Hundreds of spectators have come up to me here in the last two days and congratulated me on my dispatch, for United Press In ternational disclosing conditions in our U.S. speed skating camp here. They've told me in effect: I hope you can help throw out our speed skating people. Among the many wires I have received was one Thursday from Joe Mulholland. He's the father of one of our speed skating queens, 18-year-old Kathleen. She was one the other was Cornelia Laker Move Receives OK PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Bob Short, owner of the Minneapolis Lakers says the National Basket ball Assn. has given him an okay to move his franchise to another city, probably Los Angeles. At the same time Thursday at a special NBA meeting, President Maurice Podoloff announced the new Chicago franchise would not operate next season as had been expected. Short said he is considering Los Angeles, Washington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and San Francisco for the franchise shift. "I personally like Los Angeles right now," he added. "But the board of governors will have to approve the city at the April 11 draft meeting in New York. Short said he lost a substantial sum of money "in excess of $50, 000" in Minneapolis this year. He pointed out that Minneapolis played three of its home games in Los Angeles this year and drew some 23.000 fans. "Los Angeles offers good money and an enthusiastic crowd," he declared. The last franchise shift in the NBA came at the end of the 1!)56- 57 season when Fort Wayne shift ed to Detroit and Rochester moved to Cincinnati. As for Chicago, which had been granted a franchise last year, Podoloff said owner Max Winter, who is vacationing in Hawaii, told him "it would be unwise to start operations in 1960."

Thursday's action was the finale for the Mile High grapplers. Said Coach George Miller, "It's a shame we have to hang up our gear at this point. The boys are just now getting into top shape as one can tell by the number of pins we collected at SOC. But there is no budget for tournament action and we are not eligible, yet, for XAIA or other season tournament events.

Joe is a retired New York po lice department lieutenant. He also is an official of tlic Middle Atlantic Speed Skating As sociation, known as the MASA, the ruling body of amateur speed skating in the East, which has one of the largest skating mem berships in the nation. Here is what his telegram said: "Congratulations on a wonderful story. Thanks for telling the world about the conditions that exist in our Olympic skating camp. You are doing a great service for the sport." Then there was a telegram that one of the U.S. speed skating of ficials here received from Pete Larkin, former president of the Eastern MASA Speed Skating As sociation. It said: "Clean up the mess in the Olympic camp." There has been another thing. For the past two days many mem bers of our U.S. speed skating team have come up and patted me on the back and said, in effect 'I'm glad you wrote what you did. But you know, we can't be seen with you." When these same skaters had told me that I could quote what they told me. after I had care fully explained that this was a story I was doing for UPI, they told me there was certain to be reprisals. There have been. There was a special policeman assigned to watch me Wednesday when U.S. officials tried, under threat of violence, to oust me from the speed skating arena. I understand those U.S. of ficials arc now claiming I was in a restricted area. Well, there were a dozen news paper men with me there, includ ing Oscar Fralcy of the UPI, and a lot of spectators. A guard came up and said we all would have to leave when the competition start ed. But then I was told that while the others had to go to the press box or their seals, I would have to go all the way out. Fralcy interceded and pointed out I had the proper working press credentials as an accredited writer for UPI to be where I was. Reloaders 6" 25-Lb.

Although Maehen is ranked No. 5 and Hunter No. 7 in the latest National Boxing Assn. ratings, the odds-makers apparently arc being swayed by the fighters' most re cent efforts. Hunter is unbeaten in his last four starts while Mach en, from Redding, Calif., dropped a 12-round decision to Zora Folley Jan. 18, his last time out. Hunter, who has won 15 of 23 matches with two draws and eight knockouts, came out of nowhere last year to climb up the ring ladder. Machen, 27, will be making his first Garden appearance.
