STANLEY CUP ITO MONTREAL 
nr LOHN CHARTIER

Montreal, April 1O-(UP)-The battered old Stanley Cup which cost $50 when 1t was new back in 1894, reposed once again today on the trophy shelf of the Montreal Cam adiens as proof of their prowess in the National League Hockey play offs.
 The Canadiens, dominating the league as few teams ever did before, won the championship playoff game from the Boston Bruins, 6 to 3 last night, giving them record of eight wins in the nine post season Stan- ley Cup games it took to settle the issue.
 That victory was the forth in five games over the Bruins after rec ord of four straight wins over the Chicago Blackhawks in the semi finals competition.
 StandOut
 This year, unlike most, the Stan ley Cup winner also was triumphant in regular season competition. The Canadiens won the Prince of Wales trophy by finishing in front during the regualr 50-game race and fol- lowed through by winning the cup playoffs.
 Last year the Canadiens won the regular season race, but lost out in the semi-final round of the playoffs and the Toronto Maple Leafs went on to win the Stanley Cup.
 The victory in the finale over the Bruins was a well co-ordinated one. Six different Montreal players, Captain Hector (Toe) Blake, Mur- phy Chamberlain Dutch Hitler, Bobby Filion, Elmer Lach, and Ken Mosdell scored goals.
 Blake, who played with an in- jured back, scored the most impor- tant goal with only nine minutes to go in the final period. Taking a rebound from Lach he raced in and broke a 3-all deadlock with a shot that also broke Boston's spirit.
 Tn quick order after that, Cham berlain plopped in an unaSsisted goal and Hitler finished up big lea gue scoring for the 1945-46 campaign with the final goal on pass from Lach at close range.
 Rough Play
 Close checking with emphasis on the rough side featured the first period. Despite the attention to de- fense tactics. five goals were scored.
 Boston tallied first on a shot by Bill Cowley while Butch Bouchard was out for interference. Filion evened 1t up for the Canadiens on Q fast rush in which Chamberlain as- sisted. Bobby Bauer sent Boston ahead again, ? to l, but that was all for the Bruins in that period. Lach and Mosdell got their goals before the session was ended.
 The Bruins deadloc.ied the score at 3-all in the second period, scoring the only goal on a shot by Milt Schmidt. Schmidt took the puck from Q face-off near the Montraeal nets and took only two strides before getting it past goalie Bill Durnan on hard angle shot.

OIUen and Stephens Sued for $2OO,OOO

Mexico, City April l0-(UP)- President Jorge Pasquel of the MeXi- can League longed today for the late Baseball Commissioner, Judge K. M. Landis, who he said would have up- held his rights in dealing with Am- erican players.
 Pasquel, who says he has instruc- ted his lawyers in New York to file $l00,000 breach of contract suits against catcher Mickey Owen and shortstop Vernon Stephens. figured such drastic action wouldn't be nec- essary if Landis were ruling base ball.
 Pasquel criticized Commissioner Albert B. (Happy) Chandler for failing to crack down on Stephens and Owen, who recently gave up on the Mexison League.

