The Cleveland Browns, with Otto Graham throwing to Marion Motley, originally perfected the screen and later introduced such refinements as a double sereen, the quarterback having an option to throw to either side of the Dick Selma If he loses his temper with "24 Y.

But hestill carries a flaky reputation from his stay in Chicago last year. One reason was the time when, with runners on first and second, two out and a three-and-two counton a hitter, he stretched and threw to third base. The play caught everyone, including Cub third baseman Ron Santo, by surprise. The ball skipped past the base. Another flake in the reputation came from the cheerleading he did tor Wrigley Field's Bleacher Bums whenever he was in the bullpen. The surprise throwto third makes sense, the way Selma fellsit. “In that situation, the runners are going to be off with the pitch, right?” he said. “Why not throw to third?” Selma basks in the courage of his convictions, backed up by membershipin a generation not knownfor standing in awe ofits elders. He didn’t hesitate, for example, to suggestto Phillies’ manager Krank Lucchesi that after the All-Star game the team could get some extra rest by skipping batting practice before day games when they had played the previous night. Lucchesi told him it was a night games. They were also still in fifth place in the Eastern Division.

Rating: Brazil Boasts of Huge Stadiums RIO DE JANEIRO (UPI)— Brazil boasts not only the best soccer teams in the world but also the biggest stadiums, It’s the only country to win the world soccer championship three times and soccer fever always is high, but Brazil has the stands to hold the fans. The giant, 20-year-old Maracana Stadium is unequalled size, holding 200,000 persons. It is so big nobody needs reservations. Maracana never fills up. If a Carioca (Rio resident) can make it through the downtown traffic in time, he’s as good as in even after the starting whistle blows. But Maracanais notthe only huge soccer bowl. If all the big stadiums werefilled at the same time, there would be more than a million Brazilians watching soccer atae field simultaneously. This ty the more than one per an nation’s population. ‘Thereis LizoneCity that has a soccer stadium larger than the town itself. Erexim, in Rio Grande Do Sul State wit.. 40,000 inhabitants, has a soccer stadium which holds 45,000 persons, That means that on a capacity crowd football day Erexim would become a ghost town—for a couple of hours anyway. , Second only to the gigantic Maracana is the Morumbi Stadium of Sao Paulo, which holds 160,000 persons. Unlike Maracana, which is owned by the Guanabara State government, Morumbi was built with private funds. It belongs to the Sao Paulo Soccer Club, one of the standard hig-time Brazilian football powers. Third in size is the Minerao Stadium of Belo Horizonte. Built by the state, it holds 135,000. Fourth is Beira Ric Stadium of Porto Allegre which holds 130,000 and is owned by the International Soccer Club. Frontier settlers in the Amazon may undergo many hardships of living in the remote tropical region, but they are not going to give up soccer. The Amazon River port of Manaus has a stadium called the Tartarugao (Big Turtle) that holds 100,000. In Brazil’s poor northeast, the city of Maceio has a stadium called the Trapichao and Salvador has its soccer grandstandcalled the Fonte Nova. Both of these semtltieotins hold 100,000 perArion the stadium “small fry” is the old Pr~:embu of Sao Paulo, which hors 80,000. In the Paranastate capital of Curitiba, the newly enlarged Belfort Duarte also holds 80,000. In the western state of Mato Grosso, the Morenao Stadium holds 60,000, as does the Batistao of Eastern Sergipe State. Getulio Vargas Stadium in the northeaster city of Fortaleza can take up to 50,000. Brazil's soccer stadiums don’t always have the names town fathers wanted them to have The stadium ‘“Maracana,”’ for instance, was named by the press after a small river nearby. The city government officially named the stadium after the mayor who inaugurated it, Mayor Marechal Mendes de Morais, cariocas ignored the official title and continued to call Maracana “Maracana”’. Thecity finally had to go along. But the town fathers never learned their lesson. Three years ago they tried to name the stadium after Mario Rodrigues Filho, publisher of the newspaper Jornal Dos Sports. Again, Cariocas simply continued to use the word “Maracana” and that’s what it is still named on city maps. The same thing happened with Minerao Stadium in Belo Horizonte, which was originally christened “Estadio Magal- haess Pinto,” after the governor. The people kept on calling it Minerao and that was the namethat stuck, Jim Osborne Wins $2,000 PHOENIX (UPI) — Jim Osborne, former tennis ace at University of Utah, was $2,000 Ticher today foliowing his second plece finish in the Thunderbird Tennis Open here Sunday.
