This an 7 That
The operation by skilled surgeons
to wire Ted Williams fractured
collar bone attracted as much
sports attention as the famed
’ "“stomache ache" acquired by the
immortal Babe Ruth from over-
indulgence in hot dogs and soda
pop. The Williams operation short-
ened from months to weeks the
time Ted will miss because of the
accident ... An old hitting master
from the Hall of Fame, Paul
Waner. spent considerable time this
spring working on Milwaukee’s base
stealing champion, Bill Bruton. A
dsHMK on the hoses, Bruton last
year hit a home run mi opening
day, then let a .250 batting average
mar his brilliant performances
afield and on the bases . . . Old
Pros finds it hard to quit, and that’s
why Otto Graham will be back
quarterbacking the Cleveland
Browns next year, at a reportedly
larger salary then he has ever re
ceived in the several years he has
led the Browns to the championship
play-offs . . . Everybody’s talking
about the Jones boys in the fight
game, and latest is Bobby Jones,
California journeyman who upset
Gil Turner recently.

FIELD LATCH , . . Here’s an easily operated latch for field gate
post, made of a stout, flexible sapling wired or bolted in fashion
shown above. Sapling is bent outward to engage latching wires.
Tension holds the wires tight but bend of sapling makes locking
the gate an effortless job.

Tickets Already on Sale For
Big Independence* Day Races
DARLINGTON, March 24—Tick
ets went on sale today for the
Independence Day Sweepstakes,
July 5 AAA big car championship
race at Darlington Raceway, ac
cording to Bob Colvin, President.
Sixteen thousand reserved seats
will be distributed on a first come
first served basis.
Most interest in the racing event
that will see thirty of the same
cars and drivers that will compete
at Indianapolis May 30, is based on
the contemplated speed the costly
ereatjons will register on this
banked speedway. No. other speed
way in America can produce the
sustained high speed the Darling
ton plant offers. Johnnie Parsons,
1950 Indianapolis winner, holds,
both the one lap and 200 mile
mark at Darlington with speeds of
113.636 and 104.651 mph marks
set in 1950, but those marks were
made before the huge saucer was
enlarged to its present length of
a mile and three eights with six
teen foot banking on the turns.
Back jn 1950, after his winning,
effort, Parsons said, "If you want
more speed just lengthen this
track a bit and put a lift to that
first turp.”
Viewing the result AAA officials
differed as to the driving styles
their drivers would employ to get
the desired speed. Some felt the
more conservative drivers, such
as AAA champion Sam Hanks,
former champion Chuck Steven
son, two-time winner of the Mexi
can Road Race, and Walt Faulk
ner, 1951 Darlington winner,
would pick a course about three
feet off the inside boundary of the
track, utilizing a steady pace.
The more spectacular, such as
Wally Campbell, Parsons and Bill
Vukovich, winner of the Indian
apolis 500 last year, would choose
to ride the rim of the track,
chancing a spill for the added ad
vantage the high banking would
give. "Regardless of where they
run,’’ Colvin said, "There will be
a new AAA speed record set.
Darlington is accepting mail
orders addressed to Darlington
Raceway, Darlington, South Caro
lina.
