H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' TORONTO LEAFS took four points over the weekend with a sparkling display of sound hockey and just about clinched first place in the National League standings. They are now three full. points ahead of Chicago Black Hawks, who in turn are now only a point ahead of Montreal Canadiens-- * and each has three games left to play. Detroit Red Wings are in Chicago tonight and this, of course, is a. big one for the Black Hawks. But if they do manage to hobble Gordie Howe and the other Detroit snipers, Punch Imlach's Mapleos * can just about wrap it up with a win tomorrow night, when Montreal Canadiens play at Maple Leaf Gardens. The way Leafs are flying these days, Montreal can be. forgiven if they'd like to overtake Chicago and finish in second place-- that way they wouldn't have to meet Leafs in the semi-final - round, which, by the way, will get under way on Tuesday, March 26, on the home ice of the team finishing in first place. The other semi-final bracket opens the same night, between the teams finishing 2nd and 4th, with first game on the home fee of the team that finishes second. Blanking the Hawks on Saturday night at home was the big one for the Leafs but then they protected this win by going into New York on Sunday night and turning back Rangers, 2-1. Should the various playoff berths still be in doubt after tomorrow night's game, the weekend action could be hectic, with Red Wings visiting Toronto and Chicago playing in Montreal, on Saturday night. Leats go back to Detroit on Sunday and Black Hawks wind up their schedule on Boston ice. x x x x RUSSIA captured the 1963 World's Hockey Championship and we suspect that even though the Trail Smoke Eaters could gain only fourth place for Canada--lowest ever in any World's F championship or Olympic Games standing -- Sweden's dis- ~~ appointment was just as keen as that of the Canadian contin- gent. The Czechs and Russians were admitted to have an excellent chance of copping the crown but prior to the tourna- ment, it was Sweden that was picked as outstanding favorites for the title as always, there'll be some ink splashed around now for a week or so, as the armchair experts voice a variety of opinions as to what steps Canada should take to regain their world hockey prestige. A Canadian manufacturer of hockey helmets, who attended the tournament, Charles Pat- terson, has come right out with the statement that Sweden's hockey system is worth adopting, by Canadians. A lot of Canadian hockey fans would welcome any change in policy, especially if it would restore senior hockey in this country back up on a level comaprable to 10 years ago. The prevail- ing thought today is that senior hockey in Canada has slipped in calibre, hence also in popularity. pas x x. &- 2 THE PAST WEEKEND saw the passing of a couple of lécal citizens who were more than unusually sports-minded. 'BLANCHE' NORTON, long active in bowling as a recrea- ' tional activity, was one of the city's most avid sports fans, being especially fond of Junior sports, hockey and baseball in . particular. She and her late husband rarely missed a hockey game at Oshawa Arena or a baseball game at Kinsmen Stad- iam. 'Blanche' was one of the original founders of The Osh- " awa Generals' Booster Club.

Ron Santo and Billy NORM LARKER, Milwau- kee Braves first baseman slides home on grounder by Denis Monke to Dick Phillips, Bats Crack For 26 Homers In Citrus Loop TAMPA, Fla. (AP)--It's get- ting to be that time of the base- ball spring training season when batters start catching up with pitchers. The sluggers went on a homer barrage in the 10 major league exhibition games Mon- day, accounting for 26 round- trippers. Catcher Johnny Orsino of Baltimore set the pace with three homers as the unbeaten Orioles rang up their ninth straight victory, nipp'ng Cin- cinnati Reds .4-3. Orsino con- nected in the third, fifth and seventh innings to drive in all the Birds' runs, Hank Foiles and pinch-hitter Harry Bright tagged home runs for the Reds. All of Orsino's blasts came off losing pitcher Jim O'Toole, who became the first Cincinnati pitcher to go seven innings. Six circuit clouts were struck in a Houston-San Francisco slugfest with the Colts whipping the Giants 14-5 with five runs in the eighth imning and seven in the ninth, Jim Wynn, Ellis Burton and George Williams clubbed home runs for Houston while Ed Bailey socked two and Jose Cardenal one for the Giants. Chicago Cubs unleashed four homers--including a pair by Nelscn Mathews--but dropped their eighth game in 10 outings as Cleveland Indians romped to Williams were the other Chi- cago distance swingers while Tito Francona homered for the Indians. Rocky Colavito, Norm Cash and Gus Triandos clicked for rowid-trippers in Detroit Ti- gers' 8-5 victory over St. Louis Cardinals at Lakeland, Fla. The Tigers won their fourth straight. Deacon Jones' home run in the sixth inning off Sandy Kou- fax enabled Chicago White Sox to edge Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4, It was the only earned run off the hard-throwing southpaw, who struck out 13 batters in a seven-inning stint. Ron Fairly walloped a homer for the Dodg- ers. New York Mets blanked New York Yankees 1-0 as Roger Craig and Al Jackson combined for a five-hitter, Larry Burright singled home the only run in the seventh inning.

(CP)--The Saints came marching into the Canadian junior basketball tournament': -- and with such gusto they earned themselves the role of early favorites, The Saints, representing Van- couver CYO, were so impres- sive Monday in dumping Tor- onto YMHA 74-57 in their first game in the eight-team double- knockout competition that they have been picked to take it all. In other open'ng-round games, Montreal's University Settle- ment Orchios downed St. Ste- phen Mohawks of New Bruns- wick 70-45, Windsor AKO edged University of Manitoba 51-41 and Hamilton Buccaneers topped Edmonton Huskies 56-48, | St. Stephen was scheduled to) meet Manitoba today while Tor- onto met Edmonton, Montreal faced Windsor at 7 O'clock and Hamilton meets the mighty Washington third baseman who threw to catcher Ken Retzer. Larker in hard slide at home plate kicked ball out Montreal had little trouble in posting the win, Taller and more experienced, the Orchios piled up an 18-0 lead before St. Ste- phen could find the range. Joe Clark topped indsor with 13 points in the thriller of the day as AKO took the lead jate in the fourth quarter and hung on to win, Both teams fal- tered in the second half, but Windsor's over-all performance was impressive enough to earn it the role as the best bet to knock off Vancouver. Edmonton pecked away at an early Hamilton lead and cut the margin to two points et half time but the Buccaneers had more staying power and pulled away in the final three minutes, Had there been more men like Nolan Kane in the Toronto lineup, the Vancouver club might have had a tougher time.
