Displaying the comeback spunk that carried it thru a wild finish to the National league title, Detroit bounced back in a tremendous hockey battle to take a one game lead in the semi-final Stanley cup series. A crowd of 14,927, the second largest in Olympia stadium this season, gnawed finger nails to the nub as the Hawks twice pulled 2 to 1 and 3 to 2.

But the end the Hawks succumbed to late last period goals, 4 to 3. But even in defeat, the Hawks were a great team, playing superb hockey. Of them tonight, it could be said they were not whipped nor beaten. They only lost the echo of this battle should make itself evident in the second game of the best-out-of-seven series here Sunday night. Golden Jet Flies Again Hawk hero of this robust bat tle was Bob Hull, hockey's Golden Jet, who moved like the complete player.

It was the first game the Hawks have been at full strength since Feb 6 when Bob Baun, Toronto de-fenseman, checked Hull's right knee -out of commission. Since then others Eric Nesterenko, Chico Maki, and Pete Pilote became infirm and reduced the team to third placers. Tonight tho, everyone was healthy, and Hull became the leader. He, along with Pilote, Elmer Vasko, Al MacNeil, Matt Ravlich, Doug Jarrett, Bill Hay, Maki, and Nesterenko tossed teeth-rattling checks at the Red Wings. But mostly it was Hull, Continued on page col.

Biggie Munn. Anderson will remain with the university, the specific assignment to be determined at a later date, Munn said. "It was a most difficult decision for me to make," Munn said.

Maris Posts Bond After Bar Battle Fort Lauderdale, April 1 W) Right Fielder Roger Maris of the New York Yankees was charged with assault and bat tery tonight as the result of an alleged fight in a Fort Lauder dale bar. Maris appeared at the police station with Manager Johnny Keaoe of the Yankees and posted $200 bond. A hearing was set for Tuesday. The charge was filed by Jerome Modzelewski, 25, of Fort Lauderdale, who said the fight occurred last night. Details of the alleged altercation were not known.

BY RICHARD DOZER Chicat Tribww Press Service Sarasota, April 1 The seventh imiing today never really happened.

It was just a gigantic April Fool's joke! But those who insist that it did unfold proclaimed that the Chicago White Sox those slick fielding dandies committed five errors while the St. Louis Cardinals scored four times in the inning. Then, if there are any believers left, they declare that the White Sox did not get any help from St Louis errors in the home half of the same inning and scored nine runs while 14 men came to' the plate. Biggest Sox Inning And, you know something? They're right. Furthermore, the Sox parlayed their biggest inning of the spring into an 11 to 9 victory over the chagrined Cardinals, and- Manager Al Lopez wasn't even there to see it.

Lopez left moments after the Cardinals had jumped upon John Buzhardt for four runs in the first inning, including a two-run homer by Phil Gag-liano. Al wasn't on hand to see ex-Cub Lou Brock loft a "wrong-field" homer which a stout wind carried over the fence in left in the fifth inning. -It wasn't that Lopez couldn't bear to watch. He had a previous engagement to meet with an internal revenue man regarding his income, which, it must be assumed, is the largest of anyone in the baseball employ" of Owner Arthur Allyn. Locker Permits Run Anyway, Brock's homer made it 5 to 0, and it was noteworthy too, that this became the first run surrendered by Rookie Bob Locker this spring.

Locker is the tall right-hander who, one of these days, will get the glad tidings that he has been pro moted to the Sox varsity from Indianapolis. Brock's home run was the only hit off Locker, who pitched three innings two of them per fectly. In 14 innings thus far he has yielded only seven hits. Brock explained that he had been pulling the ball too much because he was "too strong" this spring. Today he was just weak enough, perhaps.

He has employed a heavier bat "so I won't get around on the ball too quickly'. Ward Kits Homer Bob Gibson was sailing along on the wings of a shutout until he began to tire in the sixth inning. Pete Ward, who ran the gamut of success and failure on this 80-degree day, reached Gibson for a two-run homer which wind carried over, the Continued on page 5, col. 1 -whose defensive lapses led to en 9 65 Season on Coast BY COOPER ROLLOW The Chicago "Bears, their troubles of last year forgotten, will try to find a new lease on National Football league life next September on the west coast. They'll begin their annual pursuit of the western division title in San Francisco Sept 19.

i The N. F. L. yesterday an nounced a 98-game, 1965 program beginning on the last Sunday the summer and climaxed by the title game Jan. 2, 1966.

The Bears havejrt opened in California since 1962. After the debut against the 49ers this year, they'll remain on the coast to meet the Itams the following Saturday night in Los Angeles. Home Debut Oct. 10 The Bears' schedule contains these other high points: 1. The Bears play only three road games before coming home to Wrigley field, instead of four as in recent years.

Los Angeles will be the Bears' opponent in the home opener Oct. 10. 2. The first regular season meeting of the Bears and their old cross-town rivals, the Cardinals, since the south siders moved to St. Louis in 1960 will climax a four-gamehome stand in late October and early November.

Green Bay's Packers will open at Pittsburgh, then return to their Milwaukee home away from home to meet the Colts Sept 26. It will be the first time the Packers have played a regular season game in Mil waukee before opening in Green Bay. Besides Pittsburgh, the Packers meet Dallas out of the division.

m. 1,800 Watch Hawks' 1st TV Experiment The Chicago Black Hawks' first experiment with closed circuit television last night in Chicago Stadium, where hockey regularly draws more than 16,000, was something less than an unqualified success. An audience estimated at 1,800, many of whom reportedly were guests of the management, watched the Hawks' opening 4 to 3 Stanley cup loss to the Red Wings in Detroit on a large four-sided screen. Pickets outside the Stadium, protesting substitution of paid TVJor free home telecasts, carried signs reading "Unfair To Hockey" and "Don't Bite The Hand That's Feeding You." Inside, the crowd was orderly, but enthusiastic. The fans lighted cigarets after every Hawk goal.

