Stan Maxwell As Hitter And Hurler Sets North On Fire
NORTH BAY, Ont.— Just about the hardest hitter ever to appear on the local fastball horizon in its history is Stan Maxwell, who spends his time during the winter months playing pro hockey. Maxwell, six-foot, 190 pound member of the Palangio Dodgers, is a hard-skating forward in the hockey season. Last season he divid ed his time playing for Buffalo, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Ironmen and also had a brief whirl with Montreal Canadiens. The hometown product is a power hitter deluxe and probably would have gone a long way in pro baseball if this town had been baseball conscious.

QUEBEC CITY, Que.— Frank Byrne, owner of Quebec Citadels, went shopping for a hockey coach and figured he hit bargain day when he landed Phil Watson,, erstwhile of the. New York Rangers. The Cits boss wasn’t specifically hunting bargains and he wasn’t probing in basements as he had such high grade coaching material on the string as. Happy Emms, Don Penniston, Hooley Smith, Billy Reay and Elmer Lach. It’s strictly “no sale” unless one speaks “in big figures to these talented hockeymen.
