At our last meeting, however, I don&rsquo;t believe we mentioned that Max Bentley is called Muscles byhis Leaf teammates or that Walter Broda is known as Slip more frequently than as Turk.</p><p>There are two reasons for this. One is that Walter is a slippery old gent who still manages to push past his beard often enough to outguess a number of young forwards with sheer guile. The other, less: charitable reason is that Walter is apt to slip away without paying the penny losses incurred in hearts and rummy on train trips.</p><p>Muscles, on the other hand, is called Muscles because of his alarming deficiency of muscles. That figgers.</p><p>Today&rsquo;s study group is going to deal, however, not with nicknames but with the Christian handles of those fortunate athle-tes who have nicknames.</p><h2><b>LAND OF THE COD</b></h2><p>For instance, there&rsquo;s Jerry Couture, the gangling Red Wing youngster. His square title is Gerald Joseph Wilfred Arthur Couture. And then, of course, there are: Martin Joseph Egan, John Shea Crawford, Woodrow Wilson Dumart and Ferdinand Charles Flaman of the Boston Bruins, In Boston you have to expect things like that. The brains in Boston, you are aware, are: Arthur Howey Ross and Aubrey Victor Clapper. There&rsquo;s James Meldrum Peters, too, gnawing a cod.</p><p>One of the favorite Bawstonians before he was peddled away to the Canadiens was Erwin Groves Chamberlain who, lucky for Erwin Groves, is called Murph.</p><p>Detroit has a cultural few, too.</p><p>There is Sidney Gerald Abel, Rene Fernand Gauthier, Robert Blake Theodore Lindsay and Hubert George Quackenbush.</p><p>Passed from the New York scene but still scooting in the American League are: Bryan Aldwyn Hextall, Frederick Tennyson Hunt and John Benedict O&rsquo;Flaherty, known professionally as Peahuts.</p><h2><b>NUMEROUS DUCKIES</b></h2><p>There have been a number of Skinner boys on the hockey scene for 10 years or more and all of them, it seems, are named Ducky. For all I know, they all might be the same guy and if they are their true name is Morden Huronlake Skinner, and it is small wonder they call them Ducky.</p><p>&ldquo;Morden Huronlake Skinner, you&rsquo;re off for a match misconduct,&rdquo; Francis Michael. Clancy would shout.</p><p>Mike McMahon seems like a nice blood-thirsty name for that round rogue who once played for the Canadiens and surely he never revealed that his Mama called him Michael Clarence McMahon.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

On January 2 0, playing the Canadiens in Montreal, Rangers iced seven freshmen players&mdash;probably something of a record for a team at this stage of the season. Heading the New York contingent in search of the Calder Trophy is Pentti Lund, the Flying Finn who notched 26 goals and 3 6 assists at Hershey last season, and who currently is topping the rookie point-getters.</p><p>Other Ranger hopefuls are Allan Stanley (the $75, 000 beauty), Nick Mickoski, Dune Fisher, Clint Albright, Jackie Gor-don and Fred Shero, who just gets in under the wire since he played only 19 games in 1947-48. That&rsquo;s one less than the legal limit.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-0126/957796-1-eng-US/cover-012.jpg" title="cover-01" width="300" height="455"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Pentti Lund</b></figcaption></div><h2>ACUTE SHORTAGE</h2><p>In comparison, the other teams in the league have practically no opposition to offer to the New York contingent.

SHAKEUPS, TRADES MARK AHL WEEK

<p>BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>This is do-or-die time for hockey teams, with the drive to the wire just over the horizon as leagues are well launched into the final half of the schelule. The tension is apparent in the American Hockey League especially. The pressure knocked off the lid in the past week to the tune of one Coach getting the gate and a mass trade between two other clubs in the Podoloff circuit.</p><p>Toe Blake, veteran star with Montreal Canadiens until he took over the coachreins at Buffalo this winter, was given the sack. There was vague talk of a &ldquo;mutual understanding to release Blake, but it&rsquo;s no secret, that he and Bison Manager Art Chapman weren&rsquo;t seeing eye to eye on the running of the squad. The Buffalo crew are in the cellar of the powerful Western Division, even though they have more points than all but one of the Eastern Division&rsquo;s weaker sisters, and could pull into the playoffs with a good winning streak. Chapman continued the shakeup by sending Art Lessard and Les Douglas to Hershey for Andy Branigan. Lessard has Indicated he won&rsquo;t report to Hershey and the whole deal may be off.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-044/957841-1-eng-US/cover-042.jpg" title="cover-04" width="305" height="454"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Toe Blake</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>LIONS TRADE LINE</b></h2><p>The other big news around the loop was the five-for-three trade between Cleveland Barons and. the hapless Washington Lions, who trail all 10 other teams in the league.</p><p>Cleveland got an entire forward line from the Lions in the persons of center Kenny Schults and the Porteous twins&mdash;Danny and Frank.

