Stars As Leafs A Take. 3-1 Win Over Red Wings _'l‘0 Lead Series 2-0

. By Jack Sullivan

DBIROIT, April 10 —-(C.§') - Sid (Buff) Smith, rookie left wing- er, scored all Toronto's goals to- night as the Maple Leafs defeated‘ Detroit Red Wings 3-1 to take a two-same lead in their best-of- seven Stanley Cup finals. ,

The chunky, 24-year-old player- up from Pittsburgh, Leaf farm club -socred two in the first period within two minutes and added his third near the end of the second to clinch the game for the defending cup holders.

Pele l-Toreck. who was in the penalty box 0n Smith's first two goals. got Detroit's lone tally short- ly after start oi the third to give the Wingsa lift, but they just didn't have it‘to take the game. Ififlfg won the opener 8-2 in over- time and the teams meet again in Toronto next Wednesday and Sat- urday. ‘

The game, played before 14,925 rabid Detroit fans, went at a fast clip.‘ in contrast to the slow play in the series opener Friday.

Bnitti was the whole show.

He was going both ways all Ill time and proved to the Leafs it was probably their best move when they called on him lo help out in

the case again tonight is hard to say, as the Reece will be coming out strong intent on forcing the series to a third encounter. Which ever way it goes, however, local hoop fans who will be attending the game can be assured oi see- ing a well-played, keenly contest- ed encounter.

Consider Detroit. Melbourne For Olympic lames

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 10—(AP)—Either Detroit or Mel- bourne, Australia, is expected to be chosen us the site of the 1956 Olympic Games at the meeting of the International Olympic Commit- tee in Rome April 24-29.

Four other cities. Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Mexico City and Buenos Aires, also are bidding for the games. Delegations from all the Qlnpeting cities will present their flee at the Rome meeting.

Otto Mayer, chancellor of the in- ternational committee, recently re- ceived a formal invitation, signed by President Truman, inviting the '56 games to Detroit. -

Melbourne also la pressing its candidacy, having lent each com- mittee member a decorative invita- tion printed on doeskin. '

A decision on the site of the 1956 winter games also will be made at the Rome meeting. If the games are held in the United States the winter gamea almost certainly will go to Lake Placid, N. Y.

The Home meetings also will con- sider the elimination of a long lllt of events from future games. Hel- sinki, cite of the next games in 1962, is especially anxious to re- duce the program in order to keep the games within the city's limited capacity. w

A report of a commission on a general revision of Olympic rules and a reorganization of the Inter- national Olympic Committee ltulf is also to be dileuucd ‘ ' the

THE GUARDIAN. UHARLO'l"l‘E'l‘()W1\'

APRIL 11.

With Murph Chamberlain's parture from the National Hockey League the game will be losing one

de-

of its "color" players. Murph, known as "the hard rock" for his hockey doings in Ontario's north- ern mining belt, announced that this season, no. 12 for him, waa his lust and he'll stay strictly to working his farm. O O O

The decision moved Dink (Gaz- ette) Carroll io note that Cham- berlain wlll always be “memorable in the annals of the game." Baz. (Star) O'Meara, wrote that Murph "was a throwback and we remem- ber some years ago when grinled Alf Smith went into the dressing room to shake hands with him and said "he plays like the old timers."

O O O O The following are a few odds and ends from the typewriters of Baz. Dink and Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson. “Butch Bouchard-is g0- lng to have a piece of loose cartil- age removed from his knee before next hockey season. Look for changes in Canadians player per- sonnel. Remember how during the season Frank Selke said Canadiens needed a bunch of hulking six- footers who could hand out some of the bashing he suid Canadiens were receiving? '

O O O O "The prediction here is that Bruins will trade Frankie Brlmsek to Chicago. . . Bill Durnnn can pick up $150 a week playing soft ba_ll in Detroit this coming sum- mer if he wants. . . N. H. L. prexy Clarence Campbell considers Terry Reardon of Provldencea nat- ural as a hockey coach because ‘he wasn't a big star as a player and had to learn things the hard way and his experience as an army officer taught him how to handle men.’

O O O ‘O

“Jack Stewart of Detroit is li ly to be traded to Chicago by D - troit which needs defensive help . . . When is King Clancy going to announce that he has given up his whistle and moved upstairs to the job of N.H.L. supervising re- feree?"

"The most oft-repeated question heard by a guy who cramped the Florida baseba‘! trails this spring is ‘what was the best looking ball club you saw down there?’ quotes Bill (Ottawa Journal) Graham. The answer is easy. continues the scribe. The Red Sox. O O O O "That doesn't mean, although it could be, tha the Red Sox are the best _in the merican League this year and will win the pennant. Re- member that in his rooming this reporter did not see the Indiana and that at St. Petersburg Casey Stengel was wondering if. . .or when. . . Joe DiMaggio would te able to ploy nine innings, and meanwhile, who would play first base, to say nothing of second base, shortstop and third base, who, aside from Vic Raschi and Tommy Byrne, would pitch and who, in- cluding Larry Berra, would catch. O O O O

"And that while Connie Mack was very hopeful of the Athletics and telling them that if they mind- ed their P's and Q's they could win e pennant, the young men were not too far advanced in their train- ing and, in truth, didn't seem to‘ ave so many P's and Q's al to re- quire special minding, even when they were all loosened up and rébdy for the opening of the season. (This, of course, is an opinion that one well may wish he had kept to himself, come October and a World Series at Shlbe Pork.) And that the Tigers were caught at a time when Red Rolfe still felt the shock in- duced by the iniurles to Art Hout- teman and, besides, wasn't sure who was going to play first and second and was undecided about his outfield save on the point that the recruit, John Groth, would start in centre. O O O O “So the view reflected here (the Senators were not seen at all, nor is that likely to make any differ- ence) must be narrowed down to the Red Sox approximately as they will look to you the first time they appear at the Stadium: the Ath- letics in a transitory state; the Yankees in a state of at least mild confusion. and the Tigers in the process of being made over by a manager who still was getting ac- quainted with them, In the circum- stances, the Red Sox naturally stood out."

iunners-Up at S’S"i&e Bonspiel‘ ,

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 10- (AP)--Dick Fowler is convinced that an injury sometimes can be a blessing in disguise. -

The 27-year-old Philadelphia Ath- letics’ pitcher believes that a lore arm last year made him a better hurler‘. '

C f ta anfl ‘ Whit have watched the Toronto-born right-handler work this spring claim his misfortune has made Fowler a "great" moundsman. Both manager Connie Mack and pitching coach Earl Bruckerrexpect him to win 20 games this year.

Fowler won_15 ball games with the A's in 1948 with a bursitus con- dition of the right shoulder.

How didlall this make him a bet- ter pitcher?

The injury forced him to give up his blazing fast ball. He had to depend on control and slow stuff. He became a master with the change-up pitch.

"After winning three straight.” said Fowler, "I asked myself, ‘how long can this keep up'."

It lasted long enough to give him a 15-and-8‘record.for the sea- son, best among a better than aver- age group of pitchers working for the A's.

This spring _ Fowler's arm has stopped aching. Now he not only has that slow, tantalizing stuff but also his natural speed.
