OI’ Man Mose Far from Ready to Hang It Up

CHICAGO, Ill.— At 30, and neither taller nor very much heavier than when he first came up, Willie-the-Wisp Mosienko is the old man of the Chicago Black Hawks by service seniority since he first came up to the National Hockey League in the 1941-42 season. Of his team mates of that campaign, not one is still a Hawk and only Max Bentley, now with Toronto, is still in the National League. Those 1941-42 Hawks included such familiar names as Mush March, Red Hamill, Alex Kaleta, the Carse brothers, Joe Cooper, George Allen, Johnny Mariucci, Art Wiebe and others. Mosienko feels he has another couple of good seasons left in his physical frame, rather fragile by big League standards. He is 5 feet 8 inches, weighs 160 and in his dozen years up with…

Chewy Bruins’ Hope As First Wing On Dream Team

Bostons Have Won All Star Nods Everywhere Else But Even Bauer, Dumart Missed Sidewinger Jobs BOSTON, Mass.— For a team which has contributed players to the National League all-star team more or less regularly lover two decades, the Boston Bruins have been noticeably deficient in one department. In all that time they have never placed a wing on the annual “dream” team. Over the years Bill Cowley and Milt Schmidt have been all-star centers; Dit Clapper, Eddie Shore, Babe Siebert, Bill Quackenbush and Johnny Crawford have been seleced as defensemen, and Tiny Thompson and Frank Brimsek have been chosen as goaltenders. But no Bruin has ever been selected as a wing, not even Bobby Bauer and Woody Dumart in their palmiest days. Bauer, Dumart, Clapper and Herb Cain have all been named to…

Buffalo Gets Durham In Their Only Trade

BUFFALO, N.Y.— As the American Hockey League trading deadline came and passed, Buffalo General Manager Art Chapman vainly sought to strengthen his Bisons for the stretch drive and the post season playoffs. Despite efforts to make trades with several clubs, an even-up switch with Indianapolis in which Buffalo got defenseman Pete Durham in return for left winger Don Ashbee, was the only deal consummated. It was very unlikely that the trade will have much bearing on Buffalo’s final finish. Durham, a rookie in the AHL and the loop’s most penalized player. iust isn’t the cure-all to the Bisons’ multitudinous ills. Buffalo, while definitely dethroned as Eastern Division champions, may lay claim to the title of being the team with the greatest turnover in personnel during the season. No less than 33 players cavorted…
