BRUINS AND LEAFS
PLAY VITAL GAME
Clash Tonight May Decide
Most Places in Series
for Hockey Title.
BY the Associated Press.

6s TIC f1SoOCldleo
n YEW YORK, March 19.-The
nj lineup of the six National
" Hockey League teams for the
post-season play-offs will not
be decided until the final week end
of the regular season, even though the
uncertainty whether the Boston Bruins
or New York Rangers will participate
may be cleared up tonight.
If the Bruins whip the Toronto
Maple Leafs, that will settle all ques-
tions about most of the places. Such
a triumph not only would assure Bos-
ton of finishing ahead of the Rangers,
but would condemn the Maple Leafs
to second place in the International
Division behind the Montreal Ma
rooms.
Tie Would Be Effective.
A TIE would be almost as effective,
- clinching third place so far as
Boston is concerned. but it would leave
Toronto with an outside chance. of
tying the Maroons on points and TAX
ing the top place on the basis of
games won.
However, the Chicago-Detroit con-
test for the American Division lead
comes in to complicate affairs: De-
troit's pace-setting Red Wings are
only points ahead of their Chicago
rivals with Boston another point be-
hind. The Wings could clinch first
place by winning. But that, coupled
with a Boston victory would drop the
Chihawks point behind Boston with
one game to go for each team. A
Blackhawk triumph or draw would
leave the decision up to the closing
games Saturday and Sunday.

A year ago the club relied heavily
on a veteran cast, headed by Babe

Even a causal glance at the

Clark Griffith once again Is running

rigged up a grand scouting system.
It's hard to say et isn't so. How
else could a ball club pick up kids
like Buddy Lewis, Cecil Travis and
Dee Miles and have them all show
promise of arriving" at the same
time?
But it isn't so. The swivel-chair

other major league organization.
One needs only to study the sole
sore spot on the Washington club
