Celtics Take 2-0 Lead In NBA Playoff BOSTON (UPD — The Boston Celtics packed a commanding lead into their suitcases today and headed for St. Louis—where they could win their third straight National Basketball Association playoff crown this weekend. The Celtics, looking like old smoothies after overcoming firsthalf woes, raced to a 116-108 win Wednesday night and now lead the Hawks. 2-0, in the best-of-seven championship series. The third and fourth games, both to be televised, will be at St. Louis Saturday and Sunday afternoons. "We're really hurting now.” admitted Hawks coach Paul Seyi mour. "There’s no doubt about that. All we can do now is give 1 'em all we’ve got in St. Louis.” Bars Newsmen Seymour met sports writers at the Hawks’ dressing room door after the game. He explained that ' the players had requested him to ' keep the writers out. It was the | first time’ a dressing room had been closed to writers here in some time. Lennie Wilkens, collared as he was leaving the room later, was asked if it would be "a different story” in the Hawks’ home town. "It better be,” was all the rookie from Providence College had to say. Most of the Celtics players counted on splitting the two games in St: Louis and wrapping up their fourth title in five years next Tuesday night back at Boston Garden. Bob Cousy thought that a great opening half by St. Louis was, strangely enough, their downfall. Cliff Hagan and Bob Pettit combined for 36 points and 24 rebounds in the opening two periods though Boston rallied to lead by one at intermission. “I’ve never seen them hustle so much out there as they did in that first half,” said Cousy. “But I think they played themselves out. No team can sustain what they were doing.” I Hagan, who had 33 points in the opener here Sunday, wound up i with 40, while Pettit contributed >3O. Cousy led the Celts with 26, i and Frank Ramsey, Sam Jones and Tommy Heinsohn all hit over 20 for Boston.

Mickey Vernon Hopeful Over New Senators By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sperta Editor POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (UPI) —Finishing last was pretty much of a habit with the old Washington Senators. Mickey Vernon, making his major league managerial debut, promises it isn't going to be that way with the new club in the nation’s capital. Vernon won’t predict where the club isgoing to finish. All he will say is: “We are going to be a lot better than most people think. We’ll surprise some of the big clubs, not once, but several times.” He only grins when general manager Ed Doherty maintains the new Senators are good enough to finish as high as fifth in the expanded 10-team American League. Doherty feels his club can bzat out the old Senators, who moved to what they hope will be greener pastures in Minneapolis and St. Paul. All the new Senators have to go with, however, are castoffs who came pretty high — 875,000 each in the American League club can beat out the old Senators and the Los Angeles Angels. Small Winners Os the 15 pitchers they acquired, 12 have seen major league service but all of them put together last year won only 46 games in the majors. Some of them, perhaps, did not get a good shot at it and they may do better if given regular work. That’s what Vernon hopes and Doherty believes. When he talks of his team Vernon cites his pitching and his outfield as the club’s strongest departments. He will build his pitching staff around Dick Donovan, 6-1, with the White Sox; Pete Burnside, 7-7 with the Tigers; Tom Sturdivant, 3-3 with the Red Sox, Bennie Daniels, 1-3 with Pittsburgh and 4-9 with Columbus; Dave Sisler, 7-5 with the Tigers; Ray Semproch. 3-0 with the Tigers and 11-2 at Spokane: Hal Woodeshick, 4-5 with the old Senators; Marty Kutyna, 3-2 with the Athletics; iJohn Gabler, 3-3 with the Yan'kees, and Rudy Hernandez, 4-1 with the old Senators. Sure Starters Donovan, Burnside and Daniels are sure to get starting roles with Sisler the No. l_.bullpen man. Sturdivant and Klippstein can be used both for starting and relief. Hernandez and Kutyna have been strictly relievers. Woodeshick and Gabler may be used as starters or middle inning hurlers. Also on the hurling staff are Ed Hobaugh, 11-11 at San Diego, and Joe McClain, 11-14 at Charleston. It isn’t an impressive array, by any means. Pete Daley, who hit .263 with the Atthletics; Gene Green, .250 with the Orioles, and Henry Dotterer, .228 with the Reds and .321 with Jersey City, are the catchers. Daley probably will see the most action. Gene Woodling, who at 38 is still one of the most feared hitters in the business, will play left field as much as he can, for the Senators will need his bat in the lineup. Willie Tasby, .212 with the Orioles and .281 with the Red Sox, figures to be in center wth Marty Keough. .248 with both the Red Sox and Indians, in right. That leaves Joe Hicks, .191 with the White Sox and .303 with San Diego, and Jim King, .287 at Toronto, in reserve. Infield Candidates There are at least two players for each infield spot. ’ Dale Long, who hit .366 with theYankoes as a pinch-hitter and part-time performer, and R. C. Stevens, the former Pirate who batted .276 at Vancouver, have been sharing first base duty. At second it’s a fight between Chet Boak, .154 with the Athletics and .292 with Shreveport, and the veteran Danny O’Connell, signed as a free agent after hitting .312 at Tacoma. Coot Veal, who hit .297 with the Tigers and .302 with Denver, could wind up with the shortstop job. with the veteran Billy Klaus, .209 with the Orioles, behind him. Klaus also..can play second or third. Jim Mahoney, .236 at Minneapolis, is another shortstop candidate. Harry Bright, who hit .313 at Salt Lake City, has third base all to himself, but can expect a helping hand from both Klaus and O’Connell, if they aren't playing elsewhere. It’s hard to set where the new Senators measure up to major league caliber in any department, but they may have enough to escape the cellar. .' * *

Giants Appear Set For Fast Season Start By FRED DOWN By United Press International If you’re looking for a team geared for a fast getaway in next week's pennant races, look no farther than the San .Francisco Giants. It’s clear that new manager Alvin Dark looks for a fast start to make San Francisco fans forget the sour finishes of 1959 and 1960, and the team seems ready to provide just that. It has reeled off eight victories in its last 11 games and it’s getting that encouraging smooth blend of solid pitching and robust hitting. The Giants ’’said it” with pitching Wednesday when Mike McCormick and Stu Miller combined in a six-hitter that gave them a 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. McCormick, the National League’s earned run leader with a .270 mark in 1960, allowed five hits for the first seven innings and Miller pitched out of an eighth-inning jam and went on to protect the shutout. Don Blasingame, mentioned prominently in a possible trade with the Cincinnati Reds this spring, homered for the Giants in the fifth inning and they added another run in the seventh on Tom Haller’s double, a sacrifice and an error. Stan Williams and Larry Sherry pitched for the Dodgers. The Chicago White Sox, another 1960 disappointment, got an important lift when Early Wynn and Gerry Staley hurled them to a 3-1 decision over the Kansas City Athletics. The White Sox broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning with the aid of Ed Rakow’s wildness. The world champion Pittsburgh Pirates saw one of their front-line pitchers ’’bombed” again when the Detroit Tigers clubbed out a 12-8 triumph. Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell was ripped for 11 runs and 14 hits in six innings by Detroit’s 15-hit attack, which included homers by Bubba Morton, Dick Gernert and Rocky Colavito. Jim Bunning went the distance i for the Tigers although tagged for ,jl2 hits.
