Torpid Winner In Little Brown Jug DELAWARE, Ohio (UP) - Torpid has returned to form arid there were few around today to doubt but that he may be one of the greatest pacers of all time. The big bay colt from Sherwood Farms in Irvington, N.J., removed all doubt in beating a fine field on both a dry track and in the mud here Thursday, to capture the Little Brown Jug, the world’* richest pacing stake It was, as driver Johnny Simpson said in accepting the big trophy from Gov. C William O’Neill, “the hardest day’s work I have ever had." . It had indeed beep a rough afternoon for Simpson and Torpid, and the 39,000 spectators. Torpid, behind at the start in his first heat, roared on to win in 2:00 4-5 and then after roadscrapers and graders were called out to remove the mud caused by a sudden downpour, came back to beat his old tormenter, Adios Express, in the showdown heat. His time was 2:03 2-5. Simpson thus became the first driver ever to win this race two years in a row, having turned the trick last year with Noble Adios, in an upset. He also is the second driver to win both the Hambletonian for trotters and the Jug for pacers in one year. Meadow Lands, owned by Hugh Grant of Bradford, Pa., and Del Miller of Meadow Lands, Pa., was a surprise winner in the second heat, which was supposed to have been Adios. Miller, driving his colt, trailed Newport Judy until the final sixteenth of a mile, then blazed to victory in 2:01, best clocking o fthe Jug. Torpid pocketed $27,205 in winning the Jug and boosted his lifetime earnings to $182,000 Placings -behind Torpid and amounts won were Meadow Lands $11,029, Morris Eden $7,720, Adios Empress $6,617, Maxine’s Dream $6,617, Newport Judy $5,514, Great Adios $3,308, Meadow Rhythm $2.205, Duke of Wellington $2,205, and Razzlc Dazzle $1,102 Major League Leaders National League Player & Club G.

Archie Moore Favorite To Retain Title LOS ANGELES 'UP) — A superbly - conditioned Archie Moore attempts to stave off the ravages of time tonight as he enters the ring a 7-5 choice to retain his World light - heavyweight Crown against 22-year-old Tony Anthony. For Moore, it will be the fifth title defense of the championship he won in 1952—and some say it may be the easiest. Tall Tony has had only 35 fights in his whole life and, while knocking out 23 victims, himself has been kayoed four times The bout starts at 16 p-m. e.d.t., and will be nationally - televised and broadcast. “This is the chance I’ve been waiting for,” was the final prefight statement of young Anthony. Last Outing Dull If he is to win the crown he’ll have to do better than he did in his last outing —a dull 10 - round draw with Yvon Durelle in Detroit last June. That bout was seen on a national television show, too, and it did nothing to enhance the Anthony reputation. Tony's biggest accomplishment to date was the three-round kayo of Chuck Spieser earlier this year. His 23 kayos mostly have been over comparative unknowns. And he has been knocked out by a couple of guys named, not Joe, but Miguel Mendevil and Jacques Royer-Crecy. Also by a pair of good battlers named Willie Troy and Bobby BoydBut he hasn’t lost a fight since the kayo by Boyd in 1955 and, until the draw with Durelle, he had won seven in a row, with five of these knockouts. Some say this is the crossroads for Archie. His age is some place between 40 and 44 and, by all standards, he should be through. Archie Confident “I not only expect to keep my title,” says Arch, “but I hope to go on fighting for at least another five years. And I think I’ll try my luck in the heavyweight again, too” If this is the crossroads for Moore, it is one of the better ones. He will receive a guarantee of $90,000 for jjutting his title on the line. Except'for his heavyweight bouts, in which he was kayoed by Rocky Marciano and Floyd Patterson. it is one of his top paychecks in a 20-year career. For his efforts, Anthony is supposed to get one-third of the gate receipts above $40,000. Indications are now that the house will gross no more than $70,000 — so what Tony gets probably won't do anything more than cover training camp expenses. But Mr. Anthony isn’t interested in money right now. All he wants to be is champion of the world Bowling Scores Mixed Doubles First week’s results: Betty and Al Schneider 1204,, Helen and Virg McClure 1202.

Doubt Dodgers Will Remain In Brooklyn NEW YORK W — Unless a last-gasp meeting with Nelson Rockefeller today produces a ■‘miracle,” the sum of $6,500,000 may force the Brooklyn Dodgers to become the Los Angeles Dodgers. That’s the amount that the city of New York would have to pay to keep the Dodgers, under the plan proposed by millionaire Rockefeller. The city won’t pay it—a 14-2 vote against the plan is indicated in the Board of Estimate, thfe city’s top ruling body. Disappointed Mayor Robert F. Wagner called a meeting of five men in his ofifee this afternoon to see if new life can be breathed it to the plan. They are: Rockefeller, who has offered to invest two million dollars; Dodger President Walter O'Malley, whose agents also are meeting with Los Angeles officials today; Thomas Goodfellow, president of the Long Island Railroad which owns much of the land the Dodgers seek; John Cashmore, borough president of Brooklyn, and Wagner. “It’s the last gasp,” a high city official admitted. “Maybe something will come of the meeting, but I doubt it.” High School Football South Bend St. Joseph 14, Fort Wayne Catholic 7.

Yanks, Braves , To Use Leading 1 > Pitchers Today By FRED DOWN , United Press Sports Writer , The New York Yankees and , Milwaukee Braves put their best pitchers forward tonight when , they set out on “operation lockj up” against the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs. The Yankees, who can clinch Casey Stengel’s eighth American ’ League pennant in nine years by ' winning four of their last eight ’ games even if the Chicago White 1 Sox win all their 10, are sending Whitey Ford against the Red Sox 5 while the Braves, whose * magic ’ number” is six, have named War- • ren Spahn to start in quest of his - 20th victory against the Cubs. Barring an unforeseen turns about, these are the same pitchers > who will be on the mound on ■ Wednesday, Oct. 2, when the • World Series opens at Yankee I Stadium. Face Brewer, Rush i Ford, 10-4, will be opposed by : right- hander Tom Brewer, who • has a 16-12 record for the season but has beaten the Yankees only twice in his career. Spahn, 19-10, is expected to draw Bob Rush, 615. as his opponent. The White Sox, who nurtured faint hopes with Thursday's 7-3, 13-inning triumph over the .Washington Senators, start a threegame series at Cleveland with Dick Donovan, 16-5, facing Don Mossi, 10-9. The Cardinals, whose No. 1 objective is to stay close until their three-game series in Milwaukee. Sept. 23-24-25, have Vinegar Bend Mizell, 10-8, going against Cincinnati’s Don Gross, 6-9. Otherwise, the chief interest as the races near their end, centers on the race for the NL batting title between Stan Musial and Willie Mays. Stan leads, -343 to -338, but the New York Giant star has the advantage of not having to worry about a pennant race. Williams Conceded Crown The once-spectacular AL batting race is now being conceded to 39-year-old Ted Williams who has opened a 12-point lead over Mickey Mantle. .377 to .365. , The White Sox kept plugging away in Thursday’s only major league activity, scoring four runs iii the 13th inning to cut the Yankee lead to six games. Nelson Fox, the tough little second-baseman, broke a 3-3 tie with his fourth hit, a two-run homer, and the White Sox added two more on a homer by Minnie Minoso, Jim Landis’ double and Ted Beard’s single. Bob Keegan, who pitched a nohitter against the Senators on Aug. 20, got credit for his 10th win in relief while Pedro Ramos was the loser.
