“We’ve Got Howe” Says Ted Of Wings’ Chances
NORTH BAY, Ont.— A healthy looking, well-tanned Ted Lindsay, still as personable off the ice as he is harassing to rival teams on the ice, will be starting his 10th hockey campaign with the Detroit Red Wings in the fall. For Lindsay himself and his many northern admirers the years have gone by swiftly for the all-star leftwinger who formerly called Kirkland Lake home. Fans up this way can remember like it was yestereday when Ted, fresh from junior company at St. Mike’s, was breaking into the pro grind with the Wings. It was then that NHL observers were saying that the Lindsay kid wouldn’t last in the big league because “he was much too pugnacious for his size.” Theodore, despite his smallness of stature, never backed away from any opponent, large or small,…
Tobin Scotches Rumors About Mosie Going To NY To Reunite Pony Line

Nels Stewart Picks Howie Morenz As Game’s All-Time Best
NORTH BAY, Ont.— The man who was responsible for discovering one of the game’s greatest centermen and who up until last season had scored more goals in the National Hockey League than anyone else was a visitor in North Bay for the first time recently. Now a little heavier than he was in the days when he cruised around the ice lanes for Montreal Maroons, Boston Bruins and New York Americans is Nels (Big Poison) Stewart. Apparently Stewart is just as good at his salesman’s job with O’Keefe’s Brewing Company as he was in swishing pucks behind rival goalies in his playing days. He and a fellow salesman Clarke Lowe were winners of a Company conducted contest and their reward was an expense paid fishing trip to Keystone Camp. The big fellow who produced…

Windsor, Oshawa Sought To Join Growing Circuit STRATFORD, Ont.— With a remodelled arena at Hamilton and a new one planned for occupancy in a year’s time at Brantford, plus an entry from Niagara Falls, Ont., the senior “A” O.H.A. group has developed growing pains, and will be known as the “Big Eight” this coming season. Oshawa and Windsor also applied for admission, but a majority vote of the eight current affiliated clubs rejected both applications. Unless the present picture is changed by the Ontario amateur hockey governors, and Bill Butcher, co-owner of the Windsor Arena with his brother, Is still said to be clamoring for admittance, the group will be composed of the seven charter members, Owen Sound Mercurys, Hamilton Tigers, Brantford Redmen, Kitchener Dutchmen, Sarnia Sailors, Chatham Maroons and Stratford Indians and…
