6 MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1972 Rangers Stem Boston - Tide in Upset Triumph By ALLAN R. BRUCE UPI Sports Writer BOSTON ° (UPD Coach Emile Francis put it bluntly to the New York Rangers between periods: \You've got four guys out there that saved the game for you, now go out and win it.\ The Rangers were listening, © especially Bobby Rousseau, the Sfoot-10 center who hadn't scored in his last 22 games against the Boston Bruins. Rousseau was the unlikely hero of Tuesday night's 3-2 win by the Rangers that trimmed Boston's lead in the best-of- seven Stanley Cup Champion- ship series to three games to two and kept the hopes of New York alive for the Rangers' first National Hockey League: title in 32 years. '\ Rousseau scored twice in the third period to lift the Rangers from a 21 deficit to the winning margin. ' Series Shifts to New York The series now shifts back to New York City for the sixth game on Thursday night with the Bruins still needing just one more victory to wrap it up and dip into the champagne they had on ice at Boston Garden. A seventh game in. the series, if needed, would be played here Sunday night. \The Cat (Francis) told me between the second and third periods that I was going to center Teddy (Irvine) and Bruce (MacGregor),\ Rousseau said. \He told me that I had been passing the puck too much and that I had to concentrate on shooting a little more.\ So - Rousseau paid more attention to his shooting and scored on two of his three opportunities | in - the - final Giants Demand Mets Players for NEW YORK (UPI)-The New York Mets may still end up with Willie Mays, but the San Francisco Giants are going to have to lessen their demands if it is to happen. The deal, which would have sent the 41-year-old superstar to the Mets, temporarily fell through Tuesday when ' the Giants demanded a couple of players, instead of money, in exchange. \Horace (Stoneman) wants players, not money,\ said M. Donald Grant, chairman of the board of the Mets. \After consulting with Bob Scheffing (Mets' general manager) and Yogi Berra (field manager) I told Stoneham it is improbable the Mets could provide the personnel he needs.\ The Giants, mired in last place in the National League West, reportedly asked for utility infielder Ted Martinez and a pitcher, eithér John Matlack or Jim McAndrew, in exchange for Mays, Since Mays' days as a player are numbered, the Mets considered the Giants' request way out of line. - . Both Grant and Stoncham agreed to leave the door epen, but both said that no deal would be consummated: unless Mays agreed to finish out his playing days in New York. . __ \We want to be sure Mays wants to come here,\ said Grant. \The most important thing to be developed before any further talks are Willie's reaction to coming to the Mets and the conditions attached to such a move. It is our position that he will be happy to come to the Mets. Kf he won't be, that's it. We don't want a dissatisfied player on ourclub.\ Mays, who has always had an affection for New York since he spent the first five years of his career here, said he would like to finish his career in San Francisco but that he had no objections to being traded to the Mets! Willie, however, is a bit upset with the Giants' management about how the * whole thing has been handled. ''Mr. Stoncham never even Willi mentioned any deal he was thinking about with me,\ said Mays. \All I know is what I hear from the news people. Look, I've played most of my career in San Francisco and that's where I want to finish my playing days. I'm happy in San Francisco. ' \Now they're telling me that the talk of the trade is completely off. I wonder why? I'm informed it is because the Giants have asked for too many Mets players, or maybe too much from the Mets. But of course all this is hearsay. It's only what I pick up from people.\ The Mets and Giants have until June 15, the trading deadline, to decide on Mays. Rain And Wet | Fields Plague Mini-Leaguers Rain and wet fields combined to wash out all four Mini-League \ games scheduled for last Thurs- day night and one of the games on Friday night. TheCards and Giants set up their Thursday rain-out for play as a double- header on Saturday but were again rained out. The Rotary Cards behind Tom Wilson's 15 strike-out pitching took the K of C Mets 7-1 on Fri- day night and came back on Saturday with 15 more strike- outs by Mike Little to defeat Towne Buick Angels 10-2. St. Mary's Padres have fallen two games behind schedule and p have planned make-up games.

Practice as often as you can. The more you throw, the stronger your arm will get. Every time you throw, grip the ball across the seams where the seams are the widest. This will help to - keep the ball from sailing. Throw the ball straight overhand; that way you can throw harder and more ac- curately. Work on accuracy first, then on speed. When throwing to another player, . try to hit him chest-high. -__ When fielding a ball, al- : ways charge it if you can. E & After fielding the ball, re- lease it as quickly as pos- sible. One quick stride \is enough. . Always know ahead wher you're going to throw the ball after you field it.

