tional Hockey League playoffs will
be resumed on two fronts tonight.
with the New York Americans en-
tertaining the Chicago Black
Hawks here and the Boston
Bruins lined up against the To-
ronto Maple Leafs at Boston.
From the way the playoffs have
gone to date, the eventual winner
will be established not only as
holder of the Stanley Cup but also
as the "best worst" team in the
circuit.
Currently, Toronto, which was
expected to succumb without too
much waste Of time against the
Bruins, is leading by two games
to none in the series that also
carries with it the league title,
with the best three out OF five de-
Gliding it.
The survivor of that playoff will
meet the winner of the Black
Hawk-American series here, the
latter two having qualified for
the long, drawn-out post-SeaSon-
cup play by eliminating two Of
the highly-favored teams.

The verbal battle between
Hymie Blaustein and Goldie
Ahearn continues apace today
with neither party nearer an
agreement. Ahearn, in his ca
pacity as matchmaker of Turner's

Abrams with Jimmy Jones, but
Blaustein, Jones manager, doesn't
like the terms.
Jones, it may be recalled,
knocked out Abrams last week
and he's willing to do it again
for an enticing figure. This lat

LOCAL PROS VIE.
FOR OPENING AT
INDIAN SPRING

Principal topic of conversation
in local golf circles these days
centers around the naming Of a
successor to George Diffenbaugh,
who resigned as pro of the Indian
Spring Country Club last Satur-
day to take a similar position at
the Roanoke (Va) Country Club.
Several APPLICATIONS have been
received by Mrs. G. A. Won Stein
ner, manager of the club, who
will have final say in the selection
of a new pro. Most of the local
pros, it is understood, have made
application or signified their in
tentions of doing so. However, it
seems unlikely that Roland Mac
kenzie, of Congressional or Bob
Barnett, of Chevy Chase, would
consider leaving their present
posts.
MORE CANDIDATES
Cliff Spencer, who resigned as
professional at the Beaver Dam
club last year, and Glenn Spencer,
the Baltimore pro, are known to
have filed their applications. 1t
is doubtful, though, that Cliff will
be named to the job as his re-
application for the Beaver Dam
post is being given serious con-
sideration by the executive com.
mittee of the club. Naming Of
Cliff for his old post is expected
to be made later in the week.
It Is not known what other pros
have made applications for the
Indian Spring job, but it is be-
lieved AL Jameson, assistant at
Kenwood, is among them. jamie
son is popular around Washington
and is understood to have more
than an outside chance of getting
the post.
POPULAR PRO
Diffenbaugh's departure leaves
gap that will be hard to fill. The
little fellow, who hits his tee shots
Just about as far as one of those
driving machines, is popular with
the club members and will be
Sorely missed by those who have
become accustomed to his mild,
even temper. More than a few suns
will rise and set over the Indian
Spring course before another Diff
fenbaugh is found.
Going to the Roanoke club, lie
believes, is one Of the best breaks
he's had. Aside from the money
angle, which enters so promi-
mently in a change of this sort,
his new position will be more
stable, he feels. Established in
1907, the Roanoke club is one of
the Oldest in the Old Dominion
State.
