This new Weatherly urge was
uncovered in an astounding catch
off Rudy York. It came in the
eighth inning on what looked like
sure extra-base knock for Rudy.
After a 60-foot dash, Weatherly
stabbed the ball. tumbled to the
ground and slid more than 10
fleet on his stomach, coming up
with the ball clutched in one hand
for the third out. He was given
la tremendous ovation by the
huge crowd of 39,267.
OFFICIALS HAPPY
The size of the crowd was a
pheasant surprise to club officials
at Briggs Stadium in view of war
time conditions. The customers
saw a good game, if disappointing
to Tiger fans. $4,000 odd attended

But while Boudreau, in his debut
as manager, and the other Indians

BY LEWIS III. WALTER

TORONTO April l0.-They've
taken the mourning of the build

Maple Leafs live again.
The Maple Leafs not only live
again but they've grabbed them
selves a big handful of one Of
those Stanley Cup handles and
they say they're not going TO let
90 until they tear II from the
grasp Of the Detroit Red Wings.
Jack Adams men thought they
had this cup clinched when they
fought their way 10 victories in
the first three games Of the world
hockey championship series. That's
when the black cloth was draped
on Toronto buildings and Maple

roaring back. They gained their

this series in Olympia tomorrow

own ice in the seventh and final
game Saturday night They're
counting themselves in on hockey's
greatest comeback
They believe they can run
through the shattered Detroit de-
Tense as they did last night wher
they scored seven goals before
Detroit got one in the final period
They're counting on SylvanuS
Apps, the great center. who scored
) points on two goals and three
assists last night, and on Dor
Metz, member of the same line
who wrapped the puck past hap
less Goalie Johnny Mowers of De
troit three times and picked w
another assist for points.
They believe Nick Metz. Dave
Schriner. Bob Goldman and Wally
Stanowski. the other Leaf scorers
can repeat.
WINGS MAY BE CHANGED
