Leafs Make Changes For Fourth Game

By JACK CALDER Canadian Press Stall Writer

‘IORIONTU. ADE-l l2—Ebu1l.ient "m!" 5- RAN. who can and will pronounce on Just about anything in hockey. made a couple of pro- nouncements tonight upon Arthur H. Ross and his immediate future as Manager of Boston Bruins, the National League champions.

The ﬁrst went: “I am going to bed early tonight and I will sleep now that the Bruins are on the way to the Stanley Cup."

The second: "1 am lelwthg be- hind my bench d/uties this season. From now 0n I will dc my Job from the from, oﬂlce."

This was the frame of mind oi Art Ross as his great. Boston club —-the one he has called greatest team I have seen in my 3'! years of hockeW-stood one game up on Toronto Ma le Leafs n the Stanley Cup ser es. The general idles. seemed to be that he believed the Bruins, after taking two oi the ﬁrst three games in the best-oi-severl round, weren't. going to cause him much more worry.

Ross wouldn't enlarge on his declaration that he wlll retire from his bench duties next sea- son. He wouldn't say who might succeed him. He might have said Cooney Welland has been doing a good deal of the aictlve team dir- ecting this term and might beﬁrst in line for the bench position. But he d-idrllt.

The Maple Leafs were planning ways and means of overcoming last night's faults and ﬁlling the gap left by the injury to Harvey Jack- son. Playing one of his best games

checked hard by Eddie Shore, just before the Bruins started to pour in goals.

After watching s. group of farm- hands in action, Manager Conny Bmythe decided to replace Jackson with Robert (Rﬁd) Heron, a pret- ty ialr sniper from the Syracuse farm team. He benched Pete Langell-s, midget rookie cent-reman, and added to the lineup Don Metz, an amateur until ‘gsterday.

Says New Rules Slowing Down Hoop Game

MONTREAL, Apr. 17-((7P)—Ne‘W rules being introduced into bask- etball "are slowing down the game." Dr. James Naismlth. Can- adian-bom clergyman, dcotor and physical education instructor who inven‘ed the game, sea‘) today.

At the some time. he told a gathering of basketball enthusiasts the game, as played in Canada,

d comes nearer the ideal he had in

mind when he originated it at Springﬁeld, Mass, in 1891, than that played at present in the Un- ited States.

Dr. Naisnlith. native oi Almonte.

Ont, said he didn't like new rules that have been introduced in re- cent years. “They are slowing down the game and rursnlng counter tcnear- ly every principle we laid down in those early days," he said. "Now- adays, just because s rule is new it is thought that it must be good and old rules are sneered at. From what I have heard in this country you people are playing the game more nearly as it should be play- ad.

‘There were four main princi- ples to the game. as he planned it, desgned to eliminate roughness as far as possible. These were: No rogress with the ball while it. is gr a player's possesion; horlsontal goats to eliminate difficult goal shooting; the ball was any man's ball while in play to encourage fast movement; and no bodily contact by checking and cross-

checking. In the United States, he said. there had mlnly inirlnﬂl‘

been ments oi these fundamental rules.

Farr Favored To VWn Bout

(By The Associated Press)

IONDON, Apr. lit-Tommy Farr, back home and hungry again, was the 4 to 5 favorite today to beat Red Burman oi the United States in their lﬂ-round ﬁght at Harrin- gay tomorrow night.

The experts have decided Tommy will win because. as they explain, Bur-man's New, York victory over the Watchman was due to peculi- arities of the American ring. Bur- man cutpointed Farr in a closely fought 111-rounder in Madison Square Garden last January.

A crowd of 18.000 is expected to nay around £10,000 (almost $50,- 000) to see Fan's come/back in the English ring after losing his five Jtalfis in the United States.
