NKW VOIIK, April (I (UP)
They nre sturting on the home
si retch for lite Stanley cup In
Detroit tonight with the best
teuni in hockey on the sidelines
us spectators.
It Is going to be II hollow
trophy Ihis year for the cup thai
ir supposed lo he emblematic of
Ihe world's hockey championship
Is going lo go to either the De
troll Hod Wings or thu Trunin
Manic Leafs.
They were also runs during
the legulnr season to the Mon
treal Ciinadiens, regarded as one
of the best hockey teams tif nil -lime.
Not only were the Can
udiens tlie only club of pre-war
Qtiulity in Ihe circuit, but they
dominated the play to such mi
extent that the only oueslion was
which teams would duality with
(hem for the cup playoffs.
It ir mi obi story in play-off
competition for more often than
not the team which has stood the
lest oT time und proved itself
superior over a long run hits a
slump ill the series with the
chins down. '
It isn't the pressure. It's Un
law of averages. II happens In
(he Sbaogbnessy baseball play
ofls as regularly as il occurs in
hockey.
This year the elosesl leant lo
the Canadiejls was the Detroit
sexte(. The Montrealers wongo
ing away, winninc nil of their fill
uameH, losing onlv eight ami iy
iiur four fur a tola! of III) poiuis.
Vet in (lie preliminary champion
ship series Ihev were eliminated
hv a club which played just a
hide belter than .S00 hockey
the Toronto Maple l.eafs.
The answer is that the slump
which usually hits any athletic
outfit, no inaller bow greal, fin
ullv caught tl i wild the Can
adieits - al a tune when Stanley
eun dollars were riding. They
bad gone along all season with
out losing form lint when the
pavoff came they could not get
going'.
So Toronto and Detroit are
fighting for the championship.
The players on those two teams
will be the (list lo admit thai
thev don't deserve the cup.
Tin- lime may conn- when the
National hockey league will sec
Ihe light and award the cup
tll
the team which wins over the
long haul. It could still retain
the playoffs for the only reason
they were Invented extra dol
lars in the coffers of (he club
owners. Hut
the award to the
wimuM' .should be m the form of
a consolation prize and not the

Star Athletes of
Navy Ordered To
Overseas Duty
WASHINGTON, April 6 (UP)
The navy is breaking up its
all-star athletic teams in this
country in a dual move to bolster
morale of personnel overseas and
to end "adverse criticism" at
home, it was learned toduy.
The order opens the way for
many nationally known stars in
navy uniform to be sent overseas,
thereby giving servicemen away
from home an opportunity to see
high class athletic competition.
But it rings down the curtain
in this country on such outstand
ing sports outfits as the Bain
bridge, Md., training station foot
ball team and the Great Lakes
baseball nine couched by Bob
Feller of Cleveland Indian fame.
In an order to all naval com
mands in this country, the navy
said it no longer favors "deliber-
Uitc concentrations of professional
or publicly-known amateur ath
letes within the continental
United States for the purpose of
exploiting their specialties in
athletic team competition."
The navy said it believed that
i the "overall morale of the navy
, Is enhanced by the wide disper
sal of well-known athletes in
routine service with active units.
even enrolled as a student. Mad
not the Brooklyn college players
stumbled into the garment heat
they no doubt would have gone
on until the season's end working
their way through college by
throwing basketball games."
As Sgt. Johnny Jones sttesses,
with cheating overlooked, if not
encouraged, by coaches, players
gradually reached the point
where they believed ill their own
invincibility.

Will Meet Sunday
LOS ANGELES, April 6 (UP)
Betty Jameson, the two time
national women's golf queen,
said today, between practice
swings for her coming golf duel
with Mildred (Babe) Didrickson
Zaharias, that it would take more
than the Babe's reputation to
stop her.
Miss Jameson, of San Antonio,
Tv will meet the lone driving
Babe in a 36-hole match Sunday
at the Los Angeles country club.
All proceeds go for rehabilitation
of war veterans through con
struction, and upkeep of golf
courses at military hospitals.
This is the second meeting of
the queens of golf. Their first
match took place in 1937, when
Betty took the Babe, 5 and 4, in
the semifinals of the Texas open.
