(AP)--This is the portrait of a man with a single, corroding ambition. He wants to pitch and win one ma- jor league baseball game. He is a solid, 43-year-old busi- fhessman who owns and oper- ates a large restaurant and bowling alley at South Venice, Fla. He has left his office there to run, pitch, exercise, sweat and strive without benefit of pay with Chicago White Sox in training here. His name is Early Wynn, in a major league career that started in 1939 he has won 299 games while losing 242. Like all baseball players he has a myst- ical reverence' for numbers, articularly round numbers, he number 300 has become an y | Obsession. i; EILL Bobby Hull Sparks Hawks First Win On Two Early Goals victory over Montreal was in) the third game of the 1959 final.| Abel. "And it could be a differ- ent series when we get Chicago "It's mot pride," he says, "I just want to win. . ." Wynn won seven and lost 15 with the Sox lust year and was then released to clear the roster for younger players. He accepted this blow philo- sophically and is back in the Sox camp at his own expense in the hope he will be placed on the regular roster at the start of the season. If he is, he will bargam hard over sal- ary. He does not propose to win for charity, ONLY 13 DID IT To put his ambition in per- spective, note that only 13 pitchers in the annals of base- ball have won 300 or more games. Warren Spahn of Mil- waukee Braves did it in 1961. Prior to that, the last to do it was Lefty Grove of the Phil- adelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox in 1941, No big winning pitcher active today has a chance to reach 300. The nearest is Robin Rob- erts of Baltimore Orioles with 244, but he is 36 and near the end of his career. Whitey Ford of New York Yankees, with all his redoubtable reputation, has won only 175, Early Wynn Wants: Just One More Win Wynn is a baseball player in the old tradition: big, swarthy (he has Indian blood), salty in conversation, with a start on a paunch, and a oe & gout that bothered him recent years, ( i "I'm back here at 218 pounds, which is what I was at end of last season.

The Habs promptly dropped the opener 3-1 Tuesday night and looked as if they could keep on doing the same all through the best-of-seven series. The Leafs, who finished in first place by a whisker in the regular schedule, played. well. But, had the Canadiens pro- vided the formidable opposition they did in days gone by it might have been a different story.

H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR "Everything From Soup To Nuts' THE STANLEY CUP playoffs got upder way last night and in both cases, the first game of the two semi-final sets saw the expected winners, the "home team", come out on top. In Toronto, the Maple Leafs whipped Montreal Cana- diens, 3-1, and but for some sensational puck-stopping by Jacques Plante, the score in this one could have been a lot higher. Pulford, Duff and Armstrong scored the Toronto tal- lies while Jean Beliveau got Montreal's lone counter. In Chicago, Bobby Hull made a surprise appearance and scored two goals in the first period to get the Black Hawks wing- ing -- and they went into a 5-2 lead but had to fight hard to hold off a Detroit rally in the third period, when Wings scored two in the first three minutes to make it 5-4 but just couldn't get the equalizer. Hull's injured shoulder is now admitted to be "'a slight separation' and while he earned star rating with his two goals last night, it has been hinted that 'he was "hurting" after the game and so he may miss the next one. Both rounds resume tomorrow night, still in Toronto and Chicago. x x BRIGHT BITS: -- We hav x x e a letter from Len Gaudette of Galt, who is organizing a re-union of former Scottish hoc- key players, for the weekend of Saturday, April 20, to be held in Preston.

Bobby Hull has added another. The muscular young Chicago Black Hawk leftwinger spiced jit up with a two-goal perfor- mance Tuesday night as the Hawks defeated Detroit Red Wings 5-4 in the opener of the best-of-seven cup semi-final. He accomplished it with a bum {right shoulder, diagnosed as a i"slight separation." "I can't do the club any good playing with one arm," Hull told reporters a few hours be- fore the faceoff. He said he would watch the game from the stands, But the blonde bomber, a mainstay of the Hawks the last couple of seasons, later decided to give it the old college try.

Hull, who opened the scoring at 9:08 of the first period, got his second while defenceman Pete Goegan was sitting out a holding penalty. Howie Young, fiery Detroit defenceman - for- ward who was chased off on second behind Toronto Maple |Leafs, deserved the win. But there were times when it ap- peared neither team wanted the game, played before 15,491 fans. The defensive corps were loose and the Hawks, who usu- ally try to soften up the opposi- tion with stiff bodychecking early in the game, played it cozy. Despite this, referee Vern Buffey called 14 penalties, only five against Chicago, with winger Murray Balfour getting three for roughing, high sticking and holding. The game was "kind of loose," summed up Pilous.
