Giants Slight Favorites To Beat Steelers By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The New York Giants, who handed the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts their first 1958 defeats in the last two weeks, face a really rugged National Football League hurdle Sunday in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Don’t snicker. The Giants (5-2) have a well-earned reputation tor whipping first-place teams and then falling on their faces against clubs with so-so records such as the Steelers (3-4). The Giants, tied with the Browns tor first place in the Eastern Division, are—slim,. I*4point choices tor their clash with the Steelers at Pitt Stadium. The Browns, who have dropped two straight games after sweeping their first five, are 5*4-point choices to beat the Redskins < 3-4) at Washington. The Steelers and Redskins are two games behind the Giants and Browns and can turn the Eastern Division into a four-team race by winning. ‘ Baltimore, a game ahead of the second-place Bears (5-2) in the Western race, is a 3ti-point underdog against that club at Chicago in Sunday’s other top game. Baltimore has a 6-1 record. The Los Angeles Rams (4-3) are 10-point choices to down the Packers (1-5-1) at Green Bay. If the Rams win, they will be only a game out of first place, providing the Bears beat the Colts. In Sunday's other games, the Lions (2-4-1) are 7*4-point favorites to tame the San Francisco Forty-Niners (3-4) at Detroit, while the Chicago Cardinals (2-4-1) and Eagles (1-5-1) are rated even tor their game at Philadelphia. The Giants, already beaten this season by the Eastern Division s two bottom clubs (Eagles and Cardinals), face a Pittsburgh team that has given, them fits in recent years. The Steelers knocked New York out of the running for the Eastern crown in 1950, 1951, 1952 and 1957. New York was a four - point favorite early this week but slipped Y6*S*’l%-point choice when it was learned three of its top players—Alex Webster, Roosevelt Brown and Jack Stroud—probably would miss the game. They were injured in last Sunday’s rugged game with the Colts. Cleveland, which has lost three straight games only once in its i 13-year history, dropped its last two starts after sweeping its first

Ervin Jr. (D-N.C.) said today the new Senate Rackets Committee hearings already have demonstrated the need for some clarification of secondary boycott laws. But Ervin said he was unwilling at this point to subscribe to the views of one witness who urged Congress to bring labor unions under federal anti-trust legislation. Ervin based his comments on the first two days of the boycott investigation. It will be resumed next week. He presided at Friday’s hearing in the absence of Chairman John L. McClellan (DArk.), who is receiving hospital treatment for a knee ailment. The committee spent the entire day hearing testimony on what Sen. Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb.) described as a “brazen, cold blooded” boycott against the Burt Manufacturing Co. of Akron, F.C. Sawyer, vice president of the company estimated it had lost three or four million dollars worth of business because of coercion and intimidation by the AFL-CIO Sheet Metal Workers Union. He asked Congress to provide more protection against boycotts. Union Secretary-Treasurer Edward F. Carlough and William O. Frost, business agent of the Akron local, conceded they tried to persuade contractors to use only equipment made by their members. . " But both denied the union violated the Taft-Hartley ban on secondary boycotts. The Burt company, which 'makes ventilating equipment, has l a contract with the AFL-CIO | Steelworkers Union. Carlough disputed charges that the sheet metial workers confronted the comI pany with the choice of giving them the steel workers contract ior going out of business. I He said the union was trying Ito protect the jobs of its members and protect their employers from unfair competition.

Tony Anthony Wins Against Sonny Ray NEW YORK (UPD — Tony Anthony, the top light heavyweight contender who snapped Sonny Ray's winning string Friday night, will launch his campaign for a shot at the heavyweight 1 crown in Madison Square Garden ' in January, probably against Wil- ' lie Pastrano. ; That’s what matchmaker Jack Barrett said today after a quick ! huddle with Anthony and Manager Ernie Braca. , Tall, slender Anthony of New ' York, who came from behind Frii day night at the Garden to regisi ter his seventh straight victory on a unanimous decision over Chicago Ray, said, “I can weigh about ; 180 pounds as a heavyweight, and j be real strong at that figure.” t Tony scaled 17714 against Ray’s ■ 172'A as he ended bull-shouldered ■ Sonny’s winning streak at nine i bouts, after taking the last three rounds on all three official score i sheets with terrific barrages to body and head. Die scoring favored Anthony on > rounds: 6-3-1, 7-3. 5-4-1. For seven rounds, Ray threatened an upset against the 4-1 favorite as he forced Anthony about the ring with a bulldozer attack directed principally at the body. In the second round. Sonny jackknifed Anthony with a left hook to the midsection and had him lurching sideways woozily. He had ' an advantage also in the hard fighting in the third and fifth ses sions and did well in the sixth and seventh. But Anthony almost stopped him in the eighth with a leftright to the chin and a full minute’s battering on the ropes. Tony also barraged him effectively in the ninth and 10th.