The ‘Dark Destroyers’ Unusual Trio

<div class="byline">By FRED ROBERTS</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Sunday, April 13th, 1947, was an unforgettable day in the minds of close to 12,000 leather-lunged hockey fans, whose privilege it was to attend one of the most thrilling encounters ever staged in the spacious Montreal Forum, home of the Canadiens.</p><p>Yet, oddly enough, those spine-tingling episodes were not supplied by the parent club, but by their No. 1 farm team, the Montreal Royals, and more particularly, by an unheralded triumvirate of colored boys and their team-mates.</p><p>The setting was perfect. on that sunny afternoon. Rovals and a so-so team called the Sherbrooke Red Raiders were teeing off in the Eastern Canada Allan Cup playoffs, a playoff that usually moves the amateur fans to mass hysteria.</p><h2><b>Favored To Win</b></h2><p>Royals had won the first game, played in Sherbrooke, by a count of 8-3. They were cinches to win the series, a three-of-five affair, and nobody was ready to bet a bob that they wouldn&rsquo;t submerge the lowly Raiders once they got them on their own stamping grounds.</p><p>The pattern seemed to follow form as Royals, a powerful outfit driven by a dynamic set of forwards, shot into a virtually unsurpassable first period lead of 4-1.</p><p>When Royals proceeded to extend the count to 6-1 in the first few minutes of the second frame, the Sherbrooke die-hards shook their heads collectively and mumbled, &ldquo;poor Sherbrooke, they tried so hard.&rdquo;</p><p>A pair of Sherbrooke goals in this canto seemed only to prolong their downfall. After all, Royals had too much strength. A valiant effort seemed destined to end in, defeat. Yet sometimes destiny walks hand in hand with Lady Luck, and on this memorable afternoon, the fair lady was to smile benevolently on the Red Raiders.</p><h2><b>Things Look Black</b></h2><p>The final period opened with the Raiders trailing 6-3. Sherbrooke&rsquo;s faithful followers were, far from the vociferous mob that had thronged into the Forum earlier in the day. They sat discontented, and resolved to their fate until it happened. And when it did, the Forum roof vibrated to their whoops and cheers.</p><p>A trio of ebony-colored windmills, fighting with all the fire and fury of prehistoric Dragons, cut loose with a barage of scoring, the likes of which astounded Royals and kept the huge gathering spellbound.</p><p>The trio, led by smooth-skating Herbie Carnegie, banged home five goals in the wild-scoring period to shoot the Raiders ahead 8-6. Two other Montreal goals were neutralized by Torpedo Tony Demers and Bernie Lauzon and the Raiders skated off the ice with an almost unbelievable 10-8 victory safely tucked away in their hip pockets.</p><h2><b>Toast Of Montreal</b></h2><p>The &ldquo;Dark Destroyers&rdquo; as they became known after that epic display of courageous hockey, were the toast of the town. When the final tally had been made their combined feat read thusly: Herbie Carnegie, two goals, three assists, Ossie Carnegie, four goals one assist, Mannie McIntyre, one goal, one assist.</p><p>Together they had amassed 12 scoring points in a 10-goal game, and seven of those points were goals. As it later turned out, Royals, with a wider range of reserves and power went on to win the series, three-games to one. They went on to win the Allan Cup from the surging Calgary Stampeders, for the second time in the history of Montreal.</p><p>Yet, fans with elephantine memories will spend many a night around a bar &ndash; room table reminscing about the feat of the Dark Destroyers. Everybody who saw that dream game will unanamously agree that the victory was most deserving.</p><p>The Carnegies and McIntyre are unique in that they represent the only colored line in the boundaries of organized hockey today. They first played as a unit around Ontario and came to the Province of Quebec during the 1944-45 season where they lined up with the Shawinigan Cataracts, then members of the Senior B, Provincial League.</p><p>The next season Shawinigan joined the Quebec Senior Hockey League and the Destroyers switched their allegiance to Sherbrooke where they played bang-up hockey under the shrewd guidance of Coach Yvan Dugre. They finished high up in the scoring bracket that season and hit even greater heights the following year.</p><p>A yen to see the world broke up the torrid trio in 1947 when Mannie McIntyre and Ossie Carnegie, both bachelors, hied off to Paris where their ability was only surpassed by their popularity. They played for the Paris Racing Club in the French Hockey League.</p><p>During their absence, Herbie, father of two children and described as the &ldquo;brain&rdquo; of the trio, picked up two new linemates and had an equally good year.</p><h2><b>Return To Fold</b></h2><p>This year Sherbrooke joined the Quebec Senior Hockey League and were badly in need of the best material available. In rebuilding, Dugre laid the foundation when he persuaded the &ldquo;Parisian&rdquo; members of his famous line to return to the fold.</p><p>Herbie and Mannie McIntyre are both 27 while Ossie is the &ldquo;Daddy&rdquo; of the trio at 31. The Carnegie brothers hail from South Porcupine, Ont., while McIntyre was raised in Devon, N.B.</p><p>In their spare time, the boys play a little baseball, a game where McIntyre excells. Playing in Ontario, he was voted the most valuable player in the league the year Phil Marchildon was signed by the Philadelphia A&rsquo;s. No mean feat at that.</p><h2><b>The Hockey News</b></h2><p>Published weekly, except monthlyMay through September, by HOC KEY NEWS COMPANY, 603A Sun Life Bldg., Montreal, Quebec, Can ada.

Game’s Only Negro Line Thrills Sherbrooke Fans

<div class="byline">By JEFF BLADES</div><p>PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man&mdash;</p><p>Hockey fans in Portage La Prairie turned out on a recent Saturday night, to pay tribute to the man who was responsible for the city&rsquo;s only Memorial Cup crown. The man in question is Addie Bell, who is known the length and breath of Manitoba for the part he has played in the pro-motion of hockey and baseball in Portage. Bell moved away from Portage recently after living in the city for 26 years.</p><p>On the Saturday night mentioned earlier, it was &ldquo;Addie Bell Night&rdquo; at the Portage arena. Addie and his wife were presented with a silver tea service and cabinet of silver on behalf of the citizens of Portage. The presentation was made by Joseph Collier, who has been associated with Addie at the South Side Athletic Club for 17 years.</p><p>When Addie came to Portage 26 years ago he immediately realized that the kids didn&rsquo;t have proper hockey facilities. So he made a rink in his own back yard and used the kitchen of his home for a dressing room.</p><p>Addie accomplished a remarkable feat in the early war years when his Portage La Prairie Terriers, boasting two of his own sons in the lineup, (Gordon and Joe), won the Memorial Cup. What was most outstanding about the accomplishment was that Addie had brought most of the youngsters along as a unit. through midget, bantam and juvenile hockey.</p><p>Addie taught dozens of youngsters to skate and stickhandle on the back-yard rink. A year or two later the city turned over a piece of property to be used as a rink and a box car was obtained as a dressing room.</p><p>Now Addie has moved along to serve as a guard officer at the Headingly Jail, on the outskirts of Winnipeg. But it&rsquo;s a safe bet that he&rsquo;ll have many fond memories of his hockey-tutoring days in Portage. And it&rsquo;s a good bet, too, that some of the &rsquo;teen-age clubs around Winnipeg will be seeking his coaching aid or advice.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Fete Coach Who Built “Back Yard” Cup Team

