NEW YORK, March 22%ome of the biggest question marks of base- ball hang over the heads of estab- lished stars whose status. because of‘ past injuries or advancing age has become doubtful.

Starting with the world cham- pion Tigers, the status of at. least three front tankers is somewhat ugcxlertain. Goose Goslln. the vet- e outfielder, did quite well by himself and his team last season but at 35 he may have trouble lding the pace. Another veteran. “€eneral" Al Crowder, has done

1e hurling this spring but there's nq indication he won't be ready wiien the season starts. The Bengals also have to face the ques- tlolt-of whether or not Al Simmons wilf return to his Philadelphia hit- ting form and thus Justify the out- lay of $75,000.

The Yankees. Red Box and In- dium, regarded as Detroit's leading rivals, all have their big ifs. At New york it's mostly whether Tony

The Bulldogs of Cross Roads lived up to their name Saturday night. Entering the contest trailing in games 2-1 they scored their sec- ond straight shutout as they blank- ed the Foxes 2-0. Early ln the first period. Alf MacNelll, the hero of their comeback sent his (cam into a. 1-0 lead as he found the net with a hard drive after Stewart and Molyncaux had made the opening for the play.

OTTAWA, March z2—-Moncton Maroons, a fighting gang of light- welghts from the lllarltlmes. drop- ped the first game of the Allan Cup playdown series with Brock- vllle Magedomos here last night 6-3. The second game will be played here Monday.

It. was the old story of s good little team against a good big team. The Maritime title-holders could not. match speed, weight or exper- ience with the Ottawa Volley chom- plons but they stayed in there fighting until the final whistle.

Brockville ran up B. 4-0 lead in the first. period. The MBIOOHS be- ban to click in the second and third periods but they could not overcome that big handicap.

Pacing the Moncton attack was

who patrols right wing on the first line. He figured in each Moncton goal. passing twice t0 Len Leblanc and once lo Bob Malenfsnt, the 16- year-old centre player.

Buzz Barton played a standout game in the nets for the Maritim- ers. time after time saving goals when the fast-passing Brockvllle forwards swarmed through his de- fence.

Brockvllle outplayed the Mari- tlmers in every department oftbo game and if the form of the Mar- oons may be judged. from the first game it seems likely the Allsn Cup which has gone down cast three years in s row, will be captured this year by a team from Quebec. On- tario or the West.

The Magedonws had everything their own way in the first period. rattling in four goals, two by Red Ryan and singles by Gordy Lowery and Dave Dexter.

The Maroon; began to go places in the second period with Malen- fi-mt and l-cn Leblanc posting goals, both on assists from Carroll. Brock- vllle replied with o single-handed effort by J.-Jo Graboski.

The teflms split even ln the final period, Dexter getting his second goal of the night for Brockville and Len lleblonc Again beating Tice in the dying seconds of the game when Msroons had a one-mm ud- vantlge.

eyed centre who ~had a, tryout two yam-s ago with Chlcll-QO Blink Hawks, took the individual honors for the night. Time after time he split the Maroon defence only to be robbed by Barton or have a wlngman smother him before he could shoot.

The Brookvlllc defence of B111 slum-y, Verdell Price and Dexter outplayed the Maroon back division. using their big weight advantage to good effect.

Although they were kept of! the score sheet. the " ‘ mosquito line of Gculd-Appleby-Bobe Leblanc buzzed around the Brockville nets and gave Tice many anxious mo- merits. Only tough luck on shoot- ing when close to the nets kept them scoreless.

Tommy German's well-balanced squad made sure of first place in the National Hockey league's Canadian section with a. sparkling 3-1 win over Chicago Block Hawks before 1,500 fans lost night, dropping Chicago into third place in the United States sections l

While Maloons made ready w. open their three-of-rlve series on Tuesday here with Detroit Red Wings for the National League championship. Chicago entrained tonight for New York to meet Red Duttorfs Americans in the openin! game of their two-some. total- gcol, series between the league's third place clubs.

The close-checking but speedy battle was in doubt up to the aeo- oud last minute when Russ Bllnco broke away from a Chicago gang attackto give Mhroons I. two- gool margin. Chicago scored first (early in the second period, with lJohnny Gottsellg rifllng home a. three-footer from Glen Brydsonls p555:

Then came Maroon: desperate attack when for l0 minutes Chic- ago barely got the puck outside "their ovm blue line. Karoku saved seemingly suzc shots but finally at the 18-minute mark Northcott got his stick to a short shot by Hooley Smith at the edit of the crease to tic the count with o low flip.

' Still the attack poured in and Bob Gracie and Herb Coin sent Gus Marker around the left side for a knee-high shot that steam- ed past Karakas lntn i110 corner. ‘There were 52 seconds to go in the period when Marker clicked on the

whining shot.

All through the third period Chicago fought bitterly to equal- ize and keep their chance of get- ting into second place. But their drives, led by Earl Seibert, wash- ed up on a tixht defence.
