Then, with their team- mate, Dutch Gainor, serving a ma- jor penalty for accidentally cutting Bill Philips, Murray Murdoch slip- pec a clever pass to Cecil Dillon for the first Ranger goal. Less than three minutes more saw the Rangers leading 3-2 as Frank Boucher took advantage of penalty to Dave Trottier to ring up two quick goals. The third-period was just -as cxciting, 'as the Maroons twice came up to. tie the score. Nels Stewart and Dave Trottier scored ' for Montreal, and Bill Cook for the Rangers. In the middle of the overtime ses- sion, with the Marons apparently playing for a tie, Dillon shot a long pass up to Art Somers diretcly in tront of the Montreal net and, with no defence men to hamper him, Somers puled Goaler Norman Smith out of place and sank the winning tally, The game was fast and cleanly played - throughout and although four goals were scored with play- ers in the penalty box, only seven minors and one major were called. Fine passing on both teams and the goaltending of Smith, who was call- ed on for 43 stops, featured. She: If you try to kiss me, I gLal] scream! He: Not with all these peop about, surely?

Jack Peters, old-time Alaska dough, follows the Klondyke sys- tem, in which "you play 'em when you have em, and at such other times as may confuse your oppon- ent."

Both Peters and Brown deny ever having heard of Culbertson or Lenz and the bridge battle in New York. A "Bridge?" asked Brown. "Oh, sure, I've played on the bridge, but usually the wind was, too strong and we had to go into the captain's cabin." Americans Lost to Canadians penalties in the third period of their game with Canadiens here last night cost the New York Americans undisputed leadership of the Canadian section of the National Hockey - League. The Canadiens pushed a goal behind Roy Worters for a 1 to 0 victory and forced their way into a tie with the New Yorkers at the head of the league. Worters performed almost per- fectly in the New York cage and it was his smart defensive work that robbed the Canadiens of an earlier winning goal on numerous occasions. The Cana- diens put the punch into the game with their ceaseless attack that finally earned them the vic- tory. / Bill Brydge and Convey, the Americans' rookie from New Haven, were both banished in the third period and the Canadiens put their weight into a furious attack. They passed the puck back and forth like a shuttle, and Mondou finally poked the puck past Worters as he was sprawled out on the ice. Morenz, Joliat and Gagnon drew assists on the play.

The Athletics and Senators tiea for first place in team fielding, each with .976, within one per- centuge point of the record made by the Yankees in 1923. The Athletics made only 141 errors, reating a new record, The Sen- ators, with 142 errors, also broke the former mark set by the Yan- keer in 1923. Melillo, St. Louis second base- man, accepted 971 chances and came within 17 of tying the rec- ord made by Napoleon Lajole in 1908. Although three second basemen had higher percentage marks than Melillo, none rivalled his steady, brilliant play through- ont the season. He participated in 118 double plays, 31 more than any other second baseman, Burns, in his first year as a regular, rase to the rank of lead- jng first baseman. Sweeney, Bos- ton and Foxx, Philadelphia, had the same average, .993, as Burns | but neither took part in as many | ames: or handled . as many chances, Oiiver, Red Box centre fielder, ied all outfielders with an aver- age of .993 in 148 games. He ac- cepred 448 chances and made on- ly thrée errors, one more than the record made in 1907.

The ranking is made on a basis of ten points for a first place vote, nine for second and so on down to one for tenth place, Jack Sharkey, Tommy Loughran, , Br- nie Schaaf, Mickey Walker, Young Stribling "and Primo Carnera follow in that order, KINGSTON CURLERS LOSE STAR PLAYER Kingston, Dec. 15.--Kingston curlers have suffered a distinct loss in their active playing mem- bership in the retirement from active participaton in the game of R.