<div class="byline">By LES RUSSELL</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0003-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0138/956118-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">MUST BE A BIG GAME, judging by expressions of Bobby Filion, Maurice Richard and Butch Bouchard, whiling away time during a Pullman trip. At right, Richard and Fillion get quite a kick out of it all during a friendly &ldquo;Injun rasslin&rsquo; bout. <span class="photo-credit">((C.N.R. Photos))</span></figcaption></div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Ever since Maurice &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; Richard broke into the National Hockey League and started standing various goalkeepers on their ears with his scoring ability, the question of just how good is he has raged on the streets, in the press and over the air. If the record book can be taken as any criterion, then he certainly must be included with the all-time greats of the puck-chasing game.</p><p>Recently Richard entered the National Hockey League&rsquo;s exclusive 200 club, reserved for those who have scored 200 goals or more during their N.H.L. career. &lsquo;&lsquo;The Rocket&rdquo; is the only active player in the circuit who holds that distinction.</p><p>Now fans are wondering whether this black-haired, French-Canadian bit of jet propulsion will eventually break the all-time N.H. L. scoring mark of 323 goals held by Nels &ldquo;Old Poison&rdquo; Stewart, who took 115 years to accomplish the feat.</p><p>There are those who say that if Maurice avoids accidents, he may well eclipse the double century and with several seasons still ahead, he really has something to shoot at.</p><p>Never in the past few years has a player caused so much argument among followers of hockey. The inevitable debate on whether he&rsquo;s as great as rated, usually causes mild little men to become extremely pugnacious when they meet friends who hold an opposite view.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0231/956111-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="1169" height="1493"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>In Select Group</b></p><p><b>MAURICE &ldquo;THE ROCKET&rdquo; RICHARD</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Does he rank with Howie Morenz, Nels Stewart, Aurel Joliat or Bill Cook? Will he be named to The Hockey Hall of Fame? These are the questions which have resulted in gallons of printers ink being used in publishing the pros and cons of this hockey siege gun.</p><p>Frankly, we are not going to say whether Richard is in a class by himself&mdash;on a par with Morenz&mdash;or just another hockey player. His feats are in the record book for everyone to see.</p><h2><b>Another Morenz</b></h2><p>It&rsquo;s only natural that in Montreal, where they both flashed as hockey greats, raising the question of &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; wearing the &ldquo;Morenz Mantle&rdquo; is like lighting a cigarette while standing kneedeep in gasoline. To many, there will never be another to match the Stratford Streak.</p><p>&ldquo;Le Rocket&rdquo;, some claim, came up in a war era when good players were about as easy to find as a fancy dancer strutting her stuff in a blizzard.</p><p>They&rsquo;ll tell you it was much easier to score goals then, than it is now, or in the so-called &ldquo;good old days&rdquo;. Be that as it may, Richard has done more than his share to turn the spotlight on North America&rsquo;s great winter sport.</p><p>In years to come, they will be comparing Richard with another youngster who is setting the N.H.L. on fire and the same old story will be retold.</p><p>But remember that Conn Smythe, one of hockey&rsquo;s most shrewd operators, and chief of Toronto Maple Leafs, once offered $50,000 for the Canadien flash and stated that he would make it $75,000 if Richard could back-check.</p><h2><b>Great Winger</b></h2><p>No one doubts that &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; is at least the greatest right winger since Charlie Conacher and Bill Cook hung up their skates.</p><p>Ever since he started, this 175-pound whiz has been a marked man on the ice. He is probably checked harder than any other player in the &lsquo;game. While it might make Montreal fans and Richard angry at the time, that in itself is a tribute to his ability. The idea is to stop him. If the rules have to be stretched a little in the process, that&rsquo;s okay, opponents say.</p><p>Usually Maurice manages to keep his temper fairly well under control, but when he does blow his top, the result is really something to see. One of the best stories about his fistic ability (and he has plenty of it) centers around the night he clashed with Bob Dill, then a defenseman with New York Rangers.</p><h2><b>Lid Blows Off</b></h2><p>Canadiens were playing Rangers in New York and Dill had tangled with Montreal&rsquo;s Pride on a couple of occasions. Finally the lid blew off and Dill, who had a fair reputation of being handy with his dukes, let go with a mighty right-hand punch, earmarked for &ldquo;The Rocket&rsquo;s&rdquo; jaw. The latter ducked, and countered with a right of his own.</p><p>His fist came in violent contact with Dill&rsquo;s whiskers and down went the Ranger just as cold as the ice he landed on. Richard didn&rsquo;t even stop to argue the point. He just skated over and sat down in the penalty box.</p><p>When the trainers finally managed to bring Dill back into the world of the living, the ref handed him a penalty also. Figuring that he must redeem himself in the eyes of the home fans. Bob swung with another mighty effort as soon as he was within range of Richard.</p><p>This time the blow was blocked and Maurice cut loose with a short left chop to Dill&rsquo;s jaw. The result was the same as before. Bob went down and was asleep for three minutes and that ended the actual fighting.</p><h2><b>Hits His Stride</b></h2><p>If that battle did nothing else, it indicated to the rest of the league that you had to be chary of Richard. He also had a feud with Bill Ezinicki of Toronto Maple Leafs and both are watched carefully every time the two clubs meet.</p><p>It was while he was a member of the Canadiens&rsquo; famous Punch Line of Elmer Lach, center, and Hector &ldquo;Toe&rdquo; Blake, left wing, that &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; started to hit his stride. This trio set a couple of records and Maurice added a few on his own hook.</p><p>In 1944-45 this atomic player set a new mark by scoring 50 goals in a single season. And he had to break the old record of 44 sniped by that great Irish star, Joe Malone, who wore a Canadien sweater when he established his mark in 1917-18.</p><h2><b>Malone was There</b></h2><p>Malone was at the rink the night Richard cracked his record and was one of the first to congratulate him. Maurice is the 17th player of modern times to net 200 goals or better in N.H.L. competition.</p><p>Here are the other records he holds or shares:</p><p>Most scoring points tn a single game, set in 1944 on December 28, with eight against Detroit Red Wings. That evening he rapped in five goals and had three assists.</p><p>Most points in one season for a right wing. That record came in 1944-45 when he banged in 50 goals and assisted in 23 others for 73 points.</p><p>Most goals in a playoff series. &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; scored 12 times in nine games during the 1943-44 post season play against Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black Hawks.</p><p>Most goals scored In a single playoff game. Richard sent five pucks into the Toronto net in the second game of the semi-final series on March 23, 1944. Canadiens won the contest 5-1.</p><p>Most points in a single playoff game. This mark is held jointly by Richard and &ldquo;Toe&rdquo; Blake, both of whom then were with the Habitants. On March 23, 1944, each man picked up five points. Richard got five goals and Blake the same number of assists.</p><p>Highest scoring line during regular league play for a season&mdash;Montreal Canadiens&rsquo; trio of Blake, Lach and Richard. The three amassed a total of 220 points. In 50 games, Lach had 80 points, Richard 73 and Blake 67.</p><p>This same line holds the record of being the highest scoring trio in playoff series. They came through with 48 points in nine games against Toronto and Chicago. Blake had 18, Richard 17 and Lach 13.</p><p>&ldquo;Le Rocket&rdquo; is undoubtedly the most dynamic player to come over the pike in years. He simply plays havoc with opposing goalkeepers and defensemen. They&rsquo;ll all tell you he&rsquo;s a hard man to stop.</p><p>Some netminders swear that if you leave an inch of your net open, &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; can plunk that rubber disc dead center. He can shoot from all angles and when close in is uncanny in placing a shot.</p><p>Unlike Morenz, who could leave both teammate and rival flat when he broke away on one of his dashing rushes, Richard is not a speed demon. He is however, a harder shot stan Howie was and probably picks his spot a little more carefully.</p><h2><b>Time Will Tell</b></h2><p>He&rsquo;s a serious sort of fellow who seldom talks of his ability. He&rsquo;s grumpy when the game doesn&rsquo;t go right but blames no one but himself.</p><p>Richard comes from Bordeaux, near Montreal and was born in August, 1921. He&rsquo;s married and the proud father of two children&mdash;Huguette, and Maurice Junior.</p><p>Only time will tell just how much of the record hook this French-Canadian youth will rewrite. As it is, his feats are legion. Whether he will ever break Nels Stewart&rsquo;s all-time scoring mark will only be answered with the years.</p><p>Regardless of all the debate surrounding Richard, there&rsquo;s not a team in the N.H.L. who wouldn&rsquo;t like to have him wearing its uniform.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Is Richard As Good As They Say?

