Of se, not as spectacular and lacking the colorful racers, and distance. But enthusiasm among the local drivers is at a high pitch and the local jalopys are getting a thorough going over. 100 laps on this half mile track may not knock the poor cars dizzy, ‘but one will get you two the driv- ers will be. As this is far beyond the normal distance of Stock Car races. It will be interesting from a "| mechanical standpoint just how much punishment these souped up motors can take. There are num- ,}erous opinions for and against them going the distance. Sunday afternoon will tell:'the tale. A large placard will be installed for the benefit of the public. The lead cars numbers will be posted at intervals throughout the race. The drivers will be allowed to pull in the pits for servicing at their discretion, Twenty four cars have been en- tered, of course when the call to post comes, there will be a few that will absolutely refuse to budge but, there should be a good heavy field, which will make the going rough all the way. When the race is finally over, you will se a greasy grimmy and gritty crew of driv- ers. Yes, the word is gritty for their spirits won’t be daunted in the least. Time trials will start at 1 p. m. all cars that are not on hand to qualify by 1:30 p. m. will draw a rear starting position.

Campbell ranks as one of the finest tee shot players of the world’s active amateurs. Bachli will have to be extremely steady ‘to stay with the American if Camp- 's good | bell’s drives ,continue straight as an arrow on Muirfield’s fairways. But there is also a sentimental reason why Campbell is the choice. The surname of Big Bill from Huntington recalls glory of the old clan. This is the day for wearing Campbell tartan for anyone relat- ed to the family. Campbell reached the big round by eliminating Dublin’s Joe Carr, defending champion, 3 and 2 in the semi-final round yesterday. In the morning he defeated A. M. Bucher, a Scot, 5 and 4. Bachli defeated Keith Tate of England 1-up on the hole in the morning and then out England’s W. A. Slark 3 and 2 in the semi-finals. The eyes of horses have consid- erable color vision, being most sen- sitive to green and yellow and least sensitive to red. to Key West, this year and a large turnout is expected. Rosen’s Bat ‘|Booming For Indians By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer If Al Rosen can continue his present pace, he’s going to force the, major league bageball writers to dig up a new award. The writers unanimously picked Rosen as the most valuable player in the American League last season, the first time any player had been selected on a perfect ballot. The handsome, prematurely grey Cieyeland star polled the landslide after. sweeping virtually every available hitting honor and missing the battmg crown by a single point. It was a tremendous year, leav- ing little room for improvement. But this season he’s ahead of his last year’s pace in every depart- ment. In 37 games he has collected 51 hits in 137 times at bat for an average of .372. He’s hit 13 home runs, scored 29 and driven in 48. At the same stage a year ago he was hitting .338 with 47 hits, 10 homers, 22 runs and 30 runs ‘pat. ted in. Not only is he getting more of everything but his timing has been near perfection. For example, in the last 15 days he has personally accounted for the winning or tying run in 6 of the 12 games won by Cleveland. He did it again last night as he broke up a scoreless pitching duel between Early Wynn and Steve Gromek of Detroit with his 13th home run with Larry Dboy on base in the seventh inning. The final the Tigers on two hits. By winning the Indians stayed nine percentage points ahead. of the onrushing Chicago White Sox who swept a twilight-night double- header from slump-ridden Balti- more, 11-6 and 14-8. The New York Yankees came from six runs be- hind to edge Boston 10-9 and Phila- delphia bowed to Washington 12-6. In the National League the first place Milwaukee Braves extended their winning streak to 10 although they had to go 12 innings to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2. New York battered Brooklyn 11-7, knocking the Dodgers into fourth place.
