Teams. The New York Rangers and the Toronto Maple Leafs whom they nosed out for last season's Stanley Cup (league championship) are again the favorites this year. Besides retaining their crack regulars-Ching Johnson, Frank Boucher, Bill & Bun Cook, who have been with the team since 1926-the Rangers have acquired two notable recruits. One is a defense man named Jean Pusie who played with Vancouver and was last year's high scorer in the Western Canada League. Pusie is 23, has a cauliflower ear from professional wrestling, never plays without his "lucky cap." The other recruit...
...stretch last week at Rockingham Park Race Track (near Salem, N. H.) the urchin who was riding Quick Step scarcely heard the crowd at the rail yelling, "Come on, Westrope." Jockey Westrope paid more attention to the pounding of hoofs coming up closer and closer behind him, made by Bun D, with Jockey Porter up. He drew his whip, leaned forward in his stirrup, almost lifted Quick Step across the finish line-still ahead by barely a nose. It was the second race that Jockey Westrope had won that afternoon. It brought his record for the year to 226 winners...
...Budapest (Fox). The most important things in this picture are. of course, the animals-forlorn tigers prowling in their tiny cages, a blackfaced grey gibbon nibbling a bun with sophisticated gestures, a stampeding elephant who wrecks the lion house. But the people are exciting too. There is a sentimental young attendant (Gene Raymond) who amuses himself when lonely by holding long talks with the chimpanzees and who burns as many fur neckpieces as he can steal from visitors. There is a girl (Loretta Young) who, facing a five-year occupational school course in hide-curing, runs away one day when...
...three of the remaining four, all to be played on their home rink. The excited Madison Square Garden crowd was throwing newspapers, programs, orange peels, cigarets, candy-wrappers on the ice when the swift pendulum that is the pattern of a close hockey game paused for a moment as Bun Cook of the Rangers scored the first goal. Cecil Dillon of the Rangers scored the second, a minute later, before the first period was three-quarters over. That settled the game. Discouraged as well as tired, the Maple Leafs played unsuccessfully defensive hockey for the next two periods. Dillon...
...unusual in that he is a member of a second-string forward line that was supposed to be weak. In the preliminary series against the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings, he had helped eclipse the Rangers famed first-string forwards (Frank Boucher and the Cook brothers. Bill & Bun). Almost as surprising as the performance of Dillon last week was the work of the Rangers' youthful, mop-haired, talkative goaltender, Andy Aitkenhead. A recruit this year, replacing convivial John Ross Roach, he had stopped all but nine of 137 shots in five games. To defend their championship...
