Ducks Win
On Big Blast

its second straight Northern di
vision victory over Washington
State, 6-3.
On Wednesday Maddox made
a perfect throw from left field
to nip a runner at the plate and
preserve a 5-4 win for the
Ducks.
Sharing the hero honors with
Maddox Thursday was pinch hit
ter Jim Pingree who came up
with the Ducks trailing 3-1 in

homer.

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.

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. -

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.
The Texas fireball foursome
of Wally Wilson, Hollis Gainey,
Ed Southern and Bobby Whilden
cracked its own world record
with a 3J.9 clocking in the 440
yard relay last week, and earlier
equaled the world mark of 1:22.7
in the 880-yard relay.
The individual titles to be de
cided today were the 400-meter
hurdles, the college two-mile
run with Jim Beatty of North
Carolina defending his title; the
broad jump with Olympic cham
pion. Greg Bell of Indiana de
fending; the discus and hammer
throw.

Rift Denied
At Detroit
Detroit (U.R) Denials were
trotted out faster than Detroit
Tiger relief pitchers Thursday
when reports appeared that all
was not well between General
Manager Spoke Briggs and Pres
ident Harvey Hansen.
' Biggs denied it, Hansen de
nied it and so did John E. Fetzer,
chairman of the board.
"It was a lousy article and
not true," Briggs said of a story
that broke in a Detroit newspa
per. But last Saturday, the day aft
er Hansen was elected president
to succeed Fred Knorr, Briggs
told manager Jack Tighe that
he had been ordered to stay out
of the clubhouse and out of the
dugout. '
"I'm not going to do it," he
told Tighe.
Briggs was reported to have
said in the Detroit story that the
new owners expected to run the
club "like a factory" but that
he would quit first before al
lowing that.

Pittsburgh (U.R) Pittsburgh
Pirates outfielder Roman Me
jias, who pulled up in pain while

Round Table Threat
To Derby Standard
Lexington, Ky. (U.R) Many
old-time hardboots who watched
Round Table's runaway victory
in the Blue Grass Stakes are
convinced that this ' is the year
Whirlaway's record clocking in
the Kentucky derby will be
smashed.
Whirlaway set the mark of
2:01 2-5 for" the mile and one-
quarter Derby run in 1941.
Round Table certainly showed
plenty of speed in winning the
Blue Grass Thursday at Keene
land in track record time.
Round Table carried Derby
weight of 126 pounds over a
mile and one-eighth in 1:47 2-5,
clipping one and three-fifths
seconds off the old standard set
by Correspondent in 1953.
