Mantle overcome assorted leg ailments to pound out a .365 batting average that included 34 home runs and 94 runs batted in. The average was up from his .353 of last year, although he fell from his totals of 52 homers and 130 runs-batted-in — all figures that led the league. For Williams, who astounded the baseball world with his showing this year at the age of 39. it was another close defeat for the top award. But not nearly as close as in 1947 when he lost to another Yankee centerfielder, Joe DiMaggio, by just one point, 202-201. i Williams, who previously won the MVP plaque in 1946 and 1949, captured the league batting crown this year for the fifth time with a .388 mark. He also topped Mantle in homers with 38 and came close in runs-batted-in with 87 Siever’s Third ■ Sievers' third-place showing was one of the best in history by a player on a lasVplace team. It was a reward for winning the league home run title with 42 homers and the runs-batted-in title With 114. . r ’ ! Three baseball writers from each major-league city comprised the committee voting for the award. Mantle received the most first-place votes, six. and was placed no lower than fourth on any of the 24 ballots. Williams, on the other hand, received five first-place votes but was rated low on the list by two writers. One of them placed him ninth and the other 10th. Nellie Fox of the Chicago White Sox also had five first-place votes while Sievers and Gil McDougald of the Yankees each had four. Fox, the Sox’ scrappy second baseman. was a close fourth in the total vote with 193 and the versatile McDougald was fifth with 165. The rest of the field was distant.

Pro Gridders Threaten Suit Against Clubs CLEVELAND <UP> - National Football League Players’ Association counsel Creighton Miller and players' representative Norm Van Brocklin of the Los Angeles Rams will meet here Sunday to clearly define details of demands in the threatened multi-miHidh dollar suit against NFL club owners. Miller announced Thursday that player representatives have authorized him to file suit in Cleveland Federal District Court Dec. 3 if the owners fail to grant formal recognition of the association when they hold their preliminary draft meeting in Philadelphia Dec. 2. A formal written agreement from the NFL owners is the crux of the threatened legal action. Miller said NFL Commissioner Bert Bell already had recognized the association but the owners did not back him up by signing an agreement and fowning -a. pTiyer demands T In addition to formal recognition, the association is seeking pay for exhibition games, a share of receipts from the annual championship game and a clause in contracts protecting players who are injured before or during the season The meeting between Miller and Van Brocklin following the RamsBrbwns game may produce additional demands. The association will ask damages of 81,400,000 which would bring the total to 4.200,000 in a successful action in the treble damages usually awarded in antitrust cases. Miller cited as defendants the league club owners, the clubs and Commissioner Bell. 150 Enter Tourney At West Palm Beach WEST PALM BEACH.

Detroit Lions And Bears Meet Sunday DETROIT (UP> - It’s been 11 years since George Wilson graduated from “Halas University,” but Sunday will be the first time that the rookie Detroit Lions head coach will be able to show his old professor, George Halas, what he learned at the Chicago institution. Wilson was a star end for Halas* Chicago Bears from 1937 to 1946 and then he turned to coaching, two years as an. assistant to Halas and then eight years as a Lion assistant before tking over for Buddy Parker two days before the exhibition season began this year. “Nominally, George isn’t head coaching any more,” Wilson said, “but you can be sure he’s still keeping his hand in. “Despite the Bears’ record, we still expect a mighty tough game. They have tremendous personnel but just haven’t seemed to be getting the breaks,” Wilson said. Wilson won't mind if the Midway Monsters don’t get the breaks Sun day : with another sellout crowd guaranteed and the Lions fighting to hold first place in the National Football League’s Western division. • ■ ■ If the recent “jinx” holds true, the Lions will remain in first after the dav's action The “jinx” started with the Lions three seasons ago when they were shellacked, 56-10, by the Cleveland Browns in the NFL title game. The next year, 1955, the Lions nose-dived to last place and the Los Angeles Rams won the western crown. The Rams were manhandled by the Browns, 38-14, and last season the Rams wound up last, ’Die underdog New York Giants polished off the Bears last year, 47-7, and now the Bears, with a 3-5 record, could finish in the cellar.

Big Ten Grid Season Winds Up Saturday CHICAGO (UP) — lowa's clash with Notre Dame. Michigan State’s with Kansas State and four conference contests bring the Big Ten football season to a close Saturday. The lowa-Nbtre Dame game at South Bend, Ind , rates top interest, because for all practical purposes the Big Ten race ended last week with Ohio State taking possession of both the 1957 title and a certain Rose Bowl bid. The Hawkeyes will be seeking their seventh victory in nine starts when they invade the Irish stronghold as 7- point favorites. The game will be telecast over the NBC regional network starting at 1 c.s.t Michigan State, the nation’s topranked team, was a heavy favorite to defeat Kansas State. The Spartans have lost one game in eight, losing only to Purdue in mid - season upset. The Kansans have won only three games this season against opposition much inferior to their Saturday hosts. In conference games, Northwestern is at Illinois, Purdue at Indiana. Ohio State at Michigan and Wisconsin at Minnesota The Buckeyes will be aiming for their seventh straight Big Ten win at Ann Abor. Already owners of the championship and sure ticket to Pasadena, Calif., the Bucks have nothing to lose. Michigan, on the other hand, needs a victory to preserve its fourth place standing against threats from Purdue and Wisconsin. Two of the conference’s most frustrated squads will have their last opportunity to beat a league foe Saturday. But the oddsmakers gave them little chance. Northwestern was a 14-point underdog in its battle at Champaign. 111., against Illinois. The Wildcats have dropped a total of eight games, six against league tionIndiana, suffering a similar plight, also was an underdog in its annual Old Oaken Bucket clash with Purdue. The Boilermakers, holders of a 3-3 record in the league, were installed as 21-point favorites to down their intrastate rivals. Wisconsin’s young and speedy Badgers will bid for a first division finish when they tackle. nesota on the Gopher gridiron. The Gophers, winding up a disappointing season, were considered 7 potato better than the Badgers. Komets, Cincinnati To Battle Saturday FORT WAYNE — The stage has been set for one of the most crucial games in the I.H.L. schedule of the present season. The Fort Wayne Komets will meet the Cincinnati Mohawks on the Fort Wayne ice Saturday night for the top spot in the standing of the I.H.L.
