Slaughter Deal llas Fans Buzzing On Eve Of Big League Season Opening

_ By JACK I-[AND

NEW YORK, (AP)—-The Enos Slaughter story still had baseball farts buzzing as the major leagues pr!-‘pared to ripen the season todayi with a full eight-griine schedule| expected to draw about 215,000 fans. 1

Long ago Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees were firmly established as pennant favorites; but the trade of Slaughter from‘ St. Louis Carclznals to the Yankst Sunday awrd mice to the conver-: nation.

But. manager Casey Stengel indi- rated Monday he would cite the "t'nllI‘llt‘\' bov” plenty of action in rizht-field as I regular or a two- platoon man uitli Hank Bauer. .

The Yanks’ sorry spring train-,‘ in: record t14-I9), worts in the: American League, indicates they‘ do need help altiitiiicii the expcrtst pmk them to repeat. and the bet- rvs make them an even-intiney ‘hoice.

MONTREAL, (Cl-")—Coach Dick Irvin of Montreal Canadlens, known in the National Hockey League as a past master at putting the unexpected during playoffs, has done it again.

with his Canadians facing elim- ination in the Stanley Cup play. offs with Detroit, Irvin made a couple of last-minute changes in his lineup Sunday and came up with a winning combination. With the best-of-seven series now standing at 3-2 for Detroit. the teams meet again tonight. in Montreal. A seventh game, it he- CCSSRFY. W111 be played in Detroit Friday.

Things looked black for I time Sunday night. when the cup-de- fending flying Frenchmen went through regulation time unable to break a scoreless deadlock.

Then came the sudden death overtime and a goal by Ken Mos- dell to pull the Habs back into contention.

It wasn't. all Mosdell though. A large pztrf. of the credit went to goalie Gerry McNeil. sent. into the nets to replace a wavering Jacq- ues Plante.

Use of McNeil was a. gamble by Irvin.

McNeil hadin't played in I regu- lar game since Feb. ll when he suffered an ankle injury in Chi- cago.

Plante went like in house on fire for a while but didn't look partic- ularly good on several shots in the last two games Canadians dropped at home.

Irvin, after making a couple of line shifts in order to pep up his scoring power, decided on a real shake-up. McNeil went in and Plante came out. Garye Stewart, with Buffalo all season and a standby for Canadians during the playoffs, was called in to take over a wing position. He fitted in well.

Mosdell'a winning goal came un- expectedly. He started slowly from his own blue line. gathered speed and swung to the left. spun A- round the defence and let fly with a backhander from 20 feet out.
