 ENDS FACE K OF L
Joe Marc and Mates Meet Liths Saturday Night
 Here

Joe Marc, the Bristol pepper box, will make his seasons debut as a basketball player locally when the West Ends, champions of th~ Bell Town, invade St. Joseph's hall for meeting with the fast-step- ping K of l.. combine.
 The Liths, riding along smoothly on the crest of 8 winning streak, must guard against over-confidence or they will share the same fate suffered by the Bristol Captains who were flying along at fast clip until the Ends put a dent in their armor twice to win the Bristol championship series last month.
 Popular
 In addition to Marc, who is ac- cepted as native son in the Brass City after the great catching job he did for the North End Thomas club in the City Amateur league last summer, the Ends have Gene Hayes, one of the most brilliant products of Bristol high court teams in re- cent years. With these two accent ing speed. sphit and real playing ability the Ends are capable of up- setting the K. of L. and figure to make it interesting all the way.
 The Liths have won their last five games, their last eight at home, and nine of their last 10. Only once in their last 10 games have they failed to hit the gong for at least 50 points. Tn winning IA of g games the Knights have scored 1,161 points, for an average of 53 a game. The opposition has not been idle in the meanwhile, with 1,066 points for an average of 48 per contest.

RANGERS AND LES CANAD|ENS
 PICKED TO WIN
Hockey Subway Series" in New YOrk-Bruins
 8 to 5 for Cup
By LESLIE AVERY

(UnlIe0 FreSS Stan COrreSpOnuenLD
 New York, March 22-(UP)-The New York Rangers ana Montreaps Canadiens were favorites today to win their opening skirmishes of the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs. The elimination series between second and third place clubs of the Nation al League get underway on two fronts tonight.
 The Rangers were quoted at 3-2 to win the opener and at 8-5 to eliminate their intra-city rivals, the Americans, in New York's first sub way series since 1929. Les CanadienS were picked at about the same odds to vanquish the Chicago Black Hawks.
 Confusing
 This antiquated system of deter mining annually the boss of world hockey sends six of the leagues eight teams into an involved round of eliminationS that extends the ice sport into mid-April-when all good sports fans should be thinking about baseball. The extenuated play is comparable to throwing 12 of the 16 major league baseball clubs into world series of series" lasting un- til Thanksgiving.
 The leagues first place clubs, Boston in the American division and Toronto in the Canadian group, will rot begin their best of five series for the league title until Thursday in the Maple Leaf city. The winner will go into the final against the ul- timate victor of second and third place club eliminations.
 The Ranger-American and Chi cago-Montreal series are on best of three basis with the two winners meeting in another best of three games to determine which will meet the winner of the Boston, Toronto tie in another best of five series for the cup-the trophy put up by Lord Stanley, governor general of Canada a half-century ago.
 In New York, Boston was made an 8-5 favorite to capture the cup as a result of the Bruins brilliant season of 30 victories, seven ties and II losses. In inter-club competition Boston bested every outfit in the league with the exception of Cana dlens, and the Bruins proved to be the best road club when they won 12, tied four and lost eight.
 Best Bet
 The Rangers were favored heavily over the Americans because in six games between the two teams this year, the Rangers won four tied one and lost only one. Lester Patricks crew had season record of 27 vic- tories, six ties and IS loses. Their 60 points were II more than the Americans gained with a season comprised of 19 wins, 18 losses and II ties.
 The Amerks' 18th victory on the final night of the season was all that gained them second place over Les Canadiens, who also rolled up total of 49 points. The flying Frenchmen totaled their points with 18 wins, r losses and 13 ties. Against Chicago over the season, Canadiens lost but one game. winning three and play ing two ties.
 Behind Boston, odds against other teams capturing the cup are: Rang CTS 11-5, Toronto 3-1, Canadiens 6-1, Americans 10-1, and Chicago 15-1.

