I'd be surprised If a bunt would work two
times out OF 10 against that combination,
whether they knew it was coming or not.

George said. ut takes good hitter to be
a good bunter.
Il want our hitters to be alive in bunt-

its toes. I want some guys who will swing
away. like the hit-and-run at times when
a bunt is in order"
A companion asked II hit-and-run

had a habit of snatching at
the ball at first. Vernon gave
him a crack at an outfield
job after Zipfel couldn't rid
himself of the habit.
Now that the inter-league
trading deadline has passed,
it is virtually certain that the
Senators will have the pleasure

Taylor Breaks
Two Records
For Scoring

NEW YORK, Dec. II (AP.-
Jim Taylor. the hard-hitting
fullback Of the Green Bay
Packers, succeeds teammate
Paul Hornung as the National
Football League scoring cham
pion. in a season that saw
three point-making marks fall.
Taylor collected ia points
on 10 touchdowns, q league
mark for touchdowns. and
edged Lou Michaels Of the
Pittsburgh Steelers who
amassed ITO points on 26 field
goals and 80 extra points.
Michael's mark is a league
record for kickers, replacing
the l08 points compiled by Lou
Groza Of the Cleveland Browns
in 1858. Actually, Michaels ran
over one Of his conversions
when the pass from center was
bobbled, but his 100 points is
still a kicking mark.
The 26 field goals kicked by
the big Steeler tackle was an
other record.
Jim Brown of Cleveland fin
ished with l08 points on 10
touchdowns for third spot. Don
Chandler. kicker Of the New
York Giants, was fourth with
l04 points on 10 field goals
and Al conversions-a New
York team scoring mark.
John David Grow OF the st.
Louis Cardinals was fifth with
l02 points on II touchdowns.
Hornung, who led the league
the last three years and set
the NIL scoring record in 1860
with l76 points, was down the
list with "A points. The Green
Bay halfback had the biggest
day Of the season, % points

Senators May Add
Nothing-BoII Pitcher

SPUD MURRAY THE BIG righthanded
pitcher who spent the entire 1862 season
with the Yankees without getting anybody
out, may have a counterpart on the SEN
ators next season.
George Selkirk is going to suggest to
Mickey Vernon that the Senators carry a
batting practice pitcher. While the deci-
sion will be Mickeys, somehow most man
ayers seem to carry out suggestions made
by general managers.
II the Senator's ease the unemploy-
ment problem among nothing-ball pitchers
who can get the ball over the plate, 1t will
eliminate one of the topics of conversation
around the batting cage.
There's an endless argument between
pitchers and hitters on whether the pitcher
should put something on the ball in batting
practice.
Even some Of the hitters side with the
pitchers, but next year there will not be
any difference Of opinion on the Washing
ion ball club. Orders from the head man
Wall be to get the ball over the plate and
save the sliders, knucklers and breaking
stuff for the game.
pAoNViSV 10 DEL

a pitcher can strike out the hitter. I had
enough OF that when was with the Yank-
ees. Alley Donald and Spud Chandler used
TO pitch batting practice like 1t was the
deciding game Of the World Series, includ-
ing roughing up the ball.
They lost me-" selkirk said. II
wouldn't take batting practice against
either of them"
sELKIRK ALSO Is GOING TO suggest
that the Senators spend considerable time
at Pompano Beach on defense against the
bunt.
There's not much excuse for a bunt
working" Selkirk said. Say we had Mary
Breeding at third base, Rogelio Alvarez at
first and a good fielding pitcher like Claude
osteen on the mound. I'd hate to see a
team work the bunt against US in an obv-
Gus bunting situation.
THE best I've seen against bunts we're

records, almost surely will get
a bid.
Pro Bowl officials wanted
definite word of Snead's avail
ability last night and DR.
George Resta recommended
against playing him, even
though it appears that Norman
may make a speedy recovery.
The doctor believes the risk of
a more serious injury would be
too great and that Snead
should rest four to six weeks.
Ties Baugh's Mark
The Deacon threw three
passes before leaving the pre-
mises. tying Sammy Baugh's
15-year-old club record Of 354
in one season. But his total
yardage Of 1925 in IA games
was IL short of Baugh's 1888
for a 12-game season in 1947.
When Snead left the game
the groans Of 34,508 throaty
fans suggested that the Red
skins hopes of closing the sea-
son with a victory went with
them. But Izo surprised them.
George hit Dick James with rs
and 49-yard touchdown passes,
and lobbed another q yards
to Bill Anderson in the closing
minutes. These pitches, added
to Bob Khayat's 33-yard field
goal in the first period, put
the Redskins another field goal
away from tying the Steelers,
runnerups in the Eastern divi-
sion.
Izo tried to unload a bomb
as the final seconds licked
away. He fired four passes in
the last 20, deliberately putting
one out Of bounds to stop the
clock after the Redskins time
outs we're exhausted. But the
Steelers, unworried about the
Redskins feeble running at
tack, had six to eight players

He was obtained in the trade
that sent Harry Bright to the
Reds.
Chuck Hinton, who was pre-
scented with a first baseman's
mitt last spring when Dale Long
was a holdout, probably will be
instructed to bring the mitt this
year. Ball players, Of course,
have to buy their own gloves,
but when Long continued to
hold out the Senators bought
a first baseman's mitt for Hin
ton.
Fails Two Trials
The club gave up on Zipfel,
who has no more options re-
naming. He didn't show much
in parts Of two seasons with
the Senators, hitting 200 in
1861 with "a hits in so games,
and .239 last year with A hits
in So games. Ten of the hits
were home runs
Zipfel's sale was fastened
when Coach George Case re-
ported that he showed "abso-
lutely nothing" in the nine
weeks Of the Florida Instruc-
tional League. Case, who man
aged the Senators club, said
Zipfel was one OF the major
disappointments of the season.
Manager Mickey Vernon
spent a week in Florida with
the Senator'S youngsters and
also reported that Zipfel did
not show any improvement.
Bought From Yanks
zipfel was purchased for
$4,000 in the expansion draft
and was impressive at times.
The big, handsome blond, 6
feet 3 and 200 pounds, had
been in the Yankee chain.
The Senators sent him to
Houston at the end of spring
training in 1861 and he hit .3l2,
with 81 homers among his 118
hits.
After playing SO games for
the Senators in 1861 he entered

squad expects to be rewarded
accordingly. However, the team
needed an assist from the
Giants. who trimmed Dallas, to
save fourth from the Cowboys.
Quarterback Norman Snead's
shoulder separation on the 10th
play Of game that began in
sunlight and ended under the
lights brought George Izo's
status into bold relief. With
Galen Hall out with a frac-
tured thumb, the former Notre
Damer, getting into his first
action this year, was the only
quarterback left.
Had Izo been injured, Doug
Elmore. a quarterback in col

utes' practice at the position

been next UP.
May be Traded
Izo's three touchdown per-

supporting cast, left no doubt
that he will not be satisfied
next year to pay third-string
