Colts, Browns Bolster Leads In Pro League By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Baltimore Colts and Cleveland Browns appear headed for a National Football League title ' showdown that would pit Jimmy Brown against Alan Ameche in a classic battle of fullbacks. : Brown erased one of professional football's proudest records Sunday with a 152-yard surge that 1 helped Cleveland regain a onegame Eastern Division lead with a 20-10 victory over the Washington Redskins. He boosted his 1958 rushing total to 1.163 yards, smashed Steve Van Buren’s olij season mark of 1,146 and still has four games to produce the most fantastic rushing total in NFL history. Ameche, a 220-pound battering ram, gained 142 yards as Baltimore invaded Wrigley Field and i boosted its Western Division lead i back to two games by blanking the Chicago Bears, 17-0. The ! Bears, almost unbeatable at home, could have tied the Colts for first by winning but suffered their first shutout since 1946 before a sellout crowd of 48,664. i Steelers Wallop Giants The Pittsburgh Steelers would . almost prefer a victory over ( Cleveland to a capacity crowd . but gave the Brownies a vital asj sist by walloping the New York Giants, 31-10. It was a familiar chore for the Steelers. They’ve ’ ruined New York’s Eastern title hopes four times in the past eight years. The Los Angeles Rams moved into a second-place tie with the Bears by defeating the Packers at Green Bay, 20-7. Clarence Peaks scored four times to spark the Philadelphia Eagles to a 49-21 victory over the Chicago Cardinals while Gene Gedman scored a ! pass to help the Detroit Lions whip the San Francisco FortyNiners, 35-21. J Each team has four more .(games but Baltimore, paced by , Ameche, George Shaw and a brilJliant defense, may have vaulted i its biggest hurdle at Chicago. Proves Excellent Replacement . s John Unitas, Baltimore’s No. 1 . quarterback, is sidelined with . | cracked ribs but Shaw proved an excellent replacement. He completed six of six passes during Baltimore’s first scoring drive in the second quarter, climaxing the 93-yard march with a seven-yard scoring toss to Ray Berry. Ameche lunged four for Baltimore's other second period touchdown and Steve Myhra added a 12-yard field goal in the final period. The Giants appeared headed for their fourth straight victory when they took a 10-0 lead but quarterback Bobby Layne plunged a yard" for Pittsburgh’s first touchdown just before the first half ended. The Steelers took charge in the second half. Layne threw a 10-yard scoring pass to Tom Tracy and sneaked a yard for another touchdown after Gary Glick recovered Frank Gifford’s fumble and raced 36 yards to score. Browns Break Tie Cleveland can’t win at Detroit but usually has the necessary an-
