AHL Rookie Crop Thin This Year; Upcoming Talent Being Sought
ST. LOUIS, Mo.— If you want to be a pro hockey play-your chances never were better, as as the American League is coner, far cerned. The junior league enrolled this year one of its smallest and least-distinguished freshman classes in history. Barely two dozen young men are nearing the end of their first season in the game’s second-fastest league. Almost without exception, the nine remaining clubs of the AHL are poking into every corner of the game, hunting replacements for veterans who are creaking alarmingly. The quality of the freshman class of 1949-50 is proven by the fact that 10 of its members went into the National League this winter, for trials or for keeps. Obviously, the big league, too, has use for newcomers who can keep the pace. It’s been another tale this…
500 Hockey Will Get Bruins In, Says Lynn
(The Boston Travelor) BOSTON, Mass.— If the Bruins can split even in their remaining games, Boston fans will have nothing to worry about except the playoffs. For according to Coach Lynn Patrick, a .500 record from here in will give the Bruins third place in the National Hockey League. The Bruins overcame one of their toughest obstacles when they took six of a possible 10 points on their five-game road trip recently. Now they are faced with the pleasantness of playing eight of their final 12 games in the chummy environs of the Boston Garden. Of the eight games at home, five are against the New York Rangers, Chicago Black Hawks and Montreal Canadiens—all teams now below Les Hug-itants in the standings. The other three contests are against the two topnotch teams, Toronto and…
Hawks’ Jinx Hits Players, Writers, Also
CHICAGO, Ill.— Chicago players apparently walk under ladders, while black cats cross their paths on the way to the games. Every day seems like Friday the 13th for the because their Black Hawks only luck is bad. They have suffered 190 injuries since the start of the season and cost president William Tobin more than $10,000 for hospital bills. Chicago fans hold their team in such low esteem that they stay away in droves to set a new alltime low in attendance almost every other day. Sports editors of Chicago newspapers claim that interest in the team has fallen to such depths they can’t even give away their free passes. Writers who once followed the team have pleaded for other assignments. Ten men from three of the city’s newspapers have asked for other work…
Harvey’s New Hustle Has Fandom Agasi--No More Boos For Him
MONTREAL, Que. For four years every Peel and St. Catherine Street hanger-on, every railbird who was ever clever enough to form an opinion and many of the experts who form them but have no right to, have been saying that Doug Harvey has what it takes. The story that Defenseman Doug had the ability to be great was so used up that the worst run down recording of Rag-Mop sounded better. But now it seems that Harvey does have the ability. He has fooled many hockey brains during the past two weeks with his scintillating showings night after night. The once loud chorus of boos from the rafters of the Montreal Forum have now changed to cheers for Doug, proof that whichever way you look at it, the memories of the sporting…
