Not us.
That brings us back to the

Sherman's sentiments were

Undoubtedly the biggest
shock of the season is the COL
lapse Of the Chicago Bears
who were picked by many eX-
perts to win the Western Divi-
sion. They looked good in their
exhibition game against the
Redskins because George Halas
used nine and 10 men to rush
the pasSer, but some critics
thought they played over their
heads.

their second game the Chi

They've dropped a couple OF
heart-breakers, a bad omen,

take to underestimate the
Bears. for they still may play

1t seems fair to say that they
were oyerestimated In the pre-

It's ironic, too, that the
neighboring Cardinals boast a
similar IA record, If boast is
the word. No seasoned observer

three ring circus offense seri-
ously before the start Of the

Shaw Picked
AS AL S Best
Soph Of Year

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 (AP) -
Bob Shaw, the physical culture
addict who won IS games for
the pennant-winring White
Sox, today was named Ameri-
can League sophomore Of the
year by a healthy margin.
Shaw drew 1872 votes of the
ITO cast by members Of the
Baseball Writers Association
in the annual Associated Press
poll. He is a 6-foot-2 1907
pound righthander who thrives
on vitamins and exercise. Milt
Pappas of Baltimore, another
righthanded pitcher, was a dis
tant second. He was named on
"a ballots.
Shaw, 26, was one of the big
surprises of 1859. He was, in
fact, so lightly regarded by
Manager AL Lopez that he did
not get his first start until the
season was more than a month
old. He shut out the Red Sox,
40, in his initial start on May
10 and thereafter received reg
ular assignments, losing only
six games and compiling a 2.65
earned-run average.
Until the past season, the
Garden City. N. Y, resident
never had won more than 10
games in organized ball. He
began his pro career in 1858
with Jamestown, N. Y. of the
class D Pony League after the
Detroit Tigers had picked him
for a $1,000 bonus.
On June Is, 1858, the Tigers
traded him to the White Sox
with Ray Boone for Tito Fran
coma and Bill Fischer. He won
five games and lost four in
1858.
sPappas won IS games and
lost 9 for the sixth-place
Orioles. He hurled is complete
games in 26 starts and had
four shutoutS. Milt walked rs
and struck out 100 in 209h
innings. His ERA was 3.27.
Others receiving considera-
ton for sophomore honors
were Jim Grant of Cleveland
and Barry Latman of the
White Sox, 3 votes each; Ryne
Duren of New York, 2, and
Gary Geiger and Bill Monbou-
quette of Boston, Jim Lands
of Chicago, Albie Pearson, who
played for Washington and
Baltimore. and Gary Bell of

rug-don't punish Junior, and
don't punish the rug either. Just
remove Junior and the stain
right away.
The success of stain remov-
ing depends on which remover
you choose and how you put it
on, home demonstration agent
Florence Y. Smith says. An eye
dropper curbs that often disas-
trous pour it on" instinct-just
a few drops will do. Sponge
from the outer edge of the spot
toward the center with a white,
Iunstarched cloth, leave for
about Is minutes, and then blot.
The National Institute of Dry
Cleaners recommends two home
formulas for removing stains on
rugs.
Formula l: One teaspoon of
neutral soapless detergent mix
ed with one cup of lukewarm
water. Use this for fruit stains,
ice cream and milk desserts, al
cohol, coffee, tea, and soft drink
stains.
Formula 2: One teaspoon OF
white vinegar and three tea
spoons of lukewarm water. This
one is a followup if any stain
remains after the first-as in
the case of egg and gelatin
spots.
For butter and other fats, use
dry cleaning fluid.
Remember, Mrs. Smith warns,
too much formula soaked into
the rug and backing may result
| in brown stains, and too much
dry cleaning fluid may deterior-
ate the latex backing of many
rugs.
Except when dry cleaning
fluid is used, moisture will be
left in the rug. Dry the rug by
absorbing the moisture into sew
eral thicknesses of paper tow
mel, tissue, or clothing held in
place with flat weights.
Never experiment on stains
with other than recommended
methods or you and Junior will
be permanently reminded OF
wayward ice cream cones.
