Boston Celtics Sold
NEW YORK The
Chicago Bulls were without a
home court today, while t h e
Boston Celtics, Atlantic Divi-
sion champions of the National
Basketball Association, had
only their second sole owner in
their 26-year history.
The Bulls have played the
last five seasons in Chicago
Stadium, after playing in the
Chicago Amphitheatre in 1966-
67, their first season in the
league.
At present, they have no
lease offer to buy the Bulls
from Elmer Rich.
\SA Commissioner Walter
Kennedy indicated that the
Governors did not approve the
offer l>ecause the Bulls were
unable to olrtain a lease for the
Stadium.
Tuesday, Fishman said his
group had signed a three-year
lease with the Amphitheatre,
but the Board still turned down
the offer.
"I'm disappointed by the
temporary setback our group
received," said Fishman. "I
would like to emphasize the
word temporary. We intend to
pursue every legal action to as-
sume our acquisition of the
team."
Should the efforts of the Fish-
man group fail, the Bulls could
be sold to a group including Ar-
thur Wirtz, owner of the 19,500-
seat Stadium. I thas been re-
ported that with the rejection of
Fishman, approval is expected
to be given to the Wirtz group,
which has a 10-year lease at fa-
vorable rental terms ready for
the Bulls.
Meanwhile, the Board ar>-
proved the sale of the Celtics
for $5.1 million to Robert
Schmertz, a 46-year-old realtor
from Lakewood, N.J.
He will be sole owner of the
club. The only other individual
owner in the team's history
was the late Walter Brown,
who purchased the Celtics in
their in&ncy in 1946. He died in
1964, but by that time was co-
owner with Lou Pieri.
Schmertz, also part owner of
the New England Whalers in
the new World Hockey Associ-
ation.
TOURISTS from Page 6)
camper drivers alone.
And at that, they have as
much right to the highways as
anyone. Yet there must be solu-
tions.
Perhaps drivers should have
to pass special license tests
after schooling in driving the
vehicles and training in using
climbing strips and road shoul-
ders to allow fester traffic to
get clear.
The trucking industry found
itself in the same situation
some years ago and seems to
have pretty well whipped the
problem.
Motels are booming. Arrive a
little late in the afternoon and
you may find all the rooms tak-
en.
Thefts from motels must lie
terrible.
Checked into Albuquerque's
newest and most luxurious mo-
tel one afternoon. Probably not
a better one in the world.
It was the only motel seen in
a week that didn't appear to
have special anti-theft devices
on the color television set.
Yet the motel had a gadget
on the toilet paper that re-
quired a key to open it so the
guests couldn't steal a whole
roll.
Oh, well. The motel probably
figures tha^ a dime's worth of
paper saved is a dime earned.
Anyone seeing the West for
the first time must shake their
head in amazement that the
pioneers ever crossed the land.
