By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The next time the National Foot
ball League teams go on the field
it will be for keeps.
The 37-game exhibition sched
ule was completed over the week
end, with Detroit, Philadelphia
Green Bay, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Baltimore and Chicago
winning their final tuneup games
And it may be sheer coincidence
that six of these victors were in
the Western Conference last sea
son.
Only two teams escaped un
scathed during the long pre-sca-son
schedule The league cham
pion Philadelphia Eagles and
Green Bay, the 1960 western divi
sion champions.
Green Bay won its fourth in a
row Saturday night, exploding for
17 points in the third quarter to
defeat the Washington Redskins
31-24. The Eagles romped over the
St. Louis Cardinals the same night
27-0.
It was the Redskins' fifth
straight loss, matching the pre
season record of the new Minneso
ta Vikings. The Minnesota entry
was a victim of its own mistakes
in dropping a 21-17 verdict to the
Los Angeles Rams Sunday.
The most impressive individual
showing in the final games was
that of Johnny Unitas of Balti
more, who fired five touchdown
passes as the Colts overwhelmed
the New York Giants 49-20 Sunday
at New Haven, Conn. Adding to
the Giants' woes was the possibil
ity their veteran quarterback,
; Charlie Connerly, may. have suf
fered a Fractured nose early in ihe'
game.
The Cleveland Browns, runner
up in the Eastern Conference last
season, bowed to the Detroit Lions
Saturday for the second time,
35-17. The Detroit defense held the
Browns' running attack to zero net
yards in the first half. The Lions
beat the Browns a month ago 35-7.
Quarterback Sonny Jurgensen
continued to shine for the cham
pion Eagles as he passed for two
touchdowns to veteran Tommy
McDonald. The Eagles s h p w e d
their usual rugged defense, con
taining the Cardinal ground game
and bottling up passers Charlie
Johnson and Sam Etcheverry.
Quarterback Bill Kilmer ran
and passed like a veteran as the
San Francisco 49ers romped over
the Dallas Cowboys Saturday
night 24-7. The Cowboys were out
played throughout.
The Chicago Bears eked out a
24-21 victory over the Pittsburgh
Steelers Friday night to bring
their pre-season record to 3-2. It
was Pittsburgh's third loss in five
starts.

Sprinkle a little pitching they
can't hit at 'em and win more
than your share of the close ones.
This has been philosophy of base
ball experts for carving penna.it
winners for many vears.
It's true the Cincinnati Reds
haven't yet nailed down the Na
tional League flag, but today
they've got a big foot in the door,
boasting a four-game lead. There's
every indication that somewhere
along the line Manager Fred
Hutchinson has convinced his
troops of this age-old philosophy.
Take Sunday, for example. The
Reds completed the sweep of a
three-game set with the St. Louis
Cardinals. They threw a little
pitching at 'em. Bob Purkey held
the Redbirds to two singles, and
Wally Post contributed a three-
un homer, his 18th, and the Reds
had a 5-2 victory.
During the Reds first two tills
with the Cards. Cincinnati won
extra-inning thrillers, the 30th and
31th one-run triumphs scored by
the Reds.
The Reds' weekend mastery
over St. Louis, coupled with San
rranciscos three-game sweep
Heat's On Yank Sluggers
over second-place Los Angeles,
had the rest of the league mum
bling "it's all over but the shout
ing."
For Sa:OFrancisco, the weekend
topped oft by Sunday's 7-1 victory,
brought sweet revenge. Two years
ago. the Giants appeared headed
foitthe NL pennant. The Dodgers
struck them down in the season's
dying days and went on to wi,i
the title and the World Series.
Elsewhere in the NL, third
place Milwaukee kept its faint
pennant hopes alive by edging the
Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Warren
Spahn s pitching, and the Phila
delphia Phillies exploded for 13
runs in two innings to conquer the
unicago ugos
Reds 5, Cards 2
Purkey won his lfith game
against 10 defeats jn conquering
the Cardinals. He didn't allow a
hit until the sixth when Julian
Javier and Bill White singled.
The Cards tied the count at 2-2
that inning but the Reds came
right back with three tallies. Vada
Pinson doubled and Frank Robin
son singled and Post drove them
in with his big blast.

Memo to Roger Maris: home stand.
The heat is really on now, fella.
If you're going to break Babe
Ruth's 1927 home run record,
you'll have to increase the fre
quency of your over-the-fence
blasts. The pace you've set so far
won't get the job done not quite.
The cold figures are these,
Rog: So far, you've played in 144
New York Yankee team decisions,
10 fewer than the Bambino need
ed to set his record of 60. You ve
been at bat officially 527 times
with 56 homers, this means
you've hit on the average of one
every 9.41 times at bats.
Commissioner Ford Frick has
ruled that he'll consider the rec
ord Broken otticiallv only H vou
come up wih 61 in 154 team de-
cisons, the same that Ruth re
quired for his 60 homers. You've
got 10 games to go and approx
innately 40 times at bats.
It's fairly safe to say they'll
walk you at least once every four
times, leaving only 30 times you'll
get to aim for the fence. Needing
five more homers, you've thus got
to come up with one on an aver
age of every six official appearances.
It was downright rude of those
Cleveland Indians Sunday not to
give up at least one more homer
toward your goal especially since
it was your 27th birthday and es
pecially since you and vour Yan
kee teammates swept both ends
of a doublcheader from the Tribe
7-6 and 9-3.

But as Darlene pointed out with
a big grin: "I don't think I could
pass the physical to play on the

hoped the title would give the Aus

him as a singles player.

MONZA, Italy (AP)-A shocking
new outcry arose today for a limit
or ban on automobile racing after
a tragic Sunday in which world
famous Baron Wolfgang Von Trips
and 12 spectators were killed and
25 injured.
Von Trips, a handsome German
and leading contender for the 1961
world drivers' championships, was
mashed to death beneath his red
Ferrari on the second lap of the
Grand Prix of Italy race. ,
The veering car rocketed
through a guardrail at over 100
miles an hour and plowed into
spectators jammed elbow to elbow.
Other racers continued to roar
around the super-speed track for
two hours past the crumpled dead,
sprawled at the trackside and cov
ered with newspapers. Ambulanc

The toll was greater than the
accident in 1957 which doomed the
Mille Miglia, long Italy's great
and often blood-stained open road
race. In that accident, the Spanish
Marquis de Portago's car plowed
