1937. New York Arnerks Finally Counted Out Of Hockey PlafSft HAWKS PUSHED CLOSER TO EDGE BY 2 JO 2 TIE Boston Goes Tiuee Points Up on Bangers; Maroons, Leats Clinch Berths, DETROIT BEATEN BY 3 TO 1 NEW YORK, March 8. (fp) There's just one chance left that the six teams now occupying the upper rungs of the. National Hockey League ladder won't be in the Stan" ley cup playoffs at the finish. The New York Americans fin- illy were counted out Saturday night and the Chicago Blackhawks "all but took the final blow, when played a 2-2 draw with Tor- 1 onto's Maple Leafs Sunday.

As a iesult of that draw and the New I York Rangers' 1-0 defeat by Boston Bruins last night, Chicago has only one slim hope left. If the Hawks can win all their remaining five games and the Rangers lose five straight, they'll be tied in points. But in that case the Hawks will have one more victory and. will get the call. That was the way the Rangers went out last season.

Those two important games last night also sent Boston three points up on the Rangers in their second- placc. race in'the. American division and tossed Toronto and the Mon- tieal Maroons into a tie for second in the international section. The llaroons and Leafs both clinched'their playoff berths Saturday when the Montrealers whipped the Americans 4-3 and Toron'-o took a 3-1 overtime decision from the Montreal Canadiens. The Amerks turned-around too iate to do any good and whipped Dettoil's league-leading Red Wings 3-1 in last night's third game to tnd a Detroit winning Edison Sault and League Finals Tonigltt TO SKATE BETWEEN PERIODS OF TANNERY-EDISON GAME TONIGHT SPORTS ROUNDUP BY EDDIE BKIETZ 'SABASOTA, S.

Hockey Moguls Change Minds; Cubs Stay in League and in Lead THE SPORTSMAN The growing number of Michigan fishermen who tie their own flies has resulted in a marked demand for deer tails. Conservation officers in various parts of the deer country who find dead or confiscate deer illegally shot are not surprised on receiving requests for the tails of the deer.

The fly-tiers use the long, coarse, rather brittle hairs. found in the deer tail for streamer or buck-tail "flies," which proved very effective against trout, particularly the browns. Last fail during and after the open deer hunting season, conservation officers were besieged with requests for deer tails- and in many instances were able to supply the demand by removing the, tails of deer found illegally shot.

LAKELAND, March S. Belwtan Schoolboy' Rowe's predictions and Al Simmons' good intentions, the Detroit Tigers found reason for satisfaction in the training camp today.

The Schoolboy, showing no signs of wear and tear from automobile accidents, suggested 23 victories for himself this year while Simmons. 12 pounds lighter than year apo. was here for work a week ahead of schedule. Rowe. who won 24 games in 1934 and 19 in each of the last two seasons, based his assumption for 25 this time on the theory his bad luck, involving auto mishaps, an operation, and such, has "about run out." Because Simmons has his weight down, and looks for work this soon, camp hangers-on figured he is planning a fast start.

During much of the 1936 seajon, the veteran outfielder, bought for a fancy price from the Chicago White Sox, had trouble maintaing a good hitting average, although he finished strong. "Just thought I'd come in a week early," Simmons said, "and get the jump on the other fellows. If this is going to be a battle, you can bet that I'll be right in the middle of it. Canadian Sault Hockey Association has rescinded its action in ordering the Cubs-Steel Plant game replayed tonight and the Michigan Sault team will remain in the race playing- the winner of the Grey hounds-Steclmcn semi-finals scries for the inter-city championship.

Thn'finals will'begin next Sundaj at the Northland Rink with th winner of the Steel Plant-Grey hounds series playing the Cubs. Th finals will also be a two-game totn! with the second gam being played the following Wcrtnes dn.v nigh in the Arena. The Michigan Sault team had decided to withdraw from the league Saturday when it was announced by the Canadian Sault Hockey Association that the protest of the Steel Plant that the game played last Monday he thrown out was upheld. The Cubs management charged the Canadian organization with attempting fo "freeze" the Michigan Sault team out of the running. The Cubs' victory over the Steel Plant last Monday advanced them to the finals.

The Canadian Sault. association has ruled that Rac VTallingfonl. recently acquired defcnsemnn of the Cubs, will not be permitted to play. Wallingford came to Sault. Ontario, recently from Timmins and was picked up by the Cubs.

As usual, Ishpeming is the team to beat in the tourney.

The Hematites have been in the tournament finals every year since competition was started back in 1924. They have carried home the title every year since 1931. Negaunee and Marquette have each won the championship. Grand Marais will reign as the Class favorite over Brimley, Rudyard and DeTour. The fishermen have won the tournament for the last two years.

The teams matched this afternoon for games on March 11, 12, and 13 are as follows: Class Ste. Marie, Marquette, Negaunee, St. Igna.ce, and Ishpeming. Class DeTour, Rud- y'ard, Grand Marais. McMillan, also in District 41, elected not to make entry this year.

Soo Plays 'Friday Two Class games will be played on Thursday night. On Friday afternoon the opening matches of the Class section will get under way and on Friday night Ishpeming and the Sault, who will be awarded byes, will meet the win ners of Thursday's games. The two championship tilts will be run off on Saturday evening. Negaunee, Marquette, Munising, and St. Ignace will play in the opening games.

Coach Raymond Altenhof's boys have beaten Marquette, Negaunee, and St. Ignace twice each and Munising once. Tournament Manager Foss Elwyn has stated that it will take receipts of at least to clear expenses in the tournament, including the cost of team expense, equipment, and promotion. Under the vules of the Michigan High School Athletic association before any division of proceeds is made in the district tournaments the cost of officials, trophies, and one basket ball for each class competing will be deducted from the gross proceeds. This assures the entertaining school that tournament expenses will be met out of the tournament proceeds rather than out of the host school's share.

After deducting these costs 20 percent of the receipts go to the entertaining school, 70 percent to the other competing schools, and 10 percent to the state association. The Rule For Ties tournament Manager Elwyn pointed-out today that the Upper Por.insula rule for tie games differs from that used in lower peninsula high schools. The U. P. rule calls for overtime periods of 3 minutes to be played until the tic is broken.

In the lower peninsula, an intricate system of score counting five points for total field goals, four points for free throws, and three points for least personal fouls. The U. P. ruling reads: "If the score is tied at the expiration of the second half play shall be continued without change of baskets for an extra period of 3 minutes or many such 3 minutes periods as may be necessary to break the tie. One minute intermission shall be allowed before each extra period.

Kach extra period shall bo considered a continuation of the second half but at the beginning of each extra period the ball shall be put in play at the center of the floor."

While that feat still furnishes the best fuel for basketball comment in the current season, the Indians added to that record by whippmg the Ishpeming outfit on the Hematites' floor Friday the first defeat of an Ishpemitig team on its floor in five years. A valuable lesson can be learned, however, from the Xewherry- Marquette game Saturday night in the Graveraet gymnasium. The Indians piled up an 18 to 0 lead at half time but were forced to the limit lo win 29 to 27 over the Graveraets.

Overconfidence has been the downfall of many teams. With tournament time already here more emphasis than ever will be laid on that subject.
