Tourney Hopes
Fall Saturday
EostIond Detected
47-32, Despite II
Points by Mecosksy

Macomb County's last hopes
for a place in the state high
school basketball finals crashed
Saturday night as Eastland OF
Roseville, the final survivor
among a score of county teams
that started play 10 days before,
went down TO defeat.
The Roseland crew lost to St.
Benedicts of Highland Park,
47-32, in the finals of the region
al meet at Pontiac.
The loss came despite the
fiery shooting of Bud McCaskey,
6 foot senior forward, who pour
ed in a total of % points, all on
field goals. McCaskey wracked
Up his total on fast break and
on short shots around the basket.
ONLY THREE SCORE
Only two other players man
aged TO get in the scoring col
umn for the Macomb team, d
Glass c entry. Walt Lowell
knocked in eight points while
Dalyrimple dropped in one field
goal.
Eastland stepped off to an
early lead but midway of the
first quarter gave 1t up to the
victors and never regained 1t.
Time after time, the Roseville
boys saw their shots loop in and
out of the basket as they fell be-
hind to a 1910 score at the half
time.
McCaskey took scoring honors
while Eddie Kamm, st. Bene-
dict forward, paced his team
with 16 points; both quintets US
cd a man-to-man defense. The
clever-passing parochial team
was to receive its state pairing
today.
For Roseville, the trip to the
regional finals was the second
time in the past five years and
the second time in the history of
the school. In 1887, as a Class
D contender, the team lost out
in the finals to Dryden.

NEW YORK, March 16-(R
Don't look now, but those
boys cutting such fancy capers in
baseball's Grapefruit League
are your old friends, the Wash
ington Senators:
Although they aren't on top of
the standings, the American
Leaguers who campaigned SO
vigorously for more night games
are bouncing along at an 1857
clip with six victories in seven
starts-all against Major League
opposition and in broad day
light.
First place in the Grapefruit
standings at the start of the third
week belongs to the Chicago
Cubs, who have only two games
behind them but won them both
with top-heavy scores and auth
GRITTY at the plate.
CARDS IN THIRD
The st. Louis Cardinals, who
dropped three of their first four
games, have won their last six in
a row and hold third place
among the Is teams of both lea
CUES.
The only others who have won
more than they have lost are the
New York Yankees and Brook
lyn Dodgers, last years World
Series opponents, tied with five
wins in nine starts, and the Phil
adelphia Athletics, with six vic
tories and five defeats.
The Cubs, who have yet to
test their own National League
foes, crushed the Athletics, 11-3,
yesterday after swapping the
Chicago White Sox, 1873, with a
16-hit barrage in their opener.

Hockey Crown

The New York Rangers, for
the second time in three years,
are the champions of the Ma
tional Hockey League-thanks
to a bit of help from the last
place Brooklyn Americans.
Brooklyn, still fighting for a
playon berth, spilled the persist
ent Toronto Maple Leafs last
night, 6 to 8, and no matter
what happens the remainder of
the way, the Rangers replace the
Boston Bruins as the League
boss.
The Rangers, however, made
their coronation respectable by
defeating Chicago, 5 to 1, in
their seasons finale and have
until the week end to rest.
League officials originally
scheduled the Stanley Cup play
offs to begin in Madison Square
Garden on Sunday night IL the
Rangers won the title but il is
possible that the first game will
be played at Toronto Saturday
night and the second in New
York on Sunday
