peared broken today and those Ma
tional Hockey League titlists were
one game up and three to go to gain
the priced Stanley Cup that has
eluded them for 10 seasons.
BY unfolding an almost alright
defense in front of Goalie Frankie

back-checking forwards who haunted
the All-Stars Gordon Drillon and
Syl Apps, the Bruins gained q 81
triumph in the rather drab opening
contest last night.
While never in apparent danger.
the Bruins appeared destined to go
through some more sudden-de

Bobby Bauer, came to their rescue

Hader-Ryan Rematch

Mat Windup

A rematch involving Jack Hader
and Red Ryan doomed today for
local mat followers. with those
grapplers paving the way to an
other session of squirming last night
at Turner's Arena with mudewed
script.
1t was the old story of the ref
cree, Benny Bortnick, in this in
stance conveniently fainting away
for several seconds as the hero,
Ryan, pinned the villain, Hader.
Hader pulled the gag of patting
Ryan on the back and Red, thinking
he had been awarded the match by
Bortnick, released Jack and climbed
to his feet. Hader connected with
a series of punches to Ryan's chin
and f1attened him. Bortnick. of
course, recovered in time to count
out Ryan. The nonsense consumed
26 minutes.

Take the National League" he
said. "At least, I wish you could
take it, though guess I'm stuck
with it. What a race! How are you
going to tell those teams apart?
The Cubs, being last years win
ners, will have to be favorite. The
Giants have a good chance, if Hub
bell and Whitehead come through
for them. Hubbell doesn't need to
win 20 games, but, If they lose him
for the season, it may be curtains.
The rest of the club stands or falls
with Whitehead.
Pittsburgh? Still a good team,
but I don't think the public will
bother betting on them, and it's the
public that makes my odds. Well
have some action on Cincinnati.
That's a dark horse club, with plenty
of good youngsters. I may have to
shift the price and make EN-
favorite if the action gets too fast.
II don't think much of St. Louis

hustle like they used to. And what
are they going to use for pitching?
Boston is about the same speed,
right on the lip of the first division.
But you can't tell, anybody might
win, even Brooklyn. Even the Phil
lies. You won't catch me laying and
5000 to l against the Phils just be-
cause they're supposed to be the

NEW YORK. April THE "big

Smack dab in the middle of the
3-year -old racing campaign you'll
find the Old Colonel, who holds the
championship; the persistent fellow
who's been picking up on him in
the last 10 years. and the "upstart"
who made off with the necklace of
roses at Louisville last year.
Reading from left to right these
three. each boasting pretty fair

other top tussles of the season, are:

four of his famous "B" line in the
Derby winners circle, and who hopes

Johnstown Is Fine Entry.
William Woodward. whose knowl-
edge of breeding of racing stock has
produced two Derby victors. and
who has a fine big entry in Johns
town.
And Herbert M. Woolf, the Kansas
City business man who may not have
the others big league seasoning, but
who won in '38 with Lawrin and who
thinks he has a mighty good chance
again with the experienced Tech
nician.
