VP) A new Kitty League leader held sway today. The Owensboro Oilers, the oi.ly team to sweep their Memorial Day assignment, made Bowling Green's reign a one-day affair. The Oilers beat Hopkinsville in the afternoon 5-1 and then went 14 innings to win the nightcap, 4 to 3. The defeat shoved Hopkinsville into fifth place, Paducah slipping just ahead of the Hoppers by breaking even with Mayfield. Mor-joseph's homer in the ninth offset circuit blows by Randell and Kerr to give them Browns the afternoon game at Paducah 6-5, but at May.

HA AND BO ST PLACE SHDRT 15 FATALLY HURT IN THREEGAR WRECK 145,000 Spectators See 500-Mile Automobile Classic; Jimmy Snyder Second and Cliff Bergere Third; Accident Slows Time To 4 Hours and 20 Minutes.

By CHARLES DUNKLEY Indianapolis, May 31. VP) Leaving death, wreckage and blasted hopes behind in his perilous ride, Wilbur Shaw, veteran Indianapolis driver, won the 500-mile automobile race over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway here in a dramatic finish. Floyd Roberts, 39-year-old driver from Van Nuys, lost his life as Shaw, winner of the 1937 race, rode to triumph. A few minutes before the finish, Roberts, critically injured in a smash-up of three cars, died of brain concussion in a hospital. Two other drivers, Chet Miller of Detroit and Bob Swanson of Los Angeles, were injured, but not seriously.

Two women spectators also were hurt. Thrills Crowd of 145,000 Shaw, thrilling a crowd of won through the misfortune of flying Louis Meyer of Huntington Park, only three-time winner of the classic. Within the last fifty miles of victory, Meyer went into two dangerous spins. He lost the lead because of the first one when he blew a front tire. He was desperately attempting to regain it when he spun around the second time.

In disgust, he pushed the car off the track and quit with only seven more miles to go. The victorious Shaw covered the 500 miles, 200 times around the 2 1-2 mile brick and asphalt track, in 4:20:47.41 to average 115.035 miles an hour. This was below the record-breaking average of 117.2 miles an hour made by Roberts in triumphing a year ago, because the race was slowed down for thirty-one 1-2 minutes with the drivers going at a comparatively snail's pace while the WTeckage of three cars was cleared from the track. Shaw finished a minute and fifty-eight precious seconds ahead of Jimmy Snyder, one-time Chicago milkman, who covered the distance in 4:22:35.60 to average 114.24 miles en hour. Cliff Bergere of Hollywood, was third and Ted Horn of Los Angeles, fourth.

Babe Stapp of Los Angeles was fifth, George Barringer of Houston, sixth and Joel Thorne of New Rochelle, N. heir to railroad millions, driving one of four cars entered by him, was seventh. Mauri Rose, Columbus, veteran, driving a car entered by the victorious Shaw, was eighth, with Frank Wearne of Pasadena, ninth and Billy Devore of St. John, tenth. 12 Cars Running At Finish Twelve of the original starting field of thirty-three were running at the finish.

Eighteen were stranded because of mechanical trouble and three were wrecked. Shaw's margin of victory over Snyder was about 2 1-2 miles. The death of the popular Roberts marred the day. Tearing around the southeast turn, he plowed into a wobbling car, driven by Swanson, who just had relieved Ralph Hepburn of Los Angeles as Hepburn stopped for gasoline and oil. Roberts' oar caromed off Swanson's machine and plowed through the outside board fence, coming to a stop in an adjoining golf course.

The impact with the boards ripped and tore the flesh off Roberts' body. He was picked up unconscious and rushed to a hospital, where he died within an hour. Swanson, who suffered burns about the head and shoulders after his car caught fire, was reported in a serious condition today, but with physicians hopeful of his recovery. Chet Miller's car struck the WTeckage and plunged through an inner guard rail, but he was not injured seriously. A flying piece of guardrail struck Miss Martha Ponelite of Collins-ville, a spectator, injuring her about the head and shoulders, and Mrs.

Bruce MUliken of Thorntown, suffered a broken leg when she was struck by debris from the wreck. By his victory Shaw wTon $20,000 as first prize plus $1,400 in lap prizes. Snyder got $10,000 plus in lap prizes for finishing sec-end. Meyer, although out of the prize money entirely, won $2,500 in lap prizes. Shaw, driving an Italian car, powered by an eight-cylinder engine, was never worse than sixth at any time.

He made only three stops and drove without any relief. His first stop came after 172 miles, the second at 345 miles and the third at 478 miles. He was in the pits each time less than a minute and a half to change tires and get gasoline and oil. With the acquisition of new territory Germany is expected to become self-sufficient in radium. Better results in grinding dates, figs or raisins through a food chopper are obtained by adding a few drops of lemon juice.

UP TRAINING FDR Winner Will Get Crack At Heavyweight Championship; Promoter Jacobs Expects $100,000 Gate. By SID FEDER New York, May 31. (JP) Max Baer went through his clowning exercise routine, Lou Nova took a belt or two at the light and heavy bags, and with that the two wound up training Tuesday for their fight in Yankee Stadium Thursday night. From now until they turn up at the state athletic commission offices for the weigh-in Thursday noon they'll rest. Then they'll rest some more until the bell sends them out about 9 p.

m. (E. S. for 15 rounds or less, the winner to get a crack at the heavyweight championship, probably in September. Promoter Mike Jacobs' office staff was agreeably surprised today when cash customers turned up at the ticket windows.

