Held for Spink Baseball leaders from the majors to the low minors yesterday mourned the loss of J. G. Taylor Spink, the militant publisher-editor of The Sporting News, who died Friday at the age of 74.

Mr. Spink was buried in Belle-fontaine Cemetery after funeral services at the Lupton undertaking establishment, 7233 Del-mar boulevard. Typical of the messages from baseball people was this comment from Bill DeWItt, president of the Cincinnati Reds: "Baseball has lost one of Its staunchest supporters. I have lost one of my closest personal friends. He has been my good friend for 47 years." DeWitt was a Browns' office boy at the age of 14 when he first met Mr.

Spink. Said Dewey Soriano, president of the Pacific Coast League: "Mr. Spink has been a guiding light for all. He kept many leagues alive by his inspirational efforts." Among the out-of-town sports figures at the services was Dan Daniel, veteran New York columnist. Daniel said, "Some wondered why I got here from New York so quickly.

If I hadn't, Mr. Spink would have fired me for the forty-first time." A special half-hour tribute to Mr. Spink was broadcast by radio station KMOX Friday night. The program included taped messages from National League president Warren Giles, American League president Joe Cronin and commissioner Ford Frick. Mr.

Spink, who made St. Louis the capital of the sports publishing business, was chairman of the board of The Sporting News company at the time of his death. His son, C. C. Johnson Spink, is president.

8 (AP) St. Bonaventure, using a tight defense in the first half and unleashing a fast-breaking attack in the second half, defeated Ohio University's basketball team, 75-60, tonight. The taller Ohioans rolled to a 7-0 lead before the Bonnies found the basket on a shot by Mike Rooney. Fifteen minutes passed before the Bonnies took the lead, which they never surrendered. When Ohio pulled within 10 points at 60-50 with four minutes to go, the Bonnies made good use of free throws to widen the margin.

Miles Aiken, despite a bad knee, and John Mahonchak led the Bonnies' scoring with 17 points each. Knicks Defeat Pistons 87-78 in Point Famine NEW YORK, Dec. (UPI)-In the lowest scoring game of the National Basketball Association season, the New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons, 87-78, tonight before 8179 fans in Madison Square Garden. The Pistons scored 35 points In the first period and 43 points during the rest of the game. They were held to just 12 points in the final period as the Knicks pulled away.

The lead see-sawed back and forth until three minutes were left in the third period when New York had a 7-1 streak to take a 6-2 lead. The crowd reaction to the unusually low-scoring game with accent on defense and tight guarding was enthusiastic. Almost the entire crowd remained until the end and cheered enthusiastically. Game high scorer was Don Ohl of Detroit with 23 points. Bailey Howell was held to a season-low of 13 points by Tom Gola, recent Knick acquisition from the Warriors.

The interdivision National Football League game was a duel between two master passers Unitas and Washington's Norm Snead. All the touchdowns except one were scored via the eir. Passes for 4.

Unitas, recapturing the form that made him an all-pro, threw for four touchdowns and set up another with a 22-yard run. He also established a new completion record for himself, hitting pa 25 of 36 passes for 367 yards, Snead, In only his second year with the NFL, passed for three touchdowns and kept pace with Unitas until the Colts' big last quarter. Snead's record for the day was 18 out of 33 for a total of 351 yards. Washington scored first in the opening quarter on an 85-yard Snead pass to Leroy Jackson. Baltimore bounced back early in the second on two Unitas touchdown passes for 11 and 9 yards to Jimmy Orr.

With less than two minutes remaining in the first half, Snead connected on a 17-yard pass to Fred Dugan to send the teams to their dressing rooms with the score deadlocked, 14-14. Snead Hits Again.

They broke the mold when they made John George Taylor Spink, the incredulous, inimitable, intense, uninhibited and always interesting little man who turned St. Louis into the capital of the national sports-publishing business. When local baseball writers sought five years ago to establish an equitable pattern of awards to be given at their annual January dinner, they planned tentatively to name one award for Taylor Spink's father, Charles C.

Spink, co-founder of The Sporting News. Oscar Ruhl, Taylor Spink's right-hand man who preceded him in death, dissented. "I know you're trying to honor pioneers in our profession," Ruhl said, "but the first is not always the best. Study the files of The Sporting News as I have, and see how drastically the boss has improved the standards and quality of the paper." The St. Louis Baseball Man-of-the-Year award is named In Taylor Spink's honor.

Even more than his father, Alphabetical Spink, as J.G.T.S. often was called, campaigned with editorial vigilance to make certain that baseball, though It became a business, would be above reproach as a sport And he gave more than one worthwhile writing career a start or a boost. A solemn, sometimes morose man lasted only a year on the national baseball paper, but that was long enough for the perceptive Spink to urge him to turn a puckish humor toward off-the-field activities of ball players. A series written under the heading of Pullman Pastimes became the genesis of You Know Me, Al, yarns which established Ring Lardner as a master of the short story. Many-Sided Man Spink, baseball's ink-stain el crusader, was called "the most Incredible character" veteran New York sports writer Hugh Bradley said he'd ever met, and Hughie saw more than his share.

