FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1970 UUUI UP With ABA NBA Merger Scores and Standings Red Smith Joe Nearly Won a Grand I i known as the National Basketball Association, a single league schedule as early as practicable, a world championship play-off between the two league winners, a common draft of college players and expansion by at least two new teams before the single league schedule goes into effect. Kennedy would serve as commissioner of the merged league. Kennedy said the statement would now be prepared for submission to the Judiciary Committees of the U.S. House and Senate.

"We have no sponsors for the proposed legislation at the moment," Kennedy said. "I really don't know when we'll file it, but certainly within the next few weeks." The statement itself points to a merger, championship play and a common draft next season, but, Kennedy noted, it's unlikely that all the legal matters could be resolved by the time the 1970 pro season opens in October. The 134 vote by the NBA owners came after a gruelling Please turn Page ATLANTA (AP) Owners of franchises in the National and American Basketball Associations voted yesterday to seek from Congress permission to merge into one professional league. Walter Kennedy, commissioner of the NBA, said the vote came on a statement of principles agreed to by merger committees of both leagues before a U.S.. District Court in New York issued an injunction in May legally barring a merger until disposition of a suit filed by the NBA Players Association.

"I'm quite sure it would be much longer than a year I don't anticipate Congressional action so we can have a unification at the end of next season," Kennedy said as the NBA's Board of Governors concluded a two-day meeting. Kennedy made the announcement for both leagues, saying NBA owners approved the statement, 13-4, while all 11 ABA owners, meetjng in Denver, approved it unanimously. The agreement touches only basic items that would be included in a merger provision and Kennedy said he was certain there were other items that would "have to be added" in the event Congress and the courts approved a merger. Items already agreed upon call for a 28-team league to be NEW YORK At dinner before the fight Joe Frazier said he'd like to bet a thousand dollars that Jerry Quarry would knock out Mac Foster inside six rounds, thats' how sure he was. "Quarry can hit," he said.

"I know. I fought him." Defending the heavyweight championship of the world, Frazier had stopped Quarry in seven rounds. He had never seen Mac Foster fight but he had watched him in the gym without getting the impression that here was the rising young man who would some day take his title. He said Foster was awful green, and as for that record of 24 knockouts in 24 professional bouts, well, who were those critters he had knocked out? It was a big night in Madison Square Garden. Foster was the big attraction with the implausable record of his to foster hopes that this might be the Palmer 79, Player 80, Nkklaus 81 acklin if i most exciting thing to happen in the heavyweight division in years.

For the sentimental there was a birthday salute to Jack Dempsey, who will be 75 next Wednesday. Frazier sat fascinated and slightly incredulous as Dempsey's contemporaries were introduced Jack Sharkey, Gene Tunney, and little old Georges Carpenter. That little man fought for the heavyweight championship? It was obvious Joe Baseball INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Pet.

Tony Jacklin, delighted with the raw, blustery wind that wrecked the rest of the field, cut out a one-under-par 71 yesterday for the first round lead in the weather-plagued U.S. Open Golf Championship. "I'm happy in this weather," said the 25-year-old reigning British Open champ from Elmsham, England. "It reminds me of home." But while the blasts that reached 40 miles per hour were gentle breezes for the handsome young Briton, they were tornadoes of disaster for the giants of the game. JOE FRAZIER Jack Nicklaus had an 81.

Gary Player took an 80. Arnold Palmer struggled in with a 79. Defending champ Orville Moody shot a 79. Lee Trevino managed only a 77. Billy Casper rallied for a 75.

Almost half the field failed to break 80 on the par 72 Hazeltine National Golf Club course, a Robert Trent Jones creation that features huge, hump-backed greens and has 10 blind holes. "If conditions stay like this, Diehl: I Played Terribly Special Service CHASKA, Minn. Terry Diehl of Rochester's Oak Hill Country Club said he had only himself to blame for shooting 82 yesterday in the opening round of the U.S. Open here. "I just played terribly, that's all," he said after his round.

"I hit the ball very poorly had a couple of three-putt greens it was just a bad day. "This is my first Open and I tried my hardest, but I just came up empty. The weather? Sure it was bad I guess the wind was blowing about 30-35 miles and hour when I was playing, and it was cold. The pin placements were real tough, too, but I don't blame the course or the weather. "This is the U.S.

Open and the course should be made as difficult as possible. It's the same for everybody, and everybody's got to play it under the same conditions," Diehl explained. It was pointed out to him that he beat Jack Nicklaus by Please turn to 3D 300 will win it and Sam Parks TONY JACKLIN will come out of retirement," quipped Player. Parks won the open in 1935 with a score of 299. "It was awful out there," said Nicklaus, who had a horrendous, seven-over-par 43 on the front nine.

"But I'm not out of it. Suppose I come back with a 68. That would make it 149. If conditions stay this tough or get worse, that might make the cut by 10 strokes." "I don't know what the hell to say," said Palmer. "I just played poorly.

There's no excuse for not shooting better than 79 even on this course. Some guy shot 71 today on the same damn course I played." "I played badly, putteo badly, did everything badly," said Player. "The weather was more like the British Open than the United States Open." The temperature was in the chill 50s in the morning, and reached only to the 60s. "It's the worst conditions for playing golf I can remember," said tour veteran Mason Rudolph, who had a 73 and was tied for second with 50-year-old Julius Boros, a two-time champion, and Chi Chi Rodriguez. Please turn to 3D had never heard of Georges Carpentier.

