The Montreal Canadiens scored
three times in the first period and
once in the finale last night to
defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs
4-2 and take a 1-0 lead in the
Stanley Cup playoffs.
Henri Richard, the younger of
the Canadiens' high-scoring broth-
er act, assisted on the first three
goals and got the last one.
The first period was an explos-
ive affair with nine of the 17
minor penalties called and with
the Canadiens dominating the
scoring, although outshot 14-12.
Time and again they barged, in on,
Toronto goalie Jphnie Bower and
missed at least a half a dozen
other big opportunities.
Leaf Defense Stiffens
The Leaf defense stiffened in
the second period and the Mon-
treal attack tapered off. The two
Toronto goals fired up the Leafs
but they were balked the rest of
the way by Montreal's steady
checking,

Don Zimer of the Los Angeles

farmhands with the Houston Club

The Dodgers obtained outfielder
Lee Handley, 25; infielder Johnny
G3oryl, 28, and southpaw pitcher
Ron Perranoski, and immediately
consigned them to the Los An-
geles farm club, Montreal.
Two years ago Goryl was the

Toronto for games next Tuesday
and Wednesday.
The crowd of 14,301 saw goalie
Jacques Plant's string of shut-
out hockey ended by Leaf defense-
man Bobby Baun. Plante had
whitewashed the Chicago Black
Hawks in the final two games of
the opening series of the Stanley
Cup.
Moore Starts Scoring
Dickie Moore sent the Canad-
lens off in front in pursuit of their
fifth straight Cup championship
with a goal at 2:27 of the first
period. At 8:55 Doug Harvey made
it 2-0. Jean Beliveau boosted the
lead to 3-0 at 11:36 and it looked
as if Montreal was going to have
a runaway.
Bower, however, staved off the
Canadiens the remainder of the
period. Then in the second ses-
sion the Leafs began to dent the
Montreal defensive armor.
Baun reduced the Montreal lead
to 3-1 at 5:23 with a screened 50-
footer and Bert Olmstead drilled
home another Leaf goal at 17:35.
But from there on, Plante was
invinvible. He got a little workipg
room early in the final period
when Henri Richard scored on an
angle shot at 1:30.

Henri "Pocket Rocket" Richard (left) dazzled the Maple Leafs as
he led the Canadiens to a 4-2 victory in the first game of the
Stanley Cup playoffs. The younger brother of famed Maurice had
three assists in the deciding first period and picked up a goal in
the finale. Bob Pettit (right), regular season scoring and re-
bounding leader of the Hawks, turned in another brilliant
performance to help defeat the Celtics. He pulled down numerous
rebounds and chipped in 25 points of the Hawks' total.

AUGUSTA - Arnold Palmer, a
strong and determined young
man, fired a 5-under-par 67 over
the rain-softened Augusta Na-
tional Golf Course yesterday in a
brilliant opening for his second
Masters championship.
He is obsessed with the idea of
winning every golf tournament in
the world.
But he couldn't escape the
threat of equally persistent Ken
Venturi, who wants to win this
tournament above all others.
When the 29-year-old Palmer
seized the 18-hole lead from Fred
Hawkins of El Paso, Tex., whose
surprising 69 had temporarily held
first place, Venturi had just passed
the nine-hole turn in 31 strokes,!
5 under par. Deane Beman. the
Britisl Amateur titleholder from
Bethesda, Md., also was in a
strong contending position with a
33 on the front nine.
Par Smashed
It was one of the greatest mass
attacks on par ever recorded on
the big Augusta National course
in 24 playings of the Masters.C
The 6,850-yard, par 36-36-72
course in the Georgia hills still
was soft from rains that ended
only Tuesday. The big greens
were slower than usual and bold,
pitch shots to the pins would stop
dead - a condition seldom seen
here.
Palmer and Venturi took full
advantage of the situation. Pal-
mer started with birdies on the
first two holes, made an eagle
three at the eighth by holing out,
from a trap, then collected two
birdies on the back nine to make
up for a bogey at the 11th.
