Dynamic Detroit

Detroit's Board of Commerce which adopted the slogan "Dynamic Detroit" was mildly embarrassed when its city's panic precipitated the closing of all the banks in the U. S. in 1933. For the past two years, however, Detroit's sportsmen have cooperated with the reviving automobile industry in making the boast sound somewhat less preposterous. In addition to the best baseball team (Detroit Tigers), best professional football team (Detroit Lions) and, in the opinion of experts, the best prizefighter (Joe Louis) in the U. S., the city contains the Detroit Red Wings who were last week engaged in a three-out-of-five game series for the Stanley Cup, battered emblem of the world's hockey championship.

After running away with the first two games, 3-to-1 and 9-to-4, on their home rink, the Red Wings went to play the Toronto Maple Leafs on theirs. With seven minutes left the Red Wings, ahead by 3-to-0, loafed. The Maple Leafs promptly scored three goals, the third 42 seconds before the series would otherwise have ended, won the game, 4-to-3, in overtime. Chastened, Detroit's Red Wings settled down to work in the fourth game, won it 3-to-2 for the series and their first world's championship.
