Leafs Retain Stanley Cup

TORONTO Maple Leafs reign again as champions of tho

hock world.

Fagi- second consecutive year. George ‘Punch' Imlach has led his Leafs to a Stanley Cup and naturally the folks around

Queen Ci love him for it. me Imlach's tgreat success with Toronto continues and he must be ranked with the great coaches of yesteryear. Imlach surely

more his mark since he took over a Toronto club destined to miss the playoffs in 1959.

The talkative ‘Punch’ apparently has the knack to get through to his players and get the most out of them. He spur- red them to first place in the NHL standings this season With a terrific stretch drive. His boys took only ten games in the playoffs to dispose of Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings. Each series went five games and Toronto didn't lose an encounter before their home fans.

The Leafs did all this without too much help frcnn big Frank Mahovlich. The Big M got only two assists all through the semi-finals and finals and got a lot of bad press copy thrown in. We suppose it's natural when a high salaried player like Mah- ovlich fails to come through for the public and press to start riding him. Frank had just about everybody on his back but Imlach kept him in there to the bitter end.

Keon Was Outstanding

NOBODY will argue that young Dave Keon came out of the show as the greatest hero. He‘s Punch's white-haired boy and that surely isn‘t any wonder.

This great little hockey player appeared to do everything right. He got the big ones when Leafs needed them and in this clincher he fired the first and third goals. He’s a tireless work- er and every team in the league holds him in the highest es in.

Dave rifled home seven goals in playoffs but to hear this young man talk, you’d never know he got a point. He surely doesn’t sound like a guy with a swelled head even though Iinlacli has rated him “the greatest player in the game today."

Keon should have some terrific seasons ahead of him. He's undoubtedly a cinch for The Lady Byng trophy again this year. He already captured the award for the top rookie.

A Tribute To Howe

TORONTO fans paid Howe the tribute of a standing ovation when he came to be interviewed on the ice with Bower. The most loyal Maple Leaf fan couldn‘t do anything else for a guy like Howe. He was the leader of this band of upstart Red Wings who weren't supposed to make the playoffs. Despite the predict- ions of the experts. the Detroiters not only made the playoffs but they battled the Leafs in the finals for the coveted Cup.

All through these semi-finals and finals. Howe was their leader. Indeed this was the case right through the regular 70- game scheduleand he’s a Shoo-in for the most valuable play- er award. Gordie should get that one without a dissenting voice. Any guy who votes against him should have his head examined.

[Abom Balks Being Called

CINCINNATI (AP)—T~he Na- tional League is concerned about the rash of balks called by its umpires in this early part of the 1963 season but it isnt about to push the panic button.

Fred Fleig, secretary of the N-ational League, speaking in

e absence of President War- ren Giles, said Friday he be- lieved the controversy all would work itself out as players and umpires agree that the balk fule means what it says.

It says that a pitcher must to a one-second stop before delivery when there are runners on a runner on base.

Thus far. National League umpires have called 39 balks with 20 of them being called by the umpiring team headed by Augie Donatelli. Those have been none called in the Amer- ican League.

Fleig declined to go into a discussion of any difference in interpretation of rules by the two leagues.

With the Donatelli team as the most frequent caller of balks. Fleig was asked about the (apparent inconsistency.

“There appear: t inconsistency." 1he said. must be considered that other umpire teams may not have had the opportunl to work wi pitchers on whom balks have been called.

"We'll have to wait and see what happens."

Duff's goals, 19 seconds apart, is not a record for the fastest two goals, however. That mark is shared by two Canadiens— Pit Lepine. in 1931 against Chl- cago. and Bernie Georffrion, in 1955 against Detroit who scored two goals each in the space of 12 seconds.

Bower picked up his assist on the first goal of tile opening game between Leafs and Cana- diens at Toronto. He fed the puck to Leaf defenceman Al'zn Stanley, who in turn relayed it to Bob Pulford. the goal scorer.
