Sid Smith Sets His Sights On 30 Goals
TORONTO, Ont.— It was in Detroit where the annual All-Star classic was being played and the pickups had just vacated the ice vanquished by the powerful Stanley Cup Wings 7-1. Sid Smith, the Leaf left winger an also ran on the All-Stars, had scored their one and only goal at 18.27 seconds of the third period so that it shouldn’t be a total disgrace.

Last season in 64 regular schedule games he notched four…
