ST. LOUIS April 7 (AP).-
The st. Louis Hawks today
counted on the probable return
of Clyde Lovellette-back brace
and ALTO give them a much
needed life against the un-
matchable Boston Celtics in
pro basketball's World Series.
The 6-foot-9 Lovellette, who
averaged 203 points against the
Celtics during the regular sea-
son, will be available for duty
here tomorrow afternoon when
the best-of-7 National Basket
ball Association title playoff re-
sumes. The Hawks trail, 20.
Lovellette, out of action since
March q with a twisted back
suffered in the semifinal play
offs against the Lakers, has
been working out the last few
days.
Il feel fine" he said, "and
I'm itching to get back in there.
Personally, l think can play,
but I don't know how much
help l can be-"
Doctors Give Okay
The Hawks third best re-
bounder and scorer said the
doctors have given him the 60
ahead. provided he wear a stiff
brace on his back. Coach Paul
Seymour, who admits his
Hawks ARE hurting without the
big guy" has said he won't
risk permanent injury to Clyde,
just for the sake of putting him
back in the lineup.
Lovellette, who along with
Bob Petit and Cliff Hagan
form one of the most devaStat-
ing front lines in the NBA, said
he can't bend down with the
brace on and it may hinder his
jumping ability. But, he added
with a wide grin:

Bemon Sharp Off Tee, But Putter
F|utters in $3.50 First-Round 73
BY q Star Staff Writer

AUGUSTA, Ga, April IL
Oeane Beman has established
such a phenomenal reputation
rs a putter in winning the
British and United States ANA
teur championships that no.
body will believe him when he
aaS a very mediocre putting
round.
Beman played one Of the
finest tee-to-green rounds of
the first round of the Masters
yesterday, but posted an un-
sensational 37-36-73, one over
par. The only two puts he
made of any consequence were
to keep from three-putting the
first and sixth greens. One
was 8 feet, the other was 6.
Yet when Jack Nicklaus fin
lshed with his two-under-par
70, he said to Deane as he
Joined him in the clubhouse:
IF you had putted for me to-
day I would have shot so,
maybe 58." That was more
than Beman could take. Deane
needed only eight puts for
nine holes in winning the par
three tournament on WedneS-
day. He shot %.
Beman's 70 was low Of the
present and former Middle
Atlantic players.
Claude Wild of Burning
Tree tied Byron Nelson for the
days best start-birdie-birdie
but Claude then three-putted
three times, and missed a
couple of shots for a 38-40-78.
Chandler Harper, the Vir-
ginia Open champion from
Portsmouth, played par golf
for 10 holes but slipped and
turned his ankle on the 11th
tee.
He finished two over par
from there with 36-38-74.
Lew Worsham played the
par five holes in one over par,
which is not good here, and
still had a IA. He had three
brides, two of them on the
difficult 4th and 14th holes.
The course was a bit too long
for the old-timers. Columbia's
Freddie Mcleod and Jock
Hutchison, and they quit early.
Beman had only one birdie,
q three on the 10th, the result
of one of the great shots of
the day.
Deane and Gary Player, his
partner, both drove to the left
and had to bend second shots
around protruding trees. Player
hit a good shot, about 20 feet
from the stick.
Beman hooked a Six-iron
shot around the trees about
2 feet from the stick. great !
golf shot. The little putt was
treacherous, but he made it.
Beman was disappointed
only in his medium irons and |
in his putting. He complained
that he was not hitting his !
long puts square. He had 33 |
puts for the round, including |
three on the 18th, where his !
long first putt fell S feet
short. He said his 70 was a
far better round of golf than
his opening II of last year. l.

RedIegs, Fresh Out of Games at Milwaukee,
Will Have to Look Somewhere Else for Patsy
By the Associated Press

