LaBine's Goal Enables Bruins to Tie Toronto; Celtics Top Syracuse

Leo LaBine's goal-mouth rebound shot with one second to play pulled Boston into a 3-3 National League tie with Toronto yesterday at the Garden. It was the second dramatic finish for the Bruins in two days.

The Bruins just had time to save the game and LaBine turned the trick when a Larry Regan shot bounded off Maple Leaf goalie Ed Chadwick right onto Leo's stick.

The Boston Celtics opened up a lead late in the first period and protected it all the way for a 118-95 National Basketball Assn. victory over the Syracuse Nationals yesterday before a Boston Garden crowd of 7,091.

Boston's lead mounted to 13 points on two occasions in the third period, but Syracuse kept chipping away and narrowed the gap to four, 87-83, shortly after the fourth period began.

At this point, Bill Russell ignited the Celtics by scoring eight consecutive points. Within three minutes Boston's lead soared to 19 points as Frank Ramsey, Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman added spectacular baskets.

New York's balanced scoring attack defeated Minneapolis 109-106 yesterday despite Laker Dick Garmaker's tying of three National Basketball Assn. records.

Garmaker hit 23 points in the third period, mostly on jump shots, to tie Bob Pettit's record for points scored in a single period.

The Philadelphia Warriors turned on the heat in the last four minutes and beat the St. Louis Hawks in a National Basketball Assn. game yesterday, 125-112.
