BOSTON, Dec. 21 —(CP)—Bos- ton Bruins ran their current National Hockey League win streak to four games tonight by beating the third-place Chicago Black Hawks 2-1 to move out

four points in front of their division.

Before 12,000 fans the speedy combination of Cooney Welland

and Charlie Sands gave the Bruins their victory.

Sands scored the first tally late in the second period while the Bruins were playing shorthanded. A sudden sweep out of a. scrim-

mage near the Boston net by Welland paved the way for that success. The second counter

came during the last three min- utes of play, when the Hawks were pressing with five forwards. Sands made the jump on that occasion and, with Welland on his left beat the visitors to their zone. There he passed to the little centre, who fired past goalie Karakas. The Chicago goal came nine sec- onds before the final bell. The Blac/k Hawks, in a last desperate

bid, sent Lou Trudcl inside tlic Boston defence and wliile the rivals were scrimmaging, Paul

Thompson, brother of the Boston

goalie, slapped in a close-up shot.
