Beqley II Maurtua practices in Eastern tune-up Indy Speedway prepares for round three INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indianapolis 500-mile race, plagued by rain and already m’arred by a spectacular crash, was postponed a second time yesterday when officials said the famed track was not safe. Chief Steward Harlan Fengler, probably the busiest man at the ancient race course he has ruled for 16 years, an nounced that the third attempt to get the Sl-million classic under way will be made at 10 a.m. EDT today. He had told the 175,000 spectators, most of whom were huddled under umbrellas and plastic tarpaulins, that rain had made the 24-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway unsafe. The 57th running of America’s oldest and richest auto race had been set for a noon EDT start Monday. But three rain delays set it back for four hours before Fengler and other officials decided the asphalt was not dry enough to provide traction for the 190 mile-an-hour cars. The 33 starters actually were sent on their way Monday at 4:05 p.m., but most of them had gone only 100 yards before more than a dozen cars were involved in a massive pileup on the front straightaway. Wood's knuckler baffles American League hitters CHICAGO (AP) Wilbur Wood is excused from worrying about the Tigers. The Detroit Tigers arrived yesterday in Chicago for a two-game set, but there didn’t appear to be a way for Wood to get into action against them. The master of the flut tering. wobbling knuckleball that has baffled American League hitters again this year, got his twin victories Monday night. He pitched the last five innings of a game, which previously had been suspended. The Sox won 6-3 in the 2lst inning, and then Wood came right back to pitch a four-hit shutout. It wasn't the first time he won a pair in a single day, either. He did it in 1969 while he worked exclusively as a relief pitcher. Since turning to a starting role.

Meters inch into CINCINNATI (AP) Imagine Henry Aaron slamming a home run over the center field fence at the 123.13-meter mark. Or Howard Cosell commenting on a key ‘‘third and cen timeters” situation in foot ball. Brace yourself sports fans. The metric system could make the slide rule a necessity for reading the sports pages. The prospects of feet and inches being abolished promise to hit the sports fan where it hurts in the record book. The Cincinnati Reds of the National League, in a move apparently designed to show their feelings for the American League’s newly Driver David “Salt” Walther, a 25-year-old comparative new-comer from Dayton, Ohio, apparently lost control of his machine and climbed the homestretch fence separating the track from the spectator area. His car became a ball of fire, spraying flames and debris on people occupying expensive box seats just 20 feet from the track. Other drivers became involved and, in the end, two of them were treated for minor injuries. Walther was hospitalized with serious burns. His condition still was listed as serious yesterday. Nine spectators also were hospitalized, most for burns and some for eye injuries. An even heavier shower, the fourth of the day, forced a postponement until Tuesday. But the 24-hour delay didn’t help. Intermittent rains began. At one point, the cars were lined up and actually took one parade lap and part of the pace lap before starter Pat Vidan displayed a red flag indicating a halt to the proceedings as a drizzle began to fall. After that, cars and drivers remained on the front straight for three more hours before Fengler finally sent the racers back into their garages until today. Earlier, Fengler fined three drivers $lOO each for im proving their positions before Monday’s aborted start. They were Steve Krisiloff of Parsippany, N. J., the seventh place starter; Peter Revson of New York City, whose McLaren will go off 10th; and three-time winner A. J. Foyt, whose 23rd position was the worst he has ever had in 16 starts at Indy.

Baseball would be least affected by a change to the metric system, but some diehards might not take to the idea of reading about a tape measure home run of 172 meters instead of 600 feet. And how will Bear Bryant accept referring to football as “a game of decimeters?” Will Woody Hayes sputter when his offense is changed to "2.8 meters and a cloud of dust?"

Lion head netter Jan Bortner earned a third seeding in the talent-laden field with teammate Walker Shivar ranked seventh.
