VACATIONING !?
Try a TWo-Year-Old

At Corning, however. we
ran into the boon of the
working man and the bane
of the vacationer-the six

only day of the week the dis

gorge, bordered by steps and
walks that go up. up. up. Our
mistake was in following the
steps and walks.
Did you ever see a diver go
of a l00-foot tower into a
vat of water? Well. that's the
career our daughter obvious
ly has in mind. There can be
no doubt as to her inclination
and courage. She demon
strated both adamantly that

lock was all that kept her
from showing her form.

Despite the hazard of a

on having a child along.

As Injuries Stop
Risen, Nichols

The Boston Celtics, driving
steadily toward their first Ma
tional Basketball Association di-
visional crown, today were faced
with the lengthy loss of three
of the men vital to the club.
In opening their Eastern Di-
vision lead yesterday to four
games by defeating Fort Wayne,
1882, the Celtics lost the serv-
ices of veterans Arnie Risen and
Jack Nichols. Risen suffered a
fracture of the wrist and will be
out for at least six weeks; Mich
olds sprained his ankle and is
a questionable starter Tuesday
when the Bostonians begin a
four-game road trip. Dick Hem
ric is already out of the lineup
with a double sprain of his right
ankle.
Philadelphia, the Celtics
closest Eastern pursuer, lost to
last-place Syracuse. 128-123. In
other games. Rochester moved
into first place in the West with
a 1886 victory over st. Louis and
New York handed Minneapolis
its fifth setback in a row. ILL.,

Bill Russell. already estab-
lished as a defensive phenom,
was instrumental in the Boston
win and likely will step into the
starting lineup with the loss of
the Celt trio. Russell scored 10
points and pulled down 81 re-
bounds against the Pistons. In
the third period the Pistons
closed to within 1877, but the
Celts rang up Is straight points
to put the game out of reach.
Bob Cousy of Boston was high
for the contest with 20 points.
Togo Palazzi proved the spark
in Syracuse's victory over the
Warriors. Palazzi picked up II
of his % points in the final
period to shut off a Warrior rally
that brought them to within
three points late in the game.
Paul Arizin. Philadelphia S
acrobatic forward. led the
scorers with 81 points.
Rochester. led by tall Art
Spoelstra and nimble Ed Flem-
ing pulled away from the Hawks
in the last six minutes to win.
The Hawks Bob Petit had SO
points.
Seven players hit in double
figures as the Knicks had to
fight off a fourth-quarter Lakers
bid. With ga to go, the score
was 96-9l, but Sweetwater Cliff

New Workers. Sears wound up
with 26 points. Minneapolis
Clyde Lovellette was high
with 90.

Washington's new center, Jackie
Hamilton, broke away midway
in the 10-minute sudden death
overtime period.
Hamilton. a 35-year-oid Ma
tional League veteran. bore down
on Les Binkley, the Charlotte
goalie, but the red-haired net
tender met the challenge sue
cessfully. After the game, Ham
ilton explained that he and
Binkley played on the same club
in Kitchener three years ago and
Hamilton had spent hour after
hour practicing lofting the puck
to the top Of the net.
Binkley remembered when
Hamilton cut loose yesterday and
Charlotte salvaged its first tie
of the season. Binkley also
stopped the Lions Danny Nor
gan in the closing seconds on a
three-man break.
1t was a fast, well-played game
that had the fans in an uproar
from beginning to end. Jack
Spencer. the Washington goalie,
turned in another terrific game
in the nets as he set new Uline
Arena record by stopping the
puck SO times-59 during the
regulation three periods.
Bibber O'Hearn scored twice
in the opening period while
Bernie Bernaquez, the Lions
sharpshooting French-Canadian,
was beating Binkley once to give
Charlotte a 2-1 lead.

scored on a pass from Hamilton
and Doug Adams registered for
the Clippers in the middle
stanZa.
Then Hamilton, a former To-
ronto Maple Leafs performer
who Joined Washington from
Troy of the International League,
scored his first goal with the
Lions to knot the count at 3-all

winger. who went in all alone.
