Early Wynn Os Sox Signed To Pay Increase . By MILTON RICHMAN United Fraas laterasUenal Early Wynn. 40-year-old ace of the White Box, laughingly said today he'd like to keep pitching until he's 50 and added—■minus any smile at all—he'll be shooting to win X) games again in '6O Wynn made the statements from Mercy Hospital in Chicago where he is undergoing an annual checkup and where he signed hi* new White Sox contract Wednesday which calls tor an estimated $45.000 “Maybe I can keep going as long as Satchel Paige,” grinned th* burly right-hander, who won 22 games last year and was rewarded for it with “a good raise." Has Sights On Recent Wynn, with 271 major league victories to his credit already, would like nothing better than to surpass Lefty Grove's 300 lifetime victories. Grove was the only pitcher to reach that total during the lively ball era From his home in Dallas. Mickey Mantle said the Yankees cut his salary “too much” and he had sent his contract back unsigned. Mantle didn’t disclose any figures but it was believed he was asked to take an SII,OOO slice from his $78,000 salary of last season. Red Schoendienst also revealed he had returned his contract to the BraVes without signing it. „ The veteran second baseman took the maximum 25 per cent cut last vear before undergoing surgery for tuberculosis and apparently is being asked to accept another cut now. Neither he nor General, Manager Johnny McHale "anticipate any- major problem,” however. Three Cubs To Go The Chicago Cubs, bidding to become the first club with all its players signed, announced they have only three more left to go with the acceptance of terms by pitchers Steve Ridzik and Al Schroll. Only Cub players still unsigned are pitcher Art Ceccarelli, catcher Cal Neeman and infielder Harry Bright. ' 1 Don (Perfect Game) Larsen, recently traded by the to the Athletics, signed his Kansas City contract with no haggling whatsoever and first baseman Vic Wertz said he has come to terms with the Red Sox. The Dodgers signed catcher John Roseboro and veteran outfielder Carl Furillo. Roseboro probably was given a raise and Furillo was believed to have accepted a slight cut.

I I — — ; Robinson To : Defend Title : Friday Night BOSTON <UPD—PauI Pender, the rangy dark-haired Irish chal- * lenger from suburban Brookline, said today he expects to give 1 Sugar Ray Robinson “a boxing lesson” Friday night and take ' what's left of his middleweight 1 crown. Pender. 29—at least nine years younger than Robinson—explained 1 in the press room at the Hotel ' Kenmore: "I’ll beat the old man with speedy in-and-out tactics like Billy Conn used when he was light heavyweight champion.'' [I The challenger with the broken sway-backed nose said he was confident he could outpoint Sugar Ray in their scheduled 15-rounder ' at Boston Garden. Sugar Ray is recognized as champion by the New York and Massachusetts commissions. The NBA withdrew recognition because his last defense was made 22 months ago. - Pender added: “And if RobinIson dares to try to knock me out in an early round, as he's promised. I’ll probably stop him within 12. rounds. If he starts fast, he’ll run out of gas in a hurry. He couldn't knock out Rocky Castellan! five years ago. And lie’ll find me just as fast as Castellani and a much harder hitter. Even Castellani had Robinson on the deck." ~ Promoter Sam Silverman said the advance sale approached 000, indicating a gate of $125,000 and a' crowd of 12,000. Tickets range from $5 to S2O for the na4ttonally televised and broadcast (NBC) fight. There 11 be a TV blackout on a 100-mile radius. Robinson is favored at odds hovering around 5-1, but there s practically no betting.

Don Kellett Os Baltimore May I Head Pro Loop MIAMI BEACH, Fla (UPI) — I Don Kellett. 30 year-old general manager of the Baltimore Colts. I gained support today among 'strife • torn National Football League owners as Ute cuuiprv- j mise candidate tor the job of commissioner The It club owners resumed their controversial election meet ' tag this afternoon after conduct tag eight fruitless ballots in an effort to select a successor to I the late Bert Bell The owners finally adjourned their deliberations at 11 22 p.m. e.s.t. At one stage of the voting. Marshall Leahy. 4s-year-«.ld San Francisco Forty-Niners attorney. I was within one vote of the nc- 1 ceesary nine needed tor election i to the 860.000-year job. Retuse Split But a stubborn bloc of four owners, objecting principally to the transfer of the league office to San Francisco, refused to split their ranks and give Leahy the I one additional vote he required for election. The four holdout owners were: George Preston Marshall of the Washington Redskins. Carroll Rosenbloom of the Baltimore Colts, i Frank McNamee of the PhilaIdelphia Eagles and Goorge Halas of the Chicago Bears. ’ By the eighth ballot, Marshall. Rosenbeloom, McNamee and Art Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers had switched their support to Kellett. Gunsel Fades Away Biglest surprise of the afternoon and evening meetings was the complete fadeout from contention of Austin Gunsel, the 50-year-old former FBI man who has been acting commissioner since Bell’s death last Oct. 11. Gunsel. who had six supporters when the election began, had none on the night’s final ballot. , So confused was the contention for the commissioner’s job, however. that one owner commented after the wearisome meetings: "don't be surprised if Gunsel is elected tomorrow.” J 1 . *-?•' I Monroe Rifle Club Selects Officers The Monroe, rifle, pistol and conservation club met recently to elect new officers.
