The Offcnnausers fire too stout for their size. Offy special racing engines will power all of the other starters. The new qualification record holder sp'eaks with considerable authority, as he won the national sprint car championship last year using a modified stock engine most of the season. They were short races on short tracks, however. Engineer Don Cummins, who put the last commercial engine in the 500 field 10 years says.

Not because they've tied for first place again, but because they were lucky enough to be turned down cold when they offered Chuck Essegian to the Boston Red Sox earlier this season.

The red-hot Essegian, hitting a cool .383, has been with six major league clubs already. He drifted around so much because the word was that he not only couldn't field, but also couldn't un. No one ever said he couldn't hit, though. He gave a typical example last night in leading the Indians to a 2-1 victory over the Washington Senators. Gets 12th Homer Essegian, a dead ringer for television's Ben Casey, drilled his 12th home run in the eighth inning off loser Claude Osteen after having doubled and scored on John Romano's single in the sixth.

And just lo convince (hose who once wrote him off as a "butcher" in the outfield, Essegian helped Pedro Ramos to his first victory of the season by mak- irtg a fine grab of Bob Schmidt's sinking liner with two on anc two out in the second inning. "We made him suffer this spring." said Cleveland Manager Mel McGaha after the game, "We hit balls to him by the hour. But he was willing to work long and hard on defense. "He always felt he was good enough lo he a regular. I like guys who believe in Washington's only run came on Danny O'Connell's eight inning homer, the first run the Senators scored for Osteen in the 27 innings he has worked this season.

Osteen's record is 9-5. Tigers Edge Yankees The Detroit Tigers edged the New York Yankees, 5-4, the Baltimore Orioles breezed past the Boston Red Sox, 9-5, the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins, 5-4, and the Los Angeles Angels nipped the Kansas City Athletics, 5-4. In the National league. Ihe San Francisco Giants crushed the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-7, the Los Angeles Dodgers massacred the New York Mels, 17-8, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago Cubs, 2-1, the Milwaukee Braves outscored the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-8, and the Pittsburgh Pirates hurdled the Houston Colls, 4-3, in 13 innings.

Homer Disputed Chico Fernandez' homer, a blow bitterly disputed by the Yankees, was the margin for the Tigers' fourth straight victory. Dick McAuliffe also hit a three-run homer off loser Bill Stafford. Don Mossi won his fourth game although nicked for 11 hits. Detroit had only five. Jim Gentile drove in four runs for the Orioles with his 13th homer and a single against the Red Sox.

Chuck Estrada won his third game with help from Dick Hall. Bill Monbouquette was tagged with his fifth loss. A pair of triples by Al Smith were Ihe key blows for the White Sox as they handed the Twins Iheir third straight setback. Joel Horlen survived a threo-run rally by Minnesota in the fourth inning to post his fourth victory. Jack Kralick absorbed his third defeat.

Campbell, who missed the course record by one stroke with an opening round 63, sagged to a 68 on the second round for a 131 total, and Ragan rolled in with a second round 65 for another 131, 11 strokes under par. Behind them there was a bunched field with Bob Rosburg, who also had a first day 63, only one stroke behind at 132; two deadlocked at 133, 'Billy Casper and George Bayer, and another pair at 134, Bill Colins and Dave Hill. Four players were tied at 135, one more at 136, nine at 137, three at 138 and six at 139 to promise a free swinging challenge to the front-runners on the 71, golf course. BAN ON YCAZA CUT TO 10 DAYS BALTIMORE. May 26-(AP) Ten calendar days or 10 racing days.

No matter how you look at it Jockey Manuel Ycaza probably has lost a chance to break into the big money in Memorial day's Metropolitan Handicap at Aqueduct. The Maryland State Racing commission reduced Ycaza's suspension yesterday from 10 racing days to 10 calendar days for his ride aboard Ridan in last Saturday's Preakness. The reduction came after Jockey Johnny Rotz, who piloted Greek Money to a nose decision over Ridan, told the commission Ycaza "didn't bother my riding one little bit." Reduction of the suspension makes Ycaza eligible to ride in the rich Metropolitan. But Trainer Jack Price, acting shortly after the Pimlico stewards gave Ycaza 10 racing days last Saturday, already had signed Rotz to replace Ycaza on Carry Back, the probable second choice behind Kelso. Price said he was committed to Rotz and wouldn't change the riding plans for the 1961 three-year-old champion.

"At the time we made the agreement with Rotz we assumed Ycaza's suspension would not make him available," said Price. 'We stand on our agreement with Rotz." Ycaza drew the 10 racing days suspension when his claim of foul against Rotz backfired. After viewing the official films, the stewards decided it was Ycaza and not Rotz that did the fouling. Manuel was fined $200 for making a "frivolous" claim of The commission let that stand. The track stewards claimed Ycaza bothered Rotz with his elbow in the torrid, stretch duel.

But Rotz told the commission his elbow never was in my chest. I didn't feel any contact. He didn't bother my riding one little bit." Dave RBEan Joe Campbell Bob Rosbura Billy Casper Gpome Bayer nil!
