Detroit, March 15. The Detroit Red Wings clinched fifth place in the National League race by defeating Montreal Canadiens, 4-1, before 9,507 spectators tonight. The victory assured Detroit of home-ice for the start of- its playoff series, particularly important in view of its current six-game home winning streak.

With 25 seconds to play, the two clubs engaged in another mass fistic encounter, a sequel to their free-for-all battle at Montreal Saturday, and Referee Bill Chadwick sent six players, three from each club, to the penalty bench lor major infractions. Jack Stewart and Pat McReavy scored for Detroit in the first two periods before Joe Benoit notched Montreal's lone goal, and then Carl Liscombe blasted home a pair of shots 78 seconds apart in the third period to assure victory. This gave Detroit a game and a half lead over Canadiens with one game to play. While beating the Habitants for the fifth time in eight games this season, the Red Wings started fast but were beginning to grow weary under the strain of the week-end doubleheader when Liscombe broke through with his whistling shots from close in that beat Goalie Paul Bibeault cleanly. Canadiens, who were carrying a five-game unbeaten streak, had much the better of the late play, but Goalie Johnny Mowers kept them away spectacularly.

The free-swinging postscript to the contest was started by Eddie wares, or ieirou, ana xruie dju-chard, of Montreal.

JP) Philadelphia Rockets, who have dropped 40 games this season, waited until their last home game Saturday night to hold a field day for their victory hungry fans. Scoring six goals In a wide open third period, the Rockets crushed New Haven Eagles.

8-3, in an American Hockey League game. After notching a point in each of the first and second periods, the Rockets cut loose with a fury in the third that saw five goals scorea in live minutes. Before 11 minutes had been played New Haven got two more points. In less than seven minutes eight goals in all whistled into the two nets. Jimmy Peters and Charley Mason each scored two points for the Rockets.

BUTCH WOULD HAVE REVELLED IN IT Roughly speaking (and we mean roughly in the literal sense), the big fight between Canadiens and the Red Wings here Saturday was a draw. However, the Habitants' best fighter was not in it he was glued to the bench like all the other players not'on the ice at the time the fireworks went off but if he had been out there, the odds are Canadiens would have won the fight hands down as well as the game. We are referring, of oourse, to Emile "Butch" Bouchard, the noted bee-keeper, who would have aimply revelled in the battle royal that develdped in the third period of the game at the Forum. He probably would have picked off and polished off one opponent after another until he had swept the board or rather, the Ice clean. Ray Getliffe hooked up with Eddie Bush, and gave away pounds to him, yet managed to hold his own.

Bouchard would have looked pretty good in that bout, we think. We are all for a Butch vs. Bush fight. (We wouldn't get hurt at all.) Anyway, the only thing wrong with that big brawl, the way we looked at it, was that Bouchard was not In a position to cut himself a piece of it. Trounce Chicago, 5-1, to Clinch 1st Place.

in Final Game Chicago, March 15. P) New-York Rangers tonight clinched first place and so won the National Hockey League championship as they defeated Chicago Black Hawks. 5-1. before 16,381 persons at the Chicago Stadium. It was the Rangers' final game of the season and the victory gave them 60 points to 57 for the second-place Toronto which still has one game to play.

In winning their 29th game of the campaign, the Rangers also broke the league scoring record with 177 goals, highest ever achieved under present ruies. ine oia rewro neia by Toronto was 174. The game was the final home contest of the regular season for the fourth-place Hawks, but the Chicagoans have one game left to play at Detroit Big Lynn Patrick scored the first two Ranger goals, rifling the puck past Sam Lo Presti, Hawk goalie, at 4:33 of the first period and at 1:44 of the second session. Bryan Hextall and Neil Colville we? credited with assists on the first tally and Babe Pratt got an assist on the second. Art Wiebe, Hawk defenceman, was in the penalty box as Hextall, the league's leading scorer took a pass from Babe Pratt to connect at 10:08 of the second period.

Clint Smith had started the plar with a pass to Pratt, and both were given assists. The Rangers added their final two tallies within 44 seconds of the final period. Alex Shibicky scored unassisted at 13.59 as he picked up the puck along the side of the rink, circled and caught Lo Presti unprepared. Mac Colville pushed the puck in at 14.43 after a melee in front of the Hawk rets. The lone Hawk tally, by Bob Carse.

((F) Brooklyn Americans, who refuse to be counted out of the National Hockey League playoffs, tonight retained their slim chance of grabbing sixth MURPH CHAMBERLAIN Elace by defeating Toronto Maple esfs 6-3 in a fast game before 8,978 fans at Madison Square Garden.

The loss, coupled with a Ranger win over Chicago, cost the Leafs their last chance to take the N.H.L.' leadership. In the last regular-season game here this season, Brooklyn built up a 4-1 lead at the end of the second, period but let it dribble away, until Toronto was but a goal behind, at 4-3. Then two BroQklyn goals in the last two minutes clinched the verdict. With Canadiens losing to Detroit, the Montrealers' edge over Brooklyn was cut to two points. Each team ha.s one game left, Canadiens against Toronto on Thursday niflht, Americans at Boston on lucsday.

A Canadien defeat and an American victory would result in a tie 37 points each in which case the decision would be on goals scored, where Brooklyn now leads with 130 goals to 127.

The home team scored almost at will in piling up its one-sided total but despite the score Goaler Gag-non of the losers played a good game, the best on his team. Given almost no protection he robbed the winners of almost sure markers, as Royals flashed through a wob bly defence on every second attack. Eddie Emberg, Gauthier and Doug Stewart played on one line and this proved the most effective unit. Gauthier flashed the light three times while Emberg netted twice and Stewart once. But the team as a whole enjoyed a good workout with Shawinlgan taking the offensive only on very scattered occasions.

