...which he later said: "If I hadn't seen that Bill was there, I would have kept the puck myself." Bill was Bill Cook, oldest active player on the Rangers, leading scorer of the National League, finishing what he thinks may be his last season of hockey before he retires to his Saskatchewan wheat farm. He took the puck without breaking his stride, feinted to bring tall Lome Chabot away from the Toronto net, then flipped the puck over Chabot's shoulder for the goal that ended the game 1 to 0, the series...
Smallest player on the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team is their reserve right wing, 137-lb. Ken Doraty. In a way his insignificant appearance is an advantage: opposing defensemen find it hard to be prepared for the sudden bursts of speed his short legs can achieve. A bigger man is a better target for a bodycheck. Last fortnight little Doraty, at the end of his first year in major league hockey, did something that should insure him more: he ended an historically long game (2 hr. 44 min. 46 sec.) by scoring the goal against the Boston Bruins that...
...three-out-of-five series 2 to i for the Rangers, who had won the first game in New York, the second in Toronto (TIME, April 17).

With the score still...
...Cycling is the hardest game in the world. Compared to it hockey is child's play. Once, when I was riding in New York, I broke three ribs on the fourth day, continued, and won. Another time I won with a broken collar bone that I smashed on the first night. But I took my prettiest spill right here in Boston. I was trying out the Arena track before a grind when I fractured my skull, broke my nose, cracked my collar bone, cut my face badly, and busted my jaw in three places. I didn't enter that race...
...Maple Leafs had a crack team of seasoned players. Charlie Conacher, 23-year-old forward, seemed to have ended his career three years ago when he had to have a kidney removed. He plays in a leather harness which has not prevented him from developing the hardest shot in hockey, surpassing his famed brother Lionel, defense player for the Montreal Maroons. Lean, morose goalie for the Maple Leafs is Lome Chabot, who has worn the same pair of lucky trousers in every hockey game for five years. The Maple Leafs' chief handicaps were injuries to three of their ablest...
