Sports Dies

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

MONTREAL, April 'I—Fr1nged with dust, ‘a faded fedora hangs in the sports department of the Montreal Star, to be worn no more.

For death has efiaccd from the dim sports picture of another era the familiar figure of "Mr. Span", whose proper name of Peter Span- Jaard was unknown to many through all the ycars he served as sports editor of the Star and the Standard.

A lingering illness claimed the life of Span in his bachelor apart- ment here today. and brought to a close a. colorful newspaper cax- ecr of more than n. half-century.

From Amsterdam. Holland. where Span was born Jan. 9. 1866. he came to Canada as a youth, hard- ly able to speak English. But he mastered the language. along with French, and joined the editorial stuff of the Montreal Star.

Through the Span became known as one of the best sports authorities in Canada. and in his later years. he was one of the oldest. His name seldom appeared in the paper. Stories of the long ago were told in the Standard under the name of “Old Timer." But he wns known every- where they talked of or wrote of sport.

Abbies Win Junior Tilt From Rangers

With nothing at stake and both teams minus several regulars, the game produced little of the Mtlvn contests between these squads v5"- ally furnish. After a scoreless first period the winners jumped’ Into B- three goal lead in the first six min- utes of.the second and from this point on the game llvened up con- stderably.

After Rangers had drawn the score to 4-3 in the first 14 minutes of the final session it appeared they might eke out a win but the two quick Abegweit goals put the game far beyond reach.

Detroit -_ Bound Confident Of Winning Th ree Straight

THE

Rangers

Series

NEW YORK, April 7—As confi- dent a band of athletes as ever went w the hockey wars followed Lester Patrick on to a Detroit- bound train here tonight, intent on winding up the Stanley Cup series in three games.

New York Rangers had every res.- son to be sure of themseyes as they set out for the nest of the Red Wings, for o team never look- ed hotter than the Blueshirts did in swamping the Motor City crew 5-1 in the cup-final opener here last night. It was the first. straight tri- umph for the Patrick puckmen in the title playdowns and their rally- ing cry was “seven straight or burst."

There were no serious player- inJurles to wrinkle the Patrick brow. Ott Heller wore a square inch of adhesive tape on the centre of his cranium. covering a. cut opened when he was clipped by the stick of team-mate Lynn Patriokourlng a scrimmage last night. Big Joe Cooper had a long bruise on his side, memento of a jarring check into the boards. Otherwise. there wasn't a scratch in the cal-load of happy hockeymen.

By way of explaining the trans- formation of a Ranger team that was hot and cold during the reg- ular season into one that has torn through the payoffs like a. jugger- naut, Frankie Boucher said that in all his years under the big top it was the first time he had ever seen a team clicking at top form from the goal mouth out.

“Often two or three men are ‘hot’ and that is usually enough to make a team a. winning one," the veteran centre-km star said. “Right now every man on our club is reci hot and 1 don't see how anything can stop us.”

RED WINGS CONFIDENT

DETROIT, April '1—The injury- ridden Red Wings of Detroit, one game down to New York's Rangers in the five-game Stanley Cup ser- ies, came home today with a feel-l ing that “we'll pull out of thel ho1e.” _

To retain the cup and the worldl hockey championship they won last year, the Wings must stop the in- spired rush of the “hot" Ranger team and win three games here before Lester Patrick's young men get two more victories,‘

The Wings think they‘ll do it. They have pulled outcf tight places before, most recently at Montreal ln the championship playoffs when after dropping two decisions to the Canadiens following goalie Norm Smith's injury, they came back to win the overtime deciding game. "The tension ls gone," big Marty.

Barry. Detroit centre, told Man- ager Jack Adams tonight after the. Red Wings left their train andi gathered on the home ice. “All the‘ other fellows feel the same way." l

Adams agreed. “We'll show them a trick or two yet," he said. "The team that beat the Canadiens is

Dunstaffnage Team Wins Rural Title

The Dunstaffnage hockey team, tramping six macs over muddy roaos and then playing an entire game with but six players last 1118M captured the rural championship of the Island when they sent the Cross Roads Bulldogs 110W" W 5- smashing 6-1 defeat in the sudden death game played at the F011“?!-

After a scoreless first period Dunstaffnage jumped to the from to stay in the middle canto as they pumped three goals into tho CYO$ Roads cage and then wound up a fine evening's work by slamminK three more tallies home ln the windup session while the losers were notching their orphan tally.

The game was fast and rugged throughout with the winners show- ing a dlntinct edge over their hard- working rivals. Dunstaffnage de- serves worlds of credit for their showing last night not only _on their victory but ln overcoming what would appear to many to be unsurmountable odds. It takes courage and stamina of the high- est order-for six players to walk seven miles for a game of hockey and when they finally do arrive plav sixty minutes of hard hockey.

L. Walfelln led the scorers with three goals to his credit whilc G. Wakelin had two and E. Wakelin one which summed up made it a Wakelin night in the scoring. Bald- erson, fast defenceman for the Bull Dogs scored Cross Road's only tally.

Petenson. In view of the many up- sets which occurred in this round the followers of the game are wondering what will happen in tho next round of the toumiiment.

The result of the draw is as fol- lows:

C. McKenna plays W. Pineau.

R. Bevan plays H. Redmond.

w. Phillips plays J. Williams.

A. Peterson plays S. Ryan.

Calgary Scene Of Allan Cup Play Tonight

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

CALGARY. April ‘I-North Battleford Beavers, Western Can- ada senior hockey champions. will ice a squad with an attack among the most potent ever produced in the West when they meet Sudbury Tigers. eaytem representatives. here tomorrow night 1J1 the first. game of the best-of-five Allan Cup finals.

In comparison with Sudburys all-star cast plucked from widely separated parts of the Dominion. the North Battleford outfit is com- posed of players wholearnedtheir hockey in Saskatchewan. Five of the players hail from Moose Jaw. Almost every man is a standout in hi" position.

The finely-tempered first-string line of Burke-Duchak-Shilllngton who finished one-two-three in the Northem Saskatchewan League scoring lists continued their fine work in the playoffs.

The heavy defence features Vic Myles, a fast rusher. playmaker and puck clearer. and Walter McIntyre, a great blocker and bruising body- checker.

Description of goalie Ken Davis’ play as “sensation-al" is not an ex- aggeration. _

Coach Reg Stuart, who brought Halifax Wolverines to the top of amateur hockey with an Allan Cup championship in 1934-35, has moulded another team of champ- ionship calibre in Sudbury Tigers.

Known as Frood Mines in the Northern Ontario Hockey Associa- tion. the team went through the season with only one defeat. and in subsequent piaydowns they have won all bllt one game. Most of the wins have been by substantial mar- gins.

Don Groaso. powerful forward, is the sharpshooter of the squad. but there is strength in every depart- ment. Goalie Teno is one of the best in the country. '

Stuart has two former Wolver- llles on his roster. Frankie Lavigne and Frank Graham, but it is hard- ly likely Lavigne will see action. An injury he suffered in the series

with Toronto Dominions has kept

him on the sidelines.
