put them two games up in hockey's
world series. The third game Of
the best-of seven round is billed for
Detroit tomorrow night, with the
fourth also on Detroit ice Sunday
Don's 9th birthday.
Jubilant over their two straight
victories on Toronto ice, the under
dog Wings feel confident that the
Leafs will never stop them in De-
troit, where they have been un-
beaten in their last II starts. Dur
ing the season the Leafs earned
two victories and one tie in four
games In Detroit.

right winger, after the game. land

Thursday and Sunday"
Crosse scored two of Detroit's
goals to bring his scoring in the
Stanley Cup playoffs to eight, equal
ing the record set by Cecil Dillon
with the New York Rangers in 1888.
Able to beat Turk Broda only three
times during the regular National
League season, Crosse has fired four
pucks past the pudgy Toronto goalie
in the two cup contests.
Shadowed only by the great work
of Crosse, Johnny Mowers probably
saved the game for the Wings by
his phenomenal goal-tending in the
opening II minutes of play. Taking
advantage of three early Detroit
penalties, the Leafs buzzed around
Mowers net necessarily. but they
failed to find a flaw in his armor.
Play Rugged, Forcing Game.
Carrying on just as they finished
in the series opener, the Wings
bumped the Leafs at every turn and
bounded the puck continually. They
scored twice in the first and added
another pair in the third, while the

His Best Chance for

NEW YORK, April s.-Little
Johnny Longden wouldn't be at all
surprised If the understatement Of
the year turns out to be the name
of T. D. Grimes Kentucky Derby
hope, With Regards.
The little Englishman means that
after May down there at Churchill
Downs lot of people are going to
be convinced the colts tag at least
should have been With Best Re-
CARDS.
This is because the whiz from
Wakefield feels that the high-stand-
ing son of Jack High, which already
has the Arkansas Derby to his credit
this year in the string Of six straight
successes he began last July, has a
somewhat better than bad chance
of ringing the cash register on that
$4,000 jackpot.
And Johnny should know, because
he piloted the rapid-running bargain
baby-Grimes picked up With Re-
CARDS for less than $1000-in eight
of his nine trips to the post.
Holds Oaklawn Record.
Johnny is such a tiny guy that
when he ducks his head he's vir-
tually invisible. He came to New
York from the Oaklawn Derby to
take in the racing which starts
tomorrow. With Regards, meanwhile,
is at Louisville for brief vacation.
While he's here Johnny will be
thinking of the Blue Grass State a
lot because he feels With Regards
gives him the best chance he's ever
had to win the Derby.
And he might, too," Johnny in
sists. Hes a tall fellow, and when
you're on him you hardly know he's
running. He's that smooth. But he
can 60 real nice"
This hardly is telling the whole
story, for With Regards smashed
the Oaklawn track record to bits
when he won the Derby there in
l:50 for a mile and an eighth. It's
Just like Grimes, who trains as well
as owns the horse, says-"That'
really travelling in any league"
The colt reminds Johnny lot of
Shark, picture galloper who cam
paigned here about a half dozen
years ago. Shark was one Of the
fastest things seen in these parts
In years.
Bred Strictly for Speed.
Most unusual thing about Grimes
standard bearer is that he is bred
strictly for speed. both on the side
of his sire, Jack High, and his dam,
Loosefoot, which was by Terry, a
sprinter of some years back. Jack
High still holds Belmont Park S
track record for a mile-1:35. Yet
With Regards showed no signs of
stopping for gas in the Oaklawn
Derby's mile and an eighth, and
Grimes doesn't see why the extra
eighth of the Kentucky classic
should change things.
If he can do it at the Downs
when the blue chips are up, it will be
a real nice thing for little Johnny
Longden's been riding for some time
now. In 1888 he was the top jockey
in the business. But the best he's
ever done in the Derby was when
Melodist tired and finished fourth
In '37 At 80, Johnny can't have
many more Derbies left to ride, so If
he can do it this time-why one
and all should be glad to say, with
best regards.
