* NORTHWEST HERALD Section A ; Saturday, September 7, ms Page n Sports Celtics make deal for Walton ' \ By Jeff Hasen UPI sports writer LOS ANGELES - Bill Wal­ ton's hopes of playing with a contender were realized Friday when the Los Angeles Clippers dealt the former All-Star center to the Boston Celtics for forward Cedric Maxwell and a 1986 first- round draft pick. . Both players passed physicals last week. Trade talks, which had dragged on for three months, were prolonged while lawyers for the players and clubs worked around the league's sala- rycap. Walton, the NBA's Most Valu­ able Player in 1978 while with the Portland Trail Blazers, ex­ pressed a desire to move on after completing a fourth losing sea­ son with the Clippers. A fierce competitor and rebounder, the 32-year-old played 67 games last season while putting a string of injuries behind him. "I'm honored to be part of this teartf," Walton said from his home in San Diego. "I can't play 35 to 40 minutes per game. I think I can be a productive and complementary player for the Celtics. "The playing time will be di­ rected by the coach. One of the nice things about playing with the Boston Celtics is that the minutes will be kept down -- it could certainly prolong my career." Maxwell, an 8-year veteran, suffered a knee injury last sea­ son, underwent arthroscopic sur­ gery and wais used only sparing­ ly when the Los Angeles Lakers wrested the NBA title from the Celtics. "With the acquisition of Max­ well, we are now beginning to put the pieces together for estab­ lishing a competitive basketball club," Los Angeles general man­ ager Carl Sheer said. "Cedric gives us the strength in areas we sorely missed last year and will complement our players better than anyone else we could have acquired." Shortly after the season, the 6- foot-ll Walton reasserted his de­ sire to play with the Celtics, but the Clippers rejected Boston's first offer. The Celtics obtained Walton to spell 7-footer Robert Parish at center. Parish, forced to play extended minutes because of a lack of an adequate backup, has suffered from fatigue at the end of the last several seasons.

DOWNTOWN CRYSTAL (SIS) *55-7600 Johnstone's book a real laugher By Marvin West Scripps Howard News Service Now that the Dodgers have banned stadium sales of Jay John­ stone's new book, "Temporary In­ sanity," fans are lining up at book­ stores to see what is so bad about the uncensored adventures of bi ball's craziest player. Jay says the biggest disappoint-^ ment of his 22-year professional ca­ reer was the day somebody stole his Star Patrol helmet. He lists the best towns in which to get into trouble: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Montreal and Atlanta. Most know- ledgable fans follow they Yankees, Cubs, Phillies, Mets and Red Sox. He says the best-looking uniforms are worn by the Astros, Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees and Angels. The best airline food is on Ozark. In the uncensored part, Jay tells some boys-will-be-boys stories. Baseball can be a very cruel game. The Baltimore experience tore up Joe Altobelli, left him twist­ ing in the wind. Eddie Haas wasn't speaking to coaches or players in the final days at Atlanta. Was Haas overmatched? He was great on the farm but perhaps un- suited for major-league managerial heat. Claudell Washington slapped Eddie when he was down. Said Clau­ dell: "He's just a minor league guy." Would Don Sutton apply a foreign substance to a baseball to make it do flips? Of course not! The veteran pitcher for the Oakland A's says he deals entirely in domestic substances. Pete Rose has hit best in Atlanta, .344, and worst in Los Angeles, .273. He has hit well everywhere, under all conditions. "I once got a hit in April in Mon­ treal. Bruce Froemming was umpir­ ing at first. I asked him to get me the ball. He wanted to know who I id passed on what list this time," lose recalled. "I said, 'Well, I got hits in rain, I got hits in windstorms, I got hits in 115-degree weather. This was my first hit when ifcwas snowing.' "Froemming said, 'Go to hell."' The Dodgers are still laughing about the roasted pig's head Steve Sax found on his hotel room pillow. The note on the pig's head said, "Play better or else." It was signed by The Godfather but the writing looked a lot like manager Tommy LaSorda's. Admittedly, LaSorda ate some/much of the pig and enjoys a good time. Rose leads National League first- basemen with seven stolen bases ... Braves' Terry Forster weighs 270... is it the park or the pitchers that causes the Kingdome to lead the majors in home runs (144 to Tiger stadium's 137)? Greg Minton, 10 years a pitcher for San Francisco, wants to go to another team "or see the Giants get serious." His team has been a loser eight times in Greg's decade. He says it isn't any fun, even with a By Frederick Waterman UPI sports writer NEW YORK -- Chris Evert Lloyd usually wins with heartless efficien­ cy; Friday at the U.S. Open she logt because she had no heart. . The 30-year-old Evert Lloyd, play­ ing the U.S. Open for the 15th con­ secutive year, lacked her usual fire in her three-set semifinal loss to Hana Mandlikova. "My heart wasn't in it and that's the truth," Evert Lloyd said. Why not?.

Chili Davis says the Giants lack motivational players. "Look at the Dodgers. They don't have that good a team, certainly not a championship team. They are taught to win and they know how to do it. There's talent on our club." Stunning stat: Wade Boggs has hit successfully 89 times this season with two strikes. Another interesting tidbit on Boston's best batter ... he has popped up once this season. Last year, he hit six easy outs in the air. Toronto may have paid $1 million for righthanded hitting help in the stretch run. Controversial Cliff Johnson could cost that much, even if he doesn't make the club next spring. His contract is guaranteed. Next year costs $600,000. The 1987 buyout clause calls for $250,000. The Rangers wanted Cliff to go somewhere, anywhere. Owner Ed­ die Chiles said dump him after John- son defied a take sign from third base coach Wayne Terwilliger. Johnson did more than defy the sig­ nal. He used his middle finger to send one of his own. One Ranger said Johnson "is the biggest jerk in baseball but I'm not going to say it out loud." .
