: By UNITED PRESS ; The New York Rangers take the ice at Madison Square Garden tonight, 8-5 favorites to defeat the Toronto ‘Maple Leafs in the opener of their best of seven Stanley Cup finals. The Rangers won their last Stanley Cup in 1933 against the Leafs in four straight games. This series promises to end just as quickly since the Rangers lost to the Leafs only once in eight starts during the
past season. The Rangers reached the finals,
Jthe first two games of which will
be played in New York, by defeating the Boston Bruins, last year’s Cup winners, four games to two in the best-of-seven series that paired thé clubs which finished first and second over the regular season. Toronto breezed through to their berth in the Cup playoffs, defeating the Chicago Blackhawks and. Detroit Red Wings, two straight each. The Leafs will be at full strength physically as will the Rangers,

Bimelech Is Quoted af 2101, And That's All You Can Get
By JACK GUENTHER
Racing Editor
NEW YORK, April 2.—Evidently nobody bothered to . inform. the bookmakers that April Fool officially ended at midnight because the second call-over of Kentucky Derby future odds came out today and there was Bimelech—2-1, 7-10 and 2-5 to win, place or show. ° This time the joke isn’t on the suckers alone. It may sound s little like horse biting man, but the bookies don’t like the odds themselves.
The reason is that despite the record short price and despite the rumors that Bimelech’s training has been retarded by the Midwest cold wave, more money has been tossed over the counter on Col. E.R. Bradley’s horse than on all over 126 Derby eligibles combined. Take it or leave it, the new quotation is all you can get. For a few days after the books opened Bimelech was 3-1 and for almost two weeks he was 2%-1. But if you judge by the play the hard-boots are giving the book operated by veteran James J. Carroll of St. Louis, the price of the Idle Hour colt will sink to even money in another fortnight.
He Hasn't Left the Barn ‘Carroll's book shows the Derby as more of a one-sided event than ever before in its history. Never before has a horse opened at less than 4-1 and never before did a price drop below that figure before the horse in question went out for his first practice race. Bimelech hasn’t even quit his barn, and the Derby still is 32 days away. To balance things, Carroll has raised the price on two contenders. Call to Colors has gone up from 201 to 30-1 and Rough Pass from 15-1 to-20-1. But, on ‘the other hand, a wave of Western money has come rolling in on the West’s chief threat —C. S. Howard's Mioland—and this out-lander has been dropping as fast as a parachute jumper who forgot to pull the ring. All down the line .the contenders have been peeled and pared, but Mioland has been slashed the most. He opened at 100-1, was cut in half to 50-1 and now is 15, 6 and 3.. The only horse to match his drop is Robert E. Lee, the imported English colt who has gone down from 500-1 to 40- 1. ¥, Andy K Still 10-1 Two of the low-priced numbers have remained stationary. They are Millsdale Stable’s Andy K, who has drawn no action whatsoever at 10, 4 and 2, and Roman Flag, who hasn’t changed from 12, 5 and 2. Neb Dorsett and Quenemo now are! listed as highly doubtful starters, and here are the new figures on several of the more prominent others: Little Risk from 60-1 to 30Prompt Pay from 50-1|to 20-1, Mul=titude from 60-1 to 30-1, The Rage) from - 500-1 to 200-1, 60-1 to 30-1, Jacomar from 100-1 to 40-1, Perfect Love from 1000-1 to 200-1, 'Cockerel from [100-1 to 40-1 and Potranco from 10

McMillen Tops Mat Show
Jim ‘MoMillen's appearance features the four-bout. all-star wrestling card of the Hercules A. C., tonight at the Armory. McMillen, showing here for the first time this season, goes against John (Powerhouse) Granovich, 245, rugged New Yorker. Granovich went over big in a series of tussles here a year ago. Jim scales 235 and is from Chicago. He is listed among the first five in the heavyweight division. An Armory favorite, Dorve Roche, 222, of Decatur, Ill, lines up against Alabama Bill Lee, 239, grid star, in the semi-windup. Both turned in victories last week. ‘The Great Mephisto, 182, Newark, provides the test for Morris Shapiro, 185, Jewish grappler from New York, while Don McIntyre, 222, Kansas, grips with Juan Humberto, 226, Mexico, in the opener. It is the highly touted Shapiro's first local match.
Tilden Ready To Turn Tutor
HOLLYWOOD, April 2 (U. P.).— Big Bill Tilden, who outlasted the champions of his era and still beats many of the present crop, was about ready today to hang up his
tennis racquet to beconie a teacher. After nearly two decades of heavy firing in the tennis wars, Tilden said that active participation in the game would be secondary from now on. He will conduct his own tennis ‘school at a swanky West Side hotel as soon as the West Coast professional championships are ended. “I'll probably give most of my time to the school, although I don’t intend to hang up my racquet: for good,” "he said between practice rounds for the tournament. .
He’s Still Dangerous
“I'm going to compete in but two or three major matches in. the year and then devote the rest of the time to helping some of these young prospects get started in the right way,” he added. Despite his 47 years and the streaks of gray through his thin-
1 ning black hair, the tireless Tilden
still keeps his opponents in danger with the same blistering services and returns that brought him almost every conceivable amateur honor during the Twenties. A ranking professional since 1930 and al-
|ways a serious threat in any tourna-
ment, Tilden said it was time he
passed on the experience he has
gained in over 20 years of top fight
|| tennis.
Tennis Slipping, He Says “It’s the newcomers who are the biggest worry,” he said. “Amateur tennis has slipped alarmingly in the past few years, and I think that is due to the way the players start out. For instance, Bobby Riggs is at
| | present the "best of the amateurs,
but most of the pros will agree the only reason is that no player has shown the usual improvement to beat him.” Tilden insisted the reason few promising into champions was that in Suit formative years of playing many ‘failed to master the fundamentals perfectly and as a result thelr play was unbalanced later. “I'd like to get the ‘youngsters when they first start and train their game as they progress, when they do round out to tournament form their game won't be ragged,” he said.

As a result Indianapolis citizens began to put less faith in the birds. That’s when Mr. Copps, whose official job .is to. tell everybory about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, stepped in.

posting a team total of 1275. He landed seventh in the all-events
with money raised by Subscription in Buenos Aires.
Facts Due to Fly
Here's some other race information that rolled freely off Mr. Copps' tongue: Tickets are going at their usual fast pace. Improvements have been made on the back stretch of the track, where the guard rail has been moved back 50 feet. Kelly Petillo, one of the popular Speedway favorites, already is in town and will be making another bid this year. Fourteen new Offenhauser motors are being built for cars here. Such was the information. Joe released extemperaneously. He expects to get to work in earnest in a couple of days. Then youll really see:the facts fly.
