BRADY Morning News Sports Editor ROCK HILL, S. April 10 Wilmington's Blue Rocks blew a three-run sixth-inning lead here today and as a result dropped a 7 to 6 decision in 10 innings to Walter (Rabbit) Maranville's Springfield team of the Class A Eastern League. The Rocks were impressive for the first six innings, but a four-run splurge at the expense of Jim Marsh, third Wilmington hurler, put Springfield out in front at 6-5.

The Rocks battled back to knot the score in their half of the seventh, but finally bowed in the extra frame. The winning marker in the tenth came home when one of Marsh's pitches got past Vince Castino, rolling to the backstop as Bill Holtz dashed to the plate. Marsh walked Holtz to start the frame and, after Vern Richards, went out on strikes. Bob Jacobs hit safely to center, Holtz reaching third. Bob Schibi was hit by a pitched ball and after Reggie Otero flied to Babe DeFreitas for the second out.

THIRD STRAIGHT Turn fn 4 to 2 Victory Over Detroit Red Wings In Stanley Cup Final Play-Off DETROIT, April 10 (JP) The Boston Bruins, National Hockey League i champions, made it three straight victories over the Detroit Red Wings In the Stanley Cup finals with a 4 to 2 conquest here before 10.137 specta- tors tonight and drew within a game of possession of the venerable Ice trophy.

The defeat brought the Red "Wings, battling with a rookie-filled lineup, to the brink of elimination from the cup series. Boston now can 1 win the cup by beating Detroit in the fourth game here Saturday night. Twice tonight In the first period the Bruins, on the dazzling individual work of Milt Schmidt and Eddie Wiseman, came from behind to nullify Detroit goals. The might of the champions became evident in the second period when Schmidt bagged his second goal of the evening, a terrific 25 -foot sizzler that caught Goalie Johnny Mowers flat-footed, 59 seconds after the period opened, to put the Bruins ahead for the first time. Ine -DCSloruaris cuui.ruucu game after that, holding the frantically rushing Red Wings with the aid of some sensational saves by Goalie Frank Brimsek and adding a fourth goal by Art Jackson three minutes before the end of the game while Alex Motter was in the penalty box.

Both teams were at top speed as tonight's game opened, and in the fourth minute of play, Bill Jennings' short goal on a pass from Don Grosso was quickly matched 42 seconds later when Wiseman lifted Roy Conacher's rebound over the diving Mowers. Sid Abel sent Detroit ahead three minutes later and Schmidt in the fifteenth minutes equalized matters with his first goal, skating in alone after eluding Detroit defenseman Jimmy Orlando. Schmidt's second goal, however, was the most stunning blow of the Boston attack, as he came in fast to pick up a pass from behind the goal and blast the puck knee-high past the amazed Detroit goalie. 1,000 Entered in A.

Medwick, Camilli Hit Home Runs in Game At Wilmington Park (Continued From First Page) He will need to rest three or four days, an attending physician The Dodgers, after being throttled in one-two-three order in the first inning by Ruffing, jumped off to a one-run lead in ihe second. Medwick, first up, caught a Ruffing curve on the fat of the bat and lifted the ball far over the left field bar rier, about 10 feet inside the loui line.

It was Joe's eleventh, four-master of the training campaign, and his third in two days. Ruffing, who seldom showed his old-time stuff, gave up a walk to Cookie Lavagetto immediately after Med wick's blow, and when Camilli followed with a single over second, the Yankees seemed to be in real trouble. The Yankee hurler bore down to force Aiex Kampouris to hit into a double play, ending the threat for that inning. Ross Hits Safely The Flatbush. Flailers were back there, knocking away, in tlie third frame, and again it was Medwick who caused most of the damage.

Don Ross, playing at shortstop in the absence of both Pee wee Reese and Manager Leo Durocher, pound ed a hard single into left, with one away. Although Paul waner could do nothing with Ruffing's pitches, Pete Reiser advanced Ross to second with another one-base knock. a-ieawier came inrougn witn a single that scored Ross, and was so hot that Joe DiMaggio juggled it out in oenterfieid long enough for Reiser to take third. Lavagetto was Ruf fing's second strikeout victim to end the inning. For the next three stanzas.

Rufus the Red settled down end blanked the Dodgers without a hit. The Na tional Leaguers' final run came suddenly in the seventh when Dolph Camilli, the first batter, poled a solid wallop that followed almost the same path as Medwick's homer had. This one, however, struck the top of the fence before bounding out into Governor Printz Boulevard. Meanwhile, the Yankees had done little scoring of their own off the offerings of Hugh Casey. Held hit-less in the opening inning, they picked up steam with Charley Keller's single in the second, and two more one -base hits by Ruffing and Rizzuto in the third frame.

Gordon Scores Keller Their first score came on a single blow in the fourth, when Keller teased Casey for a walk and Flash Gordon sent a scorching grounder into left field. Keller crossed the plate when Gordon's hit took a bad hop over Medwick's shoulder. Gor don promptly died, however, in one of the more spectacular plays of the game. Dickey's rap to Casey was tossed to Lavagetto to head off Flash at third. In the run-down.

Casey himself made the putout, while Dickey went to second. He was left there. A single by Lou Blair, third-baseman, in the fifth inning, and Di- Maggio's only safety, in the sixth, constituted the Yankees' only threat In those Innings. In the seventh. Pinch-hitter Tommy Henrich led off with another single.