The first came at 2:56, tying the game at 2-2 -on a fairly soft 25-footer that Boston goalie Eddie Johnston! got a glove on, then lost. His second score, the! game- winner, \hit Johnston's right forearm and then went in,\ - Rousseau said. That put the Rangers on top with 7:15 left in the game. I The Turning PoinL Francis felt the turning point in the game came late in the second period when two Ran- gers-defenseman Gary Doak and center Walt Tkaczuk-were in the penalty box (for an overlapping span of 1}29 and the Bruins failed to score. \We had just three guys out there with (goalie |Gilles) Villemure for the whole time and they did a heck of a job in killing off the penalties,\ Francis said. - . \Villemure made four or five real great saves and the other three guys-Brad Park, Dale Rolfe and Bruce MacGregor- stopped the Boston | power play,\ Francis said. \And you know these guys have |got the best power play in the league.\ \That had to be the turning point in the game,\ | 1 said. \So I went in the dr room and said you've got four guys out there that saved the game for you, now go lout and win it.\ | \Our club was tight for some reason,\ Boston Coach Tom Johnson said. \You could see it when we had that two-man advantage. We couldn't do anything with it. They had the best scoring opportunities.\ ~ MAJOR LEAGUE STAND/”ya By United Press Interilational‘ National League East w. I1. pct. g.b.

(UPI)-One more race, maybe two, and it could be all over. He would then become a legend.. If Canonero II has any idea of this at all, or how big a bearing these next three weeks will have on his future, he doesn't show it. All he does is keep chewing his feed here in Barn No. 1 at Belmont Park. - You have to be a bit careful around his stall. He still likes to nip people. \Not trying to bite anybody's hand off,\ says trainer W.J. \Buddy\\ Hirsch. \Just play- lng.” Hirsch stroked the brow of the big four-year-old bay who won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness last year before coming up with leg trouble and talked about the last time Canonero II had gone to the post. , \It's a month less 'than a year now,\ he said. \A couple of times since I didn't think there was much chance of him going back to the races, but I think he's ready now. I put him in the Carter Handicap on May 20 here, and I hate to start him out in a seven-eigths of a mile race, but what I'm trying to do is aim him for the Metropolitan Handicap on the 29th. That's a flat mile. I think he's got a chance to be the horse he was again, a chance. If he runs in these races though and shows he's not up to them, then that probably will be it. He has too much of a future in stud to risk any permanent injury.\ Fails in Bid Canonero II failed in his bid for a Triple Crown when he finished fourth in the Belmont ' and although the horse was found to be suffering from an infected hock, Robert Kleberg of the King Ranch still bought him from his previous owners for #200 0C0CoC \It took a long time for that hock to go down,\ says Hirsch. \ 'It's still not really 100 per cent, but if you weren't looking | PRE- On Your Care -. for it you wouldn't know it. That infection he had was as big as a tennis ball. He never went on the race track all this time. He just walked and grazed and we showered him. It was as if he were in a hospital. As the boys around the barn say, he was a headache.\ - ' Canonero II never even galloped until the end of last September. * Then he had some other troubles. Once he grabbed his quarter and took a little piece out of that. Then he developed a skin infection. And shortly #efore being shipped to Santa Anita in December he came up with a strained suspensory muscle. That meant he couldn't run at Santa Anita, and the fans there were so disappointed that racing officials asked Kleberg whether Canonero I couldn't at least gallop a quarter mile between races one day. The horse did, and it was estimated some 2,500 added fans turned out that day. \He's a nice horse to train,\ says Hirsch, who also handles 34 others. \He's spirited, but not what you'd call high spirited. He's the kind of horse that gets your eye with that fine head of his and those shoulders. You walk through this barn and you see a lot of horses, but he's the one who'll catch your eye.\ Shies Away from Prediction Hirsch shies away from predicting how far back Can- onero II will} come, or whether he'll even come back at all. \It all depends on his soundness,\ he says. \If his legs hold up I think he has a good chance of coming back and being a top handicap horse. How sound do I think he is now . \ Hirsch stopped to mull that one over a moment ... \I'd say 80 per cent.\ Since- his original injury, Canonero II has been receiving many letters of advice. Hirsch reads them all for him. Some people. even send in their own medicines. Most merely want a picture of the horse which ranked as one of the most popular ever a year ago and still hasn't been forgotten, Riva Ridge or not. A typical letter from a Jersey City woman arrived here the other day. It was addressed to Hirsch and it said: \I'm writing to ask you if you could send me a picture of Canonero II, one that I can frame and keep in my office. One more thing, would you please inscribe it 'To Audrey' and sign it-then I can brag.\ ' The Difference - Touch football differs from regular football in that the - ball carrier can be \downed\ merely by touching him. It can be played by any num- ber of players and on a field of almost any size. Dayton Thorobred. | PREMIUM T8 Outstanding Quality, Performance.
