CUMBERLAND, Md, May
16. Walter Hansgen couldn't
have won the feature sports
car race at Cumberland Air
port much more impresSively
yesterday, yet even if he had
put Briggs Cunningham's Ma
serati into orbit, the day al
ready belonged to Charlie Kolb.
The long, lean man from
Silver Spring, who is new sales
manager for the East Coast
distributor of Elva automo-
biles, made a mass sales pitch
to a mountainful of onlookers
officially announced at 54.-
S98-as he drove various mod
els of the Elva to victory in
three of the first nine races.
No one recalled any driver
ever winning three National
races in one day on a Sports
Car Club of America program.
Driving cars owned by Buddy
Horton of Hickory, N. c., Kolb
won all three events comfort
ably, and was cha renged Seri-
ously only in the third.
Leads All Way
Kolb led from the start and
built a 32-Second lead on Doug
Diffienderfer of Bethesda, driv-
ing his venerable Siata, before
breezing to victory in an Elva
Courier in the 35-minute Sec
ond race. He jumped quickly
into a Formula Junior Elva
for the Commute third race
and won by 80 seconds over
Denise McCluggage of New
York, who spun her OSCA
Junior on the last lap to ac-
count for much of the winners
margin.
In race No. 9, Kolb and Chuck
Dietrich of Sandusky, Ohio,
traded the lead in the Elva
Mark V's for six laps, then
Dietrich dropped back with me-
chanical ills and the 36-year-
old leader won by 15.4 seconds
over Frank Baptista of Hyatts-
vile.

Walloped IL times in Il

are hopeful of perking up or

the optimism is centered in the
fact that slugger Harmon
Killebrew figures to return to
duty somewhere along the way
Trainer George Lentz says
Harmon may be able to pinch
hit in a couple of days and
perhaps play regularly two OF
