Race Won By
Troy Ruttman

INDIANAPOLIS R - Bill Vuko-
vich, Fresno, Calf, moved into
the indianapolis Motor Speedway
history book today alongside Ralph
DePalma and Louis Meyer-the
champion hard luck losers in Sc
Memorial Day auto races.
Troy Ruttman, Lynwood, Calf e,
and his car owner. J. c. Agajanian
San Pedro, Calf. the winning com
bination, will pick up a check for
about $65, 900 tonight at the annual
speedway victory dinner.
The purse will depend upon
the undisclosed attendance, which
looked like the biggest ever-may-
be 100000.
Vukoyich and car owner Howard
Keck, Los Angeles, may get $18,-
600, and $4,000 of that will rep
resent Vukovich's earnings for
leading $50 of the 200 laps.
Vukovich apparently had the
race won in the 192nd lap when
his steering shaft broke and his
car brushed the northwest outer
wall that left the 250-pound Rut-
tman far ahead of his nearest OPP
ponent and he won easily.
DePalma led in 1912 with less
than two laps to go. His Mercedes
engine failed and Joe Dawson
crossed the finish line while De-
Palma and his riding mechanic
were pushing their car.
Meyer was leading the 1889 race,
trying for the fourth victory that
no one ever has won, when he
lost a tire in the 197th lap. Wilbur
Shaw passed him for the big prize.
Vukoyick, former national midget
racing champ, was only about 26

time of his mishap in the fastest

Chicago White
Sox Take Two
From Indians
BY oRLo ROBERTSON
Associated Press Sports Writer


The storm flags were flying to-
day as the Brooklyn Dodgers
headed west and the Chicago White
Sox moved east with two of their
1851 hitting stars once again WELD
ing big bats.
True, two games do not make a
season, but Gil Hodges. Dodgers
first baSeman, and Minnie Minoso.
the White Sox great 1851 freshman
outfielder, pounded the ball Friday
in a manner that brought joy to
their followers.
Hodges, who not so long ago
was considered one of the leading
candidates to break Babe Ruth's
home run record, broke out of his
dismal 1913 batting slump to drive
home eight runs as the Dodgers
whipped the Boston Braves 5-4 and
11-2 He won the first with a three
run homer in the eighth and nailed
down the End with another three
run blast in the fifth.
At the end of the Memorial Day
doubleheader, Gil was sporting a
more respectable .227 average and
the Brooks trailed the National
League leading New York Giants
by only a half game.
Minoso, idle since May Is with
torn ligamentS in his right foot,
played an important role in tighten
ing the American League pennant
scrap. He had only a .237 average
going into the twin bill but when
the days work was done it was 3
points higher as the result OF three
home runs that led the ChicagoanS
to double victory over the pace
setting Cleveland Indians, 17-2 and
81.
Minnie hit three-run homer in
the seventh of the opener to break
a 2-2 deadlock and belted round
trippers in the fifth and seventh
innings of the nightcap to provide
Joe DobSon with the margin of
victory.
While Gil and Minnie were
thoroughly enjoying themselves
here's what happened elsewhere;
The Giants lost ground by divid-
ing doubleheader with Philadel-
phia, dropping the opener 30 and
winning the second Az. The Chica-
go Cubs whipped the Cincinnati
Reds, 7-6 and ITO, and Joe Cara
giola pounded out three-run ninth
inning homer to give the lowly
Pittsburgh Pirates 43 win over
st. Louis after the Cards had won
the first encounter 3-2.
And in the American League the
Boston Red SOx moved within a
game of the Indians by capturing
the nightcap, So. after Eddie
YOSt'S three-run ninth inning homer
gave the Washington Senators a
So win in the first half of the twin
bill.
The split left the Senators two
games off the pace and the White
SoX three.
Meantime, the Yankees found
troublesome foes in little Bobby
Shantz and Bob Hooper as the
Philadelphia Athletics took Two
from the world champions, 2-1 in
Ii innings and AZ. The champs
trail by three and one-half games.
The Detroit Tigers and StLouls
Browns broke even in the other
doubleheader. The Bengals won
the second in Il innings, SIS with
two bases loaded singles after the
Brownies had captured the opener
80 on a double by Joe Demaestrl.
