They trailed Bostn: Bruins 2-0 yet came back to win that round. To do this had to beat Boston twice on Bruins’ home ice. That im a seven-game set was quite a chore but Leafs were equal to it. We readily admit that Bruins were-not the equal of the Canadiens. But at least Leafs were able to do what practically no one expected them to do. : Now the greatest challenge you could imagine faces the talka- | tive ‘Punch’ Imiach.

* whe wants to bet that he’ can do it can make himself a small

fortune if ‘Punch’ succeeds. Nowhere will you find anyone who gives him a chance. Indeed very few thinkk Toronto can take tonight’s battle, let alone grab two more on top of that.

WE DON’T THINK Imiach will wave any money around, claiming that his wonder boys can yet take the cup. While ‘Punch’ seems to njoy playing the role of the underdog, we believe he

* must be feeling just a shade blue today.

But you can bet your last dollar that the Leafs’ pilot won't tell his boys that he’s a bit downhearted. He’s probably telling “them today that with a break or two Leafs should be leading the series 3-1 instead of trailing by that margin. Chances are he is trying his darnest to persuade his lads that these Canadiens are no difterent than any other hockey club. If ke succeeds in his persuasion those Leafs will not give up without the fiercest kind of a fight.

LEAFS SHOWED weakness on defence Thursday night. Failure to get that dise out of their zone was the big downfall of the Toronto club. They were almost bewildered at times and so were their supporters.

At the other end, we thought Leafs did too much ‘passing once

' they got over the Caradiens’ line. We readily admit Leafs’ shoot-

ing is far from accurate put we think the law of averages should be remembered.: If you keep firing enough rubber in the general direction of the net, it stands to reason that a crtain portion will

_b on the net. Every now and then one will find , its way in

Dick Duff’s overtime tally in the third game proves ‘this.

Leafs kept passing long enough inside the enemy line on Thursday to lose plenty of chances for tries at Plante. They tried several times to make the plays look pretty and ended up ‘by sot getting a chance at the net.

And if you don’t fire. you can’t score goals.

WHAT DO WE THINK about tonight? Have the Leafs a chance of »rolonging the series and bringing the series back to Toronto on Tuesday? me questions we give an emphatic ‘yes’. We are once more and calling the Leafs to win this

the Santa Anita track, and was told to let him step the last eighth. When I looked at the watch after getting off the sulky, it registered 14 seconds!

At Yonkers Raceway, the pic- ture is quite different, because it is a half-mile track. And with its neighbor, Roosevelt Raceway, it can claim to be one of the fastest in the world: But the weather, at this season, is not too favorable for fast times.

Yet last Friday night, Adios Claire, driven by George Phelan, was the winner of the “Jerry The First” feature race, purse $13,475, with the mile in 2.04—the fastest Hirip_of the season for a balf- mile track.

There must be plenty of mon- ey in New York, as the 30,518 fans in attendance wagered §$2,- 293,000.

POPULAR DRIVER

At Rockingham, New Hamp -' shire, half-mile track, the most popular driver is George ‘ Buddy) Reed, of Gorham, Maine, who has 19 trotters and pacers racing there. In 1957, he suffered a-bro- ken ankle and was sidelined for most of the season, but late in the fall he hopped back on the sul kyandndeuewn26spwitih.d. . sulky and ended up with 26 wins.

Last year he competed in 470 races and was 71 times first, 75 times second and 56 times third. He has a vast breeding farm and expects to produce some note- worthy trotters and pacers.

* One of the most successful dri- vers in the United States is Jim- my Cruise, who has been follow- ing the trotters and pacers for quite a number of years and al- ways has a nice hunk of mon- ey at the conclusion of his cam- paigns. For instance, in 1958, he had 82 firsts, 90 secontis and 52 thirds, and won $312,800. Some of the horses he drove were owned by patrons, but quite a number were owned by Jimmy, person

ally. Last fali he picked up a pacer called Royal Pastime, with a re-

$127,392. But last year’s portion of it was only $3,661.

Jimmy paid $500 for him. He was thin and in poor shape, and gave every evidence of never a- gain being able to meet in bat- tle on the turf the kind of com- pany he had associated with in his younger — Care, good feed, nice, easy miles and Mim- my’s skill brought him out this season as an entirely different- looking horse. His lameness was gone, and he would ‘shake his head, grab the bit and show a lot of speed.

