Hockey Drama i'm Four Acts
Red Wing. Dressing Room Scenes Like Hollywood Set
BY EDGAR HAYES

A four-act play is presented in
the dressing room of the Red
Wings on the night of a playoff
game. The cast of characters has
the same principals in each act,
but the minor parts change.
Act one is before the game. The
cast aSscrr1bicS -SioEviy-and- doris
its uniforms. The speaking parts
are few. The director, as-worried
looking as Lloyd Bacon on the
Warner Brothers set, is Jack
Adams. He sits on a trunk and
watches the boys dress.
When all are ready for their ap-
pearance in the main tent he
speaks briefly and to the point.
Don't underestimate this ball
club. These Hawks have pulled
too many surprises In their day
TO be passed off lightly. Work In
there every second. You're good
enough to win. Forget that
Ranger series and go to work on
these fellows"
The boys file out leaving Adams
alone as the curtain falls on act
one.

Chicago Ragged
As Detroit e
Takes First
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Chicago's Blackhawks were de-
scribed as "hell-bent for the STAN
ley Cup when they invaded
Detroit to open the semifinal round
of the hockey playoffs with the
Red Wings. But judging by their
sorry showing in the 81 defeat
Detroit inflicted last night at
Olympia the Hawks are likely to
reach only their first-named OBJ
jective.
so this is the club that
whipped Canadiens. Well, We'll
take 'em in two straight" said
the champion forechecker, Don
Crosse, as the Wings congratu-
lated each other in the dressing
room after the game. ''WeHl
finish pegging these boys Sun
day night in ChicagO-then Wen
have almost a week to rest be-
fore the finals with Boston or
|. Toronto"
No one thought the Red Wings
center was boasting. 1t would be
hard for any one in the crowd of
1000 that watched the Detroiters
skate the Hawks into the ice for
two periods to conceive a Chicago
victory in this series.

HARD TO SCORE

Act two is between the first and
second periods of the game. The
same cast and scene as act one.
The boys had a goal, but they re-
allied the Blackhawks are hard TO
score against. There is little con-
versation as the players drift TO
their benches and rest. The di-
rector moves around with a word
to this actor and that. To some a
word of caution, TO some a quick

 In another recent bombing, the abutment of a large-span lattice girder railway bridge carrying three tracks was partly wrecked at one end and completely shattered by another bomb that exploded just be- hind 1t. The collapse Of part Of the abutment caused the bridge to drop about a foot at one corner. Arches in the brick viaduct approaching the abutsnent were so badly dam aged as to be unfit to carry the load. They were demolished, the rubble cleared away, and steel tres- ties erected under the dropped end of the bridge which was lacked up to its proper level. The three tracks were sectOred on rolled steel jOist way beams. Traffic over them pro- ceeded at reduced speed until per- manent repairs could be completed.
