BOSTON, April 4.-From a hero

only a short drop and, once down,
only the bravest ever climb back,
as did the Boston Bruins Mel Sud
den Death Hill, who fought his way
out of q hockey graveyard to put
his team into the Stanley Cup finals
against the Detroit Red Wings.
Hailed on all sides two years ago
for his sensational game winning
scoring against the New York Rang
ers, Hill has been damned ever since
for what was considered his lack
adaisical play. His trouble. which
he discovered only recently, was his
failing sight, since corrected.
Hill CIfnches Victory.
Hockey League seasons. Hill has
been of little help to the Bruins and
he appeared well washed up with
them until last Tuesday night in
Toronto, when he filled in for the
injured Bill CoWley, the leagues
high scorer. and waged a great de-
fensive game against his check the
sterling Syl Apps. as his forces
gained the win they needed to tie up
its series with the Maple Leafs at
3-gdmeS all.
Last night the Bruins and Leafs,
the keenest of hockey rivals, clashed
in their rubber" contest and it was
the once scorned Hill who decided
the 81 game, late in the final Pc
riod, by blasting a 25-foot shot
through Turk Broda. the Leafs all
star goalie. after a terrific battle
for possession of the puck.
Fifth Final for Bruins.
Hills "clincher" put the Bruins
into their fifth Stanley Cup final in
II years. The last time he gave them
such service they wound up their
1933-39 season by defeating the
Leafs for hockey's most priced
trophy.
The Bruins and Red Wings will
open their best four out -of-seven
cup series here Sunday night.

The 23-year-old Pittsburgh boxer
takes on the veteran Gunnar Bar

1t will be Conn't first Chicago

prospect of getting the Louis Conn

that the match, in which Conn is

Despite the favorable odds on
Conn, observers are not overlook

offset the weight difference.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Two of the

To say both of these gladiators
