Celtics Beat Syracuse To I« Enter Finals I BOSTON (UPI (Whatever happens in the National Basketball Associatoin chapmionship playoff I series between the Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis Lakers is apt to be anti-climactic. Little could top Wednesday night’s thriller in which the Celtics staged a late rally to win the Eastern Division playoffs from the stubborn Syracuse Nats in the seventh apd .deciding game. , The upstart Nats, given practically no chance against Boston in the series, led by 16 points at one time in the second period. , The Celtics regained the lead at , the close of the third period at , the Garden but had to pull it out of the fire in the game’s last min- ’ utes after Syracuse refused to give up and held a one-point advantage as late as the eight-min- 1 ute mark of the fourth stanza. ' Says Series Greatest 1 “It was one of the greatestno. the greatest — series I’ve 1 ever played in during nine years 1 in the NBA,” said Bob Cbusy, < who drove in for the layup that' 1 gave Boston the lead for good with three minutes remaining. 5 “We both said before the series 1 began that it would be a tough > series and it was just that,” said > Cousy. < The best of seven final series 1 starts here Saturday, with the second game here Sunday, both 1 to be televised. The third • and 1 4 fourth scraps will be played at 1 Minneapolis next Tuesday and J Thursday. 1 “Syracuse v?es a great team,” 1 chorused Celt’cs Coach Red Auer- 1 bach and the Boston players. “Don’t let anybody kid you,” !

Senators, Orioles Exchange Pitchers MIAMI. Fla. (UPI) -The Washington Senator's acquisition of problem pitcher Billy Loes is believed the forerunner of a deal in which they also would get shortstop Willie Miranda from the Baltimore Orioles. The Senators sent pitcher Vito Valentinetti to the Orioles Wednesday to obtain the 29 - year -old Loes—an eccentric right - Jiander who never has lived up to expectations. A product of the Dodger farm system, Loes has a 67 - 49 record for eight big league seasons but was 3-9 last season. i added Bill Russell, whose 32 rebounds and 18 points were a major factor in the Celtics victory. “We couldn't have played a tougher team. St. Louis (ousted by the Lakers in the Western Division playoffs) couldn’t have been any better. The Nats didn’t ; quit—but neither did we.” Nate “Too Cautious” Veteran George Yardley, an astoundingly great player at the age of 30, summed up the Syracuse loss: "We just got too cautious in the third period when we were eight points in front. Boston started to cut loose and overcome our lead." Yardley and teammate Dolph Schayes, also 30, turned in two tremendous performances that netted a combined 67 points. But it was Cousy and Frank Ramsey of Boston who paced the Celts win. Cousy sparked the final comeback and ended the night with 25 points- Ramsey spearheaded the third-period Boston comeback. Ramsey, playing with the index finger of his shooting hand in a light cast, led the Boston shooters with 28 points. The score: Celtics 130 Syracuse 125.

Masters Tourney Opens At Augusta AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — Golfs old - guard, including Sam Snead, Jackie Burke, Cary Middlecoff and grand-pappy Jimmy attracted added support when brisk winds were forecast for the start of play today in the Masters tournament. A field of 88, made up of 19 amateurs and 69 professionals, was scheduled to tee off at approximately 10 a. m. for the first of the four rounds which will decide the winner of the tournament ; started by Bobby Jones 25 years ago. When word got around that windy weather was predicted for today’s first round, the odds-mak-ers installed Snead, a three-time winner of the Masters, as the favorite at 5 to L dropping young , Ken Venturi, the original choice, , down to 6-1. Snead is used to the winds which often sweep the Augusta j National Golf Club course and so ,'are Burlqt, Middlecoff and Demar- ‘ et. Demaret; Who is the only golfer besides Snead who has won this tournament three times, is re- ; garded as the best wind player in ; the game. '*•->. , The forecast also increased the < chances of defending champion : Arnold Palmer, also regarded as : one of the better players when I breezes engulf the course. Palmer, however, still was listed as an 8-1 shot along with Mid- 1 dlecoff and Ben Hogan. Demaret, i along with Art Wall and Billy , Casper, were 10-1 while Burke , was 13-1. ! 1 Conservation Council Will Meet Saturday The Adams county council of conservation will hold their regu- 1 lar ngeeting Saturday evening at the city halL.A_lilm, “Indiana ■ Dunes Land,’ a picture of the ; dunes on Lake Michigan, will be : shown and any one interested is invited to attend.