Usually on a holiday before a fight, there's as much activity at the box office as in the stratosphere, so Tuesday's action gave Jacobs some hope that the gate would go over the $100,000 mark. Baer, at 30, is a large question mark. The former champion has trained seriously for a fight for the first time in his career, hasn't even had a cigarette during the six weeks of his preparatory routine, apparently is determined in his comeback campaign to regain the heavyweight heights, and has developed a "cute" left hand to go along with his haymaker right. Nova, Baer's Junior and making up in serious determination and confidence what he lacks in experience, is the faster of the two, has a troublesome left hand for any opponent, and Is strong as a cement block. He not only feels he can take Maxie, but wants to do it quickly so that he can get at Joe Louis, for he is equally as confident he can turn the trick against the Brown Bomber which is a good trick even if it doesn't work.

The betting was close to even money, with some gamblers willing to lean a point toward Baer the early "future book" favorite of a couple weeks ago and some equally ready to pin the short end of the odds on Nova. Even the "experts" were befuddled. In a poll of fifty boxing writers, managers and fighters taken today. Nova ruled a slight favorite at 26 to 24. Each of the Californians reiterated his belief in himself today, Max announcing loudly he was going to do it "for Max, Jr." and Lou insisting he'd win "for my little girl." Baer will have a slight weight advantage for the bout, scaling about 209 to the ex-collegian's 203.

New York, May 30. VP) It may not be the best fight of the season when Max Baer and Lou Nova come together for 15 rounds or less in the Yankee Stadium Thursday night, and it probably won't draw the biggest crowd. But it certainly is the hardest fight to figure out in advance. The experts haven't been able at all. The concensus is that Baer can win but will he? And there's no answer to that question.

If Maxie fights as he did several years ago when he stopped Max Schmeling, for example it hardly seems possible the young and comparatively inexperienced Nova can beat him. If he fights as he did against Joe Louis or Jimmy Brad-dock almost any good pugilist should be able to do it. And Nova, it seems clear, is good. New York, May 30. Television, destined to be a giant before it quits growing, makes its big-time sports debut Thursday night when the image of the 15-round heavyweight fight between Max Baer and Lou Nova at Yankee Stadium will be thrown on about 130 pint-size screens in the metropolitan area.

There are this many owners, at any rate, of private sets capable of receiving the sight and sound which will be sent out from the ringside by the National Broadcasting company, with the full permission of promoter Mike Jacobs. For the first and, very probably, the last time, these fortunate few will be able to draw up the easy chairs, loosen their after-dinner belts and enjoy the thrills of a ringside seat. For Promoter Mike isn't going to make a practice of giving away his merchandise. No, indeedy. Mike is deeply Impressed by something he learned the other day about television: Namely, that the stuff is not necessarily scattered to the breezes, to be picked up by any deadhead who owns a receiving set, NO THURSDAY TILT Night Game Decided In 14th Inning On Johnny Du-dra's Timely Single Past Second To Score Wise With Winning Run.

BY L. D. "BIRDIE" GASSER Sports Editor Messenger-Inquirer Owensboro won both ends of a double bill with the Hopkinsville Hoppers on Memorial Day, to take over the Kitty League lead, but It took fourteen Innings and three hours and a half of play befure the second tilt was decided at Miller Field last night by a count of 4 to 3.

Afternoon Game In one of the fastest games on record in the Kitty league this season the Owensboro Oilers beat the Hopkinsville Hoppers, 8 to 1 at Miller Field, yesterday afternoon. The contest was played in one hour and forty-eight minutes. Howard Schumacher cheated himself out of shutout in the third inning, when after one was out and Alto had doubled he threw wildly to second in an attempt to get the runner off the base allow ing Alto to go to third.

"Gimme water and air first," said Shaw, slightly deafened by the roar of his motor. "Then I'll talk and pose." They poured a tin pitcher of lemonade on him at first by mistake, and it made nis eyes smart. They the doused him with ice water until he was soaking wet. One of the first to pat him on back was Col. Roscue Turner, the speed flier.

You are wonderful, Wilbur," Turner said, "But automobile racing actually scares me. I'll take mine in the air." After the interviews and picture-taking were over, Shaw's wife, Boots, a pretty brunette, and his mother, Mrs. Charles E. Morgan, came into the enclosure. Everybody backed away and gave them a chance for an unhampered get-together.

After that race, Mrs. Roberts told interviewers: "Floyd has always wanted to retire to a farm and I have always agreed with him.

He's always wanted to do it as soon as he had enough money. "I am sort of hoping he will do it now since he's reached his goal, but of course, that's up to him."

Louisville had tallied on run and Fabian Gaffke came dashing across the plate with what would have been the tying marker when Dunn called Pewee Reese out at first to retire the side, instantly provoking a customer's rebellion. The Hoosiers had picked up one run in the first when Ted Olson, Louisville hurler, made a wild pitch, and added the winning run in the last when Pitcher John Nig-geling's sacrifice fly scored Jess Newman.

Newman was the star of the first game, driving in all six of Indianapolis' runs with two homers one in the fourth with Bob Lat- shaw and Milton Galatzer aboarfin and a double in his four trips to the plate.

(JP) Dapper Wilbur Shaw, 37-year-old Indianapolis race driver who started out in the speed business by piloting a team of goats when he was a youngster, gave "every bit of the credit" for his second 500-mile victory here Tuesday afternoon to his friend, Louis Meyer, of Huntington Park, Calif. "If Lou hadn't thrown a tire and lost a lap or two," Shaw insisted, "I wouldn't have stood a chance of winning."
