When the average flve.nlan bowl. ing teams around these parts hits 655, a victory should be chalked up, for the game. but that was not good enough by 24 pins for the Water. bury Manufacturing to win from American Brass, which reached 67o last night, but dropped one of its three games when Q 60O second game by the Manufacturer was good enough for win against e weak 560 by the Brassies, who are now two games of the league pace, inasmuch as the Chase Metal coin- bine shut out Oakville Pin three straight games, with 620 as their best effort.
 Montanari of Naugy Chemical copped high single honors with a l73 while Palmer Bricks 4i9 in. cluding strings of l54, 124 and i3i, was the best individual effort of the evening which went into the Ainer- ican Brass total. However, Lefty Atwood of Seth Thomas Clock was right there, too, the huge baseball pitcher who l1as become quite e pin toppler, scoring singles of Ill, li3 and 134, just two pins off Mon. tanari's high single and only one pin off Bricks excellent 4i9 set.

HARKINS READY
 FOR ROBINSON
Hard-hitting elter. weights Top Waterbury
 A. C. Show Tomorrow

From all indications, Wicky Har- kins, the Philadelphia Irish-A Amer lean welterweigl,t who Is paired with Ernie "Cat" Robinson of Jamaica, Long Island, Thursday night at Buckingham hall to headline the Waterbury A. 0. card, will be in fine shape for his task of tomorrow evening as he has a hard eight round fight under his belt from no later than last Monday night at Lancaster, Pa, where Harkins punched out a decision over Bill Morris of Baltimore, Harkins heavy punching offsetting good boxing by Morris.
 Robinson, ir the meantime, has beaten Vic T'roise in New York last week, and has remained in training for Harkins, knowing that he is in for tough battle, which he thinks he can win and will try to make 1t decisive by the knockout route. That is, if he does not get knocked out himself, for Harkins IS no cream puff" puncher, from all &C., counts, and, more importantly Is making his first showing which he intends to make 0 good one.
 Take All Wagers.
 Charley Bennett, manager of Harkins, who will be in town to. morrow for the ? o'clock weigh-in, sends word that he will be quite happy to take few wagers from Robinson rooters who think the Ja. inaica Negro can beat or stop the Philadelphian.
 Neil Miller of Wilkes Barre Pa, and Mike Angieri of 1nwood, Long Island, meet in a six rounder that ought to provide something of keen interest; while Freddie Lewis, for mer .. 6. amateur lightweight champ, is paired with Eddie Suggs, the New Bedford lad who made @ good impression two weeks ago in defeating Red Doty of Hartford.
 Maxie Katz and Johnny Leon- ard are also paired in e sixer with Emil Etters in & four round open ing bout against Tony Falco of Mid- dletown. which will be comeback No. 1884, series B. for the efferves- cent Emil, who has trained hard for the bout.

Blackhawk Goal Tender Makes 80 Stops But Loses, 3-2
Boston Gains Valuable Two Point L Lead-Cowley
 Sets New Assist Mark

Boston, March 5-(UP)-The Bos- ton Bruins, beaten only once in their last 27 starts, were sole occupants of first place in the National Hockey league today after edging Chicago despite 0 record-smashing perform ance by rookie goalie Sam Lo Presti.
 The 24 year old To Presti, 8 aa- tive of Eveleth Minn,, turned in the finest net tending display in Boston ice history last night only to have the Bruins score the decisive goal for 0 3--2 triumph with less than three minutes to play.
 The victory boosted Boston two points ahead of the idle Toronto Maple Leafs, giving the Bruins an advantage in the tight stretch drive. Toronto, however. has q game in hand, but only will play two of Its six remaining contests on home ice.
 Center Bill Cowloy set new rec ord of 38 assists in a season by help ing on two of the Boston tallies. He broke the former mark of 37 assists made by Joe Primeau of Toronto in 1881 -32.
 Great Work
 But 1t was the incredible eXhibi- ton of To Presti that drew most of the cheers of the partisan crowd of l,000.' Diving, kicking, Hopping, catching, he moved with remarkable agility for a 200-pounder burdened by heavy pads from one corner of the cage to the other to smother 30 Boston thrusts.
 Though there Is no official record for stops. Manager Art Ross of the Bruins said the previous Boston high was 76 saves blocked by Bill Beveridge of Ottowa in 1883.
 Boston probably had the, puck in- side the Chicago defense for 45 of the 60 minutes. pouring rubber on To Presti in a steady stream.
 The break that probably robbed To Presti of a deserved tic came at 17:29 of the third period when little Eddie Wiseman scored on Cowley's rebound with the Chicago goalie on his knees.
 The Hawks had taken a 10 first period lead on Mush March's goal, but Boston jumped ahead on mid session tallies by Roy Conacher and Milt Schmidt. Max Bentley tied the score at 800 of the third period.

 Slick Infield With Joe Gordon At First
Sturm Doesn't Have Required Power At Bat
 To Be Regular
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

St. Petersburg, Fla, March B. Babe Dalgren's sale to the Boston Bees suddenly gives John Peter Sturm a position of importance in the Yankees camp.
 Johnny Sturm is at the moment the only out-and-out candidate for the first passing job.
 But those closest to the situation doubt that Sturm, 25 year-old son of a German emigrant, will be at Lou Gehrig's old station when the first shot is fired, or for any length of time thereafter.
 Sturm has the physical advantage a left-hander enjoys at the post and

GORDON TYPE THAT CAN PLAY ANYWHERE

The reason those who know Joe Mccarthy best believe he has Joe Gordon in the back of his head as a first baseman is that the Eugene boy, is the acrobatic type that can play anywhere.
 Gordon has all the requirements of afirst baseman except the field ing edge that goes to a left handler there, and being a right-hander didn't handicap Dahlgren or go back beyond the late Frank Chance. in listing right-handed throwing first basemen who did all right.
 No one has the slightest doubt about Joe Gordon's ability to play first base. Daily Phil Rizzuto and Gerry Priddy give Joe Mccarthy more assurance that they'll main- tain their Kansas City pase around second. Red Rolfe is expected to demonstrate that physical disability was all that retarded him in l940.
 If things work out this way, the Yankee infield of i94i will make professional sleight-o'- -hand per- formers look like novice pickpockets with thimbles on their fingers.
