MONTREAL. nee. 29—~The hat- lling Bruins of Boston were a long stride forward tonight in their drive to catch the leaders of the United States section by winning a 6-3 de- cision over Montreal Maroons in a scrappy National Hockey League game here last night that saw Mar. cons lcse ground to Toronto, first place holders in the Canadian sec- tion. _

Three fnst and clever Boston breakaway Dial‘! in the third per- iod for goals by Cooney Weiland, Charlie Sands and Bill Cowley spelled victory for Boston in n ganlc that always threatened to develop into a frvc-fcr-all and was only kcpt 1n. check by 16 penalties including two 10-minute bnnishments.

Beaten three times in the first period, by Hooley Smith and Rug Bllnco. who scored tw‘ce, goalie Tiny Thompson played shutout hockey for two periods of torrid Montreal attacks to earn major honors in one of the fastest games here this year. Thompson reached heights while a weakened Boston defence. with Babe Slebert off m: 10 minutes. let Maroons crowd in on him for almost certain goals.

The game had drama on and off the ice. In the second period two referees’ decisions went against Maroons. once when a. Boston goal was allowed over the decision of the goal judge and again when Maroons netted the puck but a goal was not allowed due to interference.

In the interval an angry crowd milled around the omclals’ room in protest. A short lived fight broke out in which an usher lost a tooth and referee Bill Stewart offered to take on the dlspulants one by one. A stalwart band o: police took con- trol uf the situation. The referees were escorted from the rink by pol- ice at the end of the game for pro- tcction.

The tvfng goal in the second per- iod. by Paul Runge, struck the left side and rebounded. The goal judge

-rulcd it had hit the post and did

not tum on his light but referee Billy Bell, who was on top of the play’. saw it as striking inside the post and centred the puck.

Boston's first goal in the third period came while Teddy Graham was off. Clapper broke fast and sent the puck across to Welland. With no Maroon close to him the little centre raced in to beat Billy Beveridge on a rising shot.

Then Bcstonscorcd during a per- iod of five-man hockey while Smith and Jenkins were ofi’. Sands and Runge worked the puck into a. po- sition for Sands to rifle lt home. After the visitors weathered a storm with Siebcrt and Max Kam- frisky oil‘ together for tripping the final goal was scored by Cowley cn a play with Jenkins who shot and Cowley lifted home the rebound.

Just before. the game ended Stew Evans boarded Cowley heavily. He fell with o. sickening thud and was aided from the rink. Later 1t was reported the young centre had

strained his’ shoulder and been shaken up. TIDE LINEUPS Boston Montreal ‘ Goal Thompson Beveridge Defence i - Siebert Wentworth Jenkins Evans Centre . Welland Smith Wings

"But for tins. I'd still bc over there," the Canadian fighter as sorted. "I never hope to meet a finer bunch of sportsmen.

NEW Yvi-tK, D-"u. ESL-Jae L. 715. th-i un Ilrrled puncner from ‘)6- trolt whose unbroken series of triumphs in 193:1 lifted boxing from the depths, ivac placed at the head of the world's heavy- weight list today in the annual rankings published by “The Ring" boxing magazine.

Louis not only was rated above Champion Jimmy Braddock but

was given credit for a large share of the year's outstanding pcr- . iormanccs as well as for providing the impetus that put the sport back on a "big time" basis i

Only one champion other than- Braddock failed towin top rank-, lng in the selections made by Nat,‘ Fleischer and Eddie Borden, cdit-; ors of the “The Ring," on the '1 basis of a poll to which 131 sports writers contributed. Small Mon- tana, Filipino flyweight who won the title from Midget Wolgast, was placed second to Benny Lynch of Scotland in his class although the two were grouped together at the top on the ranking.

In their respective classes ,the Canadians Jimmy McLarnin. Frank Battagiia and Al McCoy are ranked in group two.

The ratings separates the boxers on various divisions into groups then lists them within these groups in the order of their comparative rankings. The performers in each group are rated close together in ability and in many cases as be- ing equal.

Cowley Scores Goal Against Red Wings; Amerks Down Canucks

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

DETROIT. Dec. 29-—loston's improved Bruins defeated Detroit Red Wings 4-! here tonight be- fore 10.000 fans. Bill Cowley, form- er Hallfax Wolverine scored an overtime-period goal to decide the fast National ‘ Hockey League game.

The tussle was a thrilling ex- hibition of wide-open hockey. The Bruins gave Manager Jack Adams no need to repeat his complaint of last week that most teams play- ed defensive hockey here. Frank Patrick's Boston band went at it fire and tongs and the Detroit skaters answeled them in kind.

The winning goal play was started by Peg O'Neil, who raced down right wing and passed ac- croes to Cowley. When Cowley, a. young Ottawan, beat. goalie Norm Smith cleanly he made it a gala night for players from the Canad- ian capital. Two of Detroit's earlier goals were supplied by Ottawans, Ebble Goodfellow and chubby Hec Kllrea.

‘Boston's first line of Welland. Clapper and Beattle were respon- aible for the first three Bruin counters. Clapper opened the scoring in the first period. with Barry tying the score in the sec- nnd only to have Welland put Boston out in front again. Clapper bagged his second goal early in the third stanza, with the elder Kllrea and Goodfellow then scor- ing to prolong the game.

Lewis and Graham drew maj- ors for tradlnga few harmless. punches in the opening period.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29—-(A.P.)—- New York Americans went lnto a tie for second place in the Inter- national division of the National Hockey League tonight when they downed the hapless Montreal Can- adiens 5-1 on the ice of Madison square Garden. ,

A gathering of 12,000 saw the fast-passing Amerks penetrate the Ion experienced Canudiens‘ de- fences almost at will. The flying ‘Frenchmen were guilty of numer- ous offsides and time and again. when they sent five men up the ice. an American player skated away with the puck.

Art Chapman opened the scor- ing for the Americans after a. combination play with Sweeney Schrlner and Red Dutton at 14:15 of the first period. In the second period Americans scored t\vo more. by Dutton and Hal Cotton. but Canadiens managed to sandwich one in between when Pete Lepine advanced the disc into scoring territory and then passed to Le- roy Ooldsworthy for the visitors only tally.

The third period was something of a parade for the Americml. After some listless playing in the early stages when they seemed to be willing to hang back on their lead. Joe Jcrwa passed to Schrincr in mid ice and the latter outraccd the entire Canadians team which was on the attack at the time. and whlatled one in shoulder high. ‘The same play was ra-cnected a short time later with Nels Stewart
