Plans Nearly Complete
For Dawes Cup Play

Arrangements are expected to be
completed this week for the Dawes
Cup interhigh golf series among
boys from five public high schools.

which this year is captained by Cliff
Gruver, has won the big trophy pre-
sented to the schoolboys back In

Vice President of the United States.

Chalk Up Two GooIs
In 81 Seconds in
Beating Bruins
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, April 1O.-As the scenes
in the Stanley Cup hockey play offs
shifted today, the speedy Toronto
Maple Leafs, although deadlocked
with the Boston Bruins at one-game
all, appeared to be in the drivers
seat.
After dropping the opening clash
in this four out of-seven games cup
series in ragged fashion by a 81
margin, the Leafs, refreshed by a
three-day rest, squared matters last
night by outplaying the Bruins just
when it counted the most for 3-2
overtime triumph.
AS a result, the Maple Leafs, who
opened as 1916 shortenders, return
to their home ring for the next two
games, tomorrow and Thursday, as
slight favorites.
Leafs Capitalize on Penalty.
The Leafs opened in whirlwind
fashion and took advantage of the
first Boston penalty, imposed on
Mel (Sudden Death) Hill, to score

When the second session got
under way, the Bruins almost melted
the ice with their furious charges,
which finally cracked the defense
long enough for Roy Conacher and
Hill to score twice in about minute
and deadlock the game.
Romnes Is Opportunist.
After playing an even third period
the Leafs found an opening during
the eleventh minute of overtime,
when Gus Marker led a three-man
rush and carried into the back
boards. Before being trapped, he
passed out to Harvey Jackson along
the left sideboards.
In their eagerness to render Jack
son harmless, the Bruins overlooked
the Flying Doc Romnes. who arrived
near their net in time to defect
Jacksons angled pass through an
opening in Goalie Frankie Brimsek's
cage and put his team on an even
footing with the National Hockey

Even Phils Cont Rote
More Than 100 to !

The Red Sox are the only Amerl-
can League club with a chance 10
beat the Yankees. The chance is
not very good, but this department
has a congenital aversion to bet
ting on odds-on favorites in base
ball. There really is no such thing
as an odds-on favorite. Two quick
wounds in the ball clubs vitals, and
where is the ball club?
In the other league, known to its
close friends as the National, we
feel that there are seven evenly
matched clubs. That being the case,
why bother with the three which pay
no odds? The other four-Pirates,
Cardinals, Bees and Dodgers-pre-
sent a very fair spread and any one
Of them might win.
We are thinking of going around
and heckling Mr.. Doyle with few
dollars worth of Red SoX Pirate and
Cardinal money, and perhaps cou-
pie of show bets on the Bees and
Dodgers. We had him worried right
down to closing time last year with
a parlay on the Pirates and YAM
KEGS, and the professor tells us that
he sprouted five new gray hairs,
known today as the Lardner Memo
rial Thicket.
The Philadelphia Phillies being as
bad as they were last season, you
might suppose that the odds maker
would lay a cozy 5000 to l against
them. But Mr.. Doyle says no.
mo, indeed" are his exact words.
"A fellow came around to me the
other day and bet S. across the
board on the Phillies. I gave him
$50 to /, so to l and Is to l. That
means I lose $1,125 If he hicks me
And the Phils still own franchise
don't they? When I'm ready to
commit suicide I'll pass the word
around"
That's the situation in the Grim
son world of gambling as we stumble

Odds at 2-to-5 to Win
Another Yonk Record
By JOHN LARDNER,
0pecial Correspondent Of The Star.


NEW YORK, April 10.-The New
York Yankees have set another rec
ord. Last year, at the start of the
season, they were the shortest
priced betting favorites in the his
tory of modern baseball, at odds of
3 to S. This year they shatter their
own mark. They are to S.
In other words, the remaining
seven clubs in the American League,
combined, are considered to have
less than half the chance of Cousin
Egbert Barrow's powerful three-time
champions.
This rating is not strictly accurate.
It is the brain-child of John Tecum-
sch Doyle. Broadways hereditary
odds maker. and Mr.. Doyle, know
ing what the Yankees can do to
him financially if they win for the
fourth straight year with heavy bet
ting support, is giving himself the
best of the percentage.
But what good is percentage"
walls Mr.. Doyle "if the public bets
on 'em anyway and the Yankees
win anyWay?"
