of Wellsville; of Atlanta, and Bill Walker! of Springfield, Mass. i About half of the original field! of 24 finished the event.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5 still thinking about a pennant, cut the first-place Milwaukee Braves' lead to 6Vi games tonight with a 10-1 triumph. Sad Sam Jones hurled a thrifty four-hitter as Lew Burdette disappointed once again for the Braves. The victory tonight produced a sweep of the two-game series between the Braves and the second- place Cardinals.

The Brayes hadn't lost two straight since the Cardinals swept an Aug. 18 doubleheader from them to cut their lead at that time 1 to games. The Braves have triumphed 10 times in 15 games since then. Jones picked- up his llth victory pounded from the mound in the fifth inning as the Cardinals cashed three runs. It was the fourth time in a row Burdette failed to finish what he started.

Irv Noren opened the fifth with a single and stopped at second as Del Ennis singled. Burdette wild pitched both runners up a base and Hobie Landrith singled them home. The one-base ban-age against Burdette continued as Eddie Kasko and Don Blasingame produced hits, Blasingame's scoring Jones who reached base on a fielder's choice. Taylor Phillips relieved and stopped it. Al Dark's throwing error, Frank the score, 3-1.

Pizarro was the third Braves' pitcher at the bottom of the sixth and St. Louis wasted no time scoring. With one out, Noren cracked his third straight single and jogged home as Ennis unfurled his 19th home run into the left center field bleachers for a 5-1 margin. The winners tacked on five more in the eighth against Dave Jolly. The big blow was Dark's pop fly that fell in front of Wes Covington Wolfson Bids Five Mil lion For Dodaers NEW YORK, 5 (ft-Louis E.

For seven i i tonight, Erskine's shadow was as large as the Connie Mack'Stadium diamond as in the years when he was the bellwether of the Dodger pitching staff. Richie Ashburn, however, was the spoiler. Ashburn lined a double i off the right field wall to lead off the fourth, the first hit off the up no home runs before he retired for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning uprising. Dick Farrell retired the Dodgers in order in the ninth. Walker's two-run double in the second inning after Furillo and Charlie Neal had singled provided enough for the Dodgers to win.

The Brooklyn ball club is interested in coming here and city and county officials are interested in bringing them.
