Good Race Year In Sight For 'Senior' Joe Leonard LOS ANGELES (UPI) The two other members of Parnelli Jones' super team are ganging up on the ol' pelican, Joe Leonard. Al Unser and Mario Andretti keep reminding last year's U. S.

Auto Club kingpin that he's the senior of the Jones stable. The emphasis is on senior. "They really rib me," said the 37-year-old Leonard. "They keep telling me my hair is getting grayer and my glasses are getting thicker. Mario keeps telling me I look old enough to be his father." Andretti, a newcomer to the team this year, and Unser can needle the ol' pelican all they want.

LEONARD, the nice guy, will laugh right along. After all, the defending national champion can afford to be gracious. It looks like it's going to be a profitable year for the Jones boys. The smiling Leonard hopes, of course, he gets a share of the profits befitting a senior citizen. Anything can happen and does in auto racing, but the three drivers employed by the Torrance, based tandem of Jones and Vel Miletich figure to dominate USAC's championship car circuit, which opens with a 150- miler at Phoenix, Saturday.

as they tried to squeeze past each other. Ed Hayes (Continued From Page 1-C) er a rather long delay, commented: "I guess they're chopping the tree down for Palmer." Also overheard: "Palmer won't admit he's getting old like the rest of us." It's been suggested that the Florida Citrus Invitational change its name to the Arnold Palmer or the Arnold Palmer Citrus but Frank Hubbard, representing the Citrus Founders, whispered: "'We're not going to change the name of our tournament." 0 LAST TIME I talked to Jim Jamieson, prior to the Citrus, was on registration day at the Disney tournament. Wife and child were with him and he was talking about how he needed to do well in the last two tournaments of 1971 to make the top 60 list. The previous year he was 59th. Well, he didn't make it.

This year, nevertheless, he's made money in the 10 tournaments, including $8,850 at Rio. Jamieson wound up in a tie for third. His best previous finish was a tie for sixth in Hawaii. His wife, regrettably, was back at Horne's Motor Lodge on Saturday when he tied the course record at 63. 0 0 IS THE NEW flow of tourists to our town going to affect the Citrus crowds other than in size? I heard an unusual amount of complaints this year about the unruliness of the galleries, although I admit I saw nothing myself that was out of line.

Scott Joins Suns PHOENIX, Ariz. (P) Charlie Scott of the American Basketball Association Virginia Squires will wear the uniform of the National Basketball Association Phoenix Suns here Wednesday night, Suns general manager Jerry Colangelo said Monday. Charging that Squires owner Earl Foreman was in default on several clauses in his contract, and had reneged on a promise to pay off a $26,000 loan for him, Scott waltzed away from a lucrative contract with the Squires last week. THE SUNS National Basketball Association rights to Scott in a trade with the Boston Celtics for "cash and future consideration," Colangelo said. The Celts had drafted the former North Carolina All-America in the seventh round of the collegiate draft two years ago.

He shared ABA Rookie of the Year honors with Kentucky's Dan Issel, after averaging 27.1 points a game and leading the Squires to a 55-29 record and the Eastern Division championship last season. Scott, 23, has been averaging about 35 points this year, and established a single-season ABA record of 2,524 points. COLANGELO PROMISED to introduce his new star at a midmorning press conference today. Colangelo rated Scott in the same class with Jerry West, Oscar Robertson and Dave Bing. "He's very fast and can really shoot," the general manager said.

SQUIRES COACH Al Bianchi also appears to have respect for Scott, despite his statement last week that he didn't care if he "never came back." No Basketball Merger Yet RICHMOND, Va. (P) The Richmond Times-Dispatch quoted U. S. Sen. William B.

Spong Monday night as saying there likely will be no congressional action to permit merger of the two professional basketball leagues until the new Congress convenes next January. Spong said the workload of Congress in a presidential election year, plus the ever-deeping inquiry into pro sports franchises by Sen. Sam Ervin, D-N. make quick passage almost impossible. "FROM THE standpoint THE NBA and the ABA, of legislation moving, this weary after years of fightbill is not going to pass this ing a money war for playyear," Spong told the news- ers, have in effect asked paper.

Leonard's No.

1 Samsonite Special will be identical with the Parnellis driven by Unser, the winner of the last two Indianapolis 500s and Andretti, the 1969 Indy winner. THE NO. 1 is emblematic of the champion. Leonard, who will celebrate his 38th birthday on Aug. 4, was the eighth man ever to win the USAC title.

It's a national championship Unser won in 1970 and Andretti captured in 1965, 1966 and 1969. If that isn't enough of an ego trip, car owner Jones was the 1963 Indianapolis champion. All jokes about age aside, Leonard says there will be no jealousy this year. He says he guarantees that. "People tried to create something between Al and myself that wasn't there last st year and now they've started this year," the San Jose, veteran said.
