Tuesday, May 18, 1971 Stanley Cup Is at Stake Tonight By JOE M60SHIL Associated Press Sports Writer CHICAGO (AP) We're down to the nitty-gritty," Chicago Coach Billy Reay said. "We've got to play our best to win here," Montreal Coach Al MacNeil said. What it all comes down to tonight is one game. Whoever wins it will own the coveted Stanley Cup, symbol of supremacy in the National Hockey league. The visiting Canadiens have the edge in tradition.

But that hasn't helped them here. The Black Hawks have won all three of their championship- round games at home. Montreal has done the same. The Canadiens, led by the Mahovlich and this seventh game when they came from behind Sunday with a pair of third period goals to edge the Hawks 43 and tie the series at three games. "It's now a one-game series," Reay said.

It will be nationally televised by CBS starting at 8:30 p.m., EOT, and will bring to a close the longest season in NHL history. Naturally, both clubs will go all out. That probably means extended duty for the top players of each team. The Hawks have seen plenty of the Mahovlich boys who have accounted for nine of the Canadiens' 17 goals in the series. Yvan Cournoyer has contributed heavily to the Montreal offense and Ken Dryden has been virtually unbelievable in the Cana- diens' net.

The Hawks again will count heavily upon Bobby Hull who takes his regular turas on the line, kills penalties and skates the power play. "He's strong and thrives on work," said Reay, who was forced to use defenseman Pat Stapleton almost 39 minutes Sunday. The plucky Stapleton and his sidekick, Bill White, could see as much duty in the finale. The Canadiens will be shooting for their 15th Cup since the NHL took orar- the 1926. The Hawks will be seelc- ing their fourth Cup and first since 1961.

Unlike football's Super Bowl with $25,000 to each winner and baseball's World Series, with some $18,000 a winner last year, pride and not money is the factor in the Stanley Cup. The final series means $3,000 to each winner and $1,500 to each loser. Because the Hawks finished first in the West Division and the Canadiens third in the East, each team's total play-off money varies. If the Hawks are victorious they'll net $10,000 a man. If they lose it'll be cut to $8,500.

If the Canadiens win, they'll total $8,250 a man and $6,750 each if they lose. Also at stake is the Conn Smythe Trophy for the Most Valuable Player in the series. It carries a bonus of $1,500. U.S. Wins Chess Opener From Soviet VANCOUVER, B.C.

(AP) Bobby Fischer of Los Angeles won the first game of his 10- game match with Marck Taimanov of the Soviet Union Monday when the Russian chess expert resigned without more play. Their match was adjourned Triple Crown Within Reach, Canonero Is Relaxed for Belmont HOPE (ARK.) STAR, Printed by Offset Television and Scout to Washington BALTIMORE (AP) Cano- nero surprise winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, was scheduled to take a "victory" walk in front of the Pimlico stands today as a tug of war appeared to be developing for his services. Meanwhile Canonero, who was to depart for New York Thursday for the June 5 Belmont Stakes, appeared to be facing steadily dwindling opposition for the third leg of the Triple Crown. Pedro Baptista, who races the colt in the name of his son- in-law, Edgar Caibett, said he would be in Miami Thursday to discuss a $4 million bid from a Florida syndicate for the $1,200 yearling. And the Venezuelan government, which controls racing in the colt's home country, reportedly was interested in buying the horse to spur interest in breeding in the South American nation.

"The government officials have said they would like to keep him at home," a spokesman said Monday, "to spur interest in breeding created by Canonero in the Derby and Preakness. "But I doubt if the government can match the offer of the people in Miami," he continued. "If the government offers anything less, Mr. Baptista would be a poor businessman to accept it." Baptista, a Caracas businessman, said he would have to retain four shares in any syndication, keep any earnings from the Belmont Stakes, with the horse running under the origi- AMN Builds Big ead in Track Meet LITTLE ROCK (AP) Arkansas built up a commanding lead Monday night in the first night of competition of the Arkansas Intercollegiate track meet at Scott Field in Little Rock. had 32 points, followed iby defending chflmjyprx -fefrn State with 15.

