Warriors Rack Up Celtics By 115-91 SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Now that they know they can beat the Boston Celtics once, the San Francisco Warriors today were wondering if they couldn't do it three more times. The Warriors belted Boston with a 40-point first quarter and went on to a 115-91 triumph over the defending champions Wednesday night before 10,981 fans at the Cow Palace. That left Boston ahead in the best-of-seven series, 2-1. The Celts won the first two contests at Boston in the same lop-sidad manner that San Francisco showed Wednesday night. They meet here again Thursday night and Sunday in Boston in a fifth meeting. Every Warrior starter turned in a good game Wednesday night. Wilt Chamberlain scored 35 and outplayed Boston’s Bill Russell for the first time in the playoffs although the bearded Boston great still outrebounded Wilt, 32-25. But Chamberlain tossed in 35 points. Tom Mes chery hooped 17 in that hot first quarter and ended up with 21 for the night. Nate Thurmond, who played poorly in the first two playoff games, rolled in 14 points while holding Boston’s Tom Heinsohn |o just eight. Only John Havlicek and Willie Naulls brought their shooting eyes out West as they netted 22 and 18. Russell had 16.

Dodgers Lose 7th Straight To Cardinals By' MILTON RICHMAN UN Sports Writer This is to confirm that the Dodgers are still in the National League — although just barely. Off to theiy worst start in 41 years, the woebegone world champions are dead last. Yup, even behind Casey Stengel’s mixed-up Mets. The same Los Angeles club that swept the Yankees four straight in the World Series only seven months ago has now lost seven games in a row. Even worse, they may have lost their southpaw ace, Sandy Koufax, for an indefinite period. Koufax, who pitched the Dodgers to their only victory thus far in the season opener nine days ago, was forced to leave with a slight muscle tear in his left forearm Wednesday night after working one inning. Sandy gave up a three-run homer to Charley James in the first inning and the St Louis Cardinals went on to beat the Dodgers, 7-45. It was the second setback of the season for Koufax, who lost only five games all last year while winning 25, but that wasn’t the chief concern. • • Concern Over Arm The big worry is Koufax’ arm. Cardinal physician Dr. I. C. Middleman, who examined it Wednesday night and found an inflammation of the left elbow besides the muscle tear. After Koufax left, Carl Warwick’ tagged reliever Phil Ortega for a two-run homer in the third inning and Bill White homered with the bases empty off Bob Miller in the seventh for what proved to be the clincher. Frank Howard and Willie Davis connected for the Dodgers. Left-hander Curt Simmons reeled off his second straight victory although he needed help from Roger Craig in the seventh. The Dodgers’ sorry 1-7 getaway is their poorest since 1923 when they dropped nine of their first’J2Mhd Wound up sixth ip an eight-team league. Willey McCovey belted three successive homers in leading San Francisco to an 8-6 triumph over’ Milwaukee while Houston blanked Cincinnati in other NL games. Rain washed out the Cubs-Mets contest and the Pirates-Phillies contest. AL Action In the American League, Whitey Ford posted his 200th major league victory by pitching the Yankees to a 3-0 win over the White Sox, the Twins beat the Senators, 7-6, and the Los Angeles Angels nipped the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. The BostonBaltimore and Cleveland-Kan-sas City games were postponed by rain. McCovey drove in four runs ■for the Giants with his three, homers against the Braves and he didn’t play any favorites. He socked his first one in ihe second inning off loser Denny Lemaster, his second off Tony Cloninger in the third frame and his third off rookie Phil Niekro in the fifth. Joe Torre hit a pair off ex-teammate Bob Hendley, the winning pitcher. A crowd of 38,693, Milwaukee's largest since Aug. 11, 1961, watched the Braves drop their home opener. Bob Bruce and Skinny Brown teamed up to produce the Colts’ shutout over the Reds. Bruce, who was the winner and who gave up all five Cincy hits, left in the ninth after walking leadoff man Frank Robinson. Rookie Jerry Grote tripled home the only run Houston needed in the .second inning. Loser Joey Jay gave up five hits in the six innings he worked. Reinstate Low Fare On Erie To Chicago W. M. Bumgerdner, Erie-Lack-awanna railroad agent, was notified today that the special low round trip fare to Chicago Sunday for the White Sox baseball game has been reinstated. The offer of the special rate, $5.85, had been withdrawn earlier in the week because of the threatened railroad strike, but with settlement of the dispute, the rate has been reinstated. Hockey Results International League Final Playoff Fort Wayne 7, Toledo 0. (Best of seven series tied, 2-2).

