J MEDFORDf .TRIBUNE eveiane noers Jump To National New York - OIPII - The Na tional Basketball association had a 10th team today in the Cleveland Pipers, last sea son's American Basket ball league champion, but will All America Jerry Lucas go along with the switch? "I'll have to thing about it," said Lucas Tuesday night after learning that the Pipers had Jumped to the rival NBA. The former Ohio State star previously spurned a lucra tive offer from Cincinnati of the NBA and signed with the Pipers because of the ABL's shorter schedule, in addition to a reported $60,000 two yenr contract. Unsuccessful in landing Lucas, the NBA club owners decided Tuesday to do the next best thing - grant a fran chise to Cleveland.

McKeon tnld the San Fran cisco News Call Bulletin that "the American Basket ball league has folded, of course." Steinbrcnner, however, said, "I don't know If they're going out of business." D e spite Lucas' dilemma, Maurice Podoloff, president of the NBA, said Steinbrcnner has assured him that the former Ohio State star will play in the NBA. 1 1 ftTWi':'.'''i Three Tied In NW Golf Van cotiver, B.C. - turn -Three golfers were tied today In the tilti-d annual Pacific Northwest Golf association tournament at the Vancouver Golf club.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Wrilar Washington -HOT- Stan Mu sial, the second oldest man in the majors, and Maury Wills, the swiltest, were credited to day with the National league's 3-1 triumph over the Ameri can league in the first of the 1962 two All-Star games. "Stan got us started and Maury finished It up," was the way winning manager Freddie Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds summed it j up. "Wills' base running was ; the difference. He scored two I runs for us and did a helluva j job." There were other heroes, i too, for the National league, which scored its sixth All-Star victory in the last seven games-the other was a tie-as it narrowed its deficit in the classic to a single game-15 victories against 16 defeats. And with Musial and Wills on its side it could even the series at Chicago's Wrigley field July 30. F'or Will sit was a triumph ant homecoming. The fleet Los Angeles Dodgers short- slop was born in Washington. It was quite an occasion for the 41ycar-old Musial, too, for he got to meet the President of the United States under a little different circumstances. The Cardinal star, probably playing his last season, had met President Kennedy at Milwaukee during the 1960 presidential campaign. He met him again Tuesday in the presidential box. Recalls Conversation "I reminded him of what he told me in Milwaukee," Mu sial said. "At that time, he said, 'Stan, they tell me I'm too young to be president and you're too old to play ball. Maybe we'll both fool 'cm'." It looked like Musial, play ing in his 22nd All-Star game -a record-was going to be fooled when he went In to pinch hit for Juan Marichal, the San Francisco Giant pitch er, in the sixth inning of a game which was scoreless up to then. He took Camilo Pascual's first two pitches for called strikes but then rifled a sharp single to right field. That was all for Stan-who got the big gest ovation of all the play ers in the introduction cere monies before the game-and Wills, who already has stolen 48 bases this season, went in to run for him. The President and Ihe crowd of 45,480 which jam med Washington's new Dis trict of Columbia Stadium cheered Musial to the rafters as he left the field after his 20th All-Star hit. Then It was Wills who drew the cheers. He stole second as batter Dick Groat of the Pirates miss ed the ball on a hit-and-run play.