 Boston April 10-New England faced the dubious distinction to- day of playing host to the 5Sth annual National AAU Boxing Championships without having a single fighter remaining in the fi- nals of the three day tournament.
 Dominating this amateur battle royal that comes to a close at Bos- ton Garden tonight was a colorful Hawaiian delegation which already has seized the flyweight crown and seemed destined to garner the team prize.
 The feat of the Hawaiians was remarkable in that it was the first time in history that any one asso- citation had sewed up class by placing four men in the semi-finals. It also was the first time in mem ory of amateur boxing followers that New England had failed to produce a fighter worthy of reach ing the finals.
 Sub Heavy
 Last forlorn hope of the region was heavyweight David Beattie of Maiden, chosen as an alternate for Ken Jason of CohaSset who won the regional title earlier in the Winter but was unable to compete.
 Beattie, himself, would have ad- mitted he had scant hope of suc- cess in the star-studded heavy weight field. Despite a game stand he fell by the wayslde in a quarter final match when the referee awarded the bout to Willie Clem- mons of Oakland, Cal. Beattie was down twice for counts of nine in the first round and in the second took a nine-count again and then was spilled to the canvas when the bout was halted.
 Light heavyweight Eugene Mo ntyre of Roxbury had even less success. He drew byeS in the trials and fought first in the quarter finals against Ben Shelton of Pitts burgh. Nc Intyre lasted scarcely more than a minute after being spilled twice with right-hand smaSheS to the jaw.
 Perhaps the best bet for New England was Tony Araujo of Prov idence, R. T., who failed to keep a scheduled appointment and com pete in the 135-pound division.
 Tn situation reminiscent of the Hawaiian teams last appearance here in 194O, the Pearl Harbor punchers were to fight it out among themselves for the 112-pound crown. This time they had four men going into the semi-finals. In 104O John Manalo and Dado Marine fought 1t out in the finals with Manalo winning the title.
 That same year saw the Hawai- ians capture the team award and they seemed certain of repeating this time since they have six fight CTS still competing in the ll2, ll8. and l47-pound classes.
 Kaye Kid
 A standout during the three days of fighting was hulking Raymond Stevens of Philadelphia. a heavy weight who has fought thrice and won thrice by one round knockouts. Already he wsS being picked to succeed Charlie Lester of Cleveland. the only defending champion tn the tourney.

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer

New York, April 10--Now that 1t is no longer necessary to whistle past a Mexican graveyard, Senor Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers apparently is concentrat- ing on saving face today as he rel terates that catcher Mickey Owen will be sold or traded.
 The good seFlor from Flatbush, who always pays off 100 words to the dollar, insists that by trying to make few extra bucks the vile lainous Mickey didn't do right by our Nell. It presents soul- swell ing tableau, as Massa Hickey stands sternly in the open door of the Dodger nuthouSe with an emphatic forefinger pointing righteous out into the cold, cold night for the rascally Owen.
 Truth, justice and Dodger auto- cracy are upheld The beatiflc smile returns to the kindly fase of Massa Rickey and agan all is peace and contentment.
 But you'll notice there's a catch in the "sold or traded" announce ment. The irate president of the Flock adds: If a good deal can be made"
 Gets Verbal Mickey
 It probably won't be. The general opinion is that owen simply is get ting a verbal mickey as chastise- ment. Because when he first signed with the Mexican League. Hickey announced in several thousand ven-

omous words that "he will never play with Brooklyn again"
 Leo Durocher turned in one oi his best theSpian offerings when we Charley MacCartheyed the boss man in the bow tie and added:
 MT. Hickey is the one to decide what happens to Owen. My catch ing is not too bad.
 Not too bad for the Epworth League, that is. The deacon may be in a righteously indignant mood but it is reported that Lippy Leo kissed the man who brought the news that Mickey was coming home. From an old member of the Gas House Gang, that's really being over- whelmed with joy.
 The reasons, however, are simple. As his top receiver, the Lippy one whose catching "is not too bad" has a rookie whom the Yankees cast off five years ago. This is T-year- old Terrell Anderson, University of Kansas graduate picked up from NAubs
 Back of Anderson is Mike Sand lock, now out with a split finger. This is the same Sandlock who, when Dixie Howell looked good earlier in the spring, was adjudged by Hickey as having mo chance to make his catching staff"
 Hickey is Saint
 Durocher agreed, apparently on the principles of the law of supply and demand and the dream of Owens return.
 It all sinners down, of course, to that fact that in his organization Hickey is saint on pedestal which has a loud speaker attachment. The public address system has only one microphone- Rickey's.
 While at St. Louis, where he earned the apt title of "The Fox of Sportsman's Park, and in the last few years since he has wrapped Brooklyn up as his personal little package, Hickey has never brooked interference and very little suggest ion. The watchwords were: obedi- ence and economy.
 Owen got little out of line on the former and frankly is out of order in the latter because he makes $12,5O0 a year. That monetary item will be his walking ticket, if and when, because the deacon doesn't like to part with so mony dollars even for pennant.
