R. WHEATLEY . Canadian Press Staff Writer DETROIT (CP) -- The Stanley Cup final, sidetracked into a maze of name calling and sinling cuss words, gets back on the key rails tonight. The terminus is s a long way off. Detroit Red Wings, winners 4-2 Sunday in the first game of the best-of-seven series, are favorites to repeat on home ice over Mont- real Canadiens before the series shifts to Montreal Thursday. The man who threw the derail switch is Montreal coach Dick Ir- vin, and he did it with embellish- ments to the word "liar." In the lobby of the Detroit Leland Hotel Monday Irvin put an ear-shrivelling blast on linesman Sammy Babcock--a public castiga- tion of an official believed to be without precedent in Stanley Cup history. WILL DO NOTHING President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League, here for the series, said he will do nothing about the incident. "We have had enough inflammatory sit- His Say Hotel Lobby Is His Stage Irvin, his voice rising. "All three of you said Richard was carrying the puck at the- time. What did Laycoe himself say at the hearing before Campbell? He said: 'I was in possession of the puck.' So all three of you are a bunch of blankety blank liars." Babcock, flushing, started to say something. Irvin strode off. Still sizzling two hours later, Ir- vin said "That's the first time I've caught up with that lying Dlaskaty t d to te. Marlie Star, Billy Harris May Be Out TORONTO CP)--Toronto Marl- boros, who already have their troubles in the eastern Canada Memorial Cup finals, may be with- out their top player when they meet Quebec Frontenacs in the sec- cnd game of the series here to- night. Quebec won the first game of the best-of-seven final 4-1 Saturday. Marlboro center Billy Harris, the team's leading scorer during the blank since B I him what I thought of him." RELATES INCIDENT Irvin related an incident of three years ago, also during the Stanley Cup series. He said Dollard St. Lau rent, Montreal defencema was butt-ended in the eye by Gord Howe of the Red Wings and thi was no penalty. On the train that night Irvin saw the game officials sitting with Carl Voss, NHL referee-in-chief. "I asked them right there if it was true there were special rules for Canadiens and special rules for Detroit. Voss said: 'They have to_think of their jobs, too." uations already," said Camp It wasn't the Sunday game that rankled Irvin. It was the blood- letting March 13 game in Boston when Canadiens' Maurice Richard, bleeding from a cut head, swung his stick repeatedly on Hal Laycoe of the Bruins and bopped lines- man Cliff Thompson in the eye with his fist. Campbell ruled Richard out for the three remaining games of the regular schedule and all Stanley Cup play. Babcock, referee Frank Udvari and linesman Thompson were the officials in that game. Only Bab. cock has worked so far in the cup final. Referee Red Storey and lines- man Doug Davies are here for the second game. Bill Chadwick han- dled the Sunday game, with Bab- cock and Davies. FOR EMPHASIS Spotting Babcock sitting in the lobby, near Storey and Davies, Ir- vin strode over to"the linesman and began hammering air with his hand to emphasize what -he-was! beock nor his working mates are staying at the Leland Hotel. Voss said they went there to and in the Ontario Hockey Association junior A finals against St. Catharines, suffered a charley horse. four minutes before Satur- day's game ended and is a doubt- ful starter for tonight's game. Harris had 37 goals and 29 as- sists for 66 points during the sea- son. In the six-game series against St. Catharines he had 14 points, including four goals. EXPECTS IMPROVEMENT Quebec coach" Phil Watson, de- lighted at his team's showing in the opener, expects his team to improve. "That was our first tough game in quite a while," he said after Saturday's victory. "We can play better. Wait until our big line Guy R Jean R - Richard talk with him and C b Bab- cock especially to report a badly bruised leg suffered Sunday when struck by a puck. George Hayes has been named to take Babcock's place for Jomght's game, with Da- vies again a linesman and Storey replacing Chadwick as referee. The lobby affair today recalled an incident involving Richard a few seasons ago. The Rocket, incensed over a misconduct penalty called against him in Montreal by referee Hugh McLean, spotted McLean in a New York hotel lobby the fol- lowing day. Richard throttled the referee and gave him a thorough shaking. That affair cost the Rocket $500. Later Monday night, Irvin an- nounced lineup switches for to- night's game. Boom Boom Geof- frion will be taken off the line of Jean Beliveau and Bert Olmstead and will be replaced by Dickie | Moore. Geoffrion will go with the Jackie saying. "And what did you do?" said Leclair and Don Marshall line. OTTAWA (CP)--The Auditorium hasn't been as packed in years as it was Monday night for an old- timers' charity hockey game, but the crowd saved most of its cheer- ing for a fellow who's still pretty active--Maurice (Rocket) Richard. The Rocket was reunited with his old pals from the once-great punch line of Montreal Canadiens, Elmer Lach and Toe Blake. With Lach assisting, he scored twice for the Montreal - Toronto team, but it wasn't h to bring the visitors tic .