Blair followed with his second safe hit, advancing Henrich to third, but both were left on base by George Selkirk, who was hitless in five trips to the plate. Luke Hamlin succeeded Casey on the hill for Brooklyn in the eighth inning, and promptly became involved in difficulties. He fanned DiMaggio, to the delight of the crowd, but Keller leaned against a fast one and slammed it against the fence just below the scoreboard in right field. While Petey Coscarart, who Is normally a second-baseman, was catching up with the ball, Keller went all the way to third. Gordon then batted him home for the second time with a long fly that backed Joe Voemik against the left field wall before he pulled it in.

Keller scored easily after the catch. Buddy Rosar's single was wasted. Hamlin gave up one more hit in the ninth, but it too failed to pro duce in the run column. Frenchy Bordagaray, pinchhitting, was safe on an infield rap that "he beat out. The next three batters were retired in order, to end the game.

Llndrll Finishes for Tanks Brooklyn wound up its batting ef forts against John Lindell, a lanky rookie pitcher up from Kansas City, with a single safety in the two rounds they faced him. Don Ross greeted the newcomer, who relieved Ruffing for the last two frames, with a rousing double to the wall in left-center field. Although Gerald Prid-dy, the Yankees' highly-touted sec ond baseman, fumbled Walker's grounder right after that, Lindell pulled out of the hole. It was at this point that Re'ser's injury occurred. Taking too vicious a cut at the ball, he wrenched his Pittaburgh-Duks.

Both teams had some difficulty hitting with men on the bases, with the Dodgers leaving seven runners stranded, and the Yankees nine. Frequent substitutions were made, only one of them being neoessary. That was the replacement of Reiser by Coscarart. Six other substitutions were made by Brooklyn, with BabePhelps going back of the plate to replace Mickey Owen, Lew Rigg taking Lavagetto' spot at third, Vosmik going to left field for Medwick, and Walker subbing for Waner in right. All these changes were made in the sixth inning.

Later, Coscarart went to right field, and Walker moved over to center, and Jimmy Wasdell relieved Camilli at the opening of the seventh." The Yankees' switches were all battery changes. Henrich and Bordagaray pinch-hit for the hurlers, while Rosar replaced Dickey in the eighth. The spectators thus saw good portion of both team rosters in ac tion. For the most part, the lineups were those that the Dodgers and Yanks expect to present on opening day. One exception, of course, was Ross at shortstop, where Reese and Durocher have first call.

Reese is recovering from the ankle injury he suffered Wednesday, while Durocher had two teeth extracted in Baltimore and went directly to New York. Dressen Handles Team Coach Charley Dressen handled the Dodgers in Lippy Leo's absence. Kampouris handled second base duties, and probably will continue there instead of Coscarart, who has been a disappointment this season. On the Yankee side, Lou (Buddy) Blair at third base was the only substitute. Red RoUe has a Charley horse, and Is undergoing treatment.

Rizzuto, the flashy new shortstop, was inserted in the starting lineup only at the last moment when Frank Crosetti pulled up lame. Rizzuto himself was on the ailing list when the Yankee team arrived in town. Both clubs left almost immediately for New York, where they will con- tinue their rivalry in three more battles before the curtain goes up on the regular season.

Former Refuses to Sign Contract With Chicago Cubs Calling for $10,000 CHICAGO, April 10 JPh The Chicago Cubs and two of their highest salaried stars tightened their bat-tie lines today for what loomed as the most serious holdout "siege" In the club's history.

In a grim, strained atmosphere. Pitcher Bill Lee parted from James Gallagher, Cub general manager, aiter an hour's conference had failed to settle their salary differences. At the same time Gallagher said he had "heard nothing" from Hank Leiber, the big outfielder who has anchored himself at his ranch near Tucson, Ariz. Lee, who slumped to a record of nine wins and 17 defeats last season after winning 22 games in 1938 and 19 in 1939, obviously was unhappy but determined as he left Gallagher. "I started the discussion at 000.

th tall hurler said. "But Gal lagher said his offer was $10,000. Then I offered to pitch for $12,500 if assured I would get the difference between $12,500 and $15,000 if I had a good season. But Gallagher said $10,000. I can't pitch for that." Asked whether he cared to com ment, Gallagher said "I haven't anything to say." Later he said he would not ask Lee in for a second conference, although the pitcher said he planned to remain here for a few days and hoped to work out at the University of Chi cago fleldhouse.

He said he weighed 200 pounds, his pitching weight, and was in good shape. Lee and Leiber have been hold outs for 42 days, dating back to the opening of training at Catalina Island. The Cubs had offered Lee $12500 a cut of $5,000 from his 1940 salary but cut it further to $10,000 when he failed to report at spring camp. Leiber, who hit .302 in 117 games last season getting 17 homers has made no move to confer with Gallagher, who said today he "hadn't heard a thing" from the husky blond fly chaser. The Cubs and Pittsburgh open the season here Tuesday.

The Lee-Gallagher controversy apparently has reached an impasse for the Cub general manager has the backing of Owner P. K. Wrigley, who has let it be known that Gal lagher is in the driver's seat. The consensus seems to be that the Cubs could get along without Leiber but would be in a bad way without Lee. who in seven years with the club has won 115 games while losing 87.
