Boston Bruins Out
 For Clean Sweep In Stanley Cup Play

Detroit, April 12-(UP)-The Bos- ton Bruins were heavy favorites to win National Hockey's Stanley cup from Detroit tonight and become the first team to sweep the playoff in four straight games.
 Manager Jack Adams of the crip- pied Red Wings shifted his lineup in 8 last-minute attempt to match the power and form of the Bruins.
 Eddie Wares will be the only one of the three injured Detroit players to see service at the Olympia to- night. He will be back at his right wing post. Harold Jackson will be sent in as 8 defenseman, and Alex Motter will be moved to center.
 The Bruins strength and Goalie Brimsey's defense haveg iven them the first three games by scores of 3-2, 2-1, and 4-2. Ten thousand fans will hope the Red Wings spirit that sent them into the finals after @ mediocre season, will stop the Bruins and send the best four-of- seven series back to Boston to give them another chance at the cup do- mated by Lord Stanley 48 years ago.
 Slow Start
 Boston started the final slowly after 8 difficult seven-game pre- liminary playoff with Toronto, but gained momentum while the Wings, without the services of Eddie Good fellow, Joe Fisher and Wares, failed in chance after chance to score. Thursday night, Brimsek made 12 spectacular saves during @ deter mined first period drive by Betroit, while Johnny Mowers, rookie Red Wing goalie who missed the vezina trophy for less goals when Boston defeated Detroit in a last regular season game in March, made only one save.
 The Wings are playing their first Stanley cup final since 1887. The Bruins, who have reached the home stretch five times in 17 years, last won the trophy in 1899.
 If Detroit wins tonight, the next game will be played at Boston Tuesday. Subsequent games would be here Thursday and in Boston April 20.

Pond Signs As New Bates Coach

Lewiston, Me-, April 12-(UP)- A rrlmor that has been riding the sport winds for the past week was pinned down last night when 1t was announced officially that Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond, formerly for six yeras head coach of football at Yale, had been seleced to succeed Wendell Mansfield as head football and baseball coach at Bates college.
 Details of the contract were not revealed but President Clifton D. Gray of Bates announced htat Pond was expected here Wednesday to meet the 700 undergraduate and as- sume his new role. At Yale Pond was brilliant backfield star and captain of the undefeated 1923 baseball team. He assumed the Eli coaching berth in 1884 and contin- ued until last year when the Uni. versiy's de emphasis program prompted his resignation.
 His predecessor, Mansfield, left Bates to take the coaching berth at Springfield College, his alma mater.

New York, April 12. (UP)-Years ago they met along the dusty base paths of eight American League baseball parks, and now they will meet again on tee( fairway and green.
 Babe Ruth today accepted the challenge of Ty Cobb to play a 36- hole golf match for some war char ity yet to be selected. The match will bring together the two greatest hitters in the hisory of baseball and wo of the most flaming competitors in any sport.
 Tentative plans call for the first 18 holes to be played on @ course in or near Boston and the second IS at Detroit, according to Fred Cor coran, tournament manager of the PGA who has been active in ar- ranging the charity match. It will be match play and in event of a tie after 36 holes Ruth and Cobb may play 1t off on some New York course.
 Cobb Issued the challenge about two weeks ago and Corcoran an- nounced today that Ruth was will- ing.
 It probably won't be brilliant golf, but 1t will be interesting. Ruth and Cobb are both left-handed golfers and their games are about on a level. Each shoots between 75 and 80 although both have been known to get down into the low 70's on days when the puts were dropping
 Looks Like Four
 There probably will be just as many baseball fans in the galleries as there will be golf addicts, for both Ruth and Cobb still can gather crowd by merely viking down the street. Only two men will be play ingg of but for most baseball fans whose memories stretch back 15 years 1t will be 8 fourSome.
 They will see the Ruth and Cobt of today, two middle-aged men whc have lost the spring from their legs
 And, in memory, they will see the Ruth and Cobb of yesterday, slim- mer men who were twin nightmares to pitchers. They will think back tc the day in the world series wher Ruth pointed to the centerfielo fence and then lofted one of Charley Rot's pitches to the exact spot ol @ home run.
 They will think about the day when Cobb, with @ tempature of 10s and legs that were cut and raw from spike wounds and slide burns got out of a sickbed and played Q game against the Yankees in which ht

 New York, April 12-(UP)-Only four times in 21 long years has g future book favorite for the Ken- lucky Derby managed to justify the faith of the optimists who backed him, but unless Max Hirsch proves a much poorer prophet than he has been trainer the jinx will be brok. en again on the afternoon, of next May 3.
 The veteran conditioner who send Bold Venture out to win the horse- shoe of roses in 1936 is shooting for a double this season with new colA who was Q complete unknown only three months ago. The name of this one is Dispose, he carries the sillS1 of Congressman Richard KlebergE King Ranch and he is the best solS Discovery has sent up to the races
 Dispose was purchased by KelerG for $7,50O at the Saratoga sales of 1899 and he came out of Discovery'S first crop. At first he looked like 8 lemon; as juvenile he could win only two of five starts and those agains cheap opposition. When he shipped to Florida last November he was just one young horse among several hundred.
 Maybe 1t was the sunshine or maybe Dispose grew up to be Q fast CT horse, but in the only two races he has run during the winter he has installed himself as the horse to beat for the $75,000 Derby prize. He sarted in the Bahamas and he won by two lengths in new track record time for seven furlongs at Hialeah Park. Then he won the $20,0O0 Fla mingo Stakes and became the top horse of the winter season.
 In the latter race he was favored at little more than even money and he led all the way. He hit the stretch a half length in front of Curious Coin and although he weakened slightly near the end of the mile mad one-eighth route he still was a head in front when he hit the wire. He proved he had the speed in that race and proved he had the heart.
 Discovery himself couldn't win tho Derby. He finished two and half lengths back of Cavalcade in 1884. But this son of his may not have @ Cavalcade running against him and until one comes along he'll probbaly stay right on top of the future book. He will be given one prep race in the east and then he'll be sent out in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica.
 From New York he will go on to the Downs to shoot for the purse that his old man missed and then he'll continue through the Freak ness and the Belmont stake for 8 sho at the triple crown-carrying the banner of Texas as he goes.

got three hits and stole two bases.
 Time has been kind to both, and Cobb and Ruth have lnellowed un- der its influence. Cobb lives in Menlo Park, Cal, and spends most of his time hunting, fishing and playing golf. He saved the money he earned in baseball, made some wise in- vestments and never will have to work for living.
 Ruth, who was @ fast man with a dollar when his home run hitting first put him in the big money, took good care of his cash in the later years and now has annuities that place him beyond worry. A good part of his time is spent on the St. Alban's golf course in New York where he works tirelessly to correct hooks and slices he some- times gets off the tees. If he could sharpen up his short game a bit he would be able to compete with the top-fight pros.
 That 36-hole match ought to be 8 good show staged by the two best sehowmen who ever trod @ baseball diamond.
