Unhappy Ted Cox warms Tribe bench
ANAHEIM Calif AP Ted Cox has seen little playing time for the Cleveland Indians this season and no plans for change. He started once against the White Sox and collected his first hits since April 16. Cox doubted trade talks, while GM Phil Seghi said no deal or optioning plans exist. Manager Jeff Torborg said Cox will back up third base for the rest of the season. Cox said he proved he is still alive after a shaky start.

Browns fail to ink Dutton in on going contract dispute
Cleveland Browns officials confirmed they offered John Dutton a contract after he exercised his option with Baltimore. The team could not meet his salary demands, in part due to his agent Howard Slusher who also represented kicker Tom Skladany. Dutton, 24, was the No. 1 pick of Baltimore from Nebraska in 1974 and sought a better deal after two unsettled seasons.
