ANOTHER FOR SWEENEY

Shriner's second goal in the
dying minutes with Detroit down
the ice trying desperately TO tie
the score was just insurance
Sweeney bagged it after Lorne
Carr had caught sgd Howe alone
in the Detroit zone and checked
him off the puck to give Schriner
a clear path 10 the cage.
Even II we figure the Leafs
got breaks on those two big
goals, II was all hockey. They
made the breaks and cashed
them. and we would have been

steal as Stephens was striking
out.
In the third, the Tigers put two
runners on base with a lot of
help, but il was of no avail. With

Roller SkatinQ
Queen Retains
National Crown
MeIva Block Just Tops
Ann Msnion TO Give
Detroit Two Leaders
By MARGARET RUSSELL

PHILADELPHIA. April 20. -
Roller skating history has been
written which may never again
be repeated.
Not only did Melva Block of
the Detroit Figure Skating Club
of Arena Gardens successfully de-
lfend her title in senior women $
figure skating in the national
championships here, but proceed
ings during the last night were
halted for a practice blackout on
an alert signal over the eastern
Iseaboard
IL was the first time in the five
years of national competition that
a senior women's champion has
repeated and thereby Melva joins
Walter Stokosa, formerly of De-
troit and now of the army. who
was senior mems champion in
1889 and 1910.
COMES, FROM BEHIND
Never before has a champion
won the way 17-year-old Melvd
did. AT the conclusion OF school
figures Meiva was 26 points be-
hind the leader, Shirley Snyder of
Dayton. School figures count two
thirds and free skating one-third
in this event. 1t looked hopeless
then, even for Detroit's other en-
try, Ann Manion, who was %
points behind.
But things went better with the
girls in their free skating pro-
grams. Both stood the audiences
in crowded Convention Hall on
their ears. Both had fine content
to their programs. Too, each tried
an Axel jump and missed.
When the comptometerS finally
got the score the result showed
Melva the winner by 3 of point,
and Ann second.
Accordings TO the judges, Melva's
program had just bit more con-
tent than did AIMS.
MELVA SURPRISED
When told she had won MelvaI
believe il. She figured She
had skated well but not as well as
she did to win the title last year
in Cleveland
For the first time in national
competition, fours were held, andl
here again the title went to De-
troit. Billy Martin, Dorothy Law,
Alden Sibley and Louise Moore
were the winners.
Judges compared their perform
ance TO the famous Mimic tours
which won the Canadian and
North American championships on
ice. That tours is still considered
the best of all time.
SCHOOLBOY WINS
Kenneth Chase of Dayton. a
17-year-old high school lad, finally
overcame his jinx in nationals BY
the senior mems figure
title, succeeding Bobby Ryan. also
of Dayton. Ryan was second, with
third going TO Bruce Towle OF
Detroit.
Ray Lenty and Doris Gebreth
of New York City are the new
pairs champions. succeeding Miss
Manion and Stokosa of Detroit.
Ann and Bruce Towle were sec
ond, with third going TO Miss
Block and Bill Best of Detroit.

to administration opposition to legis-

legislation has been adopted.
Uncontrolled wages are the most
