Rockey Leagues Stanley Cup play
offs in Montreal tonight, with the
Flying Frenchmen favored to re-
tain the cup and win $4,000 of the

nants, the Canadiens will play the
first two games of their best four

place Bruins in Montreal and then

sary, the sites will alternate, with
the fifth and seventh games at
Montreal and the sixth at Boston.
The Canadiens, who lost only one
game in winning the play-offs last
year, will divide $4,000 if they re-
tain the title while the runner-up
will slice up $4,000 and the two
teams eliminated in the first round,
$4,000 a piece. Montreal already has
pocketed $4,000 for winning the

By fhe Assoeiofed Press

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Mar. 25.-A
couple of former major league base
ball stars who jumped to the Mexi-
can League last year were headed
south of the border again today.
Only one Of them, however, has an
nounced definite intentions of play
ing this season.
George Hausmann, second base
man, formerly with the New York
Giants, announced he would leave
here today to sign contract to play
with either Monterrey or Torreon
of the six-team Mexican League.
Fred Martin, former st. Louis
Cardinal pitcher, was reported to
have left Laredo, Tex, for salary
conference with League President
Jorge Pasquel.
Martin said he wanted to play
in Mexico this year, but would not
consider taking a cut in salary,
which Pasquel indicated was in store
for him.
Max Lanier, another former Car
dinal player who jumped to the
Mexican League, was to have gone
with Martin to Mexico. He did not
appear.

Victory Over KapiIow
Earns Doyle a Shot
Al Robinson 5 Title
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 25.-Slick and
sharp as he was before his forced
retirement a year ago, Los Angeles
Jimmy Doyle today had cleared one
hurdle on the comeback trail, but an
imposing obstacle in the person OF
Welterweight Champion Ray (Su-
gar) Robinson looms before him.
A year ago Jimmy was in the
hospital with a brain conclusion
after knockout by MiddleWeight
Artie Levine and many thought his
ring days were over.
However, the dead-panned Cali
fornian proved last night that he
could come back by slashing his
way to clean-cut decision over
Brooklyn's hard hitting Danny Kap-
ilow in a 10-rollnder at the Arena.
The triumph-his fourth in
row since his return to action
earned Jimmy shot at Robinsons
welterweight title here May 26.
Doyle started slow, but after Kap-
ilow took the first two rounds Jimmy
started to function and from there
on left little doubt as to who was
in charge.
Doyle concentrated on an attack
to the midsection and forced Kap-
ilow to grab and hold in the fourth,
fifth and seventh. In the ninth
left ano right almost dropped the
weary fastener.
Kapilow staged a desperation
rally that gave him the edge in the
final round and the two traded
punches so furiously that they kept
up the exchange after the bell and
had to be separated by referee Lew
Parker.
Each fighter weighed lat. The
bout drew 6,621 fans who contrib
uted to a gate of $25 ,487.

MIAMI, Fla, Mar. Is. l. Jerry
Witte, regarded by many as heir
apparent to the American Leagues
home run championship that was
vacated when the Detroit Tigers sold
Hank Greenberg, king of the round
trip wallopers, to the Pittsburgh
Pirates, is beginning to find the
four-base range.
The 29-year-old first sacker, who
wound up the American League
campaign with the Browns last year
after clouting 46 homers in the
regular season and 3 in the Amer
lean Associations all-star game
while playing for Toledo, has ham
mered four balls out of the lot for
the Browns so far, including two
against the Brooklyn Dodgers B
team yesterday.
Starting out as a second sacker
in the st. Louis Cardinal organi-
zation, Witte was moved to third
and then to first by the Browns
after the Cards let him 60 because
of foot injury.
The husky star came fast after
shifting to the initial sack and if
he continues to hit he undoubtedly
will replace light-hitting but fancy
fielding Church Stevens as the
Brownie first sacker.
The Browns are hoping Witte
makes the grade and follows in the
footsteps of Hal Trosky, Jimmy Fox,
Rudy York, Greenberg and the late
Lou Gehrig as home run hitting
first baseman.
SARASOTA, Fla.-The st, Louis
Cardinals did not employ the Dyer
