Watson Says Bathgate Isl
The Einstein Ot Hockey
By JOE MacSWEEN
NEW YORK (CP)—Coach Phil Watson of New York Rangers said Wednesday that high-scoring Andy Bathgate is the Einstein of :he ice lanes. '
“That boy -is really clever, his
' IQ. is terrific,” said Phil. bask- ing in a mellow mood as he sur- veyed his team, which is in sec- ond place in the National Hockey League.
“Brains —— yessir,” coach- _
“But maybe that’s a draw-
back,” he added suddenly, stop-
‘iping short.
“Maybe if he wasn’t so, smart I1e’s start e a rl i e r and try harder.’
This gift of Watson’s for seeing
said the
all the angles is apotent reason why. Rangers are doing so ‘nicely in the NHL—their best showing since they won the league cham- pionship in the 1941-42 season. SIZZLING SHOT
Bathgate, the 26-year-old centre from Winnipeg, is credited by Watson with a sizzling shot as hard as -those fired by Charlie Conacher in his heyday.
Bathgate, who was tied for sec- ond place in league individual scoring honors going into Wed- nesday’s game against Boston Bruins, should have “a very fine chance” to emerge the victor in that department, said Watson.
But he credits such players as right winger Andy Hebenton and centre George (Red) Sullivan
with playing a more consistent game throughout the season. SPOTS OPENINGS
.“Bathgate is a master at spot- ting opportunities but he wasn’t giving everything in the early part of the season,” said the coach. “His spree started Feb. 14 and since then hes scored either a goal or an assist in 13 of 14
games. H-e’s after the prize money." The coach figured Rangers
clicked the way they did because the players carried over from last year “really know each toher.”
Also, Rangers were fortunate in avoiding injuries, especially since they played with only 18 regulars compared with the usual 25 or 26 on other teams.
Boston Bruins & Rangers Tie
NEW YORK (AP) —— Boston Bruins kept New York ‘ from clinching second place in’ the Na’.-’ tional Hockey League Wednesday night by earning a 1-1 tie. Bronco
'Horvath’s goal at 17:40 of the
frst period matched one by Andy Heb-enton of the Rangers seven minutes earlier. —
The result left the fourth-place Bruins with an outside chance of catching third-place Detroit and moved the Rangers to within one
point of clinching the runnerup‘
position. A tie or a loss by the Red Wings also would nail down the No. 2 spot for New York. Horvath’s goal, his 29th of the‘ season, came with the Rangers
Hampshire Wins-
Over Winsloe .
At North River rink last night Hampshire Bulldogs defeated Winsloe Heartbreakers 8-4 in the second game of. the Intermediate “B” finals for’ the Prince Ed- ward Island Championship. Hampshire now leads in the ser- ies two games to none.
Hampshire goals were scored by .MacArthur with 1, Vessey with two, E. Campbell with two and Johnston and Doiron with one each. \ v

Abbie ‘Sisters Even Up Series
Last evening at Crapaud rink in the third game. of a best-of- three series for the Island Girls’ ‘ Senior Hockey Title, Abbie’ Sis- ters bounced back “off the floor” so to speak, to win by a score of 4-0 over Tryon Sisters and tie up this exciting series at one game and a tie each.
Last night’s game was closely contested all the way and fea- tured -steady defence work by both teams. Tryon girls played good hockey but just couldn’t get their plays clicking as they did in the previous games. For Ab- bie Sisters, Betty M:a~cLean scor- ed 3 goals assisted in turn. by Sheila Delaneyxon the first two anl Pat Sherry on the third. The other Abbie Sisters goal was’ scored by Sheila Delaney, unas- sisted. »
Referees Johnny Davis and Gordon Wellner handedout five penalties during‘ the game. Alice Gordon of Tryon Sisters picked up three of these and Kay Bar- rett _of_ Abbie Sisters was on the receiving end of the other two.
Next and deciding game of this series will be played on neutral- ice to be arranged by Island Branch A.A.U. of C. officials under whose jurisdiction this series is being conducted.
Special Program At Arena Friday
Last evening officials in charge of the‘ city’s minor hockey pro- gram announced that this Friday evening they plan a special pro- gram for the entertainment of the city’s younger fry. To open the evening two of the leading midget teams in the city—Dar-ts and Vics—come together in a playoff game. These teams are evenly matched and can be count- ed on to give fans, young and old, full value of their admission.