Royals with a husky defence that revels in tough going, didn't incur a single penalty nor did their rivals. Shawinlgan. though badly outclassed, did not lay down but kept plugging and picked up two goals. Raoul Pellerin got the first of these in the midde session when he caught the corner on a long sliding shot. In the last frame Jean De-nome combined with Pellerin for Shawinigan's neatest play of the game, the pair passing their way on goal with Denome sinking the disc.

Don McQueston, along with Gauthier, was top goal-getter in the contest with three while Ech Miller banged in two. Ian Hellyer and Tommy Hale were the other sharpshooters.

Port Arthur Defeats Winnipeg Navy by 4-2 Port Arthur.

March 15. Port Arthur Bear Cats, perennial Thunder Bay senior hockey champions, shook off the effects of a month-long layoff last night to score three times in the last 10 minutC3 and defect Winnipeg Navy, 4-2, in the Allan Cup playdowns. Second of the best-of-five series will be played here tomorrow night. Bill Johnston, husky defenceman, opened the scoring for the Manito-bans in less than two minutes of the first frame and after Bill Mc-Kenzie tied the score Stu Styan, a forward, put the visitors ahead near the end of the second period. Albert Kelly bagged two for the Bear Cats in the final period and the other went to Don Gordon on a double pass from Norm Wright and Bert Laprade.

Edgar Laprade, ace pivot for the Bear Cats who turned down a professional offer with Montreal Cana-adlens of the National League earlier this season, was not in the lineup for the first game. Dudley Again Insists Q.A.H.A. Mast Declare Winner by March 25 THE OFFICIAL FROWN IS COSTLY However, this attitude is not shared by Frank Calder. president of the N.H.L. As to be expected in his official capacity, he frowned very severely on the whole business and his frowns are a' costly matter to the participants.

To the three who drew match misconduct penalties Getliffe, Bush and Orlando it means $50 apiece; to all the others engaged in the brawl, it is a $25 fine each. Usually, there is little that can disturb President Calder. He Is a sombre and cloe-lipped man. Yesterday, he talked with unwonted heat on the subject as he announced the fines, pointing out that a match-misconduct penalty carries an automatic $25 fine, but in thla case he was doubling the amount to teach the belligerents a lesson. He said, "I think it is diagraceful that two teams cannot meet in war-time and settle their hockey differences in a hockey way, without knocking each other all over the place.

Major penalties should have been given to all the belligerents. Well, these fines are a warning to the players that they can't get away with it. That sort of thing must top. And if there la any repetition of that brawling, there will be wholesale suspensions. They'll be taught to conduct themselves properly." It was mentioned that the automatic fine of $25 to any player leaving the bench to participate in a fight on the ice, has served as an almost iron-clad deterrent in that regard.

Players don't mind a crack on the chin, but they don't like to be hit in the pocket-book. Even Saturday everybody on the two benches stayed put, except Orlando, and he left only after he heard his father and brothers had become embroiled in the melee. President Calder said he expected that the fines imposed for Saturday night's outbreak would serve as a similarly effective deterrent to any further eruptions. We regret to confess that we do not possess the same delicate aesthetic susceptibilities of the league president. We rather enjoyed the violent proceedings with a primitive sort of relish, and -we suspect something over 11,000 other people there did likewise.

We would be almost willing to wager that one Thomas Patrick Gorman was not terribly put out over the riotous doings, what with the playoffs just around th corner and Canadiens and Detroit due to meet in the first round. You can be sure that brawl will scare all the horrified customers away from the playoffs. ONE FIGHT STARTED BY MISTAKE Altogether, the fines on the players should amount to $300. Getliffe, Bush and Orlando, will be, nicked for $150, and $25 each Will be levied against Sands, Howe, Portland, Stewart, Kenny Reardon and Wares for having participated. The goalkeepers are excepted because obviously they weren't trying to fight, but were endeavoring to act as peacemakers, although futilely.

The fines will come as a rude ahock to all concerned, but particularly so to the Messrs. Sands and Howe, for they got to fighting each other purely by mistake, and that supplied one of the humorous touches of the evening. Sands was telling us about it afterwards. You see both Sands and Howe are friends. Also they are both older players, not the type who ever seek trouble.

They are what is known as "cooler heads." Sands related. "Syd and I had been trying to quiet things down. And even as the big fight started with everyone in It, we were talking together. I looked around to see what I could do to stop. the commotion, when something hit me on the shoulder.

I turned around and there was Howe behind me. So I poked him, and he poked me back and we started flailing away. "After a while, we paused for breath, and Syd said, 'Say what started you and me fighting, I said, 'Why, because you hit me on the shoulder from behind. Howe said, 'I did nothing of the I said, 'Well, It didn't seem like you to hit me when I wasn't looking. And now that I come to think of It, I remember hearing some glass break about that "That's what it was, Howe hadn't hit me at all.

Somebody threw a glass from the crowd, and it struck me on the shoulder and broke on the ice. And I thought Howe had slugged me. It was just an accident that we fought, but if we hadn't started on each other, we might (Continued on Page 21.)

Dudley pointed out that all other branches had complied with the C.A.H.A. dates in getting their playdowns underway and all had refused to allow Quebec to be granted additional time to declare its winner. The Q.A.H.A.

executive first decided to call a meeting of all the members for Tuesday night and Dudley, before he left for Ottawa, said that he would have to have the Q.A.H.A. decision on whether it would enter the playdowns by Wednesday. After Dudley departed to catch the 10.15 train for the Capital it was decided to call the emergency Q.A.H.A. meeting tonight at the Forum, following the Canadian-Ottawa Q.S.H.L. playoff fixture.
