(AP) George "Red" Sullivan said he wouldn't turn the lowly Washington Capitals around overnight, but hours after be replaced fired head coach Jimmy Anderson Tuesday, the Capitals trimmed the New Rangers, 7-4. The vietorv was the fifth in 55 NaUonal Hoclt- ey League games so far in this their inaugural season, but Sullivan wasn't taking all the credit The game didn't start until 10 p.m.

as Capital Centre maintenance crews struggled to shave paint left by a variety show off the ice. AAed after the game if he'd like to change the starting time permanently to 10 p.m., Sullivan laughed, "That might prove to be a good idea." Anderson is to remain with the team, which is mired in last place in Division 3, and will assume a scouting position Monday. Sullivan joined the team as a scout himsdf. General Milt signed him to a three-year contract as the team's first employe after the expansion. He formerly coached with the Rangers and Pittsburg Penguins.

Speaking at an impromptu press conference after he took over the team Tuesday afternoon, Sullivan, 45, said his goal for the Capitals' last 25 games this season to avoid ing the NHL record for the fewest points in a season. The New York Islanders set that record in their first season with 30. Tlie Capitals earned 15 points in the first 55 games on their 80-game schedule. "We have to make up 19 or 20 points and I think we can do it." Sullivan said before the game. A player in the NHL for nine years with Boston, the Rangers and Chicago, Sullivan said be wouldn't predict that he will turn the team around overnight.

He added, "I want and I will get respect, hard work and checking. In order to win in the NHL, you need to check hard and continue to check hard." The Capitals, often outshot 21 of their opponents, had 26 shots on goal to 28 for the Rangers Tuesday. Schmidt said Sullivan was promoted to coach indefinitely. Sullivan said. "I hope to be able to stay behind the bench for 10 years." Both men praised Anderson, who was not at the press conference or game.

"I appreciate his work and regret this move," Schmidt said. "I regret this change." Sullivan added, "Jimmy is an astute hockey man. He has had a tough job. I have never seen a club with such injuries. We're lucky be did the job he did.

I'm tickled he is sUll with us."

Lakers bow to Braves, blow 15-point lead in 4th period LOS ANGELES (AP)-Us- teoiog to Bob McAdoo vou might think the Buffalo Braves had just lost the game but trith what Coach Bill Sharman said there was no doubt what happened to the Los Angeles Lakers. "I had an off night, my legs were tired in the fourth quarter and I didn't shoot very well," McAdoo complained after scoring 47 points as the Braves beat the Lakers 11M06 in a National Basketball Association game Tuesday night After a first quarter that had the lead duinge hands a dozen times the Lakers took over, hitting 10 unanswered points in the second period.

The Lakers lost two last chances when Gail Goodridi missed a jumper before getting the ball back on a steal.

But then center Elmore Smith lost the ball on a bad pass and Randy Smith scored Buffalo's final two points oo a pair of free thrtnrs. "Our luck can't all be this bad, can it?" Sbarman asked after tbe Lakers lost tbdr 34tb game of tbe season. "We played hard and with intetisity and if we continue to play like this we'll start to win." Shannan said. Jim McMillian, traded to Buffalo for Elmore Smith two years ago. scored 18 for the Braves and Randy Smith and Marin each added 15.

Marin scored 10 points in the final six minutes. Goodrich scored 26 points and Lucius Allen 20 for Los Angeles. McAdoo hit 16 of 32 shots from tbe field and made six of nine tries in the fourth quarter. said, "This is the first time we've been able to come back like this. We really had our heads down at halftime but we fell pretty good when we started the fourth quarter.

"We showed a lot of poise, we were very lucky to win. W'e were wild in the last two quarters." After losing 12 straight games to the Lakers over three years, it was Buffaloss fourth victory without a loss against Los Angeles this season. "It's tough 00 Sharman and I sympathize with him, Buffalo Coach Jack Ramsey said of the Lakers' losses this season. "I won't dunge placed with him, though." Tbe loss, the Lakers' sixth in their last seven games, left them in last place in the Pacific Division with a 20-34 mark. 12 games behind first place Golden SUte.

Buffalo gained a bit on idle Boston in the Atlantic Division and the second place Braves are now games behind the first place Celtics. Woody five on top With a Uttle more than half its league schedule completed, "Woody's Gang" has established itself in sole possession of first place in the North Bakersfield Recreation Park District league.

Zawalia's Welding and Six Pack are knotted in a lie for top spot in the league with identical defeat of Sawi- la's by Six Pack, Six Pack bad a balanced atUck with four players in double figures. James Winterset bad 17. Tony Zesparitz 16, Mark Slezak and Mike Labar 10. Dana WecUief scored for Zawalia's.

In the game Theron Friberg hit on ll-of-14 free throws and three field goals for 17 points to lead the Nazarene cause. The league bas turned into a two-team race between San Felipe Boys' Home and Happy Steak, both with 5-1 records.

