NEW YORK (AP) — Herb El- liott, 20-year~old Australian who broke the four - minute barrier 10 times and set a world mark of 3:545 for the mile run, Tues~ day was named the outstanding male athlete of the yearfor 1958 in the annual Associated Press year-end poll. ' ,

Elliott won by a substantial margin over Jimmy Brown, star halfback of Cleveland Browns of the National Football L e a g u e. Pitcher Bob Turle: of New York Yankees, a ill-game season win- ner and world series hero, was a distant third.

It was only the second time in the 28-year-old history of the poll of sports writers and broadcasters that the award went to a foreign athlete. Gundar Haegg, Sweden’s great runner, was the 1948 win-

So what was to happen now? ' g

WELL. NO LEAGUE meeting has since been called but we know that Summerside has a proposal to make to the Welshmen. They want the Spy Ready coached boys to make two trips to 'Summerside but they will settle for two (Saturday afternoon games. This would enable the collegians to be back in Char—

We haven’t heard the Welshmen's reaction to this proposal but we do feel that Summerside is doing all it can to cooperate We are confident that an agreement will be reached and that the league will operate without too many hitches from here on.

Let‘s hope so.

As WAS EXPECTED. Milwaukee's pitching star, Warren Spahn, ran away with many of the National League's important

pitching honors.

Warren's 22 victories tied him for most games won with Pittsburgh’s Bob Friend. He also was tied with teammate Lew

Israeli-UAR Jet Fighters Join Battle

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) —- Is- raeli fighters fought a blazing air battle with eight United Arab Re- public MiG-17s over Israel‘s soil Saturday and one of the intrud. ers was shot down, the‘Israeli army said.

The battle was joined around noon when the Soviet-made jets flew 25 miles inside Israel air space over the Negev desert from the U.A.R.‘s Sinai peninsula, the announcement said.

(Cairo Radio said “four Israeli fighters violated the U.A.R. air space in the El Arish area (of the Sinai desert) and our fighter planes intercepted and battled with them, forcing them to flee." The broadcast said nothing about losses on either side.

(Cairo reports said Egyptian observers tend to regard the air battle as an lshlated incident to underline the fact that the Pales- tineicrisis still can explode at any time. In the past, trouble on the Israeli-Egyptian frontier was usually confined to ground a‘ction between patrols on one side and commandos or infilatratons on the other.)

The Israeli fighters presumably were jets. The Israeli Air Force has some Mystere jets bought from France. Their performance is comparable to that of the MiG- l’l'. '
