Gamblers Cleaned On Clean Sweep By Toronto Leafs
BY ROBERT WEBB
United Press Staff Correspondent


 Boston, March 31-(UP)-Letting the Bruins fall where they may:
 The gamblers certainly went to the cleaners on the recent Toronto Bruins series Some of the Wag- ering gentry were giving 5-1 the Bruins would win Tuesday .. and before the series started, Boston was an 8-5 favorite to take the Stanley Cup people simply couldn't believe that a team which had beaten Toronto five out of six during the regular season could drop three straight to the same club in the playoffs.
 There's one chap, though, who backed the Leafs to his limit :. he's a street car conductor in To- ronto who stands to win $2000 if the Leafs capture the Stanley Cup /. :. he took the short end of $1000- $100 bet at the start of the season that Toronto would capture the auld mug and he grabbed another short-end wager of $1000-$200 that the Leafs would beat the Bruins three straight in the playoffs.
 As Is
 Generally when team has lost an important series, there's chatter about rebuilding for next season |. but there's no such talk around the Bruins headquarters |. .. Boston still thinks it has the strongest team in either division .. only a few minor changes will be made for another year.
 Gordon Drillon, the Leafs bril- liant young right wing, looks like one of the best opportunists in the business .. he had only one close in shot at Thompson in Toronto Saturday and put the puck in the net to win the game .. and here Tuesday, he scored twice on four chances Manager Connie Smythe terms Drillon "a natural scorer" like the Americans Sweeney Schriner, Gordie is dyna- mite when he's in on the net.
 There's not much doubt that play off hockey differs from the regular brand or else how can one eX- plain the amazing upsets in the post-season series of this and in previous years? |. . during the To- ronto-Boston playoff, the referees did almost nothing but call offsides . holding, in particular, goes un- noticed during the Stanley Cur competition.
 After the Bruins lost the second game in Toronto 2-1, we buzzeo referee Clarence Campbell on the general subject of whistle-blowine during the playoffs ,. Don't yol think some player will be badly hurt If unnecessarily heavy check ing goes unpenalized during tht playoffs," he was asked "No,' he replied, "because the players or both sides are prepared for rougf hockey"
 Can Be Hurt
 This answer is not sound on' .. during an important Rangers Bruins game in Boston during mid season, Milton Schmidt sustained ; broken jaw which nearly cost Bos

MEYER, JEWISH
 MAT CHAMPION, Ex-0L ' M PA N
ChicagOan Never Lost in 9 Years as Amateur;
 Comes Here Friday

Fred Meyer, Jewish heavyweight wrestling champion here Friday night at Buckingham Hall, is one Of those shrinking violets when it comes to getting him to talk about himself or his efforts on the mat. There is one thing he insists on and that is that his name be spelled cor rectly. He says it's Mey"r and not Meyers, % that's that.
 Meyer is a product of Chicago's Jewish colony. He was born over on the west side of that metropolis, but he was fortunate in not being forced to go behind push cart to earn a living. His people were pretty well fixed in worldly goods and he was able to go to school without the usual handicaps of boys of that sec- tion. Through the grade schools he went with much gusto, then to Crane Tech and SMcKinley high schools and later to Depauw Uni versity.
 Hobby
 While attending high school he began to wrestle to keep himself physically it. In 1920 he was a member of the U. s. Olympic cham pionShip team as a light heavy weight. In 1921-22 he was National A. A. U. light heavy and heavy weight champion.
 Up to couple of years ago, he had taken into camp all the light heavyweights and many of the heavyweights. With new fields to conquer, he trained to put on more weight until at the present time he scales 200 pounds, about 180 pounds more than his son, who he says will be his successor as the Jewish cham pion.
 COmical
 Meyer is a real humorist of the wrestling sport. Asked whom he has met, and the outcome ot his match es, he said: "Sonnenberg, Malce- wicz, Deglane, Koloff, Steinke, Kot- sonaro, Stasiak, Ed George, Steach- CT, Plestina, Freberg, McGill, Han son, Pinto, Vassell. Results, win, lose or draw"
 You can tell the promoters and fans," Meyer concluded, that I have done most of my wrestling on the mat, that am the greatest wrestler in the world, that I am the fastest man in the ring and the greatest crowd pleaser that ever donned a pair of tights"
 In the nine years that Meyer wrestled as an amateur, he never lost a match.

