The two new cities of the oldest minor league drew capacity crowds. At Havana, before a gath- ering of 25,000 the Sugar Kings routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-2. The Virginians were nipped by the Rochester Red Wings 4-3 before 12,000 in Richmond. A newcomer to Havana, Vene- zuelan righthander Emilio Cueche. led the Sugar Kings at the plate as well as on the mound. He limited the Maple Leafs to eight hits and collected three hits in four times at bat. The Cubans exploded for 15 hits against three Toronto pitchers with Angel Scull, Clint Hartung, Ray Noble and Vinicio Garcia each col- lectins two hits.

Canadiens, a stumbling block in what gould have bee na long list of consecutive Edmonton victories, now have been outscored 23-3 in the series, with the fifth game scheduled here Thursday night. Oil Kings had 35 games without defeat before falling to Canadiens 2-1 in the second game of the ser- ies at Fort William. They now are considered western Canada's strongest junior team since Port Arter Bruins captured the cup in 948. Tuesday night, before 6,100. fans, they lived up to expectations. They spotted Canadiens an early first- period goal, then romped freely to victory with a series of close-in passing attacks while Canadiens were held to long range, testing goalie Al Jacobson only 26 times against 40 handled by the Lake head club's Lynn Davis.
