Hot-Shooting Don Crosse
PAGES Wings to Second Win

TORONTO, April 8--(P)-A&
hungry-looking young man for
the south and the hotspot OF
hockey's hottest team - Don
Crosse -- today looked forward
with anticipation to what lie
hopes will be the happiest birth
day Of lis life in Detroit next
Sunday when the Red Wings can
win the Stanley Cup.
Crosse, rated by some experts
as the games finest playmaker,
led the Wings to a AZ victory
over Toronto Maple Leafs last
night 20 put them two games up
in hockeys world series. The
third game of the best-of-seven
round is billed for Detroit to-
morrow night with the fourth
also on Detroit ice Sunday -
Don's 9th birthday.
TOUGH AT HOME
Jubilant over their two straight
victories on Toronto ice. the UNI
derdog Wings feel confident that
the Leafs will never stop them
in Detroit where they have been
unbeaten in their last II starts.
During the c S n the Leafs
earned two victories and one
tie in four games in Detroit.
eve like that big Detroit ice
surface" said Gordie Drillon,
Toronto right winger, after the
game, "Snd there's no reason
why we can't upset their streak
and lick them both Thursday and
Sunday"
Crosse scored two of Detroit's
goals to bring his scoring In the
Stanley Cup playoffs to eight,
equalling the record set by Cecil
Dillon with New York Rangers
in 1888. i.ble to beat Turk Broda
only three times during the reg
ular national ague season,
Crosse has fired four puckS past
the pudgy Toronto goalie in the
two cup contests.
GREAT DEFENSE WORK
Swallowed only by the great
work of Crosse, Johnny Mowers
probably saved the game for the
Wings by his phenomenal goal
tending in the opening IL min
utes of play. Taking Advantage of
three early Detroit penalties the
Leafs Luzzed around Mowers
net necessarily but they failed
to find a flaw in his armor.
Carrying on just as they fin
ished in the series opener the
Wings bumped the Leafs at ev-
cry turn and bounded the puck
continually. They scored twice in
the first and added another pair
in the third, while the Leafs
counted once in both the second
and third periods.

FAvORITES COP SABBATH GAMES
 IN LOCAL LOOP
BrOOklynS Beat OverloOks Though Outhit; One Tilt
 40 Minutes Late

Humidity seems to agree with the Brooklyn A. c. and Tribunes, for yesterday at Hamilton Park they came out on top in contests with the Overlooks and Mill Plain, re- spectively, to remain the only un- defeated clubs in the second round of the City Amateur League. In other contests the Sacred Hearts toppled the Thomas Club and the Washington Hills kalsomined the Aviglianese.
 Tribes 10, Mill Plain
 Packy Shea's Tribunes made Il hits and 10 runs to easily beat Al Pronovost'S Mill Plain nine who nicked Al Flardenburgh and Lefty Verdereme for only six hits. The Tribes encountered trouble in plac- ing enough men on the field and after delaying the start of the game 40 minutes, finally came on the field with nine players. Razor Doran, Bobby Ray, Curley Pichette and Billy Moore were on hand, but this quartet played against the Black Yankees last Friday night and Manager Shea was reluctant to uSe them when league officials ruled that league players perform ing in the night exhibition would be barred from the circuit. No pro- test was entered by the Looks on the late starting.
 Hills ,, Avigllanese 0
 Vincent Junior Carroll was in rare form and the Washington Hills had no trouble with the AviglianeSe who could do no better than nick Winnie for four hits which were kept well scattered. Winnie also aided his own cause with two singles fin thTee trips.
 Frankie Place started on the mound for the Italians, but gave way in the fifth to Basile who' finished. The Hills pushed over three runs in the fourth and a like number in the fifth, adding their good measure tally in the seventh. Pop Doyle and Steve Borowy also hit safely twice for Jimmy Glad ney's combine.
 Brooks 5, Looks 4
 Johnny Grabeck of New Haven came in as a relief pitcher for the Brooklyn A. c. in the fifth inning and hurled scoreless ball the re- mainder of the contest against Bob Banziger's aggressive Overlooks who failed to nick the Elm Cityite for single safety.
 Joey Jay started on the mound for Eddie DiNapoli's crew, but was knocked out in the fifth when the Looks tallied their second and third runs. Going into the last of the eight the score was knotted at A. Third Baseman Zbinder led oil with c walk. An infield error and a fielder's choice advanced him two bases and he later scored the wir1- ming tally when Grabeck sent a long fly to Banziger in deep right. Bob Malone hurled great ball for the losers, allowing but five hits, but his mates failed to hit behind him when opportunities were pre- ented.
 Hearts 6, Tommles 3
 The Hearts and Tommies only vent seven innings in their con- test which saw the East Enders tallying five times in the fifth. Adams gave the Tommies but six hits while the Hearts nicked Harp Sullivan and Gerard for seven.

East Mountain Golf S)Putters

The Club Championship tourna- ment is rolling along nicely and may we again remind you fellows that all matches must be played on time or there will be a default called on both players. The two upsets recorded to date were the defeat of the two co-medalists, Jack Strew and Armand Durante. Jack went down to Jim Burke and Arr mand succumbed to the four over par shooting of Bill Egan. Both matches were l up.
 Al Zubras, finaIistin the recent District Tournament, seems to do all right with his team mate Vic ZemmOns. Their latest victims were Bill Egan and Armond Provost.
 The East Mountain Golf Associa- tion, at a meeting Friday night at the club house, decided on a scheme to send gifts to the fellows In the armed forces who were mem bers of the Association. Everyone who goes in the traps on the 18th hole must put 10c in one of the jars placed around the club house for that purpose. A very good ges- ture and 1t is entirely on the honor system, so fellows, don't forget!
 The Association also decided to hold a Navy Relief Day in the near future. Although refused the use of the course for day by the Park Board for htis worthy cause we can still run this tournament by taking care of greens fees and making the Board happy. Our in- come for the Navy Relief will be cut more than half but . half loaf Is better than no loaf at all.
 We would like to take this op- portunity to compliment the Wo- mems Association on the wonderful mixed scotch foursome that they ran Sunday and the very nice sup per that was served in the grove afterwards. How about more of -these get-togethers girls? It makes for stronger associations.
 Aside to the Park Dept: How about giving the girls . break and fixing the ladies tee on hole IS? It really could stand 2 fixing!
