Detroit Coach Jimmy Skinner
said simply, after the game:
1--WE were beaten. We played
lousy hockey and the boys just
weren't hungry"
Detroit was in the game only
in the first period last night
when the score was tied at ii.
Then Boom Boom went to work
and the Canadiens came out of
the second period with a AZ
lead. From there on it was easy.
A rhubarb erupted in the
second period. with a 10-minute
misconduct penalty slapped on
Goalie Terry Sawchuk of Detroit.
The Wings put up a squawk on
Gioffrion's second goal, claiming
the NILS leading scorer during
the regular season had kicked
the puck into the nets.
Sawchuk angrily skated to the
timers box to argue with referee
Red Storey and other officials.
That's when he was penalized.

MONTREAL, April 13 (R.-
The Stanley Cup playoff heads
back to Detroit today with the
Montreal Canadiens' comeback
gang confident they can take
hockey's choicest plum from the
Red Wings in what figures to be
a rough and tough winner-take-
all finale tomorrow night.

into its seventh game by whip

.kiner Rewards
Fans
With Home Run

CLEVELAND. April Is iP). -
No other active major Lacquer
has hit nearly as many homers
as Ralph Kiner. but the big fell
low felt all the glow of a rookie
when he belted No. $50 into the
left field seats here yesterday.
Kiner's clout didn't mean
much to the outcome of the
opener which the Tribe won
from the White Sox. ST..
But in that home run by the
new Cleveland leftf1elder was the
major bit of drama which the
years record opening day
throng Of 50.230 fans will re-
member.
After nine years in the Ma
tional League-seven as a Pitts
burgh Pirate setting the home
run pace for the league-Kiner
was making his start as an
American Lacquer.
Was All Tightened Up
Maybe I was too anxious, be-
cause I was all frightened up out
there" Kiner said afterward. I'm
fact, really was scared. Every
thing seemed new and different,
just as though I was starting
over in baseball"
The crowd cheered as Kiner
came to bat the first time-with
the bases filled, one out, and no
score yet. He went out swing
ing at a pitch that had missed
the outside corner.
The fans disappointment had
little time to last, because Vic
Wertz smacked Virgil Trucks
next pitch into centerfield for a
two-run single. But when Kiner
came up in the third he whitfield
again. taking q called third
strike.
Kiner came up again in the
fifth, after the Indians had
given a 40 lead to Bob Lemon.
Then a strange thing happened.
Pays Of For Cheers
AS Kiner walked to the plate
a ripple of applause started, and
it grew to a loud cheer. For a
player who has done nothing
but catch two easy fly balls and
strike out twice. getting such a
cheer in Cleveland is strange
indeed.
The husky outfielder, who adj
mitted he'd been going all out
in conditioning to avoid q bad
getaway this time" said he was
feeling worse than ever" after
those two strikeouts. and then
he heard the cheers.
Something like that is UNI
expected" he said. "and I'm sure
it gave me a lift. think it must
have taken off some of the pres
sure I was feeling"
He worked the count to 81
and then paid off for the cheers
by smashing Trucks fast ball
into the left field seats $40 feet
away. ~
The Indians didn't need the
run, but Manager AL Lopez said
he was "sure glad to see Kiner
hit that one-it's just what he
needed"

to ride for one day at Bowie or

Regalbuto, who has a brother

far to be grounded as he simply

Anderson was his only mount
at the session. At least he ap-
preciates how Arcaro feels.
