WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) —- Maurice (Rocket) Richard broke up an overtime game Thursday to give Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 win diver Boston Bruins in the fifth game V of the Stanley Cup final. The goal came at 5:45 of the first overtime period and put Canadiens ahead 3-2 in the best- of-seven series. The sixth game It was the end to a torrid battle and the 36-year-old Rocket’s goal sent a sweltering crowd of 14,415 -many in shirt sleeves-into a wild ovation in the steaming hot Montreal Forum.

SPORTS FRONT By PIUS CALLAGHAN The Dodgers and the Giants bit. In their first two games the new home of the=.Giants, the don’t seem to have changed one of the season played at San Francisco, two old rivals went at each other like they were accustomed to do at Flatbush and the Polo Grounds. Opening day the Giants behind Gomez blanked Walter Alston’s crew 8-0, but the shutout only served to enrage the Los Angeles idols who thundered back to overwhelm the men of Bill Rigney 13-1. This time it was Johnny Podres of 1955 World Series fame who hung the year’s first defeat on the San Francisco team. The Dodgers’ win showed at least a couple of things that cer- tainly would gladden the hearts of supporters. Duke Snider belted a’ 400 foot homer and Pee Wee Reese proved he'was not yet too old to slice a pair of singles. This plus Podres’ fine early season showing of strength gives backers of the former Bums something to _ applaud. It‘s true the loss of Roy Campanella jarred the Dodgers and their fans plenty. But Camp wasn't hitting last year so.therefore his absence won’t lessen Los Angeles power. In fact Walker, Rose- boro and whoever else Alston elects to put behind the plate could very easily improve on the batting average of the injured Campy. On the firing line those Dodgers look plenty tough. Drysdale, Podres. Newcombe, Koufax, Craig, Labine are fellows who can be mighty rough. They'll win their share of ball games, make no mistake about that.‘ , Offensively there shouldn’t be too many tears shed for the transplanted Brooks. Hodges, Charlie Neal, Cimoli, Duke Snider, Furillo of the Old Guard can still lay on the wood and they have a reserve of newcomers that could prove to be a most helpful lot. Maybe we are whistling in the dark with these Dodgers but we ,,can’l see how anyone can overlook them when considering real contenders for the National League flag now flying over County Stadium in Milwaukee. We certainly can't. l O *\ Ill 1: Three Prince Edward Island teams travel to Halifax this weekend in an effort to bring the Maritime Volleyball Champion- ship to this Island province. ’ ' The teams are Basilica Youth Club, newly crowned champions of Charlottetown, Y.