Happy Steak barbecued Sao Felipe, 61-31, behind the 16 point effort of Dave Haslett and Gibson's 12 points each.

Toscopelro (2-4) recently awarded Tenneco a gift their first win in league play. It wasn't all a gift, because Bob Harle hit for 16 points and Richard Darke had 12 for Tenneco.

About the only thing that bothers him is that he came along too early. "I hadn't thought about it," said Clifton when asked about Bill Russell's refusal to accept induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame, wbere be would be the first black player.

"I don't know bis opinion," said Oil ton. "I've read a little about it in tbe papers. Maybe bis thinking is real different. I know him real well, but I don't know his reasons." Clifton, a er. began his college career at Xavier of New Orleans.

He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and ssrved in the division of.the Fifth Army in Africa and Europe. He was a member of a championship basketballieam in Brussels in and also played in tournaments in luly the same year. Clifton, who got his nickname of Sweetvrater because of his craving for soft drinks as a youngster, came out of World War and joined the fabled Harlem Globetrotters. Three years later he was with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Associa- tiw). "Russell turned pro basketball around," said Clifton, "but tf anyone should go Into the Hall of Fame it should have been Runt Pullins.

He was a little guy who played for the Globetrotters and there wasn't a thing be couldn't do. "He's the one who should have been the first to go into the Hall of Fame." said Oif- ton. thought he was the greatest. But at that time we didn't have organized basket- baU. "Shoot.

Goose Tatum should have been there. He brought eotenainment into the game." There arc many other black players who should also be in tbe Hall of Fame, Clifton said. "Marcus Haynes bas been for 30 years and he's still playing with the Globetrotters," he said. "There's nobody who's done that" He also named Wilt Chamberlain as another black deserving of Hall of Fame status. Clifton, who played seven years with the Knicks and another season with Detroit, stepped out of the pro ranks in 1858 because of an injury.

"I was good," said Clifton, "and I don't know what I would do if I were named to the Hall of Fame. But that's not important The top money I made with the Globetrotters was 110,000, and that's all I got from tbe Knicks. But that was long ago and times do change." Oif ton claims he is 48 years old. although record books list him at 52. difference does that make?" said CTifton, who was brought into what was then the big money scene by Abe Saperstein, the late impressar- io who made a legend of the Globetrotters.

"Abe was a great guy and I always got along with him." said Clifton. "He gave a lot of us guys a chance." CUfton left the NBA after eight years with a record of 4.409 rebounds and 5,444 points. He went on tour for a while and came back into tbe pro ranks with the Chicago Majors in the American Basketball league, which was founded by Saperstein. But after Ih years be called it quits in 1962. "There's nothing wrong with driving a cab and earning an honest living," saU CUfton, once considered the best board man in professional basketball.

The latest involves one of tbe game's most eligible bachelors, Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds, and his short-time acquaintance. Vickie Chesser. They plan to be married Friday, Feb.

21 after a courtship that began Dec. 28. Still, that kind of courtmg speed didn't set any Reds' record. Baseball purists will point to an earlier record, a club mark which leaves Bench without even an asterisk. On Feb, 15, 1915.

Heinie Groh created a social whirlwind when be married Ruby Besxler after a 22-day courtship. Unlike Miss Chesser. Miss Bender was a baseball fan. Two years earlier she bad been photographed preparing to throw a baseball and had been quoted as saying: "If you trant real, interesting exercise, steal away to a quiet lot and throw a baseball until your arms are tired." The writers of the day had fun with the upcoming wedding. Here is how one writer covered it: "Heinie Groh, the Reds' crack second baseman, will shortly score bis first monial home run.

He is now safely passing third in good shape and is all set for the final slide to the pbte. Heinie slammed Cupid's arrow against the center field fence and announced his ment" The loving couple had things to say. "I'll never miss a game," said Miss Bender. "Cupid could never fan me," said Groh. "In fact, I like liis curves." Tbe headline announcing tbe engagement read.

"Diamond Star Gives A Diamond." The 1915 affair was much different than the wedding planned by Bench and his fiancee. The young Reds catcher has invited nearly 900 people. reported of the Bender-Groh nuptials that "tbe affair was kept as quiet as possible as neither of the contracting parties wished for any publicity." After the wedding, Grofa and bis wife left for spring training. Bench and his bride also plan to spend their hooeymooo at the Reds' training camp. Groh, who was named fa 1969 to the "Greatest Reds Team Ever," died that same year after 54 years of marriage.

His irife. Ruby, now 81. still lives the Cincinnati area.

But Fruitvale, guided by first-year coach Gary Plotner, bas its greatest strength in the taamwork of all its players. Lincoln and Stanard, with 31 records, trail Fruitvale.