Chicago Cubs 1 Whip Jones In 1 Initial Start f By FRED DOWN c United Press International The Chicago Cubs, who have t been knocking the cover off the 1 ball all spring, have knocked a little glitter off San Francisco’s ® big deal for Sam Jones. * Jones, the National League 1 strikeout king obtained by the 1 Giants last week, made his debut I for them Wednesday and ran into I a storm of 'basehits that resulted in a 10-5 Cub victory. Jones s worked only four innings but yielded nine hits and all the Cubs’ T rwas. Geoige Altman, picked as the a Cubs’ “rookie of the spring,” cel- e ebrated by belting, a. three-run homer and driving in a total of v four runs to lead the Cubs’ 11-hit w assault. The Cubs wrapped up the j. triumph with a five-run fourth inning rally that boosted them into . a 10-1 lead. 1 Bob Anderson, a 6-foot, 4-inch rookie right-hander who previous- ° ly went nine innings, went eight * Wednesday and experienced his c only really bad inning when the < Giants scored three runs in the r fifth. Walt Moryn also hit a threerun homer for the Cubs and Daryl Spencer had three hits for San Francisco. c Gives “Iffy” Performance s The Cleveland Indians managed e to pull out a 5-4 decision over the f. Boston Red Sox but were dis- f turbed by another “iffy” perform- a ance by ex-strikeout artist Herb t Score. Score struck out seven batters in three innings but the Red j Sox also scored four runs—on a ' solo homer by Sam White and a three-run blast by Frank Malzone. s Billy Martin hit two homers and jVic Power and Jim Piersail one v each for Cleveland. t The New York Yankees scored . all their runs in the ninth to whip the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-1, the ( Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-0, the Chi- s cago White Sox topped the Mil- t waukee Braves, 8-5, the Kansas . City Athletics shaded the Detroit * Tigers, 4-3, and the Cincinnati u Reds beat the Washington Sena- 1 tors, 6-4, and Baltimore beat ‘ Pittsburgh, 4-3, in other exhibition < activity. , Two singles and an error by ■ first-baseman Bill White enabled ' the Yankees to tie the score and ithey poured over four more runs with the help of hits by Cletus Boyer. Ryne Duren and Hank , Bauer to hand the Cardinals their atMmht loss. Vineizan, Rend _ [Mizell had shut out the world i champions with three hits fop eight innings. Don Larsen encouraged the Yankees with a strong three-inning performance. Phillies Remain Scoreless Gil Hodges had a double* and a homer and Duke Snider a double *’ and triple to lead a 13-hit Dodger attack that included seven extrabase blows. Rookie Larry Sherry, Don Bessent and Phil Paine held the Phillies to seven singles and did not allow a base-runner to reach third. The Phillies haven’t scored in 19 consecutive innings. Nelson Fox singled home the “lead” run and Jim Landis doubled home two insurance tallies as the White Sox staged a gamewinning five-run rally in the eighth. Homers by Hank Aaron and Del Crandall and four straight hits by Johnny Logan highlighted Milwaukee’s attack j but the Braves nonetheless sufj sered their 15th setback in 21 , games. Frank Lary went the distance ’for the first time this spring for Detroit but was beaten when pinch-hitter Preston Ward hit a two-run homer in the ninth. Hector Lopez also homered for Kansas City while Larry Doby and Frank Bolling connected for the Tigers. Doby is hitting .400 since the Tigers acquired him from the Indians. Eddie Kasko’s two-run triple climaxed a three-run eighth-in-rally that enabled the Reds to stretch Washington’s losing streak to six games. Frank Robinson and Jim Pendleton had three hits each for Cincinnati and Roy Sievers hit his third homer in two days for the Senators. Baltimore’s Al Pilarcik singled home teammate Jim Finigan in the 12th inning to give the Orioles its victory over the Pirates. The Pirates Bob Skinner sent the game into extra innings when he slammed a three-run homer for the Pirates in the sixth. - Reliever Connie Johnson was credited with the victory for the Orioles.