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p class="dropcap"><b><span>D</span>ETROIT&rsquo;S JACK STEWART</b> is one guy that&rsquo;s always in stiches. The beltin&rsquo; blueline stalwart of the Red Wings is undisputed &ldquo;stitch king&rdquo; &lsquo;of the N.H.L. Black Jack has taken a total of 230 stitches in his face alone during his 8&frac12; years in the National loop. Hockey history will be made in Chicago one night in March, when for the first time since pro hockey came to Chi in 1926, a special night will be held to honor a player. Doug Bentley, oustanding center of the Black Hawks, will be so honored when the Windy City fans pay tribute to the game little fellow who has been a star performer and a Chicago favorite right from the time he broke in with the team in the fall of 1939. He&rsquo;s now in his tenth season with the Hawks. The four Chicago fan clubs, Standbys. Sidleiners, Tomahawks and Nazdars are all assisting in making the &ldquo;Doug Bentley Night&rdquo; a huge success&hellip;We are fortunate enough to be in New York last week to attend the gala dinner Sport Magazine staged in which they presented &ldquo;Oscars&rdquo; to the top athletes of 1948.

Passing the Puck

<div class="byline">By BUNNY MORGANSON</div><p>TORONTO. Ont.&mdash;</p><p>A survey shows that over 3,000 hockey teams, young and old, are chasing the little black puck over Ontario&rsquo;s natural ice, artificial rinks, and frozen ponds as King Winter prepare for his leap from January to February in the sportdom&rsquo;s march of time.</p><p>An actual count of total teams is impos sible, but from organized ranks it is known that the Ontario Hockey Association is bursting at th seams with almost 2,000 teams either entered directly, or by way of one of their many affiliated associations. For example, the Ontario Minor Hockey Association will top 500 teams before they are finished counting the huge entry list. In the greater Toronto area alone, the Toronto Hockey League will pass the 600-team mark.</p><h2><b>Best Season Yet</b></h2><p>Ontario rural hockey has never enjoyed a better or more Enthusiastic season and their entry list has reached the flood-tide of expectations. There is also Bob Crosky&rsquo;s Northern Ontario Hockey Association, the Western Ontario Amateur Athletic Association, under the capable leadership of Wingham&rsquo;s Tory Gregg, countless minor groups including Midget N.H.L. leagues in Sudbury, Mount Dennis and many other centres.</p><p>Service clubs Lions, Kiwanis, Kinsmen and others, have entered the promotional hockey field for the younger Jads.</p><p>With natural playing ice a scarcity and rentals for artificial rinks away above the reach of most groups, the big mystery is how can they all get ice for their games?</p><p>A sign of the times and expansion of minor hockey promotion comes to light in the fact the Toronto Hockey League, which for some 35 years has limited itself to rinks in and around the Greater &lsquo;Toronto area, and been obliged to make arrangements for games at Markham, Nolbeton, Lester&rsquo;s Corners and Richmond, Hill. The first three locations are at least 25 miles from down-town Toronto.</p><h2><b>Lassies Too!</b></h2><p>It all adds up to the ever-increasing popularity of hockey as a sport for young Canadians. The latest is the introduction of a girl&rsquo;s hockey league. It&rsquo;s not new as it was tried years ago, but this time it&rsquo;s the younger lassies or the East York Recreational Club.</p><p>* * *</p><p>ONTARIO PUCK DATA: With a little more than two weeks left in regular scheduled play, the senior and junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; division of the Ontario Hockey Association are gunning their respective line-ups for the play-off derby. Four of the five senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; clubs qualify while six of the nine junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; teams are also in the special postseason tangle for more gates and Memorial Cup fame.</p><p>From this observation station, Toronto Marlboros and Kitchener&rsquo;s Flying Dutchmen should make it a close one-two finish in the senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; division with Hamilton Tigers, defending champions, coasting along in third spot and Owen Sound a solid fourth.</p><p>Marlboros added Eric Pogue to their roster before the final dash and he has proved to be quite a help. Pogue, it is recalled, played for Oshawa Generals last season and, after a brilliant display of hockey class during Maple Leafs school last fall at St. Catharines, was signed to a professional contract. However, after training a week with Pittsburgh Hornets at the Welland Arena, he had the misfortune to fracture his anklo when bumped into the end-boards during a vigorous practice session.</p><p>Pogue remained on the side lines until after Christmas when he was finally given the medical o.k. to resume skating. Official permission from the hockey brass was granted and Pogue was once again an amateur, playing for the senior Dukes.</p><p>Top four positions in the OHA junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series will not likely be settled until the final games. Windsor Spitfires, Barie Flyers, Oshawa Generals and Stratford Kroehjers remain closely bunched for the key play-off positions. Guelph Biltmores should&rsquo;t finish, any lower than fifth and there is a possible chance they may put on a spurt and wind-up fourth.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Calvert Family OF FINE WHISKIES

