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. The jump

suspension.

George Steinbrcnner, presi
dent of the Cleveland club,
George McKcon of the San
Francisco Saints, and Ken
Krueger of the Kansas City
Sfcers were named as prin
cipal stockholders in the
Cleveland corporation and the
other ABL owners will be
given a chance to buy into the
franchise, Indicating the prob
able folding of the new
league.
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.

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
