MONDAY, JULY 2, 1951 Garver Halts So finks Take Lead By STAN OPOTOWSKY (OT Spirts Writer) NEW YORK. July 2 —(UP)—The White Sox bubble burst today as they gave up the American league lead to the Yankees for the first time since May 28. It laid to come. These Sox who have not finished in the first di vision in seven years made a mag- lunge for glory with a 14- gßne winning string, and thereafter they fought off the Jabbing Yankee resurge with valiant vigor. . But for two weeks the dark sha dow of the inevitable was cast over Comiskey Park, and in the dusk of a Sunday the axe fell. The Yan kees started, the day a half game Out of the lead and they licked the Red Sox, 5-2, on Ed Ixjpat’s six hitter. The shaky White Sox went 11 innings against the Browns in UjC first game of a doubleheader LEE'S Truck Terminal # <@ 24 Hour Road And Wrecker Service * , PHONES 2727 - 2052 FAYETTEVILLE HWY. DUNN, N.

(Picture by J. W. Temple.) Burlington Driver Wins First' Place In Race —Bass Second Another slam-bam, roaring auto race was held at the Dunn-Erwin Speedway yesterday afternoon. Amidst the clouds of dust and the dripping sweat, the drivers of the hopped-up Ford coupes drove like mad again for the small amount of cash and the big thrill of speed and competition. Yesterday’s race was taken by an outsider, an outcome which has happened only on rare occasions this summer. For the most part, the local drivers have topped the field in the Dunn-Erwin races. A. B. Chestnut of Burlington in car 3 took the top prize of the day as he and Bob Bass of D*unn in car 78 traded positions twice dur ing the Feature Race. Chestnut won the second Heat Race also which brought him more cash and’ a front row, starting position. He jumped into the lead and held it for 10 laps, but then Bob Bass came up from his second-place position and took the lead for the next seven laps. Chestnut camg back by Bass in the 17th round and stayed there for the rest of the race. Banks Simpson of Durham took third place In his car 3, and he is one of a group who thinks that he should have been given second place. The first Heat Race was taken; by Banks Simpson with Bass codl ing in second after taking a spin on the back turn. The Consolation Race was won by Lacy Jackson of Dunn in his car 666. He was followed in the No. THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C. 2 spot by Bill Haire, another local driver. In his 1942 street Ford. Haire had some tough luck before the race began when the motor blew up in his fine racer 41. Ralph Godwin, another local driver who has collisions for a hob by, collided with Dunn from Ham let in car 54 after he had struck the fence with his car 66 rigs.% in front of the grandstand. Bill Haire is going to take Bob Bass’ car to Henderson and drive it in the July 4th race. Bass is going to spectate at Darlington.
