Prophets Confounded
As Rangers Stretch
Hockey Series
Bruins, After Winning
Three Straight, Now
Only One Ahead
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. March 3l.-It's q
good thing there is a limit to the
number of games these National
Hockey League teams can play to
decide the Stanley Cup or else some
one might confuse the present play
offs with perpetual motion.
The Boston Bruins and the New
York Rangers, who finished a not
very close first and second in the
regular season and ought to know
when to stop, just can't seem to
come to a decision.
The Rangers edged out 81 de-
cision after II minutes and 10 Sec
onds of overtime last night to pro-
long their debate until at least
Saturday at Madison Square Gar
den. If they should win again the
rules call for a showdown at Boston
Sunday highland just IN the nick
of time, too.
Nobody, it is believed, expected
the series to stretch like this. The
Bruins won their first three games
in row and the only hint that
the boys we're not following script
was the Rangers insistence on add
ing a total of ST minutes and 49
seconds overtime onto the first two
games.
Then Tuesday night when the
matter could have been settled in
Bostons favor with the least wear
and tear on all parties concerned,
the tenacious Rangers ripped out a
81 triumph which will be remem-
bered as one Of the most bruising
fights of the 1899 Madison Square
Garden season, which has been
punctuated with good fights almost
every week.
There were ro fisticuffs last night,
but full complement of action.
The Detroit Red Wings and To-
ronto Maple Leafs also are carry
ing on an extensive debate for the
other berth in the final.
After losing their first encounter
at Toronto, Al, the Red Wings re-
taliated with a 81 victory on their
own ice last night.
The limit for this series. however,
is three games, making a decision
mandatory tomorrow night, when
they shift back to Toronto.

'Rook HurIer of Year
Title Goal Of Many
By JOHN LARDNER,

opcCldl SulIcSpOuuCut Va AAC otdA.
NEW YORK, March 31.-As the
boys continue to bump Frederick
Charles Hutchinson around the map
Of Florida in spring training ball
games, the suspicion grows that Fred
is not the rookie of the year, though
he did cost the most.
In fact, he may not even be the
pitching rookie of the year. Detroit
laid out $4,000 In cash for Hutchin-
son and another s50,00o in slightly
soiled ivory. The Tigers needed
pitching, especially after they dis
posed of Eden Auker and Jake
Wade. They went to market for
Seattle's brash young box office SEN
sation, stole him from under the
nose of Bullfiddle Bill Benswanger
of Pittsburgh and asked him to
pitch as advertised. Thus far, Fred
erick has failed to comply.
There was another pitcher In the
Pacific Coast League last year who
shared the technical honors with
Hutch, though he failed to lure as
much cash through the wickets.
This was Manual Salvo, the big San
Diego italian. The New York Giants
bought Salvo quietly. while the IT,
gers were buying Hutchinson with
q loud rustic of banknotes and for
something like one-third the price.
Terry Claims He Picked
boreoin in SoIvo
Today William Terry. the Giant
mastermind, is confident that he
picked himself the best pitcher on
the Coast, If not the best new pitcher
of the year. And the grapefruit
record, sometimes deceptive. some
times not, supports Mr.. Terry. Salvo
has shackled March hitting, while
Hutchinson has not.
Salvo is big, strong and fast,
strike-out pitcher. Hutchinson is
big and strong enough, but he re-
lies on soft stuff, control, and what
my Coast operatives tell me Is the
best competitive disposition they
ever have seen.
Don't sell Hutchinson short"
says the coastal report. HE always
looks lousy, but he always wins
1t will take a full season of play
to decide between these two West
ern phenomena. Meanwhile. Bill
McKechnie of Cincinnati has a
hunch that he and nobody else
owns the pitching rookie Of the
year, and 1t turns out to be some
one else entirely. This is Gene
Thompson, a handy kid from the
Sally League, with good speed. It's
hard to say what McKechnie wants
with more pitching. Nothing seems
to satisfy this grasping gray wizard.
There are other claimants to the
title. For instance:
Roberto Ortiz, Washington. This
strapping fireball pitcher was stolen
from off a Cuban sugar plantation.
and is said to be the fastest thing
to come along since Walter john
son, though I think, myself, that
Robert Feller has trifle more zizz
on the ball.