<div class="byline">By JIMMY MENZIES</div><p>(Tulsa Tribune)</p><p>TULSA, Okla.&mdash;</p><p>If a fellow has hockey in his blood, there doesn&rsquo;t seem to be any kind of an injury serious enough to make him give up the game. |</p><p>Even a fractured skull won&rsquo;t do it, because Left Winger Maurice &ldquo;Moe&rdquo; Young of the Tulsa Ice Oilers suffered such an injury last season. And to see him whiz up and down the ice right now you&rsquo;d never guess that he had ever had more than the usual bumps and bruises.</p><p>Young had his skull fractured in the first game of the season last fall while playing with the Regina Abbott junior league team. He was injured when boarded by Bedard, now playing with the Kansas City Pla-Mors, and was in the hospital for a month, But he was back on the ice playing top-notch hockey again before the season ended.</p><h2><b>Didn&rsquo;t Stop Him</b></h2><p>Such most folks a little &ldquo;gun shy&rdquo;, but Young came back with a bang. In his first game after the injury, he scored four goals and three assists against the Fort Arthurs Bruins, ultimate winners of the Canadian junior championship and Maurice claims that great return to the ice game is the biggest thrill he has ever enjoyed in hockey.</p><p>&ldquo;Moe&rdquo; at her of the though he&rsquo;s son of pro 20 is the baby memOiler squad and alplaying his first seahockey, he&rsquo;s already stamped himself as the best looking major league prospect in the entire U.S. Hockey league. Young takes the puck down the ice with the weaving elusive hip movement of a great broken field football runner and once he&rsquo;s in front of an opponent&rsquo;s goal he&rsquo;s just plain poison.</p><p>The young Oiler rookie is a fine all-around athlete, &ndash; but hockey is his favorite sport and his big ambition is to make the ice game&rsquo;s major league.</p><p>Besides hockey, &ldquo;Moe&rdquo; plays baseball, football and golf exceptionally well. He&rsquo;s a right-handed pitcher in baseball and summer before last hurled his team to the Canadian Collegiate championship. He shoots golf in the low seventies and while in high school won quite a name for him-self as a football player.</p><p>Young was born at Regina Saskatchewan, March 23, 1928 and began playing hockey at the age of ten in a pee wee league operated by the Kinsmen&rsquo;s club of Regina. After out-growing the pee wee circuit, he moved up four seasons of play with the Regina Abbotts, who operate midget, juvenile and class &ldquo;A&rdquo; amateur teams.</p><h2><b>Standout As Amateur</b></h2><p>Maurice was a standout all during his amateur days, but he only played on one championship team and then he played as a military replacement for the Regina Canadians, who won the Saskatchewan juvenile title.</p><p>The Boston Bruins took a liking to Young way back during the 1944-45 season and placed him on their negotiation list. He waited until this fall, however, to turn pro and then was sent to Tulsa for experience Boston officials hope will lead him to a major league career.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0160/956273-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="557" height="1221"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Bright Future</i></b></p><p><b>&ldquo;MOE&rdquo; YOUNG</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Young is single an dup until his injury last season operated a floor sanding business during the off season. He gave up the business last summer, however, to go to California to recuperate from his injury and get ready for the current hockey campaign.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Promising Tulsa Newcomer Had To Fight Injury Jinx

Lucky Pants

<p>SOUTH PORCUPINE, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The weather all over Canada this year has been strange what with rain, snow and sleet. In many places it has played havoc with hockey schedules. Down here they recently had one for books.</p><p>A real rain storm blew into the South Porcupine district and made driving hazardous. The roads finally got so bad that it was impossible to use a car.</p><p>The result was that two hockey clubs were forced to skate six miles home following their games. The Junior Combines played South Porcupine while the South Porcupine Juveniles played against McIntyre.</p><p>Both the Combines and South Porcupines Juveniles found themselves in the same plight. Away from home and with roads in such bad shape that cars were not running.</p><p>The lads solved the problem by putting on their skates and using the blades to glide along the frozen highway. It was quite a sight to see 30 hockey players racing along the six mile stretch of ice.</p><p>The Juveniles had it down hill all the way, but the poor Combines, who had just been trounced 17-2, had an uphill climb.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Here’s A Hockey Weather Story To End ’Em All