Whitey Ford Pitches 200th Win Os Career By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Whitey Ford’s memory may be rusty but there’s no tarnish, around his left arm. The doughty little Yankee southpaw used it Wednesday night to record the 200th victory of his major league career with a neat six - hit 3-0 triumph over the Chicago White Sox, against whom he also achieved his first win 14 years ago. Ford Remembered that first victory against them in July of 1950 but said, “I don’t know the score — *1 think it was 2-1 or 3-1 or something like that.” Actually, it was 4-3, and the 35-year-old Ford, who was only 21 at the time, needed help from Tom Ferrick in the eighth inning. Whitey didn’t need any help Wednesday night and he even admitted that he eased up a little after Clete Boyer broke a scereless tie with a fifth inning homer off loser Gary Peters. Boyer’s blow was the Yankees’ first homer of the season. Never In Trouble Elston Howard scored New York’s second run on a wild pitch by Peters in the seventh and then singled home Bobby Richardson in the eighth. Ford, never in any serious trouble, walked only one batter and struck out two in pitching the 35th shutout of his big league career. < The Los Angeles Angels came from behind to nip the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, and the Minnesota Twins defeated the Washington Senators, 7-6, in other American League action. Ra t n washed out the Boston - Baltimore game and the ClevelandKansas City contest. Willie McCovey supplied the big noise in the National League by blasting three homers in San Francisco’s 8-6 win k over Milwaukee. The Cardinals handed the world champion Dodgers their seventh straight loss, 7-6, and Houston blanked Cincinnati, 2-0. The Cubs and Mets were washed out along with the Pirates and Phillies. Jim Fregosi’s ninth inning double tied the score for the Angels and Lee Thomas’ single won the game after Detroit starter Hank Aguirre had limited Los. Angeles to one run and three hits through eight innings. Bo Belinsky started for the Angels and blanked the Tigers until the eighth when they deadlocked the score at 1-all. Jack Spring was the winner and Dave Wickersham the loser, Scores Winning Run Zoilo Versalles scampered home with the winning run for the Twins in the eighth inning on a passed ball by rookie catcher Mike Brumley of the Senators. Versalles had been walked by loser Marshall Bridges and advanced to third on a single by Bernie Allen. % It was a tough loss for the Senators, who had jumped.« on Jim Kaat for four runs in the first inning. Homers by rookie Tony Oliva, Rich Rollins and Don Mincher enabled the Twins to forge ahead, 6-4, but the Senators rallied to tie the score in the top of the eighth with the aid of Bill Skowron’s third homer of the season. Minnesota Manager Sam Mele employed seven pitchers and the sixth one, Bill Pleis, was credited with the victory,

NFL Announces Grid Schedule For '64 Season NEW YORK (UPl)—The National Football League today announced the schedule for Its 1964 season, the one where it starts cashing in that rich television contract, and it included several new ideas. While hoping for a season “similarly ‘competitive” to 1963 when both division titles were settled on the last day, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle disclosed a schedule which includes: A night game opener in the Cotton Bowl, Sept. 12, between Dallas and St. Louis. Three natttfrjally televised games, included a Chicago Bears-Detroit Lions pairing on Thanksgiving Day that shatters the old Detroit vs. Green Bay turkey day tradition. p First In History And such items as New York’s first home night game in 26 years, St. Louis’ first home night game in history, and a couple of Monday night games. Come what may, of course, the whole league will be reaping revenue at a record rate, for this is the first year of the two-year NFL contract with Columbia Broadcasting System under which CBS pays $14.1 million per season for the league television rights. The three games to be nationally telecast are considered by the schedule-makers among the top attractions of the season, the first is the Chicago-De-troit Thanksgiving Day clash. Second TV Game Green Bay at Chicago is the second nationwide telecast on the next-to-last Saturday of the season. The Packers were runnerup to the world champion Bears last season in the Western Division race. The final Saturday of the season will match Cleveland, the 1963 Eastern runner-up, and first-place New York at Yankee Stadium, Those three national telecasts on CBS-TV will be in addition to the regular weekly Sunday coverage of all NFL games under the two-year contract signed in January. ' The championship game will be played Dec. 27 in the' home of the Eastern Division champion. Alleys Available For Open Bowling Some alleys will be available for open bowling at Villa Lanes Thursday and Friday nights, as women league bowlers are competing in the WIBC tourney on those dates. Six lanes will be open after 9 o’clock Thursday night, and four will be open after 6:30 p.m. Friday.

two-team buttles with Hicksville, 0., and Parkway, O. The local squad will be back in action this afternoon, traveling to Leo for a dual match. Spietzer, of Portland won three events, both hurdle races and the 100-yard dash, to lead his team to victory. He also ruined another record-breaking run by Decatur’s two high hurdlers, Craig McEwan and Buster Melchi. McEwan ran the high sticks in 16.1 seconds and Melchi in 16.4 but the two finished second and third, respectively. McEwan had set a new school record last week at 16.5 seconds, so both he and Melchi broke that record yesterday. — Whitaker Wins Mlle Whitaker turned in his best four laps of the season, winning the mile run in four minutes, 58.7 seconds. It was his first time under five minutes this season, as the junior continues to improve. Dave Hammond continued his shot put success, although the distance didn't approach the school record of 47-plus feet he set last week. His Wednesday’s toss of 42 feet, nine and one-fourth inches won the event. Melchi chalked up a blue ribbon in the broad jump, as did Kenny Riiffle in the 880-yard run.
