WALLARD
IS WINNER
AUTO RACE
INDIANAPOLIS, May 31 — lift—
Lee Wallard, winner of the 35th an
nual 500-mile auto race at the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway, haf
made it a driving contest again.
The post war theory of competing
in the "500” generally was to drive
steadily at a speed a little better
than previous winning times, more
or less ignoring the competition.
Wallard changed that in his first
speedway victory. He pushed hi:
hardest all the way yesterday to wir
at 126.244 miles an hour — almost
5 miles faster than Bill Holland’:
1949 record.
The 40-year-old Altamont, N. Y.,
veteran treated the big race like b
dirt track sprint.
It was the fourth straight run
ning of^the race without a fatality.
Mauri Rose of South Bend, Ind.
trying to become the first man tc
win four times, wrecked at the
northwest turn after 312 ',4 miles.
His car lost a wheel and overturned
But he escaped with only scratches
Otherwise, there were only minor
skids and spins.
Wallard dashed into the lead on
the first lap.
The pace that knocked 25 cars out
of the race was so fast that all of
the six who finished the full 500
miles, bettered Bill Holland’s two
year-old record of 121.327 miles per
hour.
Mike Nazaruk of East Meadow,
L. I„ competing for the first time,
took second money in Johnnie Par
son’s 1950 winning car.

JOEY MAXIM
IS WALLOPED
BY CHARLES
CHICAGO, May 31 —(A;—Ezzard
Charles, heavyweight champion of
the world, today is positive light
heavyweight champion Joey Maxim
wants no more ring traffic with him.
Maxim is of the same opinion,
,oo, after absorbing a one-sided
rimming by Charles at the Chicago
Stadium last night. It was their
ourth engagement with Charles
winner of them all.
Charles, making the eighth de
fense of his crown, won the unani
nous verdict of Referee Frank Gil
mer, two judges and the bored ap
proval of 7,226 spectators in pasting
Maxim for 15 rounds.
Despite the poor crowd, Charles
Docketed a *62,147.60 pay-check,
hanks to a *100,000 television purse.
Maxim got $31,073 for his losing ef
fort.
At the finish, Maxim was a reeling,
.ired, exhausted fighter. His right
eye was swelling shut and he was
bleeding from a cut under the eye
and above it. Charles was unmarked.
Charles’ next outing may be
against aging Jersey Joe at Pitts
jurgli July 18.

SOLON! AT
TOP AGAIN,
P.C. LEAGUE
By Associated Press
Sacramento is perched atop the
Pacific Coast League baseball heap
again by a precarious halt-game
margin.
The Solons stepped on the bot
tom-rung San Francisco Seals twice,
9-7 and 7-3, in Memorial Day con
tests to regain the lead from Seat
tle. The Rainiers helped by drop
ping one end of their doubleheader
with Oakland.
A1 Lyons, the pitcher who would
rather play outfield, demonstrated
why as he hit two homers in the
second game to give Seattle a 4-3
win and an even split with Oakland.
The Oaks took the opener, 2-1, on
Earl Harrist's three-hitter.
Lyons' second homer came in the
eighth inning of the nightcap and
won the contest originally scheduled
for seven innings. Earlier, he had
smashed a two-run drive over the
fence. Gordy Goldsberry also hom
ered for the Rainiers’ fourth tally.
Marv Grissom, Seattle ace, racked
up his 11th win against four defeats.
Los Angeles used six homers to
club Portland twice, 9-6 and 11-7.
Beaver Joe Brovia hit three homers
accounting for six runs.
The twin win moved the Angels
over the skidding Beavers into a
tie for fourth with Oakland.
Hollywood retained its third place
spot by splitting a twin bill with
San Diego, taking the first 4-0 while
the Padres grabbed the second 4-2.
