Lakers Score First Victory In Playoff LOS ANGELES (UPD—The Los Angeles Lakers trailed the Boston Celtics by one game today as the teams took a breather in the best-of-seven National Basketball Association (NBA) championship series. The Lakers scored a 119-99 victory in the third game Wednesday night, leaving the Celtics ahead in the series'by two games to one. Boston won the first two games on its home court Sunday and Tuesday. The fourth game will be played at the Los Angeles Sports Arena Friday night. The game is already a sell-out so a closed circuit television has been set up at two Los Angeles theaters where the overflow faithful can witness the game. Tickets are priced at $2.50. Wednesday night's crowd of 15,493 was a record basketball gathering for the Sports Arena. The old mark was 15,212 set April 7 when the Lakers met the St. Louis Hawks in a Western Division NBA playoff game. Jerry West — with considerable assistance from team mate Elgin Baylor — was a one-man wild west show in Wednesday night’s Laker victory. He topped all point-makers with 42—on 17 field goals and 8 free throws. West was a tiger on the boards with eight rebounds and was particularly effective in the final quarter when the Lakers moved into their biggest lead of the night. The Lakers outscored the Celtics, 36-19 in the final period. Baylor had a total of 38 ppints and grabbed 23 rebounds. The Celtics’ Bill Russell was held to 19 rebounds —a comedown considering his 38 when the Celtics beat the Lakers 113-106 at Boston Tuesday night. ■ , Sam Jones was the siege-gun for the Celtics. He scored 30 points on 12 field goals. He hit eight for eight from the freethrow line.

Two Os Pro Football Stars Are Suspended NEW YORK (UPD—Most National Football League officials, including Vince Lombardi of the world champion Green Bay Packers, today agreed that the indefinite suspensions handed two of the pro game’s greatest stars for betting on games were fully warranted. Pete Rozelle, once labeled “a tool” of the pro league’s club owners, proved to be an iron-fist-ed commissioner Wednesday when he barred Paul Hornung of the Packers, regarded as the most versatile player in football history, and Alex Karras, star defensive tackle of the Detroit LionsThe 37-year-old NFL commissioner also fined five other Detroit players $2,000 each for betting on the 1962 league championship game and the Detroit club was fined $4,000 for failing to heed reports of its players’ gambling activities. Lombardi, coach and general manager of the Packers, was ‘‘shocked and hurt" when he learned of Hornung’s suspension but he admitted Rozelle had no alternative. ‘‘There is no evidence of criminal intent; that is, the shaving of points and so forth,” Lombardi said. ‘However, there was a definite violation of the player contract and the constitution and bylaws of the league in regard to gambling, which is punishable by suspension.” Sees Stronger League Art Modell, president of the Cleveland Browns, said the suspensions “mean that the NFL will be stronger than ever before because of Rozelle’s decisions. It should serve as a strong deterrent in the future.” Other officials who praised the commissioner's decisions included Jack Mara, president of the New York Giants and George Halas, long-time owner-coach of the Chicago Bears. Coach Buddy Parker of the Pittsburgh Steelers said he believed individual National Football League coaches- should show more concern over the association players cultivate off the field -and described the suspensions as “unfortunate.” William Clay Ford, president of the Lions, said Rozelle’s ruling “was slow ip coming and rough when it got here.” He added, “we feel the ruling was harsh and assume the players feel it was harsh.” Hornung, the NFL’s player-of-the-year in 1961 and a three-time league scoring champion, admitted he made t‘a foolish mistake” and said, “I just hope and pray the suspension will be lifted after next season.” Karras wasn’t quite as gracious in accepting his penalty. “This is guilt by association and innuendo,” said the 250pound lineman, who is 28, a year older than Horning. “I’m not guilty and I’ve done nothipg to be ashamed of.” Both suspended players said - they -had-no plans until. 1964. when their cases will be reviewed by Rozelle. They had hoped to continue playing football elsewhere, but officials of the American Football League and the Canadian leagues said they would honor the NFL suspensions. May Turn Wrestler “Maybe I’ll go into wrestling for the rest of my life,” said Karras, who once wrestled professionally as “Killer Karras.” Rozelle. who revealed he “did much soul searching” before handing down his sweeping suspensions and fines, said all seven players involved “admitted the betting to us.’’ Hornung, an All-America quarterback at Notre Dame before he joined the pro ranks, was specifically charged with making bets on college and pro football games through a West Coast friend from 1959 through 1961. The wagers ranged from SIOO to SSOO a game. Except for one season, in which he won $1,500, Hornung broke approximately even on his gambling, Rozelle revealed. The facts of the Karras case are somewhat different than those which hung Hornung- Karras was not an habitual gambler but he consorted with individuals described by Detroit police as “known hoodlums.” 1116 Lions’ tackle, though, did make at least six significant bets on NFL games since 1958. One of Karras’ last bets was a SIOO wager on last season’s • NFL title game between the Packers and the Giants. Fiye of his teammates — John Gordy, Gary Lowe, Joe Schmidt, Wayne Walker and Sam Williams bet SSO on the same contest. They all won their bets — they bet correctly on the Packers—but they wound up paying stiff penalties.

Jackets Edge Portland In 111nnings Greg Ladd scored on a passed ball with two out in the eleventh inning to give the Decatur Yellow Jackets their first victory of the spring baseball campaign, as the local nine downed Portland, 4-3, at Worthman Field Wednesday afternoon. I Portland had scored a run in the fourth inning to knot the score | at 3-3, and Denny Cookson of Decatur and Tom McDaniel of Port-' land then began throwing goose-' eggs, as the two clubs battled scoreless until Decatur pushed the winning across in the eleventh inning. With two out in the last of the eleventh, Ladd drew a base on balls. Bob Ladd kept the rally going with a douole, advanced brother Greg to third base. McDaniel's first pitch to Tom Maddox got away from Iliff, the Portland catcher, and coach Bill McColly’s club went to the clubhouse with their first victory against one loss. Lead Early Decatur took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Maddox. John Custer beat out a dribbler along ‘he third base line and Max Elliott walked. Greg Ladd sacrificed the runners to second and third, and after Bob Ladd popped up, Maodox cracked a sharp single over the second baseman’s head. Portland tied the score off starting hurler Dave Gay with two runs in the third frame on a walk, sacrifice, Decatur’s only error of the extended game a fielder's choice and a single by Williams. Regain Lead Elliott gave Decatur the lead in i the home half of the third when be walked and scored, as Bob Ladd and Maddox followed with a double and single, respectively. Portland came right back in tho fourth to tie the score again, as Dave Bennett led off with a triple and scored cm a sacrifice. That was the last hit the visitors got, however, as Cookson allowed only one base runner through the next seven innings, a walk to Glasgow in the sixth. Cookson . wKfed 12 batters enroute to the win. 1 Decatur missed a gclden opportunity to score in the fourth when Cookson led off with a triple, but couldn't score.
