Wynn And Jones Are Rated Top Major Hurters NEW YORK (UPI) - Early Wynn and Sam Jones, two “pleasingly wild” right-handers who seem to improve with age, were named the major league pitchers of the year today by the United Press International. . Wynn, a 22-game winner for the Chicago White Sox, won the American League award with 23 of a possible 24 votes from the committee of experts representing every city in the league. The other vote went to Camilo Pascual who won 17 games for the Washihgton Senators. Receives 16 Votes Jones, who appeared in 50 games and had a 21-15 record for the San Francisco Giants, received 16 votes from the National League Committee. Elroy Face, the amazingly successful relief ace of the Pittsburgh Pirates, got six votes and Johnny Antonelli of the Giants aid Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves got one each. It was something of a year of vindication for both award winners — Wynn because he had experienced two straight losing seasons and Jones because he proved he could win under the pressure of a pennant race. Wynn, 39, of Hartford, Ala., was the steady hand of the White Sox staff all season. He had a 22-10 record and a 3.13 earned run average. With 271 victories he now is the biggest winner among active major league pitchers and seems to have a good chance to make the 306-club. Yet he started the season as a definite question mark after successive 14-7 and 14-16 seasons that seemed to indicate he was on the way down Jones Starter, Reliever Jones, 34, a native of Stewartsville, Ohio, doubled as a starter and reliever for the pitcher-thin Giants and wound up with a 2.89 earned run average. Down the stretch, the 6-foot, 4-inch, 215pound right-hander turned out to be the clutch pitcher of the San Francisco staff and on the final Saturday of the season pitched a seven-inning no-hitter that kept the Giants’ hopes alive for a few more hours. Pascual, a 25-year-old native of

Jr. High Reserves Close Out Season The junior high reserves closed out their season Tuesday night at Worthman field as the Colts downed the Rams by a 19-6 count, avenging last week’s 19-0 defeat. The Rams have Won three games and Coifs have won two, with tonight’s varsity Ram junior high team trying to add to the string, while the Colts will try to tie the series. Lenny Corral broke over his own right end from about one-yard out for the first Colt score and Bill Blythe rambled 30 yards untouched, skirting his right end after trying off tackle but finding the hole blocked. Both tries for points failed. Alan Kalver then sneaked across with a valuable assist from Bob Mies from two yards out for the second Colt score. It looked like Kalver may have been stopped when Mies came up from behind to jolt one tackler off Kalver and gently push him the second yard. Mies again got into the scoring picture on a neat 25-yard pass to Tom Mcßride for the third TD in the third quarter. Mies had passed to Mcßride from his own territory to set up the second and third touchdowns. The Rams intercepted a Mies pass late in the fourth quarter deep in their own territory and Blythe returned about 60 yards before Mies brought him down on the Colt 30. Three passes failed and the game ended. All junior high players will have their picture taken this evening at 5:15 o’clock by Bud Anspaugh, local photographer. The varsity junior high boys will then meet for the last session of the year. A bit of fun may be had as the first quarter of play will see the linemen playing the backfield positions and the backs up in the line. The coaches want one and the other to know just what it takes to play each other’s position, realizing what must be done to make a team click. , Havana, Cuba, suddenly developed this ' year into one of the American League's top pitchers. Face, who had a string of 22 consecutive victories over a two-year period, compiled an 18-1 record. Antonelli had a 19-10 mark and Burdette a 21-15 slate. High School Football New Haven 20.

