BOSTON, April 9.-The Red
Wings are reshaping their battle
lines for their Stanley Cup battle
with the Boston Bruins at Detroit
tomorrow night.
Striving to strengthen the De-
troit defense as the Wings seek TO
overhaul the leading Bruins, Man
lager Jack Adams will take Big
Alex Motter out of his center ice
position and move him back to
team with Bob Whitelow on the
defense. Harold Jackson. rookie
defenseman, who played the first
two games against the Bruins. will
be benched.
Connie Brown, the little center
who has been playing a great game
as alternate, will take over Mot
ters post on the line with Carl
Liscombe and Eddie Bruneteau,
Adams said.
SEEKS BETTER DEFENSE
II Eddie Wares, injured right
wing, is able to play. he will take
over his old post from Bill Jen-
nings on the line with Don Crosse
and Sid Adams has definitely de-
cided to use Kenny Kilrea as his
fifteenth man, which means Jen-
nings will be out of action if
Wares returns.
THE move should bolster our
defense" Adams said. And IL
Wares and Kilrea are near form
our attack certainly won't
suffer"
Motter's move to the defense
will give Detroit a good puck
carrying defenseman. While play
ing on the defense at the start of
the campaign he bagged more
goals than he did later as forward.
I'VE sure were kissed by
angels"
That was the reaction of Mel
(Sudden DEATH Hill of the Bruins
to his teams victory over the Red
Wings last night.

Newark, which finished second
last season, but went on through
the playoffs to win the Governors
Cup and the little world series,
showed real championship caliber
in yesterdays deciding games. The
Bears whacked out % hits, includ-
ing six home runs, for a total of 54
bases. To top off the performance,
Frank Kelleher set a Newark record

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-Looking
around for dark horse in the
tennis championships at Forest
| Hills, the most likely candidate ap-
pears to be Wayne Sabin, now
playing out of Reno, New, but who
came up originally from Portland,
Greg.
Sabin did not compete in the
nationals last year. nor In any other
tournament for that matter, because
he was under suspension by the
U. S. l.. T. A. after coming out
second best in an argument over
expense accounts. But now he is
playing the best tennis of his life
Sabin easily has outshone all Of
the five players seeded above him
Bobby Riggs, Frank Kovacs, Don
McNeill. Ted Schroeder and Frank
Parker
Looks Keen Beating Hunt.
Every phase of his game obvi-
ously was at razor edge as he
slammed his way in straight sets
through Earl Cochell, the touted
Coast youngster, on opening day
and then overwhelmed doughty Gil
Hunt of Washington, D. c.. yes
terday, 6-3. 60, Ga. Hunt is
no soft touch.
This is not the first time Sabin
has given bright promise. He was
Davis Cup alternative five years
ago, and several times since has
looked a world-beater, especially on
clay. Each time he has fallen down
in the home stretch, but there was
something about his play the last
two days that had the hunch play
ers looking sharp.
Sabin almost is cinch to trim
Ladislav Hecht, the former Czech
Davis Cupper in his next match and
then he will fetch up against Me-
Neill, the defending champ, in the
quarterfnals. After that but
that's probably putting him far
enough along the time being.
Pauline Betz Pressed.
Going into the third day, the
championships were intact, except
for default by Virginia Wolfenden
Kovacs in the women's division be-
cause of illness. Pauline Betz, the
women's No. !, had a close scrape
yesterday. though, before she sub
dued l6-year-old Doris Hart of
Miami. ST, 60, 11-9. Doris ac-
tually led at SIS in the deciding set.
Today's feature match promised
to be the second rounder between

retriever from Atlanta. and Fran
cisco Segura of Ecuador, who can
knock back a few thousand balls
himself.
