Smythe, Adams Point Finger — but Chadwick’s is Biggest
DETROIT. Mich.— It was after the first A series Stanley Cup playff game in Detroit and the Leafs, 3-0 losers, were offering such consolation as could be found under the circumstances with remarks like: “Foreget that one gang, there’s another one to come”and “That’s only the first one. We’ll get to ‘em.” In one corner Conn Smythe, a veteran of over 20 playoff Wars, was offering parry and thrust with a seeming continuous line of newspapermen who all asked him the same question. “We’ve got a good chance If they play hockey,” he said, “there wasn’t much chance to play hockey out there tonight.

Que.— A mystery, threatening to reach the tragic stage, came to an end in the camp of the JAHA Montreal Canadiens last week, when their dipsy-doodling team captain, Donnie Marshall, scored the winning goal in the important fourth game of the JAHA finals, against Quebec Citadels.

But the thrilling fight of the Mills to stay alive maintained interest in the Maritime Major (Big Six) Hockey League right to the wire. Going into the final week of the record-breaking 90-game schedule, three places in the four-team playoff scheme had been definitely settled. Saint John Beavers took the ton snot more than a fortnight ago. A week later Charlottetown Islanders clinched second place. Three defaulted games by the defunct Moncton Hawks put Halifax St. Mary’s third. That left fourth place open.
