THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1062 TUE MIChIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JULY 11. 1962 I 1eveland Team oins NBA Group Pipers, with Former OSU Star, To Compete in Eastern Division NEW YORK ()-The. National Basketball Association expanded) to 10 teams yesterday by taking in the rival American Basketball League's richest franchise, ' the Cleveland Pipers. Maurice Podoloff, president of the NBA, said this was done after receiving wires from all ABL own- ers "indicating agreement with' granting the franchise and a sim- ilar message from Abe Sapersteiri, president of the ABL." George Steinbrunner, president' of the Pipers, refused to express an opinion on what would happen to the ABL, now reduced to six teams, and in financial straits. His ABL Folds As Saints Drop Out CHICAGO (AP) - Withdrawal of the San Francisco Saints from the American Basketball League will cause the circuit to suspend op- _.erations for the 1962-63 season, ABL counsel Allan Bloch stated last night. "George McCune (owner of the Saints) informed us by telephone of his withdrawal at the ABL meeting last week," Bloch said. "We were stunned with the news. It would mean that Long Beach (Calif.)-a potential new member -would not have a team to play against within a distance of 1,500 miles. It would mean a terrific amount of transportation difficul- ties with a Long Beach and Ha- waii schedule. "In my opinion, it would not be feasible financially for the league to operate under these conditions. The Saints' withdrawal certainly knocks out Long Beach and Hawaii. "Also it knocked out the Cleve- land Pipers. The Pipers would have stayed in the ABL if the Saintsw had not withdrawn. The Pipers went into the National Bas- ketball Association only as a re- sult of McCune's decision." Bloch said the ABL could re- sume in 1963-64 if conditions were favorable. He did not elaborate on what will happen to players under ABL contract during a suspension. In Pittsburgh, owner Lenny Lit- man of the ABL's Pittsburgh Rens said it is his understanding that ABL players would become free agents and could sign with NBA teams. Eight U.S. Golf Stars Make Open TROON, Scotland (P)-Defend- ing Champion Arnold Palmer shrugged off a nagging back in- jury yesterday and led eight Amer- icans into the British Open Golf Championship, to begin over the tricky, windswept Old Troon Course today. Palmer, the U.S. Masters Cham- pion from Latrobe, Pa., missed only two greens in his score of 34-33- 67 over the qualifying course of Lochgreen. That was 5-under-par. Phil Rodgers, the 24-year-old former Marine from La Jolla, Calif., matched Palmer's 67 over the 6,788-yard Lochgreen course and ended the two qualifying rounds as the top American. Palmer, who had a 76 dver the championship links of Troon on Monday, finished with a qualify- ing score of 76-67-143. Rodgers had a qualifying score of one less han Palmer. He finished with 76- 67-142. other Americans setting off to- day over Troon in a four round fight to dethrone Palmer are: Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, West Va., 69-74-143; Gene Littler, 1961 U.S. Open Champion from San Diego, Calif., 71-76-147; Don Essie, 23-year-old former Public Links Champion from Indianapolis, Ind., 75-72- 147; Jack Nicklaus, U.S. Open Champion from Columbus, Ohio, 76-73-149; Paul Runyan, the 53- year-old World Senior Golf Cham- pion from La Jolla, Calif., 76-75- 151, and Jack Isaacs, Langley Air Force Base, Va., 80-74-154. Isaacs was the American who sweated it out in the club house. The last threesome came to the home hole at Troon. If three of them made 154 then out went Isaacs and everybody else at 154. A total of 119 will start shooot- ing for real over Troon's par 36- 36-72 links today. team won the ABL title last sea- son. Podoloff said the principal stockholders of the Cleveland club include Steinbrunner, George Mc- Keon of San Francisco, and "sev- eral owners of American Basket- ball League teams, among whom is Ken Kreuger of Kansas City." No financial terms werevreveal- ed, but it was rumored the Pipers will pay the NBA a $300,000 fran- chise fee, much of which would go to the Cincinnati Royals, plus a $100,000 performance bond. The reason for the identification of Cincinnati is that the, Royals drew Jerry Lucas in the basketball draft only to see the Ohio State star sign with the Pipers. Objec- tions by the Cincinnati Royals to letting Lucas play anywhere in the NBA except Cincinnati was a stumbling block in closing the deal with. Cleveland. Lucas Will Play "Jerry Lucas is agreeable to playing in the NBA," said Stein- brunner, "and we are working out details now so he can continue his education." Lucas had been critical of the demanding NBA schedule, but Stenibrunner said "I think Jerry realizes now that there is not much difference between the 72 games in the NBA and the 30 he would have played in the ABL." In Eastern Division Cleveland will play in the East- ern Division of the NBA along with Boston, New York, Syracuse, and Cincinnati. In the Western Division are St. Louis, Detroit, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Left in the ABL are Kansas City, Chicago, Hawaii, New York, San Francisco and Pittsburgh. The NBA is the pioneer of big league, professional basketball in the United States. The ABL was created last year by Abe Saper- stein, famed promoter of the Har- lem Globetrotters. 