THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1957. (RONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. MINT! Royals to Move From Rochester To Cincinnati By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The National Basketball boning up for next season even before the current show is ended, had a new home base for one of its teams and new faces for two others today. In rapid fire developments to fill the gap while awaiting the resumption of the championship playoffs, the Royals switched their franchise from Rochester to Cincinnati and the Detroit (nee Fort Wayne) Pistons and New York Knickerbockers announced a five- player deal. Boston and St.

Louis, all square at 1-1 in their best of seven playoffs, resume play Saturday night at St. Louis. Owners Les and Jack Harrison of the Royals said they ester for Cincinnati in keeping with the "NBA trend toward bigger cities." The Royals, last in the league's western division this year, will play their 1957-58 home games in the Cincinnati Garden, a modern, 14,000 seat arena. Plagued by lagging attendance at Rochester, the Royals will be drawing from an area of about a million and a half population, compared to Rochester's half-million. The Pistons, who moved from Fort Wayne to Detroit effective with the end of this season, received Harry (The Horse) Gallatin, Nat (Sweetwater) Clifton and the rights to backcourt man Dick Atha from New York in exchange for former Bngham Young star Mel Hutchins and their first draft choice at the annual NBA meeting April 17.

Speculation in New York is that the Knicks will ask the Pistons to draft Hot Rod Hundley, West Virginia's colorful All America, providing he is available when the Pistons' turn comes up.

To do so, the prematurely balding Kasko would have to play regularly. Hutch has declared that Don Blasingame is his regular second baseman and Al Dark is his shortstop. "But once he gets in there," the Red Bird manager said Wednesday, "we might not be able to get him out." One possibility is a shift of Dark to left field so Kasko could play short, Hutch said.

But he isn't playing well for Hogan." Ward teamed with Nelson in a practice tour Wednesday and shot his second straight 69, three under par, over the Augusta National Course. The general Masters situation is this: Most people are picking Middlecoff but saying, "Watch out for Hogan." Hogan, the lean, hard Texan who has won two of these championships and four National Opens, didn't tour the course Wednesday and even passed up the special clinic because of what the announcer said was a "bad back." "Nothing serious," Hogan said later. "I'm just a bit sore. But I'm okay. I just didn't want to hit, that's all." Another pro who is rated a threat is 46-year-old Demaret, who has won the Masters three times.
