Rangers Aim At Quitting Hockey Gellar

This is the first of a Canadian Press series on the pro-season tirosuects of tennis in t-he Na- ilonal Hockey- League. ‘Today's stcrv ls about New York Rangers. Tomorrow": Toronto Maple Leafs.

(By Alan Vlckery, Canadian

Press Staff Writer)

WINNiIPEG. Oct. 6—tOP)——New York Rangers have one aim this coining hockey season. and that is it) get out of the cellar of the Na- tional Hockey League. For the last three years the Ciothamites have occupied the trill-end spot- a big coinedowti for the tcam that topped the league in 1942-43. and last W011 the Stanley Cup in 19

40. This monopoly of the bottom

iung has been due largely to loss at their key-men to the services.

Frank Boucher. starting his ;irst full season as Rangers‘ man- rteer. recently said at the train- inz camp here. "we can't go any place but tip. and I intend to get (he Rangers out of the cellar."

Boutlier took over the reins of lhe ailing team last February and soon started to experiment with the club. Former forwards, like Lynn Patrick and Neil and Mac Calville. were moved to defence positions.

Then. with the season drawing to a close. Boucher brought up another "kid line" and a defence- mcin from the Rangers‘ amateur club. New York Rovers. The line -Cal Gardner. Church Russell and Rene Trudell-and the de- lenceman. Hal Laycoe. supplied the spark the Rangers needed. and the team played 50-50 hockey the rest of the season.

It. is on these changes and ex- pei-imen-ts that this year's edition of the Rangers has built a foun- dation for the long climb back to the top of the heap.

Condition. which plays a big part in starting off on the right foot. will not bother the Man- nattans this year as they Weft one of the first NHL. clubs to take to the ice.

“Last veer the team was under- confidant."

S1‘. LOUIS. Oct. 6-(AP>-—'Ibe last time the ball could be seen from the stands it was glistening in the sun and arching down into the crowd deep in the left field

"To this observer the word that Windy Steele will be the playing coach of the new Monctoni hoc- kev team, the Havitks. we hone. was good neu-s. Steele. as We re- member hint. when he was a luriioi- had all the makings of a real hockey player. His career sluice those days has been such that few can take exception. It Ls true he hasn't been a big-time star. He has never flashed across the NHL, horizon as one of those meteoric players who make the headlines with their scoring ability. But Just the same. the same young man got his quota of iioals ln the American League. and as defense player at that. The thing that sticks out is that he has been playing for years under some of the best coaches in the sport. In those years he should have picked up the knack of showing other players ii how it is (lone. For some reason or other the announcement that he will be on hand to take over tends strength to the idea that Mone- ton will have quite ti club in the new Big Five. Incidentally. there may be two Steels in the Monc- ton llneupl;

Il- il-

“Spcaklng of coaches. and how thev are made. reminds that our own Dud James never appeared to be the makings of .a coach. And yet. he turned out to be one of the best the Maritlmes eve!’ had. The quiet Mr. James. who its evervbodv knows. played a very useful game on the front line for the Moncton Hawks. absorbed a lot of the teachings o1’ Percy Nlckitn. And, he had the know how to impart what he knew to the men he coached. He created i), smart young team in Moncton. In Cape Breton he was just as successful, Why can't this Windy Steele be lust as successful."

SAINT JOHN, N B . Oct 6- (CP)—MeAvlty's Worlds of Siint John won the New Brunswick sen- ior softball championship Satur- day by edging Moncton C.N.R. War Vets 5-4 after a previous 12-1 win. Saint John thus qualified to meet the Nova Scotla champions for the Maritime title.

The New York State Athletic Connnlssion cracked down on light- weight champion Lew Jenkins and heavywe ght.

and sen-ding the under-dog Red Birds away in front. Had he whipped that third strike past Tom McBride. Sox right-fielder. the Cards would have won. 2-1.

But McBride slashed a single between shortstop and third to score pinch-runner Don Gutter- idge with the tying run and send the struggle into overtlme. and set the scene for York's titanic smash.

In the eighth the Cardinals had taken the lead 2-1 on a hotly disputed play in which Whitey Ktimwski scored on Joe Garaglo- 121's ilv that Dom DiMaggio mis- iudgccl.

Cilia-taxes Comeback

For big Rudy the blow was the ultimate climax to one of the most spectacular comebacks ever effect- ed by a bliz league veteran. A year ago he was playing a humdrum first for Detroit Tigers 1n an- other World Series.

Many observers said he was through. trashed-up. and it came as something of a surprise during the winter when the Red Sox grabbed him. But Rudv shed 30 pounds 1n the off-season. and went on to play a terrific first base for the Sox all season. To- day he finally and fully repaid Manager Joe Cronin for the faith he had shown in him.

It was onlv by grace of a stray - pebble on the infield that first McBride. and then York. had a chance to spoil a beautifully pitched game by Poliet. who for nine innings matched Tex Hugh- son. rlghlhantded Boston ace. nltch for pitch. and even had some the better of 1t

One was away in the ninth when Pinky Higgins. Sex third smoker. slapped a bouncer to

Marty Marion at short that was labelled a.n easy out. Just as Marty started to grab the bail. 1t struck the pebble and squirted through his legs. Glen Russell. a

pinch-hitter then shot a single in-to centre. but. Pollet whiffed another pinch-hitter. Roy Par-

tee, for the second out. That was when McBride came through with the crucial sock that eventually decided the game.

Johnson h Wlnnhig Pitcher

Earl Johnson. a southpaw. pit- ched the 10th for the Sox and gained credit f0! the victory. Hughson had given up seven safe- ties and struck out. five in his nine-inning stint. Pollet eventual- lv yielded nine safeties. but he was steady and stingy all through the early innings. and he scarcely deserved to lose.

The wildest incident of the game arose in the eighth frame. when the Cards pushed across the run that put them in front. 2-1. ‘They hiid tied it. up in the sixth on a ringing double off the right field wall bv Stan Musial. the Na- tional League's leading slugger.

With two down in the eighth. Kurowskl. Card third baseman. slapped a single into left. bring- ing up Garaglola. rookie Oat-d catcher. who had not hit 1n three previous tries. The crowd yelled for another hitter. but Manager Eddie Dyei- left the youngate 1n.

Garagiols rewarded him with a terrific blow out toward centre field. Dom DlMllleio started in. seemed to lose the ball momen- tarily the sun. and back- oedaied desperately. He just man- aged to get his glove on it. but it bounced away.

Garaitlola easily rounded sec- ond and then dug for third. Kur- owaki, meantime. had rounded third and .lDPQll‘0d certain to score easily. But Higgins. the 50x third-baseman. somehow got in Whitey‘); way. and when Gara- izlolii was thrown out at third on a sharp- relay from DiMaggio to Pesky to Higgins. there was doubt whether Kurowlkl had crossed the plate before the out was made.

Piste umpire Lee Ballmfam of the National League called the run good. bringing a concerted shout of joy from the crowd and an equally concerted roar from Cronin and the Box players. ‘they swarmed around Ballanfmt de- manding a recount. but he shook them off vigorously. and umpire
