Mitchell Stars As Cleveland Whips Dallas * By NORMAN MILLER United Press International Boby Mitchell, who once nearly fumbled his way out of pro football, is latching on to teammate Jimmy Brown’s reputation as the National Football League’s most dangerous breakaway runner. And that’s a big reason why the Cleveland Browns own the ( only unbeaten-untied record in either the NFL or the American Football League. Mitchell, a habitual "fumble bug” when he broke into the league in 1958, was both surehanded and sure-footed Sunday when he led the Browns to a 48-7 romp over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught a short pass from Milt Plum and raced 46 yards for Cleveland’s first score, bolted 30 yirds from scrimmage for another, and ran back a kickoff 90 yards for a third TD. Those runs and four intercepted passes were more than enough to send the Cowboys down to their fourth straight defeat before approximately 28,500 fans at Dallas. Mitchell, who was overshadowed by bulldozing Jimmy Brown for the past two seasons, now has scored 7 touchdowns and averaged 7 yards in 35 carries during the Brown’s three triumphs. Cleveland took over the Eastern Division lead when the New York Giants were held to a 24-24 tie by the Washington Redskins in Sunday’s biggest surprise. The, Chicago Bears defeated the San Francisco Forty-niners, 2740, and shared the Western Division lead with the Baltimore Colts, who beat the Los Angeles Rams, 31-17. The Pittsburgh Steelers toppled the St. Louis Cardinals, 27-14, and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Detroit Lions, 28-10, in the other games. In the American Football Leauge, the Houston Oilers retained first Place in the Eastern Division with a 20-10 win over the Dallas Texans; the Los Angeles Chargers upset the Western Di-vision-leading Denver Broncos, 2319; the Oakland Raiders defeated the Boston Patriots, 27-14, and the New York Titans rallied to beat the Buffalo Bills, 17-13. |

SPORTS BULLETIN CHICAGO <nn> — National League today unanL mooaly granted franchises to New York City and Houston for IM2. i 11 League President Warren Giles said the franchise now could be granted to New York because the National League i has the assurance of Commissioner Ford Frick that he will “vote with ut?’ to open up New York for another team. Sam Snead Winner In West Virginia HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (UPI) — The man who wasn’t there won the West Virginia Open golf championship. ; That man was Sam Snead, who was so convinced that his final round 3-under-par 67 Sunday wasn’t good enough that he packed up and left an hour and a half before Art Wall Jr. came i in one stroke behind him. Snead’s 67 gave him a 15-under > par total of 195 for the 54 holes while Wall, who was tied with Snead after 36 holes, wound up with 196 after a final round 68 on the par 70 Spring Valley Country Club course. It was Snead’s ninth West Virginia Open title. “I was lousy,” said Snead after his last round while Wall and Arnold Palmer were still on the course. “I lost interest after that ninth hole.” It was there he took a bogey five. Snead flung his ball over a steep hill from the 18th green after finishing up. Upon learning Wall was two under par after 10 holes, the 48-year-old Snead departed for his home grounds at White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., figuring Wall would overtake him. Officials of the tournament were more than somewhat disturbed at Snead’s abrupt departure, especially so when he wasn’t around to accept his $1,200 first prize check from Gov. Cecil H. Underwood who helicoptered in for the ceremony. For Wall, it was a tough pill to take. He appeared to have an excellent chance of overhauling Snead with eight holes to go and only one stroke behind — but he was unable to bag a single birdie on those final eight.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, WDXAIIA