"If Taylor Spink had not existed," Bradley once wrote, "organized baseball would have been forced to invent him." Talented Frank Finch of the SPORTS COMMENT seeking their first victory over The season now earing its close is the third in the National Football League for the Cowboys of Tom Landry, and they face the 1:05 p.m. kickoff with a 5-6-1 record plus even a bare chance of finishing second in the eastern division. A Chicago fellow of considerable literary talent and a penchant for predictions (he picked the Cards to win the eastern division this season) has this week named the Cowboys as the team of the N.F.L. future. Fearless Bill G'eason, writing In Pro Football Illustrated, points out how the Cowboys, who were 0-11-1 their first year and were 4-9-1 last year, now have a chance to be 7-6-1 by beating the Cards and then the Giants, who may be "thinking of other things." "If the Cowboys continue this three games-a-season improvement, their record in 1964 will be 13-0-1, which probably would be good enough to win the eastern division," said the seer.

He backed this with opinions that Landry is one of the sharpest coaches in the league. He could be right. Dallas is a three-point favorite to hand the Cardinals their tenth defeat to go with two victories and a tie despite the Big Red's earlier victory over the Cowboys at Dallas, 28-24. Whatever their future, the Cowboys right now are one of the most interesting teams to watch. "You need an IBM computer to read the keys to that Dallas offense," said Cardinal linebacker Bill Koman after the first meeting.

The Cowboys use six or seven different formations, flip-flop their flankers, alternate their quarterbacks, and sometimes make their offensive line look like jumping jacks as they try to hide their back-field secrets. All this has added up to the second highest scoring machine in the league. Dallas has scored 347 points. Only Green Bay has tallied more with 364. Eddie LeBaron, the veteran quarterback who had been side lined by injury, has rejoined Don Meredith in the rotating quarterback system used by the play-calling coach Landry.

The Redmen's margin came at the free throw line, where they hit on 20 of 27 chances. Cornell connected on only seven of 17 free throw tries. "Iwrrfih.

Darrell Barth led Moorhead with 22 points. Sport Editor with his devotion to baseball and to his publications, Spink drove himself harder than any of his employes, most of whom were with him for years. To keep abreast of developments and to satisfly his craving for accuracy, he shouted impatiently longdistance to his correspondents at all hours. And, like a movie-version editor, he did It so loudly he really didn't need a telephone. Although he traveled often, he was too restless to remain away Jong from his desk here.

Frank Lane, a close friend, never knew how close he came to the amusing truth when, boarding a Miami-to-St. Louis plane at St. Petersburg on New Year's day a few years ago, he spied Spink and quipped: "I know you were at the Orange Bowl game, Taylor. But did you stay for the klckoff?" Spink had stayed for a half. In recent years, Stan Musial and others have urged that Spink be named to membership in baseball's Hall of Fame because of undeniable contributions to the sport.

Even Judge Landis, who resented it 20 years ago when the Saturday Evening Post called the St. Louis publisher "Mr. Baseball," would have had to agree that Colonel Spink acted as unswervingly for the game's good as the crusty old jurist had. They say a man can't see himself, but John George Taylor Spink caught a good glimpse of himself the day he said: "I am an opinionated man, but if the other fellow has a story, I am willing to listen to It and give it full AUTO PAINTING BAKED On to STAY On- COLORS I BRAKE FRONT WHEELS WHEEL BEARINQS Speciilisli a END SPECIAL a a a a I.

TAYLOR SPINK Los Angeles Times did about as good a word picture of J.G.T.S. as we ever saw, describing him as "an owlish, saucy little man with a voice that sounds like a concrete mixer and a mind that's sharper than a serpent's fangs." Although his vocabulary was as salty as a Marine sergeant's, Spink was a sentimental man and extremely sensitive. He was vain, too, but warm-hearted and generous. At times, unfortunately, his kindnesses were obscured by temper tantrums, a result of his belief that his philanthropy had not been appreciated. The retired Post-Dispatch sports editor, J.

Roy Stockton, always liked to tell about the time a man's house burned and the victim was left only with the clothes on his back. "Other friends offered sympathy," Stockton said, "but Taylor Spink offered help. He took the man and his family into his home and put them financially on their feet." A few years ago when fire forced the publisher to evacuate his own fashionable Clayton home during the middle of the night, he was assisted out of a second-story bedroom by firemen. Angry and mortified, J.G.T.S. swore beautifully.

A fireman below cocked an ear. "Holy smoke," he said admiringly, "it's Taylor Spink."
