BiggerCrowds, Bigger Cheers,—Better Team
CHICAGO. Ill.— The sturdy rafters of the famed Chicago Stadium, cold and still more often than not on hockey nights in recent years, are once again beginning to stir with the noise of big hockey crowds. Chicago’s holler in’ fans are coming back to their old haunt in rapidly increasing numbers now that the Black Hawks have stampeded well out of the NHL cellar. Turnouts at the Hawks’ first nine home games this season soared to an impressive total of 95,085, which represented a gain of almost 20,000 over a year ago, Outsiders who had blamed the previous attendance drops on television and the high cost of living and not the then faltering Chicago team are now scratching their scalps in amazement. “And every crowd has been better than that of the corresponding…
Boston Scribes Rally to Side Of Suspended Egan

Harry Lumley, to put it in a capsule, has not knocked ’em dead. Lumley, since he pulled on a Leaf jersey at the start of this season, has fallen short of being the Barrymore in the drama, the Colossus of the Leaf cage that a lot of people, with a sense for the dramatic, thought he might be. A good percentage of the populations of Toronto, Montreal and Boston, who have witnessed examples of his human failings, have been second guessing the sanity of C. Smythe in obtaining him from the Chicago Black Hawks. Their argument is strengthened by the fact that Al Rollins, who, along with Gus Mortson and Cal Gardner, went to the Hawks to obtain him, has been acrobating like a composite of Thurston, Mandrake and Tarzan of…
