GOOB SO GOOD IT'S REMARKABLE x 8 flit m:rr :MI n3 .. JffAA) All-Stars, Boston Celts Break Way Br HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) The world ' champion Boston Celtics and the professional All-Stafs have averaged about 5,000 per game attendance on their post season tour of the West but better than that, they have done a good job of opening up new territory for a proposed expan sion of the National Basketball association. "President Maurice Podloff asked for a report on possible places for new NBA franchises,' said Ron Weiner of the advance staff for the Boston All-Star gam at the Cow Palace here tonight. "I gather that when Charley Caruso of the CLD Enterprises (tour sponsors) makes his report that he'll have something good to say. Podloff was particularly in terested in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles as possible spots for new fran chises. We found the reception excellent in Portland, where the teams played to a near sell-out crowd of 4,900 in a high school gymasium in Vancouver, Wash., across the Columbia river. The attitude on Seattle, however, may be only so-so. Attendance there was 4,000 but that was close to capacity." High Spot The crowd tonight is expected to be around 12,000 which should be the high spot of the 21-game tour that now has been extended to include four games in Honolulu. While San Francisco right now, is ready for professional basketball in the Cow Palace, no "angel" has come up with the money to finance such a venture. Los Angeles is being delayed by failure to build a new sports center. Plans have been drafted there for an in door stadium seating 15,000 but no work has been done on the job. The most popular player on the tour so far, ' says Weiner, is Tom Heinsohn, the NBA Rookie of the Year, playing for the Cel tics. Heinsohn is the first rookie in history to score more than 1,000 points in a season. How ever, very close in the popular ity run is Dolph Schayes, form er NYU star, who has scored more than 10,000 points in eight years in the league. Shox-Makeri Tops . "Bill Russell, the big man in the West, is spectacular on de fense, but he doesn't attract as much attention as the shot-makers," says Weiner. "However, Bob Cousy is the 'player's player.' " Cousy, incidentally, thinks this may be the best profession al basketball team of all time. "I understand Abe Sapper- stein wants to match the Globe trotters against us," says Cousy. "It probably would draw well for one year. But I don't think the Globetrotters, with their present material, would come within thirty points of our team." Early Times is so good that... of all the whis kies made in Kentucky and these are the world's best Kentuckians themselves overwhelmingly choose Early Times over all other straight whiskies. -Try it yourself. You'll have better times with Early Times. MEDFORDvwTBJBUNI Paul Pettit Replaces Stuart, Paces Stars By DON THACKERY United Press Sports Writer Dick Stuart, who has been getting as much newspaper space as the classified ads, watched an old hand at the press clipping game take over his position, his specialty and his headlines in the Pacific Coast league Thurs day night. . The Hollywood Stars benched Stuart and started Paul Pettit, who gotgold and glamor when he signed as a pitcher several years ago. Pettit lived up some of his clippings with two home runs that helped propel the Stars to a 10-2 win over Portland. Meanwhile San Francisco took over the top spot in the league with a 7-0 shutout of their play mates from Vancouver. Los An geles got by Sacramento 3-2 and Seattle downed San Diego 2-1. Pettit's two homers came with the bases empty and Bill Causion and R. C. Stevens also chipped in with circuit clouts to keep Port land shut firmly in the PCL basement. Bill Casper Heads Derby Louisville, Ky. (U.R) What ever Billy Casper Jr.,- of Bonita, Calif., has, the rest of the inter national field in the $30,000 Kentucky Derby Open wanted their share today. Casper, an ex-gob, led the trimmed-down field of 89 pros and 10 amateurs into the third round of the tournament with a one-stroke lead, after fashion ing a second straight 68 Thurs day that gave him a 36-hole total of 136. Nipping at his heels were Jack Fleck, former U. S. Open cham pion from Rochester, Mich., and Peter Thomson, a cool Aussie, both deadlocked at 137 and quiet Art Wall Jr., of Pocono Manor, Pa., at 138. Walker Inman Jr., of Bolton, Mass., the first-round leader, was in fifth place after slipping to a one-over-par 72 Thursday, giving him a 139 total, while Howie Johnson, of Houston, Tex., carded a fine 68 for a 140 total and sixth place. . Hard Way To Go Hollywood starter iiugn rep- knocked out in the second inning when he collid ed at home plate with catcher Danny Baich. Don Schuitz took over on the hill and got credit for the win. San Francisco pointed out the facts of life to Vancouver with a three-hit pitching job on the part of R. W. Smith, who went the route for the first time in 26 starts. Bill Renna homered in the sivth as the Seals erupted for four runs to make things smooth for Smith. Irv Palica, the old Brooklyn Dodser. was the loser as the Seals cracked out 10 hits. Seattle stayed a game off the Dace by scoring in the eighth inning to down San Diego for the third straight time, tacn team scored one in the opening inning and then things were quiet until Leo Righetti, Bill Glynn and Joe Taylor singled in succession to fashion the win ning tally. ' Munger Wins Red Munger got the win and young Gene Lary the loss. Jim Baxes hit a two-run homer for the Los Angeles Angels to help them to the win over Sacra mento. Dick Hanlon got credit for the win although he needed help when the Solons scored single runs in the eighth and ninth. The run in the eighth was on a disputed inside-the-park homer off the bat of Jack Tobin. Tobin scored as an argument broke out when Tobin's hit went into the Sacramento bullpen. - Los Angeles protested the game but the outcome made the action unnecessary. - North-South Golf Semis Played Pinehurst, N.

Perm Launches Relay Carnival Philadelphia (U.R) The eyes of Texas were on Villanova today as the 63rd Penn Relay carnival opened on Franklin field with the speedy Longhorns and the limping but still solid Wildcats opening their bids for three top .titles in the two-day meet. Only one major relay cham pionship the distance medley in which Villanova was defend ing champion was on today's program of the 89-event track festival. But five individual titles were up for grabs and the ter rific Texans tuned up in heats in two sprint relays in their first Carnival appearance since 1936.
