Giants Wallop Browns To Win Eastern Title By EARL WRIGHT United Press International Warning to the Baltimore Colts and other interested parties: The New York Giants are tough—but avoid their fans at all cost. The Giants clinched the National Football League’s Eastern Division title Sunday for the second straight year when they clobbered the Browns, 48-7. The Giants almost blew the Browns out of Yankee Stadium and their fans completed the job. Hundreds swarmed on the field with less than two minutes to go, sending Coach Paul Brown and his Browns scurrying to the locket; room for protection. While Coach Jim Lee Howell's Giants wondered if the officials might forfeit the game to Cleveland, the fans tore down one set of goal posts and. were working on the other when special police details restored order 20 minutes later. “I never gave a thought to asking that the game be forfeited,” Brown said after his men returned to the field and finished out the second worst defeat in their history. "I just left the field to keep from getting beat up and my kids followed me. My players had the right to protect themselves. That’s a league rule.’’ .. Colts Clinch Tie Baltimore, victor over New York at Yankee Stadium last year in the league's first overtime championship game, clinched at least a tie for the Western title Saturday by downing the FortyNiners at San Francisco. 34-14. John Unitas passed for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead Baltimore to its first victory at San Francisco in 12 games in two leagues. If the Colts defeat or tie the Rams Saturday at Los Angeles, they’ll qualify to play host to the Giants in the championship game Dec. 27. Then the Colts, who also showed some high-octane fans in New York when they won the 1958 championships, can start preparing for the invasion of the Giants and their rambunctious rootersThe Chicago Bears, with Rick Casares plunging for four touchdowns. kept their slim Western hopes alive Sunday by downing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-21.

(UPD— Minnie Minoso came back to the White Sox today and promptly made them the No. 1 choice to win the pennant again among a majority of baseball men. Minoso was one of 11 players traded within a matter of minutes Sunday night when the White Sox completed a seven-man deal with the Indians and then, while both clubs still were congratulating themselves, the Reds and Cubs followed with a four-man swap revolving around big Frank ThomasHere’s how the flurry wound up: The White Sox got back Minoso, their old leftfielder whom they traded to Cleveland two years ago, plus catcher Dick Brown and lefthanded pitchers Don Ferrarese and Jack Striker in exchange for third baseman-outfielder Bubba Phillips, catcher John Romano and first bas em a n-outflelder Norm Cash. Thomas To Cubs Cincinnati sent Thomas to the Cubs for southpaw reliever Bill Henry and outfielders Lee Walls and Lou Jackson. The deal for the 37-year-old ' Minoso caused some eybrow lifting among those who recalled the • White Sox let him go to the Indians for Early Wynn and Al Smith on Dec. 4, 1957, because I they felt he was “slowing up.” “If Minoso has slowed up. I'll . take a half-dozen like him," commented Baltimore Manager Paul . Richards. “Last year, the White Sox had only two-thirds of an outfield: With Minoso they now have ’ a complete one. They’ve added dash and they’ve added spirit, and I congratulate them.” Had Disappointing Year Key man in the deal between the Reds and Cubs was the 30-year-old Thomas, who went to Cincinnati last winter in a sevenman trade with Pittsburgh. Thomas, who played first, third and the outfield for the Reds, was a tremendous disappointment, batting only .225 while driving in 47 runs and hitting 12 homers. “We made the deal only because we were desperate for relief pitching,” said Cincy GM Gabe Paul, "Henry could be a lifesaver for us. He had a 9-8 record with the Cubs and pitched some fine ball for them." t Railroad Man Dies In Fall Under Train PRINCETON, Ind. (UPD—Dennis L. Belk, 50, Princeton, assistant division engineer of the Southern Railway, died Saturday of injuries received when he fell under a train near Mount Vernon, 111. Belk died at Mount Vernon without regaining consciousness a day after he lost both legs under the wheels of a slow-moving diesel unit.