They laughed when the game was stopped in the third period to clear the ice of debris. The expensive receiving equipment installed for the event did not function with complete efficiency. The voice of announcer Lloyd Pettit often was muffled. In Detroit, approximately 4,000 fans watched the game on the Wings' closed circuit theater television hookup. Canadiens Win, 3 to Lead Series MONTREAL, April 1 (CPIV Bobby Rousseau scored midway in the third period tonight to give Montreal a 3 to 2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs after the Canadiens had lost a two-goal lead in their opening game of the National Hockey league Stanley cup series.

Rousseau got the winner less than two minutes after the Leafs had come alive with two quick goals on shots by Dickie Moore, the ex-Canadien, and Defenseman Carl Brewer. Jean Beliveau put Rousseau in over the blueline and the little right winger skirted by Brewer and in on Toronto Goalie Johnny Bower. The elderly goalie, who admits to 41 but may be close to 45, appeared to err in coming out to stop Rousseau. The Canadiens dominated the game except for Toronto's brief flurry. They scored twice in the first period on goals by Henri Richard and Ralph Back-strom and might have doubled the margin but for the fine work of Bower.

Douglas Thrown Out The Leafs chose to come out hitting at the start and appeared more interested in fighting than playing hockey. They lost Defenseman Kent Douglas at 11:02 when Referee Vera Buffey tossed him out of the game with a match penalty and an automatic $100 fine for clubbing Dave Balon with his stick In the rough and tumble Continued on page 2, col. 4 (David.

Stephen Cox THIS SPORT was originated by men growing mildewed in jails because they could not pay debts. A few hundred years later, it is almost solely for social set sweatmen in plush private clubs. As we railbirds understand it, the modern rules start: "Take one strong bankroll, a racquet, a ball 4." engagement, incidentally, drew more space in Chicago newspapers than did Stephen's racquets success in New York. FRANK MENKE'S "Encyclopedia of Sports" says that racquets was introduced to our town in-1893, at the Chicago Athletic association. Cox says: "Today the only Chicago courts I know are the Racquet club in N.

Dearborn street and the University club." This son of William Cox, a Chicago industrialist, guesses that, since courts are so expensive, many were casualties of the depression. Basic rules, as told by Menke, say: "The racquets court is an enclosed rectangular space of 60 feet by 30 feet, with front and side playing walls 30-feet high and the back wall extending up 15 feet a wooden board is fixed to the bottom of the front wall, extending 27 inches up from the floor. This is known as the telltale and the ball must be hit above it to be fair." There is a ball, of course. And the racquet, which is "30 inches long, weighs 8 or 10 ounces, and has a circular head with a diameter of 7 or 8 inches." It is simple: racquets is sort of a combination handball, tennis, jai-alai, and 100-yard dash. BUT UNDERSTAND this the fast game of racquets is not to be confused with squash racquets or squash tennis.

We may have confused you by mentioning these games. "Squash is a game you can just take up," explains Cox. It is much The squash racquet is about three inches shorter. You can go out with any other fellow and have an interesting squash game. "Racquets is a far advanced level of play.

More scrambling. It is a game of "Ill illustrate the difference: I might use' only one or two squash racquets in a year. In racquets, however, I've used as many as 50, and they cost $12.50 each. "The speed of the ball, in a racquets game, frequently exceeds 150 miles per hour." Not long ago more than 50 balls might be used in a match of racquets, according to Menke, who described the ball: an inch in diameter and made of strips of cloth tightly wound over each other and bound with twine, over-which is sewn a kid covering." Times have changed, says Cox. Today, the racquets ball is made of a solid chunk of plastic, and covered with adhe-: sive.

The adhesive, as it becomes worn, is replaced, "The club owns the balls, and retapes them as needed," -explains Cox. i'So, the cost of balls isn't a factor any more; not nearly as expensive as tennis." Meanwhile, it is nice that Chicago does have one national champion. As you all must know, our, town's last racquets-champion in 1909 was Harold F. McCormick. I It's been a long time between drinks.

The almcoft unknown game is "racquets," one of sport's fastest bits of competition. Now, for the first time since 1909, the national crown belongs to a native Chicagoan. is five-foot five-inch tall Stephen Cox, a 125-pound Northwestern university medical student who did not take up the sport until he had graduated from Princeton. Last month, in-New York, Cox won the United States amateur champion-shio with a final round conquest of MOON rolULLlTJS wteMQeFtt I MfK THOSE THE MAYAN WfclTlMG YET jKMZQ lJ(StP Peter Read, the defending champion. Earlier, Cox had captured the United States open championship by defeating a professional, Jack Johnson, in finals in Boston.

While it admittedly is pleasant to be branded best in the United States, the 23-year-old Cox concedes: 'There are at least 10 Englishmen better than America's top players. The game is strongest in England." Cox hopes to meet some of these English greats, in their home lair, late this summer. But he will need approval. The pause in England will be part of a honeymoon trip; Cox and Miss Barbara Foster Clarke of Clarendon Hills are to be wed Aug. 27 in Hinsdale.
