REDWINCS RESUME STANLEY CUP DRIVE
Boston Bruins, Slowed By Injuries, Have Tough
 Task Ahead

Boston, April 7-(UP)-Competi- tion for the Stanley cup-hockey equivalent to the world series-re- sumes tonight when the favored Detroit Redwings clash with the Boston Bruins in the third contest of their best-of-seven series.
 The Wings won the first two games and will be out to duplicate a Boston feat of two years ago when the Bruins knocked of De- troit team in four straight to win the coveted trophy.
 Detroit is at full strength and will be aided further by the addition of two rookie forwards from Indian apolis of the American league-Joe Fischer and Connie Brown.
 Injuries have hurt the Bruins. Goalie Frankie Brimsek is nursing an injured chest, Yank Boyd dam- aged knee and Murph Chamberlain, a bad shoulder.
 Forward Sid Abel is almost cer- tain to bring the Wings individual glory if not the cup. Abel needs only one point to ie the playoff record total of IA chalked up by Bill Cowley of Boston two years ago.

 New York, April 6 (UP) - Every once in a while Racing's an nual crop of two-year-olds. like vin- tage champagne, seems to sparkle with an extra brightness and holds an added class and distinction. Such a year was 1930 when crack young sters like Equipoise, Twenty Grand. Mate and Jamestown, frolicked over the country's tracks in the initial stages of their brilliant careers.
 By the fall of the year Equipoise clearly was established as the two- year-old leader. but the others were not far behind When the field pa- raded for the $6OO00 Pimlico Fu- turity on cold, gray day in Novem- Der, a victory for Twenty Grand or Mate would have scrambled the juvenile setup. Jamestown was not present. having been retired for the season.
 Although beaten a thin nose by Twenty Grand in his previous start, the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, Ekky, the beloved Chocolate Sol- dier'' of later years, was so popular with the Maryland crowd that he was backed down to slightly less than even money in the mutuels. In all. eight horses splasiaed through Pimlico'S deep mud en route to the past with Twenty Grand, second in the betting and Mate the third choice.
 Lining up for the start nf the mile and one-Sixteenth race. Ekky seemed nervous and Sonny Work man on his back tried to calm him. The field was in the gate-all ready when suddenly Ekky turned his head to look at the crowd and the bell rang, sending them on their way.
 The Whitney star was caught flat footed. Seven horses. in full stride, dug for the first turn. The crowd, stunned and silent. watched unbe- Iievingly as Workman turned Edui- pOise around and drove him after the field, some 30 yards in front of him.
 The light-footed Mate was skim ming along the rail, a length and a half in front as the field swung past the quarter. with Gigantic second the Backgammon third. Twenty Grand was laying sixth and Ekky. three lengths back of the seventh horse. was finding his stride as Sonny settled him down.
 Down the long backstretch Mate still led. A horse named AegiS had filtered through the pack and was challenging in second place. Twen- ty Grand was beginning to move along the raii and Elrky continued to gallOp in last place. It seemed impossible that he could win from so far back.
 At the far turn the positions were unchanged. IL looked like Mate or Twenty Grand was certain to get the pot. Suddenly, the horsewise Maryland fans saw the Whitney blue and brown drifting past horses as Warkman called on the running son of Pennant and asked him to go all out.
 Bending for home Mate was still there by two lengths. But the roar
