By CARL LUNDQUIST
(United Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK llfl This time
even Manager Casey Stengel is op
timistic he thinks his Yankees
will have less trouble winning their
fourth straight pennant than they
did the other three.
The wrinkled faced skippei
wouldn’t make a flat prediction
He just shrugged his shoulder:,
.csspd off a long cool doubleheaCe •
victory drink and said ."it looks
lit? we’re on our way.”
"The big thing was the pitching,
and now it is coming around,” he
said. "Look at the way both oi
our guys did in winning the double
header from the Browns.”
Stengel was especially pleased
over the nine innings of fine relief
work by Lefty Bob Kuzava in the
5 to 2 first-game victory. He made
only passing mention of the three
hit 3 to 0 win by Vic Raschi in the
second game.
•“Kazava can do the job for us it
he can keep that up," he said.
“Raschi is dependable we knew
what he could do.”
FINE RELIEF JOB
Kuzava, the blond lefty, took over!

Herb Thomas Leaves Race
With Mechanical Failure
Last year’s National Champion
in N.A.S.C.A.R.’S. Grand National
Circuit, Herb Thomas of Olivia,
ran into tough luck yesterday at
the big Occoneechee Speedway
race for Strickly Stock Cars. The
Harnett county driver had pushed
his famous Hudson Hornet 92 to
the front of pack after only three
laps in which he trailed the famous
Flock brothers of Georgia, Tim and
Fontv, After leading the field with
ease for over half the race, Thomas
began having wheel-bearing trouble
which finally meant his defeat.
Nineteen of the best drivers in
the G.N. circuit started the fast
100-miles race on the mile-long
dirt track which is located near
Hillsboro. The positions of the cars
were determined bv one-lap Ti> •
Trials which were held immediately
r,receding the race. As a result,
five Hudsons and an Oldsmobile
were in the front positions, and
these six cars pulled awav from
the railing cars shortly after the
race began.
BIG NAMES IN RACING
Thomas, Tim Flock. Fonty Flock.
Joe Eubanks, Dick Rathman and
Buck Baker were driving the front
cars, and these drivers battled hard
fro the lead for about 10 laps. Af
ter this stage of the race. Baker
and Rathman began to fall back
of the leaders, but the four’front
cars were still pushing each other
for the lead.
After Thomas had pulled out for
a pit-stop for an overhaul on the
front-right whetel-assembly, the
field moved out in front of him
with such a lead that it left the
fast-driving Herb with little chance
to get back into contention. The

s. major., this year. He gave up no

over the National Champion,.
FAILED HIM TWICE
i The Harnett speedster moved
I back into the scramble and push
ed the Hudson hard to try and
overtake some of the slower curs’
1 positions, but that front wheel-as
sembly just wouldn't stand up un
der the punishment and Thomas’
i car failed him in less than 10
i. more laps after joining the field
: the second time. The car stopped
on the edge of the fourth turn,
and to top off a most unlucky day,
; Biuce Atchley of Loudon, Teunes
• see, skidded around the turn in his
Hudson and slammed' into the fa
mous 92. ,
So you would think that that
certainly was the end of Thomas
for the day, but Herb took uteth
er Don’s Ford and it
into ninth place and 136 points for
his .52 total, the winner got 200
points.
LEADERS COME THROUGH
The first three places in the
big North Carolina race were tak
en by: Tim Flock of Hapsville.
Ga. (Ist), Fonty Flock of Decatur, I
Ga (2nd), and Dick Rathman of
Los Angeles (3rd). G. N. circuit j
leader at the present time for the I
'52 season, Lee Petty of Randle - i
man, took fourth place with his
trusty Plymouth. Petty hasn’t had
the speed to win a single race this
season, but he finished among the I
first five places in nine of the 15 j
races up until now.
Four of the cars at the fast Oc
coneechee track yesterday lapped
the big oval at speed just short
of 90 miles per hour. How about
that!
Another outstanding Strictly
Stock Car race will be presented
North Carolina race fans next Sat
urday night at Bowman Gray Sta
dium in Winston-Salem. The track
is only a quarter-mile in length,
paved, and narrow—that means j
I plenty of action.
