DIIIROIT. April 23 - (GP) -- Detroit's surging Red wings to- night won the Stanley Cup by de- feating New York Rangers 4-3 in I. bitter-end game that went into two periods of overtime play.

Pete Babando broke up the marathon game by hanging in a 15-footer near the mid-way point of the second overtime period play- ed before 13.095 fans.

That goal ended 52 minutes and 44 seconds of scoreless hockey as the underdog Rangers battled Red Wings all the way.

The dramatic victory gave Dc- froit the best-oi-seven series, 4-3 and climaxed a three-year quest. which saw them get into the cham- pionship final twice only to I030 out.

Detroit duplicated their scoring effort early in the second period as they slammed in an pair of goals within a 21-second interval while Rangers' Stanley looked on help- lessly from the penalty box.

New York grabb-d the lead again at 11:32 of the second period when Buddy O'Connor sank a four-foot rebound. but Detroit came bark -within five minutes to tie it 3-3 on Jim McF'adden's two-foot rebound

The winning goal came unex- pectedly after a. face-off near the Detroit net. Centre George Gee got control of the puck and passed to Babando who beck-handed s 15- fnotcr that just slipped in the left side of the net as Rayner made is futile try to stop it.

Then the Detroiters, champions of the National Hockey League this season. came to life and tied it up before the second period end- ed

New York moved out in front again 4-3 in the see-saw battle but Detroit came back to tie it up and finally bounced in their fifth and winning goal at the midway point of the period to thrill the crowd oi 12,045.1

It was a tough loss for the New Yorkers who iud a distinct edge in play during the first two periods only to run out of gas in the final period as the terrific Detroit checking took its toll.

In contrast to the dull play that

series, the sixth was a sizzier most of the way.

A New York victory would have given the Rangers the cup but the Detroitrrs fought back with the same despcration that won them their scmi-final round with Toronvto after they were on the brink of de- feat.

Allan Stanley got New York's scoring under way at 3.45 of the first period as he beat Detroit goalie Harry Lumiey with a 12- footer. Dunc Fisher made it a 2-0 game at 7.35 and 5 Stanley Cup championship S8('l'l'lEd within New York's grasp.

Detroit got back into the game in the final minute of the first period when Tod Lindsay deflected a five-footer past Ranger goalie Chuck Rayner to make it 2-1 as the period ended.

Detroit's Joe Carveih drew a hooking penalty at 2:30 of the sec- ond period and it took the Rangers just 48 seconds to score again as Peniti Lund pushed in I. 15-foot screen shot to make it 3-1.

Dterolt broke loose for two goals to knot the score. Sid Abel sinking a 20-footer at 5-38 and Jerry Couture a five-footer at 18:07.

New York broke the deadlock in I hurry as the third period got un- der way. Tony Lcswick blasting in g four-footer that Harry Lumley hardly saw.

Lindsay then put Detroit back on oven terms with his second goal of the night. breaking loose and sailing tlirough three New York defenders to sink an eight- foot angle shot at 4:13.

Detroit moved out in front for the first time as Sid Abel pushed in his own rebound at. 10:34 to give the Wings their 5-4 lead.

The Wings then switched to rugged defensive hockey and turned back everything New York had to offer the rest of the way.

Lumlcy turned in his most bril- liant showing of the season al- though he had only 18 saves in 32 for Rayner.

Both games attracted a total of 11.000 fans-far below previous years in Eastern Canada finals here.

The Quebec champions were giv- en little chance to survive in their two week-end games here in the best-of-seven series after they lost the first three of the series by wide margins.

.The Saints came up with a sur- prising change of form and prac- tically skated and checked Marl- boros off the ice.

In today's game the Saints fell behind one goal early in the first period. but quickly rallied and frunn the five-minute mark took over command of the game.

In Saturday night's game.lthe teams staged a pitched battle with the result in doubt until the final whistle.

Normie McAtce was the hero with his two goals late in the first period bcing enough to carry the Saints through.

The teams return to Toronto for the sixth game Tuesday. Should a. seventh be necessary it will be played back at Montreal Thursday.
