A -S 'fe THE TLATE TRYING TO SCORE ON GROUNDER IN FIRST GAME AT ST. LOUIS Kryhoski grounded to Owen Friend, whose peg to Catcher Sherman LoIIar caught Johnny SLATES SPOILED Bowes Car also Out of Classic Only One 'Bump' in Final Tests INDIANAPOLI (U.R) Twenty racing cars attempted to qualify for Tuesday's 500-mile speedway chase in hectic last-minute runs Sunday but only one driver, Johnny McDowell, of Los Angeles, made the grade.

The 33 final qualifiers averaged 131.045 miles an hour, compared with last year's record of 128.361. Drizzling rain kept the track closed for three and a half of the six hours permitted for final time tests. Nearly every car in the grounds which had not made the 33-car field was ready for a last-minute effort, but there was heartbreak for three of the top-flight racing vehicles which had not made the grade. BOTH OF the Novi Governor specials which set remarkable speed records in the last two years, and the Bowes Seal Fast Special in which Rex Mays won the pole position in 1948, could not complete their qualification runs. Duke Nalon, who held the pole position last year in one Novi, was forced out with a broken supercharger shaft.

Chet Miller, in the sister car, was kept out of action by sparkplug trouble. Bill Cantrell, in the Bowes car, simply couldn't get up enough speed to break into the lineup and never completed his qualifying run. McDowell's average speed was 129.692 miles per hour. He pushed Cliff Griffith, of Indianapolis, out of the race. Griffith previously had qualified at 129.014 mph.

The slowest car to stay in the starting field was a Diesel which Jimmy Jackson qualified Saturday at 129.208 mph. Even with the knowledge that a speed of more than 129 mph was necessary, three drivers Chuck Leighton, George Fonder and Joe! James completed their 10-mile! tests but were far too slow to get into Tuesday classic. 1 JAMES HAD qualified another car earlier at 124 mph and that vehicle was the first eliminated in the "bumping" process which began Saturday. There were two minor accidents during the day's speed tests.

I Joe Page was a hero and a groat in the Yanks' split. The great relief pitcher saved thr first game for Vic Raschi but lost the second when he threw home run balls to pinch-hitter Billy Hitchcock and Bob Dillinger in the sixth inning.

TIIK GAME was called after the Yanks' half of the seventh because of Pennsylvania's Sunday curfew In addition to his homer, Dillinger banged out two doubles and a single and scored three runs. The Washington Senators edged the third-place Boston Red Sox. 7 to 6. winning in the seventh inning when Ed Stewart scored all the way from first base on a hit-and-run single to center by Sam Mele, a former Red Sox outfielder. Another ex-Red Sox, Mickey Harris, saved the game for Sid Hudson by retiring Ted Williams and Yern Stephens in the ninth with the tying and winning runs the bases.

The victory was Hudson's sixth. CLEVELAND and Chicago di- vicled a pair of shutouts.

Teamsters, off to a roaring start in Class were cooled by Beckwith Evans, suffering their first setback of the season, 7 to 6. in 10 innings.

Two Class clubs. Oakwood Blue Jackets and Indigo, felt the sting of defeat for the first time. Class experienced a day of fine pitching. The best of the lot was Wayne Hule's one-hitter. It was a needless effort, however, for his Shamrock club toppled Upholstery, 17 to 0.

i Relief Pitcher Al Sedik came up with unexpected power to give a i Beckwith Evans its extra-inning victory over Teamsters' Class A leaders. Sedik, who replaced Starter Joe Ross in the eighth, clubbed a tremendous triple to left, scoring Harry Lindbergh, who had singled, with the run that snapped Teamsters' winning streak. It was Teamsters' first loss in five starts, but the truckers still remain a half game ahead of the field.

LOUIS Paul (Dizzy) Trout, making his first start since 1948? and big Freddy Hutchinson boosted the Detroit Tigers' winning streak to four games Sunday by sweeping a double-header from the St. Louis Browns.

Hutchinson won the first one. 6 to 2, and Trout out -pitched Harry Dorish in the second, 2 to 1. before 6,059 fans. The twin killing moved the Bengals within two games of the league-pacing New York Yankees, who split with Philadelphia. Freddy scattered nine hits.

Trout gave up only five, three of them coming in the first three innings. In addition to turning in a masterpiece on the mound, Trout had the satisfaction of driving in the winning run. All the scoring came in the second frame. JOHNNY GROTH doubled with one out. After Dick Kryhoski grounded, Bob Swift doubled Groth home.

Trout then slashed a single to center scoring Swift with the deciding marker. The Browns scored their lone run in the second when Trout had a little control trouble and was in his worst jam. Hank Arft doubled leading off, and came home on an infield out and an outfield fly. Trout then Wilked a pair but escaped further damage. A double play pulled Trout out of trouble in the third when he walked a pair and Dick Kokos singled.

From there only three Brownies reached first. Leo Thomas singled in the sixth. Dorish singled in the seventh and Arft walked in the eighth. Dorish pitched over some rough spots effectively, although he was nicked for nine hits. The Tigers wasted a pair of hits in the first, two more in the third and had two more runners on in the eighth, but score.

AL WIDMAR was the Tiger victim in the first contest. Vic Wertz was the big gun as the Tigers slammed 13 hits, including five extra-base blows. Wertz had three of the safe- ties, including his fifth homer of the season. In fact it was Wertz's bat which provided the Tigers with their margin of victory. He hit his homer 'with George Kell on in the first to give Hutchinson a 2-0 lead.

Vic's long fly in the third scored Jerry Priddy who had doubled and moved to third on Kell's second hit. HUTCHINSON was stronger at the finish of his duel with Widmar than he was at the start. The Brownies picked up six of their nine hits in the first four innings and scored both of their runs during that time. Only three Brownies reached base in the final six innings. The Tigers put the game on ice in the fourth and fifth when they collected three more runs.

Hutch scored in the fourth when he was safe on Arft's error and came home on Johnny Lipon's double. Singles by Wertz, Groth and Kryhoski, plus an infield error gave the Bengals two more in the fifth. The twin victories ran the Tiger record to six consecutive triumphs over the Browns in Sportsman's Park and seven in the eight game the teams have played. It also made the Detroit road record read 14 victories in 17 starts. IN THE four games played here, the Tigers pounded Brownie pitching for 52 hits.

Kell led with nine in 18 trips to the plate. Hutchinson's triumph was his fourth of the season against three defeats. Trout chalked up his second straight victory. He won the other in a relief job against Washington. The Tigers left immediately after the game for home where they will engage Cleveland in a double-header Memorial Day.

Manager Red Rolfe has indicated that Art Houtteman and Hal New-houser will face the Tribe. FIRST GAMF DETROIT ST.

Greene, NBA commis sioner, announced the actions, both based on a poll of the NBA's ex- ecutive committee. HE SAID the vote was solidlv i against vacating LaMotta's crown, but was just as solidly in favor of having the Robinson-Villemain (winner challenge for the title. Greene explained that LaMotta is scheduled to defend against ex-champion Rocky Gra-; ziano in New York June 28; and that the winner of that Polo Grounds bout must defend within 90 days against the Rob-j inson-Villemain victor. The Pennsylvania commission requested the NBA to take away LaMotta's crown because he failed to defend within the required six months' period, and to recognize the Robinson-Villemain winner as champion. Greene emphasized that if Gra-; ziano wrests the crown from La-! Motta on June 28, Graziano must; defend against the Robinson-Ville- main winner, instead of going! through with a contract that calls for Rocky to grant LaMotta a 1 return title bout within 90 days.
