Maroons by 2 Defeat Montreal, April 10.--A 2 to 0 victory over the New York Rangers here tonight in the third game of the 1928 Stanley Cup series gave the Montreal Maroons a lead of two games to one on the series and an excellent chance to cop the premier world hockey honors, as they now have to win only one of a possible two remaining contests. The game was packed with ac- tion throughout, and was by far the best of the series so far. There was scarcely a dull moment in the 60 minutes of play, which saw the winners display superior hockey throughout. A feature of the pep- pery game was a fistic display stag- ed by two substitutes--Lamb, of the Maroons, and Thompson, of the Rangers--in the third period, for which both participants drew match penalties, The teams were, therefore, forced to play the ve- maining fifteen minutes of the last period with only five men apiece, while both Lamb and Thompson are automatically suspended for the next game Thursday night. It was a tough hand-to-hand combat while it lasted. Referee Rodden attempt- ed to separate the pair at the out- set, but was dragged to the ice with the battling pair before they were finally separated. Miller Stars for Rangers The Rangers had Joe Miller, for- mer New York American and Ni- agara Falls goalie, in the net in place of Lorne Chabot, who was se- riously injured in last Saturady's game. It was no fault of Miller's that the Rangers lost, The former Ottawa amateur star played a mag- nificent game hetween the Ranger nets, and had it not heen for his LR SPOR1 SNAPSHOT S The baseball season in the major leagues was officially opened yes- terday with one game in the American League in which the tail enders of last year, the Boston Red Sox, who are almost unanimous choices for the same position this year, took the measure of the Senators. Washington went to the first game in many years without the veteran Walter Johnson on the mound, who is now sick, but will perform in the International this year, Today the Yankees "and Philadelphia and the Pirates at St. Louis opening games will draw large crowds, but there is also sure to be a mob at the Polo Grounds, the domicile of the New York Giants, who will entertain the Boston Braves. The main interest at that game will be to get a line on the most discussed trade m baseball history which sent Hornsby from the Giants to the Braves. Andy Cohen, last year with Buffalo, who led the league in hitting and who has been showing real promise in the s be closely watched. It seems to be unanimously agreed that much of the Giants' success will Jepend on the same Andy, who will endeavor to fill Hornsby's shoes. e lives up to his promise in the International at all, he will do. Hornby should add much to the Braves. The Yan- kees and the Pirates again appear to be the two strongest clubs in their respective leagues, the Yanks although they have lost most of their spring games, still have the greatest infield in baseball, and one of the greatest outfields. On their pitchers, who are for the most part vet- erans, depends the success of their 1928 season. The Pirates with the Waner Brothers, who now number three instead of two, are expected to be well up in front when the season ends, ' The Cubs and the Giants should given them competition, The Chicago Cubs made a much better showing than the fans gave them credit for last year, and with an outfield composed of three hard hitting and fast players as Cuyler, Stephenson and "Hack" Wilson, one of the best pitchers in the ma- jors, who won over twenty games last year, Root, and the starry Gabby Hartnett behind the plate, should give the rest of the league plenty of trouble. To digress--Merwin "Jake" Jacobson has signed with the Leafs, And we still maintain that we think he will receive what he was ask- ing from the Leafs management. Dead silence reigns in this regard, however, "Dave" Trottier, the most brilliant of the Grads, seems most likely and has scemed the most likely, of any of the Grads to sign up with one of the teams playing "the fastest game in the world" Montreal and Toronto have claimed him, now Ottawa issues a report that Trot- tier will be seen in a Senator uniform. It is a case where "the wish is a father to the hope" we guess, but the N.H.L.. moguls have decided that Toronto or Ottawa have prior claims on the star winger. If To- rontd has the price, and no doubt they have, they are passing up what would prove to be the biggest ten strike in their history by paying almost. any amount to land "debonair Dave," who, unless we miss an- other guess, will prove about as much an attractien and drawing card as the flashy Morenz. Hugh Plaxton, the giant centre with the ter- rific shot, would make a great "catch" for any team, and "Red" Porter whose dashing style always wins favor, would also be a real drawing card, The latter two are not likely at this stage to make the jump, spring training fixtures, will Ma es ajor ks ction New York, April 10--The, great American baseball jamboree, With all its, accompanying fanfare and flag- raising, cheers and jeers, base hits and fumbles, bursts out tomorrow along the entire major league front, after a preliminary flourish in Wash- ton. ith more cheerful weather than that which marked the opening game and ceremonies in the nation's capi- tal, fandom may turn out in excess of 250,000 for the eight inaugural affairs tomorrow afternoon and shat- ter all major league records, It will be attracted by curiosity, in the American League, to see whether it's all true about