AskOv Red Cross

The Askov Chapter of the Amer
lean Red Cross is again asking every
one who can possibly spare the time
to come to surgical dressing classes
The attendance, instead of increasing
has been getting smaller. At the last
class, out of go registrants, only nine
were present.
It has been decided to have the
classes on Wednesday evenings from
now on, in the hope that in that
way more people will find it con-
venient to attend. The hours are
from 7:3O to $50 o'clock. Surely two
hours a week is not a great deal OF
time. and it is the least that can be
given.
Those who have earned wells and
crosses will get them as soon as pos
sible They have been ordered fol
some time and should be here soon
This work is highly important and
in the days to come will pay big div
idends in the saving of lives on the
battlefelds and in the hospitals be-
hind the lines. Plan to attend the
next meeting, Wednesday evening
June 2, and each Wednesday there
after.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb and

in all respects except ability.
Ty Cobb was fiery. Honus
Wagner phlegmatic. Cobb was

Mudbruneieau
Drills Home
Three Goals
Tired Boston
Team Proves
Eosy for Detroit
BY PAUL CHANDLER


DETROIT. April 2 - (P) -
Okay, so those Detroit Red
Wings are risky and fast, but
IN at doesn't entirely explain
what happened to the highly
respected Boston Bruins in
Olympia Stadium last night.
Jack Adams Red Wings not
only defeated Boston in the
opening game Of the final series
for the battered old Stanley Cup.
They cuffed that feeble old
Bruin all around the rink, ran
through him for six goals, and
generally made rout of what
1852 gleeful fans had expected
to be hard, close game. Now
they are talking of a Wing vic
tory in four straight games in
the bestof-seven series.
DetrOit's margin at the end
was 6-2. and those six goals
constitute the most the Wings
have drilled past GOalie Frank
Brimsek i'm IL meetings this
season. Boston scored in the
first period when il was early,
and in the third, when it was
too late.
Boston was the tired team last
night, something the records
don't explain. he Bruins had a
relatively easy time disposing
of Montreal in five games in
the semi finals, while Detroit
had to 90 to six games, two Of
them overtlmes. to turn back
Toronto.
Two Detroit goals came on
clean break aways, accomplish
cd by the simple expedient of
skating around the enemy. Capt.
Sid Abel employed this method
for the sparkling single play of
the night.
The puck was skiddihg toward
center ice when Abel and Har-
vey (Busher) Jackson started
chase. jackson was * feet
ahead at the start, but Abel
caught him, stole the puck, and
soloed in. Brlmsek didn't have a
chance.
Abel also was credited with
four assists for total Of five
points, -butthe real scoring lau-
rels went to Modere (Mud)
Bruneteau.
Mr.. Mud socked home three
goals, the old hat trick, and be-
came the first Red Wing in his
tory to achieve this distinction
in a Stanley Cup game.
-An-old- dgge-H4ay- had
something to do with the de-
ciSlveneSs of the verdict. Boston
Inundated Detroit two years ago
in the Cup finals by sweeping
four straight games, a whipping
none of the old-timers has for
gotten.
Art Jackson spanked the Bru-
ms attack and counted their
first goal. For this he drew the
praise of Manager Art Ross.
Ross was sullen when it end

The second game will be play

Like Rogers Hornsby, the only
right hand hitter who approach
ed him, Wagner stood as far
back and away from the plate
as he possibly could and re-
main in the batter's box. He
gripped the bat like Cobb, hands
inches apart, and ready to be
shifted with the pitch.
Just pitch the ball and pray, y
John McGraW once told a young
pitcher who wanted to know
how to pitch TO Wagner.
With Wagner at bat, and run
ners in position to score, it was
practically impossible fol" pit
cher TO waste one. Old Honus
did very well for a so-called bad
ball hitter.
While he wasn't sprinter,
Wagner got there with his aWk-
ward stride, and his 100 pounds
coming into base was some
thing with which to be reckon
ed He made base-running APP
pear as simple as he did batting
and shortstopping Only Cobb,
Max Carey and Eddie Collins
surpassed his 100 stolen bases.
But, unlike Cobb and other
hyper aggressive base-runners,
Wagner refused to resort to
bone-breaking and carving to get
there first. Lightly-built Char

Joe CrOInin
Ia Stay
OH Bench
BY JUDSON BAILEY

MEDFORD. Mass. April 2 -
(P)- This may be an old-timer's
year in baseball, but it isn't go
ing TO entice old Joseph Edward
Cronin out Of his rocking chair.
Some of the fans hereabouts
have been wondering whether
the 36-year-old manager of the
Boston Red SoX would under
take to return TO a regular role
sthe result of Shortstop John
ny Pesky's entry into the Navy.
The question never quite
reached the proportions in
Boston that Leo DurOcher's
plans for playing stirred up
i'm Brooklyn, but the answer
is the same. Like DurOcher,
CrOnin may play a little, but
not any more than he has to.
I'll do just about like l did
last year Cronin said today.
III help out here and there
and do some pinchhitting. How
ever, our infield looks pretty
good with Eddie Lake at short
and we've got Skeeter Newsome
in reserve, SO we ought TO get
along all right" n
If Cronin does as he did last
year he will appear in about As
games, mostly as pinch hitter
and never for nine innings at a
time. Up till last season he had
failed only once in ID years to
play in l25 or more games, but
even before he went TO train
ing camp in 1912 he had tagged
p k y for the shortstopping
chores and he made no effort to
keep in playing shape.