And, when you have a lad with the sheer courage of 14-year-old Ross Stuckless, that goes double. For the gritty youngster, who stars at defense for the North Yonga Bantam squad in the Toronto Hockey League, has only one arm.</p><p>Ross had started playing hockey at an early age, and then cancer struck him down and caused the amputation of his left arm. His family and friends thought quite naturally he was through.</p><p>But Ross came back to the rink. At first he was refused permission even to skate in practise. But the Glenmount Flyers gave him a chance. His big moment came when he scored a goal and an assist in an important game. Then this year came promotion to the North Yonge team, where he has fitted in effectively by perfecting a sweeping pokecheck and smooth blocking.</p><p>Sheer courage and grit&mdash;that&rsquo;s Ross Stuckless to a &ldquo;T&rdquo;.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Lad With Courage

<p><b>Founded October 1, 1947</b></p><p><b>Published by</b></p><p><b>Hockey News Company, 603A Sun Life Building, Montreal, Que.</b></p><p><b>Yearly Subscription Price $2.50 in Canada&mdash;$3.50 in U.S.A.</b></p><p><b>Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa.</b></p><p><b>Printed in Canada</b></p><p><b>Vol. 2 January 26, 1949 No. 17</b></p><h2><b>GIVE DEFENSEMEN RECOGNITION</b></h2><p>The men behind the blueline are important cogs in any hockey machine, but it&rsquo;s an unfortunate fact that virtually every other player on a team has a far better chance to win a special National Hockey League trophy than hard-working rearguards.</p><p>There is the Vezina Trophy for goalies, the Lady Byng Trophy for the most sportsmanlike player, the Hart Trophy for the most valuable player to his team, the Calder Trophy for rookies and the Art Ross Trophy, newly donated this year for the leading point-getter.</p><p>Looking down the list, you can automatically take out the Vezina and the Art Ross Trophies. A defenseman quite naturally hasn&rsquo;t a Chinaman&rsquo;s chance for the Lady Byng, and when it comes time to pick the best freshman player, the selectors quite naturally look at the flash and dash of the forwards among the rookies. A defenseman has never been selected as the outstanding rookie, although three goalies have made the grade.</p><p>That leaves only the Hart Trophy, which has been won by blueline men eight times in the 25 years since it was first put in circulation. That&rsquo;s just the right average, considering that defensemen make up one-third of a team. But, the fact remains that these boys whose difficult task is to keep the enemy at bay haven&rsquo;t a trophy of their own, to reward them each year for a difficult task well done.</p><p>Most observers seem to agree that there should be such a form of recognition for the rearguards, and a move should be made to bring it to fulfilment. That would spread the trophies around the players and give each and every one something to aim at. If a $1,000 bonus was thrown in along with the cup, as is done with other N.H.L. prizes, the incentive would be all the greater.</p><p>The only problem that remains is how to select the outstanding defenseman, but this shouldn&rsquo;t be too difficult. The N.H.L. coaches at present pick the All-Star Teams. In their balloting, they make their choices for the top defensemen of the year, so it would seem to follow naturally that the man getting the most points for a defense post would be the outstanding defense player in the league.</p><p>It&rsquo;s hard to conceive of any other possibility, since the coaches pick the players on the basis of ability, performance and all the other things that go to make up a hockey star. A Calder Trophy or a Lady Byng Trophy winner might not necessarily be chosen for an All-Star berth, but the league&rsquo;s best defenseman would undoubtedly be given the nod&mdash;unless the coaches had a mass attack of astigmatism!</p><p>Finding of a donor for such a trophy shouldn&rsquo;t be too difficult, and the League Governors would undoubtedly vote the cash bonus for the winning player as they have done with the other awards.</p><p>A trophy for the defensemen would round out the League&rsquo;s selection of silverware completely.</p><h2><b>CANADA LOSING FACE!</b></h2><p>Selection of Sudbury Wolves as Canada&rsquo;s representatives in the World Hockey Championships in Europe seems to have backfired. The team which was picked to represent Canada&mdash;the birthplace of ice hockey&mdash;has been turning in a woeful performance in exhibition games against English teams. That doesn&rsquo;t bode too well for their success in the tournament.</p><p>There is certainly something wrong when Canada is represented by such a team. The fault lies not with the Canadian players, who still are the best in the world, but with the outmoded method of selecting the team.</p><p>The &ldquo;amateur&rdquo; game in Canada has become too commercialized. A strong team like Edmonton Flyers or Montreal Royals won&rsquo;t accept such an assignment, since they would lose too much money and the league they represent would be hard hit. Individual players simply sneer if they are offered positions on an All-Star team, since most of them are making far more money than many full-fledged professional players!</p><p>The only alternative&mdash;if there is any&mdash;would be to face the facts honestly, forget phoney &ldquo;amateurism&rdquo; and make it worth while for the best teams and players to carry Canada&rsquo;s colors in world competition. Gate receipts of amateur teams today, and the receipts of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association wouldn&rsquo;t even feel the strain of such a procedure.</p><p>It would save Canada from becoming the laughing stock of the hockey world.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Player-Of-The-Week

