LEAFS
 ALL EVEN WITH
 BOSTON BRUINS
Power Play. Proves BOOm= erang-Scene Shifts to
 Canadian Ice
By TOM NOONAN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, April 10-CUP)-The ice hockey world series moved to Tor onto today with the Maple Leafs needing to win only their home games to take the Stanley cup and thus perpetuate the most persistent jinx in playof history.
 The Leafs nosed the Bruins 3-2 in an overtime game last night for an even break in the opening pair at Boston. Three of the next four games are scheduled on Toronto ice and the Leafs have record of seven straight playoff victories over the Bruins in their home arena which is both longer and wider than Boston's Garden. Toronto and Boston have met four times in past playoffs, and the Bruins have been vanquished every time. It was the Leafs who eliminated the Bruins in three straight last year.
 A crowd of 16,589 saw Bruin power play misfire and Toronto steal the puck to score the winning goal after 10 minutes and 38 seconds of play in the sudden death session last night. Boston won the first game of the best-of-seven final 2-1 Thursday night. They play tomor- row and Thursday at Toronto, and come back here for Sunday nights game. If necessary, the sixth will be played at Toronto April IS and the seventh at Boston April 20.
 Quick Work
 A penalty to Mel Hill, Bruin Wingman, paved the way for Tor onto's first two goals. While he was serving time the Leafs rushed both tallies past Goalie Frank Brimsek in less than a minute.
 Center Murph Chamberlain start ed it at 8:55. A double relay from Gordon Drillon and Bingo Ramp mann set up the shot, and he drilled it into the nets from less than six feet out. Just 34 seconds later, Syl Apps scored on a set shot from 30 feet after taking pass from Drillon and Metz.
 Boston Manager Art Ross realized the Bruins couldn't win by guard ing their goal, so he jerked Jack Portland in the second period and injected flesh Hollett into the line up. The maneuver paid dividends on the first rush down the ice when Hollett and Bill Cowley passed to Roy Conacher, who blazed the puck past Turk Broda at 15:05. The Vet eran Eddie Shore led the next at- tack, and was credited with an as- sist along with Cowley, as rookie Hill scored the equalizer at 16:18.
 When the overtime began, the Leafs waited for the kind of break that has prevented them from ever losing two straight playoff games to the Bruins, and they got it.
 Boomerang
 Boston had just started one of its famed drives when Wingman Gus marker snared the puck on a broadway. He flashed it to Busher Jackson as he crossed the blue line. and Jackson eased it to the veteran Center Jack Rommes, who skated in on Brimsek and fired from about three feet.

DOYLE DOPE ON
 BASEBALL RACE HAS YANKS2 TO-
Broadw'y Odds=layer Says Champs Cinch; National
 a "DOg-fight"
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent New York, April 10.-(UP)-Jack Doyle, whose baseball odds are Bible to the betting fraternity, today called the New York Yankees the most i'm proved club in the American League and made them the shortest priced favorite in history to win their fourth straight pennant.
 The 62-year-old price maker, known as "Old Man Broadway" will bet $5 to $2 that the Tanks win the flag. Last year he offered 3-5.
 I've been watching baseball for half century" he said, land I've nev- CT seen anything nearer a cinch than the Yankees They had the best club in the land for three years, and they've improved more than any of the rest"
 Cubs or Reds?
 But it is different story in the National League, where Doyle has grouped three clubs for dog fight. He thinks the champion Chicago Cubs will win and has priced them choice at 11-5, and New York third at 2-1. Cincinnati is his second at 12-5. He warned however, that these odds probably will not be final.
 After all it is the public that makes the price, and the betting in the next ten days may cause several shifts in the National League" he said. "But I don't look for any change in the Yankees price,"
 Doyle's odds are the result of his personal observation, opinions of writers and other baseball men, con- sideration of how they finished the previous season, and application of his own mathematical system. In 30-odd years of quotin gbaseball odds has has made but one terrific error. That came in 1914 when he offered 1OO-1 against the Boston Braves.
 Four Straight?
 Discussing this years American League race, Doyle discounted the fact that hte pennant never had been won four times striaght.
 That's lot of bunk" he said. "The Clans did it in the National League in the '20's, and the Tanks have a better club han McGraw had Unless they run into siege of in- juries, they shouldn't have lot of trouble. It is going to be quiet job for these other clubs to knock off the Tanks because they have developed 8 certain timidity when they face McCarthy's team. They kind of fold up when the pressure is on."
 Doyle said the National League race was likely to be one of the toughest ever seen in a circuit fa- nous for its close finishes.
 "The Cubs are loaded with ifs" he said, land Hartnett did not look like great manager in the world ser iseb,ut we'll skip that and give him fresh start. The Reds look like the class of the league if Grissom can pitch winning ball. The Giants are a question mark, and you can forget about them without HubbeIl.
 "The public is washed up on Pittsburgh. It will take a long time for them ot live down their flop last year. The Cardinals are coming along and might get in the race, but they look like at least another year away. The Bees will prove trouble some, and Brooklyn is the surest thing in the world to finish seventh That leaves the Phillies last as usual"

Joe Boley had four free throws in the final minute. He made two and missed two, three would have meant overtime and all four would give the K. of L. much desired victory. Summary:

 Merchants Loop

Tonight we ring down the curtain on our first successful season of competition.
 To all the merchants we extend our sincerest thanks for their splen- did cooperation and generosity.
 At this time the teams are so closely punched that the winner will have to be crowned after tonight's matches. May the best team win or should it be the luckiest.
 Credit should be given to the Mar giotta team, though they were not the class of the league their never say die spirit caused plenty of worry to their opponents. Punctuality and a full team at all times was another asset to them. Better luck next year, boys.
 Dams team to me was the class of the league but in handicap league you have to pay the penalty, so boys you sure can take those losses with a grin.
 Moschella's win last week earned him a box of cigars, but you better save them because McCarthy's are hot and they claim they will be smoking them after tonight's game, here's luck to both of you.
 All team captains please attend meeting after games so that all the business on hand will be cleared up. Our banquet is to be held Monday April IT at 8:30 at the Legion Grill a good time is assured all by the committee.
 To John Cluney we extend our sim cere thanks for his valuable time and cooperation.
 To all the boys thanks and though you may not have come in the money, you were good sports at all times. Here's to seeing you back next year.
 Best of luck to all teams.
