Esposito sparkles,
t ;Ias Hawks win, 2-0
CHICAGO (A'' - Goaltender
Tony Esposito, guarding Chi-
cago's net as if it were full of
fragile glassware, shut out
Montreal 2-0 last night in the
--ypivotal fifth game of the Na-
tional Hockey League Stanley
Cup championship.
The victory gave the Black
N Hawks a 3-2 edge in the best-
of-7 series which returns to
- Montreal for Sunday's national-
ly-televised sixth game. If a
a '9s seventh is needed, it will be
played in Chicago next Tuesday

The puck and Hull's stick ar-
rived at the same spot almost at
the same time. Dryden, with
cat-like reflexes, sprung to pro-
tect the open corner and his
skate covered the puck a mo-
ment too late as the rubber
spurted just over the line.
Esposito protected that slim
lead until halfway through the

That was all the scoring there
was to be as Esposito and Dry-

last half of the game.
The Canadiens outshot Chi-
cago in every period but Espo-
sito held them off and that was
the difference.

Canonero II to be in dark;
trainer hopes
BALTIMORE (N) - Canonero
II will be in the dark briefly
tomorrow but his trainer was
confident yesterday that the
colt will see the Preakness fin-
ish line first just as he did in
the Kentucky Derby.
The oddsmakers though had
a show-me attitude about Ca-
nonero II who, because he is a
nervous colt, will be blindfold-
ed to be put into the starting
gate.
The Derby winner was listed
at 6-1 for the second race of the
Tiple Crown series while Frank
J. Caldwell's Jim French, the
Derby runner-up was made the
early favorite at 5-. Peter Kis-
a's Executioner, who skipped
the Derby, was listed at 4-1 and
Calumet Farm's Eastern Fleet,
the fourth Derby finisher, was
put at 5-1.
"He's reany to run another
big race," said trainer Juan Ar-
ias after Canonero II, owned by
Venezuelan Edgar Caibett, and
eight other 3-year-olds were en-
tered for the 96th Preakness.
This brought the field to 11.

Sweatshirt-arsonist Taylor
to come baek after walkout
KANSAS CITY (P) - Outfield-
er Carl Taylor, who was sus-
pended Wednesday night when
he removed himself from the
Kansas City lineup after the fifth
inning of the game at Baltimore
contacted the Royals yesterday.
In a telephone call from his
home in Sarasota, Fla. Taylor
told Cedric Tallis,, Royals gener-
al manager, he hoped to take
care of personal matters and re-
turn to Kansas City within a few
days.
Tallis and Manager Bob Lem-
on said Taylor had been subject-
ed to severe personal problems,
Orr inks three
Happy-go-lucky Johnny Orr usually looks a
little worse than his normal smiling self around
this time since it is the pressure days of re-
cruiting. But Orr's grin started to return yester-
day when he announced that three top pros-
pects, C. J. Kupec, Doug Ashworth and J oh n
Kantner, would be playing their basketball for
the Michigan freshman next year.
Kupec, 6-8, 235 and capable of playing either
forward or center, led his Oaklawn, Illinois
team to the state finals and won the Most
Valuable Player honor in the tournament. He
was both Illinois All-State and All-American
in addition to gaining Academic All-American
recognition as he ranks number 21 in a class
of over 500 students. -
During the Illinois state tourney Kupec per-
sonally destroyed the fine front line of Proviso
East, the number one team in the state, and
easily won a personal duel with Owen Brown
of LaGrange, who is Lefty Dreisell's top recruit
at Maryland.
Ashworth is also a front line man, being a
6-6 forward. He played his high school ball at
Beaver Creek high in Xenia, Ohio and gained
top prep stars
All-State honors while averaging 21 points per
game. For his three year career he averaged 18
points and 14 rebounds, leading his team in both
categories every year he played. During, that
time Beaver Creek twice went to the District
Finals, once losing to Dayton Chaminade, one
of whose stars was Terry Tyler of this year's
frosh, and the other time to Dayton Dunbar.
Kantner is also from Ohio, having played his
ball at Whitmer in Toledo. A guard who is only
6-1, Kantner is a deadly shooter who averaged
36.3 to lead the tate and finished his career
as the fifth best scorer in Ohio's history. He,
like Ashworth, was All-State and also honorable
mention All-American,
But Orr, Fred Snowden and Dick Honig still
have work left and can't rest. They are still
after Kevin Grevey, the Southwest Player of
the Year in Ohio, Maurice Lucas and Ricky Cole-
man of Pittsburgh Schenley's Pennsylvania state
champs and the two best players in Michigan,
Lindsay Hairston of Detroit Kettering and Mich-
ael C. Russell of Pontiac.
Who was that last one?

including an illness in the fanii-
ly.
Tallis said Taylor would be
welcomed by management and
the players if he is in a proper
frame of mind to play baseball.
Taylor burned his sweatshirt
after the game and left the club-
house Wednesday night.
"He is worried about his
mother, who is critically ill,"
Tallis said. "He is worried about
his hitting."
Tallis also said "He's not mad
at the club, he's not mad at
Manager Bob Lemon."
Lemon suspended the player
after the incident but the Royals
said they were making no move
to fill the vacancy on their ros-
ter.
Taylor figured in another inci-
dent in the first game of the ser-
ies with Baltimore. He charged
in to make a diving catch of a
fly ball and walked off the field
thinking he had made the third
putout. When the umpire ruled
the ball had been trapped Tay-
lor became enraged and ran to-
ward the umpire. His team-
mates rushed to protect the um-
pire and Cookie Rojas, Royals'
infielder was knocked to the
ground by Taylor in the excite-
ment.
In describing the incident in
the Baltimore locker room Tal-
lis said Taylor burned personal
equipment,
"It wasn't his uniform or any-
thing that was issued by the
club. He burned his personal
sweatshirt. I'm sure it was just
because he was upset at him-
self,"
Taylor, 27, played with St.
Louis last year, batting .249 in
104 games. Used sparingly this
year, he was batting .200 before
Wednesday night's game when
he was hitless in two attempts.
