walkout.
Baseball Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn gave the first word of the
agreement when he emerged
from a 4%-hour meeting with
club owners in Chicago and
said, “At long last, good news.
The strike has ended.”
Almost simultaneously, Mar
vin Miller, executive director of
the Players Association, made
a similar announcement in New
York after long distance
telephone conversations with
the owners’ committee.
Miller added that the owners
should “take full responsibility”
for delaying the season’s start.
Neither Miller or Kuhn used the
word “victory” in their state
ments, and it was difficult to
see what either side gained.
Through today’s schedule, 86
games have been wiped out;
the major league clubs lost an
estimated $5 million and the
players are out about >1.25
million in salaries in a dispute
that began over an increase in
the players’ pension fund and
ended by settling the issue of
how to trim the season and the
salaries.
Included in the settlement,
which Kuhn described as
“tentative,” was a pledge by
owners to give $500,000 to the
pension fund and $480,000 to the
health care fund in addition to
the $5.4 million contribution
they already have been making
each year.
Kuhn, after his announcement,
was asked if he thought
criticism of his “passive role”
in the strike was justified.
“I have contributed to the
solution as early as possible.
My role was to work behind the
scenes,” he said. “I don’t think
the criticism of me was as
unfair as it was uninformed.”

Knicks stun
Celts, 116-94
By ALLAN R. BRUCE
UPI Sports Writer
BOSTON (UPl)—Walter Fra
zier held a sopping wet ice bag
over his left hand and talked
about teamwork.
“I thought we did everything
well tonight,” Frazier re
marked after the New York
Knicks stunned the Boston
Celtics, 116-94, Thursday in the
opening game of their best-of
seven series for the National
Basketball Association’s East
ern Conference championship.
It was an understatement.
The Knicks didn’t perform well
—they were superb, particular
ly on defense. On offense, it
was all the magical Walt
Frazier who hit 14 of his 19
shots from the field while
equalling his personal career
playoff scoring mark of 36
points.
Only Game
Thursday’s match was the
only game in the NBA. The Los
Angeles Lakers visit the
Milwaukee Bucks tonight for
the third game in their series
for the Western Conference
championship. That series is
tied, 1-1.

we’ve played in a long time,”
Frazier said. “This is not one
guy—it’s five guys. And the
bench is helping out a little,
too.”
As for his own performance,
Frazier said the Celtics were
“overplaying center and leaving
the whole back dear.” He said
he was able to “get a step” on
Boston guard Aart Williams
and get the points.
Frazier overlooked the fact
that he scored 21 of his points
after “spraining my left hand”
when he was fouled by Tom
Sanders in the second quarter.
“He hit me and it parted my
fingers,” Frazier said. “It’s not
that bad, though.”
The Knicks never trailed and
built up a 10-4 lead in the first
five minutes of play on a pair
of baskets by Frazier, a long
hook shot by Jerry Lucas and
jump shots from Earl Monroe
and Dave Deßusschere.
And it was Frazier who
personally locked up the game
in the second quarter with nine
straight points in a (Hie minute
and three second span.
Monsanto Open
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
PENSACOLA, Fla. (UPI)-
Although Dave Hill insists he
still has a lot to learn about
playing golf after 26 years in
the game, he appears to have
learned how to stay out of hot
water.
Hill, who goes into today’s
second round of the Monsanto
Open with a one-stroke lead
after Thursday’s 7-under-par 64,
has a reputation for sounding
off when he’s displeased and
there have been occasions when
this has cost him the wrath of
the PGA.
So when an interviewer tried
to get him onto the subject of
his past troubles, Hill had a
ready answer.
“No, sir. It’s all been quiet
and easy of late. I don’t bother
them and they don’t bother me.
I’m not stirring up anything
today.”
Hill Ready to Talk
But Hill was more than ready
to talk about that 64, especially
since he’s been having a lot of
trouble out on the golf course
the past seven or eight months.
“The way I’ve been playing
lately, I went out there
expecting a 76,” he said. “The
good Lord didn’t have anything
else to do today but look after
me.”

Club course playing much

the afternoon when the poa

up on the greens, most of the
early-starting Hills’ first-round
competition also came early.
Twelve of the 17 golfers in
the 147-man starting field who
broke par Thursday were in the
morning round. That included
unheralded Bob E. Smith who
diot a 6-under-par 65; Kermit
Zarley who had a 66; and 1969
champion Jim Colbert and
Chris Blocker who had 675.

Group Evenly Divided
The 69 group was evenly

Rounding out the sub par
