NATIONAL LEAGUE
Tiger Penalized Leo (Tiger) Gravelle was given a hand by the crowd when he drew one of his rare penalties for battling with Fernie Flaman, the Bruin’s husky rearguard, in the final period at the Montreal Forum. His first penalty of the year. Hard Check Hardest body-check seen in years was handed out by Bill Ezinicki, at Toronto, when he caught Jimmy McFadden of Red Wings in full flight, hit him a terrific jolt, McFadden falling to the ice so heavily that he hit his head and got a slight concussion.

City Solons Conn At War
TORONTO, Ont — A war between the city fathers of Toronto and Conn Smythe of the Leafs over an exchange of hockey tickets, caused considerable comment in the Good City recently. But as usual Mr. Toronto came out on top, his guns turned out to be much bigger than the city’s Controllers. It all started when Smythe moved the Conrtollers’ seats from the rea sections of the Gardens to the blue seats. “We moved these fellows from the red seats to the blue seats because we had 5,000 seats in the blues and only 600 in the reds. If they think they’re too good to be sitting with 5,000 good Canadians in the blues, then maybe they won’t be sitting there long either,” Smythe screamed. The Leaf Boss said that the Gardens management…
Playing Coach Hozzo To Add Punch To Fresnoites
FRESNO, Calif.— Hec Pozzo, 31-year-old veteran forward of the American League St. Louis Flyers, has been appointed playing-coach of the Fresno Falcons, Southern Division, Pacific Coast League, to replace Bob Grade, general manager of the club, who will devote more of his time to other matters. At this time that means obtaining additional help for his Southern Division champs of 1948-49. Pozzo was sent to Fresno by its parent club, St. Louis, on 24-hour recall, which means Grade would automatically take over again as coach if Hec was needed by the Flyers. Can Use Him A centerman, Pozzo should give the Falcons some much needed scoring punch. He has been a 20-goal scorer in three of his last five seasons in professional puck play and he has been high up in the scoring on…
Wings Have A Very Short Stop On Top
DETROIT, Mich.— The powerful Detroit Red Wings had an extremely short visit to that perch where they roosted so long last year — first place in the National Hockey League. Winning two games in unexpected fashion, the unpredictable Wings moved into the N.H.L. penthouse on Oct. 27. They shared accommodations with the Montreal Canadiens for two days, and then pushed the Canadiens downstairs on Oct. 29 with a 1-0 victory. The plush setup on the top floor apparently was too strong for Detroit’s blood. At any rate, the Wing laddies were evicted 24 hours later on the strength of a 4-1 defeat by those same Canadiens. That first stay was nice, but extremely brief compared to a year ago. Then the Wings virtually made first place a permanent residence. In 1948-49 Detroit grabbed the NHL…
