Braves By The Associated Press BUFFALO - Donny May scored; 29 points, 16 in the first quarter, to lead the Buffalo Braves to a 106- 99 victory over the sliding New York Knicks in a hot-tempered Na- tional Basketball Association game last night. The Knicks played half the game: without their star center, Willis Reed, who scored just four pointsV before being thrown out on a dou- ble technical foul. Reed was hit with a technical after officials called him for an offensive foul and he slammed the ball to the court, then was thrown out with 29 seconds remaining in the first half when he argued about the call.' In addition to missing more than half of last night's game, Reed will undergo five days of examination at a New York hospital for an in- flamed left knee, the New Yorke Knicks said. The club said Reed would be lost for two games, then would probably make the road trip to the West Coast for a National Basket- ball Association contest with Los' Angeles next Tuesday. "Willis will undergo five days of anti-inflammatory x-ray treat- ment," a team spokesman said. "It had nothing to do with his per-, formance of late, just something we've been thinking about a while." May paced Buffalo to a 58-41 halftime lead, then led a Braves' runaway in the second half as they built leads up to 23 points. The Knicks scrambled back in the closing minutes behind Dick Bar- nett to come within seven points, 104-97, with 48 seconds to go. But May and Dick Garrett, who bounce Knicks had 21 points, held off the Knick surge and the Braves handed the defending NBA champions their fifth straight loss and snapped a six-game slide for themselves. Barnett led the New York scor- ing with 21. * * * Celts socked ATLANTA - An explosive three- minute burst at the end of the third period carried surging At- lanta to a 114-102 triumph over Boston in a National Basketball Association game here last night. In that span, Atlanta came up with five steals for a 13-0 spurt that made the score 89-73 and sealed the Hawks' sixth triumph in the last eight games. Pete Maracich, who scored 28 points, had three steals and six points in spurt. The rookie also added 11 rebounds. Also sparkling for the Hawks was forward Bill Bridges who had a season high of 27 rebounds. John Havlicek led Boston with 23 points. . .* Pacers prey INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -Freddie Lewis hit 31 points, including four three-point baskets, to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 115-104 Ameri- can Basketball Association victory over Texas last night.

LaSalle vs. Villanova Dodgers deal for Downing; Porter 'signed' by Condors By The Associated Press * LOS ANGELES-Striving to bolster their pitching, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced yesterday they have traded outfielder Andy Kosco to the Milwaukee Brewers for lefthander Al Downing. Both players ares 29 and were teammates in 1968 with the New York Yankees. Downing, with Oakland and Milwaukee in 1970, had a 5-13 record. Kosco batted .228, hit eight home runs and drove in 27 runs. Dodger vice president Al Campanis said the club may trade for still another southpaw pitcher. ! PITTSBURGH - The operations director of the Pittsburgh Condors said yesterday Villanova star Howard Porter "will be in a Condor uniform." Mark Binstein, however, said he "will not comment" on the con- troversy over whether Porter actually has signed a contract with the American Basketball Association team. Porter, a high-scoring 6-foot-8 forward, was Pittsburgh's No. 1 choice in the recent "secret" ABA draft in Charlotte, N.C. Binstein, at a news conference, also said the Condors would "try to obtain the rights" to Garry Nelson of Duquesne, selected by Texas in the draft. Binstein, who has replaced Marty Blake at the helm of the club, also said the Condors "will be here next year." The ABA franchise has left town and returned once, and poor attendance at home games gave rise to speculation that the team would again seek a new home. 4 * * * 0 NEW YORK-Bill White, former major league first baseman, was named yesterday as a broadcaster for the New York Yankees, the first black to hold such a. job in the majors.

"Hey, somebody swat that mos- quito," said Angelo Dundee. "He' got in without paying." It's no place for Emily Post. Nickel-dime fighters pound bags, jumped ropes and do situps as the crowd multiplies in the Fifth Street gym. They pretend the people came out to watch them . . . but,, they know better. Muhammad Ali's ebony body prances from a makeshift dress- ing room and the people applaud. Fans will pay $150 a head for ringside seats when Ali battles Joe Frazier for the heavyweight title March 8 in New York. Here, the admission is $149 less. All bounces into the training, ring and begins shadow boxing. Onlookers scan his unmarked body. Most are amazed at his size, 6-foot-3 and 221 pounds. "I'm ready," Ali announces. "Get Stanford." Stanford Harris, a squat 235- pound Jamaican, climbs up and trades .shots with the cobra-quick Ali for three rounds. Harris is wearing 16-ounce gloves, twice the size of what Frazier will swing. Dundee, gym proprietor and Ali's trainer, talks with his man after Harris is done. So does Drew "Bundini" Brown, another Ali aide. Despite such chat sessions, it's apparent the man is bossed only by himself. If Ali wants to box some more, he does. That's that. He wants more this time. Bunky Akins pulls his over-mus- cled body through the ropes and becomes Ali's target for two rounds. The defrocked champion works hard on pinning Akins in a corner, the way he hopes to do against Frazier. Cassius Clay Sr. whips out a pancake-sized gold pocket w a t c h' and begins timing something. The old man usually stands in the shadows. Across the ring, a plump lady watches with a slight smile. She's Odessa Grady Clay, mother of the man now known as Muhammad Ali. "Sure. I worry anytime my sons fight," she said. "But I think he'll beat Joe Frazier. I always think he'll win ... he always has. By now, the gym smells of per- spiration. "People gonna be shocked how easy I beat Joe Frazier," says Ali in a sudden explosion of brash- ness. "He made his reputation beatin' guys who wouldn't be a good workout for me." Ali's sweat drips as he leans over the ropes. Handlers untape his fists. "Frazier just moved his training camp to Philadelphia," he s a i d. "He's all confused. The weather's against him . .. the hotel food is against him." Ali's diet is built around fresh cooked vegetables, beef and lamb. It's cooked for him specially in his* apartment at Octagon Towers, across Washington Ave. from Miami Beach Convention Hall. Former World Boxing Associa- tion heavyweight champ Jimmy Ellis arrived by now. He works al- most unnoticed until Ali yells, "I want James Ellis in the r i n g. Bring James Ellis up here to fight the greatest boxer in the world." Its' all a gag, but newcomers to the gym never seem to catch on. They gasp as handlers execute re- straint of the heavyweights. "Will you box me, James Ellis?" Ali growls. "I'll get you if you beat J o e Frazier," returns Ellis. "He's all but whupped," said Ali. "So you can come on up on this ring." End of show. The fighters joke about it in the dressing room min- utes later. A fourth member of the Louis- ville family has spent the day creating a head-wracking noise in the back of the gym. ,Rahaman Ali raps the light bag, keeping his heavyweight frame in shape "- mostly to box preliminarieshbefore his famed brother's fights. Raha- man was formerly Rudolph Val- entino Clay. Most of the buck-a-head fans have gone when the phone in a battered, old booth rings. Some- body wants to speak to Ali. He emerges again from t h e dressing area, clad in an unmark- ed terrycloth robe. Ali gives the radio newsman in Pittsburgh a 10- minute interview. "That fellow told me Jack Dempsey said he don't think I can take a punch," Ali says. "I have great respect for Mr. Dempsey, but I'm telling him here and now that I don't plan ever finding out." "Ain't nobody hit me good yet. Joe Frazier ain't gonna be the first. I'm just too quick, too good .,..