Canonero II, with a chance to become the first Triple Crown winner since Citation in 1948, has scared off quite a bit of opposition for the final leg. Jim French, runner-up in the Derby and third in the Preakness, appears to be the only certain repeater from the previously beaten fields. Eastern Fleet, runner-up by IMs lengths in the Preakness as Canonero II set a Pimlico track record of 1:54 for 1 3-16 miles, is still a question mark.

Other possibilities for the Belmont include Good Behaving, who would be an entry with Jim French for trainer Johnny Campo; Bold Reasoning, unbeaten winner of the recent Withers Stakes; Run The Gantlet and On Your Toes.

May 19 -11 a.m. to 4 p.m* 124 HOPE VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER HOPE, ARK. ICLJP THIS CO UPON ONI OAY OMIY By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Television-Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP) "The City." ABC's two-hour film feature Monday night, was a formal introduction to Mayor Thomas Jefferson Alcala, who will be around the channels next season on a weekly basis. Television, over the seasons, has had an assortment of dedicated doctors, district attorneys and lawmen. Next season, it will have a dedicated mayor in the person of Anthony Quinn, one of the big motion picture names prepared to take a flyer in series TV.

Mayor Alcala is a big, rumpled man, infinitely more interested in running the city and helping his constituents than in developing his image. He is, of course, very honest and brave. In the film he was charging around trying to shrug off police protection although there was a bomber running around trying to get him. Although the mayor's city- he has been head man for 16 never named, the background has a distinct Southwestern flavor, and the mayor occasionally slips into fluent Spanish when talking with his housekeeper or some of his people. The action in the film centered on the mayor's efforts to postpone action on converting some university-owned land into an industrial park.

The project had caused disturbances among students violently opposed to the plan, and the mayor, of course, also was reluctant to see open spaces disappear. The bomber managed to plant his device in the mayor's elevator in time for the explosive climax, but his as well as the mayor's escape from injury was both predictable and familiar. It was, in fact, a pretty slow-moving story, obviously put together to introduce a character. Quinn does a good jqb as a harried, impatient man faced not only with day-by-day problems and a fanatic at large but with the necessity of campaigning for re-election. The concept, pruned down to an hour may work nicely as a series.

They may have a little problem with his marital stat-, us. Mayor Alcala, unlike most of TV's dedicated servants of the people, is not a widower. His wife, whom he has not seen for seven years, is teaching school in distant Pennsylvania. The marriage went to pieces after the death of their son and the mayor makes daily, brooding visits to his child's grave. CBS will rearrange its schedule tonight to broadcast the Stanley Cup hockey finals from start to finish.

Con'f Stop Drilling in Park LITTLE ROCK (AP) The attorney general's office said today that the state apparently cannot forbid Ouachita Exploration from drilling for minerals in Moro Bay State Park. The park was established in 1967 by the legislature but the definite boundaries were not es- tablished until last Nov. 1 when the state acquired a su-year lease for $1.

Last March, however, Ouachita Exploration obtained a lease on the minerals through a bankruptcy settlement with Texas Continental Oil. L. E. Surles, director of the Parks and Tourism Department, asked the attorney general's office whether a company could legally drill in the park even if it did hold mineral rights to the property. May Cut U.S.

Troops fo Press Europe WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Defense Melvin R. may use a Senate move to halve U.S. troop strength in Europe as a prod to obtain greater contributions by NATO allies toward improving alliance forces. Although is strongly opposed to the troop reduction, the sources say they expect laird to cite the Senate move as one of the realities allied defense ministers must recognize as they weigh proposals to on modernize and strengthen NATO. The meeting of defense ministers will come next week after the Senate acts on a proposal by Senate Leader Mike Mansfield to reduce the present U.S.

garrison in Europe to 150,000 men. Whatever the Senate outcome, Laird could use it as ammunition. If the Senate votes for the amendment, the issue would remain unsettled until tested in the House. If the Senate rejects the proposal, Mansfield moves could still serve as a warning that Congress may force a drastic U.S. pullback unless the European allies chip in more and ease the U.S.

financial burden. Pentagon officials say Laird's chief concern at the NATO meetings will be to push for additional commitments to strengthen the alliance through modernizing equipment and correcting longstanding deficiencies, rather than increasing the number of troops.
