Chevalier was. moving along on| even terms when Datto landed with a right cross in the third, which was good for a count of nine.

He clambered from the lap | of ringsiders and for his pains was rewarded with three more knock- downs, the bell interrupting the count | on the last. | He fought defensively until the seventh, when Datto sent him down for a count of nine.

The second place series between the Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs and the third place playoff between the Detroit Falcons and Montreal Maroons will wind up at Toronto and Montreal. At New York, the New York Rang- ers need only one more victory over the world champion Montreal Cana- diens to win the first place series and at the same time qualify for the Stanley Cup finals. The Rangers-Canadiens test is on a best three-of-five basis and the Rangers already won two of the first three games. With two of their leading stars, Aurel Joliat and Pete Lepine on the sidelines through in- juries, the Canadiens seem to have little chance of stopping the Rangers in the fourth game tonight. Should the Canadiens win to even the series the fifth and deciding game will be Played here Sunday night. ‘ The other two playoffs are on a home-and-home, total goals, basis, with final decision to be reached to- night. Chicago beat the Maple Leafs, 1-0, in the opening game of their series Sunday night at Chicago. De- troit and.the Maroons, on the other hand, are all square. Their first game at Detroit Sunday resulted in a 1-1 tie. Tonight’s games must be played to a finish until one team or the other wins on total goals. The survivors of the Chicago-Tor- onto and Maroons-Detroit playoffs will meet in another home-and-home series for the right to qualify for the ‘draw runs true to form the Los An-|Stanley Cup finals. {geles star will meet Wilmer Allison of Three of Ohio State university's in- door teams, fencing, polo and swim- ming have a season's dual meet rec- ord unmarked by a defeat. ——— SPORT SLANTS { By ALAN GOULD No one knows the uncertainty of baseball, or the fickleness of its for- tunes better than the veteran Connie Mack, Connie can zecall the dark days when sports writers said the Ath- letics never would get anywhere un- til he quit the management of the club. Three straight pennants are be- hind him, the prospect’of a fourth in succession just ahead, but Mack re- tains quite vividly the recollection of “breaks” that cost his team the chance to win the 1931 world’s series and, thereby, shatter major league precedent, He told the Rotary club of St. Petersburg about it. He xevealed how the Athletics beat Paul Derring- er, the young Cardinal pitching star, by waiting out the curve ball he start- ed off with so successfully and then walloping his fast one. He described how Waite Hoyt, in the fifth game, accidentally put a curve ball in the groove which Pep= per Martin hit into the stands, after the instructions were for Hoyt to pitch only high fast ones to the young outfield star. ONE INNING DEFEAT “We were never more confident than before ‘the seventh and last game,” said Mack. “The Athletics had won the sixth game easily, as you know, and with Earnshaw in the box we had every reason to feel op- timistic. “But we were beaten in the very first inning. High, the first batter, who nearly always hit hard to right or short into left, raised a short fly between Williams and Simmons. I had previously motioned Al to move in but he refused to budge, due per- haps to his uncertainty about the visi- bility and his confidence in his abil- ity to come in better than he could go back. The result was that he missed by a few feet a ball he would otherwise have caught easily. “Then Watkins, the second batter, hit another short fly over toward the third base line. Williams went after it and it looked like an easy’ catch. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks as someone—from the Cardinal bench— yelled “Simmons.’ The ball fell safe. “Let me explain here that if the situation had been reversed and the Cardinals were in the field, our boys would have yelled the same thing from our bench. “But that put two men on and, as you know, the Cardinals scored two runs, one on a ball that got away from Cochrane and the other on a poor throw back to the plate by Foxx after Cockrane had dropped the third strike on Orsatti. You see, we missed four chances to stop any scoring in that inning. “Those two runs gave Grimes the confidence he needed to pitch great ball and also inspired the Cardinals.

By the twelfth round itream of right Bat was so dazed the bout was halted, down to the last inning, when we nearly came through, but we were beaten by a great ball club.” CONNIE SATISFIED “My boys,” as Connie calls them, have done pretty well, however, for three years. + Mack gets his: greatest satisfaction. out of the development of players like Simmons, Grove, Cochrane, Earn- shaw and Foxx. They are the dia- monds in the crown of his retiring years. But the “tall tutor” has no thought of when he may quit baseball. He can think of little else when spring comes around. fs “Why, I can not even take any real interest in my golf now,” he admits. The sincerity of this is clear when it is considered that Mack plays well down in the 80's no the links. His last round was 42-42—84, Burgess (Whitey) Whitehead, star Columbus second baseman, is a Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina, Lynn King, Drake university foot- ball and baseball star, will be with the Des Moines club of the Western league this year.

SOUNDS REASONABLE Indianapolis, Ind—In explaining why he lost control of his taxi and crashed into another car, Charles Angleton, 24, had a good story.
