Celtic Victory
By UNITED PRESS
Big Neil Johnston put h i s
name into the record book with
a new club scorine mark for
the Philadelphia Warriors to
day but even so Boston's Bob
Cousy left little doubt he is still
the most spectacular player in
the National Basketball associa
tion. Despite Johnson's 38-point
performance Tuesday night,
which ga-e him a career total
of 8.036 points and eclipsed
Joe Fulks' previous mark of 8,
003 points with Philadelphia,
the New York Knickerbockers
licked the Warriors, 114-110, at
Madison Square garden.
Cousy was superb in the op
ener as he sparked a fourth
quarter spurt that gave the
Celtics a 103-91 triumph over
Minneapolis for their eighth
straight victory. Cousy had eight
assists in addition to 20 points.
For Wayne strengthened its
hold on first place in the West
ern Division with a 91-85 decis

Corky . Devlin highlighted a
fourth quarter spurt that car
ried the Pistons to victory.

dropped to fourth. Chuck Spies
er of Lansing, Mich., remained
the No. 1 contender and Tony
Anthony of New York was
ranked third.
Ray Robinson, who lost the

followed by Charley Humez of

N.Y., and Ellsworth (Spider)
Webb of Chicago. "
In the welterweight division.
Caspar Ortega of Mexico took
over the second spot behind

brought about by failing eye
sight, left the featherweight
championship vacant. France's
Cherif Hamia was ranked No. 1
contender followed by Miguel
Berrios of Puerto Rico and Car
melo Costa of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Stan Musia! '
Signs Pact
With Cards
Stan (The Man) Musial was
still the highest paid player in
the National league today and
just as determined to prove he
is the leagues best batter.
Musial signed his 1957 con
tract late Tuesday for a reported
$80,000, the same figure he got
last year, although his batting
average dropped nine points to
.310 from 1955. He was the last
of the 42 players on the St. Louis
Cardinals winter roster to sign.
Musial, who holds the highest
lifetime slugging record of .578
and more miscellaneous records
than iny other player in the
league, said he is sure, "the way
I feel right now," he will cap
ture the circuit's batting title for
the seventh time this year.
Three NL Clubs Active
Three other National League
clubs, the Chicago Cubs, Phila
delphia Phillies, and Pittsburgh
Pirates, also were active in the
contract department today.
In the American League, the
Detroit Tigers completed signing
their regulars when right fielder
Al Kaline came to terms on the
second attempt at a reported
$30,000.
The Cubs ran their total of
players signed to 21 with pacts
from third baseman Ray Jablon
ski, who was obtained during the
winter from Cincinnati after hit
ting .256 for the Redlegs, and
pitchers Don Kaiser (4-9) and
Dave Stenhouse, a rookie who
led the Class C Evangeline
league last year with a 16-4 rec
ord.
The Phillies also signed three
for a total of 13 first baseman
Marv Blaylock, who hit .254;
and outfielders Bob Bowman,
who hit .278 for Miami of the In
ternational League, and Jim
Davis, who batted .304 for Sche
nectady of the Eeastern League.
Sign Free Agent
The Pirates signed "one that
got away from the Phillies
John A. Lamabe, 20-year-old
pitcher from Farmingdale, N.Y.,
who was declared a free agent
by Commissioner Ford Fnck on
a violation of the old major
league-college rule after com'
piling a 2.87 earned run average
for . the Phillies' Wilson, N. C,
farm team. Lamabe signed a
"non-bon" contract.
Pittsburgh also obtained con
tracts for outfielder Johnny
Powers, who hit .312 with 39
homers for New Orleans and will
be given a trial at first base, and
outfielder Ramon Mejias, who
hit .274 for Hollywood of the

St. Louis,
Wake Forest
Post Wins
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer .
St. Louis and Wake Forest,
two mighty good teams that have
been forced to play "second fid
dle" so far in their own leagues,
launched twin drives today for a
bigger share of basketball glory.
The St. Louis Billikens, ranked
16th nationally but overshadow
ed in the Missouri Valley con
ference by llth-ranked Bradley,
racked up an important 49-45
victory over the Oklahoma
Aggies Tuesday night at Still
water, Okla., to shove their sea
son record to an excellent 12-5.
Wake Forest, ranked 14th na
tionally but faced with the
tough task of beating top-ranked
North Carolina, notched an im
pressive 77-59 victory over Duke
at Winston-Salem, N. C, to make
its record 13-3.
Stole Spotlight
These victories over high
ranked foes stole the spotlight
Tuesday night from Louisville,
the nation's No. 6. team, which
walloped Loyola of the South,
79-53, for its ninth straight vic
tory and also a 13-3 record.
The St. Louis victory moved
the Billikens into a second-place
tie with Wichita in the Missouri
Valley league at 5-1, only one
game behind Bradley. And St.
Louis and Bradley still are sched
uled to meet twice next month,
on Feb. 13 and 23.
Ken Lane Choice
Over Frank Ryff
Norfolk, Va. (U.R) Kenny
Lane, the No. 2 lightweight con
tender, ruled an 8-5 favorite
to gain his 11th straight victory
tonight in his nationally-televised
and broadcast return bout
against blond Frankie Ryff of
New York.
Lane whipped Ryff once on a
unanimous decision in Miami
last November, a defeat that
knocked fancy-boxing Frankie
right out of -the 135-pound class
rankings.
Ryff, who cits. easily and
lacks punching power, is burn
ing for a revenge triumph that
would restore him to the charm
ed circle of contenders for the
crown now worn by Joe Brown
of New Orleans.

New York (U.R) The Un
ited States has been invited to