Fort Wayne Central Wins Cross Country Fort Wayne Central repeated as sectional cross country champion Tuesday afternoon in the annual meet held at Franke park in Fort Wayne. Henry King, Central sophomore,* also repeated as individual champion, winning the event in 9:34.6. Central won the event with 47 points. New Haven was second with 60 points. Fort Wayne Nojth third with 97 and Fort Wayne South fourth with 135. All four of these schools will be entered in the IHSAA state meet to be run at Indianapolis Oct. 31. Only two Adams county schools competed, Adams Central finishing with 462 points and Monmouth finished with 477 points. None of the Adams county runners finished in the first 25 places. Eight sectional meets were held throughout the state Tuesday, with some 30 teams qualifying for the state finals. Included in the winners is Muncie Central, which won the team championship last year, and Charles Umbarger, of Elkhart, individual winner last year, won the South Bend sectional. Athletic's Owner Denies Move West WASHINGTON (UPI) — A financial adviser to Washington Senators owner Calvin Griffith has suggested that another American League club president will try to move his team to the West Coast in 1961. Attorney C. Leo Deorsey, a former director of the Washington club and Griffith’s adviser, made it clear that he was talking about Arnold Johnson, owner of the Kansas City Athletics. Deorsey made his statement in charging that American League club owners “buckled” under the threat of baseball anti-trust legislation and blocked Griffith’s attempt to move the Senators to Minneapolis. Johnson, contacted in New York City, immediately tried to knock down Deorsey’s intimation that he wanted to take the Athletics to the Pacific Coast “I’d have to pay rent in two stadiums,” he said “We’ve agreed to a renewal of our lease in Kansas City through 1964. I certainly touldn’t pay rent for two ballparks. “As baseball expands, it will have to be to large cities like New York and Los Angeles which can. support two clubs. But I’m not one of them.” Annual Farm Bureau Meeting Friday Night Tickets will be available at the door for farmers interested in attending the annual Farm Bureau meeting at Adams Central school Friday at 6:30 p.m. George Harvey, legislative con-' suitant of the Farm Bureau, will be the speaker.

Pro Leaders Are Favorites To Win Sunday By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Baltimore Colts, San Francisco Forty-Niners and New York Giants are favored to retain their grips on first place in three of Sunday’s National Football League features. The Colts are heavy, 13-point choices to whip the Green Bay Packers at Baltimore although they share the Western Division lead with the Packers and FortyNiners. The Forty-Niners entertain the Chicago Bears (1-3) and are slim, one-point favorites. The Western leaders have 3-1 records. The oddsmakers also made New York (3-1) a one-point choice to retain its one-game Eastern Division lead by defeating the Steelers at Pittsburgh. The Steelers Cleveland Browns. Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles <qaeh 2-2) are tied for second behsKl the Giants. Browns OWr Redskins f ?W cvcland P la y s ho st to the crippled Redskins and is a 94 point favorite. Philadelphia is favored over the Chicago Cardinals (1-3) at Minneapolis. The Cardinals scheduled two of their six home games at Minneapolis this year. They will play the Giants there Nov. 22 The Rams (2-2) are two-point choices to defeat the Detroit Lions (0-4) at Los Angeles in Sunday’s other game. Green Bay swept its games against the Bears, Lions and Forty-Niners but has been weakened by injuries and took a 45-6 whipping from the Rams last Sunday. The Colts .appeared sluggish in their early games but showed the form that carried them to the 1958 championship during last Sunday’s 21-7 triumph over the Bears. Ray Berry and Lenny Moore, two of Baltimore's top pass receivers, have recovered from injuries. * The Giants may spend a rugged afternoon at Forbes Field. The Steelers have been especially effective against the Giants at Pittsburgh. They were the only tarn that ran amok against the New York dfense in 1958, hammering out a 31-10 victory in Pittsburgh. 49ers WeD-Bala/wced San Francisco will throw a balanced club against the Bears. The Forty-Niners have scored 112 points, more than any other club. They have allowed 48, a defensive mark bettered only by the Browns, wo Wave allowed 41. The Redskins invade Cleveland with a club that fumbled seven times while dropping a 27-6 decision to Pittsburgh last Sunday. Coach Paul Brown appears to have developed another of the strong defensive units that have helped make his Browns so successful. But his offense has produced only 64 points in four games. The Cardinals may have a quarterback problem when they face the Eagles. King Hill and M. C Reynolds, the Cardinal sig-