Mel Off Badly Hurl In Crash Friday Night GULFPORT, Miss. (UPD—MeI Ott, one of baseball’s all - time greats and a star for the New York Giants for 20 years, fought today to recover from critical injuries received in an auto accident. Ott and his wife, Mildred, both 49, were injured Friday night when his stationwagon crashed head-on with another car. Leslie F. Curry Sr., 50, driver of the other car, was killed instantly. The accident happened as the Otts were driving away from a restaurant at Bay St. Louis, a Mississippi Gulf Coast town west of the Gulfport-Biloxi area. They were taken to the Hancock Hospital at Bay St. Louis for emergency treatment and then removed to Gulfport Memorial Hospital where Ott will undergo orthopedic surgery sometime today. Is Critical Condition Ott’s condition was described as “critical.” Mrs. Ott was in serious condition. Curry, a Negro carpenter, was the father of seven. Ott received fractures of both legs, lacerations of the left elbow and forehead and possible internal injuries. Mrs. Ott suffered a fractured left forearm, lacerations of the forehead and possible internal injuries. Hancock County Sheriff Sylvan J. Ladner Jr. said Ott, who played in the outfield for the Giants for 20 years was driving his car onto a highway from a restaurant when it smashed headon into Curry's car. The Otts’ daughter, Mrs. Phillip Loria of New Orleans, said her parents were spending the week end at their newly acquired cottage in Bay St. Louis on the Gulf Coast. She said they were apparently going back to the cottage after eating at the restaurant when the accident happened. For the past three seasons Ott has been a member of the Detroit Tigers broadcasting team. During the winter months, he lives with his wife and a daughter, Barbara Ann, in Metairie, La., a suburb of New Orleans. Had Unique Style The 5-foot-9 left-handed power hitter was born in Gretna, La., just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. He made a spectacular entry into baseball in 1926 when, without any minor league experience, he 1 played in 35 games for the Giants 1 and batted .383. 1 He continued to play for the 1 National League Giants until 1946. The last four years of his playing career, he also served in the capacity of a player - manager. He ; continued to manage the New ■ York team until 1948. Ott, in order to compensate for his lithe 160-pound frame, had the characteristic of raising his foot just before he took a swing at the ball. This, he claimed, gave him the added power which captured for him several National League records, some of which he still holds. Among his standing records are 511 home runs, the most ever garnered in a lifetime by a National League player.

He also holds the National 1 League record for the most runs 1 batted in with a lifetime total of 1 1,860. His lifetime batting average 1 was .304. Increase In Social Security Benefits Payments Increase In February, 1959 More than 30,000 social security beneficiaries in the eight northeastern Ihdiaha counties serviced by the Fort Wayne dis- ■ trict office of the social security administration, will receive in- ' creased federal old-age, survivors and disability insurance payments early in February, 1958, Christian H. W. Luecke, manager, said today, in submit- ! ting his report for October. 1958. Although the increase in payments will average about 7%. ■ this will not mean a 7% increase in every case, Luecke said. Retired workers, 65 or over, ’ now receive monthly payments ranging from S3O to $108.50. Under the new law, the monthly payments will range from $33 to > sll6. , Anyone now receiving social security payments does hot have ; to apply for the increase, Luecke said. These higher payments i will automatically be given to ' all beneficiaries. 1 The report for October follows: Account number cards E issued 908 I Assistance to employers, workers, etc. „ 107 i New disability claims ’ > cleared — r ... 106 New OASI claims cleared— 527 > Beneficiaries served 1406 General inquiries served 1853 i » MOVIE ’ (Continued from page one) Ann Minardos. . ‘ He made more than 100 movies, ' including “Blood and Sand,” “The Razor’s Edge” and “The Captain from Castile.” His most recent
