NATIONAL LEAGUE -(Ry limited preSS(


 Montreal led the National Hockey league race again today, thanks largely to three-goal last-period rally by which Detroit tied Chicago, 4 to 4, while the Canadians defeat ed Boston, 4 to 1, in games last night.
 Toronto showed New York deeper into the league cellar by trimming the Rangers. to 3, on a late goal by Babe Pratt.
 Montreal leads by one point-26 to 25-over Chicago, with Boston two games behind Chicago. The Canadiens took advantage of sluggish Boston defense to run up four-goal lead before Boston scored. Boston Goalie Frank Brim- sek got little help from his mates. Two quick goals-by Murph Cham berlain and Maurice Richard early in the second period settled the issue
 Comeback
 Doug Bentley scored three goals for Chicago as the Blackhawks sped into an early lead, but the more rugged Red Wings came back in the last 16 minutes. Detroit's third goal was a long shot by Bill Quacken- bush that bounced into the net of Adam Browns leg, and the tying goal by Ted Lindsay was a high shot that rolled over Goalie Mike Kara kas' shoulder.
 New York tied the score three times before Pratt licked home the winning goal, but fine play by Goalie Frank McCool turned back final New York surge.
 American League
 Four of the American Hockey $ Leagues eight teams were punched at the top today, with Indianapolis and Pittsburgh-who played to tie last night-deadlocked for the lead Hershey one point behind, and Buffalo two points behind Hershey Jim Conacher,s goal with less than two minutes to play gave h. dianapolis the to 3 tie with Pitts burgh after the Hornets had led most of the game.
 Hershey were held to a to 3 tie by New Haven, which jumped into a 2 to 0 lead and forced Hershey to the utmost to eke out the tie.
 Quick Scores
 Three goals within 90 seconds of the second period sent Buffalo of to an easy ' to 3 victory over St. Louis. Buffalo scoring was divided. Cleveland defeated Providence, 4 to g. The game was late in start ing because of Cleveland's trans portation troubles.

TECH TIGERS IMPRESSIVE IN 28-27 LOSS
By YIN MALONEY Staff Writer

Seldom is a team impressive in defeat but such was the case of Bill Tr2cy's Tech Tigers who went down to defeat at the hands of Conni2-Donahue's Torrington Red Raiders by the slim margin of 28 to 27, at the Wilby Gym Saturday night. In the "hign-nying Nauga- tuck Valley League contest which was delayed some 45 minutes by the failure of Phil Casman, the referee to put in an appearance because of car trouble, Al Monti turned in a good job of handlinga rough and tumble ball game.
 Visitors Eight Up
 Approximately 450 hoop fans saw Leavenworth set the pace during the first period to lead going into the second quarter II to 10, at which time Tech relinquished it's lead to be beaten 28 to 27 in the final frame. The Donahuemen forged out an point lead in the second period with Pete Mazaik and Frankie Russo passing the scoring attack. Ray sweykoski and Steve F'edorwicz broke up several Tech rallies under the basket to give the visitors 20 to 12 lead at the end of the first half. In the third period Torrington again seemed to have it all over the Tigers as they maintained their eight point leao and pushed it to to lead 24 to 15 at the end of the third period. In the final period the Tracymen ral- lied under the lead of Jim Piersall and Joe Cocchiola to cut the visit ors lead to points or 28 to 25 with minute and one half re- naining in the game.
 The crowd then went wild as Cocchiola on a pass from Pier all tossed in a marker which cut the v,eitors lead to one point, 28 to 27. With B second to play Pie-sall was foulded and had one free throw but in the excitement of the game missed the chance to tie up the game 23 all Then time ran out and the viitors won by one point. The best defensive and offensive play for the local array was that of Wh,tye Korbu ieski, Joe Coc- chiola, Piersall and Santagotta plus the brilliant defensive play of Sher- II.
 The final score was Torrington 28; Leavenworth 27. The Leaven- worth second team edged the Tor rington reserves IS to 16.