Monday night's victory followed | Fort William's pattern in the first game when the Beavers struck early to chalk up a 2-1 victory. Tom Kompton gave the Beavers a 1-0 lead in the first period and Saplywy scored one in the second and another in the third to wrap it up. Sherman Blair notched Ver- son's only goal less than three minutes from the end of the game and two minutes before Saplywy's second goal clinched the victory. The first two periods were rough, both clubs frequently resorting to high sticks and elbows. Seventeen penalties were called during the first 40 minutes. Only one was assessed in the last period. Peter Goegan of the Beavers and Don McLeod of the Canadians were off on a double penalty for roughing and Vernon's Orval La-| vell for interference when Komp- ton opened the scoring at 9:17 of the first period. He took a pass victory. The Ottawa veterans won 7-5, coming from behind with four goals in the final period. Syd Howe, one-time Detroit Red Wings star, blinked the light three times to lead the Ottawa menagerie of superannuated, active and semi- active players to victory. Another former Detroit man, Cully Simon, former Ottawa Senator Des Smith, Rip Riopelle, ex-Montrealer, and Lude Check, once with Chicago Black Hawks, accounted for the other Ottawa goals. 3 Some 8,600 fans, a standing-room- only crowd, packed the Auditor- jum for the game, a fund-raising affair for the Ottawa Boys Club. "The Rocket' Gets Cheers In Ottawa The last time that happened here was back in the 1949-50 Quebec Hockey League season when Mont- real's Jean Beliveau used to ap- pear here against the Senators with Quebec Aces. VISITORS' SCORERS Jimmy Orlando, former Red Wing, Jerry Heffernan, ex-Mont- realer, and former Toronto Maple Leaf Hank Goldup fired the other goals for the Montreal - Toronto group. The only penalties in the game were called on Orlando and Ed Gorman of the Ottawa crew in the last period. Gerry McNeil, who retired from the Canadiens' net last year, spent the game in the visitors' goal. Ot- tawa net activities were divided among Bill Durnan, another for- mer Montrealer, Bill Beveridge, former Montreal Maroon, and Ben MacDonnell, an ex-Senators player. There were other names from the past there, too--like Ken Rear- don, Murph Chamberlain, Busher Jackson, and Wally Stanowski. Bucko McDonald and Roy Con- acher watched from the crowd and old-pro Newsy Lalonde did the coaching for the visitors. WINS DECISION MONTREAL (CP)--Paolo Melis of Montreal, an exper at infight- ing, Monday night pounded out a unanimous decision over Chet Vinci from Alex Irving and backhanded a drive past Hal Gordon in the | Vernon nets. | A pass from playing coach Bob | Drainville to Saplywy produced | Forf William's second goal at 7:45 of the middle period. Blair spoiled Paul Morin's shut- out at 17:26 of the final stanza, batting in a puck from a scramblé in front of the Fort William net. With Canadians trying to bench their netminder in favor of a sixth attacker, Saplywy took a pass from Drainville, broke into the clear and clinched the victory, beating Gordon with only 42 seconds left in the game.
