Roberts High, 67-57, and Potlstown's 11-man attack wal loped Schwenksville, 70-45, in the Jacket and slacks, he looks like a subway jam.

Bristol, which trailed until of the third quarter, led at Si a the three-quarter turn, and pulled always wait 'til the last minute. Its st mess." "Kid stuff?" I mentioned. "You're not married, are you Joe?" The big guy grinned. "Naw! This is for nieces and nephews and stuff." "How about that story about you being water boy for the Chicago Stags and they finally hired yon to play?" Joe grins easily, like a man who is used to grinning. He relaxed over a puny chair that wasn't cut out for the job.

"Well," he said, "that isn't exactly right. There were four of us kids, and we heard the Stags needed ball boys. We figured it was a great way to see all the games free, so we got the jobs. The Stags didn't sign me for a couple cf years. I was playing with some independent teams around Chicago and getting into tourneys, and I guess a scout saw me because they asked me I I ft V.

The bystander was right, of course. Joe is the only pro now playing in the NBA who didn't come out of college.

He doesn't stand short in the brains department, however. On road trips, Joe operates a small casino, involving himself and three guys named George: Jack George, George Ssnesky and George Dempsey. The swindle is hearts, and it works like this: Joe and Jack start a heart game. They get Senesky and Dempsey on the other side, and the way things stand now, Grabbo and Jack own all the pennies in the outfit. Dempsey has mortgaged his cigaret change for the next three years, and Senesky hasn't had parking meter money since 1955.

"Jack George," Joe will fell you, "is a really good hearts player. Me, I just get lucky sometimes." He leans on that luck, Joe does. Like he'll say about trying out with the Stags. "We had five games, and the coach decided to let all of us piay the same amount of time whether we were winning or losing. I just happened to have a couple of good nights, so I stayed." He's stayed for a long time now.

It can't all be luck. Grabbo went with Eddie Gottlieb and some of the other Warriors to South America last year.

He wins the Lover Boy title hands down.

His mail from the distaff side runs about 2-1 better than any other guy on the club. There is a lady fan out in Chicago who subscribes to all the Philadelphia papers so she can see what the carbon paper pundits are saying about her boy. There is some food for thought, though, in Joe's record, lie started with the Chicago Stags. He went to Kansas City, from there to Louisville, then Indianapolis. -k The Stags folded.

In two months, Kansas City folded. Within the season, Louisville folded. And Indianapolis is no more. Knowing Eddie Gottlieb, it is virtually certain he has taken adequate measures to insure that Joe doesn't continue to leave a trail of destruction behind. Anyway, Joe is a changed man.

In Chicago, he played his first two seasons for $2500. Around here, that's just hearts money. to the Bears in the western race, each placed five men on the mythical team.
