BLACkHA KS,
 1O-1 UNDERD0GS IN HOCKEY FINAL
Stanley Cup PlayOff Starts in TOrOntO-AmeriCans
 Lose 3=2
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondentv
 New York, April 4(UP)-AN that is needed to complete the cycle of upsets in the National Hockey League is for the ChicaPo Black Hawks to smash the champion Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup final.
 The Black Hawks defeated the New York Americans 3-2 here last night to win the semi-final of tha cup playoff, two game out of three. The Maple Leafs are 2-1 favorites to win the cup final which begins in Toronto tomorrow night, but If the Hawks should take the trophy in three straight, 1t would be no more startling than the round of upsets that began witk the failure of the Detroit Red Wings to win 8 playoff berth.
 Topped
 The Wings, league and Stanley Cup champions for the last two years, were rated one of the Strongs est teams in the circuit, but they never even threatened to repeat, and as the season wore on 1t was just a matter of whether they were worse than the Hawks. The Wings were worse by two point2.
 In the four cup playoffs series to date every winne- has been the un. der dog. The Boston Bruins, Amer" ican division champions, and 8-5 ia. vorites to win the cup, were bowled over in three straight by the Toron~ to skaters. The New York Rangers, rate even higher than the Leafs and second only to the Bruins were knocked off by the Americans. The odds-makers said it was 10-1 that Chicago wouldn't win the cup, but the Hawks beat Montreals Cana- diens, rated at 6-1.
 The Americans were 3-1 to beat Chicago in the mi-final, and after they had won the first game the odds jumped to 5-1, but the Hawks won the second game on home ice, then routed the AmerkS at Madison Square Garden before crowd of 15,351 last night.
 When LoTne took a relay from Nels Stewart and Tommy Anderson to score at 19:40 of the opening period for New York, prices of 10-1 were freely offered in the Garden with no takers. But in the second session the Hawks came back to tic the count on Earl Siebert's marker at 14:53 then went ahead on Alex Levinsky's marker at 17:43.
 Tried Hard
 When the third session started the Americans sent five down the ice time and again, but the maneuver backfired, and Paul Thompson Tipped pass to DOC Romnes, who had skated halfway up the rink. Romnes easily fooled Goalie Earl Robertson. With less than four min- utes to go Red Beattie tailed again for New York, and in final des- perate gesture, Manager Red Dut- ton removed Robertson from his nets, to put five forwards on the ice. But it was futile. The Chicago | defensemen were invulnerable and the Hawks reached the final for the first time since the 1933-34 season when they won the cup.
 Second game of the final also will be played in Toronto on Thursday night. The two teams then move to | Chicago for the third game on Sunday. If two more games are needed the first will be played in Chicago April and thc fifth in Toronto on April 10.
