DETRDPI‘. April 1—lCP)- De~ troit Red Wings forged into the lead in their semi-final Stanley Cup series with New York Rangers tonight by defeating the Rangers 3-1 and going ahead 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

By coming back to crack New York's two-gone wining streak. the Red Wings moved into pnsi tlon to close out the Rangers by taking the sixth game oi the aei ies Sunday nigh-t in New York. A seventh game if necessary. will be played here next Tuesday.

Detroit's first two goals both came with n. Ranger in the pen ulty box. Tony Licswick, who drew two minor penalties and a 10-min- ute misconduct in the first period for slamming his stick to the icc in disgust at one stage, was serv- ing time for charging Howe wher Kelly scored his first counter.

Bill Juzda was in the cooler in: tripping when Horeck registered in the second.

Rayner, turned back a total of 2B Detroit shots, several o! them l! spectacular style but. the luck that had lieen with him earlier in the playoff set deserted him when he needed it most tonight. Lumiey was required to make only l‘! stops in the Detroit net.

Detroit's victory kept alive the "home ice" aspect of the series. it was the Red Wings’ third wir here while New York won both starts there.

Today the angler in Quebec and east of here who caught trout would be hard to find. The reason? The trout pools that are open are too muddy. The lakes where the trout lurk are still ice covered and legal trout cannot be taken through the ice. Arid the trout- holding streams are running bank- high. That letsthem out too.

Think Negro Rookie Valuable Addition. To Brooklyn Dodgers

By JACK HAND

VEZRO BEACH. Flat, April .1 - (Ap) ._ Leo Durochcr isn't fooling when he says rookie Roy CDITIDBIT- e114 can ihrow as good as any cat- c-lier in baseball.

The Dodger manager had been watching the chunky Negro all spring with Montreal Royals of the International League before he moved hm up to Brooklyn.

Campanell-a comes to me majors without the fanfare that preceded Jackie Robinson's advance from Montreal a year ago. Yet there are many who think he will prove as valuable as Jackie in his freshman year. "He can throw as good as any marl living." said Durocher. "I know he's a good catcher — a great receiver. He pas looked good. The only question is his hitting.”

Last. year at Montreal he hi; in the .280 class, catching most of the games. Campanella is a workhorse Who likes to see action every day.

Durocher isn't the only baseball man high on Campanella. Branch Rickey: Dodger president, rates him with the best. So does Frank Shaughnessy. president of the in- ternational League.

"Cflmpahella, ls the greatest man I ever saw on balls hit around the plate." said Shaughncssy. “I-le is out there on top of them like a cat. Wait until you see him in a fc-y games."

Sport Echoes from ' Prince C0 zinty

Sumimerside High School failed l0 capture the liltersoholastlt‘ championship of Prince Edward Island and they failed on a sheet of ice that was perfectly fit to: the very best hockey. not on a sheet that was more lit for watei polo. so we haven't an alibi o1 any kind to explain why we faiieu to pick the winner this year. Tn- ilmb we were out on simply folded under us without any warning and we fell heavily breaking our re- putatioil as a sports prophet into very small pieces.

The boys were beaten 4 to 8. after leading their rivals 3 to 1 with more than half the third period spent and looking like sill": winners on the night's play. The turning point seems to have been when two of our boys, apparently thinking the hockey match was already won. decided t0 add pug- ilistic victories to their score and were banished along with their sparring mates for five minutes each. On the lace of it, this should have been as hard on West Kent as it was on Summerside High. but actually it didn't turn out that way. There was apparent iy no trio of our boys who OOUid stop the vigorous thrusts of that first-string West Kent line, Glover. Dalziel and Kennedy, and before the exponents of fcints. hooks aild crosses got back into the hockey match the score was tied. From then on the Charlottetown lads lust wouldn't be denied. You could sense victory in the determined dashes they made on the Sum- mersidc goal and it wasn't long before they banged in the on». that gave them the championship. No matter how low your heart had dropped into your boots, yo: couldn't help handing it to those kids for the fierce way they ca: i-led the fight to our boys when they were two goals down and their cause seemed hopeless.

Laysh schurman who put up a really fine game. marred a little perhaps by a tendency to do it all himself. was used so much during the game that he didn't appear u: have the necessary dash left w-heo the critical time hove in sight and there “were only three players out.- side the goalie on each team. Nor~ mally that situation would have been duck soup for Layton. A for ward pass to him by one of his mates and he would have mauc the other necessary manoeuvres to carry him right in on the goalie. but Layshie was obviously con serving his strength at this time and waiting for the opposition to come to him. which they did in no uncertain fashion.

Both Iaysh and Paul schurman did ride in on the goalie in that fatal third period but on each occasion the. West Kent goalie ouiguessed or outlueked them and the red light failed to flash. Both efforts took place before the turn ing point in the game, and a goal for either would have made the West Kent come-back that much difficult later on.

The poke-checking of Reuben Doyle, a greenhorn (and you gotta smile when you say that word in these parts. pardnerl, who hadn: been used much on thc school team. took our eye. Four times we saw his hockey stick g0 out like a rapier and four times he got his man. That should establish the kid's ability to be a disciple of Ottawa's Frank Nightbor in that important phase of hockeys de- fence.

it. was a mighty hard one fm the boys to lose but they took it like true sportsmen. (we were in the dressing room when they filed in and we didn't. hear an alin~