Club House Chatter Caster Wins Tourney 16-year-old Thane Custer walked off with top honors in the 18-hole fall handicap tourney at the Decatur Golf course Sunday. Custer shot a gross score of 82, and with his handicap had a low net score of 66 to win first prize, a 1960 bag boy cart. In second place, one stroke back, were Earl and Wm. Mcßride with net scores of 67. AU alone in fourth place with a 68 was Ray Monew. Three golfers tied for fifth with 695, Tom Haubold, Merle Affolder and Bill Sprtnger. The above winners also received merchandise awards. John Bauman won low gross with a fine 73 on nine of 34-39, and was rewarded with a nylon windbreaker. A total of 41 golfers participated, a fine turnout. Plans are being made to hold several of these tourneys through the 1961 season. Bill Casper Takes Orange County Open COSTA MESA, Calif. (UPI) — “Gone fishin’.” That was the sign posted today by Bill Casper Jr., the relaxed golfer who picked up $2,000 Sunday in winning the Orange County Open, his third consecutive victory on the pro tournament traU. The 29-year-old Casper, a rotund fellow who lugs 220 pounds around the golf course on a 5-foot-ll frame, had a 72-hole total here of 276—eight under par—on the Mesa Verde Country Club course. He had a final round 69, two under par. Casper, in a four-way tie at 208 after three rounds, could have been beaten at the last moment by Charles Sifford, the Los Angeles National Negro Open champion, who was playing a final threesome behind Casper. The cigar smoking Sifford needed a birdie two on the 18th hole to tie the Apple Valley, Calif., shotmaker. But Sifford missed by six inches a 30-foot birdie putt which would have thrown him into a tie and a sudden death playoff. Casper said he did not feel any strain while waiting for Sifford to hole out. “I’m always completely relaxed,” he said, almost affronted' by -the question from a sports- , writer. MKien asked whaChU -formula Twas—winning the Portland, Oreu, land Hesperia, Calif., Opens just ■ before this—he said, “I’ve just been playing well I’ve been hitting the greens pretty good.” Casper, whose home is in Chula Vista, Calif., although he represents Apple Valley, Calif., said he was going fishing in the Pacific with some friends for yellowtail. He goes fishing frequently between tournaments to relax. In third place behind Sifford and Casper Was the defending Orange County champion, Jay Hebert, Lafayette, Ind. Indiana Guard Is Done For Season BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI) — Indiana’s football club has lost starting guard Bob Vecchio for the remainder of the season due to a broken wrist. Vecchio, a 195-pound junior from East Cleveland, Ohio, sustained the injury in the first half against Marquette Saturday. Young Father Found Slain On Doorstep HAMMOND, Ind. (UPl(—Hammond police sought today to retrace tiie final hours in the life of a young father slain on his own doorstep with six shots from a pistol. Fred E.» Taylor, 23, father of two children 5 and 3, worked at a Hammond factory, and on pay day he customarily stopped at several nearby taverns over the line in Calumet City, 111. Hammond police said that is what he did last Friday evening when he drew his $124 paycheck and started for home. Detectives retraced his route from one tavern to another up to 4:30 a.m. Saturday. At that time he was still alone and had drunk enough that at least one bartender refused to sell him more. But apparently Taylor still was sober enough to walk home, and he still had SB3 of his pay left. At 6do a.m., his wife, Mary Catherine, roused from sleep. So did a neighbor in another apartment. Both later told police they heard voices, one of which was Taylor’s. Then there was a sound like a firecracker, and after a silence, five more. A figure, which the witnesses thought was that of a man, disappeared. Police said that when the first shot was fired, Taylor apsmall weapon held by his slayer. Two of the other shots appeared to have been fired while he was standing and the other three into his back after he fell.

Paul Richards Named Manager Os The Year NEW YORK (UPI) — Paul Richards, whose Baltimore Orioles electrified the baseball world with a spectacular bid for the pennant, today was named the American League’s “manager of the yeari’ for 1960 by the United Press International. Richards received 14 votes of a possible 24 from UPl’s board of baseball experts, made up of writers in each of the eight American League cities. Cookie Lavagetto, who led the Washington Senators to a fifth place finish, was runnerup to Richards in the balloting with ■even votes, while Casey Stengel of the pennant-winning New York Yankees received three votes. Under Richards' leadership, the Orioles wound up in second place with an 89-65 record for their highest finish since returning to the American League in 1954. The 51-year-old Richards had the Orioles in first place as late as Sept. 9. Richards, generally regarded the finest handler of pitchers in the game, has been managing in the majors 10 years. He piloted the Chicago White Sox from 1951 through 1954, leading them to fourth place on his first try and

Sardella and Larry Walchle have been in Michigan since the opening day of the season, October 1. This is his second in two years, as he nailed a deer last season.

Indianapolis Times Favors Matt Welsh INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —The Indianapolis Times, a ScrippsHoward newspaper, Sunday recommended Democratic gubernatorial nominee Matthew Welsh over Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker as “best qualified to lead Indiana for the next four years.** The Times editorially endorsed Welsh “on the basis of training, experience and attitude’’ and said he is the best candidate “to voters who believe in the future of

Indiana.” “The big difference between the two candidates is the way they approach the challenge of the governor’s post,” the editorial said. “One looks back, the other looks ahead.” In 1956, The Times endorsed Republican Harold W. Handley, who won. In 1952, the Times endorsed Democrat Lt. Gov. John A. Watkins, who lost. Lipstick Stains Lipstick stains can be removed from white linens by soaking the cloth in strong vinegar.
