NKW YtJltK SuDerstilious auto
race drivers preparing for the
.'iOO-iiitle liiiiiaiiapulis May 30 race
are eyeing the strange combina
tio.i of numbers offered by Milt
Mai ion, racing car owner from
Jericho, N. y.
For the 33rd running of the race,
Marion is entering car number 33
It is the fourth straight time that
number has been assigned to his
racing entry. And this year Marlon
also has drawn pit number 33, in
the famed "gasoline alley".
To race driven, many of whom
never race without a conglomer
ation of horseshoes, rabbit's feet
and assorted luck charms dang
ling from the dashboard, this
combination could speed Marion's
car a long way toward a "500"
win.
But Marion is not relying on
lucky numbers alone in his fourth
try for a win in the top auto race
He is entering a $22,000 Kurlis
Kraft racer, capable of hitting 160
miles-an-hour on the Indianapolis
straightaways. And to drive the
powenui racer, known as the
Machine Tool Special, Marion has
engaged Walt Brown, 38, a Long
Island resident from Massapenua.
Brown move for Marion In the
1947 i ace in a red Alfa-Romeo
and finished seventh in a fast field
in liis fii-l try for the huee iiuor
trophy. Tlr.' miUI-inanni red driver stars as the
also drovj his way into the "100-mile-an-houi
club" in his fresh-'
man effort on the big wheel.
Brown, in strict training for the
rugged grind, is a veteran of the
sport of auto racing. He has won
many fea'ure races in big-time
competition during his 15 years
of driving on American Automobile
Association tracks. The driver

finish line ahead of such racing

17 years, averaging 25 races a
year during that period. In ad

1948 Series Decisions

ALBERT SCHWEITZER, the man of many legends.
By FRANK ECK
AP Newsi'eatures Sports Kditor
NEW YORK Lou Boudreaus
new book "Player-Manager" makes
interesting reading, especially
those pages lie devotes to Un
pire Bill Stewart's decisions on
several close plays in last Octo
ber's World Series.
Boudreau, Cleveland's shortstop-manager,
still insists the Na
tional League umpire made two
bad calls against the American
Lea?le champions in their series
with the Boston Braves. On one
of the decisions, Louie is writing
through his hat.
The particular item with which
I find fault concerns a play in the
fourth game before a Saturday
crowd of 81,897 in Cleveland. In
the last half of the first inning,
Dale Mitchell led off with a single
through the box and advanced to
second as Larry Doby grounded
out.
Boudreau then lined a bit along
the right held foul line, scoring
Mitchell. Well here are Lous
exact winds in the book.
"Unforturiaieiy, i tiled to stretch

This, if anything, was an ad
mission by Louie that he was out.
His quotes got a good play and
it's surprising that Lou failed to
mention them in his book. And
they weren't uttered while he was
cooling off.
Boudreau also goes into detail
on the widely-discussed pick-off
play and refuses to give an inch.
It happened in the first game in
Boston in the eighth inning while
Bob Feller of the Indians and
Johnny Sain of the Braves were

scoreless duel.
