University Daily Kansan SPORTS Wynn and Larsen Sign 1960 Pacts
By United Press International
Early Wynn, 40-year-old ace on the White Sox, 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 20 again in '60.
Wynn made the statements from Mercy Hospital in Chicago where he is undergoing an annual check-up and where he signed his new White Sox contract yesterday which calls for an estimated $45,000.
"Maybe I can keep going as long as Satehel Paige." grinned the burly right-hander, who won 22 games last year and was rewarded for it with "a good raise."
Wants 300 Victories
Wynn, with 271 major league victories to his credit already, would like nothing better than to surpass Lefty Grove's 300 lifetime victories.
Wynn's signing was a relatively easy matter yesterday.
"Bill Veeck came up to see me," he said. "We gassed about a lot of things for a while and then talked contract. How long did it take for us to come to terms? Less than 10 minutes."
Wants More Money
The Yankees won't have things quite that easy with Mickey Mantle.
From his home in Dallas, Mantle said the Yanks 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 $11,000
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 year 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.
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.
Don Larsen, recently traded by the Yankees 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 John Roseboro and veteran outfielder Carl Furillo. Roseboro probably was given a raise and Furillo was believed to have accepted a slight cut.
Peter Ohlin, Stockholm, Sweden graduate, won the J. R. Pearson ping-pong tournament in a playoff this week.

Ohlin defeated Leo Salters, Prairie Village senior, for the championship. The winner was presented a gold loving cup.
Colts Manager May Get NFL Commissioner's Job
Halas, who at first had voted with the anti-Leahy bloe, abstained from voting on several ballots, including the final one taken last night.
By the eighth ballot, Marshall,
Rosenbloom, McNamee and Art
Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers
had switched their support to
Kellett.
Gunsel Fades Out
Biggest surprise of the afternoon and evening meetings was the complete fadeout from contention of Austin Gunsel, the 50-
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.—(UPI)—Don Kellett, 50-year-old general manager of the Baltimore Colts, gained support today among strife-torn National Football League owners as the compromise candidate for the job of commissioner.
The 12 club owners resumed their controversial election meeting today after conducting eight fruitless ballots in an effort to select a successor to the late Bert Bell.
Within One Vote
At one stage of the voting, Marshall Leahy, 49-year-old San Francisco Forty-Niners attorney, was within one vote of the necessary nine needed for election to the $60,000-a-year job.
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 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, Frank McNamee of the Philadelphia Eagles and George Halas of the Chicago Bears.
year-old former FBI man who has been acting commissioner since Bell's death last October. 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."
Kellett, former three- sports star and later basketball coach and athletic director at the University of Pennsylvania, is credited with a major role in building the Colts from NFL doormats to NFL champions.
He collapsed following the Colts' NFL championship victory over the New York Giants last month and currently is recuperating in Florida.
Kellett, a native of Brooklyn who in 1934 had a nine-game trial with the Boston Redsox, is regarded as a forceful, able administrator. In addition to playing basketball and baseball at Penn, he was a half-back on the football team.
Two Other Candidates
Besides Leahy, Gunsel and Kellett, the only other candidates considered were Paul Schissler, 65-year-old former NFL coach who now is director of special events for the Los Angeles Times, and Edwin Anderson, president

of the Detroit Lions. Both were offered as compromise candidates after it became apparent that neither Leahy nor Gunsel could attract the required nine votes. Neither Schissler nor Anderson received much support.
The name of Joe Donoghue, 64-year-old executive vice-president of the Eagles and assistant treasurer of the NFL, also was brought up, but he refused a formal nomination. Donoghue presided over the meeting.
A Possible Fill-In
There was speculation that if the owners could not agree upon a commissioner, Donoghue might be given the job as a one-year fill-in.
While Leahy had the support of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Green Bay and Chicago Cardinals owners throughout most of the balloting, and later from Pittsburgh's Pooney, the Eastern bloc held out against him.
