Skiing in the sunshine state? They mean water skiing, of course. --Central Press Canadian. S Well, they're ready for the Stanley Cup finals now. It will be Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens and the schedule for the | fiest five games of the 4-out-of-7 title series has been announced. Leafs | and Maple Leaf Gardens have all the best of it, with the first game | in Toronto on Wednesday night and then théy get a game on Saturday, with the 5th game also in Toronto on Saturday night and if it goes the limit, no doubt the 7th game will be a Saturday date also on Toronto ice. Habs nippéd Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Saturday night in the 6th game of the semi-finals, to send the N.H.L. League Champions into the discard. And so the team that won the Stanley Cup last year and had a walkaway parade in this year's 70-game schedule, is not in the finals. Toronto Leafs disposed of Boston Bruins in handy fashion, on Saturday 4-1 im Toronto and 6-0 last night at Boston, Joe Klukay with two goals in each game was one of the big men for the Leafs--but we still think the best thing that hapened to the Leafs was when Rollins was injured. Broda has been in his old-time playoff form--which means sensational, 'all the way. mm £ GPORT SNAPSHOT By Gro. H.

The 40-to-1 shot ran neck and neck nearly all the way with Royal Tan, an Irish-owned "sleeper", ov- er the treacherous 30-jump 4%%- mile course. Royal Tan, second six lengths behind, was quoted at 22- to-1 odds. Remounted to Finish 3rd Derrinstown, another Irish-owned horse, fell but was remounted and finished 3rd about 250 yards in the rear, . The running time was nine min- utes, 47 2/5 seconds, compared with the record of 9:20 2/5 set by Golden Miller in 1934 and equalled in 1940 by Bogskar. The race was worth $23,744 to the winner. Horse after horse was spilled in the heavy going, made soft after early-morning showers and hail. Among the casualties were the Irish-owned Shagreen, Arctic Gold, 8-to-1 favorite owned by John Hay (Jock) Whitney of New York, and Freebooter, last year's winner. Russian Hero, which took the 1949 National, also went down as horses were strewn all over the course. Won In Home Stretch Nickel Coin and Royal Tan were | the last two horses still on their feet six fences from home, and raced as though wired together over the last three jumps. They came into the stretch neck and neck, but at this point Nickel Ccin moved in front. The National is run over two circuits of the track, and by the time they had been around once, only five of the 36 starters still were on their feet. Nickel Coin was one of three .mares entered. Her rider, Johnny Bullock, has been supplementing her diet lately with eggs and stout, that potent dark-brown drink be- loved by the Irish. First Ride In National Royal Tan's rider, A. (Fonsie) O'Brien, had never ridden at Ain- tree before but is a top-flight Irish amateur. Derrinstown, an 11-year-old vet- eran of more than 100 races, was originally bought for $65. Arctic Gold, a six-year-old, had taken the lead from Caesar's Wife and Rowland Roy at the sixth fence --Becher's Brook--the first time around. But the Whitney horse went down two jumps later at the treacherous Canal Turn. Whitney, who flew here for the race, almost won it in 1929 when his Easter Hero cut his foreleg and fin- ished second to Gregalach. Nickel Coin was bought by Frank Royle eight years ago, when she was a yearling. She didn't start racing over fences until 1948. Nickel Coin was the 13th mare to win the National and only the sec- ond in 49 years. The last was Sheila's Cottage, which came in at 50-to-1 in 1948. The winner, by Pay Up-Viscum, carried 141 pounds, only one pound more than the minimum for the race. Royal Tan carried 153 pounds, J The Grand National has formed the basis for the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes since 1931. Thirty Eliminated Early By the time the field reached the water jump--the 16th obstacle --a total of 31 horses had hit the dirt. By that time the only ones stil running were Gay Heather, Nickel Coin, Derrinstown, Royal Tan and Broomfield. There were then still 14 jumps to go. STANLEY CUP WILL RETU Toronto Leafs Blast Bruins Twice On Successive Nights, ~~ Enter Finals Against Habs Leafs Outdo Themselves In Gaining Cup Final --Klukay Again Tops Toronto Marksmen -- Broda in Fatman Form Boston, April 9--(AP) -- Toronto Maple Leafs, currently playing their best hockey of the season, headed back today to their St. Ca- tharines, Ont., hideout to prepare for the Stanley Cup finals against Les Canadiens of Montreal, start- ing Wednesday night. . Leafs outdid themselves last night, in the opinion of Happy Day, their former coach and now Assistant General Manager, in whipping Bos- ton Bruins 6-0 to qualify for the National Hockey League's final playdowns. Their checking kept Bruins hem- med in most of the night and their passing patterns worked smoothly as they downed the Bruins for the fourth time in the best-of-seven series. Les Canadiens also played their peak after a dismal start when they eliminated Detroit's pennant- winning Red Wings Saturday night by a 3-2 score. Much Better Team Joe Primeau, Leaf coach, pointed out to a questioner: "Montreal isn't the same team it was during the season. They're a much better club now." His quizzer had reminded that Toronto defeated Canadiens 10 times during the regular season. Leafs are at top strength except for Harry Watson, who didn't play at all in the Boston series because of a separated shoulder. But Harry has been skating lightly and prob- ably will be ready to play against Montreal. leafs skated at top speed all last night and the checking of the for- wards and the stout defence put hid earguards made standou Ag work much easier, } Klukay Repeats Joe Klukay repeated his effort of Saturday night, when the Leafs won 4-1, getting an assist on Fleming Mackell's second-period goal. Ted Kennedy opened the scoring half- way through the first period, with Klukay getting his first about five minutes later. Leading 3-0 in the third period, the Leafs wrapped it up with goals by Syd Smith and Tod Sloan before Klukay got his second with five minutes to go. Boston Coach Lynn Patrick tried all sorts of combinations to break the Bruins out of the tight lead de- fence. He even shifted again to Gordon Henry, recalled from Hersh- ey of the American League, in place of Jack Gelineau, who played the full season as Boston's goalie. Gelineau score a 2-0 shutout over Leafs in the series opener nine days ago in Toronto. But Bruins against Broda were able to score only four goals in five and 2/3 games--six hours, three minutes and 16 seconds. Broda played after Vezina Trophy winner Al Rollins suffered a knee injury in the opening game of the series. Bruins were outshot by wide mar- gins in all games, further proof of Leafs' remarkable control of the puck. Bronko Nagurski Named At Middle On U.S. All-Time New Brunswick, N.J.,, April 9 -- (AP) -- Minnesota's Bronko Nagur= ski was endowed with such size, speed and natural talent that he probably could have become an all- time all-America football star at any position he chose. United States sports writers and broadcasters had a tough time find- ing the right place for him in The Associated Press' poll, but finally placed him at middle -- a mate of Wilburt (Fats) Henry, former Washington and Jefferson College great during and just after the First World War. In the poll to determine the all- time all-America for consideration to the National Football Hall of Fame, Nagurski drew the highest vote total, beaten out only by halfbacks Red Grange and Jim Thorpe. Members of the first three teams chosen in the' country-wide poll, representing more than 100 ballots and the opinions of thousands, qualify for consideration for the Hall of Fame, located at Rutgers University here.

