THE RACINE JOURNAL-TIMES SECTION THREE MARCH 27, 1960 Pirates Beat Braves 1 toO in Last of 9th It 1 1 1 1 Porsche Wins Sebring Race, 2 Die in Crash SEBRING, Gendebien and Hans Hermann, a crack Belgian-German driving team, pushed a silver gray little Porsche to a surprise victory Saturday night i Sebring's 12-hour sports car endurance race. The event was marred by two deaths. Gendebien was at the wheel when the German-made speedster snarled in for the checkered victory flag at 9 p.m. (CST). It was the second straight Sebring triumph for the Belgian ace.

He won last year with Phil Hill of Santa Monica, in a Ferrari. Tragedy struck in this tenth running of the exacting race just 23 minutes after the start when a green Lotus racer plunged off a hairpin turn, killing its driver and a newspaper photographer. Brake Failure Jimmy Hughes of Napa, apparently suffered brake failure as he rocketed toward the tarn. He veered into the escape route and crashed into George Thompson, Tampa Tribune photographer who was shooting pictures of the hurtling car. The racer flipped end over end, throwing Hughes to his death.

Two other drivers, Fred Spross of Poughkeepsie, N. and John Fitch of Lime Rock, came out miraculously unhurt after spectacular flips. Spross' car rolled, three times and stopped upside down with its driver in the cockpit. It was a 1-2 victory for the rugged Porsche. Bob Holbert of Warrington, and Roy Schechter of Miami, came in for second place about 20 miles behind the winning car.

Mechanical Trouble Chuck Daigh of Long Beach, and Ritchie Ginther of Santa Monica, drove a Ferrari in second place for seven hours, then dropped, out with mechanical troubles. Another big threat in the early hours, a Maserati driven by Walt Hansgen, the American sports car champion from Westfield, N. and Ed Crawford of Chicago, dropped out of contention when Crawford spun off a hairpin turn and was bogged down for an hour in sand. Jack Nethercutt and Pete Lovely of Los Angeles, took third place in a Ferrari. Ironically, the winning; Porsch, independently owned by Joakim Bonnier of Sweden, earned eight points for the Porsche Factory toward the world manufacturing championship after the factory team had boycotted the Sebring race because of a rhubarb over gasoline brands.

The Italian Ferrari Factory team with its world famous drivers also stayed away from the race. Then Came Ferraris After the first two Porsches came seven Ferraris in a row, then a Porsche and another Ferrari, Ed Hugus of Pittsburgh and Augie Pabst were fourth across the finish. The fifth place car was driven-by George Reed of Chicago and Al Connell of Fort Worth. Texas. Fritz D'Orey, champion of Brazil, and Bill Sturgis of Gardnerville, took sixth.

Bill Kimberly of New Milford, and George Arents of Coconut Grove, took seventh. Barone Fabrizio Serena and Giorgia Scarlatti, of Italy, drove a Ferrari to eighth place. The ninth place Porsche was driven by Joe Sheppard of Tampa, and Dick Dungan of Palmetto, Fla. Last place in the top ten went to George Constantine of Southbridge, and Bob Publicker of Fort Lauderdale, in a Ferrari. The winning Porsche averaged 84.9 miles an hour, short of the record of 86.7 miles an hour set by Peter Collins of England and Phil Hill of America in a Ferrari in the 1958 Cousy Answers Chamberlain WORCESTER, Mass.

Boston Celtics captain Bob Cousy, who asked to be considered spokesman for other players in the National Basketball challenged Wilt 1 Chamberlain's "uncalled for words" made in his retirement announcement. In an exclusive interview with Tom Carey of the Worcester Gazette, Cousy commented: "Frankly, whether Chamberlain is playing or not is a point of complete indifference with me. I feel that everybody in the league with the exception of Eddie Gottlieb, owner of the Philadelphia Warriors, thinks the same as I do." "Chamberlain gives the ra-, cial issue as one reason for quitting," Carey's article quoted Cousy as saying. "In my 10 years in the NBA, I never saw any evidence of racial prejudice. There are over 100 Negro players who have either tried out or made positions with clubs in the league and I have never heard such a similar complaint from them."

Spahn, Willey Pitch Shut Out for 8 Frames FORT MYERS, Fla.

The Pittsburgh Pirates won their 10th straight exhibition baseball game Saturday beating the Milwaukee Braves 1-0 on Dick Schofield's two-out single in the ninth. Righthander Vernon Law went seven innings for the Pirates and allowed Milwaukee only four hits before retiring in favor of rookie Earl Francis in the eighth. Francis finished the shutout job by giving but one hit and got credit for the victory. Milwaukee hurlers Warren Spahn and Carlton Willey held the Pirates in check for eight innings, but Bob Giggie ran into trouble in the ninth. Bill Mazeroski drew a walk to lead off the inning.

Dick Barone was passed intentionally and Bob Oldis reached first safely when Johnny Logan hobbled his hot grounder at short. With the bases loaded, Francis smacked a one-hopper to third baseman Ed Mathews who tagged Mazeroski off the bag and then stepped on the sack to double Barone. But Schofield then sliced his single and Oldis scampered home from second with the winning tally. The Braves will meet Cincinnati at Tampa today.
