 However, the Siders are confident they can take one of the two games of the series and force play into a third contest to decide the laurels.
 They certainly didn't see anything to frighten them or shake their be- lief in themselves last Saturday night when the K. of L. went 18 minutes with only seven points against capable Tobacco Road Tramp quintet. the visitors even- tually pulling through with a 45-43 victory as the Liths found their scoring eye too late.
 The loss was the second straight and the sixth in 21 games for the Knights this season. However, the Liths are figured to have the edge ability, experiene and their own floor against the Siders.
 Tomorow's game will start at goo o'clock, St. Joseph's Holy Name talk ing on the Hopeville Speedboys at 7:3O. Dancing will follow the feature winch will be refereed by Charlie Petrino, of Bridgeport.

BOSTON BRUINS.
 SEEK NEW BLOOD. FOR NEXT YEAR
ReardOn Goes Up==Injuries Weakened Stanley
 Cup Chances
By TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, April 1.-(UP)-The bat tered Boston Bruins, deposed Stan- ley cup hockey titlists, gather to- night for banquet at Back Bay hotel before disbanding for the sea- son with the possibility that several players may not return this fall.
 Manager Art Ross, proud of his teams gallant stand against the New York Rangers, said he had no complaints or alibis.
 There's little wrong with this club" said Ross as he arrived here from New York last night with newsmen. Looks like I'll have to find room for Terry Reardon and maybe repair the defense a bit. That's about all"
 For more than 50 minutes, the Bruins, reduced to 13 players by injuries and using the 20-year-old rookie Reardon as third-line cen- ter, held the speeding Rangers even before losing Al, in the sixth game of their semi-final best-of-seven series at New York Saturday night. The win advanced the Rangers to the final with Toronto
 The Bruins assumed a 10 lead in the final minute of the first period and earned the plaudits of New York fans by their attempts to carry i the play to the Rangers. The Rang CTS capitalized in the second period on a goal by Allie Pike when a Bruin power play backfired. Alex Shibicky delivered the pay-of blow at 11:O9 of the final period.
 Very Costly
 The goal proved doubly costly tc the Bruins chances. For Defense. man Red Hamill was given a majol penalty when Shibicky crashed the backboards after counting and suf- fered face cuts.
 As Hamill served his five min- utes, the Rangers turned on the full power of their streamlined attack against the rapidly -tiring Bostor team. Clint Smith and Phil Wat son each registered to clinch th' verdict before Hamin returned iron the cooler.
 Typical of the spirit of the Bruins who were without the services O , four regulars, was little Bobb. Bauer, a winger on the famet "kraut" line Bauer, whom tean physicians said Never should hay ; played" because of leg injuries, suf fered shoulder and chest hurts dur ing the game when he twice wa ; banged against the boards on sol' rush. He was forced to retire bu later returned tightly wrapped il tape.
 Bauer was aided to the trail home, by teammates and then pu to sleep by sedatives. He will hav X-rays taken today to determin the full extent of his injuries.
 Thus the season ends for a Bos ton team that retained it's Nationa Hockey league championship thougl playing for the first time in IA sea sons without all-star Defensemal Eddie Shore. The playoff injurie climaxed a season that saw Johnn, Crawford and Roy Conacher side lined more than a third of thu campaign and other players crip pied at critical periods.

OF JAP ANE S z
AGENTS IN EMPIRE DE-
GLAZED ISSUE JAPS WILL
USE AS EXCUSE FOR WAR

LONDON, Aug 5.-Serious
danger of outbreak of war be-
tween Japan and England came
today as Tokyo forwarded bitter
protests to this city concerning
the seizure of nine japanese
agents by the British in various
parts of the empire for alleged
espionage work
British diplomats were report
ed hard at work TO smooth over
the incident, but there appeared
to be little likelihood of a bow
ing to Japan's demands TO release
the men taken into custody
Independent observers here de-
clared that Japan NAV use the
current incident to make declara-
lions of war against the British
in the Far East under the realiza-
ton that the English fleet is en-
gagged in operations in the Medi-
terranean Sea and around the
British Isles II has long been
thought that the Jsps were seek
ing an excuse to create a major
situation wherein she could valid
" move to enforce expulsion of
the British from Chinese and
Asia Minor territory.
British foreign office pointed
out today. however. that there
would be little excuse for Japan
to make a mountain out of q
mole hill'' in the present situa-
ton, especially since il has been
known that the JapS have been
engaged IN counter-espiOnace
operations in China and Japan
for the past two weeks. Many
Britons have been arrested in the
drive, it has been reported. Brit
ISL moves TO stop Jap-SpOnSOred
espionage work at home and at
other points of the empire were
taken. If was said. in retaliation
of the japanese arrests of English
subjects.
In the meantime. Japan show
cd everv indication of moving
into Indo-China. Rumors were
heard of Joint conferences on that
subject between Nipponese and
Nazi representatives in Tokyo.