4 4 THE WINNING COMBINATION-Stan Musial (left), Maury Wills (center) and Roberto Clemente were the combination that supplied the National League All-Stars with their first two runs in yesterday's 3-1 victory over the American League. Musial, the St. Louis veteran, got a pinch single. Wills, the Los Angeles shortstop, ran for Musial and stole second base, getting in position to score on a single by Pittsburgh's Dick Groat. Clemente, also of Pittsburgh, then singled. Groat scored the second and winning run on a ground out by Orlando Cepeda, also of San Francisco. MUSIAL, WILLS, MAYS STAR: National League Team Wins All-Star Contest, 3-1 d By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Stan Musial, the 41-year-old grand old man of the St. Louis Cardinals, showed his National League mates how to do it yesterday with a pinch single that touched off a two-run inning for a 3-1 victory over the Ameri- can League. President John F. Kennedy, part of a record crowd of 45,480 at D.C. Stadium for the 32nd All-Star Baseball Game, applauded vigor- ously when "Stan the Man" touch- ed off the winning spurt in the sixth inning with his 20th all-star hit. There was no score when Mu- sial, appearing in his 22nd all-1 star game, popped out of the dug- out to bat for San Francisco's Juan Marichal, who turned out to be the winning pitcher. Single to Right Camilio Pascual, the Minnesota curve ball artist, snaked over two called strikes before Musial lash- ed out from his familiar crouch and stroked a single to right field. Fred Hutchinson, the Cincinna- ti manager who bossed the Na- tionals, called for Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers to run for Musial. The crowd gave Musial an ovation. , Wills, stealer of 46 bases in the regular season, dashed for second as Dick Groat of Pittsburgh, an accomplished hit and run man, swung and missed. His bat flew toward third base and Wills stole second without a throw from Min- nesota's Earl Battey. Groat then singled Wills home with a smash into center field. Another Run Roberto Clemente of Pittsburgh followed with his third hit, a sin- gle, and both men advanced after Willie Mays of San Francisco sent Roger Maris of New York deep to the fence in center for his long fly ball. Groat scampered home with the second run while Rich Collins of Minnesota was throwing SPORTS SHORTS: Dingle Bay Wins Three-Year-Old Race at Hollywood By The Associated Press INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Dingle Bay, running as part of a long shot entry, shot through a hole in the inside and won the three- year-old filly championship of Hollywood Park with a head vic- tory in the $56,650 Hollywood Oaks yesterday. Fournell, who had won three of her last four starts and was the odds-on favorite finished fourth. Table Mate was third in the field Wish 'n' Wait was second and of 11. * * * Three Lead Publinks BUFFALO, N.Y.-A Memphis, Tenn., salesman, a college student from Hayward, Calif., and an 18- year-old Georgian'who figurative- ly cut his teeth on a golf club, shared medalist honors among early finishers yesterday in the 37th annual U.S. Public Links Championships. Bert Greene, a slender blond from Eastman, Ga., fired a 3-over- par 74 on Sheridan Park's 6,697- yard course in suburban Tona- wanda for a 36-hole total of 148. Joining him were John B. Wade Jr. of Memphis, and 19-year-old John Joseph from California. Both added 73's to first round 75's. The 64 leaders in the 36-hole medal qualifier advance to match play starting today. The 36-hole finals will be played Saturday for the title now held by Dick Sikes of Wichita, Kan. The 22-year-old Sikes, toting his own bag as usual, qualified with a 75 yesterday for a total of 150. Among the day's better rounds was a one-under-par 70 by Billy Tindall, 18-year-old former U.S. Junior Champion from Seattle. Despite a disastrous 81 in Mon- day's wind and cold, he survived the cut-off handily with a 151 to- tal. Norville Takes Lead ST. LOUIS-Richard S. Nor- ville of Oklahoma City had a three-over-par 74 yesterday for a 144 total and a good chance to take medalist honors in the qual- ifying for the 59th Annual Trans- Mississippi Golf Tournament at Old Warson Country Club. Norville was two strokes ahead of George Hixon, another Okla- homa City golfer, with about half of the field of 150 having com- pleted their 36 holes. The low 63 players in the two- day qualifying trials will join de- fending champion Herb Durham of Dallas in match play starting today. After the first round, there will be double rounds on both Thursday and Friday with the 36- hole finals on Saturday. * * * Miss Creed in Front SOUTH BEND, Ind.