Conodiens Seem
 'Teom To Beat
BY UNITED PRESS

The Montreal Canadiens, appar- ently set to repeat their last years walkaway in the National Hockey League race, stretched their first place margin last night by beating the New York Rangers 4 to in a rough game at Madison Square Gar den.
 In the only other game the Chi cago Blackhawks continued their home ice jinx over the Detroit Red- wings, beating the Wings 2 to to move into fifth place tie with New York.
 The Rangers took an early lead in their contest against the champions by counting in the first minute of play. Montreal, however, knotted the score in the same period and went on to win with ease. A fight between Bob Dill of New York and Maurice Richard of Montreal delayed the game for 10 minutes in the second period. Montreal counted twice in that frame and again in the third to accumulate its margin.
 AL NIltCdSO, W1lCAC tAAC 1OCO w AASo have been unable to win for two years, the loss prevented them from passing tn eide Toronto Leafs in second place. Goalie Mike Kara kas played brilliantly for the win ners as the Hawks achieved their third victory of the season and their second over Detroit. The marginal tally was provided in the second period when Bill Mosienko caged the puck on an unassisted play which came out of a melee in front of the Detroit net. Earl Seibert scored the first Hawk counter in the opening period and it was matched early in the second by Syd Howe's unassisted shot.
 In Saturday night games the Can- adiens beat Boston's Bruins to 5 and Toronto and Detroit tied at 1 to 1.
