Great are the Toronto Leafs onto, Dec, 23--Presented with the SPpoFtuIey of going into the leadership of the Canadian section of. the National Hockey League for the third time in eight nights, the Maple Leafs made no mistake last evening against the Amazing Amerks and they literally swamped the hitherto pace-setters by 9 to 3 in the heaviest scoring game of the se@on, To make the evening com- plete the New York Rangers helped out the locals by turning back the Canadiens, and as a result the Leafs are perched on top of the standing forthe first' time during the cam- paign, having a margin of one point over both the Canucks and Amerks. The crowd was the smallest of the season, but that is generally the way. A sporting fixture is passed up being belowed par and it turns out to be a classic of one sort or another. In their first appearance here the Americans played defen- sive hockey almost entirely, and as a result they made a decidely poor impression. In the meantime there 8 been considerable criticism of their style of play, and it aparently has penetrated because they started out in a most aggressive manner atfd the unexpected demonstration of! attacking - ability had both the Lian, and the spectators dazed for a'While.