<div class="byline">BY JAMES C. HENDY</div><p class="dropcap"><span>S</span>ummer couldn&rsquo;t pass swiftly enough for Howie, and he was one of the first to reach the training camp when the call went out for the players to report in the fall of 1924.</p><p>Morenz proved he was no flash-in-the-pan when he showed improvement in his second season, finishing in fourth place in the race for scoring honors.</p><p>The Canadiens finished in third place during the regular schedule, but gained a place in the play-offs when the players on the Hamilton Tigers, league leaders, went on the first and only strike in hockey history. They refused to go through with the play-off series against the second &ndash; place Toronto St. Pats unless they were paid a bonus of $200 each.</p><p>Canadiens took the St. Pats in two consecutive games, winning the first 2-1, and the second 2-0. Morenz was the important cog in both games, scoring two of the four goals and getting an assist on a third.</p><p>The Canadiens now travelled to the Pacific Coast to meet the Victoria Cougars, led by the &ldquo;Silver Fox&rdquo; of hockey, Lester Patrick.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01116/956598-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="529" height="1493"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>At The Peak</i></b></p><p><b>HABITANT STAR of the early 1930&rsquo;s, Morenz is shown as he appeared in his early years with the club, when his fame was spreading around the hockey world.</b></p></figcaption></div><h2><b>Wins New Praise</b></h2><p>Lester had a strong team, and they clawed the Canadiens in three games out of four to take the Stanley Cup. But though the Habitants were defeated, nothing could dampen Morenz&rsquo;s indomitable spirit, and the Western fans were loud in their praises of the Stratford Streak. All agreed that he was a worthy successor to &ldquo;Cyclone&rdquo; Taylor&rsquo;s old title of the &ldquo;greatest forward in the game.&rdquo;</p><p>During the series, the Canadiens managed to tally eight goals on wily old &ldquo;Happy&rdquo; Holmes, Cougar goalie. Morenz, fighting for a losing cause, scored four of his team&rsquo;s goals and was the play maker on the other four.</p><p>The Canadiens fell on evil days during the 1925-26 season, but Morenz continued to move ahead. The blow which sent the Habitants skidding down to the bottom of the league was the illness of Georges Vezina, the Canadiens&rsquo; great goal tender.</p><p>Game to the end, Vezina went into the nets for the last time on November 28, 1925, when he faced the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Montreal Forum. He was forced to leave at the end of the first period. Unable to secure a suitable replacement, the Canadiens floundered around.</p><h2><b>Still Color-Packed</b></h2><p>It is significant that, although the Canadiens were far from their usual form, they were still the most pleasing team to Watch, and much of this color was directly traced to the inspired play of the Stratford Streak. But despite the Canadiens&rsquo; poor showing during the 1924-25 season, Morenz finished in fifth place in the scoring lists.</p><p>During his first year with the Canadiens, Howie met Miss Mary McKay Stewart, of Montreal, and when the spring of 1926 rolled around, his happiness was increased when she consented to be his wife, the marriage taking place in June.</p><p>The 1926-27 season saw the greatest expansion of hockey in the history of the game. The Western Canada and Pacific Coast Leagues disbanded and sold their players to the N.H.L. clubs. Franchises were placed in Chicago and Detroit, and a second team&mdash;the Rangers&mdash;represented New York.</p><p>The Canadiens secured George Hainsworth, tops among Western League netminders, from Saskatoon. Herb Gardiner, who had put Howie out of the game a couple of seasons previously, was purchased from Calgary, Billy Boucher was sold to the Americans, and his place was taken by Art Gagne of Edmonton.</p><p>Canadiens finished in second place in the Canadian division of the league, but were eliminated in the play-offs. As usual, Morenz starred throughout the series.</p><h2><b>Son And Heir</b></h2><p>That summer, Howard Morenz, Jr., was born. Howard Sr. was jubilant and nothing could stop him during the 1927-28 campaign. The Flying Frenchmen came out on top of their division chiefly through Howie&rsquo;s play, but didn&rsquo;t get beyond the first playoffs.</p><p>Morenz captured the league&rsquo;s sharp-shooting crown for the first time, and in addition he was awarded the David A. Hart Trophy, the most &ndash; valuable &ndash; player prize.</p><p>The Canadiens wound up on top of their division once more in 1928-29, but again they didn&rsquo;t go far in the play-offs. Howie dropped to third place in the race for scoring honors, but he was still top man on his club.</p><p>The 1929-30 season marked the lifting of all restrictions against forwards going into the attacking zone ahead of the puck, and, for the first time, the forwards had a distinct advantage over the goalies. Howie more than got his share of tallies, finishing with 40 goals and 10 assists.</p><p>The Canadiens finished in second place and were sent up against the Chicago Black Hawks with the mighty &ldquo;Chuck&rdquo; Gardiner in the nets in the second-place play-offs. The first game of this series, which was a two-game total-goals-to-count affair, went to the Canadiens when Wildor Larochelle, who had succeeded Art Gagne on right wing that year, beat Gardiner for the only score.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0275/956591-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="1706" height="1080"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><i>His Favorite Picture</i></p><p><b>HOWIE MORENZ AND HIS SON. This photo of Canadiens&rsquo; great star and Howie Junior was the favorite of the Stratford Streak, whose whole life was wrapped up in his son and the game he loved. The picture had an honored place in his home.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>In the second contest, the score stood 1-0 in favor of the Can adiens at the start of the game by virtue of Larochelle&rsquo;s goal in the opening contest.</p><p>The Hawks, however, inspired by the chance to get into the finals, played desperate hockey from the begining, and early in the first period, Ty Arbour, veteran captain of the Hawks, fired the rubber past Hainsworth to tie the score.</p><p>The Forum was a bedlam when the &ldquo;Millionaires,&rdquo; as the holders of the &ldquo;rush end&rdquo; seats in Montreal&rsquo;s arena are known, started singing Les Canadiens Sont La, as they urged the wearers of the Bleu-BIanc-Rouge on to renewed efforts.</p><p>Something of the spirit of the crowd seemed to get into the players, especially Morenz, but half of the second session had gone before Howie managed to | put the Canadiens once more it I the lead.</p><h2><b>Deadlocked Again</b></h2><p>I This advantage was short-lived the late Earl Miller putting the, Hawks back into the game when managed to push one pas Hainsworth three minutes after Morenz&rsquo;s goal. No further scoring was done in this game for a long while, regular time ending with the score still deadlocked.</p><p>In Stanley Cup play, it was necessary that all play-off games be played to a final decision, excepting the first game of a two-game, total-goal series.</p><p>As the game went into the first extra period, both teams were already well spent. But as the first and then the second extra periods passed, some of the players began to show the effects and staggered around the ice. But they kept on battling. Neither side was willing to give an inch, and although the body checking was so light it normally would not have even caused a player to pause, it now sent many of them sprawling on the ice.