Blames High Budget On G.O.P. Senate GREENCASTLE, Ind. (UPDRep. Birch Bayh Jr., Speaker of the Indiana House, today defended wholesale cuts the House made in the budget and blamed the Senate for restoring the budget to a record billion dollars. Speaking to a joint meeting of the Greencastle Kiwanis and Rotary clubs on the DePauw University campus,, the West Terre Haute Democrat said >the original budget submitted by Governor Handley to the recently adjourned j Legislature was “bdlated” with 1 patronage. . ; But he said it did not provide 1 sufficient funds to take care of j the food and drug needs of state mental institutions, nor did it pro- . vide enough money to take care , of me expected increase in school , enrollments. “I rather suspect that he was , well aware of these needs and j wanted the Assembly to increase his budget so that he would be in a position to say: ‘I tried to keep j the budget down’,” Bayh said. Bayh said the House “took , dramatic action” to force a better look at the budget by Imposing 1 down-the-line cuts of up to 35 per i Gent in all departments of govern- • ment. * “What happened in the Senate?” ’ he asked. “Virtually every House : cut in patronage funds was re- ; stored, but the money we had added for return to local communities for their schools was reduced by ■ five million dollars. When the Senate got done with the governor's budget, it was 11 million dollars higher than when the governor originally submitted it.” Bayh said he believed' “a reasonable and ’ J workable” state budget was enacted, especially in view of the fact that the Legislature was divided in control between Republicans and Democrats. “I wish we could have made ; stick our cuts in the bloated patronage areas of state government, but that wasn’t possible with the Senate under the control of the administration party, which also controlled most of the state’s patronage,” he said. Accept Applications For Civil Service The United States Civil Service Commission announced today that j applications will be accepted until $5985 per year: GS-11, $7030 per year; GS-12, $8330 per year. Full information and instructions concerning the examination and how to apply may be obtained from the commission’s local secirotery, Francis R.

Higgins Hopes Power To Carry Red Sox Higher EDITORS NOTE: This is the 16th and last dispatch on the prospects of major league clubs for 1959. By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press International SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (UPD—If it’s power you want in the batting order, the Red Sox have plenty to spare. And if their pitching holds up this year. Manager Mike Higgins thinks the club will do pretty well. “We’ll win more games than last season but I don’t know if we’ll finish higher or not,” Mike says of his third-place crew. “We have lots of power and I'm looking for improved work by our pitchers.” The batting order has more voltage than a keg of Jersey lightning. What pitcher could feel secure when he has to face this array? Mighty Ted Williams, who won his sixth American League batting title last year; Pete Runnels, who placed second to him; Jackie Jensen, the American League's Most Valuable Player who led the loop with 122 runs batted in; Vic Wertz, who arrived from Cleveland in a trade and still has lots of sock; third baseman Frank Malzone, who was hitting over .300 until a late season slump made him finish at .295. Has Three Problems Higgins’ biggest worry is getting his pitching in shape, decidin whether rookie Jerry (Pumpsie) Green should oust the veteran Don Buddin from shortstop, and replacing Jim Piersail, the star center fielder who was traded to Cleveland. “Tom Brewer should win 18 or 20 for us,” Higgins says of his veteran right hander who was 12-12 last year. “He was weakened from having tire mtftnps last year before coming to spring training, and won seven straight after having a 1-5 mark.” Mike also thinks that Frank Sullivan (13-9) also is capable of a better season. Ivan Delock (14-8), and left-hander Ted Bowsfield (4-2) also figure prominently, while Dave Sisler (£-9) may be used both as a starter and reliever. Malzone, who led the American League third basemen in chances accepted last season, is set at 'third base while Dick Gernert, a j veteran Bosoxer, is ready to‘back up Wertz at first. Pete Runnels, . who roared back from, a bad 195? dump at Washington, is Higgins’ second baseman but it’s a short stop’ where a good battle is going on. Green Challenes Buddin Buddin always has been the artistic fielder but never too strong with the bat, having a lifetime mark of .238. He has been strongly challenged by Green, a switchhitter who is the first Negro to wear Boston flannels. Green batted .253 at Minneapolis last year and fielded a sharp .993.

They include Marty Keough, one of the club's numerous bonus players; Gene Stephens, who. cost the Sox nothing, and Jim Busby, a veteran who was obtained from Cleveland. Gary Geiger, another ex-Indaln, also figures in the land rush for center and also could be used to back Up Jensen. Green is about the only rookie to make much of a splash in the camp where Higgins will depend upon tested men to give Boston a contender. Other players who figure prominently in his plans are southpaw relief artist Leo Kiely and righthander Herb Moford, the catching duo of Sammy White and Pete Daley, and Billy Consolo, the utility holler guy.