-Clifford Ann Creed of Alexandria, La., led the way into the second round of the 62nd Women's Western Ama- teur Golf Championship yesterday with an easy 5-4 win over Mrs. Ruth White Miller of Whittier, Calif. Miss Creed had a four-under- par 35 on the first nine to go five holes ahead of her opponent. She lost only one hole in the match, conceding the 11th after being trapped twice. She had five birdies and two bogies. Her fairway play was so good her longest putt was only 15 feet from the cup. Nefertiti Wins Race NEWPORT, R.I. - Nefertiti de- feated Easterner by just 10 sec- onds yesterday in the trial series to determine the United States sloop that will defend the Ameri- ca's Cup. The victory was the seventh against one defeat for the Boston Yacht Club sloop. She leads in the current series which started July 2 and is scheduled to run through Saturday. Easterner, which had soundly beaten Weatherly in sloppy going Monday, almost made it two up- sets in a row. She led by 28 sec- onds rounding the second mark of the 20-mile triangular course. But Easterner couldn't quite hold it on the final nine mile leg from the America's Cup buoy to the fin- ish line one mile southwest of Brenton Reef lightship. Nefertiti overhauled Easterner 100 yards from the finish line, then tacked and crossed the line about two boat lengths ahead. out Orlando Cepeda of San Fran- cisco. Mays was tremendous in the field although he failed to get a hit. Twice he went deep to drag down long blasts by Maris, the 61- home run king of last year. When the Americans threatened again in the last of the ninth with two on and two out, it was Mays fading to the fence in deep right center for a game-ending catch on Chi- cago's Luis Aparicio. Great Wills Speed Wills gave the American League fans another taste of his famed speed in the eighth when the Na- tionals added their third run. The little shortstop dropped a Texas league single into left off Cleve- land's Dick Donovan. When Jim Davenport of the San Francisco Giants singled to left, Wills tore into second base. Rocky Colavito of Detroit, playing left field, threw to second base only to see Wills headed for third. But Wills, the only man in re- cent years to become a real threat to Ty Cobb's base stealing records, was not finished yet. When Felipe Alou of San Francisco fouled out to Los Angeles' Leon Wagner, along the right field line, Wills tagged up and scored in a cloud of dust. He slid home while Cleve- land's John Romano grabbed for Wagner's peg. AL Leads Series The American League, which now leads this series by the ever- narrowing margin of 16-15-1, scor- ed its only. run in the sixth. How- ever, it might have been two or even three if Mays hadn't made the leaping catch on Maris' long sacrifice fly. Rollins opened the American sixth with a bloop single to left and Billy Moran of the Los An- geles Angels followed with a long single to left center. Quick field- ing by Mays prevented the ball from going between the outfield- ers. Maris got good wood on a 1-1 pitch and the ball sailed through the bright sunshine into deepest center with Mays in pursuit. At the last second Willie made a leap- ing glove-handed grab near the wire screen. Rollins tagged up and scored without a play. Pascual Defeated Pascual was treated the tough- est of the four pitchers used by Manager Ralph Houk of the Yan- kees and the American League. The Cuban right-hander gave up four hits and two runs in three innings, and suffered his first all- star defeat. While the Nationals were rack- ing up the American pitchers for eight hits, the National's foursome of Don Drysdale of Los Angeles, winner Marichal, Bob Purkey of Cincinnati and Bob Shaw of Mil- waukee were holding the' Ameri- cans to four hits. Nobody hit a homer. In fact there were only two extra base hits. Luis Aparicio of the Chicago White Sox tripled in the third with nobody out but died there when Drysdale blew down Lee Thomas of Los Angeles, Rollins and Moran. Bunning Tremendous Jim Bunning of Detroit did a tremendous job of pitching that, unfortuately, will be overlooked because his team lost. He pitched three shutout innings, allowing only one hit-a double by Cle- mente in the first. The Tigers' fire-baller now has pitched eight consecutive scoreless innings in all-star play, allowing only one hit in the eight innings spread over yesterday's game and the two 1961 contests. Each manager used 19 of his 25 players, following the plan they had announced before the game. There were some questions asked when Houk lifted Maris after he had batted in the sixth. "I wanted everybody to play," explained Houk. "After all, this is an all-star game. They were pick- ed from their clubs and I think they should have the opportunity to play. I figured six innings was enough for Maris." Mickey Mantle, the Yankee star who is hobbled by a knee injury, played only four innings and left the game after he was walked in the fourth. IL All-Stars Play orioles ROCHESTER, N.Y. (P) - The International League All-Stars go after their fourth straight victory over Major League opposition to- night when th7ey tangle with the Baltimore Orioles in the IL's Sev- enth Annual All-Star Game. A sellout crowd of more than 15,000 is expected. Righthander Robin Roberts, one of baseball's veteran pitchers, is expected to start for the American League Orioles. He will probably be opposed by Columbus lefthand- er Don Rowe or, Toronto right- hander Carl Green.
