 PinehurSt, N. C., March 25.-UP) Failure on the part of the city of Augusta, Ga, to erect monument on thes pot where Gene Sarazen scored his sensational double eagle in the masters invitation golf tour nament last year, brought forth a bitter denunciation today from the Sarazcn Memorial society, of which Sarazen Is the board of officers and only member.
 Sarazen, here for the North and South championship, accused the citizenry of Augusta of gross un- appreciation and Mason and Dixon line bigotry, and said that unless some sort of memorial shaft was erected shortly on the spot where he hit the great brassie to the pine, he might reutrn to his native Italy.
 T have never been as shocked" Sarazen said today, "as when wis., tied Augusta a few days ago. l made the pilgrimage solely to walk once again on the hallowed soil, and to express my thanks for the mar ble shaft which I knew would mark the diyot hole. Wishing to be alone with my thoughts when I reached the Secred spot, tool only Stove Pipe the colored caddy, who was carrying by bags that unforgettable day.
 "As rounded the dog-leg, and the stretch of fairway of the 18th hole came Into view, my heart be- came as lead ,and my head spun aS Hagen's does on those short puts on the morning rounds. There was nothing there-only a middle-aged woman taking a stance for a maShie shot"
 "stovc Pipe" I cried, where Is it?"
 "Where B the shaft, the tablet, the something to mark the greatest shot I ever played?"
 "They ain't put nothing up there, boss. They just chunked a fist full of that rye grass in the diyot hole. I remember the greenSkeeper says, az he threw the seeds in the hold, that now that damned diyot you dug up wouldn't show. He said you dug a bigger hole with wood than most the players did with niblick."
 Sarazen said he felt that the fact he was a Yankee from Connecticut was responsible for the absence of a memorial of any sort. If had been Bobby Jones who made the shot, he said, a fund would have been raised overnight to erect memorial which would have made those at Plymouth Rock, Bunker Hill, and tSone Noun tan, appear as insignificant as foot steps in the sands of time. And if there had been no money raised, he said further, o. B. Keelcr, Bobby

 The Rangers came to town last night with only six men, after their contest had been previously post poned three times due to the Hart ford flood. The upstaters had to travel to Thompsonville, thence to Middletown and then here to play of the contest.

SIX OVERTIME
 PERIODS NEEDED FOR 10 RESULT
Bruneteau Scored on Pass From KiIrea-Amefks
 Beat Hawks
(By Unlted Pressl

Two smashing upsets and . bit- tcrly-fought overtime game featured the opening matches in the Stanley cup playoffs of the National Hockey League.
 Detroit triumphed over Montreal To in a record game of six 0vcr- time periods. It was the first game of a three-oiit- five game series for the National League title.
 Mud" Bruneteau, rookie forward, ended the game by scoring the only goal on a pass from Kilrea after 1l6 minutes, 30 seconds of overtime play. It was the longest hockey game in the history of the league, consisting of a total playing time of 176 mifi- utes, 90 seconds - practically three ordinary games. The two teams will resume tteir battle in Toronto to- morrow night.
 In the other two games Boston won from Toronto, 80, in the play- off for second place, and the New York Americans beat the Chicago BlackhawkS, go, in the playoff for third place. Tn both instances the underdog triumphed, and piled up enough goals to make them top- heavy favorites to hold their ad- vantage in the second games to be pi.yed Thursday night.
 Even though Chicago and Toronto sfotld win their games they face 3-goal handicap to start with, and must score that many goals to start from scratch from last nights victors.
 Alright defensive hockey enabled the Bruins to turn back the favored Marlc Leafs before i6,O00 at Boston. Tiny Thor:pson, Boston goalie, was the games hero, with 35 stops against Hainsworth's five for Torofi- to. The goals were scored by Peggy O'Neil, Eddie Shore and Duguid.
 Dave Sweeney Schriner, leagues leading scorer, led the Americans attack which crushed the Black Hawks before 15,000 in Madison Square Garden. He scored Q pair of goals which started the Ameri- cans off on the long end of their first playoff in seven years. The other goal was made by Lorne Carr midway in the final period.
 Leg weary and on the verge or dr3loing from sheer exhaustion, tho Maroons and Red Wings put up q gallant fight. From start to finish 1t was a battle between goal tenders and Normie Smith in Detroit'S nets won out. .g
 Kilrea and Howe started the play when brought the winning goal. Kirea raced into the Moroon goal zone and Lionel Conachcr made a d pefate effort to halt the play H, los; his footing on the rough leo md fell, and K:lrea came in to pass to Bruneteau who whipped the puck far into the back C.Iner of Chabots net.