There was nothing wrong
with the Cincinnati Reds that
a trip to Milwaukee wouldn't
cure. The only trouble is, the
Reds are fresh out Of trips to
Milwaukee.
In their final game of the
season at County Stadium.
where they won nine of IL
starts. the Reds jolted a game
loose from the Braves in the
ninth inning. Vada Pinson,
breaking from third base with
the bases loaded. knocked the
ball out of Catcher Sammy
Whites glove yesterday for q
81 victory.
AS a result Of that triumph,
Cincinnati still holds a one
game edge on the Los Angeles
Dodgers, who thumped Phila-
delphia, 11-6, with an 18-hit
attack.
MarichaI Blanks Pirates
San Francisco's Juan Mar
ichal blanked Pittsburgh on
five hits, 20. the 10th shutout
for the defending National
League c h ampions. Chicago
knocked off st. Louis again,
80.
The season series between
the Reds and Braves now
stands 14-7 in favor of Gin
cinnati with only one game to
go. That will be played Sep
tember 13 at Cincinnati where
the Reds and Braves are SIS
for the year.
The speedy PinSon was the
difference yesterday. He opened
the ninth with a single and
took second on Frank Robin
sons single. After both men
moved up on an infield out.
Carl Wiley walked Gus Bell
Intentionally. loading the bases.
When Wiley took the full
windup on the first two pitches
to Pinch-hitter Jerry Lynch,
Pinson broke for the plate on
what started to be a triple
steal. Umpire Frank Dascoli
called Pinson out as White took ,
the pitch and applied the tag,
but quickly changed it when
the runners slide dislodged the
ball.
Bob Purkey claimed victory
No. 13 with a five-hit complete
game.
Hodges Homer Helps
The Dodgers had a real hit
carnival at Philadelphia, al
though Manager Walter Aston
had to use four pitchers to bail
himself out. Roger Craig. third
on the line, was the winner.
The veteran Gil Hodges came
through with three-run hon.
er in the fifth which put the |
Dodgers out in front to stay.
Four more runs in the eighth |
wrapped it up.
Marichal struck out eight |
Pirates and walked only three
in squaring his season record
at TT. Vinegar Bend Mizell,
losing his seventh straight,
gave up both Giant runs.
1t was Barney Schultz and
Bob Will again for the Cubs
against the Cards, just like
Wednesday. Schultz won again
in relief and Will came through
as a pinch-hitter to drive in
the winning run. This time
Will did it by drawing a walk
with the bases loaded. forcing
in the winner after Bob Gibson
also had walked Sammy Taylor
with the bases loaded, forcing
in the tying run.

amples of boys who looked
great in training camp. who
seemed to have all the ear

who stubbed their toes. 1t
makes you wonderland eau
tious-every time you see a
rookie make a good move in

there is one boy here, Fullback
Don Martis of Valparaiso, who
looks like a. little Bronko Ma
gurski on some plays. He's
carrying 230 pounds. not count
ing the football, and he's fast.
Martis should be a good one.
Then you wonder if he's good
enough to push Don Bosseler
or Johnny Olszewski aside and
you x out the huzzahs. You
decide to play safe, to wait and
see.
There is Riley Mattson, a
6-foot-5, 248-pound tackle only
% years old who seems to have
unlimited possibilities.

Doyle Schick, defensive half
back; Bob Federspiel, some
what awkward end who some
how gets everything thrown at
him and blocks hard; Dick ia
kotowicz, a balding Air Force
veteran who claims to be 26
and looks more like 36, but
VINO Spits on his hands and
rocks 'em when they try to
blast him out of his position.
You watch, your enthusiasm
mounts, and the temptation is
strong to put a star beside
their names. Then you think
of Charlie Jones, Jack Jacobs,
Jim Youell and a score of
others, and you discreetly de-
eide to wait. It's going to be
a better Redskin team than last
year, but how much better you
can't say yet. It's best to wait
and see.

to be a cinch to make the grade
with the Redskins. So did
Charlie Jones. one-time George
Washington star who had good
speed and good hands. but not

everything they threw at him
in training camp, but when
they started playing for keeps
nothing went right.
Passes he stuck in his hip

Charlie couldn't explain it, the

the writer didn't even try to

Jacobs had a similar expert
ence in punting. Jack was a
halfback who could run with
the ball, block and-best of all
punt. He hung long. lazy
spirals in the sky that travelled
so and sol yards on the fly.
Safetymen grew old waiting for
them to come down. 1t was
suicide to catch them, with
hungry tackles and ends wait
ing to tear the receiver apart.
This. too, was in training camp
and the height. length and
beauty of Jacks punts were
duly reported by awed writer's.
Sammy Baugh did the punt
ing that year. 1916. He wasn't
bad. but Sans boots were long,
low trajectories, not the picture
book punts that doomed off
Jacobs toe. Jack, too, had a
soccer motion, swinging his
foot around from the right,
rather than straight ahead. For
some reason he didn't cut much
ice with Coach Turk Edwards,
and the press wondered.
But there came a day at
Griffith Stadium when Baugh
was out of action and Jacobs
was called on to punt. This
was the moment the boys who
had written about him from
training camp had waited for.