Boston 8 8-19 Toronto 15--43 Gentlemen Joe ~ Tosses Bouquet To ""Turk" Broda Boston, April 9 -- (CP) -- "We looked bad, but they made us look bad," was Bruins Coach Lynn Pat- rick's summary of the final Toron- to-Boston Stanley Cup semi-final series game Sunday night. "Give the Leafs plenty of credit," Patrick added. "They were flying." After the contest he was among the first into the Leafs jubilant and noisy dressing room to congratulate Toronto Coach Joe Primeau and his players. Primeau was particularly pleased with the shutout Turk Broda earn- ed in Toronto nets. The "Turkey's" playoff showing after getting into the series because of Al Rollins' injury was sensa- tional. . Broda, still one of the game's top money players, allowed Boston only four goals in five and two-thirds games. This stretch included six hours, three minutes and 16 sec- onds of hockey. Primeau thought his first line of Captain Teeder Kennedy, Tod Sloan and 8id Smith did a great job, too. Patrick savas impressed with the aggressive showing made by young George (Red) Sullivan, just brought up from the Bruins' Hershey farm club, in the American Hockey League. Red was busy joustling with the ever-ready Leafs all night and once took a terrific stiff arm check from Barilko that sent him sprawling over backwards. Patrick felt that goaler Gordie Henry, who replaced Jack Gelineau for the last two series games, did a good job despite the 6-0 tally. "He didn't have a chance on the goals," Patrick added.

RN TO CANADA Canadiens Complete Upset With 3-2 Win In 6th Game, Ousting Wings From Series Habitants Hustle Detroit Out of Money Series in Wide-Open Thriller -- Richard, Mosdell and Reay Lead Winners By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer | Montreal, April 9 -- (CP) -- A! gala hockey band wagon labelled "Montreal Canadiens" held a sur- | prising lot of fast climbers today. | There was some reason behind all | the hurrah and scramble. Cana- | diens knocked off Detroit Red Wings 3-2 Saturday night in the sixth game of their Stanley Cup semi-final. The Montreal victory, first on either club's home ice, meant the favored Red Wings lost not only the best-of-seven series 4-2 on games but considerable prestige in the pro- cess. Canadiens now will meet To- ronto Maple Leafs in the Cup final. The game that eliminated Detroit was acclaimed one of the most sen- sational and gripping in Stanley Cup history. A crowd of 14,448 screamed itself into exhaustion when the teams piled up all five goals in the third period of a hectic, wide-open struggle in which not one penalty was called. Miss Open Nets Two scoreless periods went by, each team missing gaping nets. Jimmy Peters of the Wings and Maurice (Rocket) Richard of Cana- diens fired into the goal posts. Then the scoring deluge broke loose. At 6:49 of the final period Billy Reay of Canadiens tipped in Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion's shot for the first goal. Sid Abel of Detroit whipped in a rebound off Gordie Howe's shot to tie the score. Richard picked up Elmer Lach's short pass behind the Detroit net and whirled around the goal post to beat Terry Sawchuk. | The crowd, on its feet the rest of the way, went into a frenzy. The | game appeared safe for the Mon- | trealers when Ken Mosdell broke | into the clear with Floyd Curry | from a Detroit power play and beat | Sawchuk cleanly. Came Very Close | The Red Wings, skating furiously | and storming the Montreal zone, came within one goal of tying the score on an all-out power play. | From a scramble of players came a | screened shot that goalie Gerry Mc- | Neil of Canadiens didn't even see. The puck whistled into the net and the goal was credited to left-winger | Ted Lindsay of the Wings. | In the last minute, the Wings | pulled Sawchuk from the net and | sent six men on in a last bid for | the tying goal. The Wings' produc- | tion line of Howe, Abel and Lindsay | fought it out to the last second | against Canadiens' great stand. | Six seconds from the end, Lach | beat Abel to the draw in a Montreal | zone face-off, and the Wings' last | great chance was gone.
