Patterson appeals tax rap
By The Associated Press
WAEHINGTON - Bobbie Mitchell, the top pass catcher in the
National Football League's active ranks, retired from the Washington
Redskins Monday.
Mitchell, his once agile legs now aching at 34, said "this is a
sad moment. After 20 years of playing, it is hard to turn loose
something you love."
The Redskins said Mitchell will remain with the club in a front-
01fice job.
Mitchell had bean the top active receiver in the NFL with 521
catches for 7,953 yards - covering more than four and a half miles
over the past decade.

Floyd Patterson has appealed an Internal Revenue Service claim that
he owes $358,870 in back taxes.
Records in the U.S. Tax Court disclosed Monday that the gov-
ernment is seeking $94,856 on Patterson's income for 1959, $113,239
for 1960 and $150,775 for 1961.

claim long-term capital gains from the sale of his stock interest in
Floyd Patterson Enterprises Ltd.

and broadcaster panel.

fielder. Hickman hit .301 for the month with 10 home runs and
25 runs batted in in 29 games. He received seven votes.
