There was no other comment
from the Hawks, who sat ST.

ing room, still in their uni
forms and studying the floor
more than half an hour after
the game was over.
The third-quarter squirt, in
which Boston outscored St
Louis, 1923, gave the Celtics q
15-point lead and apparently
put it out of reach. But the
Hawks came clawing back.
Moved by the scoring PROV
ness of Cliff Hagan and Bob
Petit, who had 26 and "a
points, respectively, st. Louis
closed to within five points
before Cousy. Tommy Helm

Jones finished the job.

Association of America.
Celtics Split $43,5OO
The Celtics will divide $43, 500
as their share Of the playoff
pool.
The Hawks have a $34,50C
share.
The financial setup calls for
the Celts to get $4,000 as the
team having the highest per-
centage standing in the regular
season. $4,000 as Eastern Divi-
sion champion, $10.500 as di-
