The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-04-02

faced with Harry Boykoff of St. Johns, who measures six feet nine. They had @ man who could take care of Boykoff. He was Milo Ko- menich, who boasts six feet seven. Coach Shelton explained after the game that Komenich packs power with his height, but Boykoff has only altitude without power.
 Shelton said: Although Boy. koff probably is the most publicized basketball player of this season there is big fellow at the Universi- ty of Brigham Young named Ger aid Walker who is far superior Walker stands six foot seven, but he has everything the best player we've seen all season."
 Coach Shelton said it was a pleas ure to coach his champions as they won g of their 24 regular season games, losing only to Duquesne on their first trip east and on a small, cramping court. Too, because his meager squad won the N.C.A.A. play-offs at Kansas City, and came on to New York to beat Georgetown in the N.CA.A. final, before meet ing St. Johns last night - the national invitation winner - for the title. Their spirit gave him six men on the court in every game, he repeated.

REDWINGS ONE UP ON BRUINS FOR STANLEY CUP
DetrOiters Easy 6.2 Win. ners, Before Large
 Crowd of I2,S62

Detroit, April 2-CUP)-The De- troit Red Wings, National Hockey league champions, were one up on the Boston Bruins in their beSt-of- seven final series for possession of hockey's coveted Stanley cup today,
 A crowd of l2,562 watched the Wings tally in every period to domi- nate the Bruins, runnerS-up during the regular season, and win, 6-2, last night. Boston scored only once each in the first and third periods.
 StandOuts
 Mud Bruneteau and Std Abel took scoring honors. Bruneteau tallied three times to turn in the first hat trick chalked up by Detroit player in cup competition as Abel regis- tered one goal and four assists to notch another single game record for Detroit.
 Jack Stewards 46-footer gave the Wings an early lead in the first per- iod and the Bruins came back briefly at 1918 when Art Jackson netted a short shot. Then Bruneteau's short- angle shot at l:l2 of the next ses- sion put Detroit in front to stay.
 Art Jackson received major pen- alty when his stick gave Jimmy Or lando Q cut that required five stitches over his left eye.
 Orlando went out on Q two-min- ute roughing penalty in the second and the Bruins shot in extra for. wards but the strategy backared. Abel intercepted a pass, oOtspeeded two men and scored unassisted at l5:lS. Joe Carveth added Detroit's third goal of the period at l9:06.
 Bruneteau Iced the game in the third with goals at l:2l and l6:24, Abel assisting on both. Ab DeMar. co, Boston rookie, scored the Bruins second goal with little more than two minutes to go.
 The teams play the second game here Sunday, then move to Boston for the third and fourth games next Tuesday and Thursday.

Baseball Swing Most Complicated Movement; Ott Never Sew Two Botters Hit ExoetIy Alike; Ideo Is to Come Into BoII and Timinq Is Secret

can't recall having seen two batters hit the ball exactly alike.
 Ott, the left-handed hitter. is fa- nous for raising his right foot as he adjusts his sights. Rogers Hornsby stood as far back and away from the plate as possible, stepped into outside pitches. Tyrus Ray mond Cobb crowded offer the dish. Lou Booudreau of the Indians tieC himself into pretzel knots at the plate. You wonder how he ever gets base hit. but he manages to get the bat around and squarely into the path of the ball.
 Babe Ruth, Jimmy Foxx and Hank Greenberg were mammoth and mighty men who looked good striking out. but their tremendous swings would have been wasted ef- fort without precise timing. The latter is also the answer to the con- siStency of and the magnificent dis tance obtained by willowy Ted Will Hams.
 Timing is the secret of hitting in baseball. golf. boxing, football any sport where the thrill is in the old sockeroo.