</p><p>The third overtime period was halfway over when the big break came.</p><p>Cecil Hart had long since given up hope of keeping his lines intact and had been sending on the players who appeared in the best condition. The irrepressible Morenz was one of these, and he happened to be working with Armand Mondou when opportunity beckoned.</p><h2><b>The Break Comes</b></h2><p>Mondou snared the puck from a Chicago forward in his defense zone. Whirling up center, he paused as he approached &ldquo;Taffy&rdquo; Abel and Teddy Graham, waiting grimly on the Chicago defense for him. He knew that, in his tired condition, it would be almost impossible to get by them, and that a shot from outside the defense would be turned aside by Gardiner.</p><p>As he hesitated a split second, he heard a shout on his right, and glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Morenz boring on him. Timing his pass perfectly, Mondou slid the puck over the ice to the speeding Morenz.</p><p>Howie never hesitated, and the click of the puck as it touched his stick and the whining sound it made as it flew into the cords behind Gardiner blended as one.</p><p>The longest hockey game up to that time was finally over, after one hour, fifty-one minutes and forty-three seconds. The Stratford Streak had been on the job again!</p><h2><b>Praise For Opponent</b></h2><p>Generous always in his praise of his opponents, Howie brushed aside those fans who jumped onto the ice to shower their congratulations on him. His only thought was for Gardiner, the Chicago goalie he had just beaten, whose heart had been set on making the finals.</p><p>Words tumbled from Howie&rsquo;s mouth as he pumped the arm of the blackhaired Scotsman, congratulating him on the superb exhibition of goal keeping he had just given.</p><p>Could Morenz and Gardiner have looked into the future, they would have seen that, within seven years, both of them&mdash;the greatest goalie and the greatest forward of the time&mdash;would have gone to their final reward.</p><p>The Canadiens next eliminated the New York Rangers in straight games to gain the right to play the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup.</p><p>The two grueling series they had just been through did not seem to affect the Flying Frenchmen, and they shocked the hockey world by knocking over the supposedly invincible Boston Bruins in two consecutive games to capture the world&rsquo;s title.</p><h2><b>Everyone Liked Him</b></h2><p>Howie&rsquo;s gesture when he congratulated Chuck Gardiner, after he had beaten him with the winning goal in that memorable series, explains a lot about Morenz. From the day when he first joined the Canadiens, Howie commenced making friends, and it is doubtful if any player in hockey ever enjoyed the admiration of more people.</p><p>Generous to a fault, Howie was an easy mark for those fairweather friends who swarm like flies around celebrities. Howie never believed much of the flattery which they heaped on him, but he could never say &ldquo;no&rdquo; to the inevitable &ldquo;touch&rdquo; which usually followed these fawning compliments.</p><p>When Hec Kilrea first broke in with the Ottawa Senators, he was a devil-may-care type of a kid. In a game against the CanaCana-, Hec sailed into Howie far more vigorously than the occasion demanded.</p><p>Howie, never one to seek trouble, was always willing to meet it halfway. So the next time Hec showed an inclination to come in on him, Howie neatly upended him.</p><p>Hec picked himself up and whanged Morenz over the head with his stick, opening up a cut which took a number of stitches to close. Hec was chased with a match penalty and the Incident reported to Frank Calder, president of the National Hockey League.</p><h2><b>True Sportsman</b></h2><p>Mr. Calder sent for Kilrea, but before he could arrive, Howie himself appeared.</p><p>&ldquo;I hope you won&rsquo;t take any action against Kilrea,&rdquo; Howie began, according to Mr. Calder, who related the incident to me. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s just a peppery kid, and I started it by charging him.&rdquo;</p><p>Mr. Calder never forgot this exhibition of Morenz&rsquo;s sportsmanship. It gave him an insight into the character of a player of whom he became very fond.</p><p>Howie loved golf, and the president of the league was one of his most frequent companions on the links for several years. He enjoyed life to the utmost and hated to think of others suffering.</p><p>Before a game, Howie was very temperamental and nervous. But once the puck was &ldquo;faced,&rdquo; ha relaxed and frequently played practical jokes on his teammates while on the bench. In fact, ha always reminded you of a grown up boy more than a seasoned professional athlete.</p><p>When a game was over, he enjoyed a glass of beer and liked to talk over the game with the boys. He always soft-spoken, and while he loved an argument, never let it get out of hand and would end it with a joke if has thought it was becoming too heated.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div><p>HALIFAX, N.S.&mdash;</p><p>The surge of the Saint John Beavers and the heavy toll&rsquo; taken of playing members of the Dartmouth Arrows have highlighted proceedings in the Maritime Senior (Big Four) Hockey League to date.</p><p>In the first three weeks of the schedule Beavers languished in the cellar. No better than mediocre on the road, they weren&rsquo;t even that good at home. Catcalls of the fans spurred them to greater efforts but still they couldn&rsquo;t click.</p><p>Then it happened. Passes started to hit the target, and shots in close started to beat the goalies. Doggedly but steadily they fought their way into third place, then second and then, while playing in Halifax, they forged into the lead.</p><h2><b>They Have It</b></h2><p>The reason Beavers are leading the league is simple&mdash;they&rsquo;re playing the best hockey. In center Dick Wray and right winger Nick Nicolle they have two prolific scorers. Besides their offensive play both take their turns tracking down the members of the other clubs.</p><p>The defense has tightened and veteran goalie Angus (Sonny) MacDonald is setting the pace for the other backstoppers. For a while Dartmouth&rsquo;s Kenny Dargavel put Sonny slightly in the shade but of late MacDonald forged ahead.</p><p>Meanwhile Arrows have hard hit by injuries. High ing winger Harry Mosienko is out for, several weeks with a broken wrist. Veteran Alex (Whiz Bang) Robertson, whose has been the talk is sidelined with a broken thump.</p><p>Then there has been a change in the status of Marty Barry, old time star with Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings. Marty has now taken over as chief coach of the Halifax St. Mary&rsquo;s hockey organization, looking after junior and juvenile teams as well as acting in an advisory capacity with the seniors. Manager Jim McDonald works from the bench with the seniors as Marty studies the overall picture.</p><p>St. Mary&rsquo;s will have &ldquo;A&rdquo; team this season junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; aggregation strong enough to retain time title they have won the past three seasons. St. Mary&rsquo;s, currently leading the Halifax Junior League, may expect their strongest competition this season from the St. Andrew&rsquo;s, N.B. squad.</p><p>In Cape Breton the power-packed Sydney Millionaires are leading the others by a comfortable margin. The Millionaires lose the occasional game but, after a slow and baffling start, have been consistently good.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