the Yankees slipping of Whether, the other clubs have a chance, and in the National Toa bY interest in the start of the great- est free-for-all that ancient circuit has ever had in prospect. he biggest jam is expected at the Polo Grounds, where close to 65,000 may turn out to see Rogers Hornsby lead the Boston Braves into the den of the New York Giants and test the results of the greatest trade of the off-season. Rival Contenders Clash Chief interest, however, will focus upon the battles that bring together in each league the two clubs gener- ally picked to stage the main go of the pennant campaigns. In these the Pittsburg Pirates, National League champions, will invade the grounds of their powerful rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, while the world's champion New York Yankees pry off the lid with the colorful Athleties at Phila- delphia, Thus the ciubs that finish- ed one-two in each race last season have a chance to swap punches with- out preliminary. The last-minute scrambling of the dope has not shaken up the pennant prospects except, perhaps, to ballyhoo the idea that the Chicago Cubs will spring an upset in the National Lea- gue. The Pirates and Cardinals stand as twin favorites, with the Bucs leading in the dope, If the Cubs don't spring a surprise the Giants may. Then there are the Braves, Reds and Robins, all eager, anxiou mess with Trottier, TROTTIER NOT YET SIGNED BY OTTAWA Ottawa, Ont., April 10.--Dave Trottier, brilliant member of 'the Toronto Grads hockey team, has not signed a Senator contract yet, officials of the Ottawa Hockey As- sociation stated tomight. It. was admitted that the club had been negotiating with the Toronto play- er and.that terms agreeable to both might yet be reached, but that Trottier was the only player in which the club was interestea.

The largest crowd of witnessed the game and the Maroons play their best hockey of the series. The Rangers played good enough hockey to win any ordin- ary game, but the Montrealers were too good tonight. At thar, the Montreal net had many close calls from Boucher and the Cook brothers, but Benedict was in top form and turned everything aside. "The Patrick hrothers, Frank, of Vancouver, and Lester, manager of the New York Rangers, at present competing against the Montreal Maroons in the Stanley Cup finals, may operate a team in the Na- tional Hockey League next season. A proposition has heen under con- sideration by the Patricks, whieh has to do with the proposed sale of the Pittshurg franchise and team and its possible transfer to Cleveland next season. "According to the present plan, responsible interests in Cleveland are prepared to proceed with the construction of an arena in that city which will compare with the best on the National Hockey League circuit. In turn, they want some group to take over the hockey end of affairs, running 2n N. H. L. team in Cleveland and leasing the rink for hockey purposes: "Lester Patrick admitted today that such a plan had been present- ed to his father, his brother Frank and himself at a conference recent- ly in Chicago. However, he adds that nothing definite has been de- cided in the matter, the proposi- tion having been put up to them just, as he believes, it might be placed before other parties who might be interested: "It is known that Frank Patrick has been working to revive pro hockey on the Pacific Coast and that definite steps have been made in a move to establish a four-club circuit next season with Vancouver, Seattle, Victoria and Portland re- presented for a start. "Rumors are prevalent that, if the Patricks do take over the Pitts- burg franchise and team apd oper- ate in Cleveland next seasom as an N. H. L. club, Frank Carroll, at present manager of the Springfield team, Rangers' Farm Club in the Canadian-American minor loop, will handle the Rangers next Win- ter." at the serles saw R.LCY.L.

Rick- ard can promote his title jam- horee hetween Gene Tunney and Tom Heeney here in July or any time he wants to. Although the promoter has failed to name initely as the site for the cham- pion's 1928 title defence, the com- missioners announced that Tex has only to submit the signed con- tracts of the principals to gain approval for the mateh. Fur- thermore, the bar of a $27.50 top price for tickets such as helped send Tunney's fight with Jack Dempsey to Chicago last Fall, will not again be raised. Price fixing by the commission has been declared illegal, Al- though the board still believes it has that power under a state law permitting it to act in any way "for the good of the game," there will be no contest of the ju- dicial ruling. Rickard charged a $40 "top" at Chicago and prob- ably will ix the same figure here. The belief of the commission that Tunney will defend his title here against the burly blacksmith from "down under" rather than in London, as Rickard first hinted, was obvious from their ruling. Chairman James A, Fairley, who was chosen today to head the commission for another year, de- clared Tunpey's formal accep- tance of Heeney as a challenger had entered the titleholder's econ- troversy with the commission. The most likely date for the bout seems to be July 26 at the Yankee stadium. The commission took a hand in the efforts to force Ace Hudkins to sign for a title mateh with Joe Dundee welterweight champion, early this summer. The commission announced that at the request of Jess McMahon, match maker at Madison Square Garden, it had given Hudkins ten days in which Noting 2) Worse Than hing Back B. C.
