The race is so close that one win or defeat means a great deal, Marlboros are now in first place and can strengthen their positions with another win here tonight. On the other hand, if the, GM-Mea succeed in handing Marlboros their first defeat away from home--then Oshawa will have started their climb out of fifth place and be headed for a place in the sun again, dob B In Hamilton on Friday night, Oshawa scored first but Leo La- moureaux, despite the handicap of a bad injury, paced the Dofascos ¥ to a win over Oshawa.

Sunday's 1-1 with Saturday's 4-0 victory at the Capitol, left them with 'a one-point margin over the second-place Que- bec Royal Rifles, who outscored Montreal Concordia 7-3 at Quebec. Senators, outplayed for the greater part of the game, had to come from behind with the fast skating Canadien crew, who took a one-point advant- age midway through the first period on Conny Tudin's tally. With less than three minuies to go in the final period Gordie Poirer, former Canadian star, punched home the tying marker. Ottawa's star defensive combina- tion of Jack Wilkinson and Stan Pratt were missing from the lineup, as was Jake Brunning. They were suffering from influenza. Poirer, who is in the Canadian Active Service Force, was trans- ferred to Ottawa a short time ago | and hecame eligible to play with the Senators. In the second half of the schedul- ed doubleheader Montreal Royals rode to an easy 6-2 win over Corn- wall Flyers and entrenched them- selves more firmly in third place.

' Welterweight Champion Zivie, a 5-t0-2 favorite goin ginto the tussle, had to rally like a man coming out of a coma to pull up even, as the | lightweight king from Sweetwater, | Texas, surprised every one in the | biggest fight crowd in the Garden | 'this year by taking a termendous | early lead, largely through body punching. Gate $51,019 A total of 16,949 fans contributed first draw in a windup bout in the Garden since September, 1937. Zivic used every trick known to even to the oldest inhabitants, in the early going. As much to pro- tect himself as far as any other reason, Lew pulled a few tricks of his own. There was one spot, in the third round , when they leaned against the ropes and playfully poked thumbs in each other's eyes. them. At the finish, no one "was hurt- ed" as the boys say around and about. Referee George Walsh voted for Jenkins. Judge Charles Gray- cott gave each five rounds, but bal- loted for Zivic. Judge Steve Hamas, the old heavyweight, thought it was a draw. The Associated Press score card gave each five rounds, with Zivic taking the last four.

Canadions haven't got the Indian | sign on"many teams in the National Hockey League this season, but it begins to look as though they have it on Boston Bruins. Canadiens played sparkling hoc- key Saturday night to upset the Bruins 3-1, chiefly because they ignored the League champions' power and played as a well-knit unit. The youthful cellar-dwellers out-thumped and outspeeded their opponents to make their record against Boston read two wins and a draw so far this season. It was young Elmer Lach, rookie from Moose Jaw, Sask. who broke a 1-1 deadlock with what turned out to be the winning goal at 13:35 in the third period, Ray Getliffe fol- lowed that up wtih a clincher a few seconds later, The win lifted Canadiens into a sixth-place tie with New York Am- | ericans for 24 hours, but they drop- ped back into the cellar again when Americans upset the League-lead- ing Toronto Maple Leafs last night. Rookie Joe Benoit opened the scoring for Montreal after seven minutes of play in the second per- iod, put Art Jackson took a double pass from Bll Cowley and Eddie Wiseman to tie it up again before the period ended. <2 Lack scored the winner just as the crowd was getting ready for an overtime struggle. He took a cen- tre-zone relay from Ken Reardon and Jack Adams to sweep by the Boston defence and punch his own rebound past Goalie Brimsek after circling the Boston net. Boston came back with an at- tempted power-play, but it fizzled badly when Charlie Sands inter- cepted a pass and passed to Getliffe who coasted down with nobody but Brimsek to beat, Bruins were all around Goalie Bert Gardiner during the last six minutes of play, but oarginer was equal to the occasion.