A few nights ago he started at Yonkers Raceway, and over a rain-soaked track was a. winner.

Among the drivers racing at Yonkers is Sacher L. Werner, was born in Austria on Decem- ber 8, 198, but moved to the United States after World War Il when the. Communists over- ran that country.

Last year he made 90 starts, was 14 times first, 11 times sec- ond and 10 times third with stable winnings of $23,711.

This year, in conversation with Erwin Grossman of the New York Herald-Tribune, he said he cannot figure out the New York trotting tracks. “You lose, and they boo’, he said. “You win, they still boo’’:

In Europe, where he raced dur- ing World War IJ, fans had a more appropriate way of showing their disapproval. In Marseilles, France, they jumped over the fences and pulled the driver out of his sulky when he missed an odds-on favorite. Werner was the biggest name in Austrain har-

the Charlottetown track, because of the favorable weather and the excellent efforts of the caretaker who can be credited with having, we believe, the best track in the Marit mes at this date.

Between sixty and seventy hor- ses are Being exercised over it every day, and most of them we have seen are in remarkable con- sition, with beautiful, shiny coats, and giving every evidence of careful attention and plenty of ex- ercise. :

It is our purpose, in this col- umn, to give a complete, or near- ly complete, list of the horses stabled there or being worked over the track, and we begin with

head trainer is Don Seaman with Roy Barnett as assistant. Roy pulled a big surprise at Chatham, N.B. last July Ist when he won the $700-Free-For-All Pace with Flagman in 2.06 45 and 2.06 15 —a new track pacing record. The amazing part of it was that he headed that top Maritime pacer,

wire.

Walter, last year, had 19 first, 9 seconds and 5 thirds. A great deal of the credit for that cam- paign is due to his trainer- driver, Roy Creamer, . However, Roy did not drive him. in all his races. In the free-for-all pace, the August 11 opening of Old Home Week for 1958, Flagman, ‘Barnett! was 1-1; Ann's Dream 2-3, Walter Rosecroft 6-2, three other starters, times 2.11 and 2.09. In the freefor-all Trot and Pace on August 15, purse $2,000, Walter Rosecroft ‘Frank Daniels) was 1-1, Flagman ‘Barnett) 2-3, Ann's Dream 4-2, four other star- ters, times 2.08 1-5 and 2.08 1-5.

Maple Leafs ‘Were Robbed! _

TORONTO ‘CP)—Toronto Ma- ple Leafs scored a goal in Thurs- day night’s fourth Stanley. Cup playoff game which was not offi-

cially recorded, the club said Friday. Movies of the game, which

Leafs lost 3-2 to Montreal Cana- diens, showed that winger

through the net behind goalie Jacqces Plante early in the third period.

Club officials said the puck seemed to go through the web- bing of the net and out the other side. They said the same thing happened in a Jeague game this year.

If the goal had been allowed Leafs would have had a 1-0 lead, which followed by centre Billy Harris’ counter a few minutes later, would have made it 2-0 for Toronto.

“I knew that goal was in last night,"’ Leaf general manager Punch Imlach said. “‘The movies show .. . the puck going into the net followed by the bulge where it hit, about one foot of f the ice.”

At the time both Armstrong and linemate Dickie Duff pro- tested but the goal judge would not allow the goal.

games. The fifth game of the best - of - seven series will be played in Montreal tonight.

Imlach said Leafs will . not lodge a protest because ‘‘It’s im- possible to replay the game.”

“That one is gone.”’ 3

When told of the Leafs’ claim in Montreal, coach Toe Blake of Canadiens -was not at all ruffled. He even suspected a gimmick.

“The Leafs, including their ‘seven apostles,” have been try- ing to get every little gimmick going for this series and trying to get us upset,’ said Blake. “we're not upset and I'm not going to get into argument over this. ,

“As far as I know there was no hole in the net. I saw the shot and thought it missed the post. Jacques Plante kicked over and may have hit the side of the net.

“This isn't the first gimmick. There was all that cry$talball stuff by Punch Imiach and then King ‘Clancy ‘Leaf goodwill am- bassador) tried to get something. going about Doug Harvey getting away with stuff.

“We're just not paying any. at- tention to it all. We set out to keep our cup championship and that’s what we're concerned
