Celtic Sale Partially Cleared
New York AP reports the sale of the Boston Celtics, Atlantic Division champions, was partially cleared by a federal bankruptcy referee. Trans National Communications, the previous buyer, cannot pay about 2.6 million in unpaid notes as it reorganizes. The proposed sale to Harold Lipton and Irving H. Levin for 3.7 million would satisfy Ballantine debts and leave 1.1 million. NBA Board of Governors must approve. Levin would also own stakes in the San Diego Chargers and San Diego Gulls.
