Lipscomb barred from pro basketball by NFL chief
Baltimore Colts star Gene Lipscomb was barred from joining the Baltimore Bullets of the Eastern Professional Basketball League by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle over gambling allegations. The Bullets canceled Lipscomb's planned debut as snow halted the game against Williamsport. Meanwhile, the U.S. Auto Club sanctioned a 250 mile race at Atlanta Speedway July 16 with a 30000 purse, second in length and prize to the Indianapolis 500. The Minnesota Twins agreed to terms with Montreal, shifting two players from Charleston Senators, with ex-MLB experience among the roster moves. Charleston's 1961 status remains doubtful.