A friend of the Manitoba School boy curlers has written to thank Mr. W. R. Jenkins who acted as host during the week of the Can- adian Schoolboy Championships at the Sports‘Arena in Charlotte- town. ‘
The letter states, this is just a word of thanks for the courtesy and hospitality shown to us in your City and while our lads may not, have risen to Manitoba’s hopes, I am sure the lads learned a lot and enjoyed themselves. I saw some very worthwhile curling while I was ‘down there and I feel I should express my appreciation to you and the other _ workers who made the bonspiel a success.

VANCOUVER (CP) -— Track fans here are looking forward to the prospectof a second miracle mile—and perhaps a mile record with it.
The world’s fastest miler, its youngest four-minute miler and probably its best mil-er are all likely to compete, in the British Columbia Centennial Games June 6-7.
Derek Ibbotson, on the four- may British team, is the fastest. His time of 3257.2 is still being considered as a world’s record.
Nineteen-year-old Herb Elliot of Australia, who has broken four minutes four times, is the young- est to do so. He has been granted permission by the Australian Am- ateur Athletic Union to compete at Vancouver and in two United States meets. »
DELANY RANKED ON TOP
Ron Delany of Eire and Villa- nova University, Olympic 1,500- metre champion, is rated by many as the best miler today. In his 23rd consecutive milevictory last week he set an indoor record of 4:03.4.

PAISLEY, Scotland (CP)~—Can- ada’s world champion Whitby hockey team finished its Europ- ean tour with a 9-5 win over Pais- ley Pirates of the British League here Wednesday night.
Paisley surprised the Whitby champions by snatching the lead in the second minute of the game while W‘hitby’s Harry Sinden was in the penalty box.
But Charlie Burns evened the count almost, immediately. Whitby goalie Roy Edwards was kept busy for the rest of the period but the champions finished ahead 3-2.
They clung to a 4-3 lead at the end of the second period.
Finish
With A 9-5 Win
In the final session Whitby quickly scored two more goals but Paisley hit back with another two.
Then Sid Smith and Frank Bo- nello scored 20 seconds apart and Sinden got the ninth goal a min- ute from the end.
The Whitby scorers were Burns, Bonello, Sinden—-each with two goals—and Smith, Gordie Myles and Bus Gagnon.
The champions’ European rec- ord including the world tourna- ment at Oslo is won 25, lost one- goals scored 289, goals against 38.
The Canadians sail for home from Liverpool Friday.
TORONTO (CP) —- Toronto Maple Leafs won’t make coach Billy Reay a sacrificial goat for their terrible National Hockey League record this season. They have threatened to trade any player except star rookie Frank Mahovlich to get what they want for the 1958-59 campaign. And a coa.c&h’s job usually isn't too secure if his club loses 34 of 66 games. Reay’s fault? No. “We had the wrong line on a lot of hockey players,” acting manager Stafford Smythe said Monday. “Under our old system the shortcomings of a_ lot of play- ers were covened up. We were wrong in thinking we could rely on those players but we had to

“We aren’t contemplating any changes in the coaclfs position at the present time. Of course, a lot could happen between now and the start of next season. Reay is not under contract, so he is free to do what he wants.”
One thing Leafs want next sea- son is o. good farm club in the American Hockey League.
“We'll be happy to operate the club at Rochester with Montreal Canadiens next season but we want it run the same way as last year,” Smythe said. JOINT OPERATION
Leafs and Canadiens have jointly operated Rochester Amer- icans for two seasons. Last term, Hap Day, then last general man- ager, was in charge of the Amer- icans. This season Montreal has been in charge. . .
Leafs were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs during the weekend. It is the first time in the 31-year history of the team that Leafs have failed to make the playoffs in two straight sea» sons. With four games left to play, they are in fifth place with 53 point-s, two more than the last- place Chicago Black Hawks.

S., where they will play the stylish Cape Breton All Stars in the second game of their best-of-three series for the Mari- time Junior Crown and right to advance against Ottawa in the Eastern Canada series.
‘Tested up after the gruelling opening encounter here, Monday ~ night, Abbies are all set to go in Sydney tonight and it is a safe bet that the Jack Kane coached crew will give a good account of themselves. Barring an abund- ance of unforseen breaks of the ‘ game in favour of Sydney to- ,night’s game could quite easily be taken by Abbies——particu1arly if they play the same type of hoc- key they dished up here against both Campbellton and Sydney.
