TORONTO GAINS LEG
ON STANLEY TROPHY
Beats Rangers, GA, in First of
Three Victories Needed for
Hockey Championship.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK April 6.-The Toronto
~ Maple Leafs, the almost team
of the National Hockey League for
the past two or three seasons, are of
to a flying start on the final lap of
| their race for the Stanley Cup. a
trophy they never have succeeded in
winning.
The Leafs began their first final
series for the emblem of world
supremacy in professional hockey by
turning back the New York Rangers
to 4, last night in the last and best
of the seasons hockey games at Mad
ison Square Garden.
/ The Rangers now must finish the
series of the best three out of five
games on foreign ice where, according
to the accepted ideas of the game, they
cannot be expected to do as well as at
home.
Ousted from their home rink by the
circus, they will play again at Boston
Thursday, then move to Toronto for
the third game Saturday and as many
more games as are needed to decide
the 1882 world championships.
Playing hard rough hockey at a
furious pace, Toronto had one big
period, the second, last night, and
scored enough goals in it to win The
Leafs rammed in four straight goals to
gain 5-l lead.

smoke them into the glove of Pat

pitching to Charity caused more
commotion and comment in the
stands than the ball game.
But Walter realizes that the same
applause and buzZing would turn to
b raZzing if some young player took a
toe hold and whaled one OF his
pitches over the fence. Showing his
tricks to entertain a crowd and be-
ing in there pitching to anxious hit
ters are as different as land and sea.
But Walter johnson still is dear
to the hearts Of all base ball fans.
He is the one pitcher whom the kids
of another generation still remem-
ber. Several times year some one
pops up with the suggestion that
Griff send in johnson to whet the
appetite of the fans. And each time
Griff turns 1t down.
Walters players, to man, agree
that, properly warmed up, the old
master of the smoke ball would stop
any club in the league for two. or
three innings. But once the smoke
ball lost its sizzle the hitters would
get to it, and Walters tosses would
be no more dangerous than the
average pitchers.

Major Flag Contenders
BY CRANTLAND RICE

Last year his skirmishes with the
pitchers were less successful and he
hit .288 He should boost that aver
age a few more points this season.
He looks like a sound 300 hitter.
Hornsby has said that he much pre-
fers watkins to Martin as an all
around gardener.
HAVING Jimmy Wilson behind
i / the bat and Colbert at short
stop provides comfort for
Street and the managers Of the
st. Louis chain-store business. Will
son Is the ablest backstop in the
loop. and Charley Colbert has lots
of admirers. When you add the
fact that Frankie Frisch Is the peer
of second basemen in the league,
you have more than enough reasons
why only pitching is needed by
Streets club.
Roger Hornsby in a recent inter-
view prophesied that Paul Derrin-
ger wouldn't look back on 1882
with as much satisfaction as he
views his 81 start. Last year he
collected 18 victories although he
didn't rate as a starting pitcher
until the first month that slipped by.
If Derringer should sag, now
that Grimes is gone, a heavy bur-
den will be laid on Wild Bill Halla-
han. Rhem and johnson, the main
stays. Jess Haines has looked fine
in training and, picking his spots,
may be expected to compile a high
average of wins against losses. But
he can't be rotated with the others.
Carleton and one or two of the
other young fingers will have to
come through. Despite the Cards
ieague-leading position in team
fielding in 1881, they were only
third in batting, behind the Cubs
and Giants.

SIMPLE equation is supposed
" to carry the destiny of the
~ worlds champion Cardinals
does Dean plus Carleton
plus Starr plus Teachout equal
Grimes?
While the most perplexing matter
at the moment has been the hesi-
fancy of Chick Hafey in reporting
for service, the Cards certainly won
-their 1881 laurels in the pitching
box and will have to hold them
there. Gabby Street believed he
could get along without Grimes
arm, which won II games in 1881
and sewed up the world series.
At the time, Dizzy Dean was
buzzing around with confidence that
this year would see him denting the
major league opposition. But sub
sequent developments have raised
question whether Dean will con-
tribute many of those II wins. Tex
Carleton, Deans minor league slab

advantage, though Dean braced
after his two sorrowful introduc-
tions.
T Asst year the Cards had two men
IL in the deadlock for the batting
championship, Hafey and Bot
tomley, who had been on the skids
in 1880 and was consigned to oblivion
by a few prophets at the opening OF
the 1881 race.
Hafey reported late, but got busy
and delivered a great punch. Street
had a plug all ready to fill the gap
should Bottomley falter in Jim Col
Inns, a nightly capable understudy.
Now Collins is being groomed as a
left fielder and taking the treatment
well. He is a turn-around hitter
and broke in as an outfielder.
Street is giving him plenty OF en-
couragement, but he'll be the SEN
sation of the league if he does every
thing the defending batting cham
pion would be expected to do. And
then there is always the chance
that Hafey may climb on the band
wagon.
Pepper Martin bobbed up last
Fall 10 become the SpotEghted player
of the National League. He hit an
even 300 and showed unbounded pep
and cleverness on the attack. Babe
Ruth and some of the other stars
who know what it is to be in the
glare feel that Martin will have
tough time iustifying his reputation,
but Street has faith in Pepper, and
Pepper has faith in himself
He started the training season
by pressing little, but has dropped
into a groove of nice playing. George
Watkins, the Cards right fielder,
crashed the majors with a vim in
1880, compiling an average of .373.

Foul Line Victories.

When basket ball first became
popular it was largely because
of it's sustained speed, but with
the almost universal adoption
of the tive-man defense and
the development of a whistle
footing complex by the officials
it produces contests of skill in
Stalling which are decided,
more often than not, from the
foul line.
The rushing of the attacking
side, best assured by the old
man -to-man defense, is the
most promising aspect Of the
suggested new amendment to
the governing code.
And while they are about it
the committee might well con-
slider liberalizing the restric-
tions on dribbling. The result
ant increase in body-contact
undoubtedly would make the
game rougher, but what of it?
In the opinion of this column
basket ball is too ladylike, any
how.

Phar Lap to Be Missed.

THE untimely death from
collie of Phar Lap will
l. prove costly, not only to
his owners, but to racing in this
country. The Australian Won
der horse had caught the popu-
lar fancy and was being banked
on to boost interest in a game
facing a tough season, due to
the depression.
Turfdom now will have to
look elsewhere for a standout
horse, capable of packing an
inclosure whenever he appeared.
Incidentally Sun Beau's record
for total earnings should stand
for a long time now, as the big
red gelding was the only track
performer with a chance to
top it.
