IROOKLYN EAGLE, THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 1941 19 r-, 3 -hi ft Interboro Feud Assumes Frappe Setting Tonight New York Rangers Slight Choices Over Brooklyn Americans in First Meeting of Season on Garden Ice Tonight's th night Xor the first battle on Ice between New York and Brooklyn. And can't help wondering what It will be like. A hockey rink isn't like a baseball park. Brooklyn and New York residents, even when spying a ball park for the first time, seem to know instinctively to which side they must go.

When th Brooklymtes storm the Polo Grounds for either baseball or football they Just naturally cluster, or clutter, the first base side. When the Giants' rooters invade Brooklyn for baseball, they seemed to know I A 'IPS. Jl "THE ONLY TIME I disagree with Mr. MacPhail," safd Dixie Walker, "is when it comes contract time. I hope to spend my remaining days in baseball in Brooklyn.

I'd never want to play with any other club." "LOSING THE WORLD SERIES left the Dodgers with an incentive that they might not have retained had they beaten the Yankees," was Red Barber's contribution. "Now the team has another target to shoot at." "YOU CAN'T stand pat in baseball or you'll miss the parade," was part of Larry MacPhail's talk before 250 members of the Brooklyn Rotary Club at the Hotel Bossert yesterday.

BANKS ON EX-SCHOLASTIC ACES Loss of Six Players Puts Coach Donnelly In Tough Spot to Carry on Brilliant Record Fine Gives Fast Chess Exhibition Disposes of 18, Allowing One Draw, In Hour-and-Half Simultaneous Test By HERMANN HELMS Whereas Jose R.

GOULD Quietly and unobstrusively, I Parish club has methodically piling one of the finest basketball records of any team in the metropolitan area. A glance at last year's record reveals a number of astonishing feats. They are noting. I that the third-base aide is theirs. But in a hockey rink who knows? Idea Has Taken Hold The Idea of a Brooklyn-New York rivalry has taken hold.

There were Brooklynltes, and former Brooklynites, at the Americans' pome the other night who never saw hockey played outside Brooklyn. Just where it will lead to there's no telling. But there's also Bo doubt that a considerable gflrt ef what Is developed will come HOCKEY STANDING Goal" r. a. Team Toronto Chicago w.

Boston at Chicago. from th early meetings of the Americans and Rangers. As far as the actual hockey is concerned, the Rangers, even though still behind the Americans in the standings, should have the edge tonight. Principally because there are so many Rangers who, at least, have played together a great deal. Lester Patrick, in the recent battles against Boston and Toronto, changed around much of the old order.

But even at that those Rangers are far better acquainted than the Brooklyn lads. Some of this advantage in experience will be offset by the addition of some speed to the Brooklynltes. This new sip isn't much. But there's some and that's a help. Such rugged workers as the veteran Pat Egan, a two-fisted, ever-willing scrapper, and Ed Anderson, the hawk-nosed one who has been on the puck every second this year, are Interesting figures.

But If these Americans are going to get anywhere it will have to be through the efforts of the kids like Benson, veteran of one year, and even younger ones like Branigan, Knott and Hill. Branigan is really Just a kid. He's only 18. And tall for his age. He's a.

worker, this boy. And when he puts on a little weight he'll be a tough "un to handle. Nick Knott is a fancy boy with the stick. He's the one who already this year has slapped in two goals from a face-off. Hill looks like a handy lad to have around when he finds some combination he can fit Into.

Our Brooklyn Americans got off to a better than usual start. They're right in the middle of the standings now. But tonight's the night that tells whether they are up to fl.v. If the Rangers win, the name New York goes on top. Of course If the Americans win, that's another and more interesting story.

TROST. Jimmy Hinai a ') and guys who shine in these par ticular lines of endeavor aren't as hard to find as you might think. So It's no small wonder that Nat Rogers, Mike Jacobs' press agent, is slightly more than excited over the Garden match tomorrow night which brings together Al Hostak, clnuoAr vith Tten lin, the fancy Dan from Richmond. Hostak was once described by Jack Dempsey as one of the great- est punchers he had ever seen. Al's professional career embraces some 114 fights and three-quarters of these ended in knockout victories.

At the time he knocked out Freddie Steele to win the N. B. A. middleweight title, he was in the midst of a kayo string that reached 18 straight before being halted. Overlin's record Is Just as Imposing as Hostak's in the number of victories, but the great majority of Ken's triumphs were scored on decisions.

He Is no kayo walloper, but his ring generalship has stamped him as the outstanding cutie of the past half-dozen years. What will happen when Overlin employs his scientific talents against Hostak's blasting tomorrow night Is something to conjure with. The experts are stringing along with Ken and he rules a slight favorite. The same contrasting styles will be observed in a companion ten-rounder which pairs Young Kid McCoy, aggressive welterweight from Detroit, with Mike Kaplan, Boston's smooth boxer. Kaplan is a boxing artist and has developed a corking left hand.

He uses it most effectively to pile up points. Mike boasts victories over Freddie Cochrane and Filtzie Zivic, current and past welterweight champs. It is understood that the winner of the -Hostak-Overlin battle will get a crack at Ous Lesnevich. the light heavyweight boss. The Kaplan-McCoy winner is slated for a chance at Ray Robinson, the sensational young Negro welterweight.

Max Joss announced today that he had signed two eights for the Broadway Arena show next Tuesday. One eight sends Maxie Shapiro against Joey Silva and the other pairs Mickey Farber with Ted Christie. against 18 opponents without losing a game.

Taking runner-up honors In the Red Hook Foundation tournament. 3. Piling up a winning streak of 34 straight, games. 4. Defeating the Parish Club of Boston in the annual Brooklyn-Boston series.

5. Beating a Manhattan C. Y. O. team which had won 110 straight i games.

Works With Limited Material On the strength of that record, Coach Robert lionnelly, working i with limited material, must be given due credit for developing team of smart and talented players. Over a period of four years, Donnelly's teams have won 191 games and lost only 23. which is well over .800 percent. His is certainly a winning habit. Off to a flying start this year, Our Lady of Perpetual Help scored seven straight victories before bowing to Xavier Club, 7260.

However, O. L. P. H. had beaten the Xaviers a week before by 15 so they still have beaten off all opposition.

It still remains to be seen whether the absence of six of last year's stalwarts will prevent O. L. P. H. from repeating their feats of last season.

What with the draft and defense industries depriving Donnelly of the services of Bill McGuire, Charlie Arrassate, Bernie Oafney, James Mullaney, Harry Spellman and Steve Oates, Donnelly has been Another Lively P. S. A. L. Cage Race in View By JAMES J.

James Madison, touted as the team to watch because it was loaded for bear with another smooth functioning quintet, had ft tough time of it on the home court last night polishing off Boys High in a prep-season warmup clash, 3329. Brooklyn Cathedral Rows i Cathedral Prep of Brooklyn dropped a decision of the type ex- pected in midseason to Cathedral Prep of New York on the latter court, 30 28. It required an extra three-minute period for the lads from across the span to win. Cleary knotted the score at 28-all and then heaved in the deciding goal in the extra session. He was easily i the star of the combat, making 16 1 points.

Close excelled for Brook- lyn. Brooklyn led at part time, 168. In another close one. Brooklyn Automotive nosed out Manual Training on the Park Slopers' court, 3129. Manny Schiller and Nat Miller were the heroes for the victors.

Midwood, a newcomer in the scholastic ranks, lost the first game the school ever played to East New York on the latter's floor, 3226. Kast New York had a 20-to-13 advantage at intermission.
