Victorian state government or
the Olympic organizing commit
tee.
Menzies blamed the Victorian
government for refusing to find

gather for the games.
He said the Victorian govern
ment had not replied to the
commonwealth suggestion that
an Olympic village Of 600 houses
be built in 1855 and Sc under
the normal commonwealth hous-
ing financial arrangements. This
is sufncient. he said, for building
5000 houses in Victoria annu-
ally.
The Prime Minister added: II
do not propose to depart from
sound practices just because
some one pops up and says. I
must have an answer by Fri
day"
He referred to a statement by
Interior Minister Wilfred Kent
Hughes. former Olympic athlete
and now a member of the Olym-
pic Organizing Committee.
Hughes said that If a housing
site is not guaranteed by Friday,
he would recommend that Aus
tralia inform the International

Knicks Start Quest
OF NBA Title With
Win Over Bullets
LITTLE SPORT
BY the A.soeiassd Press

The New York Knickerdock
who have made. the playoffs
every year since they've entered
the league, were OF and running
today in quest of their first Ma
tional Basketball Association
championship.
Joe Lapchick's New Workers
always have been stopped some
where along the line In the
playoffs. Last year, 1t couldn't
have been any closer. They lost
the final series to the Mime
apolis Lakers in seven games.
It could wind up with the same
two teams again. They won
their respective division titles
and the Knicks began their pre-
liminary three-game playoH set
with the Baltimore Bullets last
night by walloping Clair Bees
charges. 80-62.
Now the two teams go to Balti-
more for the second game to-
morrow. The third, If necessary,
will be played in New York Sat-
urday.
Connie Simmons was the. big
boy for the Knicks with Is
points, followed by Sweetwater
Clifton with 20. The KnickS
looked wobbly for the first half,
but found the basket in the third
and fourth quarters to pull away
after leading by only 1892 at
the half.
AL MCGUIRE collided with Jim
Baechtold in the first half and
retired, his broken jaw hurt
again even though it was en-
caSed in a mask. Brother Dick,
though, returned to the lineup
and played impressively.
The Bullets were without their
top scorer. Don Barksdale. but
he'll probably play tomorrow.
Baechtold took up some Of the
slack and tailed II points for
the Bullets.
Except for playoff game for
fourth place between the Indian
apolis Olympians and the Mil
waukee Hawks, the season ended
officially last night with Syracuse
defeating Boston, 1858, in a
playof for second place in the
Eastern Division: Milwaukee
stopping Fort Wayne, 87-61, and
Minneapolis edging Indianapolis,

talked with the Dodgers official.
Horace Stoneham, president
Of the New York Giants, also has
been reported in opposition.
However, he was quoted before
leaving Los Angeles as saying:
IF the change goes through, as
I suppose it will, how could a
club based in Milwaukee operate
under a schedule drawn up for
Boston?"
Stoneham apparently didn't
know that the league president
Warren Giles, already had 9
tentative schedule, ready to sub
NIT to the owners today, substi-
tuting Milwaukee for Pittsburgh
in the Western Division and CIV
ing Pittsburgh the original Bos-
ton schedule. That, of course
would be subject to league ap-
proval.
Two Schools of Thought.
There were two opposing
schools of thought on what to
expect at the meetings. One
group believed the owners would
follow the American Leaguers
and turn down any move at this
late date.
Another group insisted this
was an entirely different matter,
pointing out that Perrin is very
popular with other club owners
who have expressed sympathy
for his million-plus financial re-
verses in Boston.
If the American Association
should refuse to approve the
transfer of Boston to Milwaukee,
the National League could
draft" the territory, paying
damages to the league. # they
were unable to agree on damages,
a seven-man arbitration board
would set the price. AS this
board would have a maximum of
80 days to make its ruling, the
matter could still be hanging
fire by opening day, April 10.
In the midst of all the excite
ment, word came from Boston
that A. Maurice ReubenS, real
estate dealer, had contact d
Perrin with an offer from an I'M
disclosed syndicate to buy the
Braves franchise, ball park and
farm holdings.
If the Braves do move to Mil
waukee the club will play in the
new county-owned $4,000, 900
double-decked park with q seat
ing capacity of close to 10000.
In fact, General Manager John
Quinn of the Braves revealed adj
vance ticket sales for the Mil
waukee minor league team al
ready were over 100000 while
Boston's sale was 30 per cent be-
low the poor 1852 advance.