Executive Board Ouerrules "FEilI" Referee
Fighting Players Allowed
 To Return To Game
 Despite Leagues Strict Rule

Repercussions of last nights play off at the Washington Park Com munity House, which resulted in the elimination of the Baldwin Props by the Community Club, 29-28, loomed today even hotter" than the game itself.
 The Props, although undecided as to their course of action, have plenty of support in their belief that they suffered an injustice at the hands of the leagues executive board. The board allowed three players to return to the game last night after they had been banished by Referee Johnny Mccormack for fighting.
 Trio Banished
 Early in the game, Sonny Romeo of the Props, and the Loughltn bro- thers, Cliff and Howie of the Con- munities, were put out of the game by Referee Mccormack who was working in accordance with recog- nized rules, and also with the leagues bylaws which state that a fighting player shall be 'banished from that game and suspended from playing his teams subsequent game Several teams have suffered in- estimably by the enforcement of this rule during the year.
 There is no authority in the world which allows an executive board to restore players to a game after they have been banished by the referee.
 Manager Ned Kenney of the Props will undoubtedly ask the board to order replay of the game because of these out of the ordinary circumstances. If they refuse action he may ask an unaffiliated group to take action.
 After the near-riot last night, Jimmy Tracy was called on to act as umpire in assistance of Referee Mccormack. The contest was close from the start to finish, and the packed house was tense with eX- citement.
 Free ThOw Won
 The Communities won by virtue of foul shot made good in the last quarter by Paddy Damelio. That point was the only marker scored by the team in the last period, while the Props scored six points.
 The preliminary resulted in 34- 16 victory for the Flashy Five over the Shamrocks. The scores:

CassolUary Bird
 Lays $75 Egg

New Haven, March 22-The millennium has arrived-and in New Haven, too. The famed cassowary bird, captured in the Malay jungle by Frank Buck and exhibited this week at the Outdoor Life and Sportsmen's show at the New Haven Arena, laid an egg yesterday.
 Buck captured the bird three years ago, and, unable to deter mine it's sex, patiently waited. A year ago, he mated the bird with a female-believing 1t to be a male.
 Yesterday, after one day in New Haven, the bird laid a nine inch egg proving that Buck had made mistake. The egg, con- sidered a rarity, is valued at $75.

JAPANESE COLUMN
BLOCKED 10 DAYS

SHANGHAI, Jan. 26. (UP).-
A Japanese column attempting to
drive south through Shantung
province along the grand canal
has been halted for 10 days, re-
liable reports said today.
Foreign military authorities
here said they believed that the
japanese were facing the heaviest
fighting of the Chinese-Japanese
war in. the. present North China
operations and as q result were
rushing heavy reinforcements to
the area.
The Northern Chinese armies,
inspired by a personal visit from
Generalissimo Chang Kai Shek
and new commanding officers,
were reported putting up the
sternest resistance the Japanese
have met so far.
Heavy, scattered fighting was
reported from all northern fronts
along the Lunghai railroad, the
Chinese life line" in Shantung
province, where the defenders
continued to reinforce their posi-
tions after a 48-hour stalemate.
The heaviest fighting was re-
ported in the vicinity Of Wuhu
and Hohsien in Anhwei province
where the first pitched battle
since the fall of Shanghai carried
on through the night with enorm-
Gus casualties on both sides after
three days of deadlock.
Further north, on the Tsining
front, Chinese and Japanese
struggled for possession of strong
Chinese defense works through
which the Japanese armies are at
tempting to smash their way for
drive southwark to cut the i'm
portant Lunghai railroad. The
japanese are attempting to cut
the east-west railroad at kweiteh.
Along the southern coast, mean
while, Japan continued her aerial
warfare against the Canton area
in an effort to slice China's "life
line" of communications to the in
terror and halt foreign arms ship
ments to the Chinese armies.
Thirty japanese airplanes late
yesterday bombed railroads in the
Canton area and attempted to de-
stroy the Tienho airdrome, near
the American Seventh Day Ad-
ventist hospital.
The attack on the airdrome was
against a new shipment of Brit
ish airplanes for the Chinese
forces. Chinese anti-aircraft guns
drove off the enemy planes after
they dropped 20 bombs with only
slight damage.
The Canton Samshui, Canton
Kowloon railways suffered heavy
aerial bombardments throughout
yesterday.
Chinese reports said q Japanese
plane machine-gunned a passeng..
er train on the Canton-Samshul
line, killing four persons ana
wounding several others.