There were film clips of Dempsey fights and Fraizer was scandalized watching the Old Brawler crouch over Fallen Jess Willard and slug him as Jess tried to rise. "No far corner? That's bad. That makes fighting look bad. "Got his hand pinned too high," Frazier said when Foster came out for the first round with his gloves framing his jowls. "He can't do nothin.

Look at that jab. No punch, see what I mean?" Halfway through the round Foster caught Quarry's chin with a jolting uppercut, following with a fairly crisp left. Joe reserved comment. "Jerry looks like he's scared of him," he said as the round ended. "Them hands gonna come down," he said after the bell.

"Who'd you give that round to?" His neighbor said Foster. "I can't understand it," Joe said early jn the second. "Jerry's gettin hit with jabs. He's staying too far from the kid, who's got long arms. Foster got no right hand at all.

Looks like this'll be a long night." "He's nothing for you, champ," a fan told Frazier between rounds. "You'd march through this Foster." "Jerry looks like he's scared," Joe said. In the third Quarry began to punch a little, with no visible effect. "The boy ain't got no right hand," Frazier repeated. "He ain't got nothin but a jab." Just then Foster threw his first decent right.

"Quarry hurt," Joe said. "He's giving the boy arm room," he said. "The boy's got no right hand. All Jerry's got to do is stay to the right of him." His tone was deeply disapproving. "I'm getting tired of this," he said.

In the fourth Quarry landed hooks to the head. "He ought to work on the midsection," Frazier said. "Bring those hands down." The champion's disapproved persisted into the fifth round. "No right hand whatever. All you got to do is fold your arms and walk in and hook.

There! That hook hurt. See the right hand coming clown?" There was excitement in his voice now as Quarry, having scored with a hook to the body, whacked his man severely about the head. Foster wasn't punching back. "He's so conscious of keeping the hand up there," Joe said, 'He ain't doing anything." "He's getting hit with jabs now," Frazier said as the sixth round opened. He meant Foster, who was soon getting hit with everything.

Quarry hit him twice in the jaw with right hands and Foster started down for the first time in his life, the eyes suddenly sightless, the mouth agape. He sagged into the ropes, managed to pull himself upright and leaned into toward Quarry, punching desperately. Frazier was up on his own feet yelling. "I told you he'd go in six!" WALTER KENNEDY still in charge solo home run for Winnipeg in the eighth that tied the score. It was so well hit over the three banks of signs in left that Tom Shopay never moved from his crouch and didn't look back.

That was the only run off Scott, and the Red Wings racked up four big ones in their own half of the eighth. The Whips left town smarting again from Rochester's mastery over them. Last time the ex-Bisons were here, Rochester had a field day with runs and hits, most notably the 27-4 game. Last night's victory was the eighth for Cal Ripken's crew in nine meetings between the clubs. In the nine, the Red Wings have tattered Whips' pitching for 19 doubles, six triples, five home runs and 76 runs batted in.

Rochester is batting .360 against them. Enzo Hernandez, the Venezuelan shortstop who has picked up beautifully where Bobby Floyd left off, clipped nine hits in 16 trips against the Whips over the four games and is hitting .330. Freed is eight for 13 in three games, Shopay has an eight-game hitting streak and Johnson appears to be getting back in the grove. With six regulars hitting over .300 and Johnson crowding .295 the Wings approach the halfway point in the schedule with only good pitching lacking for the stretch drive in Please turn page East Pet.

The Whips capitalized on starting pitcher Mike Adam-son's wildness and an error by centerfielder Baylor in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead. Adamson gave pinch hitter Joe Solimine, and Don Bosch bases on balls, leading off the inning. Boots Day's sacrifice fly and another walk ended Adamson's chance to go the minimum five innings and knee deep.

And when Baylor bobbled the pickup in center, the third run of the inning came across, giving the whips their 5-4 lead. Scott struck out seven in the final four and a third innings he worked, and picked up his fifth victory when Rochester used by Perolli and the offensive style desired by general manager Charles A.

Baylor led off the inning and arched an opposite field shot down the right field line. Roger Freed lined to short but Johnson unloaded a tremendous blast to left center that went on to the running track in front of the bullpen.

An intentional walk to Mike Ferraro preceded singles by Enzo Hernandez and Schaffer, Schaffer's a Texa Leaguer over second, scoring two runs and insuring the Wings' fourth straight victory, and seventh straight at home. At the same time, action in the three other Internationl League parks last nigh helped Rochester nibble away at first-place Syracuse. Toledo snapped the Chiefs' eight-game winning streak, splitting a doubleheader at Syracuse, and helped the Wings move to live games back. Tidewater's loss brought Rochester within a game and a half of third, and fourth-place Richmond fell six and a half back. Rochester was hard pressed to win last night, falling behind in the first inning, then 1 -1 By JIM RICKEY Alex Perolli will remain as coach of the Rochester Lancers at least for the time being.

A four-and-a-half-hour closed door meeting at the Lancers' Executive Building office last night resulted in the retention of the coach. The big issue was the defensive style of play used by Perolli and the offensive ftyle desired by general manager Charles A. Schiano.
