TORONTO EVENS HOCKEY SERIES Toronto Scores 5 To 1 V ictory Over Chicago Blackhawks Toronto, Ont.. Apr. 8 'J.R; The battered Chicago Black Hawks were en route home today vowing i to dispose of Toronto's Maple' Leafs in two straight and win the Stanley cup on their home ice. The Leafs crashed the Hawks 5-1 last night to even the best-of-flve final for the prized hockey trophy, at one game each. Thel Hawks won the opener. 3-1, Tuesday night. Manager Bill Stewart herded his men aboard a train immediately after the game, intent upon getting them patched up and rested l before he third game Sunday night. ■ luist night's tilt was one of the i roughest games of the playoffs, replete with fist fights. The Chi- ■ cago casualties were Louis Tru- 1 dell, who needed six stitches to ( • lose ascalp wound; Alex Lavin- . sky and Roger Jenkins, who each | required two head stitches, and Doc , Romines. whose nose was broken. , These, added to goalie Mike j Karakas. suffering from a broken f toe. and Mush March, half-lame , with a charlie horse and other , bruises, made the Hawks fine candidates for an entire hospital , ward. Karkas and March were sent home Wednesday night for . treatment. Only mishap suffered by the ( Leafs last night was the broken thumb of Murray Chamberlain. Manager Connie Smythe put his boys aboard a chartered bus and ' took them to a resort hotel 60 miles ' out of Toronto immediately after the game. They will rest until noon tomorrow and then leave for Chicago. -. O ( Indianapolis Seeks Purdue-I. U. Classic i Indianapolis, nd..

Late varieties were reported only “thinned" which shoul 1 have sen done by hand later in the spring anyway. It was believed by manv that the wheat crop was not damaged ..nd possibly was helped by the extra moisture. Oats will lie damaged because farmers will be delayed a week or more past the usual time to get the seed in the ground and late oats usually do not lw*ar as well as those sown early in the spring. Only a very small part of the oats crop had been sown. A large percentage et the farmers had their ground in shape for the oats and it must now be reworked. Doubt has been expressed as to the condition of the oats already in the ground, it being believed that seeds, which had sprouted would not be damaged, while those which had not sprouted would e -subject to rot. Walter Gilliom, county highway superintendent said today that the county highway system had not been greatly damaged by the wdhther. In most places the ice and sleet failed to stick to the pavements. Because of a lack of ice on tha streets, roads and sidewalks, no usual number of accidents was reported. RFC Lending Powers Expansion Granted Washington.

Fla., Apr. 8. — [ (U.F.: Two horses, a German, and an Alabama negro boy figure to : . produce a brace of Al Fresco spec- ; 1 taeles this summer that should es- , tablish a new. all-time tor betting [ in this country. |( The two horses are War Admiral ', and Seabiscuit. The German is , Max Schmeling and the negro boy from Alabatn . Joe Louis. laU the ( Admiral and the Biscuit meet in | their proposed match race at Bel- j mont park, and Max and Joe swing , , it out for tile heavyweight title. ( ' and tens of millions will change hands. Two more "naturals" for betting never existed. I know this, bejcause in ray transcontinental sports wanderings of the past six months. 1 didn't talk to a sports page reader who wasn't vitally interested in ' finding out which was the better 1 horse, which the better man. I didn't meet a person who didn't have a very decided opinion of his i own on the merits of the parties I concerned, which is the important betting angle. For every man who thought Sea- | biscuit s better times proved he : was tops on the turf, there was a ■ man who pointed to the Admiral’s i all-winning record and said you i couldn’t go past it. Send these two to the post and all records for 1 wagering on a match race will be smashed to smithereens. But if you want to hear some high-class arguing just travel around and take 1 a definite tand on either Louis or Sthmeling. There must be fully 25.000.000 citizens in this country who will drop whatever they are i doing to give their reasons why Sthmeling is a cinch to knock Joe out in six or seven round's this time, or why Lulls can’t miss evening things up with a left hook or a right hand punch. The two schools are just about I equally divided in numbers. When ; and if these two chaps step in the ring there won’t be enough nonbettors in these United States to make a fourth at bridge. The wagering mark established by the second Dempsey-Tunney fight (and that was no penny ante scrap) will go by the boards. To cause heavy ! wagering, a fight must have many angles. Well, Louis and Sehmel- ' i ing present more angles than Mae West photographed against a background of Chinese pagodas. On BUCHER Tin Shop ALL KINDS OF " ROOFING, TINNING and SPOUTING.

Schmeling’s side there are the angles of experience, stamina, courage, condition, and past performance. to name a few. On Lpuis’ side one can list a devastating punch, increased ring craft, youth, continued activity, and a deseire for revenge. Add to these the rumors that always surround a- heavyweight fight. Racial pride, and all the others, and you have not only a natural, but a natural natural. In case yop would like to make an early parlay on the two events, my choices are Seabiscuit over Louis at a mile and a quarter, and Schmeling over War Admiral, provided Schmeling is given the first punch.

Because it is universally accepted that speeds which are reasonable and safe on concrete become dangerous on other surfaces. To save lives, to prevent accidents . . . demand concrete all the way. True and even, it has no high crown—is usable to its full width. Brakes are at their best on its gritty non-skid surface. Its light gray color and sharply defined edges give high visibility at night.
