Like a Million
By LEWIS II. WALTER

For 120 minutes or 7.200 Sec
onds (you take il from there) the
highest scoring hockey team in
the history of the Detroit Red
Wings has been held scoreless in
the Stanley Cup playoffs by the
Toronto Maple Leafs.
1t Is the first time In their 10
years that the Wings have been
shut out in successive Cup games.
The record books will give that
credit to goalie Frank McCool, a
lean nervous rookie with stomach
ulcers. brought on. according 10
unkind critics, from diet OF
horseshoes, ==
-McCool does not deserve the
credit for the 20 victory with
which the Leafs plodded home
before 1888 fans at Olympia last
night. He made some fine saves
in turning back 20 pucks as
against IL for Detroits Harry
Lumley and he did IL despite an
attack of dizziness which forced
him from the ice for five-minute

MISS EARLY CHANCES

The Wings had their best
chances in the first period. when
they forced McCool TO make II
saves. Carl Liscombe. Mud Brune-
teau, Flash Hollett and Seibert in
turn came close TO scoring while
Gus Bodnar, Toronto center. was
serving the only penalty of the
game.
Although very apparently not at
their best the Wings still carried
the play. They beat against the
Leaf defense. pitched the puck in
and scrambled to no avail with
Pratt. Hamilton and the rest
clearing to safety.
Now the Red Wings must take
up the task in Toronto, in the
games there next Thursday and
Saturday.
