‘Dad’ Douglas Spurs Royals To Neck and Neck Race With Aces
Takes Over QSHL Scoring Parade, From Valleyfield’s Corriveau, for First Time MONTREAL, Que.— The resurgence of the rollicking Royals who roared to five straight victories along with the ascendancy of Les Douglas in the scoring picture are the two predominant factors in the Quebec Senior Hockey League during the past week.

He is hurting the rest of the League, and I don’t like it.” The incident that brought the feud to a head involved ‘Rocket’ Richard and his aching ulcers — or whatever else was wrong with his stomach. On the Thursday before the Sunday, Jan. 13, that the Canucks were to appear at Madison Square Garden, Irvin gave out the story that Richard “would be out a month” with his sudden disorders. Faith, or something else, was a quick healer. Richard not only sneaked back onto the ice in two days to score three goals against the Hawks, but appeared no less healthy than usual the next night in New York. “You saw him,” Boucher told several…
