“Our Slump Is Over,” Says Clancy As Mohawks Try To Close On Barons
(The Cincinnati Enquirer)CINCINNATI, 0.— Although Coach King Clancy’s Cincinnati Mohawks seem no longer a serious threat to the supremacy of the Cleveland Barons in the American Hockey League’s western division race, the King wants it known that his club is definitely heading for the Calder Cup playoffs in March. The Mohawks, who were the rage of the league during October and November, took a disastrous December slump when they netted only seven points on three wins and a tie in ten games, and just when the opposition was starting to figure the Clancymen as a grade “A” pushovers, King has his club burning again on all cylinders and rearin’ to go. Barring a general and complete collapse on the part of the Barons, who at this writing were 14 points in front of…

CLEVELAND, O.— When 20-year-old Walter Hergesheimer turned pro in 1947 as a Cleveland hockey farm hand with the Minneapolis Millers of the United States League, his size was reckoned to be against him. He was fast and hustling, but was short and a light-weight. The next year he played the full 70-game schedule with another farm club, San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League. The reports on him were glowing. He scored 73 points including 34 goals.

Last year Wally was moved up for another shot at the U.S. League. He scored 80 points including 43 goals for Minneapolis and was selected at…