NORTH END PALS R0UT CLUBBERS
B. C. Varsity Loses 29=l7 Go-Kings Win Thrilling
 Overtime Prelim
(By Jim Jannetty)

The North End Pals won their second victory of the week at the "" hut last night when they trimmed the Boys club Varsity 29-17 before a capacity crowd. This victory avenged the recent 28-25 setback by the Cottage place cohorts. The Pals, showing the class which made them the North End Senior league champs, led all the way as Joe Rinaldi bombarded the hoops for 12 points to take the top scoring honors for the night. The Ricciuti- men quickly got off to flying start and led 11-2 at the end of the first canto. The Clubbers frightened a bit in the second quarter to hold the North Enders to four points while scording six as the whistle blew with the score 15-8.
 With the regulars back in action for the third session, the Pals scored 12 points while holding the Moore men to four to take a 27-12 ad- vantage going into the last period. Gunshanan scored the last Pal hoop of the game and the Club boys made five to end the scoring 29-17. Chip man and Donnelly were the brilliant players for the losers. The sum- mary:

Eagles, Ramb!ers In Playoff Co Tonight At Arena

New Haven, March 31 - Bruised and battered but filled with con- fidence after outplaying but not outscoring the Philadelphia Ram blers Tuesday night, the New Haven Eagles will face the Ramblers to- night at the Arena here determined to even the play-off series. Well be back here Saturday night, Billy Coutu said as he stamped out of the Philadelphia Arena.
 Despite the 2 to loss in Philly, Eagle hopes scared on the trip back home. "We've got 'em where we want 'em, "Coutu said" They ad- init that they were lucky to win the opener. They know that Gardiner's great goal-tending beat us. But they know too that we're going to score plenty of goals before this series is over."
 Coutu is faced with the possi- bility of losing gaolie Paul Gauthier who was struck in the eye on Tues day. Gauthier couldn't see after that so Coutu ordered the team to rush the Rambres. AS a result, Gauthier had only three easy stops to make during the last fifty minutes of play-while the Eagles smashed 38 drives at Gardiner in the Ram bler's goal.
 Fans Disappointed?
 The Ramblers stock took a ter rife drop in their home town as result of the opening playoff game. Philadelphia fans had few chances to shout as New Haven halted the Ramblers in their own zone and had the hockeyites begging their favorites to "get going"
 Philadelphia comes to New Haven with four men who wore New York Ranger uniforms last week in the National Hockey league playoffs. Murray Patrick and Larry Moly- neaux will bear the brunt of the defense and John Sherf and Jim Waring, who added scoring punch to the Rangers lineup will be up in front
 New Haven will counter with Paul Raymond, George Allan and Ossie Ascundsen, the high-socring line, with Graham and McCully at de- fenSe.

ISLANDERS
 vS. L|THS AGAIN
Maspeth Club Meets K. of L. in Rubber" Game
 Saturday

The latest chapter in an intense basketball rivalry will be unfolded at St. Joseph's hall Saturday night when the Maspeth, L. I. Transfig- urations and the K. of L. meet in their rubber game, the feature con- test of triple header. The Mas peth Transfigurettes will meet St. Joseph's girls and St. Joseph's Holy Name will face the Greatneck K. of L. in the preliminary contests.
 The Knights have played Mas peth teams six teams in two sea- sons and have come off with an even break. The Transfigurations handed the local Liths a 50-36 past ing as the K. of L. opened the sea- son at Long Island Thanksgiving night, but the Knights squared matters with a 44-37 victory a month later.
 A spirit of heated albeit good natured rivalry has been manifest ed in all these games and although relations between the teams are but two years old, they promise to de- velop into an eventual time-hon- ored tradition.
 The Maspeth club has won the championship of the Long Island Pro circuit this year and Tony Cookie" Kryger and Bernie Kap- pen two of it's standout performers were the two top scorers during the league campaign.
 The Knights have won six in a row and nine straight at home and are determined to close their home season in a blaze of glory by knock ing off the Long Islanders and con- cluding with the highly regarded Albany Y. M. H. A. next week.
