Like A|I-Star PLAYER,
PAGES Warriors Win
BY the Associated Press

Joe Fulks, 6-foot 5-inch star of
the Philadelphia Warriors in the
National Basketball Association,
has designs on making the all-star
team for a fourth straight season.
For the past three, the 27-year-
old forward averaged 23.5 points
per game and that was just about
his speed last night as Joe led the
Warriors to a $3.50 triumph over
the Boston Celtics.
Despite the fact that Fulks was
out Of the second half is minutes
for committing five personal fouls,
the brilliant veteran was the high
scorer with % points.
It was a well needed triumph
for the Philadelphians for even
now their record shows only three
wins against five defeats. The
team is fourth in the leagues
Eastern Division.
Lakers' Surge Whips Bombers.
The game in Philadelphia was q
real thriller. at least most of the
way. It was deadlocked a dozen
times. The Celtics. Eastern Divi-
sion tailenders, led for most Of the
first half but, with the score 74-all
they permitted the W>Nrriors to
register 10 straight points. Fulks
& Co. held sway through the late
stages.
The homecoming Of the Mime
apolis Lakers. who entertained
the st. Louis Bombers, was q big
success. Thanks to 4 fourth-quar-
ter bombardment during which
the winners rang up a near-rec-
ord II points, the host squad pre-
vailed by 94:71.
The last quarter had hardly
got under way with the Lakers
ahead. 57-56, when Jim Pollard
and Herman Schafer opened the
remarkable drive that slnothered
st. Louis. It was the fifth success
in six starts for Minneapolis, the
central division pacemakers.
Stays Take Sixth In Row.
The Chicago Stays won their
sixth straight game at the ex-
pense OF the visiting Fort Wayne
Pistons, 85-72. The victors, al
ways in front, thus displaced their
Indiana victims as the second
place team in the central division.
The Denver Nuggets remained
winless in nine starts in bowing
to the Washington Capitols, 1890,
at Washington.

Officially. it was a 47-yard

Harry Gilmer and a 4-yard

it was almost a 60-yard throw

10 yards behind the line Of

How does a player apparent

such power? Harry doesn't
know and Coach Herman Ball
doesn't pretend to have any
theory, except that Gilmer isn't
as fragile or small as he looks.

More people can't get tickets for

You may have the IS asking

The game will be played No.

Steve returned to Montreal in

important item was not in the
old code.
Another rule which for almost
a century has permitted the home
team manager to decide whether
his team should bat first or last
was erased. Under the new regu-
lation the home team bats last.
Umpire Tom Connolly of the
American League. who has been
around quite while. said he never
heard Of a manager wanting to bat
first. but that the home club has
had that right since baseball was
invented.
Another far-reaching decision
was that a manager desiring to
protest a game over an umpire's
decision must do so before play
is resumed. Under present Amer
lean League rules such a protest
may be made any time before the
club leaves the field, while in the
National a protest may be lodged
anytime within "a hours after the
contest.
Warren Giles, general manager
Of the Cincinnati Reds, and Pres
ident Frank Shaughnessy of the
international League attempted to
get into the rule a bit of what
Commissioner Chandler termed
football courtesy"
The proposal by the two commit
tee members would give the man
ager Of the non-protesting team
the right to waive the penalty"
and have the play called the way
