Betting Ends Pro Career Of Star Molinas In NBA Shakeup
Fort Wayne Piston forward Jack Molinas, a Columbia alumnus once seen as a rookie of the year candidate, was suspended indefinitely for betting on NBA games. NBA President Maurice Podoloff indicated Molinas is likely finished. Molinas offered to play without pay to redeem himself, but the league declined. A Bronx detective questioned a candy store operator, Isidore Ratowski, as part of the probe. Bookmakers reportedly stopped taking Fort Wayne bets after the December 15 game against Boston, which Boston won 82-75 with Molinas scoring 20 points.
